Join Kim Staples and Ianthe Mauro for a conversation on Unapologetic Uplift that will make you rethink everything you've been told about planning, preparation, and trusting yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

🎯 The Myth of Being "Prepared" – What if over-preparing is actually getting in your way? Kim and Ianthe break down the difference between conventional preparation (outlines, schedules, scripts) and the deeper kind of readiness that comes from doing the inner work and trusting yourself to show up.

✨ Spontaneity Is a Superpower – Being in the moment isn't irresponsible — it's a radical act of self-trust. Learn why some of the most successful, creative, high-performing people in the room aren't following the plan at all.

🌿 Flow Over Formula – From running top-performing corporate locations without following the playbook to tapping into universal energy before client sessions, Kim and Ianthe share how responding to what's actually alive beats any rigid system.

🌤️ Look at the Sky – Are you checking your phone for the weather, or opening a window and actually feeling it? This simple practice becomes a powerful metaphor for how to stop consuming secondhand reality and start responding to what's really in front of you.

💪 Trust, Resilience & Self-Worth – When you throw away the script and still do brilliantly, something shifts. You build a new relationship with yourself — one rooted in evidence, not anxiety. That's where real confidence grows.

🤝 We Need Each Other – Type A or totally in-the-flow, neither way is wrong. The magic happens when we stop making ourselves wrong for how we're wired, find what lights us up, and surround ourselves with people who complement (not clone) us.

🏢 Leadership Without Ego – The best leaders aren't the ones with the most structure — they're the ones who trust their teams enough to let them find their own way to the result. Kim shares lessons from managing diverse teams across multiple departments and what she learned from every single one of them.

Welcome to episode 6 of Unhinged Out Loud with Kim Staples, where I say the quiet part out loud.

Your wounds didn't close you. You did. And you can choose differently.

When betrayal stacks up, when the people you trusted let you down, it becomes dangerously easy to let those wounds quietly harden into armor. You stop letting people in. You stop trusting yourself. You forget that staying open isn't weakness — it's the most radical act of courage you can choose.

But here's what they don't tell you: An open heart isn't naive. An open heart has boundaries. An open heart trusts its gut. An open heart stays present with pain without shutting down. And an open heart chooses love — not because nothing hurts anymore, but because you've built the inner foundation to stay soft and strong at the same time.

In this powerful guided energy transmission, I help you shift from:

This episode includes:

If you've been betrayed, hurt, or quietly closing yourself off without even realizing it, this episode will bring you back home to your heart.

Because your heart does something your armor cannot: it keeps you truly alive.

This bonus episode of Intentionally Ianthe is a quiet, candlelit moment just for you.

Rooted in a practice that began when I was five years old at the Waldorf School — where my teacher would light a candle at snack time and set an intention for all of us — I've carried this ritual my entire life. Today, I'm sharing it with you.

In this episode, I'm setting an intention for kindness toward yourself — because those things that bother you about yourself? They might just be proof that you're on a beautiful journey of self-awareness. Let's let them go together.

✨ How to Participate:

💫 Today's Intention:"May you be kinder to yourself today. May you notice what's bothering you about yourself, recognize it as proof you're on a journey of deeper self-awareness — and then let it go. Find something truly beautiful about yourself that you love, and let that be."

Much love — and remember: you deserve your own kindness. 💛

Join Kim Staples for a solo episode on Unapologetic Uplift that will change how you think about pain, healing, and transformation.

In this episode, we explore:

💔 Pain vs. Suffering – Discover why pain that is felt is moved, but pain that is avoided is stored. Kim breaks down the difference between the inevitable pain of being human and the suffering we create when we refuse to let that pain move through us.

🔬 Why Western Medicine Has It Wrong – The medical model teaches us to eliminate symptoms and return to function, but what if pain isn't the enemy? What if it's the messenger? Learn why silencing pain often makes it louder in other ways: chronic illness, autoimmune disease, addiction, and anxiety.

🧠 The Body Keeps the Score – Drawing on the work of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine, and Dr. Gabor Maté, Kim explains how trauma lives in your fascia, nervous system, and gut. You can't think your way out—you have to feel your way through.

🌍 Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science – From Buddhism's Four Noble Truths to Rumi's "The Guest House," from Taoism's principle of wu wei to Indigenous healing rituals, Kim shows how ancient traditions have always known what we're just rediscovering: the path to liberation runs directly through pain, not around it.

🌊 Surrender Is Not Weakness – Surrender isn't giving up—it's the radical act of stopping the fight against reality. Learn why the breakdown is often the breakthrough, and how saying "this is what is" becomes the doorway to real healing.

🛠️ Practical Tools for Leaning In – Kim offers concrete practices: somatic work, affect labeling, breath work, trauma-informed movement, and building your window of tolerance. This isn't just philosophy—it's actionable wisdom for when you're dissociating at your kitchen table on a Wednesday.

✨ The Alchemy of Pain – "The wound is where the light enters." Your suffering isn't a sign something has gone wrong—it's an invitation to go deeper. Pain that you allow, breathe with, and let move becomes the raw material of your greatest compassion, clearest sight, and most unshakeable strength.

Welcome to episode 5 of Unhinged Out Loud with Kim Staples, where I say the quiet part out loud.

The world is selling you fear. Your heart knows better.

When the noise gets loud, when fear, doubt, and opinions drown out your inner voice, it becomes dangerously easy to see everything through the lens of distortion. You doubt yourself. You doubt others. You forget that love is the most intelligent lens you have.

But here's what they don't tell you: Love isn't passive. Love holds boundaries. Love trusts inner knowing. Love sees clearly. And love chooses certainty when fear is trying to sell you doubt.

In this powerful guided meditation energy transmission, I help you shift from:

This episode includes:

If you've been questioning yourself, second-guessing your intuition, or feeling pulled into collective fear, this meditation will bring you back home to your heart.

Because your heart does something your mind cannot: it knows the truth.

Welcome to episode 4 of Unhinged Out Loud with Kim Staples, where I say the quiet part out loud.

What if the struggle isn't the problem? What if you chose it?

If you've battled low self-worth your entire life—if you keep attracting relationships that diminish you, if opportunities feel like tests, if success keeps slipping through your fingers—this episode will change everything you thought you knew about why.

Here's the truth: Low self-worth isn't a character flaw. It's a soul-level initiation. And you didn't get it by accident.

In this episode, I share:

If you've poured everything into relationships, business, or dreams that just won't take off—if you're tired of performing worthiness—this episode is your permission to stop proving and start remembering.

This isn't about affirmations. It's about nervous system healing and somatic reprogramming.

Join Kim Staples for a powerful conversation with holistic practitioner Nadia Vero about spiritual awakening, religious trauma, and reclaiming authentic confidence.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ Spiritual Awakening & Religious Trauma – Nadia shares her journey leaving Islam after her spiritual awakening and the profound cognitive dissonance that came with realizing "everything I learned was a lie." We discuss how faith implies doubt versus deep knowing, and navigating spiritual abuse from family and community.

🌟 Choosing Your Own Identity – Nadia explains why she changed her last name to "Vero" (meaning "truth") and how it represents her commitment to authenticity and being unapologetically herself.

💪 Making Decisions from Neutrality – Learn the difference between reactive decisions (made from fear or excitement) versus grounded choices. Nadia shares how she spent four years healing before leaving her marriage, making the decision from clarity rather than emotion.

🧠 The Subconscious Mind & Childhood Wounds – We dive into how core wounds form between ages 0-9 and unconsciously run 95% of our lives. Discover why hypnotherapy works where talk therapy falls short, and how to get to the root cause instead of managing symptoms.

👁️ Intuition vs. Anxiety – The key distinction: intuition is a subtle knowing in your body, while anxiety screams and won't shut up. Learn to trust your internal guidance system.

👶 Conscious Parenting & Being Present – How awakening naturally transforms how you show up for your children, plus the importance of trusting your motherly instinct even when doctors dismiss you.

🎯 The Brave Zone Approach – Nadia breaks down her holistic method for helping people pleasers, empaths, and anxiously attached individuals become calm, clear, and confident. It's not about fixing surface-level behaviors—it's about healing the core wound underneath.

This bonus episode was inspired by a beautiful voice message I received in my DMs from a listener who shared something that moved me deeply. After hearing me talk about epic loss and surviving unthinkable tragedy, she shared her own story of loss after loss after loss – and how she STILL chooses to see every person she meets and every moment of life as a gateway to joy.

In this episode, I'm setting an intention for anyone who has survived the impossible.

Join Kim Staples and co-host Ianthe Mauro for an unplanned, raw conversation about the energetic shift happening at the beginning of the year of the fire horse.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ The Current Energy Shift – Kim shares how she's feeling low energy yet more intuitive and grounded than ever, describing this period as fast-moving and no longer supportive of procrastination. The message? Take action, even if it's messy, and course-correct later.

🌍 Narcissistic Leadership & Corruption – We discuss what we see as a correction happening in the world, with narcissistic leadership and corruption coming to the surface. The key is staying sovereign, grounded, and present rather than getting pulled into fear.

🔮 Self-Awareness Tools – We dive into human design, Chinese zodiac/feng shui, Western astrology, Enneagram, and Kolbe as optional modalities that help us understand ourselves through story. We caution against rigid identity attachment and share a hilarious anecdote about Ianthe's father believing he was an Aquarius despite his birth certificate saying otherwise.

🚫 Complaining vs. Processing – Learn the difference between complaining and processing with curiosity and self-responsibility. We argue that complaining blocks intuition and miracles, and challenge you to try a "complaining diet."

💭 Judgment, Gossip & Boundaries – We explore how judgment points back at ourselves, the importance of energetic boundaries, and how to navigate reactivity with love and self-awareness.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parenting & Worry – Kim shares a powerful technique for speaking worries out loud to dispel their effect and open conversation with your children, plus insights on how worrying can actually project darkness onto those we love.

Welcome to episode 3 of Unhinged Out Loud with Kim Staples, where I say the quiet part out loud.

Why do you keep hitting the same walls over and over again? Why do you sabotage yourself right when success starts to feel good? Attract the same type of chaos in relationships or business? Know exactly what you need to do but can't seem to actually do it?

Most people think it's a mindset problem, a discipline problem, or a strategy problem. It's not. It's a nervous system and unresolved trauma problem—and in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why and what you can actually do about it.

Here's the truth: You can't think your way out of nervous system dysregulation. Understanding your trauma and healing your trauma are two completely different things.

In this episode, we dive into:

✨ Why your nervous system is running outdated programming written by your childhood self

If you've been doing the mindset work but still hitting the same walls, if you're exhausted from performing wellness while drowning inside, this episode is for you.
