In this episode of the Inspire Create Manifest podcast, Joe sits down with sisters Karen Hepp and Lizzie Lange, founders of Pure Pony Yoga, to explore how they turned a simple idea into a thriving beach yoga community in Stone Harbor.

Karen, a journalist, and Lizzie, a corporate lawyer, share how yoga has supported them through high-stress careers, how they navigated burnout, and what it really takes to build something sustainable without losing the joy that inspired it in the first place.

From navigating town permits and paperwork to expanding into a 7-day-a-week beach offering, this conversation dives into entrepreneurship without hustle culture, trusting your complementary strengths, taking initiative, and leaning into awe instead of exhaustion.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s another way to build something meaningful without burning out, this episode is your proof.
