TYF457- Life Update: Processing Grief and Loneliness

In this heartfelt episode, Erin shares a powerful reflection following a recent art therapy session that opened up deep emotions around grief from a past relationship. Though originally planning to discuss yoga retreats, Erin instead invites listeners into a raw and vulnerable space of emotional processing.

She explores how EMDR-inspired techniques helped uncover a poignant memory with her ex-partner—one she chose not to erase, honoring the beauty within the pain. Erin candidly discusses themes of loneliness, healing, and the rediscovery of self through yoga, creative movement, and music.

As a coach and mental wellness advocate, Erin emphasizes the importance of therapy, accountability, and emotional expression. This episode is a reminder of the strength in vulnerability and the transformative power of embracing our full emotional spectrum.

Stay tuned for the next episode, where we return to the topic of yoga retreats. Until then, may you honor your feelings and find beauty in your own healing journey.

TYF455- From Punk to Monk: Interview with Raghunath Ray Cappo Part 2

Would you like to hear a story that truly inspires?

For all the yogis who feel like they don’t quite fit in or think they have to shed their past to embrace spirituality—this one’s for you.

🌀 Erin interviews Raghunath Ray Cappo for the first time, and what an inspiration he is!

From New York’s hardcore punk scene to the heart of Vedic teachings, Raghunath shares why you don’t have to change your essence—just refine it. Spirituality isn’t about swapping identities but using who you already are to elevate your consciousness.

From leading hardcore punk bands like Youth of Today to guiding global retreats and hosting the Wisdom of the Sages podcast, Raghunath shares how contrasting worlds collide and enrich his life.

In this Part 2 episode of the 2 part series, 

TYF454- From Punk to Monk: Interview with Raghunath Ray Cappo Part 1

Some stories are so powerful, they change the way we see the world. This is one of them.

In this episode of Thrive Yoga Fit Transformational Coaching, I have the absolute honor of sitting down with Raghunath Ray Cappo—a man who has lived at the edges of intensity, from the raw energy of punk rock to the deep devotion of Bhakti Yoga.

Once the frontman of Youth of Today and Shelter, Raghunath lived and breathed the chaos of the punk scene before walking away from it all to immerse himself in a world of devotion, discipline, and spiritual awakening. He spent six and a half years as a monk in an ashram, and now, years later, he teaches others how to integrate ancient wisdom into everyday life.

✨ In this conversation, we dive into:

💥 How punk rock and Bhakti Yoga are more connected than you’d think
🎶 The electrifying energy of Kirtan—like a mosh pit, but infused with love
🌍 His sacred journey through India—Rishikesh, Mayapur, Jaipur—where devotion pulses through the streets
🥋 The surprising connection between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and spirituality
💡 The magic of living with both structure and spontaneity

Hearing Raghunath speak is like sitting around a fire, listening to a traveler who has walked the long road and returned with wisdom. His story is living proof that transformation is not just possible—it’s inevitable when we surrender to something greater.

This is just Part 1 of our conversation, and trust me, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next.

If you’re willing to do the work this book will change your life.

I bought this book after attending a retreat with the author Erin at Anna Maria Island in Florida. I am a certified law of attraction coach and yoga instructor.

This is more than just a book it’s entire program to help you in your healing journey. It is real it is raw and so insightful. Erin is the real deal. She’s been through the trenches she gets right in there with you and helps you to find your own answers within. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to delve deeper into their own self discovery and learn to live a thriving life. Thank you Erin for this amazing program 🙏

This book changes lives!!!!

Bought for a friend and he says: “I am in recovery and I loved this book. So much that hit me in the first 10 pages. It’s validating to see the feelings I have that are fairly secretive- also shared by the author. Highly recommend this to anyone in recovery- no matter what stage.”

JD Grateful

So profound and relatable!

Amazing book! I am only 30 pages in, but I already love it!
