540. How to Thrive as an Empath: Understand The Shadow Side and Your Gifts
Empaths of the world – you may have seen, or felt, this one coming.Krista’s been open and expressive about her ongoing journey of exploring the oceanic depths of her ability to sense, to feel, and to absorb the emotions and energies around her, so it’s only right that we sit down as a community to unpack what she’s learned.The truth is that empathy means deeply caring for everyone and everything, but the answer in maintaining, even thriving, amidst all of that input is to focus on self. Self-care and energetic cleansing are great for the empathic souls within all of us.We also talk about:
Energy matching
Tuning into vibrational frequency
Losing yourself to outside experiences
How we interact with overstimulating environments
Checking in with your own needs
What the scroll is actually doing for our mind

537. Friendship Breakups: How to Deal + How to Heal
It’s a touchy topic that’s been in the zeitgeist for the last couple of years – either spurred by our general societal upheaval and the change it’s bringing about within people, something less, or something even more – friend break ups are sometimes a part of life. And they can be even more painful than breaking things off in a romantic relationship. There’s often more time invested and thus, more depth. More experience and trust.K+L drop in for today’s solo episode to discuss this very thing. When do you know it’s time to break up with a friend? What are the signs, both within yourself and between the two of you, that might be clues that something is off? And, most importantly, how do you talk about it with them? Or, do you at all?We can all agree at this point in our evolution that toxicity and rudeness are not the answers. So, how do we approach this change with grace? With compassion and understanding? Tune in to get real life advice from these two open hearts.We also talk about:
How do you know when it's time to break up with a friend?
Listening to your body’s clues
Having a conversation vs. letting it dissolve
What might cause a friendship breakup?
Feeling your emotions
Taking accountability
Recognizing subconscious patterns
Taking your time with the situation

533. Exploring the Feminine Experience and its Relationship to Capitalism, Feminism, and Burnout
We are completely burning ourselves out – full stop. In this stream-of-consciousness solo episode, Krista delves into her perceptions of our current reality, specifically, that related to the deepening bond between capitalism and modern feminism. What does it mean to be a feminist in 2022? Or, more importantly, what are we being told that it means? How has a grinding life of hustling and climbing the corporate ladder become so much more heavily favored over a loving, soft, nurturing life at home raising a family? There’s got to be room for all shades of the feminine palette.Krista opens the door to a wider experience, for a more inclusive ideology that, instead of shaming or shutting people out, makes space for respect, freedom, and happiness for all of the many manifestations of our time here on earth.We also talk about:
The connections between modern feminism + capitalism
Harmful social norms + where they came from
Reclaiming words that were taken from us
Giving up the negative baggage
Living in true freedom + choice
Embracing all parts of us as divine
