Our Natalie is now an American Citizen!!! This week Kristin interviews Natalie about the process of becoming a citizen, what she learned, and who she became as the process unfolded. We also talk about separation and judgement — on the global scale as well as the individual scale, and how we can notice and heal those places inside ourselves.

What is our responsibility to life? To many of us, “responsibility" is a BIG word. Maybe even a heavy word!! It can carry ideas of doing what we don’t want to do… being in a state of obligation. But what if our true responsibility to life is to be one with this present moment? To be one with what Existence is asking for? As we learn to respond from a deeper place, rather than react in fear to life… we can feel a great inner oneness with all that is.

What if the new measure of success, wasn’t how much money you made, things you achieved, or followers you had on social media?? What if the NEW MEASURE of success is HOW MUCH FUN YOU ARE HAVING?? Can you imagine if you spent your day focused on fun, on getting the juice out of the moment, on appreciating those around you? What if you turned the tables on the standards of the world and took a stand for JOY being the barometer of your life?

This week we interview our soul sister and actress/playwright Maddie Corman about her process in developing her solo show “ACCIDENTALLY BRAVE.” We talk about the courage it takes to create from vulnerability, how to tell our own story, and why we “take our broken hearts and turn it into art.” We love Maddie so much, and we can’t wait to share her with you!!

It is very easy to judge our emotions. We want to categorize them or label them as “good" or “bad.” The truth is, we are sentient beings. Our nature is to feel. We have a capacity to CREATE through our emotions powerfully. How do we learn to develop a NEW RELATIONSHIP with ourselves and our feelings so they can be our friend in the process?

We want to keep our mess hidden. It’s human nature. We don’t want anyone else to see what we don’t think is “perfect.” We were taught that people judge by appearances and that its important to LOOK like we have it all together. But what if we were taught that the MESS is where the JUICE is? It’s our passion. It’s our path. It’s what we incarnate for… What if the MESS is where all the good stuff is? This week we talk about EMBRACING OUR MESS, and letting it become OUR MESSAGE!!

When life doesn’t make sense, or things seem challenging or confusing, often we want to start DOING something. But sometime Life is telling us… “Shhh, what you’ve been doing ISN’T working. There is something I want to SHOW you. Slow down. Stop. Wait. Watch.” In this way we are being called to STOP, and to meet whatever discomfort arises with compassion and curiosity. This week we talk about the important of Stillness and Silence when there’s something new that wants to be born into our lives.

We’ve all had moments when we feel that we are cut off from who we really are, what we stand for, or what we came here to do. But how often is it because we are allowing some circumstance or some person be the reason that we let go off our peace, joy, abundance, success, or happiness? We give our power away when we become prisoners to our circumstance or our negative perspective. This week we talk about our true Power Source and how to tap into energy... regardless of the world in form. It is that moment where we can truly see how powerful we are.

You guys!!! It’s our 100th episode!!! Can you believe it!?! And to celebrate, we are having our BIGGEST CRUSH stop by to visit the podcast! Meet writer, philosopher, and storyteller Pete Rollins who hung out and spoke about the events in our lives that transform everything, meeting our strangeness, and the pleasure of the struggle.

“What do I do with my anxiety?” Have you ever asked this question? Have you ever felt that anxiety was keeping you from truly enjoying your life? Our friend Kristen Bell talks about building a tool kit of methods to deal with anxiety, and how even exploring and befriending your anxiety can be a spiritual path in life.
