how to be more mindful with your money this holiday season

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 • Duration 30:07

Episode 42: Happy holidays, sweet soul! As the end-of-year busyness ramps up, so does the pressure to buy, to give, to do. But what if you could move through this season with more intention, less impulse, and a whole lot more alignment?

In this episode, we’re diving into mindful money spending: how to apply your yoga practice to your purchases. We’re exploring the ways you can use your dollars to support your community and make more impact. Instead of answering every Black Friday email or filling your cart simply because something is “on sale,” we explore how to pause, choose consciously, and redirect your energy (and money) toward what’s aligned with your values.

You’ll learn:

✨Why shopping small truly matters (and the real impact it has)

✨How I’m personally being more mindful with my own money

✨Simple shifts to avoid impulse-buying and practice presence

✨Ways to support my small biz, Talon J Yoga, and this podcast as I prepare for a winter season break

✨A little “homework” to help you start spending with clarity and care

This episode is your gentle reminder that yoga isn’t just something we do on our mat—it’s something we live. Every choice, every dollar, every action is part of your practice. Let this conversation guide you into a season of spending with intention and integrity.

💸 Ways to Support my Small Business 💸

intro to ayurveda with Tal: understanding your dosha, your energy, & your true balance

Tuesday, November 18, 2025 • Duration 50:56

Episode 41: In today’s deeply nourishing guest episode, I’m joined by Ayurvedic Women’s Hormone + Health Coach, yoga teacher, and retreat leader Tal (@Yogatationca) for a beautifully grounded introduction to Ayurveda — the 5,000-year-old science of life that teaches us how to live in alignment with our bodies, our energy, and the seasons around us.

If you’ve ever wondered “What is Ayurveda?”, “What’s my dosha?”, or “How do I actually stay balanced?” … this episode is your beginner-friendly, heart-centered roadmap.

Together, we talk about:

🌿 What Ayurveda really is (in a clear, practical, non-intimidating way)

🌿 The connection between yoga + Ayurveda as sister sciences

🌿 How the three doshas — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha — shape your natural energy

🌿 What balance and imbalance look like for each dosha

🌿 How your “primary” and “secondary” doshas work together

🌿 Daily and seasonal Ayurvedic practices you can start today

🌿 How to tune into your body, your cycle, and your current season of life

Tal also shares her personal healing journey — from hormonal imbalance to discovering Ayurveda as the missing piece — and the simple rituals that keep her grounded, calm, and aligned. This conversation is warm, wise, and full of “ah-ha” moments. If you’re craving more harmony, more energy, or a deeper understanding of yourself… start here!

✨Ayurveda always brings us back to balance — gently, intuitively, and one small step at a time.✨

what meditation really is (and isn’t)

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 28:23

Episode 32: If you’ve ever said, “I can’t meditate,” “My mind is too busy,” or “I just don’t have time,”—this one’s for you!

🧠✨ Let’s reframe meditation together—because your thoughts don’t define you, but they do shape your reality.

In this episode, we dive deep into the truth about meditation: what it is, what it’s not, and why it actually matters in the chaos of modern life. You’ll learn how meditation works, why 2 minutes a day truly does make a difference, and how to choose a practice that fits you—especially if you're neurodivergent or new to stillness.

We’ll unpack:

What meditation really is (and isn’t)
The 5 most common myths keeping you from getting started
The science-backed benefits of meditation (hello, reduced stress + improved focus)
Styles of meditation for different brains and seasons
How to start a sustainable practice, even with a packed schedule

Spoiler❗ You don’t need a Himalayan mountaintop or an hour of silence—just a few intentional moments and an open mind.

practicing discipline (tapas) in moderation

Tuesday, July 1, 2025 • Duration 26:36

Episode 31: In this episode, we’re talking about tapas — a Sanskrit word often translated as “discipline,” but with layers that go far beyond hustle and hard work. Tapas is the inner fire that fuels transformation, but it’s also the wisdom to know when to pause and reset.

Coming back from a soul-nourishing trip to Nantucket, I’m sharing what this ancient concept really means, how to practice consistent effort without spiraling into burnout, and why true discipline also requires balance, boundaries, and moderation.

Inside, you’ll hear:

🔥 The roots of tapas in yoga philosophy and its connection to heat, fire, and discipline

🌿 The balance of discipline in moderation (brahmacharya)

🧘‍♀️ Why slowing down is sometimes the most productive move you can make

📖 What my own burnout revealed — and how I’m resetting boundaries this season

💌 A special invite to join the Summer Slow Down Series (plus a limited-time discount!!)

Whether you’re feeling the pressure to keep pushing or craving a moment to breathe, this episode is your permission slip to honor both — the fire and the flow. Press play and let’s realign together.

a candid conversation—celebrations, seasonal shifts, and vulnerability in business

Tuesday, June 10, 2025 • Duration 27:00

Episode 30: This episode marks 30 (!!) episodes of From Mat to More — and in the spirit of that milestone, I’m doing things a little differently this week. Instead of teaching, I’m pulling back the curtain to share what’s been unfolding in my practices, both on and off the mat.

Join me for an honest, unscripted check-in as I:

Celebrate some BIG wins in my business (and personal life!)
Share the seasonal shifts I’m embodying right now in food, movement, and energy
Reflect on what it’s really like to show up online as a heart-led entrepreneur
Get vulnerable about visibility, reassurance, and the beautiful discomfort of growth

I also tell a funny story about a little mix-up I made on last week’s episode — a reminder that it’s okay to not be perfect and to simply laugh and move forward.

Whether you’re navigating a busy season, feeling the stretch of self-growth, or just need a moment of grounded human connection — this one’s for you. Tune in, take what resonates, and don’t forget to reach out and let me know if this episode landed. I love hearing from you!

sober curiosity & saucha: my alcohol-free journey

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • Duration 26:00

Episode 28: In this vulnerable episode, we dive into the growing sober curious movement and how it’s unfolding through the lens of yoga philosophy — specifically the Niyama of saucha (purity). I’m finally ready to share my own experience with alcohol, my decision to explore an alcohol-free lifestyle, and the spiritual shift I’ve discovered along the way.

We’ll explore:

The science and stats on how alcohol affects our physical body, sleep, and anxiety (hello, hangxiety)
My personal journey — from party nights in college to the spiritual shift that led me to 150+ days alcohol-free
How Saucha, the yogic path of purification, inspired this transformation and continues to guide me toward sattva — clarity, vitality, and inner peace

Whether you’re sober curious, reevaluating your relationship with alcohol, or just want to learn more about the intersection between modern wellness and ancient yoga wisdom, this episode is here to support your journey with honesty, compassion, and a Shirley Temple in hand 🧃

moving into mindfulness: turning asana (and life) into meditation

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 • Duration 18:46

Episode 27: Spring might pull us off the mat and into the garden, but that doesn’t mean we stop practicing yoga. In this episode, we explore how to approach asana on your mat as a moving meditation—and how to carry that same awareness into everything you do off your mat. From brushing your teeth to walking the dog, every moment becomes an invitation to return to presence.

Rooted in the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras, including Sutra 1.2—“Yogas chitta vritti nirodhah”—we’ll reflect on what it means to truly quiet the fluctuations of the mind, not just in stillness, but in motion. I’ll guide you through tangible ways to turn your everyday routines into meditative practices and share personal stories of using mindfulness to shift a tough day into one full of intention and grace.

Whether you’re on your mat or in the middle of your morning dishes, this episode is here to help you live yoga, everywhere!

🎧 Tune in to remember: Your whole life is the practice.
