470. Out of the Mind and Into The Body with Taryn Toomey
Taryn Toomey, founder of The Class, helps regulate the mental gymnastics of our mind with intentional movement. Her mission has flipped the notion that self-awakening is solely a job for the intellectual brain by spotlighting exercise as a means to exorcise what needs releasing.Taryn shares her personal journey, working through a challenging childhood and the kismet ways The Class snowballed during the pandemic. As she sheds old skin, releasing relationships, “guru” projections, and past versions of self, The Class has grown into a movement that not only serves others but is a mirror to measure her own internal landscape. We also talk about:
Reframing shadow work
Working through enmeshment and unprocessed trauma
How Taryn protects her energy
The science behind The Class
Superficial spirituality and guru projections
Being of service
Healing after a relationship

469. What if my partner isn't spiritual?
Anger, disappointment, betrayal. These are the textbook reactions to your partner when they show no interest in your self-awakening.

So, what do you do when you’re filling your cup with all the self-help books, crystals – ALL the things – but your partner is not interested in following the same path?If you feel yourself falling down a rabbit hole of spiritual manipulation, tune into this solo episode with Krista, where she unpacks the do’s and don'ts of addressing spiritual imbalance in partnership and how to silence the spiritual ego from rearing its not-so-enlightened head.We also talk about:
The spiritual ego and how it manifests
Celebrating similarities in partnership
Finding a sacred community
How to appreciate your partner where they’re at
Feeling independent on your spiritual journey
Spiritual red flags

468. Animals and Their Healing Powers with Alyson Charles
During Alyson Charles' brutal yet beautiful spiritual awakening, animals were a daily medicine that coaxed repressed traumas to the surface. Through the initiation, she rebirthed as "RockStar Shaman" with a mission to collaborate directly with the wisdoms of Mother Earth and Great Spirit/Source, and bridge the gap between animals and humans. Her spiritual allegiance to the animal world comes full circle with her new book, Animal Power, which decodes the spiritual significance of 100 species along with transformative practices to deepen your relationship with the power animal wanting to support you at this time. In this episode, Alyson reveals the emotionally-charged backstory to birthing her living, breathing medicine book, the responsibility of owning her role as a shaman, and how lessons from surrender and celibacy led her to find sacred union with Luke Storey. We also talk about:
Exploring the death portal
The potency of illustrations in Animal Power
The meaning behind The Eagle Condor Prophecy
How to connect to your power animal
The responsibility that comes with spiritual gifts
Advice on surviving a spiritual awakening
The inner work to finding an aligned relationship

467. Jenna Kutcher: Blending Motherhood and Entrepreneurship
Minnesota mama and marketing pro, Jenna Kutcher, has ticked off all the things on “the list.” She built a seven-figure digital business from scratch (thanks to a $300 camera purchase on Craigslist), married her life partner, and is a mother after years of trying. Now, Jenna’s sights are set beyond Instagram strategy. She’s changing the blueprint of what motherhood should look like, and is focusing on the present. The gifts she’s received have been tenfold. She learned how to delegate as a CEO, became the sole breadwinner of her (growing) family, and made actionable steps towards inclusivity in her business. The goal is not set in stone. Jenna is constantly shedding, cleaning out her closet, trying things on for size, and reclaiming the titles she’s picked up along the way. After all, isn’t that the point of living?We also talk about:
The path to motherhood and experience miscarrying
Jenna’s hormone reset, getting pregnant and coming home to her body
Taking maternity leave as an entrepreneur and parenting arrangements
Accepting your own timeline and allowing yourself to evolve
How to be an entrepreneur, business owner, and maintain your creative vision
Lessons learned from the pandemic and how it shifted her focus
Leveraging social media for good

465. Living Authentically with Emma Zeck
Emma Zeck has logged off. She skipped New York and a relationship that wasn’t serving her, and let conditional friendships fall away. Sometimes, she even ejects herself from the rabbit hole of Instagram to dance in the woods. When was the last time you immersed yourself in nature without capturing it on camera?Living authentically has proven to be true medicine for Emma, even if it’s a hard concoction to swallow at times.

In this episode, K + L provide a safe space for Emma to speak uninterrupted and unfiltered about her self-discovery journey thus far, searching for validation in self-help books, partners, and people before realizing she already had all the answers within herself.

Public persona, self-abandonment, and lessons learned from being canceled

463. Morning Rituals to Unleash Your Creativity with Morgan Harper Nichols
K + L get the tea on Morgan Harper Nichols morning routine, and what lays the groundwork for birthing all the beautiful gifts she brings to the world.

Now, thanks to her collaboration with Starbucks, your morning coffee can be an act of self-care. Before you roll your eyes at yet another "morning routine" chat, know that this convo steers clear from dogmatic formulas (who is really journaling for 30 minutes every day anyway)? Instead, think of it as an open-ended invitation for you to explore the small rituals that fuel your creativity and celebrate your life. So feel free to hit the snooze button, and indulge in donuts in bed. You can still sit with us. We also talk about:
K + L’s morning routines
Why coffee grounds Morgan for her day
The question she asks every morning to stay present
Creating art in any environment
