She is such a badass and a truly poetic speaker. I have no doubt you’ll be hanging on her every word.
In this episode, we chat about what it was like to start an anonymous blog about sexuality with 40,000 readers back in the day, and how it wound up costing her a big role in her career, her decision to go all in on embodiment work, sexuality, and her idea to create a safe space for women to reconnect with their bodies, what it looked like for Back to the Body to be birthed into the world without a business plan - and the incredible growth that happened almost immediately, how she built a 7-figure business with retreats as the core source of revenue and how she’s planning to scale beyond that, and so much more!

Manu is a yogi, mover and teacher obsessed with the mind-body connection.  Her mission is to birth practices that heal emotional wounding, and reconnect you back with your native body- the one that’s free, connected, and flexible.
She’s been practicing yoga for 11 years, trained in India and all over Europe, and learned from some of the most brilliant physiotherapists and meditation teachers out there.
She combines movement science and ground-breaking research into the science of emotions, and offers it in simple practical terms as healing movement to all her students.
Her yoga style combines trauma healing somatics, zen Buddhism, but also biomechanics, and physiotherapy, because she believes there is a bigger picture we’ve been missing in our movement. The body and the mind are one, and only by tending to both can we truly heal.
As you’ll hear, Manu is a wealth of wisdom around building a digital product-based business. That and she is the most beautiful soul, leading her work with so much integrity and heart. I know you’ll adore her as much as I do.
In this episode, we chat about the remote job she got right out of college that allowed her to live on an island in Spain and teach yoga and meditation for free in her spare time, why working at a startup taught her all about marketing and online courses and ultimately inspired her to launch her first course just 3 years ago, the multiple digital products that flopped, and what she did to learn more about her audience and create something they wanted to buy, the launch of her most popular course, Hips Like Honey, the problem it solved for her ideal buyers, and why it turned into a great success, how she found her rhythm with social media and figured out what her audience engages with the most - and why that’s so crucial to anyone’s success on IG and beyond, and so much more!

Elena Box is a radiant soul who brings a unique blend of sacred and silly to her work as a shamanic practitioner, a path she embraced following the passing of her father from brain cancer in 2016.
With over a decade of experience as a yoga teacher, she seamlessly weaves ancient rituals and spiritual wisdom into her practice. In one hand, she honors the sacred, connecting with the divine and invoking the energies of ancestors for profound healing. In the other, she cradles the silly, understanding the importance of joy and laughter in our human journey.
Elena, also an author of "Grieve Outside the Box" and the host of "The Ode to Joy Podcast," intricately balances the profound and playful, reminding us that healing is a tapestry of both depth and delight.
As you’ll hear, Elena and I have known each other since 2018 when she did my Your Wellness Brand Program and I’ve been following along on her journey ever since.
I’m so excited for you to experience her - and hear how she’s made her work a successful and sacred pursuit.
In this episode, we chat about what drew her to becoming an actor and performer at a young age, and how she’s integrated these skills into a variety of professional endeavors from politics to comedy, the impact her father’s brain cancer diagnosis and eventual death had on her in her 20’s, and how this experience turned on her intuitive gifts and inspired her to study shamanism, her journey to weaving together everything she had to offer as a Shaman, Death Doula, Reiki Practitioner, Comedian, Yoga Teacher, and performer and her “weirdness” into a cohesive brand, her choice to go all in on supporting people in their grieving process and the incredibly unique and unconventional approach she takes to this very tender and nuanced life experience, why she has leaned heavily into grassroots, old school marketing and building community to create her client base and what she’s been doing as of late to build awareness about her brand, her book, and her podcast, and so much more!

If you’ve ever had the thought…
“I can’t help anyone until I’m an absolute master at what I do.” Or “I have to be perfect in order to help people.”
If yes, this episode is for you.
Inside you’ll receive a 5-minute pep talk about why this idea is absolutely false and what belief you can embrace instead.
The truth is, it’s so easy to let perfectionism hold us back from the real training ground - real experience with clients.
I hope it inspires you to get in action so you can get better and better at what you do.
Afterall, isn’t that why you’re here?
