96 | Rewriting the Narrative Of Our Fears & Traumas with Mac Brazina (The Human Builder)
We all have a story we tell ourselves, usually based on past experiences and events in our lives, but what if we want to change that? Where do we even start? Today, we have the special honor of being joined by Mac Brazina, The Human Builder, who helps breakdown rewriting the narrative of our fears and traumas. Mac has such a powerful way with words and her story is both beautiful and inspiring.
Listen along so you can learn:
What theme you need to change in order to rewrite your narrative
Why physiology plays such a large role in changing your narrative
The steps to take to begin to change your narrative
Why simplicity is so powerful
How to understand and integrate the spiritual aspects of yourSELF
Part of us being spiritual beings and having a human experience is that we are meant to feel all aspects of the human experience. We are meant to explore our shadow self and embrace that side of us to fully be present with our higher self. A shadow or a “demon” is just looking for a bit of compassion. When we give them that, we take away their power. We must remember that we already have everything we need within us.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did. Please see where to reach Mac and her bio below. As always, happy listening :)

95 | Finding the Sweet Spot Between Your Comfort Zone and Growth
In today’s episode we talk about finding the sweet spot between your comfort zone and growth. In order to grow we must go beyond our comfort zone and to actually have that growth we must really challenge ourselves to go outside of that comfort zone. There’s also a point we don’t want to go beyond, because if we do, we stretch ourselves too thin.
Listen along so you can learn:
How to understand your comfort zone
When you’ve gone beyond your bandwidth
How to increase your bandwidth
Why it’s important to stretch yourself
You don’t always have to grow every second of your life but enjoy that new normal once you stretch beyond your comfort zone. Just know that it’s going to come up again where you have that desire to grow or have discontent with the way things are and you will want to challenge yourself again.

94 | Debunking The Myth of 21 Days to Change A Habit
How long does it take to change a pattern? This is a question we got from a listener and this is something we really want to discuss. We know there can be so much pressure put on ourselves when it comes to changing or building a habit. In this episode we debunk the myth of it taking 21 days to change and help guide you on your journey so you can create REAL, sustainable transformation in your life.
Listen along so you can learn:
Where this myth came from
How long it takes to build a habit
What steps to take to build a habit
Ultimately we want to remind you that if you get off track when changing or building a habit, it’s okay. It doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t get back on track. It’s the mental chatter that dissuades us from getting back on track.
As always we love hearing from you! If there is a question you would like us to answer or something you would love to learn about, feel free to message us on our instagrams:

91 | The 5 Bodies Of Our Being with Dr. Skye Zimmermann
We all have a physical body and we often think that this is who we are... but did you know that we actually have FIVE bodies? In today’s episode Kevin is joined by special guest Dr. Skye Zimmermann to talk about and give better understanding to the 5 bodies of our being.
There are many aspects that make up a human being as an operating system. We are spiritual beings having this human experience so how can we operate this system well on Earth? We start with understanding what science has shown and many mystics have known for eons, which is that everything is energy. Everything is consciousness.
Listen along to this episode so you can learn:
What the 5 bodies of our being are
How to take care of these 5 bodies
Where to start with evolving your 5 bodies
When we learn to nourish and nurture all of these bodies, we become awakened. When we awaken, we step into the ascension process, which is how we let go of things that are false, limiting and not of love. It’s ultimately an experience and part of the experience is choosing love over fear.
If you would love to dive deeper into embodying these bodies and consciously creating your reality, then join Skye and Kevin in their upcoming full day LIVE virtual workshop on Saturday, June 26th! http://bit.ly/5DQuantumManifestationWorkshop

90 | The Yin and Yang of Self-Compassion with Dr. Kristen Neff
We have heard the word compassion and we have a general sense of what that means but what about self compassion? Today we are joined by a very special guest, Dr. Kristin Neff, author of Fierce Self Compassion. She is a pioneer in the field of self compassion research. Listen as she shares her story on how she discovered her work and really her purpose.
In this episode you will learn:
What self compassion is
The major difference between self compassion and self esteem
How to develop self compassion
What blocks people from building self compassion
What you can do to practice self compassion
The physiology behind self criticism
What is fierce vs. tender self compassion
Dr. Kristin shares so much amazing and powerful information in this episode! She really grounds for us that self compassion makes us incredibly strong and resilient. When we feel connected to others, when we feel loved by others, then we feel safe. We naturally do this for those we care about and practicing self compassion teaches us how to do this for ourselves.
Dr. Kristin shared some amazing resources and she talked about her book that is coming out June 15th. You can find all this information on her website: https://self-compassion.org/. Please see Dr. Kristin’s bio below. We really enjoyed this episode and hope you did too! Happy listening :)
Dr. Kristin Neff's bio:
Dr. Kristin Neff is currently an Associate Professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is a pioneer in the field of self-compassion research, conducting the first empirical studies on self-compassion almost twenty years ago. In addition to writing numerous academic articles and book chapters on the topic, she is author of the book Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself. In conjunction with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, she has developed an empirically supported training program called Mindful Self-Compassion, which is taught by thousands of teachers worldwide. They co-authored the Mindful Self Compassion Workbook and Teaching the Mindful Self- Compassion Program: A Guide for Professionals. Her newest work focuses on how to balance self- acceptance with the courage to make needed change. In June 2021, she will publish Fierce Self-Compassion: How Women Can Harness Kindness to Speak Up, Claim Their Power, and Thrive.

89 | How To Use Quantum Manifestation
Quantum Manifestation is a topic that can seem complex, yet when we understand quantum manifestation and how to use it in our lives, we can create what we would love. We are beings of energy and everything is energy. Being able to manifest what we would love into our lives is an experience but we can break down steps to take in order to have that experience.
After such a great discussion last week with Dr. Skye Zimmermann about the 5th dimension, we invited her back this week to help us break down quantum manifestation so you can have this experience we are talking about!
Listen along to this episode to learn:
What is quantum manifestation?
How to use quantum manifestation?
What can keep us from manifesting what we would love?
How we can become addicted to certain feelings?
Why support is essential on this journey?
Dr. Skye reminds us that this process can feel overwhelming, but we have everything we need within us to do this. It truly breaks down into such simple steps. Ultimately, it’s about unlearning and to simply start somewhere by taking a baby step.
The Quantum Manifestation workshop is now over, but if you'd like to connect with Skye or Kevin for their current workshops / events, visit their websites @ www.skyevizioncoaching.com & www.kevincarton.com

88 | The 5th Dimension: What is it?
In both science and spirituality, the 5th dimension is a topic that is widely discussed, but vastly misunderstood. While there are complexities to this dimension, there's also a level of simplicity to it!

What is the 5th dimension?
How does 5D reality compare to 3D reality?
What are the detriments to remaining in 3D and what are the benefits of 5D?
What can we do to live more and more in the 5th Dimension?
We answer all these questions and much more!
