January 25, 2023 15:34 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MBThis week we are talking about ANGER! Yes! Anger! And how there is such value in expressing those emotions that we aren't always encouraged to explore.

Ep. 210 The Message and the Mouse
January 13, 2023 19:14 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MBIt's another podcast! Guess what? Natalie has had a little visitor. A tiny furry visitor in her apartment. And now she has a story for us! We talk about learning to identify our own needs, not putting our "savior" outside of ourselves, and creating a secure environment for ourselves, AND... this is the first podcast that you can watch the video of! Song: Tell Me by Andy Gammon
Ep. 209 Real Self-Love
November 01, 2022 21:36 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MBThis week's special guest is Natalie's sweet baby girl, Elena! And just like a newborn needs love, care, attention, and nurturing, so does every single one of us. This week Natalie and Kristin talk about how to ask the question "What does my body need?" and to tune in for the answers, everyday and moment by moment. As we can feel the calls and pressures of life, how does each one of us slow down to take care of the precious one inside first. Yes, first, not after all the things are done. We ...

She shares her birth story with us, and what she has learned in her process as a mother so far. We expand the conversation to what it is to "mother" in the creative sense, and how birthing something new in the world takes a deep inner listening. We discuss the obstacles that arise as we bring anything to life. We also talk about loving and trusting the creation as we learn how to love and trust ourselves.
Ep. 206 What’s on Your Mind?
May 26, 2022 17:28 - 45 minutes - 62.7 MBWhen our minds get into obsession about something or someone, what is that telling us about ourselves? This week we talk about why the mind wants to leave the present moment, and the tricky ways we avoid feeling our pain.

Ep. 205 On Shame and Value
May 11, 2022 12:00 - 52 minutes - 72.6 MBFasten your seatbelts, friends, we are talking about shame this week! Where is the unlikely place that shame shows up?

Ep. 203 Hands In the Clay
March 23, 2022 12:00 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MBWhat does it mean to have your "hands in the clay?" This week we are talking about actively being involved in the formation of our own lives. We are surrounded by potential, the raw materials of creation. We also talk about inner and inter-dependence as we examine looking at our patterns in order to love and heal them. All of life is our opportunity to have our "hands in the clay."

February 21, 2022 13:20 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MBIt's rainbow sweaters! It's listening to your body!

Ep. 201 Yes, it's Fluid!
January 26, 2022 21:25 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBReality is fluid! Who we are is fluid! Life is constantly changing as the universe itself is evolving. We talk about co-creating in a world that is ever alive and dynamic. In the same way, we acknowledge that our dream is also always moving and revealing itself to us. We can't use yesterday's blueprint in today's world. Energy is flowing and form is shifting... It's fluid! And we are constantly creating a ripple effect with our actions.
Ep. 200 Birthing your Creative Babies
January 12, 2022 05:00 - 46 minutes - 42.1 MBThis is our 200 episode! How exciting! The CREATE podcast is a "creative baby" that we have loved birthing into the world. This week, Natalie shares some personal news with us, and we explore what it is like to give birth to a creative idea.

Ep. 199 The Gift of the Other
December 01, 2021 12:05 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MBIt's the holiday season and it's time for GIFTS! This week we are talking about how we ALL have different feelings and different needs, and we process them all in our own way. When it comes to feelings, there isn't any right or wrong. We are all unique in the way we do things. There is a huge GIFT in accepting our differences as we also learn how to accept ourselves.
Ep. 198 Who's Leading Who?
November 10, 2021 20:09 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MBHave you ever thought of yourself in a constant dance with Life? How much is "us"? And how much is the formless playing and creating through us? This week we talk about actively creating life, and letting life be created through us. Are we following Life, or is Life following us? Or are both simultaneously happening at the same time?
Ep. 197 We Get To Decide
September 21, 2021 16:33 - 38 minutes - 35.6 MBThis week we are talking a lot about un-doing labels and categorization so that we can go beyond the binary into the ever-evolving space that is the essence of life. We discuss the inspirational work of Alok Vaid-Menon. We also talk about the power of holding opposites in all situations, and how intentionally leaving space for creation creates a gateway for who we are going to be next.
Ep. 196 In the "Fix-ness"
August 25, 2021 16:11 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MBWe've invented a term for when a person gets preoccupied by trying to "fix" themselves! We stumbled on this idea when reviewing one of our very first podcasts on insecurity. This week, we discuss that whatever we want to “fix” actually points us to the parts that are asking to be loved. The “fixness” itself can be an avoidance of intimacy. So, instead of trying to “fix” can we bring empathy and unconditional self-love into this moment?
Ep. 195 Where the Power is
July 29, 2021 16:00 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBThis week is all about the Form and Formless. Matter and Spirit. What comes first. Why that scares us. Where we put our trust. Kristin lets us into her next adventure, while Natalie shares the process of how she "created" her romance.
Ep. 194 Holding "For" or "Against"
July 21, 2021 19:39 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MBThis week we are talking about our relationships: romantic, artistic, business, and friendships. We discuss the power we each have in our perception to either raise up or to create separation. As there is so much division in the world, how do we not make an "other" and how can we use conflict or difference as an opportunity to take personal responsibility? Where are triggers in a relationship an indication that there is some shadow work to be done?
Ep. 193 The Sermon You Didn't Ask For!
July 05, 2021 22:48 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MBHahaha! Nope, we're not giving a sermon this week! We are actually sharing the adventures of our weekend trip to Austin, Texas. Hear all about our inside jokes, our two-step dancing, and how all of life was communicating with us in a myriad of different ways. Picture recommendations - Could be pictures of travel? Or a picture of cowboy boots dancing? A taco truck? Maybe a road map?
Ep. 192 Life is Here to Be Lived
June 11, 2021 16:00 - 45 minutes - 42 MBThis week we talk about what is emerging through us — as individuals and as a collective. We talk about how our values get shaped in this creative process called life. Then we dig into thoughts on how the universe is reflecting back to us what is inside of us and how that helps us to grow!
Ep. 191 When the Fear Is Here
June 02, 2021 18:09 - 45 minutes - 41.6 MBThis week we are talking about how we've noticed that there seems to be "fear" in the air. Or, another way of saying it, is you can feel the collective anxiety of the human condition coming up to be felt. This is actually positive movement, because we are going from a place of "repressed fear" to "expressed fear" as part of the releasing and transmuting process. This week, we talk about how this is happening in individuals as it occurs at the same time inside the larger collective.
Ep. 190 Divine Discontent
May 26, 2021 12:00 - 36 minutes - 33 MBHave you ever noticed that there's always something in your life, your art, your relationships, or your career that you're just not satisfied with? That it's never all "done." That you always find yourself reaching for something. Well, what if the Discontent has a purpose? What if the gap or distance actually creates room for Life to demonstrate itself to us? What is the job isn't to get rid of that space, but to change our relationship with it? This week, we talk about all of that, and we n...

That it's never all "done." That you always find yourself reaching for something. Well, what if the Discontent has a purpose? What if the gap or distance actually creates room for Life to demonstrate itself to us? What is the job isn't to get rid of that space, but to change our relationship with it?

Ep. 189 What Are You Listening To?
May 19, 2021 12:02 - 59 minutes - 54.2 MBIs it the voice of your intuition that you hear? Is it the voice of your fears? How can we tell the difference? What do we do with the ever present duality that is always in us? Where are we looking for direction? Do we value outer authority over inner authority? We are back after a little break and here are just a few of the questions that we are asking ourselves this week!
Ep. 188 From Clutter to Clarity with Kerri Richardson
March 18, 2021 18:00 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MBWhere is the clutter in your life? Is it in your home, your inbox, or in your relationships, or your emotions? This week, we are talking to lifestyle designer, trained coach, and best-selling author Kerri Richardson about what our clutter is trying to tell us, and how we can move what we "don't want" out of the way to live a life in alignment with our dreams.

Ep. 186 The Choiceless Choice of Presence
February 17, 2021 15:11 - 49 minutes - 45.3 MBThis podcast also could have been called, "The Surprise Podcast" as Natalie surprises Kristin with the podcast topic this week! Natalie goes deep into a download that she received on "overcoming," which leads to a conversation about trusting our innate value, and ultimately, "the choiceless choice of presence."
Ep. 185 Episodes We Love: The Foreign Nature of Joy
February 11, 2021 05:00 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBSince we are in the middle of a global pandemic and it isn't easy to travel like it once was, Natalie & I thought we’d bring you a podcast from one of our favorite Paris adventures! The interesting thing about travel is how we can allow ourselves to let go and meet the unexpected. We let ourselves be led by our curiosity and joy. Those energies are always inside us, and they always want to lead us somewhere… When we listen to them, we are listening from an embodied place, deeper than the min...

Ep. 180 Opposing Forces
December 09, 2020 05:55 - 43 minutes - 40 MBYou know how every story has a villain? Darth Vader, Voldemort, or Miss Hannigan… the list of these delicious antagonists goes on and on. But why do we love them in our stories? Because, truth be told, we need them in our lives. Opposing forces are essential to our growth. Stories aren’t just uninteresting without conflict. They actually lack the essential building blocks that a hero (or heroine) needs in order to know themselves. So what does this tell us about our lives? And how does the w...
Ep. 179 Two Worlds
November 23, 2020 15:56 - 49 minutes - 45.2 MB“As above, so below.” Mystics have talked for centuries about living in between two worlds. One might look at it as the world of spirit, and the world of form. Or see the world of love, and the world of ego. And yet, the question seems, “how do we create unity among opposites?” Can we love both parts equally as part of a deeper unity? This week we are talking about non-duality and oneness even amidst the inherent separation that we find. How do we see all as parts of a necessary whole?
Ep. 178 Somewhere We’ve Never Been
October 29, 2020 16:00 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBWhen Life brings us to a place we’ve never been before, there can be a tendency to want to hold and cling to the known. But what happens when we take that nervous energy and turn it into excitement about unknown territories? There are places that are calling to you explore. Places you may have never been to before. As upheaval happens, and as our circumstance & our experience starts to change, can we realize that we have been changed in the process? And, wherever we are being led or guided t...
Ep. 177 Intuition (The Unknown Ferrari)
October 14, 2020 20:47 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MBDid you know there’s a Ferrari that’s parked in your garage? And it just wants you to drive it?!? This week, we talk about Intuition. It’s like having a souped-up race car that belongs to you — and it's just waiting for you to drive it. And it makes life FUN! Albert Einstein said, "The only real valuable thing is intuition.” So what is? How do we use it? How do we trust it? These are all the questions that we dive into. Now, it’s time to joy ride!!
Ep. 176 Slow is the New Fast
October 05, 2020 22:01 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MBHas 2020 taught us to go slower? This week we talk about un-doing the hustle, push, and achieve mentality that many of us were brought up with. We discuss the idea that there’s “nothing to prove” and what happens when we allow for space in our lives. We also muse about Mother Nature, connection with our bodies, and explore the “deep listening" that is able to occur when we return to our natural rhythms.
Ep. 175 I Have No Idea What I’m Doing
September 21, 2020 16:22 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MBHave you ever wanted — maybe even needed — to throw your arms up in the arm and exclaim “I have no idea what I’m doing!” Isn’t that the gift of 2020? We don’t even have to pretend anymore that we know? We can relax into the “not knowing.” And in this precious surrender, this deep opening and allowing, we may allow life to move through us. Not knowing may be the greatest gift. And this allows what we DO know, what is clear, to be strong and sure inside of us.
Ep. 174 Jump in the Waves
September 06, 2020 19:36 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MBInspired by Natalie’s honeymoon in the south of France, this week we are talking about life being the ocean that asks us to surrender. We “dive into” the illusion of control, surfing with the present moment, and how trusting the Universe (and our projects) allows us to enjoy the waves in a whole new way.
Ep. 173 Natalie’s Love Story
August 27, 2020 14:15 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MBIn honor of Natalie being on her honeymoon, we wanted to share with you Natalie’s story of meeting her hubby, their courtship, their marriage, and how the pandemic created obstacles to overcome!

Ep. 172 Let's Get It Wrong!
August 20, 2020 17:08 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MBThis week we are talking about permission to be human. We are here to experiment and discover, so we are never going to get it all "right!" In fact, that's not the point. We dive into the concept that our humanity -- with all its messiness and wounds -- is so holy. We aren't here to cover up our imperfections (or even get rid of them!), but to embrace and accept ALL that we are. We talk about what it means to be embodied and repair the relationship with self, so that we can listen to the bod...
