Do you ever wish you could be more connected? Do your defenses get in the way of your connection? In this week's episode, Kali and Bernice talk about how it became so apparent over the last Empowerment weekend that we are all searching for connection but how we can't truly experience it until we let our defenses down. But, we are terrified! They explore an incident that happened during their time in L.A. that really brought this whole concept to light!

Ooh, ouch! How comfortable are you with physical discomfort? In our modern age, physical discomfort isn't part of the paradigm anymore. Now, this is NOT about chronic pain, this is about the discomfort you feel when you use your body physically! Why are we so comfortable with mental and emotional discomfort, but not with physical discomfort? This week, Kali and Bernice explore, both in Oula and in the industrialized world, how humans have the luxury to tap out when things get hard.

This week's podcast was inspired by Brene Brown's Netflix special, A Call to Courage. One of the most fascinating parts of this talk to Kali and Bernice was the concept of joy! They explore their own relationship with joy and, like 95% of folks Brene researched, how problematic it is because they always keep the darkness so close. They go on to talk about their desire to stay in the light more often by focusing on gratitude, presence and joy.

This week, Kali and Bernice discuss a topic that has come up a lot recently about inclusiveness and creating safe spaces in Oula for people of all walks of life. They refer to an email sent by a listener and dive into some really interesting questions, one of the biggest being whether by being overly inclusive, we are actually using our own judgment and biases and may mistakenly be excluding those we wish to include! They offer tips on how to practice being more inclusive as an instructor and participant.

In this week's podcast, Kali and Bernice honor the lessons that spring teaches us - after death comes rebirth. Transitions are painful for many of us so we cling to situations that are no longer working, relationships that are no longer healthy, and lives that are no longer meant for us. They explore the beauty of letting go so that you can open the door to all that awaits you.

No, we don't mean the "greatest hits" of our lives, we mean the pain, the suffering, the recurring patterns of frustration and discontent. What if we viewed these moments as opportunities for growth and insight on our paths towards contentment. Bernice and Kali contemplate this idea and share our personal stories with truth and humor and how they can serve our evolution if we can accept them rather than fight them.

After a profoundly moving weekend in Portland, Maine, Kali and Bernice talk about the struggle we all have in describing Oula. They talk about how this weekend they were witches with their coven and they participated in Demon Wrestling 101. They also honor the women who have come before them and have been burned at the stake for what was considered crazy, but was most likely just women stepping into their full power. What is OULA? Take a listen.
