In this episode, we speak with content creator, model, and writer, Kendra Austin. She talks about "The Realest Oracle", spirituality, love, battling our identity, the effect of body image on her as a child, and her weight loss journey. We also chat about letting go of toxic people, learning from experiences, being rejected, and her somatic healing experience.

[2:59] The Realest Oracle

"I feel like I created the deck for those people, who are a little bit skeptical or don't really want to find a new language in order to access spirituality, because they shouldn't have to."

[6:20] The Cards

"I also felt that disability, queerness, like all body inclusion, of course people of all different races, be included in the deck because that was all I haven't seen before."

[9:16] Defining Love

"Love is a dedicated act, an intention, a practice, and also of course, the challenge."

[10:56] Echoing Childhood

"People just inherently don't accept me for these things, and that's really challenging. It made me feel really small, and wasn't capable of occupying what I felt at that time, was my purpose."

[18:11] Diet Culture

"Those were all things that as a little girl, you just imagine…The world is unforgiving for a person that doesn't look the way that you expect them to, that you feel like would make them deserve of belonging."

[23:06] The Catalyst to Change

"All these questions are tied to everything you've experienced in childhood and you don't even realize it."

[29:06] Weight Loss Journey

"It's so hilarious because I thought I needed to lose weight in order to have the life that I wanted, but in the actual experience of the weight loss, I have to rob myself of the experiences in order to lose the weight."

[35:40] Transformation

"It is better to truly let them go… I'm so grateful to be in the time of my life where I am finally able to not only see, but reap the reward."

[43:50] New Experience

"One day you'll be able to share the story, and say like 'You know, I was dumb in this way then, I'll be dumb in a different way soon, but this is the lesson I took from this, and I did it because I was brave'."

[47:44] Room to Connect

"Because I have that boundary, instead of doing that thing, I was able to see why I was doing that thing, what I was running away from."

[53:57] Somatic Therapy

"I've incorporated those mindful practices into my life, which of course have been so transformative… It is actually wild how long I have been denying this relationship with my body, but also just always defaulting to the intellect."

[1:04:27] Touched Out

"Have you ever thought the solution is nothing? The power of pause could be very powerful."

[1:09:14] Space of Resonance

"I'm not seeking hyper-visibility, I'm seeking impact."

In this episode, we get to talk with Carlee Nussbaum, a certified nutrition health coach. She tells us about struggling with anxiety from an early age, and how healing herself from emotional eating also got her into coaching people to overcome it. She also gave some tips on how to have a good relationship with food, how to keep our hormones healthy and balanced, and how we should add or eliminate certain foods based on what's best for our own health.

[4:56] Constant Cycle

"As young as I can remember, and my parents can remember, I struggle with insecurities, weight struggle, social anxiety… It was bad, and I completely lost myself, and it's interesting because now, it's the best thing that happened to me."

[11:27] Healing Yourself

"If anyone out there is wondering if you should get help, get it from as many people as you can because it's life changing."

[16:03] Nobody's Perfect

"I think that's so important for everyone out there to know too, that all of those people in social media that you see that acts like they're completely healed, they're not and they're just not showing it."

[18:13] Eating Disorder vs. Disordered Eating

"During that time, I had lost my period, my hair was thinning out completely. It was also when I was extremely depressed; that was impacting it."

[24:59] Symptoms

"It got to the point where it was like I didn't look healthy…Instead of shooting for the smaller version of yourself, shoot for the healthier version of yourself."

[29:17] Wedding Weight

"We always say like 'Thick and thin; I love you thick and thin.'"

[37:38] Healthy Hormones

"Hormones are crazy, they take over you."

[44:40] The Right Food for YOUR Diet

"It's interesting but it's just crazy how certain foods can do that to you, like foods can just control and help so much which is an amazing thing… there could be a food that you're eating that's making you not focus that much."

[51:17] Healthier Options

"Make things that are still gonna make you feel good, but not restrict yourself, because restricting yourself isn't the way to go."

[56:16] Comfort Food

"Figure out what those triggers are… You don't realize it, but there's a reason why you're going to the pantry three times…I think we just lean on food because it's comforting."

[1:01:04] Being Good Enough

"No matter how much you work on it, I'll be totally honest, there's still days when i'm like 'is this what I should be doing?' if I'm self-conscious about it… but everyone has their own timeline too."

[1:08:02] Consistency

"Some pressure's good, but I think it's really important to take that step back."

In this episode, we chat with entrepreneur and former cast member of The Bachelor, Susie C. Evans. We get to chat about the ins and outs of being part of The Bachelor, such as falling in love on set, the role that production plays in building relationships on the show, and dealing with the pressure of being watched, unfiltered. She also talks about her roller-coaster life as an entrepreneur and the importance of pursuing your passion.

[3:01] Nominee

"I just thought it was so ridiculous, the concept of it… I remember saying and thinking 'I would be horrible and I won't take it serious'."

[5:40] The Season's Bachelor

"I think it's because I just put so much value on character for men, rather than their looks… so I was just like 'Okay, we'll see, we gotta put him through the test'."

[10:37] The Odds

"I remember they kept asking, 'Could you fall in love in 2 months?', and I was like yeah, probably, I've done that before, but it's like totally different on television vs. in the real world…"

[13:12] Curated Match

"I remember seeing things happen and people being excited about things Clayton did for them, and I was like 'Okay, that was obviously production', and I remember thinking 'How are people falling for this? "

[19:22] Saying No

"It's frightening not just because what you say could be taken out of context, but because of editing. They could edit you to look a lot of different ways."

[22:53] Dealing with Pressure

"I remember the influx of people that were messaging me, saying horrible things at first… I remember looking back at myself during that time, and I was in depression for sure."

[29:04] Social Media Posting

"When you use your platform for something that's really good, but maybe not as 'juicy'… then you are like 'this is a true reflection of my passion and how I like the world to experience life', and it flops."

[33:42] Magic in Japan

"It was incredible, it was the best thing I ever could have done."

[37:02] Work over Dates

"I would love to just have that person magically appear, and they're like with me for the rest of my life… I just don't wanna do the dirty work of dating all these guys to find the one."

[43:04] Dirty Work of an Entrepreneur

"I know we shouldn't aim to fail, but once you start failing and you realized that 'Oh I picked myself back up and I got through it', it teaches you that that's just a part of the process."

[53:54] Pursuing Passion

"It doesn't matter, the views. It matters that you're doing what you're passionate about and that you're aligned with, and like we said, the right thing will fall into place when it's meant to."

[59:03] Future Plans

"Right now, I'm just like super open-minded to going down any avenue of video and photo; just kinda see what sticks, and also like where I'm passionate, I think."

In this episode, Kelly gives us a glimpse of how 2023 is going so far for her, in terms of love, health, and career. She talks about the things she learned from her new job, plans for her business, tips on how to re-energize our health, and how her body work experience made her realize to trust what she feels when it comes to dating.

[2:33] New Job

"We stay when we're comfortable. Life doesn't change until we make changes."

[9:08] Back to Business

"That's the beauty in being an entrepreneur, is that you get to decide and you get to choose what you want for you."

[16:02] Fatigue is not Normal

"I'm not a burn-out chic, so I recognize when I need to pull back and scale back, and take care of me, and that's kind of what I've been doing."

[20:17] Health Check

"What I really liked about progressive medical so far is that they are giving me a treatment plan, which is something I haven't had."

[28:25] Healthy Habits

"Walking is wonderful for you; it's a mind, body, soul connection."

[30:24] Ending the Cycle

"There's this core belief down to my gut that says 'something's wrong with you, that's the reason you're not getting chosen for things or people'."

[38:35] Not Chasing

"I want a man who is sure about me, because that is the consistent safety that I'm looking for."

In this episode, we chat with Tasha Wall — business coach, psychic healer, and former personal fitness trainer. We get to speak about healing the root of our traumas, the underlying truth about fuck boys, pursuing fame, working on ourselves, and how we could actually meet and connect with our soulmate.

[5:30] Breaking through Patterns

"The healing is when you actually get to the root and remove it; our body has so much memory."

[13:35] Men and Money

"The way that men spend money on us shows our ability to receive things. The way that men give us time, the way that men give us gifts, that teaches us something about ourselves."

[15:45] The Popular Guy

"F-boys are literally the potion of pain and pleasure."

[20:30] Trigger

"We break up to channel our fierceness to get what we wanted, but we can only hold on for so long."

[24:32] Fame

"At the end of the day, that's what we want. We want to be admired."

[25:25] The Chase

"We could be easy to love. People don't have to earn their way into your life. Don't make it harder for people to get in just because one person screwed you over."

[34:29] Reciprocity

"The more it's not a big deal to you, the more you own whatever it is that's vulnerable, and also that's not even vulnerable anymore, that's what's gonna make you attract people."

[39:06] Connecting to a Soulmate

"The faster you connect to his soul, and hold that connection, the faster he enters into your life."

[50:22] Meeting our Soulmate

"I think we have multiple soulmates…We make up on our minds what the ideal connection is and it's not productive."

[1:02:26] Realities of a Reality Show

"If you don't tell someone your story, they're just gonna make one about you."

[1:07:38] Real Love

"When you have a soul connection, you're one and there's an 'Us', not 'What can I do for you?', 'What can you do for me?'"

[1:18:42] Working on Ourself

"You have hooks that are coming out of your feet into the ground, make you feel like you're always stuck in one spot, always wondering what the next step is, always looking around for direction."

In this episode, we get to talk with entrepreneur and "Hulah" dating app founder, Heather Hopkins. We talk about starting her dating app, why women needed a safe space for dating, and how dating a guy endorsed by other women guarantees better dates. She also walks us through some features of the "Hulah" app that will definitely help out women on finding their best match.

[2:40] The Beginning

"I always knew that I would start a company, I just never knew what it would be."

[7:38] Followers

"I start to lose lots of roles because of that."

[9:08] Safe Space

"It's unsafe out there for us… there are a lot of guys that speak to us inappropriately on apps, and there's a lot of like messed up guys on apps."

[10:57] Female Power

"Hulah, now, is a space where you date better guys endorsed by other women."

[13:47] Dating Points

"We're not here to make people insecure, and it's not based off looks…There's no negative points."

[19:34] Fear of Dating Apps

"Use the app as a supplement, there's nothing to be embarrassed about…Times are different now."

[20:48] Red flag or Green flag?

"You always wanna show the colors of your life… I think a lot of people make the mistake of putting on a lot of filters and not being their authentic selves."

[23:06] Tips on the App

"You want things that show the colors that people could ask about."

[29:35] Her Dating Life

"Being an entrepreneur is really hard, and it takes a special guy to deal with this kind of lifestyle."

[33:06] Different Worlds

"You always want to just be with someone, whether whatever they do or whatever lifestyle, they don't dim your light."

[34:48] Getting Immersed

"I just know a lot. I think I can bring a lot of perspectives but I still need experiences to happen."

In this episode, we talk with self-mastery expert, Andrea Lowell, about her dilemma as a former Playboy Playmate radio-show host and how feeling miserable pushed her to pursue what she really values. She also walks us through why self-love will never be a selfish move, the power of self-mastery towards making progress in our lives, and the benefits of shifting our mindset to the things that are going right.

[4:28] The Playboy Lifestyle

"I became a willing participant of the partying, in the lifestyle, and instead of using any morals that I grew up with, any reasoning, I just went full into it, and I did that really, because I thought that was expected of me."

[9:21] Family and Friends/ Perspective of Others

"I didn't talk to my mom probably for a couple years; she was so disappointed in me. It brought a lot of shame to my family."

[17:25] Spirituality

"I also think that us tuning into nature and having that fascination with it is where we find divinity in all things… we learn all these lessons just by observing nature."

[18:55] After Playboy TV

"I found that it's so fun and exciting to find out who I really was and my core essence. My core essence was nothing like I was doing… I started looking at what I valued, and I started acting according to that."

[24:25] Being Honest to Ourselves

"The self-honesty thing goes from blaming everyone for the way I feel about them, into saying 'I am actually responsible for the way I feel about them'."

[36:23] Stop Outsourcing Power

"I have everything I need within me, I just need to unlock that power through embodiment, through integration, because if I have a head full of knowledge, but I am not doing anything with it, what's the point?"

[40:38] Prioritize Self-love

"To prioritize ourselves, so we can show up for the collective — show up for our families, show up for our clients, show up to our romantic lovers, as the best versions of us, is hardly selfish. It's necessary."

[45:29] Authentic

"Now I feel like instead of making a hundred people like me, I just care that I'm so authentic that one or two people just really love the real me. That's so important."

[51:57] Love and Friendships

"If I can't be real with myself, how can I be real with anyone else? Honesty is the ancestor of self-worth and self-love."

[58:17] Drawing the Line

"If you have the right coach or the right mentor, they're going to take you back to you… If something's meant for us, it will pop into our field of awareness again."

In this episode, we chat with reality star and social media influencer Heather Martin about her experience on The Bachelor, her first kiss at age 22, the opportunities and obstacles of being watched on television and dealing with social media, and her perspective on dating before and after The Bachelor.

[3:15] Shooting the Show

"For the most part, it's kind of like what I expected, and I think maybe I had to be a little too lightheartedly."

[12:06] First Kiss

"I really wasn't gonna give myself to someone or like really want to enter into that process unless I actually thought it was gonna be something, you know, more long-term."

[16:24] Dating as a Christian

"I think that's why I have been so protective of my heart; I know what I'm looking for… There's not a surplus of those type of men out there, so I think, I always just kind of saved that for whoever that person's gonna be."

[18:13] Culture shock

"I think the negative comments, and all these things were definitely the negative part of the show. It wasn't crazy but it definitely affects you, as much as you don't want it to or you say it won't, it does."

[22:05] Shifting to Social Media

"I still feel like I'm in the process of learning social media because it's just so not natural to me… I still feel like a baby trying to learn."

[26:37] Confusing Identities

"Well that's super confusing, having people view you in one way, and then expect you to be that way."

[32:27] Transitioning as an Influencer

"It's kind of what I'm doing full time now which has been fun, different, hard, and weird, but also like amazing in so many different ways."

[41:00] Influencer life

"It was never my dream, that's for sure, but now I'm like 'this is my dream', which is awesome… I definitely feel there's a purpose behind it."

[44:29] After the Show

"I think the biggest thing that I've learned from the show is to be bold… I think that's been something I've always wanted to be, but I always had these fears."

[54:52] The Type

"I really do not have a physical type at all… I really like confident and funny."

In this episode, we speak with singer, songwriter, and performer, Loren Rosko. She talks about leaving toxic and abusive relationships, how giving love one more chance after a lot of unsuccessful relationships finally led her to meeting "Mr. Right" (her now husband), and how much their relationship has changed her life and career for the better. She also shares her fabulous outlook on marriage and careers.

[3:37] Love on 30A

"I did think it would really be special to surprise Sean with our own wedding song that I wrote and recorded for him, and his reaction was priceless."

[4:48] Red Flags

"Maybe the biggest form of self-care that I could do is remove these toxic people that are in my life; and it's so hard to see when you're in it because you wanna give people the benefit of the doubt."

[10:00] Parental Patterns

"I think seeing that in my entire life, I made the assumption that 'All men do that and that's okay, that's just what marriage is, right? This is how men act'."

[13:46] Uncomfortability

"It is interesting when you go after something you've never thought you know would work; how amazing it could be."

[16:17] Blind Date

"I really thought 'There's no way. There's no way we're gonna be compatible. There's no way he's gonna like me'… We're just in two totally different places in life."

[20:19] Moving Forward

"Sometimes writing stuff down is a huge wake up call. When you see something in pen… you don't want to admit that but when you see a thing you just wrote, it's like 'What the h*** am I doing?'"

[23:56] Breath of Fresh Air

"When you surround yourself with people that believe in you, but not only believe in you, push you, because they know you could do so much more than what you're doing… really amazing things happen."

[31:18] Higher Standard

"The difference is, our parent's generation, our grandparent's generation… Women didn't really have bank accounts, and money, and dreams, and so you know, when somebody came a long and there was too many red flags… they accepted it."

[39:05] Side Hustles

"There's no shame in doing what you gotta do to pay your bills and get your bread-and-butter while following your dreams."

[41:49] Doing What You Love

"My biggest piece of advice to anyone that makes content is 'if it's not fun, it's a wrap'."

[47:12] Current and Future Plans

"I'm never gonna stop doing covers, those make me really happy, so I got a few more of those coming out."

In this episode, we are joined by Kristen Cipriano — spiritual mindset coach, manifestation expert, and mentor to female CEOs, as she gives us an insight on being more aware of habits in order to have a successful business, navigating between the ups and downs of our income, and how faith could actually help our business. We also speak about why our manifestations must be for all, and how Somatics and Energetics has led her towards profound healing.

[4:54] The Catalyst

"I started to recognize, okay, there's more to the story, there's more to what's going on in my business, there's more to what's going on with money, even more to what's going on with myself."

[8:30] Triggers

"In business, you're in a situation where you're completely in charge of what happens, so for a lot of us, that could give us a compromise safety and security."

[12:32] Being Regulated

"Now I finally feel like 'I know who I am, I know what I stand for, I know what's me, I know what's not me, and I could actually navigate through life, business, money in a much more aware way'."

[19:03] Unpredictability of Income

"I had these really high expensive cash months that were really empowering when I looked back on them, but I had to look at like: Okay, why is this only happening sometimes and not all the time?"

[26:07] Trusting What You Couldn't See

"The thing with the divine, as I understand it and experienced it, is it can't help us unless we open the door and invite it to. So ask for help."

[32:14] Proper Manifestation

"When we don't trust something, we try to control it… When we're in that controlling state, manifestation could be really hard, because you're putting all the work on yourself. You're not leaning back to trust. You're not letting the divine actually help you."

[39:04] Co-dependency

"That's why we could stay stuck in a cycle, cause it's like we're trying to heal that pattern, but no one is ever actually meeting us in a way we need to be met."

[48:43] Mutualism

"Our healing journey doesn't just impact us; it impacts the future generations, and everyone around us, and even the people that don't know us that just observe us in our life."

[50:35] Somatics and Energetics

"Sometimes we can't label why we're reacting a certain way because it's not up in the mind; it's happening in the body."

[57:47] Breaking the Pattern

"That's a bit part of what healing is, it's like you're in the pattern, and if you have enough awareness to at least say 'I am not going there anymore'… that could be enough to start the healing process. You can't even get there if you don't recognize that you're worthy of more."
