This week we are talking a lot about un-doing labels and categorization so that we can go beyond the binary into the ever-evolving space that is the essence of life. We discuss the inspirational work of Alok Vaid-Menon. We also talk about the power of holding opposites in all situations, and how intentionally leaving space for creation creates a gateway for who we are going to be next.
We've invented a term for when a person gets preoccupied by trying to "fix" themselves! We stumbled on this idea when reviewing one of our very first podcasts on insecurity. This week, we discuss that whatever we want to “fix” actually points us to the parts that are asking to be loved. The “fixness” itself can be an avoidance of intimacy. So, instead of trying to “fix” can we bring empathy and unconditional self-love into this moment?
This week is all about the Form and Formless. Matter and Spirit. What comes first. Why that scares us. Where we put our trust. Kristin lets us into her next adventure, while Natalie shares the process of how she "created" her romance.
This week we are talking about our relationships: romantic, artistic, business, and friendships. We discuss the power we each have in our perception to either raise up or to create separation. As there is so much division in the world, how do we not make an "other" and how can we use conflict or difference as an opportunity to take personal responsibility? Where are triggers in a relationship an indication that there is some shadow work to be done?
Hahaha! Nope, we're not giving a sermon this week! We are actually sharing the adventures of our weekend trip to Austin, Texas. Hear all about our inside jokes, our two-step dancing, and how all of life was communicating with us in a myriad of different ways. Picture recommendations - Could be pictures of travel? Or a picture of cowboy boots dancing? A taco truck? Maybe a road map?
This week we talk about what is emerging through us — as individuals and as a collective. We talk about how our values get shaped in this creative process called life. Then we dig into thoughts on how the universe is reflecting back to us what is inside of us and how that helps us to grow!
This week we are talking about how we've noticed that there seems to be "fear" in the air. Or, another way of saying it, is you can feel the collective anxiety of the human condition coming up to be felt. This is actually positive movement, because we are going from a place of "repressed fear" to "expressed fear" as part of the releasing and transmuting process. This week, we talk about how this is happening in individuals as it occurs at the same time inside the larger collective.
Have you ever noticed that there's always something in your life, your art, your relationships, or your career that you're just not satisfied with? That it's never all "done." That you always find yourself reaching for something. Well, what if the Discontent has a purpose? What if the gap or distance actually creates room for Life to demonstrate itself to us? What is the job isn't to get rid of that space, but to change our relationship with it? This week, we talk about all of that, and we never...
Is it the voice of your intuition that you hear? Is it the voice of your fears? How can we tell the difference? What do we do with the ever present duality that is always in us? Where are we looking for direction? Do we value outer authority over inner authority? We are back after a little break and here are just a few of the questions that we are asking ourselves this week!
Where is the clutter in your life? Is it in your home, your inbox, or in your relationships, or your emotions? This week, we are talking to lifestyle designer, trained coach, and best-selling author Kerri Richardson about what our clutter is trying to tell us, and how we can move what we "don't want" out of the way to live a life in alignment with our dreams.

This podcast also could have been called, "The Surprise Podcast" as Natalie surprises Kristin with the podcast topic this week! Natalie goes deep into a download that she received on "overcoming," which leads to a conversation about trusting our innate value, and ultimately, "the choiceless choice of presence."
Since we are in the middle of a global pandemic and it isn't easy to travel like it once was, Natalie & I thought we’d bring you a podcast from one of our favorite Paris adventures! The interesting thing about travel is how we can allow ourselves to let go and meet the unexpected. We let ourselves be led by our curiosity and joy. Those energies are always inside us, and they always want to lead us somewhere… When we listen to them, we are listening from an embodied place, deeper than the min...

You know how every story has a villain? Darth Vader, Voldemort, or Miss Hannigan… the list of these delicious antagonists goes on and on. But why do we love them in our stories? Because, truth be told, we need them in our lives. Opposing forces are essential to our growth. Stories aren’t just uninteresting without conflict. They actually lack the essential building blocks that a hero (or heroine) needs in order to know themselves. So what does this tell us about our lives? And how does the way w...
“As above, so below.” Mystics have talked for centuries about living in between two worlds. One might look at it as the world of spirit, and the world of form. Or see the world of love, and the world of ego. And yet, the question seems, “how do we create unity among opposites?” Can we love both parts equally as part of a deeper unity? This week we are talking about non-duality and oneness even amidst the inherent separation that we find. How do we see all as parts of a necessary whole?
When Life brings us to a place we’ve never been before, there can be a tendency to want to hold and cling to the known. But what happens when we take that nervous energy and turn it into excitement about unknown territories? There are places that are calling to you explore. Places you may have never been to before. As upheaval happens, and as our circumstance & our experience starts to change, can we realize that we have been changed in the process? And, wherever we are being led or guided t...
Did you know there’s a Ferrari that’s parked in your garage? And it just wants you to drive it?!? This week, we talk about Intuition. It’s like having a souped-up race car that belongs to you — and it's just waiting for you to drive it. And it makes life FUN! Albert Einstein said, "The only real valuable thing is intuition.” So what is? How do we use it? How do we trust it? These are all the questions that we dive into. Now, it’s time to joy ride!!
Has 2020 taught us to go slower? This week we talk about un-doing the hustle, push, and achieve mentality that many of us were brought up with. We discuss the idea that there’s “nothing to prove” and what happens when we allow for space in our lives. We also muse about Mother Nature, connection with our bodies, and explore the “deep listening" that is able to occur when we return to our natural rhythms.
Have you ever wanted — maybe even needed — to throw your arms up in the arm and exclaim “I have no idea what I’m doing!” Isn’t that the gift of 2020? We don’t even have to pretend anymore that we know? We can relax into the “not knowing.” And in this precious surrender, this deep opening and allowing, we may allow life to move through us. Not knowing may be the greatest gift. And this allows what we DO know, what is clear, to be strong and sure inside of us.
Inspired by Natalie’s honeymoon in the south of France, this week we are talking about life being the ocean that asks us to surrender. We “dive into” the illusion of control, surfing with the present moment, and how trusting the Universe (and our projects) allows us to enjoy the waves in a whole new way.
This week we are talking about permission to be human. We are here to experiment and discover, so we are never going to get it all "right!" In fact, that's not the point. We dive into the concept that our humanity -- with all its messiness and wounds -- is so holy. We aren't here to cover up our imperfections (or even get rid of them!), but to embrace and accept ALL that we are. We talk about what it means to be embodied and repair the relationship with self, so that we can listen to the body's ...
This week we talk about the inception, development, and birth of Kristin’s first book “God, Sex, and Musical Theater” which is available for pre-launch this week. Natalie interviews Kristin on her writing journey, her fears in sharing her work, and the subtle vulnerabilities around creation. Kristin shares one of her poems on this podcast and also talks about the importance of having a mid-wife like Natalie who helped her overcome challenges, obstacles, and deep labor pains in the process. For S...
Last week, we asked, “What story are you telling?” But this week, we are backing up even further to ask, what stories did you inherit from your society, your religion, your family, and your schools. On this episode, we talk about the importance of questioning our myths and where they come from, and if they even work for us. How do we create a new story if we don’t look at where are old stories come from???
Do you know what a great storyteller you are? In fact, you are ALWAYS telling yourself a story. It’s true! Often, the way you are feeling has been created by an internal narrative that is going on in your mind. This week we talk about what storytelling does to our nervous system, the exploration our embodied feelings, and how to create the story we want to tell.
The week we talk about The Separate Self. That part of you which you deem unlovable, unworthy, or bad, and then you repress and hide those qualities (from the world, and often from yourself). This is how we get split in two, and in turn, what we don’t accept in ourselves, we project onto others. We talk about how this happens in childhood, and how that Separate Self acts out in adulthood because it wants to be accepted and integrated. We talk about the role that emotions play in this process and...
