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
Embracing the love and support of Mother Nature

Why Lilly doesn’t recommend anyone give a TED Talk
The changing cultural landscape around traditional TV

How many of us truly understand what it means to be mindful?Manoj Dias was raised under Buddhist mindfulness traditions. Today, he’s also deeply embedded in the modern world.

Being mindful in your friendships
Creating a relationship with pain
Changing your narrative around love
Leaving your old life behind
