Kenny Holland is famous, but you’d never know it if you ran into him in the grocery store. He is one of the kindest, most down to earth and welcoming souls I’ve ever known…and not to mention…super talented. 

He is a singer/songwriter, producer, and an actor. He starred in Saturday’s Warriors as the lead and he tells us all how he stumbled into all this fame and success at quite an early age. 

Kenny opens up about how his life has unfolded, and how he has gotten to the spot he is at today which is a place of service and giving back.

Dr. Moreen Rubin became a clinical therapist because she recognized that she could easily see what makes a person sitting in front of her special and unique. Ever since she was a child, those in her presence would reflect back to her that they felt seen, heard and understood in a deep and meaningful way.  She has come to believe that compassion, empathy, and living life with purpose can free people from self- limiting thoughts, beliefs and doubts. Through good therapy, she healed herself and learned about the power of self- love and trust.

In our episode together we discuss how our brain is actually comparable to computer software,  and how it has hardwired “programs” that kick in when we experience trauma or fear. 

Dr. Mo goes over the 5 common fear responses: Flight, fight, freeze, fawn, or flop, and I was shocked to learn from her that there are more responses than flight, fight, or freeze. More so, I was shocked to realize that I had consistently experienced the “fawning” method of a fear response for basically my whole life while being totally unconscious of it. Major A-HA moment for me.

In this week's episode, two of my most beloved, wise, friends, Tree and Collette,  speak on the importance of language when we express how we're feeling, and what shadow work actually means to them. In today's world, I've come to realize that "shadow work" is almost a trendy word, and the way it's displayed all across social media has made it seem like a one-time bridge you cross over, then never have to look back on.  NEWS FLASH: It's not like that. 

Both Collette and Tree break down so beautifully how to start the process of shadow work and see it through.

BONUS! Make sure to stick around to the end to hear Tree Hill showcase a little snippet of her spoken word.

Hey everyone, it's Rory.  Well, it happened. Wes got me. Despite my best efforts, and years of smiles and nods... Weslie finally found the outlet that would make me see the light. In this episode I ambush Wes with what a weekend of plant-based medicine and being completely open to a... lets call it "a less conventional" style of therapy can do to a non-believer. It's been a little over a week since we recorded and I'm happy to say that all this WU-WU shit is STICKING! I still can't believe it. 

Enjoy!

Lindsey Simcik and Krista Williams started their podcast, Almost 30,  a little over 4 years ago, and it has quickly climbed into the top 50 podcasts in the world!

It's easy to understand why they've reached such a level of success after chatting with them because they are so effortlessly calm, confident, and articulate with the way they speak not only to us but with each other as well. 

We go into how Almost 30 came to be, along with some of their favorite life lessons that they've picked up along the way. 

My favorite being ways to realize you may be abandoning yourself in your relationships, or career, and how to find a true level of confidence and security for no one else but yourself.

This episode is truly just barely skimming the surface of what Lindsey and Krista have to offer, so head on over to their podcast, ALMOST 30 to get deeper!

Sadie Sabin is worth the hype, my friends! I've seen her name circling around in the mindfulness space for a few years now, but our conversation together this day was my first real encounter with her, and lemme tell ya...she is one powerful woman.

Something that was unexpected about our episode is that I originally asked Sadie to come on to talk about her self love courses, children's meditations,  and her hiking retreats--but Sadie ended up going deep into her relationship with her faith.

Because my episode last week was all about my faith expansion out of Mormonism, I feel it is only appropriate to air Sadie's story of expanding her faith while choosing to remain a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormonism).

The libra in me seriously loves this balance. What can I say?!

*And a special note to all of you who wrote into me over the last week, THANK YOU. The outpouring of messages has been both overwhelming and surprising. I wasn't anticipating all the support and kind messages. This space we're carving out together in my little corner of this Podcast World is something I am immensely proud of.  You guys, the listeners, are making this all happen and I want to remind you of that. Thank you again for being open and ready to hear the sometimes big ( and uncomfortable) conversations like this one and last weeks, too.  It's in these types of conversations that we all grow and true change is made.

*TRIGGER WARNING: This episode is outlining specific teachings, rules, happenings, and ideologies of the Mormon Faith that may be very uncomfortable for current LDS members to listen to because it is not promoting the LDS faith.
 As a past member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for 26 years, I know I would NOT enjoy listening to this story if I was a happy and content member, and it could have potentially shaken my faith if I didn't already know certain facts about the founder's history that aren't as openly discussed in Sunday School. 
While none of the contents of this episode are pulled from anywhere but Church Approved websites stating historical facts, I recognize that not all members know the depths of certain happenings, so, I feel the need to warn all active members before they choose to listen to this that I talk about my opinions regarding specifics on the churches history with polygamy/polyandry, race, and bishop's interviews discussing sex/masturbation with unaccompanied minors and adults alike. *

Well, here is the episode I said I would never do. I guess never say never? Anyway, I feel called to tell this one big missing puzzle piece of my story here on the podcast for a few reasons. One is that I hope by finally doing this, this subject matter will kind of be put to rest.
And two, I know more people are leaving this faith than ever before. It is a painful transition out with so many stigmas and hurt feelings. I know that while I don't really want to do this, I am meant to do this. I think my story and where my family and I have landed after expanding outside of Mormonism over the last 6+ years may help others who are deeply hurting while transitioning out now.

My other hope lays at the very end of the episode, and I won't spill all the beans here in the description, but I hope that my Mormon friends/family will start sharing their spiritual experiences with me again as they used to when I was a member. I love hearing about them, and that didn't change about me when I left. My wish is that you believe and honor that I am happy, thriving, and spiritually connected although I am outside of the faith now,  just as I honor and believe that you are happy, thriving, and spiritually connected while remaining inside the faith.

I loved this episode...and also, I just really love Jordan. I could talk to her for HOURS. So, if you don't already know, Jordan Younger is the beautiful mind behind The Balanced Blonde Soul on Fire Podcast.

In this episode we talk about how she became global news back in 2014 for openly taking a break from veganism, and the subsequent backlash she received. It was a whirlwind! She wrote a book called, Breaking Vegan, but as we discuss in the show, Jordan admits it feels like a different person who went through that experience.  (She is currently vegan again and THRIVING!)

So much has changed in the last 6 years for Jordan. She was diagnosed with lyme disease, and has been openly sharing what has been working for her and not working for her throughout her healing journey with chronic illness.

Something that has spiked my interest so incredibly much that Jordan shares with us in this episode is her information and experience with the Pleiadians. I had no idea what this was before she told me about them, but it is fascinating! We also discuss her newfound spiritual gifts that she's been discovering which include seeing people's face shape shift.

This is such an interesting discussion, that's for sure!

ALSO! We did a podcast swap and joint giveaway, so head on over to The Balanced Blonde, Soul on Fire podcast to hear Jordan interview me.

To enter the giveaway: Subscribe, rate, and review both of our podcasts on Apple podcasts. Take a screenshot then send it to [email protected] and we will pick a joint winner!

The winner will receive one of my Do No Harm/Take No Shit crewnecks, and Jordan's 22 day detox recipe EBook that is filled with 50 healthy, plant based meals that are all salt, oil, and sugar free!

*TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses suicide and death.

Meadowlark is a mental health professional who works at MadHappy, which is a clothing company that focuses on mental health education.

In this week's episode, we talk about Meadowlark's upbringing which was punctuated by trauma and death, and then even more trauma and death. In college, she found herself in a psychology class and couldn't get enough, which lead her to become the mental health professional that she is today.

Speaking to her about this subject was so illuminating for me. For instance, before she went into detail about some of the traumas she dealt with around her father's death, she simply asked me if I was emotionally available to hear specifics, or if I would prefer to skip details. Just this act alone changed the way that I will talk about big issues like this with future guests or friends. 

It was so simple, so kind, and allowed trust and ease for the conversation to continue on in. And this is why I wanted Meadowlark on the show...she is teaching me, and hopefully, us all, how to have these types of harder conversations in a way that doesn't feel as hard or uncomfortable. 

Beyond this, Meadow gives us a detailed list of coping mechanisms that she uses herself when she is triggered or having a rough mental health day.

Madi Murphy is hilarious. She describes herself as someone who searched for her whole life to find her passion. Little did she know, she had been practicing her true talent every minute of every day: complaining.

She started a podcast just recently where every week she explores new sh*t to hate and finds ways to laugh, cry, or complain about it. 

....and. it. is. amazing!

In this episode we talk about how we go way back,  how she got into the whole podcasting gig, and how she realized she could fail at the stuff she hated doing...so she thought she might as well do the stuff she loves.
