Following with Tracy Rhinehart

Creative Flow is defined by feelings of joy, ease, and pleasure—and that infectious enthusiasm was the exact energy in my conversation with Regina Loiko. Regina is a true multi-hyphenate: a team development coach/consultant, a children's book author, a yoga student, and a home baker who gives the British baking champions a run for their money! During our conversation, we looked at creativity both in the rearview mirror of life's journey and in the dreamscape of tomorrow. Tune in to snag some valuable life tips, as Regina’s passion for creative living is truly inspiring. You can connect with Regina at rfish08@yahoo.com And do keep your eyes on Studio 108 social for news of her book release. @studio108_bodymindsoul

Sometimes you sit and talk to with someone familiar and discover them anew - only to feel that you've known them forever! For me, this was that conversation and Michelle Falcone is that gal. We scheduled the chat to share information about Michelle's upcoming meditation offerings at The Light. And we discovered many connections and commonalities. Michelle is an energy worker and psychic medium. In this episode, she shares her experiences as an empath, her journey to mediumship and her signature meditation offering: Crystal Frequency Activation. This is a timely offering as so many are feeling awakened and activated - or at least curious - about the inner energetic workings of being human. So take a listen and join Michelle for a inspiring experiences as a part of your session in the Energy Enhancement System at The Light Wisdom and Wellness. Connect with Michelle and/or register for a session at The Light Wisdom and Wellness www.thelightwisdomandwellness.com For private sessions with Michelle, visit her site at https://come-home-to-your-heart.square.site/

Perhaps you remember a time when "what's your sign?" was nothing more than a joke. And perhaps you've explored enough to discover that knowing your sun sign, moon sign + rising sign is helpful information for navigating the complexities of life. Or perhaps you're somewhere in between.... In any case, this conversation is likely to stretch both your mind and your heart. For when we pull back far enough, we are able to see that we - 'humanity' - are a part of a earthly experience as well as a universal experience as well as a GALACTIC experience. It's just an expanded view. A shift in perspective, if you will. And my guide in this little mind-stretching, heart-opening exercise is Caitlin Pendolino. Caitlin is a Galactic Astrologer. She reads the skies - astrology charts, actually - for alignments and relationships between us/humanity and the big picture/galaxy. Why? Because she can provide insightful and helpful information for navigating the complexities of life. And she does! Take a listen. And if you'd like a reading for yourself, reach out to Caitlin. Caitlin recommends: Julie Balaz Lyssa Royal Holt Ken Kennedy Barbara Hand Clow www.galacticastrochart.com Caitlin is at Bear Soul in Lakewood for mini readings called Astrology Looks Her YouTube podcast is Heart to Heart Astrology

Sometimes you meet someone and you just know in that instant: They are true blue goodness. Christie Murdoch strikes a lot of people that way. She's an artist, a fashion designer, an entrepreneur and small business owner - and she does it all with a huge heart for community, sustainability and social responsibility. She's a friend to many AND she practices here at Studio 108! In this conversation, Christie shares her story and her next-step initiatives. You'll hear a few thoughts to inspire you. And I think you'll get smart ideas of how this business owner honors her personal values within the framework of commercial success. And do make a stop at Banyan Tree on Professor Ave in Tremont - great clothes + great community connections! IG: @shopbanyantree. www.shopbanyantree.com

We're going out into the deep water here. Grab your noodle if you must. Microdosing is a conversation that I've been following for a few years now. And you know how I follow: with a great deal curiosity and - in this case - a healthy dose of caution. So when my friend Nata (remember her from the She Who Rises breath work + cacao events?) said that she supports folks in microdosing experiences, I heard her and I scheduled a talk. I asked a lot of questions and poked around for greater understanding about how she works and where she is guiding folks. I was curious. If you're curious too, then listen in. See what you think. Nata will lead an informative workshop on the topic of microdosing on September 22nd. It's a virtual event - you can watch from home. And yes, it will be recorded for those who prefer the replay. You'll need to register to get the link. And follow Nata on IG @nata_jalenic Find her resources at And register for her upcoming event Microdosing a New Reality at www.studio108.net

You don't get better life-talk than when you sit with Abby Dosen. Abby is teacher, a mother, a published author and the leader of Studio 108's book club. But the beauty of our conversations is not from these roles + responsibilities.... The goodness of our conversations is a result of Abby's intentionality. Abby lives intentionally - not perfectly but certainly intentionally. And that is makes for a rich conversation. In this conversation, Abby shares her experiences since publishing her book: Realistic Self-Care for Moms: A Guided Journal for Taking Care of You While Taking Care Them. I think you'll find some good insight for life + motherhood. I think you'll find a friend in Abby! Find Abby: @adosenbooks Buy Abby's book on Amazon or off the shelf at Studio 108.

I remember when Mike Boyes first came to Studio 108 to practice Kundalini Yoga.... We were in the front room. Yup! This was prior to those pilates reformers! It was sunny hot on the windows and Mike sat to my right. His presence was confident + steady. His gaze didn't waiver. After class, we talked about the practice. He shared that he had just finished teacher training and was looking forward to finding a studio home. By the end of the conversation, I said what I always say: "It happens in your daily practice. I practice every day." He looked me straight in the eyes. And then he showed. Every week. AND he committed to his daily personal practice - every day - to this day. And THAT is why Mike is a great teacher. He's been teaching our Sunday morning class since 2022. He's taught at studios and schools throughout the city. And he's at Edgewater Park every Friday night for a community class. His gong game is second to none. You should 100% check out his offerings. Anyway - in this conversation, we just chat it all up!

Welp, it's been 7+ months of John Bowden + Foundation Training at Studio 108. And I've gotta say: We are seeing RESULTS! I sat with John to hash over the why's and how's and what's and where's. It's a super casual and very enthusiastic conversation about all things Foundation Training. And a perfect conversation for those who experience pain in their bodies - perhaps from other physical activities and requirements. Take a listen to hear what you might expect from this reparative and healthful movement practice.

When it comes to health + nutrition, one of the most informed people I know is Studio 108's very own Leah Rachelle. Leah teaches fitness, yoga + pilates reformer. She is a clinical counselor and a functional medicine health coach. She has studied herbalism + grows herbs locally at Oxbow Orchard. And while Leah is quick to point out that she doesn't know everything, she does have a lot to teach me. And in today's conversation, I snagged some new vocabulary and a few solutions for enhanced well being. And, I learned about the new elixirs that she has out on the shelves: Leah's Radical Root Elixir is an OXYMEL. (First new vocabulary word!) And the herbs Leah added to this powerful tonic offer a plethora of health benefits. (More new vocabulary words!!) Take a listen and then get on into the studio to snag one of these precious bottles of Mother Nature's LOVE! Follow Leah: @leahrachellehealth Find Leah: www.studio108.net Thanks for FOLLOWING!

At Studio 108, we appreciate the multidimensional aspects of the human. Which is just a fancy way of saying: We're all about body, mind and soul as a connected holistic experience. Today Kaley Tocco and I sit to chat about that mind-body-soul connection and how Thai Massage, Reiki and Access Bars are utilized to support folks in healing and growing and learning and being. If you practice yoga with us, you might know Kaley from her yin class on Monday night. It's a studio fave. She also teaches slow burn yoga, warm gentle yoga + restorative yoga. But beyond that, Kaley is also a very powerful energy healer with a gift for moving energy through the human form. She explains how she creates space, restores connection and opens up flow. You'll probably feel better just listening to her but I highly recommend booking an appointment! Hope you enjoy. And thanks for Following Follow Kaley at @enchanted_ethers Book through the Studio 108 website: www.studio108.net

In my neighborhood, the seasonal shift into spring means mulch around the trees and hanging baskets by the front door. But at Oxbow Orchard, there's a whole lotta farm to get organized. So our local urban farmers Beth Lomske and Kyla Werlin are very busy birthing baby sheep, nurturing seedlings - both vegetable and flower - planning community events and preparing the marketing for a summer of fresh, local fares. And I don't know that I can adequately explain how incredible it feels to stand at Oxbow Orchard with the sheep and turkeys and tomatoes and basil and honey and just the nicest people when I'm but a short mile from the industrialism and commercialism that defines the neighborhoods in which I live and work. But I'm chatting with Beth today to create a picture and to tell a story so that you'll be inspired to drive from your neighborhood to their farm paradise and check it out for yourself. So please take a listen and then make a point of coming down to the farm this summer. Procrastinate no longer. It's an incredible feeling. I think you'll leave feeling really good. The Market is open Thursday to Sunday from Noon to 7pm. The May Day Event is May 24th. And the social + website will list the full season of events.

After 23 years of service, one can liken Jog into Spring to Opening Day here in Independence! It's an event born of heart + soul as a gift. A gift in memory of a local mother + teacher in support of local students - some of whom practice here at Studio 108. AND, you get to RUN!! Ashley and Breanna Roche sit with me today to tell the story of their mother and their family's non-profit organization that has organized this event - rain or shine - and mostly rain - for the past many years. The weather this year looks iffy but the love at this event is a sure thing! PS All who sign up to run with the studio receive a studio tank top. Please sign up for both the run AND the studio event via these two links: https://runsignup.com/Race/OH/Independence/JogIntoSpring www.studio108.net/community-events

The Light Wisdom and Wellness in Brecksville OH is home to a state-of-the-art Energy Enhancement System. Our 24 unit system maintains a bio photonic and scalar wave (Tesla energy) field. This high frequency environment prompts the body to detoxify and provides a full body cellular charge. Resting comfortably in a chair, you will experience deep relaxation (aka down regulation of the nervous system). It's in this state of relaxation that the body engages in its natural healing processes. We are built to heal - the EESystem creates + maintains the most optimal + the most powerful environment in which that can happen. Not many have heard of this technology - or they have heard of it being used in small bite ways such as red light face masks or scalar infused water. But at The Light, there are many who have tried the EESystem and have experienced inspiring and hopeful results. After witnessing these results over the last year and a half, Dolores Alquist and I are thrilled to develop partnerships and creative innovative ways for folks to benefit from the EESystem. Today we sat down to share some of our stories along with some updates. And I think you'll hear it from us quite clearly: We want to help the world heal - and that means you! Take a listen + if you're curious, reach out. We have tons of info on our website: www.thelightwisdomandwellnesss.com And - did I mention? - your first visit is free! @TheLightWisdomandWellness IG: @thelightwisdomandwellness.

You might chuckle when you here the Studio 108 Book Club mantra: "Just come: You don't have read the book!" But once you sit in circle with Book Club leader and published author Abby Dosen, you'll feel the welcoming and caring presence of a good friend. And you'll be glad you came! Abby Dosen has practiced at the studio for a couple of years now. Like many, she appreciates the personal time on her mat to support her in being her best self as she and her husband raise their three little girls. She appreciates how challenging it to care for oneself while caring for a family....how easy it is to put off self-care.... So, after intentional thought, practice and research, Abby decided to create what she needed and share it with the world. Her book "Self-Care for Moms: A Guided Journal" will be on the shelves in March 2025. (That's not too far away!) This conversation is just as I've said: A welcoming and caring conversation with a good friend. Take a listen...

Most women will admit that despite riding the waves of their hormones on a monthly, or even a daily basis, they know little about the health of their endocrine system. (Yes. Your hormones are produced + regulated by your endocrine system.) Since our hormone health is cyclical across a month and across a lifetime, I remain a humble student. And I'm very grateful that Leah Rachelle is willing to sit down for a second discussion of the topic. In this chat, Leah shares an overview of the topics she is planning on covering in her upcoming Health Coaching Group on Women's Hormone Health. Of course, she sprinkles in some tips + ideas. But I think most helpful is the opportunity to hear Leah's perspective on working with our lifestyle, diet + care for optimal health + well-being. I think you'll feel safe + supported in this conversation. Take a listen. And if you're interested in the group sessions, they start January 12th. Register at www.studio108.net You can DM Leah directly at @leahrachellehealth or email lmarkowitz20@gmail.com.

Actually, I haven't known Tom very long but he's the kind of guy that makes me curious. He's got a personal presence about him. Grounded. Calm. Wise. So I've been curious. I mean, he practices Kundalini Yoga. So there's that! But it was when Tom started leading Somatic Breath Work sessions at The Light: Wisdom and Wellness that I could truly see the fullness of who he is. And I knew I had to sit with him for a podcast conversation. I think you'll like it. It's real + raw - as in: real life interrupts us (twice) and we just keep going! But it's also real + raw as we talk about Tom's background and life story. He generously shares his experiences and his thoughts. And, yeah, he generously shares a ton of information about the power + the necessity of healthy breathing. After all, the breath IS the bridge to our happiest and most optimal self.
