Connected Conversations with Kirsten

A Meditation for Body Awareness

In this episode I share my thoughts about meditation and my belief that there really are no “rules” around how to meditate. This includes the idea that you can’t meditate with distractions around you, which is why I recorded this episode outside on my patio with my dogs. Life is distracting, and that’s real.

This meditation focuses on body awareness as we bring the breath from the feet up through the body to the top of the head. As humans we tend to spend a lot of time in our heads, focusing on a running monologue of what we perceive is happening in our lives. A healthy response to this is to connect with the body. Your body is wise and knows what you need. Let’s tune in as we meditate together.

xo, Kirsten

Visual of wholeness - forefinger tips touching plus thumb tips touching creates a circle and when the two people separate they need to find something/someone else to fill in the gap. With forefinger and thumb making a circle on separate hands, then connect, when the connection is broken there’s a smaller gap to fill. The idea is that you need to be whole in yourself.

In this episode I am delighted to have a conversation with Chelsea Kyle. We talk about gut health, green burial, creating space, and - one of my favorite topics - bees!

Chelsea Kyle is a spiritual guide, death doula, wellness advocate, entrepreneur, and author. Chelsea helps people through the many shifts of life.

She jumps out of bed with a big smile on her face because her clients are finding their unique purpose and healing from the inside out. This is more than a job, she is on a mission to empower people to be the best they can be in their bodies and their soul. She knows that when one beeing is at their best the whole colony benefits!

Please subscribe to my podcast and leave a review - especially when you feel drawn to inviting others in, as this is the best way to ensure every human has the opportunity to feel more connected. 

My friend Natalie Neckyfarow (actress, writer, coach, pilates instructor, and much more!) offered to interview me for an episode of my podcast. I hadn't thought of being interviewed!

We have a fun, real, open conversation about who I am as a person, woman, mother, wife, and life coach. 

In this episode I have the opportunity to speak from the heart about my gifts and challenges, what has shaped me into the person I am today, who inspires me, and what my coaching programs can offer for you. 

Connection is one of my top values so I always do my best to operate from the questions, "Who can I connect with today?" and "How have I connected with others today?"

I'm sure you will feel connected through my authenticity and the love that continually seeps out through my very skin.

My guest in this episode, ST Rappaport, is Relationship Photographer, Creative Journal Expressive Arts Coach,s and host of the LifePix Relationships Podcast. After observing, listening, and connecting with so many couples, ST is on a mission to find out what makes relationships work and how they can become extraordinary, and she is here to help as many couples as possible. 

In our conversation, we talk about using a photograph as a relationship vision board, a new (to me!) way of journaling, the act of being yourself, the question Who Am I?, and ST’s unusual journey with school. I get vulnerable as I share the results of my own personal journaling using the tool ST teaches. And yes, you will hear my dogs in the background. One of the reasons I love being home is that my work is naturally more organic than it may be otherwise. It’s all real, and that’s what life is about.

I know you’ll find nuggets of connection with ST in our conversation. She is fun to talk to and we simply enjoyed each other’s company.

*Note: When listening to this episode on iTunes, you'll find that the audio cuts out beginning at 48:50, and resumes at 49:30. If you listen on Spotify, you'll hear the entire audio; I'm not sure what's happening with the iTunes version. In this "empty space", Ioanna speaks about a webinar she presented at the American College of Greece, on Feminine Leadership and the importance of connection, authenticity, vulnerability (Hello, Brene Brown!), and the benefits of doing what you love.*

My guest on this episode, Ioanna Margaroni, is a good friend of mine and is also a Life Coach and Soul Realignment ® practitioner who is, in her words, “on a mission to empower people to remember who they truly are on a Soul level, fall deeply in love with themselves and manifest what they want in life.”

Ioanna specializes in working with women so they can learn to live in alignment with their Soul’s calling by tapping into their unique gifts and true nature of prosperity.

As we connect in this episode, we talk about life energy, knowing yourself, akashic records, crystal therapy, and the connection concept of, as Ioanna puts it, “tend and befriend.”

This conversation left me feeling centered, seen, held, fulfilled, complete, quiet…

Ioanna just has that way about her. So - enjoy.
