39: Balancing Family and Yoga: Kelly Smith on Turning 'No' into Growth and Building a Location-Independent Career

In this episode of the Full-Time Yoga Teacher Podcast, I sit down with Kelly Smith, a global yoga and meditation teacher, author, and host of the chart-topping podcasts Mindful in Minutes and Meditation Mama. Kelly shares her inspiring journey of building a successful, location-independent yoga business long before online classes and yoga podcasts became the norm. We dive deep into her approach to creating opportunities and navigating rejection, where she emphasizes the importance of persistence and being told "no" on the path to success. Kelly also opens up about how she balances her thriving yoga career with family life, raising two children while remaining a full-time teacher. Whether you're a yoga teacher, entrepreneur, or simply curious about balancing passion with family, this conversation is packed with insights and inspiration!
