Empaths of the world – you may have seen, or felt, this one coming.

The truth is that empathy means deeply caring for everyone and everything, but the answer in maintaining, even thriving, amidst all of that input is to focus on self. Self-c...

537. Friendship Breakups: How to Deal + How to Heal

It’s a touchy topic that’s been in the zeitgeist for the last couple of years – either spurred by our general societal upheaval and the change it’s bringing about within people, something less, or something even more – friend break ups are sometimes a part of life. And they can be even more painful than breaking things off in a romantic relationship. There’s often more time invested and thus, more depth. More experience and trust.

533. Exploring the Feminine Experience and its Relationship to Capitalism, Feminism, and Burnout

We are completely burning ourselves out – full stop. In this stream-of-consciousness solo episode, Krista delves into her perceptions of our current reality, specifically, that related to the deepening bond between capitalism and modern feminism.

524. The Gift of Being in a Body + How To Tune In

It is what it is, right? But, that’s not a mindset that comes easily – or quickly. For many of us, our teens and twenties are filled with changing – wanting to change, feeling pressures to change.

Lindsey sits down for this deeply personal solo episode to walk listeners through her own body attunement journey, from watching herself in hom...

520. Sexuality: Coming Home to Your Body and Womb

Sex is a powerful energetic force, so how can we get to a place where we are approaching it from a spiritual, elevated place? Tiffany Janay is a sought after motivational speaker, sacred sexuality educator, women's empowerment guide, and the owner o...

Self-reflection isn’t easy. When it comes to doing the hard work, sometimes we’re drawn to looking for easy answers outside of ourselves, pushing us further from the answers that we already hold within.
