    🎭 Jesus told parables for a reason—here's how storytelling makes your class unforgettable
    😬 The #1 vibe killer in class: flat energy. Here's how to bring the fire without overwhelming
    🧘🏻‍♀️ How to structure a theme class like a sermon
    💬 The subtle shift from “convert” to “invite”—and why your students will feel the difference
    ✨ How to avoid spiritual bypassing and over-explaining your way into being preachy
    🔌 A reminder that you’re the conduit, not the source—and why that’s actually freeing
    🎧 Bonus inspo: the book that sparked this episode 15 years ago and a preacher who walks the talk

    Have you ever been bored with your teaching?

    We’re talking, "I'm sick of the sound of my own voice,” bored…Tori Lubecki’s been there. Once a Cirque du Soleil aerialist (yes, seriously), she made the leap into yoga teaching—and quickly realized she was just going through the motions. Her classes were technically solid... but something was missing.

    You don’t need to teach more—you need to teach deeper.

    We get into:

    👉🏼 The “boring herself” moment that sent her down a learning rabbit hole
    😬 The old habit that made her look confident—but secretly held her back
    🧘🏻‍♀️ The weird thing she believes separates forgettable teachers from magnetic ones
    🎯 How she builds classes that feel fresh, even when she’s teaching 12x a week
    ✨ Her secret sauce for theming (and why she never teaches someone else’s theme)
    🌴 The one environment where she has unlimited energy (even on no sleep)
    🎭 Why she ditched the “light in me sees the light in you” ending for something better
    📚 The little system that keeps her organized, inspired, and always ready to teach

    This one’s for the teachers who know they’ve got more to give—but just need a nudge (or a theme) to bring it out.

    ? SHOP THE BLACK FRIDAY BLOWOUT SALE (Discounts Disappear Dec 1st 2025 at midnight!) ⏰ 🔗

    Ever wonder what changes when a yoga teacher finally feels confident bringing meaning into the room?

    In this episode, I sit down with longtime client Jodi Voegele—a yoga teacher who went from hesitant to heart-centered, and from wondering “Is this even good?” to hearing students reflect how much her teaching is resonating.

    Jodi’s journey is such a beautiful example of what happens when teachers stop planning their classes in isolation and start tapping into a framework, a community, and their own voice.

    In this episode, we chat about:

    🧘🏼‍♀️ The early moment in Mat to Mat that made Jodi feel “seen” for the first time
    🧠 What she used to think teaching beyond the pose meant—and how that definition has evolved
    📓 Why she used to second-guess every class plan she wrote (and what shifted that doubt)
    💡 The role my Breadcrumb Blueprint played in making themes click
    🗣️ How her students started noticing the difference in her teaching—and how it made her feel
    ⏱️ What used to take hours now happens with more clarity and flow
    👀 The surprising way she physically carries Inspired Flow Monthly into her classes
    🧍🏽‍♀️ Why this isn’t just about planning—it’s about identity, confidence, and how you see yourself as a teacher
