Motherhood. Legacy. Death. How does it all intersect? What if you’re not a mother to physical children in this lifetime?

Slowing down, creating empty space, and allowing for “nothingness” are foreign concepts in our modern western society. We have been conditioned to believe that our productivity IS our value, and because of that we operate with a “more is always more” approach to life. Not only is this harming us on an individual level, but it is harming us as a society. By addressing this habitual approach to life...

We become fixated on transforming our outer world, but what we don’t realize is that our inner experience of the world is helping to create our outer experience. It’s a loop. A self-fulfilling prophecy. When you alter the way you habitually experience your inner world, you have the power to change the trajectory of your entire life.   We Dive into:    ·      The Model: Thoughts -> Emotions -&gt...

I was raised on the belief that each generation is called to build upon the previous generations and to do “better” with your life than those that went before you. But HOW, exactly, do we do that? So many people are prone to black-and-white thinking, where we either take ALL of what our upbringing gave us or NONE of it. This podcast sheds light on how to pick apart the nuance in order to keep what...

We live in a world that prizes the logical mind above all else, but what about the wisdom of all of the many parts of us that live below the neck??? We always talk about the mind-body connection, but what does it mean to put that connection into practice? In this podcast we will discuss our resistance to receiving anything but logical information, and how very illogical that is.    We Dive into: ...

So many people delay their transformation, especially in active addiction, until they “hit rock bottom.” This is a dangerous cycle and mindset that lives in our bodies, minds, and our culture as a whole. It requires that something awful must happen in order for something beautiful to be possible.    We Dive into:  ·      Black and White thinking; and what it means to live in the nuance of all the...

The E-Myth by Michael E. Gerber teaches entrepreneurs to delve deeply into the inner-workings of their businesses, as well as into the inner-workings of their lives. Reading The E-Myth inspired Kacey to understand more fully that life, just like yoga, is truly a practice. And when we look at life like a practice, we can be more powerful, and maybe even have more FUN.  We dive into: ·  The relation...

What does it feel like to be you, these days? Life is big and heavy for a lot of folks right now. How do you move forward and create the life you desire, when all this heaviness is in the way?

Each of us has different strategies for getting our needs met and moving through life. Often times, these strategies are so deeply entrenched that we don’t even know we’re doing them. We are unconscious to these patterns. In this podcast, we discuss our human tendency to use negative/unwanted emotions and energy to compel us to generate positive/desirable outcome. We dive into: ·  The relatio...

What if I told you that how you FEEL inside of yourself most of the time is the KEY INGREDIENT to getting where you're going?

Robin Wall Kimmerer's book Braiding Sweetgrass is a beautiful intersection between science and nature, and shows us what is possible for us when we move in relationship to nature rather than an executor of it. This book touched Kacey deeply, and in this episode she explores some of the tangibles that might be useful in our healing as a culture, as well as some reasons why we can't let it in. We di...

Sometimes the burdens of life can accumulate to become so heavy…unbearable at times. What if things become so heavy because we’re carrying burdens that don’t belong to us, we just can’t see that they aren’t ours once we’re carrying them? In this podcast, we discuss the process by which our nervous system fills and saturates with unwanted emotional energy to the degree where it is difficult to func...

We trust Mother Nature to ebb and flow, yet we choose to push ourselves through year-round regardless of what’s happening around us. What is the cost of this? We have forgotten about the Laws of Nature. Whatever is possible in Nature, is possible for each of us as well, as we are deeply a part of nature. What can we do to come more into harmony with her lessons?  In this episode, we discuss h...

We honor the ancient sacred practice of Yoga by allowing it to become part of who we ARE, rather than simply something that we DO. And we allow the Yoga to become part of who we ARE, by learning to live yoga all throughout the workings of our lives. The practice is not isolated to rubber mats and heated studios and perfect-looking poses.  In this episode, we discuss the 8-Limbed Yoga Path and...

In this inaugural podcast, we discuss the nature of the heart, and how the Yogic Granthis, the energetic knots that form inside us, tend to keep us safe and also stuck. In this...

If we’re all here to live our best lives and express who we are out in the world, then why can that be so challenging and even counter-intuitive? Why is it so hard to be my fullest, realest, most-true Self? We all desire to be self-actualized, and yet we are wound by layers and layers of conditioning that tells us we have to fit in in order to be safe. How do you unwind it all? In this episode, we...

Your Nervous System, and specifically your Nervous System’s response to STRESS, is at the center of everything in your life. Every. Single. Thing. In this podcast, we discuss Polyvagal theory, the body and mind’s responses and adaptations to stress, and how those responses affect and change us.  We dive into:  • Kacey’s non-scientific explanation of her understanding of Polyvagal theory...
