0:00.0	do not sacrifice the quality of your current life so that you can pursue this dream,
0:09.0	especially because you said you have a baby. I have given this advice to so many women over
0:14.9	the years, but if you haven't heard me say it, there are a lot of ways to pay your bills and pursue
0:20.6	something that lights your heart up.
0:22.7	But if you put yourself into financial straits in order to chase the dream and you have
0:31.3	people who are counting on you and you have real life responsibilities, you will be so depleted by the stress of that decision that it
0:40.7	will augment the joy you have in pursuing the dream. So you'll actually shoot yourself in the foot.
0:46.9	Don't do that. But let's figure out how you can aspire to get to the place where you do make a
0:53.4	living as a yoga instructor. And therefore,
0:55.8	my question is, what does that look like for you?
1:04.4	Hey guys, it's Rach. Welcome to the show. I'm so glad that you're here with us today. And I have a

1:39.6	and then you hate this show, just unsubscribe. It's one click away. In the meantime, if you're listening,
1:46.3	we would so appreciate it if you would just tap that button and make it official.
2:03.7	Hi guys, it's Rach.
2:09.4	Welcome to another episode of the show and a new edition in the AskRache series.
2:16.2	This is where y'all call in to our hotline and you leave me a voicemail and you ask me a question.
2:20.2	And then I answer it. I know. High concept.
2:26.7	Crazy. I never review the questions in advance. So when you are hearing the question for the first time, I am also hearing it for the first time, which means my answers are very much in the moment
