The Dharma Collective Podcast

Creating this podcast has allowed us to spotlight some of the most influential people in our lives and that’s really something special. This episode was such an honor to create since Dustin is not only Cass’ brother but is single-handedly the most passionate person we both know. Since he was young, Dustin has always let passion lead his life even when the going got tough. Dustin is an accomplished oil painter, teacher, and spiritual guide who is always down to have a meaningful conversation. In this episode, we dive deep into the reasons why it’s so important to live a life of passion and fulfillment and the simple ways in which you impact those around you, just by being your authentic self.

Today, we’re bringing you a conversation with two of our best buds: Emmy and Lee Singer of Inner Light Yoga Nashville. They inspire us as a couple who weave through the daily hurdles of running a business together, and have amazing insights on what it means to follow your dreams - even when it’s not so easy.

In this episode you’ll learn:

Emmy and Lee’s story of how they conceived Inner Light Yoga and how their vision has evolved.

The importance of being open and adaptable to the evolution of your dream.

About connecting to the feelings that push or pull you towards a life you want.

The greater mission of ILY and how it’s based in acceptance of people as they are and the power of music.

Running a business together as a couple is not always sunshine and rainbows - it’s important to have patience and understand your strengths, roles, boundaries and priorities.

How fear will always be with you in the journey of life, but it’s up to you to decide if it’s driving or riding in the backseat.

We wanted to provide a bit of an update on our #vanlife adventure, and provide some answers to the burning questions we get asked all the time during our life on the road. In this episode, we shoot each other hard hitting questions - “crossfire” style - and open up about the two-plus months we’ve spent in our new lifestyle.

In this episode you’ll learn:

How we’re faring as a couple - spoiler alert: HORRIBLY!! jk, jk.

What it’s like living on the road and in such a small space

The eye-opening experiences and mindset shifts we’ve had during our travels

Our relationship with time regarding how we balance being present for the experience of seeing beautiful places and how we stay ‘connected’ for our work.

That we are huge nerds for natural sciences and learning about the natural world around us

In this continuation of our “Dharma Talk” series, we dive into our tagline: Follow Your Passion, Find Your Purpose. It’s our belief that fulfillment comes from using your gifts to serve others, and this mantra is a nice reminder that when you’re living a passionate life, you inherently feel more purpose and drive towards joy and contentment.

Today, we’re coming to you from the van! We’re super excited to share our first podcast recorded inside the dharma mobile. In this episode, we tackled the concept of change and why it’s so freakin’ important. Change can be a difficult subject for a lot of people, so we dove into why people fear change, the importance of being open to it in your life, and how change really is the only constant.
