This Feels Important

This quote from Peter Crone kicks off this episode on wrestling with achievement and the true meaning of success. In a week when Kari does not have her kids and Tory is navigating pregnancy, both of them have had the space to reflect on this quote.

What happens when you reach the power, impact, and income you desire and it doesn't fulfill you? What do you do when all have is your shiny soul? This episode is about sitting in the discomfort and why that's essential to finding the contentment, peace, and meaning we all desire and deserve.

Watch the full video from Peter Crone.

"My marriage ended because I started painting."

Tory, Kari, and their guest Chelsie Diane drop into a creative place in this wide-ranging conversation. Kari discovered Chelsie while being inspired to write poetry. Chelsie explains why the path to your higher self is through your art and how to truly know the life you are in is right for you.

Chelsie shares her story that includes surviving cancer as a child, getting a full ride to medical school at 18, and then dropping out. In this honest episode, Chelsie dives into why she quit and how the books she read from estate sales changed her life.

This episode is about helping women with their reclamation of self. And it's about what Oprah, Dolly Parton, and Lady Gaga have in common. Plus, how to have a full life based on your creativity. You'll want to hear this one.

This episode goes there. Kari and Tory bring on a special guest, Josh Trent. He's the founder of Wellness Force Media and has spent the past 16 years as a researcher, trainer, and facilitator discovering the physical and emotional intelligence for humans to thrive in our modern world.

The conversation starts with Josh diving deep into wellness, why wellness is a pentagon, and why we should throw "balance" out of our minds. In the second half, Josh turns the conversation on Kari as she breaks down in real-time her past relationships, what she's seeking in a partner and a thorough exploration of masculine and feminine energy.

While this conversation is deeply personal, it's also widely practical and useful. Josh shares why reverence is better than empathy, offers a flexible template to use when you are triggered, and the two words that are the death of any relationship.

Connect with Josh and download his wellness guide. Learn more about The Hawkins Scale as discussed in this episode.

Kari first met Daniel when he jumped into her DMs. And we'll let them take it from there.

Kari and Daniel talk about giving yourself full permission to show up as you are and how to tap into intimacy. Kari gives a peek into her journey to wholeness and the lessons she's learned sitting in her discomfort.

Daniel explains emotional alchemy, calls Kari out for a few things from past episodes and talks about life inside the trigger. Kari also explains why she isn't mad at her ex.

This conversation is a sneak peek into a growing friendship in real-time, as they navigate their connection and break down what life is all about.

Kari rides solo to share about the awkward, painful, beautiful, transformative, gooey realities of the space between. That space between one version of you and the next. Between one life and the next.

Tory and Kari use the stories of their lives to reflect from their experience to yours. It's in these stories that we see bits and pieces of ourselves. Kari opens up about how she's navigating this space with specific stories and moments from her life, with the hope to inform you - or remind you - of something you already know.

Kari shares how a canceled wellness retreat led to new insights, and how she held on to these insights once she was back around the familiar triggers and habits of daily life. This is a practical conversation to help you where you are at and where you want to go.

How do you know when you've truly arrived at your destination? No matter how certain we feel with any partner, job, home, is everything just a lilypad to get to the next one?

Tory recently went through some past journals during a time of major milestones in her life, including two anniversaries and a birthday. It brought up a lot of stuff, including dread and shame. If you've ever had trouble letting go of the past, being content with your present, or having something heavy on your heart, Tory kindly invites you into this raw and real solo pod.

And she also shares a wild story of how her life intersected with her current partner, almost a decade before meeting him.
