520. Sexuality: Coming Home to Your Body and Womb
Focusing on our own personal growth and expansion can so often shift the focus onto external goals, routines, and mindsets—but we can’t forget about the body. A big part of that is our sexuality, whether it’s relating to our own body or our partners. Sex is a powerful energetic force, so how can we get to a place where we are approaching it from a spiritual, elevated place?Tiffany Janay is a sought after motivational speaker, sacred sexuality educator, women's empowerment guide, and the owner of YoniEggs.com. She's made a career of connecting on a personal level with people, assisting them in getting past their fears, hurt, and anxiety as it pertains to their sexuality through her work as a womb wellness advocate and sacred sexuality guide. We dive into the powerful spiritual connection to the womb, how it relates to the ability to create, and practices to honor the womb more deeply. We also tap into the essence of sacred sexuality, what it means, and how you can practice it in your own life. You owe it to yourself to love your whole self.We also talk about:
Leading your way through life by your feelings and curiosity
Having a prayer for your life
Being thankful for the moments life kicks you down
Coming into yourself and your sexuality
Common blocks to making progress
Men's relationships to their bodies
The language we use to describe our body parts
Tending to the womb and the power of creation
The history of yoni eggs

519. Animal Communication: How to Connect with Your Pets
Animals are such an important part of our emotional, mental, and physical health. They seem to understand our emotions – sometimes even more than we do. And if they can sense our emotions, it shouldn’t surprise us to find out that we can communicate with them on an even deeper level.Miranda Alcott is an animal and human communications counselor and she’s dedicated her life to facilitating greater understanding between animals and those that care for them. As children, we communicate intuitively with animals. So as adults working on healing our inner child, it’s important that we learn to get back in touch with that aspect of ourselves.Miranda dives into topics such as supporting our animals as their lives change alongside our own, how to listen harmoniously, and the lessons we can learn from our animals.We also talk about:
Miranda’s story and how she came to recognize her gifts
The HarmoniousListening™ approach and what it entails
Personalities of animals and how they differ
Learning to interpret what our animals teach us
Ongoing growth in your relationship with your animal
Listening to our animals effectively and responding appropriately
Common themes with animals and their messages during the pandemic
Higher-self communication vs. the animal in its 3D body
Supporting your animals when you go on vacation
Animal synchronicities and stories

518. Taking Care Of Yourself While You Help Others With Karena Dawn
Karena Dawn has been on the podcast before talking about fitness and entrepreneurship as the co-founder of Tone It Up. Today, she joins us to talk about her new book, The Big Silence, a memoir about mental illness and healing.The title comes from the idea that there is still such a stigma surrounding mental health and discussing it openly. In it, she goes deep into parts of her life that are so evocative and powerful, from dealing with drugs, being arrested, and managing a strained relationship with her schizophrenic mother.We talk about her story, how to support someone with mental health issues while still taking care of yourself, and how she’s integrated her husband into the mental health discussion. It’s so important for us to break this silence together, have meaningful conversations around mental health, and shut down the stigma once and for all.We also talk about:
Karena’s background of dealing with mental illness in her family
Recognizing the complexity of everyone’s lived experiences
Finding clarity at the end
Taking care of yourself while you help others
Discovering where to set boundaries

517. Healing Doesn't Always Have To Be Hard
Self-reflection isn’t easy.When it comes to doing the hard work, sometimes we’re drawn to looking for easy answers outside of ourselves, pushing us further from the answers that we already hold within.Jenna Reiss is a breathwork facilitator in Los Angeles, a doula, and also works with clients one-on-one. She has her own beautiful practice and teaches online, supporting people in their spiritual evolution through breathwork.In this conversation, she talks about the idea of coming home to yourself, what that means, and why, in our rush to heal, we so often get pushed further outside of ourselves. She also dives into the personal healing journey, and how having compassion for everyone’s individual process starts with self-compassion. Jenna has an open heart and makes you feel good about being yourself. So get ready to laugh, go deep, and come home.We also talk about:
Practicing the art of listening
Taking responsibility for your own healing
Learning to trust yourself
How intuition is not a binary
Getting stuck in a loop
Setting up a support system for yourself
Being with your feelings

516. When You’ve Lost Your Center
You know what it feels like to hold the pose? Those moments where you feel fully present, embodied, and like you can just weather the storm and come out feeling strong? When you’re able to hold your own without reacting to it in the moment, you find so much more clarity and truth on the other side of things. We could all use a little more of that.In this solo episode with Lindsey, she’s going to share some tactical ways you can hold your pose, whether in a hard conversation, a physical reaction to an experience, or something that takes a long time to process and work through. It’s all about being intentional instead of reactive, and asking yourself what you really want to get out of a situation and responding accordingly.If you want to increase your confidence, increase your self-trust, and abandon yourself less, be your highest self in every moment. This one’s for you.We also talk about:
What it means to be in your center
Identifying what it feels like to be in or off your center
Action vs activity
How Lindsey comes back to center
Cultivating a relationship with your center
Breathwork as a way of coming back to the center
Finding a centering tone
Snapping back to your center
Finding tools to help you build healthy habits
Auditing your lifestyle

513. Defining Our Own Wellness Narrative with Dr. Zach Bush
Look, we KNOW y’all love Dr. Zach Bush. How? Because the last time he was on the show was one of our highest downloaded and most widely discussed episodes of all time.

In other words, the man’s a mother-loving fountain of wisdom.His conversation with K+L is hard to quantify, but he touches on a bit of everything, from our physical, mental, and spiritual health, the troubling direction our society is heading in, and what he views to be the antidote to it all.We also talk about:
Changing the public perception around health
Giving up our sovereignty for the sake of convenience
The biodiversity of feelings
Creativity as the path towards self-expression
Redefining the family unit
What comes after consumerism
