LET'S PLAY: THE CREATE PODCAST

Isn’t interesting to watch when people get into mindsets that are locked and fixed? Isn’t fascinating how there a tendency to say “this is how it is?” But there is huge power in being willing to see things with an open mind, to be willing to stretch our definitions of what is possible, and realize that there is more than one way to look at something. Just as we construct a narrative, there is power in also deconstructing that narrative. From a place of spaciousness and openness, we can see what else is possible!!

Sometimes angels can appear right in front of you and remind you that you always have a choice — to have Faith in Fear or have Faith in Faith. This week we talk about our own Divine Messengers and that ultimate decision to believe in something bigger than ourselves. We explore the definitions of Faith and what they mean to us. We also talk about the power of belief, being led by our own inner voice, and how we learn who (and what) to listen to. The teachers are all around us and the guru is always speaking.

Later in his life, Albert Einstein wrote to a dear friend of his "People like you and me never grow old. We never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born.” This week we talk about the power and the presence that comes from meeting life with a child-like awe. If you are feeling like things are getting frustrating, stale, or confusing, maybe now is the time to bring the essence of awe to all that is.

This week is a doozy! It was inspired from a reading given to us entitled “Using Others to Stop Your Pain.” Yep. Sometimes we don’t even realize that we are looking to others to be the source of our happiness or to stop our pain. Focusing back on ourselves shows us the place of our personal power and enables us to find real solutions as well as true joy.

Some of the things that we are struggling with in this lifetime are part of a family heritage, a lineage passed down over time. In fact, many of us picked the family line we did because there was a subject we wanted to study — addiction, anxiety, financial stress, low self-esteem, failure, etc. What can be FREEING is to recognize that these patterns or wounds are part of our family system. They aren’t “ours” but we inherited them because we wanted to study them. We had a STRONG DESIRE to come to the planet and HEAL them in ourselves, to stop the generational pass-down, to teach them, and to free ourselves and others.

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?
