Send us Fan Mail When crisis strikes and the headlines stay silent, what do we do with the fear that rises? In this raw, unscripted episode, Kris shares what happened when her daughter’s school went into lockdown after a bomb threat—and no news outlet offered real-time updates. Everyone is safe, but the silence spoke volumes. This is not a story about panic. It’s a reflection on truth-telling , me...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is for the ones who learned to earn love by being useful. For the people-pleasers, the strong ones, the givers.

Send us Fan Mail This episode is pure joy, and a proud moment for me. About nine months ago I had a playful idea: What if emotions and life lessons could be interviewed like real guests? That creative spark became my “Spirit Interviews” in season 2… and honestly, it changed me. In this recap, I introduce each guide, share the heart lesson they brought, and point you to the episodes so you can bing...

Send us Fan Mail 2025 was full—beautiful, exhausting, and deeply shaping. In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest lessons I’m carrying forward: staying peaceful without joining the chaos, boundaries as love in action, listening to the body as wisdom, loving people without suffering for them, strengthening discernment, and remembering that being is doing . I also offer a simple 6-prompt “Thank You...

Send us Fan Mail This one’s close to my heart. In this episode, I (host, Kris LeDonne) share a story about a total stranger who sat beside me on the beach and reminded me what safe space really feels like. No advice, no fixing—just presence. And it changed everything. Together, we’ll talk about what “holding space” truly means, why it matters more than ever, and how we can practice compassion with...

Send us Fan Mail What if some of your most normal phrases are quietly hitting the gas and the brake on your life? In this episode, Kris shares how a loving compliment from her dear friend Lily opened her eyes to “word spells”—those everyday sayings like “hope for the best, prepare for the worst,” “don’t get your hopes up,” and “I’m just being realistic” that mix hope with fear and keep us stuck. Y...

Send us Fan Mail ***UPDATED RECORDING***  In a world overflowing with noise, urgency, and endless distraction, it’s easy to forget the medicine that’s been with us since childhood: levity, laughter, and face-to-face connection.

Send us Fan Mail In this short but powerful episode, Kris offers a compassionate bridge for anyone who listened to last week’s conversation about appreciation and thought, “I’m not there yet.” Today’s message is for the tender ones… the tired ones… and the ones stuck in a story they don’t quite know how to step out of. With empathy and clarity, Kris explores the difference between presence and rep...

Send us Fan Mail In this unscripted heart-to-heart, Kris LeDonne invites you to explore the beauty of being in progress.

Together we explore what it means to: Release p...

Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is a little different—because I’m giving myself permission to pause before life forces me into one. Behind the scenes, I’ve been pouring heart and hours into the new Spirit Guide interview series (Riven, Elira, Soraya…). These stories take 12–18 hours each to birth, and while I love them deeply, my family and my body are asking me to slow down. So this minisode is...

Send us Fan Mail This episode took a turn I didn’t plan… again. And maybe that’s exactly the point.

I’ll take you into a story about helping a neighbor, the lessons from a summer...

Send us Fan Mail This was not the episode I planned... and maybe that’s the point. In this solo episode of Picture Love, Kris reflects on what happens when life, tech, and tomatoes all refuse to follow the script. A planned spirit guide interview was postponed (thanks, Mercury Retrograde), and in its place, a deeper message came through: Detours aren’t delays—they’re invitations. You'll hear...
