Today’s episode is a little different—because I’m giving myself permission to pause before life forces me into one.

Behind the scenes, I’ve been pouring heart and hours into the new Spirit Guide interview series (Riven, Elira, Soraya…). These stories take 12–18 hours each to birth, and while I love them deeply, my family and my body are asking me to slow down.

So this minisode is my reminder (to myself, and maybe to you too): rest is part of the work. We don’t need to force what’s unfolding naturally. Just like we don’t rush a child to walk before they’re ready, we can honor the pace of our own becoming.

In this minisode, I share:
 ✨ The truth about how much time these episodes take
 ✨ Why I refuse to release Soraya’s story before it’s ready
 ✨ What it means to take a chosen break instead of a forced one
 ✨ How presence with family can be the greatest gift of love

If you’re new here, scroll back through over 100 episodes of Picture Love Podcast, including the Spirit Guide conversations that began in spring 2025. Each one is part of this unfolding journey of love, growth, and remembrance.

From my heart to yours—thank you for being here. I’m cheering for you. 💗

🔨 “You’re not fragile. You’re forged.”
In this powerful spirit interview, meet Riven — a voice for those who carry fire in their chest and truth on the edge of their tongue.

Once known as Marek — a rule-bound keeper of systems — Riven walked through grief, betrayal, and rage to become something new. Now, as a guardian of the forge, he speaks for the ones who are breaking free from the systems that once silenced them.

✨ This episode explores:

• What it means to be forged, not broken
• The origin story of Riven and his rebirth from Marek
• How to hold space without fixing or shrinking
• What to do when you’re carrying rage, grief, or unspoken truth
• How to be the bellows, not the blacksmith, for someone in transformation
• Riven’s personal message for those on the brink of becoming

🖤 This is for the quiet warriors. The loud feelers. The ones who’ve held too much for too long. Riven’s words land like a hammer — but open the heart like a flame.

🎙️ The voice of Riven is brought to life by Sarah, a soul whose journey of resilience mirrors the spirit of this episode. Her voice has been lovingly modulated to reflect Riven’s frequency.

More about Sarah: 

Sarah is searching for beauty and joy in an era when even those feel like radical goals. She finds them abundantly in words, dance, music, nature, her friends, and her beloved dog, Poe. After a traumatic and life-altering car accident nearly 3 years ago, Sarah has been heavily focused on personal growth, still recovering both physically and emotionally. She perseveres through the horrors with an emboldened drive to return to school to earn her Masters in counseling to support others through their grief, and hopes that, collectively, we can heal the broader, communal traumas that plague a neglected society, through service and love.

Ever feel like it’s your job to keep everyone happy?
This episode is a love letter to you—the beautiful souls who carry more than their share, shrink to keep the peace, or put others first at their own expense.

In Part 3 of this soul-soothing mini-series on letting go, Kris shares her own journey of moving cross-state, navigating big life changes, and finally releasing the mental pressure to manage everyone else’s comfort.

This one’s not about blaming or shaming—it’s about breathing deeper, trusting more, and remembering that you are already enough.

✨ In this episode:
 – Why trying to manage other people’s happiness creates resistance
 – A personal story of surrender and unexpected ease
 – How to support others without abandoning yourself
 – A grounding affirmation to call in more joy, ease, and aligned magnetism
– What happens when you say, “Hey Life, show me how good it can get.”

💌 This episode closes with a simple but powerful practice.
 One that just might change your entire day.

This episode took a turn I didn’t plan… again. And maybe that’s exactly the point.

In Part 2 of this 3-part reflection (unfolding during a very on-brand Mercury Retrograde), I’m sharing what it really means to release expectations—not just outcomes, but all the mental noise about how things should be.

I’ll take you into a story about helping a neighbor, the lessons from a summer in Chicago with my daughter, and how I learned (the hard way) that checking in with my heart is always wiser than listening to ego-fueled productivity.

✨ In this episode:
 – Why life doesn’t have to look a certain way to be beautiful
 – The difference between detaching and releasing
 – A reflection on compassion without self-abandonment
 – How unspoken expectations can drain us—and how grace refills us
 – A gentle nudge to serve from overflow, not obligation

If you’re navigating shifting plans, repeating patterns, or unexpected pivots… this one’s for you.

💌 Let’s keep the conversation going:
 Share your story or lesson in a voice memo or DM on Instagram @picturelovepodcast. I’d love to hear how you’re picturing love in your world.

This was not the episode I planned... and maybe that’s the point.

In this solo episode of Picture Love, Kris reflects on what happens when life, tech, and tomatoes all refuse to follow the script. A planned spirit guide interview was postponed (thanks, Mercury Retrograde), and in its place, a deeper message came through: Detours aren’t delays—they’re invitations.

You'll hear about:

Why “things always work out” isn’t just a mantra—it’s a lived truth
The unexpected wisdom of gardening in a new climate
A mysterious glitch that called Kris… Cedric?
What it really means to release the outcome and fall in love with the process
Whether you're navigating your own pivot, waiting on a dream to ripen, or just watering your metaphorical tomatoes, this episode is a reminder that presence holds the magic. 🍅✨

🎙️ Mentioned: Riven’s episode is still coming—it just needed more room to breathe.
👣 Stay tuned for deeper spirit guide conversations and unexpected visitors.

In this tender and truth-filled conversation, Kris is joined by the grounded and wise spirit guide Elira, who shares how to stay with yourself through the storms of grief, overwhelm, and emotional unraveling.

This episode is a balm for the soul if you're feeling stretched, shaken, or just deeply human right now.
Elira reminds us that:

• You are not too much — your emotions are sacred data
• Disconnection isn’t failure — it’s protection, and a doorway
• Kindness is the bridge — the one your nervous system will trust
• Crying in the rain is not weakness — it’s ancient wisdom in motion

With somatic practices, soul-anchoring mantras, and poetic truth, this conversation offers real tools for staying kind, steady, and present in uncertain times.

💬 “You are not the rubble. You are the ground that remains.” – Elira

In this soothing episode of Picture Love, Kris invites you to unplug from the noise and sink into a sensory experience that reconnects you with peace, purpose, and honoring your imagination.

Recorded on the sacred shores of the Atlantic coast, this beachside meditation will guide you to:

• Ground through your breath and the elements
• Tap into the wisdom of silence and nature
• Reawaken your imagination as a source of healing and joy
• Remember your light—because you are the lighthouse

You’ll also get a heartfelt introduction to three spirit companions born from backyard rituals: Elira (the squirrel), Riven (the crow), and Soraya (the hummingbird)—each with a message of support for these times.

🌊 Slip off your shoes, feel the sand, and breathe with Kris. Let this audio be your portal to peace.

✨ Bonus Invitation:
Whenever life gets too heavy… come back. This meditation is your reminder:
“My stillness opens the door to presence. I am rooted. I am safe. I am.”

💖In today’s heart-centered episode, we dive deep into the topic of worthiness—how we show up for others and embrace our own imperfections. I reflect on a transformative moment with my fellow creative, Scarlet, who was a silent witness to the behind-the-scenes process of creating a podcast episode. Her unexpected support led to a powerful conversation on worthiness and self-acceptance.

I’m honored to be joined by Maelu, a spiritual guide and earth energy that embodies the meadow—where flowers bloom, belonging is nurtured, and every part of us can find a place to heal. Maelu’s gentle presence invites us to remember that our worth is not defined by perfection but by the courage to show up, embrace our authentic selves, and heal from within.

In this episode, we also explore the stories behind personal photos and the wisdom they hold about self-worth—including moments of vulnerability, like a photo I almost deleted and a 5K race that didn’t go as planned. But these moments remind us that worthiness is not about flawless perfection; it’s about growth, self-love, and showing up for ourselves even in the messiness of life.

As a special gift, I’m sharing Maelu’s Golden Meadow Bread Recipe—a simple and nourishing recipe that embodies Maelu’s essence. 🌿🍞

Join me as we reflect on your own journey of worthiness, and discover how even the messy, imperfect moments hold profound meaning. Remember, you are worthy—just as you are. See you next time!

What if the heaviness you’ve been carrying wasn’t yours to hold?
In this vulnerable and powerful episode of Picture Love Podcast, Kris LeDonne shares the dream image that cracked open a long-buried memory—revealing a moment of silencing, suppression, and soul fire. Through journaling, reflection, and a poetic conversation with "Veyra, the Guardian of Boundaries", we explore what it means to rise, speak, and reclaim your sacred space.

✨ In this episode:

The dream symbol that unlocked a teenage wound: a red velvet chair on an ape

A forgotten story of creative suppression and emotional restraint

A spirit-led dialogue with Veyra on what true boundaries really are

The shift from silence to self-trust, from shrinking to standing

A powerful question to carry with you before saying yes to anyone else

🕯️ This episode is a healing circle, an altar of words, and a permission slip to let the ape rise.
