Cocoanut Grove

This week, Katie and Ashleigh discuss the Female Gaze! What is it, what are examples of it, and how is it different from the Male Gaze? They discuss what they find attractive in a partner, the types of men and women portrayed in mainstream media, and why The Female Gaze is so hard to define. Is it even real, or just something made up by feminist media?

This week, Katie and Ashleigh talk Hypnotherapy! Yeah, you know, like "you are getting sleepy", but actually not. They are joined by Hypnotherapist Elisa Reale who helps us understand the importance of this practice, how it applies to everyday life, and how it's not as scary or questionable as it might sound. Elisa even gives us a trial experience while she guides us through the beginning stages of hypnosis. Other areas of discussion around this topic are: goal setting, perfectionism, manifestation, brain waves, and the difference between hypnosis and a guided meditation.

In past episodes, we've touched on Spirituality through the lens of whatever the topic was. This week, we thought we'd dive deeper into what Spirituality is, what it means for the individual versus collective, and how to manifest your dream life. Katie and Ashleigh are joined by Andi Eaton of OuiWeGirl. Andi is a Soul Coach, sharing practices she learned along her spiritual journey, encouraging others to make their deepest desires a reality. Join us for this episode to hear her story, learn what meditation practices are out there, how to utilize a vision board, the power of journaling, and the difference physical space can make in your subconscious.

*NOTE* Thank you for your patience last week while we took an unexpected break. Our episodes will resume as normal.

This week Ashleigh and Katie start their weekly conversation out with a little real talk about social media and plastic surgery. Will Instagram always feel performative? Then they are joined by anti-diet coach MaKenzie Costley to discuss diet-culture, intuitive eating, and food freedom. MaKenzie tells her personal story of being a health and fitness coach and realizing she was on the wrong path and how that led her to teaching women to stop restricting. Listen to what a "win" sounds like for her clients, and why "what I eat in a day" videos can be detrimental.

This week Ashleigh and Katie get into the New Year’s spirit this week, quite literally, with the timely topic of the “Alcohol-free Movement”. This week's guest is Karolina Rzadowolska, an alcohol-free wellness coach, entrepreneur and best selling author of the book “Euphoric: Ditch Alcohol and Gain a Happier, More Confident You”. Karolina walks us through the shocking facts about America’s relationship to alcohol and ask us to challenge that narrative. She is an inspiring and empowered female leader that is breaking the norm and helping women and men to reach their highest potential, free from alcohol, or any other crutch they feel is holding them back. Karolina gives us the deep dive on those first steps as well as a look at what a life free of alcohol can look like. Learn more about Karolina’s path and how you can self actualize too - or just join us for the mocktails, but be sure to get on board and listen. We know this is just the start of a huge movement hitting America in 2022, so be one of the first to check it out. 

If you would like to support Karolina or you want to know more about her coaching please check her out online at: https://euphoricaf.com
