As a natural-born seeker, Tory Junkin broke the mold by leaving the big city of Chicago and her family business that she was born into and expected to uphold, to live a simpler and fulfilling life in Bend, Oregon.  We are so lucky to hear Tory’s brave story of facing her demons by getting sober, doing deep healing work, and not shying away from the sometimes-painful truth in order to find freedom.

 She has found a way to make her life an expression of philanthropy, which she defines as "the love of humanity.” Tory has discovered she enjoys doing foundation work with her mom and sister and finding a lot of joy in seeing her dad's legacy benefit others. Her philanthropic work supports helping women in India stay out of the sex trade business, Planned Parenthood, new policies to support sustainability and the environment, and help alleviate some of the challenges families face with a child who has cerebral palsy, a cause very close to Tory’s her heart.

 As a woman, mother, wife, meditator, Sufi healer, Oregonian, privileged, cis-gendered, sober, friend, and lastly, but most importantly, french bulldog lover Tory enlightens us all on what she describes as “waking the fuck up” in order to step into your life to ultimately find more truth, freedom, and love!

Today we are talking to the tenacious and creative storyteller Kylie Slavik.  Through her own healing journey, she has transformed 20 years of addiction into generating more than $23 million in revenue for her clients through one of her greatest passions in life - storytelling.

In this episode, we talk about how Kylie became a highly sought-after copywriter and brand storyteller in the transformation space. But first, we take a deep dive into her journey through drug and alcohol addiction, the spiritual path that led her through it (including meeting Jesus on a boat – yes, you read that correctly!), and how her own transformation has helped her transform the lives of her clients through the power of storytelling.

Kylie is the Director of Storytelling & Brand Development at Conscious Marketer, the #1 launch agency in the spiritual and transformation market.  She has helped thousands of entrepreneurs in the conscious marketing space shine their light and get their messages out into the world.

I have worked with her professionally and can vouch for what an incredible storyteller, mentor, and overall badass she is.  But one of my favorite things about Kylie is her tenacity and courage to continue showing up, not only as a woman but as a human being.

Join us for this spirited and spiritual conversation as we bond over “mystical Catholicism”, how to inspire people through stories, and the belief that every single one of us truly matters.

Rhonda Britten became an orphan at fourteen when she was the sole witness to the tragedy that no child should have to witness. This traumatic experience led Rhonda down a path of three suicide attempts, three DUI’s, addiction, and spending time in jail.  When she woke up from her third failed suicide attempt, she knew she had to find the answer to her pain, or she'd stay forever stuck in a spiral of depression, suicidal thoughts, and addiction forever.

After looking for relief in therapy and searching for answers in books, she found that she still believed that no matter what she did or how hard she tried, she couldn't overcome her past. But one day she started putting gold star stickers on a piece of cardboard when she accomplished a small task, and it was this exercise that not only set her free but led her down a path of success that she never could have imagined.  

 This simple yet life-altering method was the beginning of a successful coaching program called Fearless Living that has helped thousands of people.  Rhonda established The Fearless Living Institute in 1995. It hosts book groups, online courses, in-person experiential workshops, “Fearless You” membership, and certifies Fearless Living Life Coaches and trainers based on Rhonda's teachings. The Fearless Living Life Coach Certification Program is considered the Ivy League of Life Coaching Training.

Rhonda is also an Emmy Award-winner, four-time Bestselling author, Repeat Oprah guest, TEDx Speaker, and has devoted her life to one thing: teaching people how to master fear. 

 Rhonda was the first Life Coach on television on the show, "Help Me, Rhonda." She is also known for her work on the hit NBC reality show "Starting Over." After all her success celebrities came calling, and she joined the cast of "Celebrity Fit Club." She has also been interviewed on “Steve Harvey,” and “The Early Show.”

 To date, she has been featured in Good Housekeeping, London Sunday Times and The New York Times heralded her as "America's Favorite Life Coach.” 

 Oh, and if that is not enough Marianne Williamson, the author of A Course in Miracles said, "Rhonda Britten has risen from the ashes of genuine catastrophe. She has seen the deepest darkness and found her way beyond it. Hers was not an easy path by any means. What she has accomplished within herself, and now helps others to accomplish as well is nothing short of miraculous."

 And today she is with us on Cracking Open to teach resiliency, empower growth and be a deep example of still being able to love.

From overcoming a high school football injury that almost left Philip Henderson paralyzed we learn about how one's life can change in an instant.  It was this challenging experience that motivated Philip to find his passion in the outdoor industry for over three decades as a member and team leader of the North Face/National Geographic Everest Education Expedition, became one of few African Americans to summit Denali in 2013, and led an all African American ascent of Mt Kilimanjaro in 2018.

Philip's passion for the outdoors not only led him up some of the highest mountains in the world but inspired him to create the Full Circle Everest Team Expedition up Everest in March of 2022.

This expedition will showcase the tenacity and strength of these climbers, and highlight the barriers that continue to exist for Black communities in accessing the outdoors. This historic attempt will inspire the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, educators, leaders, and mountaineers of color to continue chasing their personal summits. 

By listening to Philip's story get ready to become more motivated, moved, and receive some much-needed life lessons on how believing in oneself cannot not only move your own soul but the soul of others.

On today’s podcast, we hear from trailblazer, Ann Schatz – the first female sports broadcaster in the Portland area and the voice of the National Women’s Soccer League team, the Portland Thorns. Ann recalls the love and never-ending support from her parents and five siblings as they encouraged her to pursue her dreams as an athlete. She tells us about the pain of losing her parents while maintaining a secret so deep she was afraid to reveal it to anyone. Having been unconditionally supported growing up, Ann was able to pull deep from her soul to still hear her mom and dad – you can do anything, just be committed – as she pursued her passion in a male-dominated field. Hear about how fans, viewers, athletes, and coaches dealt with this new and non-traditional voice in sports.

Settle in and listen to Ann’s amazing journey, her secret revealed, and the path she forged for women in sports broadcasting.

This week's episode is one I don't think you will ever forget. I am talking with the incredibly inspirational Jodie Patterson.  

Jodie Patterson is an author, activist, beauty explorer, and mother of five. She holds the position of Chair of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation Board, our nation’s largest LGBT organization. she sits on the Board of Directors for The Shabazz Center - which upholds the legacy and teachings of Malcolm X, as well as the Mount Sinai’s Institute for Health Equity Research Task Force, the Advisory Board of the Ackerman Institute’s Gender & Family Project, and Mount Sinai’s Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery Advisory Board. The United Nations recognized Patterson as a Champion of Change.

Today we talk about her children, the role of being a mother (can this include having sex on the kitchen counter?) Most profound is her story of when her three-year-old son announced “Mama I’m not a girl. I’m a boy.” From that moment on, Jodie set out to inform herself, shift her own bias and change the way her community understood gender. 

Patterson chronicled that journey in her memoir, The Bold World: A Memoir of Family and Transformation - hailed by Alice Walker as “Marvelous”.

Simply put Jodie is a true badass, teacher, and a voice we should all be listening to if we really want to experience freedom.
