524. The Gift of Being in a Body + How To Tune In
It is what it is, right? But, that’s not a mindset that comes easily – or quickly.For many of us, our teens and twenties are filled with changing – wanting to change, feeling pressures to change. After thirty, and after doing the work, a shift starts to happen. We look in the mirror and wink at ourselves instead of wishing for something to be different. Lindsey sits down for this deeply personal solo episode to walk listeners through her own body attunement journey, from watching herself in home movies as a wiggling four year-old, to learned familial beliefs on body, her (sometimes toxic) relationship with fitness, and unpacking early sexual encounters. Everything is on the table, because everything in life is connected to our physical self. Tune in and take note to start feeling better in your body, more harmonized in the feminine, restorative, juicy goodness that is this physical vehicle, on this planet. It’s a beautiful thing, and when we can truly celebrate it, it shines through in the rest of our lives.We also talk about:
Everything is everything
What is body attunement to me?
Reprogramming negative familial beliefs
Being aware of how social media makes us feel
Unpacking impactful sexual experiences
How we process outside information
Identifying areas where we can be more attuned with our body
Considering our cycles as the seasons
Infusing your food with intention

523. Free Yourself With 4 Questions with Byron Katie
Byron Katie is known around the world as an author and a thought leader among thought leaders, a voice so clear and yet so intellectually complex that you might find yourself replaying this episode once or twice to grasp the beautiful concept of radical inquiry that she presents in her work. Calling her process “The Work,” she invites readers (and listeners!) to ask four questions of themselves in times of angst, challenge, or overthinking: Is it true? Can you absolutely know it's true? How do you react when you believe that thought? Who would you be without the thought?It seems simple enough. But, sit with even the first question, truly – and you'll realize we’re headed down a path of the divine, but unknown. Weaving metaphors and vivid imagery like an artist, Byron Katie takes K+L on a spiritual journey, starting with a morning walk, where the only thing bigger than the ideas are the questions. You’re invited to open your mind and let it all (nothing) wash over you.We also talk about:
The importance and beauty of a morning walk
Her spiritual awakening journey
The 4 questions from Loving What Is
How to become an observer of our thoughts
How everyone in the world is our teacher
Taking radical responsibility
How to work on our stories related to body image, relationships, and fear
How to deal with pain and suffering in the world aka how to approach reality

522. Use This Method for a Better Relationship with Your Body
Do you ever feel like there are a few different versions of yourself that come out during certain situations? In some recent therapy work, Krista has learned that… well, maybe there are. In this episode, she takes Almost 30 nation into her personal therapy journey, unpacking her self-leadership work using the Internal Family System (IFS) method to identify, observe, respect, and understand the distinct parts of her being that protect and project less-than-ideal behavior, especially as it relates to her body acceptance.We meet the Manager, the Firefighter, and the Exile. But, no parts of us are bad. This is an important caveat to remember. Meeting and understanding these different forces within us is what helps us observe our lives and environments for ways we may encourage, or discourage, their appearances in place of Self, our highest and most pure form.This one goes deep, and invites us to look within ourselves for a different perspective, or two, on who we are, and why. Enjoy.We also talk about:
Check ins on projects and processing long creative gestation periods
Krista shares her body acceptance journey
Introducing Internal Family Systems (IFS) method
The manager, keeping you busy, productive, and distracted
The firefighter, doing whatever it takes to bring you to equilibrium
Exiles, forgotten and missing parts of your past and present
Understanding and acknowledging their roles
Feeling their love and working in unison with Self
