Krista shares the strategies that have helped her cope with her anxiety over the past year and describes how she’s gradually learning to stop feeling guilty about putting herself first and investing her money in self-care. She emphasizes that all of us experience feelings of depression, confusion, and inadequacy, and we should never feel ashamed to ask for support and do whatever it takes to improve our mental wellbeing. Krista also reveals that she’s continuing to work on her money mindset and that, following a suggestion from Gabby Bernstein in one of her Bestseller Masterclass workshops, the subtitle of her upcoming book will be How to Make Money Being Your Authentic Self.

Krista connects with Amir Paiss for a fascinating conversation about philosophy, music, and spirituality. Amir is a composer, musician, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner who facilitates healing through music. For Amir, music is the purest form of communication, connection, and healing. He sees it as the interface between music and spirit and believes it has the power to raise our vibration out of fear and separation into a higher frequency of healing and harmony. Amir brings a spirit of contemplation and inquiry to everything that he does. He’s interested in inner truth rather than outward appearances, and over the years, he’s learned how to quiet his mind and soothe his spirit. His new album, I Am That I Am, which deals with both the joys and challenges of life, will be released on the 16th of June.

Krista speaks with Jeni and Sandy of Marvelous, a human-focused tech company that specializes in helping people create and sell courses and coaching programs online. As two women working in a male-dominated industry, Jeni and Sandy are blazing a trail for women-owned tech businesses. They’re constantly unpacking what it means to run a tech company from a feminist perspective, and they’re committed to doing things differently. The pair pride themselves on providing excellent customer care, taking care of their staff, and serving their community. At the moment, they’re focused on sales, growth, and scaling, after a year of rapid expansion where they’ve grown from a company of two and a half employees to a business that employs twenty-five full-time staff.

Emory Hall shares her experience of pregnancy and describes the birth of her baby boy, Kailash. She laments the lack of honest conversations about the reality of pregnancy and reveals how unprepared she felt for the discomfort, nausea, and exhaustion she suffered from throughout all three trimesters. As a new mom, she challenges the pressure that society puts on women to bloom throughout their pregnancies and deliver their babies drug-free and explains why she chose to protect the sanctity of her pregnancy by deciding not to post about it on social media. 

After a difficult pregnancy, a traumatic birth, and an anxious time when her baby was in the NICU unit, Emory is embracing motherhood and making a conscious effort to avoid the sometimes toxic culture of comparison and judgment surrounding pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. She expresses her shock at the lack of support and education for pregnant and post-partum mothers and hopes her experiences can provide some insight and perspective for listeners. Above all, she’s grateful for the practical help and emotional support from her doula and for the real-life stories of other mothers who don’t attempt to airbrush over the messy, imperfect reality of pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting.

To honor Mental Health Awareness Month, Krista speaks about the need to heal and recover from the toxic work environments and problematic female relationships that have caused her emotional pain and led to burnout in the past. Right now, she’s acutely aware of the need to go inwards, soothe her soul, and create an energetic sanctuary where she can reconnect to her creativity and truly lean into what’s calling her. For that reason, she robustly defends her decision to change her phone number and limit her availability. For the time being, Krista is committed to reclaiming the joy in her life, and she encourages her listeners to show themselves some love and do whatever they need to do to take care of their emotional well-being.

Krista speaks with one of her favorite yoga teachers and closest friends, Susannah Freedman. Susannah has a Masters in Religion and Philosophy, and she teaches a rigorous style of Bhakti Vinyasa Yoga. They talk about why comparing ourselves to others is so detrimental to our well-being, and Susannah emphasizes that when it comes to self-care, we need to do what feels right for us rather than simply copying what everyone else is doing. She explains how paying attention to our highest self and following our life’s purpose helps fulfill our soul’s karma, and she expands on her belief that yoga is a form of social action, which can create more justice and equality in the world. 

They also consider the subject of cultural appropriation, and in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, Susannah discusses her efforts to deepen her understanding of race as a construct and become a better advocate and accomplice for people of color. To find out more about Susannah, visit her website, follow her on Instagram, or attend her upcoming 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Baja, Mexico, which includes classes on how to honor rather than appropriate the ancient practice of yoga.

Krista talks with Rhyanna Watson, the author of Brave, Beautiful, and Baring it All. Rhyanna is a mother, yoga teacher, and Instagram influencer who loves to engage with her online community. In this episode, Rhyanna opens up about her experience of sexual assault and post-natal depression and describes how, at her lowest point, she even contemplated suicide. Only the realization that her young daughter needed her enabled Rhyanna to carry on, and she describes how, from that moment, she resolved to do everything she could to help her daughter grow up to be a strong and confident woman. Through her work, Rhyanna encourages others to be true to themselves, challenge societal taboos about nudity and the female body, and live healthy, empowered, and compassionate lives. 

TRIGGER WARNING: Rhyanna shares part of her healing journey from emotional and physical trauma as well as mental health, and it could be triggering to some. This podcast is meant to be a safe space for people to share their stories, and I also want to protect my audience from anything that could be harmful to them. This is a very powerful episode with a very happy ending, and I hope you enjoy it!
