This week, Kaylin sits down with Crosby Noricks, a  leadership coach and guide who uses somatic practices in her work. You may know Crosby from her 15 years at PR Couture, but she recently sold her company to Jeneration PR and is doing a 180 from her former life as the only one at the helm of PR Couture. In this next act, she aims to unlock the full human experience by using what she has learned and discovering new things along the way. There are so many nuggets of inspiration and insight in this episode, including external and internal expectations, the inspiration behind PR Couture, how to know when it’s time to step away from a career path, selling her company, how she shifted from having a company to going back to a “regular” job, figuring out who you actually are, discovering your hobbies, somatics and embodiment, her new Unfurl with Me endeavor, committing to consistent practices, and much more.

In this week’s solo episode, Kaylin reveals what it’s like to be a Highly Sensitive Person who is also sensation-seeking. It can seem like an oxymoron to be an HSP and to seek sensations at the same time, BUT it’s 100% possible and relatable. We get into the reasons for seeking sensations, as well as some characteristics, examples, and more.

It’s episode 10 of Wholeheartedly! This week, Kaylin talks with Piper White of The Primer Years about everything she has learned (so far!) in her 20s and how to navigate life when it isn’t how you always pictured it. We chatted a lot about what success means and how to be true to yourself, as well as her podcast, her experience with a 9-to-5 job, finding work you’re passionate about, her own mental health journey, handling others’ emotions, social media limits, and much more. You don’t want to miss out on Piper’s wisdom!

Trigger warning: We talk about disordered eating at the 25:05 mark.

It’s no secret that grief can change the trajectory of your life. In this week’s episode, Kaylin talks about how grief has affected her own life, from experiencing two miscarriages and losing several loved ones to what it feels like to grieve the loss of a career you think you wanted and your perceived sense of self. We’ll also touch on collective grief and how it impacts our conscious and unconscious minds. (Grief manifests in many more ways, too.) There are some tears in this episode – and it wasn’t easy to get through. But, it’s comforting to bring these stories and emotions to light.

Trigger warning: Grief can be challenging to work through – and listen to in someone else’s podcast. Some stories in this podcast may be challenging if you have the same or a similar grief experience.

“Everyone that we’ve had contact with still lives in us.” While Spiritfarer is a “cozy management game about dying,” it is much more than it appears on the surface. Underneath its multitude of layers lies an experience that has the power to change perspectives and the way we view video games as an art form. Kaylin talks with Spiritfarer’s and Thunder Lotus Games’ Creative Director Nicolas Guérin about the rationale and inspiration behind this life-changing game. With more than one million downloads, it’s transforming the ways players look at death and how we view video games in general. We talk about how to become more comfortable with uncomfortable topics, like death and grief, as well as character development, our own grief journeys, managing your mental health when working on a game like this, and so much more.

In this solo episode, Kaylin digs a bit deeper into what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person by shining a spotlight on five HSP traits, as outlined in Dr. Elaine Aron’s Are You Highly Sensitive? Self-Assessment. She gives examples of how her own positive and negative attributes weave in and out of each trait, as well as remedies and ways to reframe the negative thought patterns in your daily life. We can begin to see our sensitivity as a strength and not a weakness.

In the sixth episode of Wholeheartedly, Kaylin a fruitful and honest conversation with Arden Cartrette, The Miscarriage Doula. We chat about a whole host of things, including: her own loss story, why she wanted to start The Miscarriage Doula & Co., supporting people through pregnancy loss, mental health, stigmas, toxic positivity, how partners grieve, managing your mental health as an empath in a helping profession, parenting a rainbow baby, and more. At the end of the day, all of us are human, and it’s OK to grieve and honor how you feel at any given moment.

[*Trigger Warning: This episode centers on pregnancy and infant loss. Also, if you’re listening to this episode, Arden’s son can be heard playing in the background at certain points. Please be advised if this is triggering to you. (I totally understand and have been where you are.) These points are: 8:36 and 43:26.]

A note from Kaylin: This episode is dedicated to anyone who has ever experienced a pregnancy or infant loss, as well as the child(ren) you lost. ❤️ This episode is also in remembrance of my first little angel who changed the trajectory of my life three years ago on 6.4.19 and the second one on 4.20.21. ❤️ My heart and prayers are also with the loved ones of everyone lost at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

In this bonus episode, Kaylin talks about how nostalgia and sentimentality fit into being an emotional sponge. It has also been a whole decade (!) since she first visited Paris.
