2M ago38:38

38:38

37 | Exploring Neurodivergence + the Dark Side of Being an Influencer with Megan Griffith 44:05

3M ago44:05

44:05

You’ve probably heard someone in your life say something like this (or perhaps had the thought yourself): “How is it that EVERYONE all the sudden has ADHD and autism?!” Weellll that’s not exactly any more true than saying there’s “all the sudden” a bunch of trans people around, when really they’ve always been there— just more closeted since their r…

3M ago44:43

44:43

n a world that often feels disorienting with its speed and complexity, finding our true selves can sometimes seem like a search for a needle in a vast, shifting haystack. This quest for personal identity and authenticity was the focus of a deep and insightful conversation on my podcast Honor Your Spark, where I was recently joined by existential ps…

35 | Own Your Career by Finding Your Power Mood with Sam DeMase 37:30

4M ago37:30

37:30

The corporate world is not exactly known for being fair to women. Even with significant progress made in recent decades, the wage gap still has women getting paid 16% less than their male counterparts (substantially worse for women of color), and women are often passed up for promotions or higher-level positions. Remember this exchange from the Bar…

34 | Goblincore: A Deep Dive into the Aesthetic & Lifestyle with Author McKayla Coyle 41:06

4M ago41:06

41:06

Aesthetic styles like Minimalism, Grunge, Rustic, and Boho have been in the mainstream awareness for a quite a while now— and in recent years, social media has made it possible for folks to connect around more niche aesthetics like Cottagecore, Y2K, Academia, Old Money (for real), and— one of my personal favorites— Goblincore. And similarly to Mini…

Transforming Pain Into Power and Purpose with 4x TEDx Speaker and Thought Leader Elayna Fernandez 58:39

5M ago58:39

58:39

When I was pronounced dead, I knew it, not because they said it, but because all of those emotions were gone. I only felt peace, I had a deeper understanding and I was so hyper aware and it was like that's me, but I'm me and I'm just an energy, I'm just a presence. - Elayna Fernandez Have you experienced the transformative power of pain? Today’s ep…

32 | Why Micro Activism is the Most Powerful Way to Make an Impact with Omkari Williams 47:20

5M ago47:20

47:20

The idea of being an “activist” can feel incredibly daunting. Since not a single person can ~save the world~ even if activism is their full-time job, it doesn’t take much to start feeling that creeping sense of “Why bother?”. Omkari Williams is here to tell you why we should still bother— and how we can think of activism in a way that actually fits…

Plant-Based Seeds of Change: Nourishing the Body, Mind, and Soul with Planted Expo's Stevan Mirkovich 51:26

5M ago51:26

51:26

Religion, in its pure sense is to reconnect, in this sense, humankind to the transcendent. So I think it's actually a positive word, but you have to reclaim it, much like the LGBTQ plus community has taught us to reclaim the word queer, which can be a very positive word if understood correctly. So in that sense, I think veganism can be religious in…

Following Your Heart and Tantalizing Your Taste Buds with Celebrity Vegan Baker Chris Tucker 40:03

5M ago40:03

40:03

I ended up getting on [The Great American Baking Show] which was crazy... went over to London and shot for six weeks and just had the time of my life.

And it was from that moment on that I kind of started tr…

31 | The Power of Becoming ‘Body Aware’ with Erica Hornthal 56:20

6M ago56:20

56:20

Our modern world is paradoxical in many ways, one being this: people will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on books, courses, coaching, and therapy to become more self-aware— and yet, our technology and pace of living can cause us to be anything BUT aware. Instead, we often find ourselves on autopilot, seldom relying on critical thinking or r…

Plant-Based, Practical, and Not Pretentious with Shane Martin 52:46

6M ago52:46

52:46

I heard a lyric from a song the other day... that said, "There's no one more thankful to sit at a table than the one who best remembers hunger's pain." And so when these hard times come and these moments, it really is like a gut punch. But then you look back and it just makes you appreciate things going forward. - Shane Martin When Shane Martin dec…

30 | Healing from Narcissistic Abuse + The Dark Side of the Coaching Industry with Angela Gentile 47:34

6M ago47:34

47:34

Anyone who hasn’t been through some kind of substantial hardship yet has no business being a therapist or coach. There— I said it. No, your therapist/coach doesn’t need to have gone through the same experiences you have; but if they haven’t even set foot inside the school of hard knocks, how the hell are they supposed to have the perspective to hel…

8M ago45:57

45:57

The word “budget” often brings up the same connotations as the word “diet”: restriction, deprivation, punishment— basically, a total JOYKILL. On the flipside of the coin, I realized recently that I actually also had a negative connotation with the word “profit” (greedy, using people, capitalist pig, etc.)—talk about damned if you do, damned if you …
