Ep19 Finding Yourself & Success Redefined w/Linh Taylor, L.Ac.

This casual conversation with Linh Taylor is exactly the conversation I dreamt of having when Yinspired was created. Linh and I had never met before, and when we hung up, it felt like I had known Linh for lifetimes. Our shared love for Chinese Medicine, the philosophy of Yin and Yang, and navigating healing journeys in cultures and systems not built for us created a natural bridge between our differences, showing how ancient wisdom can unite diverse perspectives and stories in modern times.Like a winding conversation on a road trip, we explore the topics of redefining success, challenging beauty standards, simplicity and fulfillment, healing through Yoga, practice management wisdom through the lens of service and community, and provider collaboration as a model of integrative medicine.If you like this episode, please remember to share it with someone who would also enjoy it.Also, please make sure to check out the Show Notes & Shoutouts section at Yinspired.substack.com/podcast, including a listener-only 20% code with Carolyn.Do you have something to add to this conversation? Leave your kind comments, questions, and keep the conversation going at Yinspired.substack.com/podcast.
