Oscar Wilde said "Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret." This week we are talking all about travel and the major lessons it has taught us. Get ready for lots of our favorite stories from abroad as we recount our past adventures! Our next big trip to Florence is coming soon and we are already diving into this summer's theme: EXPANSION!

This week we are talking about ANGER! Yes! Anger! And how there is such value in expressing those emotions that we aren't always encouraged to explore. We talk about why it's important not to push feelings away and the wisdom that comes when we allow ourself to embody what is. We also talk about how to process disappointment and how getting our heart broken is part of being an authentic, soulful artist.

It's another podcast! Guess what? Natalie has had a little visitor. A tiny furry visitor in her apartment. And now she has a story for us! We talk about  learning to identify our own needs, not putting our "savior" outside of ourselves, and creating a secure environment for ourselves,  AND... this is the first podcast that you can watch the video of!

This week's special guest is Natalie's sweet baby girl, Elena! And just like a newborn needs love, care, attention, and nurturing, so does every single one of us. This week Natalie and Kristin talk about how to ask the question "What does my body need?" and to tune in for the answers, everyday and moment by moment. As we can feel the calls and pressures of life, how does each one of us slow down to take care of the precious one inside first. Yes, first, not after all the things are done. We also talk about the sacred gift of life and how attuning to ourselves, our bodies, and our relationships is part of honoring it.

This week, Natalie and Kristin answer questions from the CREATE community on all sorts of different topics -- balance, self-confidence, and audacity. They also have a blast making each other laugh as they catch up, and dive into how we can create space for all of the feelings as they emerge. Natalie blows Kristin's mind when she drops this valuable tool: "the thing I'm trying to avoid feeling is..." We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording! 

This week, we are back to podcasting after Natalie's maternity leave! She shares her birth story with us, and what she has learned in her process as a mother so far. We expand the conversation to what it is to "mother" in the creative sense, and how birthing something new in the world takes a deep inner listening. We discuss the obstacles that arise as we bring anything to life. We also talk about loving and trusting the creation as we learn how to love and trust ourselves.

When our minds get into obsession about something or someone, what is that telling us about ourselves? This week we talk about why the mind wants to leave the present moment, and the tricky ways we avoid feeling our pain. We also talk about how our creativity wants to be utilized here and now, and how our deep emotions are asking for acceptance and expression.

Fasten your seatbelts, friends, we are talking about shame this week! Where is the unlikely place that shame shows up? And what are our triggers trying to reveal to us about what we are believing? We go on to discuss our inherent value and worthiness as human beings, exactly as we are, and we dive into the messages that our habits and behaviors are communicating to our sweet inner child. It's a full packed episode this week!

We are talking about personal evolution on this podcast and where it's taking us!  We explore how our individual choices demonstrate our values. And how our values are unique to each one of us and our purpose on the planet. Also, as we explore deeper into evolving consciousness, we dive into the awakening process that is happening in the world and inside each one of us. The process is natural: just as our bodies are self-healing, so is our growth. Rest and stillness allows us to feel and sense what is arising from within. What's next? We are choosing it as it is also unfolding from our very nature.
