From that devastating loss came a new practice: death charts — an astrological...

Episode 67 of Via Love and Evolution picks up where we left off. After Katrina’s very real, triggered rant in Episode 66, she comes back to the conversation with something important to say.... remember that ranting, triggered part? That's only ONE part of her. Because we are all more than our worst moments. In this episode, Katrina reflects on what it looks like to meet the parts of ourselves that...

Episode 66 of Via Love and Evolution is triggering. Turns out Sarah and Katrina have at least one thing they fundamentally disagree about: the joy of running. It starts innocently enough. Sarah shares the dopamine rush of completing Day One of a new running streak and talks about motivation, inspiration, and the satisfaction that can come from simply showing up for yourself. And then Katrina gets...

This week, Sarah shares vulnerably about navigating a major transition into the next chapter of her life. Along the way, an old, familiar...

Episode 63 is a little more expletive-heavy than usual, kids... and a hell of a good time.
