  • 475. Something is Wrong with Health in America with Shawn Stevenson

    We're trapped in a web of narratives. Right now, the United States is crippled by an obesity epidemic that's getting bigger, made worse by the endless wave of related "facts" coming at us from every screen.

    If there is a pill for every ill, why are we so sick?

    Shawn Stevenson has been on a 20-year mission to learn and research where we went wrong and how we can get out of this mess. Forget about "burning fat" and instead learn the facts that will free us from this prison of chronic illness. Shawn's exit strategy is to share information from an objective place, without an agenda, and truly respect the human body as a complex lab.

    Your value is not based on a number. Fat is not your enemy, it's more of an overprotective parent. Let's step back, look within, and see what we find.

    We also talk about:

    • The current state of health
    • A nuanced approach to obesity and weight loss
    • Fat: what it is and why we need it
    • Gut health and immunity 
    • The biology of fear 
    • How do we move forward?

                • 473. Receive the Love You Want

                  Stephan Labossiere is on a divine mission to course correct our lost connection to the self and others. As a certified relationship coach, he wants everyone to find an enriching partnership. Seriously, what’s not to love?

                  Miraculous realizations happen when you peel back the layers of social programming and return to your gut instincts and biological, hormonal drives. In this episode, Stephan paints a picture of what finding and keeping love looks like. From contrasting the masculine and feminine energies to navigating spirituality imbalances in partnership, Stephan breaks down the defensive walls built around our hearts and helps us flip the switch that lets our love flow freely to those who are deserving of receiving it. 

                  We also talk about:

                  • Stephan’s relationship to God
                  • How to manage spirituality expectations in relationships 
                  • The polarity between the masculine and feminine
                  • How to keep the spark alive in long-term relationships
                  • Healing past hurts in relationships
                  • Supernatural experiences and spiritual sensitivity

                        • 472. The Power of Bees + The Secret to True Collaboration with Carly Stein

                          The queen bee of Beekeepers Naturals, Carly Stein, was first planted in the corporate world but she blossomed in the wellness industry. For Carly, running a conscious business means sustainability in both her products and team mindset. From rigorous third-party lab testing to showing up vulnerably in the boardroom, Carly has pushed the envelope on what it means to be a CEO and turned all her challenges into art. 

                          Then there are the bees. Bees saved Carly from a sticky web of chronic health issues in her twenties, and now she’s paying it forward by being the ultimate ally to nature’s unsung heroes – and creating a potent and pure product that’s changing lives while she’s at it. 

                          We also talk about:

                          • Pursuing goals while living in balance
                          • Conquering anxiety as a CEO
                          • Vulnerability in leadership 
                          • Familairy vs. doing what’s good for you

                                • 471. Spiritual Boundaries, Dealing with Darkness + Spirit Babies

                                  Spiritual medium, Erika Gabriel, guides Almost 30 Nation through the earth school journey and how to straddle different dimensions. From connecting with your spirit babies and meeting loved ones who’ve passed to navigating the emotionally fraught lessons of the 3D world. 

                                  Through Erika’s lens, the tapestry of life and death shines with juicy potential. To receive, you have to shut out the thick white noise of guru distractions and perception of time. Believe it or not, the cliché is true: the answers are all within you. 

                                  We also talk about:

                                  • Setting boundaries with spirits

                                        • 470. Out of the Mind and Into The Body with Taryn Toomey

                                          Taryn Toomey, founder of The Class, helps regulate the mental gymnastics of our mind with intentional movement. Her mission has flipped the notion that self-awakening is solely a job for the intellectual brain by spotlighting exercise as a means to exorcise what needs releasing.

                                          Taryn shares her personal journey, working through a challenging childhood and the kismet ways The Class snowballed during the pandemic. As she sheds old skin, releasing relationships, “guru” projections, and past versions of self, The Class has grown into a movement that not only serves others but is a mirror to measure her own internal landscape. 

                                          We also talk about:

                                          • Reframing shadow work

                                                • 469. What if my partner isn't spiritual?

                                                  Anger, disappointment, betrayal. These are the textbook reactions to your partner when they show no interest in your self-awakening. It feels like everyone else on Instagram are #spiritualcouplegoals, casually going to ayahuasca retreats in Costa Rica. Meanwhile, you can’t get your other half to go to a yoga class. So, what do you do when you’re filling your cup with all the self-help books, crystals – ALL the things – but your partner is not interested in following the same path?

                                                  If you feel yourself falling down a rabbit hole of spiritual manipulation, tune into this solo episode with Krista, where she unpacks the do’s and don'ts of addressing spiritual imbalance in partnership and how to silence the spiritual ego from rearing its not-so-enlightened head.

                                                        During Alyson Charles' brutal yet beautiful spiritual awakening, animals were a daily medicine that coaxed repressed traumas to the surface. Through the initiation, she rebirthed as "RockStar Shaman" with a mission to collaborate directly with the wisdoms of Mother Earth and Great Spirit/Source, and bridge the gap between animals and humans. 

                                                        Her spiritual allegiance to the animal world comes full circle with her new book, Animal Power, which decodes the spiritual significance of 100 species along with transformative practices to deepen your relationship with the power animal wanting to support you at this time. In this episode, Alyson reveals the emotionally-charged backstory to birthing her living, breathing medicine book, the responsibility of owning her role as a shaman, and how lessons from surrender and celibacy led her to find sacred union with Luke Storey.

                                                                Minnesota mama and marketing pro, Jenna Kutcher, has ticked off all the things on “the list.” She built a seven-figure digital business from scratch (thanks to a $300 camera purchase on Craigslist), married her life partner, and is a mother after years of trying. 

                                                                Now, Jenna’s sights are set beyond Instagram strategy. She’s changing the blueprint of what motherhood should look like, and is focusing on the present. The gifts she’s received have been tenfold. She learned how to delegate as a CEO, became the sole breadwinner of her (growing) family, and made actionable steps towards inclusivity in her business. 

                                                                The goal is not set in stone. Jenna is constantly shedding, cleaning out her closet, trying things on for size, and reclaiming the titles she’s picked up along the way. After all, isn’t that the point of living?

                                                                We also talk about:
