In this season finale, Julien Lunsford returns to share the story of her solo trip to Paris in celebration of her 30th birthday — a journey rooted in courage, creativity, and self-trust. Together, we explore what happens when intention meets action, and how stepping into solitude can unlock clarity, confidence, and unexpected synchronicities.

The conversation moves through themes of empowerment, overcoming fear, and navigating the delicate balance between passion and pressure. We reflect on rejection, redefining success on your own terms, and the quiet power of choosing yourself — even when it feels uncomfortable.

This episode is a reminder that pursuing what lights you up requires bravery, presence, and faith — and that sometimes the most transformative moments happen when you give yourself the space to listen.

PS: THANK YOU TO ALL OUR DREAMERS FOR TUNING INTO SEASON 1, we love you so much!!!

In this episode, Nina and Caroline reconnect and reflect on how much we’ve grown since launching the podcast — the revelations, the unraveling, and the rebuilding. We talk about what it really means to be vulnerable, to unlearn the pressures the world places on us, and to create moments of connection and celebration that actually matter.

We dive into giving back, recognizing our privilege, and the tension between who we’re becoming and who the world expects us to be. Through the lens of The Artist’s Way, we unpack the emotional journey of confronting anger, taking responsibility for our own suffering, and choosing new patterns even when it feels like shedding an old identity.

This conversation explores the messy middle — the gray space where sadness and joy coexist, where composure meets expression, and where authenticity slowly expands. At its core, this episode is about embracing duality, or what we call Yin and Yangin.

In this episode, Caroline and Nina sit down with Annie, a therapist, yoga teacher, and all-around wise soul, for a warm and insightful conversation about the power of female friendships, the role of astrology in self-discovery, and how sports and mental health intersect.

Through personal stories and real-time reflections, they explore how to navigate holiday stress with more intention, more grace, and way less guilt. From the magic of Christmas to the “let them” theory (aka releasing control and choosing your own energy), this conversation is all about staying grounded in who you are, even when the season gets loud.

It’s candid, cozy, and full of the reminders we all need this time of year: gratitude matters, your responses are your power, and you’re allowed to make the holidays feel good for you.

In this episode, Nina and Caroline celebrate a major milestone — 15,000 views — and reflect on what that validation means in their creative journey.

They explore the importance of understanding the why behind your choices, whether it’s in fitness, creativity, or everyday life — and how curiosity and self-awareness can transform your mindset. Along the way, they share Halloween traditions, lessons learned from inspiring guests, and honest thoughts on building confidence from the inside out.

At its core, this episode is about growth, embracing discomfort, leaning on community, and remembering that confidence isn’t something you find, it’s something you choose and practice every day.

In this episode, we sit down with creative powerhouse Abby Pendergrast to talk about the mindset shifts that turn big ideas into action.

She breaks down how chasing fun and letting your personality shine through your work can unlock authentic energy, leading to powerful manifestations and meaningful progress.

Abby also reflects on her own journey, from landing an assistant role to building a career grounded in clarity, action, and alignment. She emphasizes that if you can dream it and see it, you can absolutely do it — inspiring creatives to take bold, imperfect steps toward their goals. This episode is full of actionable insights for anyone ready to turn ideas into reality, embrace their authentic self, and stop waiting for perfect.
