Founder and co-owner of one of the *hottest* spots in Charlotte- Khali Yoga Center- Lindsey Crisp transcends traditional perspectives in this heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation.

We discuss how fortune favors the bold and how that belief carried Lindsey and her team through the opening of Khali on the cusp of a global pandemic.

Lindsey shares wisdom garnered through decades of practicing one of the most ancient forms of embodied presence, including how to live with intention in your gifts and, of course, discover your purpose.

I hope you enjoy this impactful, slightly woo-woo conversation. And if you're ever in the Charlotte area, you are able to experience the magic Lindsey and the other wonderful people at Khali Yoga Center have created.

In this episode, you’ll meet Claire Smallwood- an absolute delight of a human who co-founded SheJumps. This 501c3 organization empowers and supports women and girls to enjoy the outdoors through hosted events, educational clinics, and fundraising climbs.

We cover a wide range of topics from the budding origins of SheJumps to her studies of language in Senegal and her competitive success in free skiing

Claire shares How SheJumps transitioned from a website that profiled and showcased unsung women heroes in the outdoor industry to the life-changing organization it is today.

During the building period, Claire earned her living as a private chef. And then came the pivot: creating a film that catapulted the nonprofit from a grassroots effort to a full-time gig for Claire & her co-founders, with the nonprofit experiencing a 200% growth in just one year.

Claire talks about imposter syndrome, building the right board for the foundation, and chasing a dream that would inevitably provide access to the beautiful backyards of the world to thousands of women and girls every year.
