In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to center your life around what matters most, the bravery it takes to ask for what you truly want, and how to make space for joy and rest—even when life feels messy and overwhelming.

We talk about the stories we tell ourselves about success, let go of the myth of “doing it all,” and explore how taking care of ourselves is deeply connected to showing up for others. This is about finding your grounding, setting boundaries that feel right, and bringing the energy you want to create into the world.

This conversation is an invitation to exhale, be present, and see what might want to unfold for you in the year ahead.

This week we explore the balance between pushing ourselves to achieve and recognizing when it's time to prioritize our well-being. We also dive into the importance of giving love to all parts of ourselves – especially the parts that feel the most challenging.

We also talk about the process of creation, the high expectations we set for ourselves, and the importance of reconnecting with the joy and love that originally inspired our work. It’s important to check in with ourselves and ask, "Am I enjoying this process?" and to continually seek out the love and joy that motivate us.

We are going deep this week... We are talking about inspired action, where we put our energy and intention, listening to our desires, & who we become in the creation of our soul's work. Kristin also opens up about some big life events that have recently transformed and grown her.

The adventures in Paris continue! This week we talk about how spontaneity has been teaching us a lesson. How unexpected joy brings a fresh energy to it. Just as we know that as artists, something wants to create THROUGH us, in the same way there’s an energy that wants to live THROUGH us... if we allow it.

When we told people in New York that we were traveling to Europe for the summer, we were often met with the question, “For what?” And when we replied, “For Joy!” We got blank faces, and then, “What!?!” We kept thinking how funny and interesting it was that JOY was such a foreign concept. Isn’t that the best reason to do ANYTHING? So, in this week’s podcast we talk about Joy as the motivating factor, and why it might be the most important motivation that we need.

Do you know Katie Dalebout?? If you don’t, you are in for a treat!! She’s our total Soul Sister and also a podcast maven who’s curiosity and love of life will brighten your day. Listen as we talk about love, break-ups, anxiety, overwhelm, the affiliations of the mind, and cute outfits. This girl is our new girl crush, and we know she’ll be yours too!

If you know us, you know we love to talk about longing! But have you ever thought of longing and desire being the way that Life Itself, the All of Existence, communicates to us what wants to be born in the world? So, if we find that we are turning down our desire, or denying ourselves what we want, we are shutting out that new thing that wants to be created through us. Take a listen, and then turn in to your deepest heart’s calling…

You know how we just talk about what we are learning? Well, we are both lovers (and students!) of Tosha Silver and her Change Me Prayers, and she talks so much about the “open hand” concept. It is trusting that whatever is meant to come into your life will come, and whatever needs to leave will leave. It’s living in non-attachment. It is letting go of grasping because we know we don’t need to wrestle things into our experience. We can have faith that we are always Divinely cared for — at the perfect time, in the perfect ways.

Yes!! We are doing it!!! Inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert’s “City of Girls” we are doing a podcast on FEMALE DESIRE. Yes! This podcast was designed to turn you on — in fact, “turn on” is the whole point! In your life, in your dharma, in the little tasks in life, where can you get curious about your internal charm? That is the Holy Place. “Turn on” turns on your power, your energy, and raises your vibration. It’s time to dive into your desire and let it lead you...

How do you know what to do next? What if you have so much you wanna do and you get into overwhelm? How do you learn to listen to that still small voice inside of you and decipher it’s messages? This week we answer two different listener questions as we explore what internal listening is and how it can lead us in the right direction at the right time. We share lots of exercises and tools that we have used to get us to be better listeners and talk about some of the messages that we have been receiving.

This week — prompted by a listener’s request — we dive into love, attraction, desire, conditional and unconditional love. It opened up a very personal conversation about shame and security, and how it can all become a portal to a deeper listening. We explore the inner romance of the soul, and the importance of allowing deep questioning and self-exploration to become an invitation into a Love Affair with Life.

It’s funny how we often try to change the circumstances of our life -- so that we can be happy -- but we are working on the outside, so that the inside will be different. It’s like we are moving around the furniture, when the true interior design wants to be done on the INSIDE. This week we talk about the traps of “moving the furniture” and how we might change our focus to the real energetic work.

This week our sweet Natalie Roy has laryngitis — send all the love and healing vibes her way!! So this week, we have a treat, it’s a conversation with our buddy Rob Bell on creativity, spirituality, and listening to the stillness within. And as a podcast first, he is dropping this same interview on his podcast this week, while we drop it on ours! So all the friends can listen!!

Oscar Wilde said "Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret." This week we are talking all about travel and the major lessons it has taught us. Get ready for lots of our favorite stories from abroad as we recount our past adventures! Our next big trip to Florence is coming soon and we are already diving into this summer's theme: EXPANSION!

Isn’t interesting to watch when people get into mindsets that are locked and fixed? Isn’t fascinating how there a tendency to say “this is how it is?” But there is huge power in being willing to see things with an open mind, to be willing to stretch our definitions of what is possible, and realize that there is more than one way to look at something. Just as we construct a narrative, there is power in also deconstructing that narrative. From a place of spaciousness and openness, we can see what else is possible!!

Sometimes angels can appear right in front of you and remind you that you always have a choice — to have Faith in Fear or have Faith in Faith. This week we talk about our own Divine Messengers and that ultimate decision to believe in something bigger than ourselves. We explore the definitions of Faith and what they mean to us. We also talk about the power of belief, being led by our own inner voice, and how we learn who (and what) to listen to. The teachers are all around us and the guru is always speaking.

Later in his life, Albert Einstein wrote to a dear friend of his "People like you and me never grow old. We never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.” This week we talk about the power and the presence that comes from meeting life with a child-like awe. If you are feeling like things are getting frustrating, stale, or confusing, maybe now is the time to bring the essence of awe to all that is.

This week is a doozy! It was inspired from a reading given to us entitled “Using Others to Stop Your Pain.” Yep. Sometimes we don’t even realize that we are looking to others to be the source of our happiness or to stop our pain. Focusing back on ourselves shows us the place of our personal power and enables us to find real solutions as well as true joy.

Some of the things that we are struggling with in this lifetime are part of a family heritage, a lineage passed down over time. In fact, many of us picked the family line we did because there was a subject we wanted to study — addiction, anxiety, financial stress, low self-esteem, failure, etc. What can be FREEING is to recognize that these patterns or wounds are part of our family system. They aren’t “ours” but we inherited them because we wanted to study them. We had a STRONG DESIRE to come to the planet and HEAL them in ourselves, to stop the generational pass-down, to teach them, and to free ourselves and others.

Our Natalie is now an American Citizen!!! This week Kristin interviews Natalie about the process of becoming a citizen, what she learned, and who she became as the process unfolded. We also talk about separation and judgement — on the global scale as well as the individual scale, and how we can notice and heal those places inside ourselves.

What is our responsibility to life? To many of us, “responsibility" is a BIG word. Maybe even a heavy word!! It can carry ideas of doing what we don’t want to do… being in a state of obligation. But what if our true responsibility to life is to be one with this present moment? To be one with what Existence is asking for? As we learn to respond from a deeper place, rather than react in fear to life… we can feel a great inner oneness with all that is.

What if the new measure of success, wasn’t how much money you made, things you achieved, or followers you had on social media?? What if the NEW MEASURE of success is HOW MUCH FUN YOU ARE HAVING?? Can you imagine if you spent your day focused on fun, on getting the juice out of the moment, on appreciating those around you? What if you turned the tables on the standards of the world and took a stand for JOY being the barometer of your life?

This week we interview our soul sister and actress/playwright Maddie Corman about her process in developing her solo show “ACCIDENTALLY BRAVE.” We talk about the courage it takes to create from vulnerability, how to tell our own story, and why we “take our broken hearts and turn it into art.” We love Maddie so much, and we can’t wait to share her with you!!

It is very easy to judge our emotions. We want to categorize them or label them as “good" or “bad.” The truth is, we are sentient beings. Our nature is to feel. We have a capacity to CREATE through our emotions powerfully. How do we learn to develop a NEW RELATIONSHIP with ourselves and our feelings so they can be our friend in the process?

We asked for topics and you delivered... right in time for Valentine's Day! We talk about attraction, our deepest wounds, creating narratives, communicating in romantic relationships, and self-love. What could be more fun!? We also bop our heads! You can bop along!!

We want to keep our mess hidden. It’s human nature. We don’t want anyone else to see what we don’t think is “perfect.” We were taught that people judge by appearances and that its important to LOOK like we have it all together. But what if we were taught that the MESS is where the JUICE is? It’s our passion. It’s our path. It’s what we incarnate for… What if the MESS is where all the good stuff is? This week we talk about EMBRACING OUR MESS, and letting it become OUR MESSAGE!!

When life doesn’t make sense, or things seem challenging or confusing, often we want to start DOING something. But sometime Life is telling us… “Shhh, what you’ve been doing ISN’T working. There is something I want to SHOW you. Slow down. Stop. Wait. Watch.” In this way we are being called to STOP, and to meet whatever discomfort arises with compassion and curiosity. This week we talk about the important of Stillness and Silence when there’s something new that wants to be born into our lives.

We’ve all had moments when we feel that we are cut off from who we really are, what we stand for, or what we came here to do. But how often is it because we are allowing some circumstance or some person be the reason that we let go off our peace, joy, abundance, success, or happiness? We give our power away when we become prisoners to our circumstance or our negative perspective. This week we talk about our true Power Source and how to tap into energy... regardless of the world in form. It is that moment where we can truly see how powerful we are.

You guys!!! It’s our 100th episode!!! Can you believe it!?! And to celebrate, we are having our BIGGEST CRUSH stop by to visit the podcast! Meet writer, philosopher, and storyteller Pete Rollins who hung out and spoke about the events in our lives that transform everything, meeting our strangeness, and the pleasure of the struggle.

“What do I do with my anxiety?” Have you ever asked this question? Have you ever felt that anxiety was keeping you from truly enjoying your life? Our friend Kristen Bell talks about building a tool kit of methods to deal with anxiety, and how even exploring and befriending your anxiety can be a spiritual path in life.

We are so excited to share this interview this week!!! Our very own Corey Camperchioli to talk about his film FEMME, following your vision, dealing with fear, and how to create the art that carries the message that you need to hear.

We often feel like we are waiting for a MIRACLE. Waiting for something to change our lives, so that we can be who we want or have what we want to have. But the truth is that the MIRACLE is already here. Because the miracle that you have been waiting for is YOU. In this first podcast of 2018, we dive into what it takes to be a MIRACLE MAKER.

Last week was Resonating with Greatness - Part 1, now we dive into Part 2! We explore the habits of Greatness and how can we start to incorporate those into our lives — especially as 2019 is knocking at our door. Invite more GREAT into your day!!

"Greatness” sounds like a big word, doesn’t it? So big that it actually feels unattainable sometimes. Yet in our hearts we crave it. We know it is possible. Can the way to Greatness be created by changing our habits? This week we talk about the Habits of Mediocrity. What is the behavior that finds its way into our lives that stands in the way of Greatness?

Do you allow yourself to receive from the Universe? Can you see the good that Love is giving you? Or do you sense that there is a deeper way to allow yourself to receive? “Receiving” isn’t just something that happens to you — it’s actually a way of living in the world. Join us this week as we talk about how each one of can turn ourselves in a Power Receiver!

This week we are talking about ANGER! Yes! Anger! And how there is such value in expressing those emotions that we aren't always encouraged to explore. We talk about why it's important not to push feelings away and the wisdom that comes when we allow ourself to embody what is. We also talk about how to process disappointment and how getting our heart broken is part of being an authentic, soulful artist.

“PRONOIA” — it’s the belief that the Universe is conspiring in your favor!! Can you imagine what’d be like if we truly believed that?? Would it eliminate hurry, fear, or scarcity?? Would we trust our experience as it unfolds?? Would we be open in a different way to what comes into our experience?? Would it allow us to enjoy the present moment more? This week we jam on the concept of “pronoia” and how we can use it as a tool to bring more peace and joy into our lives.

Do you ever look around and say “well, life would be better if THIS thing wasn’t here?” We often have aversions to the very situation, person, issue that has come for our deepest healing and growth. If we trust that the Universe is FOR us, and is all-loving, then we can also trust that everything has come into our lives to reveal more love, more truth, and more expansion. It’s time to honor, cherish, and listen to exactly the things that present themselves as challenges — because Everything is Your Teacher.

Man, isn’t it interesting how many of us have been taught that “life is tough” and that you have to “work hard to get ahead”?? Many of these beliefs can keep us out of the JOY of the present moment and STRESSED about a future that isn’t actually occurring. What if we changed the entire concept of why we are here?? What if we are here for joy, for play, for pleasure? What if we are here to express who we are??? What if the Universe (in its infinite wisdom) knows what we need, loves to support and take care of us, and it's up to us to relax, breathe, trust, and let the good stuff in??? What if it’s up to us to enjoy the game??

Our buddy Josh Radnor — actor, writer, director, producer, and musician — stopped by to jam on creativity, spirituality, and his own personal process of discovery. We go deep into why “success” doesn’t just solve every answer, the magic of failure, and beginning brave enough to begin new things. Josh inspires us because he is a constant reminder to follow our Dharma over the things we “think” will give us the illusion of happiness. Come listen in as we talk about the process of becoming the person who will catch you.

Oh, The Doom Monster!!! Do you ever finding yourself thinking about the worst case scenario? Or wondering when the other shoe is going to drop? This week we talk about WHY we often find ourselves preparing for “The Doom Monster,” what this does to our lives, and how we can start to create a new relationship with the present moment.

We got asked by a listener to talk about PLEASURE!! What’s more fun than that?!? If you are a regular listener, you know we are big advocates of play and pleasure. But do you know why?! Because it opens us to our TRUE POWER!!! Our true identity!!! It allows us access to an energy inside of us, that is the same energy that animates the Universe. Listen and then make Play and Pleasure your number one priority today!!!

One of our personal favorite podcast’s to date — this week we talk about stepping into our STAR POWER! And you know what? We are the stuff that stars are made of!! And the energy that radiates, shines, and attracts dwells within all of us… We discuss how to release that power and how to keep it generating, so that we can all live in the magnitude of our own personal galaxies!

This week we talk about preparing for the next great chapter of our lives!! Prompted from a listeners question — part 3 of a series of 4 — we discuss how to cultivate bravery and faith for what is coming next. We also dive into clearing the space for something NEW, rather than a repeat of the past, so we can open to the abundant future that we’re meant to live.

Our Part Two in our Listener’s letter about a BIG MOVE. How do we know what belongs in our lives, and what to let go of? Whether it be in our closets, relationships, career, or creativity — the time comes when we need to decide what stays and what goes. In this podcast, we explore having the “eyes to perceive the best” in order to see the Divine in all things.

This week, Natalie & Kristin dive into another listener’s letter. In this one, we explore what is coming up around a person's big move — what do you hold onto when everything else is shifting?? The first part in a four part series, we talk about what can be gained when life has you free falling’ (remember the Tom Petty song?). We examine the gift of surrender: how letting go shows us our true foundation, our internal home.

It's another podcast! Guess what? Natalie has had a little visitor. A tiny furry visitor in her apartment. And now she has a story for us! We talk about  learning to identify our own needs, not putting our "savior" outside of ourselves, and creating a secure environment for ourselves,  AND... this is the first podcast that you can watch the video of!

Do you ever notice yourself feeling underestimated?? By others or by yourself? Our topic this week comes from a listener who is looking to “un-do” underestimating in herself. One of the things we found is that if we underestimate who and what we are, we also underestimate the Universe — cutting ourselves off from so many options, resources, and opportunities. It’s time to open up, un-do, and receive!

Today we talk to actress, singer, dancer, comedian and Broadway Baby J. Elaine Marcos! She has been in NINE — count them — NINE Broadway Shows and has learned so much about creating from the inside out, claiming your gifts, detachment, and the process. We talk about it all!!

Friends!! Have you ever had a plane ride that changed your life? We did.
We can’t wait to share with you the incredible people we have met and the way they are creating change. Meet Brian Lewis and Nadya Encarnacion — two powerhouse artists and freedom fighters who are a part of a trailblazing organization called Exalt. The work they do has caused a call to action in our hearts, and we hope to inspire the same in you.
