Four episodes in and it feels like time to introduce myself! 

In this episode I share a little about who I am, what I love, who I appreciate, and what inspires me.

I touch on the effects of COVID-19 for myself and for humanity as a whole.

I also try - and stumble - to talk about learning how to be an anti-racist when I had thought I already was one, and how I'm sure I'm totally screwing it up.

Mostly I talk about love, my journey to loving myself, and the fact that you deserve to love yourself and live the most fulfilling life you possibly can.

If you feel called to leave a review, I will be ever so grateful. Reviews help create better visibility for podcast shows and I want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to connect with and learn from my guests in each episode. Thank you.

My friend Eva Peterson left her corporate architecture job in NYC three years ago to embark on a life of travel. As much as Eva loved traveling, she craved grounding and a sense of purpose. She didn't want to just see the world, she wanted to contribute to it in a massive way and build something meaningful! So, her life coaching business was born. She now helps other soulful, free spirited entrepreneurs build solid foundations so that they can experience exponential self growth and career success. Eva says she helps long term travelers align with their intuition, root out self doubt, embrace fear, and make massive progress towards their dreams. She believes that true freedom can only be attained by knowing exactly who we are and what our purpose is here on earth!

In our conversation we talk about shifting from the corporate world to living a “location independent” lifestyle, what Coronavirus precautions look like in Peru, feminine flow, masculine vs feminine energy, and holding your identity with an open palm. We also talk about why, as white women, we’re not necessarily ready to talk about BLM on a public platform...but we couldn’t actually have our conversation without talking about this important issue.

Some of Eva’s favorite books include Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson, and anything by Elizabeth Gilbert.

This is the one of the books Eva is reading to educate herself on syste

mic racism: Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor by Layla F. Saad

My guest on this episode is Katie Maloney author of the book Cake Pops and Coffee: A New Conversation About Trauma; How to Laugh, Cry, and Love Your Whole Story. 

 I have to admit that I’ve looked through podcast episodes before for something to listen to, and when I’ve seen an episode that is going to cover any aspect of abuse, particularly sexual abuse, I’ve thought No way am I going to go there - I don’t need anything heavy or depressing or yucky, and I choose something else. So while you are of course always welcome to choose to listen or not listen, I invite you to try the first 15 minutes of this episode before making your choice, because the way Katie talks about trauma is different. Katie concentrates on the fact that you can move forward from trauma and learn to live a beautiful life. She shares what she has learned about identity awareness, setting standards for yourself, and learning how to receive. Katie is an author, speaker, and trauma survivor coach, and her goal is to remove some of the heaviness around conversations about trauma and to start new conversations that feel the way I felt when reading her book - like I was in conversation with a cherished friend. I did not experience abuse myself but wow have I learned and grown from the tools Katie shares in her book. Katie is changing the way we talk about sexual assault, dispelling the stigmas, and bringing to light the powerful joys of healing your story. This conversation may be triggering for some of you, which I completely understand -  I send you love around your own trauma experience. If you need help, I deeply encourage you to find someone to talk to whether it be a friend, a therapist, or a coach.

Connected Conversations

A podcast by Kirsten Roberts

My guest in this episode, Anna Nyeste, believes that the only thing that limits us from living the life of our dreams is a lack of imagination and the failure to believe we have always been, and will always be, enough, exactly as we are. Anna considers herself a lifelong student and studies yoga, mindbody medicine, spirituality, business, psychology, philosophy, healing, mental health, relationships, energy work, and much more. She has healed her Self - with a capital S - from chronic pain, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and many other labels that were given to her, in her words, without her permission. Anna is a self-care coach who teaches people how to take care of their whole Selves - again with a capital S. Every time she speaks I learn something new and am inspired to step up my game and live my best life. We’ve only known each other for a few months but we know we’re soul sisters - and I know you’re gonna love her too.

Here’s the book Anna read that changed her life: The Mindbody Prescription: Healing the Body, Healing the Pain by Dr. John Sarno
