What if compassion doesn’t start out there… but within?

In this episode of Picture Love, I’m sharing what compassion looks like in real life—especially on the days when things feel heavy, uncertain, or just a little harder than usual.

We talk about why so many of us apologize for simply taking up space… and how self-compassion can gently shift that.

This isn’t about carrying everyone else’s emotions or fixing the world.

It’s about learning to stay open, present, and kind to yourself—so you can show up with more clarity, more capacity, and more love.

There’s also a simple invitation woven through this episode:

To notice the “winks” in your life…
the quiet reminders that say, keep going—this matters.

And maybe, to offer that same reminder to someone else.

What if truth didn’t have to feel like a crisis?

In this episode of the Picture Love Podcast, I’m exploring what it means to meet truth with kindness, presence, and discernment instead of panic.

What began as part of a planned sequence became a real-life lesson in practicing what I preach — and a surprisingly aligned conversation with Tahlia, who returns with story, humor, and wisdom right on time.

Together, we explore how truth can become part of the support instead of something to brace against… and why not everything that rises is ours to keep.

If something is coming up for you lately, this is your gentle reminder:

one kind thought, one present breath, and one honest next step.

💗 Keep Picturing Love through truth.

In this reflective episode of the Picture Love Podcast, Kris reintroduces herself — not through titles or resumes, but through presence.

From music teacher to entrepreneur, from branding strategy to personal evolution, this conversation honors every version of who we’ve been while embracing who we’re becoming.

This episode explores:

• Letting go of personal branding pressure
• Thanking your younger self for the lessons
• Living on your growth edges
• Choosing authenticity over performance
• Filling your cup first, then sharing from overflow

If you’ve ever outgrown a role, shifted identities, or felt “weird” for evolving — this one’s for you.

Reflection:
What is your energetic imprint today?

Dedicated to those committed to a healing journey, who are needing to look at their photos as part of the process. 

You may think Kris has lost her marbles (apologies to those feeling triggered). 

But seriously, there is so much love in our pictures, and on the flip side of that, there are many photos that keep us from finding that love, holding us back through guilt, clutter and other images that keep us in patterns of pain. 

Kris LeDonne, host of Picture Love Podcast offers some deeper reflections on how destroying photos mindfully, can be an important way to break cycles, heal ourselves and even re-parent one's inner child, who needs a voice. 

Top 3 reasons include:

1. When there are too many redundancies
2. When they hurt someone else 
3. When they hurt ourselves 

Other valuable thoughts include: NOT letting legacies be made from clutter, Letting loved ones have the images they want while letting go of the ones that cause you blocks, and extra healing thoughts to support our journey. All presented with love

Host Kris LeDonne reflects on a nugget from last week's episode of Picture Love, when Kathryn Garland shared her perspective on candid photos of her everyday moments. 

Key themes and ideas of this short episode include:

• Noticing the gratitude of a moment - whether or not you have a photo- but giving it the focus and energy that attracts more experiences to appreciate
• Sometimes a photo that reminds us of someone we lost is a powerful way to celebrate that life and connection. 
• A compliment that changed the trajectory of the day
• Photos help us be more conscious of that love in beautiful experiences
• Don't Dodge out of the frame- allow yourself to be in a photo, because it matters to the people who share a memory with you. 
• Go ahead, capture the moment, then put the device away and make the memory.It'll be waiting for you. 
• Look for everyday moments you can enjoy today
• Kris shares a new offering: mixed media photo art pieces or grouping- starting to be shared on her Instagram @Krisreminisce
• Inspiration: Display a collection of photos with positive feelings, to be greeted with images of things that have beautiful and healing emotions attached to them.
• Here’s the episode referenced with Kathryn Garland.

Kris LeDonne is pleased to share a heartfelt conversation with Kristin Wilson, the host of the Solidarity Sister! podcast. 

In this episode, Kristin indulges us with reminiscence of stories with family life, her personal goals, limits and lessons and how community is woven throughout all of it. 

The Solidarity Sister! podcast and corresponding FB group are designed to empower women with practical tools for building powerful communities and leaning in through both joy and trauma. Kristin knows what it's like to desperately need help and not know how to ask and to see a friend in need and not know how to show up. She is on a journey to figure this out and is inviting other women to do it alongside her. Kristin has been married for 25 years and is the mother of 8 children.

Kris LeDonne created this episode to hold space for each of us to take a mental inventory of who's voices remain in our thoughts. You may be past this point in your life, or you're not ready to go there yet, ...  or maybe you're like me and realize your life is like an onion and each layer reveals new levels of sweetness and powerful emotion. 
You are invited to unpack the head stuff that keeps our hearts from being heard:

• Let's bless & release things that served us at some point but we've outgrown
• Declutter the thoughts that serve nobody and take them out with the trash
• Dust the shelves that held the wrong items for too long and thank them for hold up
• And celebrate, polish and display the things that really do reflect our best selves TODAY and that honor a better presence in our lives!
• Smile knowing it's part of life and will need to happen again at different times... and that's OKAY! 
• Above all, love yourself and your heart will be able to love others more fully. 

Let's picture love together!
