In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing on sovereignty and power.

In the world today we can see two things happening in contrast to each other. A rise in fear and a rise in love.

Which means what we’re witnessing, is people giving up their sovereignty as a result of being consumed by the fear narrative. There is a lack of trust in the self and trust in our own innate soul wisdom and power.

It also means that we are also seeing people activated into their light. We are seeing people being called to and stepping into their power and their sovereignty, and reconnecting with the truth that above all else, they can trust themselves.

This episode is meant to remind you of your own. If you feel called to your bigness, called to step into your magic and offer your medicine to this world, now is the time. And you ARE ready.

Items I riff on today…

• Our sovereignty and innocence are waiting.
• The mix of structure and magic.
• Taking up the space designed for you.
• How we are taught to mistrust ourselves.
• The reclamation of our trust and sovereignty.
• Trusting our medicine, giving it, and not looking back.
• When to receive (feminine energy) vs seek (masculine energy).
• Stepping into your bigness.
• An awesome card pull (pictured below) and much more!

You know what I’m going to say. I love your face. Whatever it is you feel called to step towards in this next chapter, I implore you to muster up whatever courage you’ve got and just trust that it’s enough. Not only are you enough, you are designed to be here.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing on living life through the filter of our heart’s resonance and the flow that results in doing so.

I think a lot of us have found ourselves living in our minds this and last year. With so much going on it’s hard not to set up camp in the old noggin. However, it also causes us to lose connection with our hearts. Which, vicious cycle, leads us to try and solve that feeling of disconnection with our minds because we feel so desperate to reconnect.

Now is the time for living from the heart. The only direction you will go living from the mind, is in circles.

Trust me, I’ve got the donut marks in the dirt to prove it. ;)

 Items I riff on today…

• Why many of us are feeling disconnected.
• Heart resonance as a base point.
• Why we tend to play small.
• Why initially stepping into our bigness doesn’t feel good.
• My experience with under-the-radar bullying.
• Feeling like a child in your adult life.
• Imposter syndrome.
• Living in survival mode vs. heart resonance.
• EMDR therapy.
• An awesome card pull.
• And much more!

In this episode, I talk with Martha Beck an incredible human here on earth to help facilitate the transformation of consciousness.

Martha is a New York Times best-selling author and speaker. She holds three Harvard degrees in social science, and Oprah Winfrey has called her “one of the smartest women I know.” Martha is a passionate and engaging teacher, known for her unique combination of science, humor, and spirituality. Her newest book, The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self, was an instant New York Times Best Seller. 

Personally, I think Martha is one of the most down-to-earth and real spiritual teachers out there. Our conversation both lit me and rooted me down. I hope it does the same for you.

Some topics we touch on…

• What living integrity feels like.
• What happens when we’re out of integrity.
• The results of her year without lying.
• Why finding out what you yearn for is so important.
• The power of discovering your wings of desire.
• What the “dark woods” is and why it exists.
• The identity shift that comes with living in integrity.
• Mourning the loss of our known misery.
• What to do when we feel tempted to go back to old ways.
• Why yearning is so important when the path gets uncomfortable.
• How suffering can become our ally.
• Getting out of gaslighting yourself.
• One-degree turns vs. big leaps.
• The magical life-changing experience Martha had while in surgery.
• The biggest lesson Martha has learned this year.
• What Martha is excited about for the future.

I hope you enjoy this episode even just half as much as I enjoyed recording it for you. I couldn’t recommend Martha’s book enough. I found it incredibly supportive and will be going back to it again and again.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing on exhaustion. I’ve been hearing a lot of people talk about just how exhausted they’ve been feeling, and personally have been feeling it too. 

There’s nothing wrong with feeling exhausted. Anything we feel is simply a message from our body or soul letting us know what it needs. The trouble comes from the inner narrative we’ve been taught that says rest is a bad thing, and that we should push ourselves to always be performing and producing. This does not allow any space for the human experience. This is the programmed narrative for a cog in the industrial machine that is capitalism. 

You are not a machine. This has been a tough couple of years. If you’re exhausted, you’re a normal human. And feeling exhausted does not mean you have failed. It means you are awake.

Items I riff on today…

• Global exhaustion
• Energy waves and the Shumen scale
• Energy upgrades and ascension
• The message/lesson from the Universe 
• Call to the feminine
• Boundary check-in

Ok you human. I think you’re great. Whether you’re exhausted or full of beans. Wherever you are, you’re not wrong for being there. 

Remember to listen intently for the messages coming through. And when you hear them, act. Whether that be a nap, a moment of stillness, a walk in nature, or a naked dance around your house to the latest Jay-Z track. Just give yourself what you need. You’re a human.

In this episode, I riff on what I believe is a very common feeling this year (2021) of “blah-ness.”

The inspiration for this Quick Riff is from an article that I found extremely affirming and helpful called “There’s a Name for the Blah You’re Feeling: It’s Called Languishing.” It’s written by psychologist Adam Grant and explains why so many of us are feeling “blah” and what we can do about it.

I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely feeling the effects of 2020. And although it’s important not to wallow in the past, in order to move forward in a positive direction, we first have to fully witness, understand, and release what is still sitting with us from the past.

A few things I touch on…

• What is languishing (blah-ness).
• The symptoms of languishing.
• Why so many of us are feeling this way.
• How we can slip into this state without realizing it.
• Why we don’t tend to ask for help while languishing.
• The slightly “woo-woo” antidote to this blah feeling.
• One of the most important factors in daily joy.
• How we get into that state of being.
• Why it’s crucial we have periods of uninterrupted time.
• How focusing on “just manageable difficulty” projects is helpful.
• A hopefully soothing guided stillness moment to integrate everything.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing on how to shift through moments of discomfort and choose differently. 

As a highly sensitive person, I find that discomfort hits me on a deeper than average level. I know I’m certainly not alone in this. It’s normal to want to shift ourselves back into the comfort zone when things get a little tense. 

Whether it be an emotion we haven’t processed or a belief that is popping up just as we’re about to do something new and different. However, this is also the thing that keeps us stuck and eventually wears away at our self-esteem.

I’ve been doing a little practice for the last few days that has really shifted what I choose for myself on a daily basis. It’s a simple, easy to remember, totally free thing.

Is it the end all be all? Nope. Not a chance. Does it help shift things towards the better? Yes.

Items I riff on today…

• A little update on your host and the RRP.
• Understanding and respecting the process of change.
• The key to choosing differently in moments of discomfort.
• Balancing logic and “woo-woo” (masculine and feminine).
• Staying the course through change.
• Why progress (which is inherently imperfect) equals happiness.
• And of course, a card pull. :) 

Journal Prompts: 

1. What fear is coming up in this moment of discomfort?
2. What would I have to believe about myself for this to be true?
3. How is holding on to this belief protecting/serving me?
4. What is a more supportive and more true belief I can begin to step towards?
5. What do I need right now?

I hope this episode was helpful! I’d love your feedback on the format for the Audio Coffee you enjoy most. Plus whatever else you’d like to see! You can email me at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram @realrebelpodcast.

I think you’re just a beautiful human. Love you lots and lots!

Your Host,

In this episode, I talk with Thirza Voysey founder of Soul Farm, Equine Therapy Intuitive and Guide, and author of The Wild In Us.

Thirza and I met in a really random way on one of the trails of the island we live on. I ended up going to her farm and getting a little taste of the power and beauty of horse therapy. That day I got a glimpse into what was once just a dream manifested into reality. 

In this episode, you’ll hear about how she went from working 9-5 to moving her entire life and family to a small island and venturing into a vocation that she had no experience in. Thirza is a beautiful example of what can happen when we follow our hearts. That being said, as you know, the road was not without its bumps and detours which she shares super openly and honestly about. 

Some topics we touch on…

• What horse therapy is and what it looks like.
• Why horses are so good at balancing energy.
• How to trust our heart nudges.
• Committing to following your heart.
• Self-doubt and feeling like giving up.
• Guilt when choosing to follow your dreams.
• Trust falling into your dreams.
• What happens when the first 3 chakras are blocked.
• Stepping into your power and being BIG.
• What vibrational bounce is.
• Why horses work in the divine feminine.
• Disassociation and why it’s so common.
• Plus an introduction of the horses!

I hope you’re inspired by this episode and feel a little less alone on your journey to whatever your version of Soul Farm is.

This Audio Coffee is formatted a bit differently than usual. I pulled a card on Instagram this past week that really resonated with people. So I thought, why not just jump right into it. So instead of this episode being in two segments, as usual, we just dive right on in with the card reading.

In this Audio Coffee episode, I’m riffing on how often the hardest part about things coming to completion is the letting go part. It’s normal for endings to be bittersweet. To want to hold on to the known and the safe and feel a bit trepidatious about what’s ahead. This is a totally normal human feeling and it’s so important to not judge yourself for having it.

Change can be challenging enough as it is (although I do believe we can get better at it over time) so there’s no sense in adding extra pressure on an often already pressure-filled situation. 

Also, happy full pink moon! How timely. :) 

Items I riff on today…

• Completion and letting go.
• A fun Dairy Queen story.
• Codependency and detachment.
• Planting seeds vs. forcing.

Journal Prompts: 

1. What are you ready to commit to in your life for this next chapter?
2. What is it time for you to step into?
3. Where have you abandoned yourself in the past that you are now ready to show up for yourself?

I love your face. As always.

In this episode, I talk with the incomparable Janne Robinson for a second time and it was such a rich and varied conversation.

Janne originally came on in 2019 in an episode called Speaking Truth Unapologetically where we spoke about her upbringing, living in a place that resonates with the soul, how she came to her creative work, discernment and worth in relationships, and much, much more.

Janne is a wild at heart, eyes to the sky, feet on the ground kind of woman. Her capacity to show up truthfully and vulnerably is a gift cherished and enjoyed by all of those who enter her orbit. She is a poet, a coach, champion for truth, and all-around deeply inspiring human. 

Some topics we touch on…

• EMDR Therapy and why Janne thinks it’s one of the most effective out there.
• Why travel is tough for her as a highly sensitive person (HSP).
• The benefits of starting your day with a bath.
• Her experience with beginning to heal the Mother wound.
• How we are shifting into the Matriarchy.
• The feminine practices Janne is integrating into her daily routine.
• Her experience with hiring/finding the right team.
• An extremely expansive story of money and abundance.
• Relationships, falling in love, and finding your human.
• Entrepreneurs and love.
• Entrepreneurs and self-care.
• Why Janne is waking up at 5:00 am and its relation to the Ayurvedic doshas.
• Money, manifestation, and reprogramming the subconscious.
• How she faces and integrates self-doubt.
• Healing the shame around sharing and expressing the spectrum of human emotion.
• And so much more!

 I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did recording it. There is so much to be gleaned from Janne’s wisdom and this is definitely one to keep coming back to. You will learn something new each time.

Lots and lots of love as always!

Your Host,

Katie B
