She's here to tell us all about it. ⁠

    We talk about life path and mission - the misstep moments we've faced at work, and a lot more. Joanna describes herself as the Bridget Jones archetype in her life as she experiences a "comedy of errors," and at the top of the episode, Kat and Stefania share some of their more embarrassing work stories, too. ⁠

  • Ep 42: Overcoming Fear & The Tools For Making Your Best Decisions
    Have you ever found yourself "bracing for impact" when the impact isn't even there? Bracing for the discomfort/pain/unknown in a way that prevents you from being in the moment?
    We have.
    We are sharing our personal stories and what we've learned - how we've caught ourselves "pacing ourselves" unnecessarily - and the tools and practices that have helped us to move out of fear and into a place that feels much lighter and aligned.
    We love doing these solo episodes and sharing with you, this is one of our favorites we've done in a while!

  • Ep 40: Periods & Fertility: What's normal, what's not, and what to do with Dr Lara Briden
    We are thrilled to share our conversation with renowned doctor and author of The Period Repair Manual, Dr. Lara Briden. A true thought leader and expert on women’s health, we are talking to Dr. Lara about it ALL. Perhaps the conversation can be best summed up in these words as we cover: when it comes to your cycle, your hormones, and your fertility - what’s normal and what’s not? So then, what can we do?
    She opened our eyes to help us understand how and why some of what we might consider “normal” pain, mood fluctuation, birth control practices - are not normal at all and could be causing longer term harm. Not to worry - she shares how to understand what might be going on and how to bring our bodies into balance and ease.

  • Ep 37: How The Akashic Records Can Help Us Understand Our Past And Present With Lindsay Mann
    This week is an exploration into a modality we’ve been hearing a lot about lately: the Akashic Records. We first heard Deepak Chopra speak about the records as the field beyond space and time from which everything emerges. But what does that really mean?
    We go deep with Lindsay Mann on this topic. She’s a healer who works with the Records and recently spoke with us to help us understand how this ancient modality can help us connect with our past and the future. She brings the concept down to earth in a way that we can use in our daily lives to connect with answers and reconcile with challenges.
    And as we’re getting ready to start a new month ahead, our personal astrologer Cassandra Joan Butler is here with your September look-ahead and what to expect based on your sign.
