On this episode we go through a brief discussion of the 5 Love Languages originally wrote about in a book by the same name by Gary Chapman. Relationships are a huge part of being human. It is said that one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life is who you choose as a life partner. Navigating our intimate relationships becomes easier when we realize that everyone gives and receives loves in different ways, in different "languages". We have both used the wisdom of Mr. Chap...

The last installment of our 6 part series on the Mental Faculties! In this episode we talk about Perception. Perception at first glance is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses. What we are talking about though here is our spiritual capacity to use perception to interpret and place meaning on events, situations, and circumstances of our lives. We are all using this mental faculty on a day to day basis. When you learn to use this faculty to your advantage, you ...

Reason is what gives us the ability to really think, to be consciously aware of the thoughts and ideas that come to our mind, and to choose to reject or accept them into our reality. Most of us use our faculty of Reason to justify circumstances or situations in our life that keep us stuck. When we access "Spiritual Reasoning" or "Extraordinary Reasoning" we begin to ask different questions and use different logic to allow us to live in a more expansive way.

This episode continues our 6 part series on the 6 mental faculties! On today's episode we discuss Memory. This is an interesting one because we talk about memory in a way you may not have thought you could use it before: memorizing a future feeling. You see, memory is an important evolutionary tool we use to remember things that cause us pain and pleasure. We can use this tool to help us memorize a future self we'd love to work towards to help us decide what thoughts need to have and what action...

The first of 6 parts of our "6 Mental Faculties" series. If you haven't checked out the intro episode last week, I suggest you do that!

Most people believe that things have to be perfect in order for them to move forward. Then, when an obstacle pops up or their plan isn't working, they quit way too soon. At best they try to force things to be a certain way which causes tons of frustration and pain. In this episode, we talk about how to let go of the idea that there's ever ANYTHING that's perfect. The quest for perfection is really the quest for certainty. We want to know how things will work out and what will happen next, but in...

It is the things that you do on a daily consistent basis, compounded over time, that actually determines your success or failure. Now, intuitively this statement makes sense to us all, however, we've been led to believe that success or failure occurs in one giant moment. In this episode we discuss the profound power that habits have over determining the direction of our lives. We talk about how and WHY habits are formed, both from an evolutionary and neurological perspective, and how you can use...

Special Episode! Why? Because this episodes topic came from a listener's question to Kevin on Instagram. The question came as this: "I feel like I listen to or read so many inspirational resources that sometimes I feel like I jump from one resource to another and that I am not able to retain even the 'AHA!' moments I get. What is the best way to balance learning and living it out?" This is something that both Kevin and Chris have struggled with and so you will get an honest, down to earth answer...

On this episode we are joined by Julie Householder, a life coach and Biofield Immersion Healing Practitioner, to discuss the topic of forgiveness. Most of us believe that forgiveness is an outward act that requires you to be okay with what the other person did to you. We argue that this is just not the case. Forgiveness is an internal shift in awareness and energy within yourself. It’s the ability to shift the story you tell yourself about the other person, and your relationship to the event. In...

Whether, we realize it or not, all of us are telling stories in our heads. Stories about ourselves, who we think we are, what we believe we are capable of, Stories about events, situations, or conditions, Stories about other people, what we think of them, and what they think about us. All of these stories we tell have the tendency to be warped by our perceptions of reality. Why? Because we are the ones telling them! In this episode we discuss the importance of stories and how, oftentimes, regard...

The only place we can ever change is in the present moment. So when negative thoughts or limiting beliefs come up, it's actually the PERFECT time to change it! This is contrary to popular belief, so in this episode we dive into why this happens and what to do when these old patterns rise up. Remember, your negative thinking is not here to stop you... it's showing up in order to be released and re-patterned. Negative thinking doesn't mean that you're doing something wrong. It means you're on your...

Who are you really? Put simply, you are spirit, energy, consciousness that inhabits a human form. You are not your name, you are not your habits, you are not your patterns, you are not your behaviors, you are the energy that gives those things life and animates them in this human existence. What this means is that you are just a few behavior changes, a few habit changes, a few pattern changes away from being a completely different person. You are not broken, you are not flawed at the level of so...
