This Feels Important

Kari shares from the heart, inspired by a recent Instagram Q&A that centered on breakups. In this episode, she shares why breakups happen, why they are rites of passages, what they illuminate in ourselves, and the one thing that matters in every relationship.

Whether romantic, friendship, or business, we all are in relationship with the world. Kari discusses the personal fractures in a post-breakup life and why relationships are an incredible mirror to what we want and who we are.

This episode will provide the understanding and direction you need to take ownership of your relationships, not only with others but with yourself.

Kari and Tory are honored to bring you the wisdom and depth of their second guest - Maya Night. Maya wanted to explore the places that are important right now for her, and that meant death.

And not just the death of a loved one. But also the death of possessions, places, and friendships. Death is more than a physical process. It's also the way we treat endings.

This conversation gets emotional, fast. Maya shares the valuable things fear has to offer, the dark side to living in a constant state of manifesting, and the benefits of cervical dearmoring.

While some of these terms may be new to you or this conversation feels like a heavy one, the joy and insight Maya brings to this conversation makes this one not to miss. If you want to tamp into the true expression and embodiment of yourself, this is a must-listen.

ABOUT MAYA

Somatic Healer. Embodiment educator. Priestess of the muse. Maya used to be terrified of expressing herself. The thought of being a multi 6-figure business owner, a movement teacher, and an inspirational Muse was a distant dream. Through the work of the transformational power of embodiment, she learned to embrace the wildest, vulnerable, and self-expressed version…and all of her darkest shadows too.

Maya never thought she could feel this awakened and alchemical, and she wants to activate your body, being, and business into new levels of freedom too.

Become a living transmission.

Find her on Instagram, view her trainings and courses, and explore the cervical wand.

In the previous versions of themselves, Kari and Tory acted as if they had it all figured out. With friends, on social media, to themselves. Now they realize the real truth that they are ready to share with you.

In this episode, Kari and Tory discuss the positive power in showing up messy, why they had to learn to relinquish control, and the sneaky mechanisms that emotionally intelligent people use.

It's easy for all of us to go back to the safety of being alone, knowing what to expect from ourselves. To not risk rejection. To not risk disconnection. Kari and Tory let it all hang out as they share the hard-earned lessons of recalibrating back to love when others around you (and even your own emotions) trigger you.

This conversation will give you permission to show up in your truth and give you radical permission to change your mind and move that line in the sand when the time comes.
