Introducing Full Time Flow

Transcript

Hello and welcome to episode 1 of Full Time Flow! I'm Cheryl, I'm your host, and I'm doing a video for this first episode. It won’t be a video every single time, but I wanted to introduce myself, give you a little background about my story about where I'm coming from, and also why I created Full Time Flow and what you can expect. I became a yoga teacher in 2020 during the pandemic. I did my yoga teacher training completely online, and I was going through it during the pandemic. Questioning what am I doing, what is my purpose?

I was unfulfilled in my job, and I was like, I need to do something. I have all this time. Let me invest it into something else. So I completed my 200 hour teacher training and just jumped in and started teaching yoga. I started teaching part time while working in a full time 9 to 5 job.

And then fast forward to January 2024, I decided to quit my high stress 9 to 5 job and pursue teaching yoga full time. I was feeling so unfulfilled in my 9 to 5 job. It was not aligned with what I wanted to be doing. I had made it by a lot of different ways to measure that. I had climbed the corporate ladder.

I was managing a team. I was responsible for a lot, and I got paid quite well for that work, but I didn't feel good doing it. I was feeling drained. I was burnt out. I was working probably 60 hours a week, and I was like, I can't keep doing this.

My health is going to suffer, My life is going to suffer, and something needs to give. So I was at a breaking point of having a toxic work environment and thinking through what are my options. And I don't really recommend tackling the way I did, which was just kind of quit my full time job without having really a plan whatsoever, other than I knew I didn't wanna be in that job anymore. So many lessons learned in this experience and I really can't wait to share all of them with you. And that's ultimately why I created Full Time Flow.

I wanted a place that I could share my experience, what I've learned, my failures, my successes. I have all of this knowledge from going through this transition and I know it can be helpful for other people. I know lots of people share my dream of becoming a financially independent full time yoga teacher, and I'm here to share what that looks like along the journey.

So full time flow is a way for you to get a little bit more into the behind the scenes of what's challenging, what's working, where am I finding success, and where am I finding a lot of challenges. If you are looking for something that is super motivational and uplifting and anyone can do it and you just gotta have the right mindset and right positive thinking into creating a successful career, this might not be for you. Because I'm going to be sharing both things that are great and positive and motivating, but I'm also going to be sharing the things that are hard and challenging and the parts that you don't always see on social media or shared openly. It's going be very vulnerable. It's going to be real. And so if that's something that you are excited about, you're in the right place.

If you would like to introduce yourself, reply back to the email that you initially got for me and let me know more about you. I want to learn where you are in your teaching journey and what topics are you most excited to learn about. There's so many and I have lots of ideas. So I'm trying to whittle it down so that it is digestible and that it is the stuff that you care about most.

And this resource is completely free. So I'm not charging any sort of money for this information because, honestly, I don't have the career that I am looking for yet. I'm not there yet. I'm still building towards the career that I want, and I know lots of you are in the same place. I'm not pretending that I have it all figured out because I don't. I've already made lots of mistakes and I'm sure I'll make more mistakes moving forward. But that's why I'm so excited to share this journey with you.

Thank you so much for joining, and I will see you next time.
