Join in on this episode with Jen and her special guest Kendra of Ironside Training, here in Portland, Oregon. Jen met Kendra through mutual friends in the motorcycle scene here,  including Kids and Cobras @kidsandcobras and Legion Motorcycle Co. @legionmotoco. Jen connected with Kendra on motorcycles of course, weightlifting, to her photography as well as transparency in their respective journeys. They talk about deep wisdom from their life experiences.
If you follow Kendra, you know she is an inspiration in many ways; from running a photography business as a skilled photographer and well rounded portfolio, to always challenging herself physically and mentally at the gym and very involved as a competing athlete holding the Oregon records of her weight class, she is also very  supportive of others along their path. Kendra is a very kind and understanding person, she is very easy to talk and connect with on deeper levels. 
Kendra talks about, not only her journey getting into motorcycles but she talks about what was going on for her mentally when she started getting into weightlifting and even more so as she started competing, and her story in how she overcame stigmas around society's perception of what that looks like. She has clearly redefined that, using it as her power, she has thrown expectations back in the face of what society has taught fitness should look like. If you follow her, you'll see how she redefines this every day and is truly a leader in empowering others to do the same. 
She is passionate in empowering women to lift and talks about how powerlifting is a way that women can celebrate their femininity and sexuality. She talks about how her photography started to take off, also related to the community at Ironside Training where she started to document more of the community there who are training and their progress.  Her photography started to take off. She also shares about her experience in relationships, and particularly in 2019 being a transformative year in really looking at what it was she truly wanted. Part of that, was a deeply connected relationship in which she has with her partner @coach_patrickthomas Founder/Owner/Head Powerlifting Coach at Ironside Training.
Kendra is always supporting people in her community; supporting individuals following their own path; promoting and embracing self-care and self-love. Kendra's mindset is very insightful, from personal truths, and personal connection; she works hard but enjoys life and talks about having balance. Be sure to follow Kendra @kfarblifts and @ironsidetraining as well as @wild.and.restless her photography page to see the amazing work she is doing.

Join in on this very special episode with Jen and her special guest Raco, a.k.a. the #mileslayer, as Jen calls him. This episode is another monumental episode in several ways. This being the second ever in person recording on RituaLust Radio, recorded in Temecula, CA over lunch at a taco shop. This episode feels like you are sitting down having lunch with them while having a truly insightful and deeply meaningful conversation. If you know Raco, you know he is hands down one of THE MOST REAL and solid dudes on the planet. Jen connected with Raco in 2020, through the @Ride1k_inaday community and furthermore, they connected on much deeper truths of life. This dude is as real as it gets. He is an absolute inspiration in many ways; from being a highly skilled rider, always pushing himself to be better in all aspects of his life, and strives to be the best he can be for himself and his family. He and his family are always giving back and supporting the community. Raco has taught his children the importance of giving back, that this IS humanity, as he grew up with this experience since he was a kid himself. Raco talks about his journey; his struggles in the past and overcoming some major obstacles. He talks about the story of meeting his wife, which is such a special story and he talks about his family as well as his brotherhood with his club. Family, is a major part of who Raco is. He understands the deep, personal work as he has been through the depths in his respected journey. He shares with us how he maintains aliveness for himself and within his relationship with his wife, and they definitely keep that fire lit! He talks about true experience in his relationship; of course in relationship, there are struggles and disagreements, and what they do to work through these experiences together as a team.

Jen went to Temecula to attend the @biltwell El Diablo Run and asked Raco if he would be interested in coming on the podcast during this trip. Jen was so thrilled to have him on the show and even more exciting, this was Raco's first experience being on a podcast or anything like this. Raco has been involved in many riding events, including being a seasoned El Diablo Run attendee. He is always supporting people in the community, but not just the riding community, something Jen noticed about Raco right off the bat is that he is very supportive of sexuality and is actively normalizing it. He supports women, celebrating the female body, women's empowerment and their sexuality.

Raco's story is empowering; hearing when motorcycles came into his life, about his personal journey, and where he is today... he is an absolute inspiration. This dude has worked hard af, and always supports good times. He most definitely has that positive mental attitude and most certainly embodies it... for him, it is a way of life. Raco's wisdom is very insightful, whether you are just starting to ride, from deep personal truths, and personal connection; he exudes desire and the passion to LIVE life. Listening to his stories, you can hear riding has never changed for him since day one; it also being a big part of who he is, you can hear the passion coming from him when he talks about it. For him, that love for riding has never skipped a beat. Over the course of his journey, he has had a wide range of bike experience which makes him even that more knowledgeable and skilled of a rider. 

Be sure to follow @x_raco_x and see the amazing work he does in the community... such incredible contribution to humanity and everyone he genuinely supports. Support those who support you! It doesn't get more real, more supportive and more positive than Raco. You will not want to miss this absolutely, incredible episode!

And, not only that, this is the first episode interviewing a couple, and a seriously powerful and absolutely incredible couple Casey and Whitney are.

Jen and Casey became friends, and also she takes her bike to Cafes Customs specifically when she is in the SoCal area, and saving her motor upgrade for Cafes Customs because he is simply, the best!

When Jen was in Temecula in December 2020, she had the pleasure of talking on the phone with Whitney while down at the shop and couldn't wait till the next return to Temecula to meet her in person and to see all the homies down there again! Jen asked Casey and Whitney if they would be interested in coming on the podcast because of their incredible story and the work they have done together. They decided as a team, they would come on to the show to share their story! So, fast forward to April 2021, Jen goes back to Temecula, coming through for the podcast recording and to visit, on the way to San Felipe, Mexico for the @biltwell El Diablo Run.

Jen and her guests get deeper in this episode. Casey and Whitney open up about major challenges they navigated; when they came to a couple points in their relationship they said "fuck it," at a point of almost divorcing, they made the conscious decisions and effort to DO THE WORK. You'll hear them talk about these challenges, and for them, there was nothing more to lose when it came to trying to make things work. Their story is empowering, and because of the work they have done together, they are deeply connected, loving each other more every day and completely changed the environment within the family as a result of the work. This episode is juicy, it's sexy, and it's ALIVE. They hold nothing back in this episode, because they know that their story can help others. And that is their intention.

They both crossed paths with each other, sharing a connection in riding and empowering messages in their posts and stories.
