The Shoreline with Kim Kogane

In this final episode of 2025, I'm taking a moment to pause, reflect, and gently close out a year that asked so much of me. I talk about how this season has been shaped by grief, change, and the slow shedding of an old identity, and how I am beginning to look toward the future with more clarity and softness.  I share a collection of five short personal essays written during 2024, each capturing a...

In this episode, I'm checking in and sharing honestly about a season that has been feeling heavy. I talk about what it has been like to move through grief that does not always have a clear trigger, and how sensitivity can feel both like a gift and a challenge. As the days grow darker and quieter, I reflect on the tension between wanting to feel less and realizing that feeling deeply is part of wha...

In this episode, I'm sharing something that feels especially tender. I talk about how this season of transition and grief helped clarify what I truly feel called to do next. After years of exploring different paths following the closure of my jewelry business, I found myself returning to a deeper desire to share my voice and tell stories.  I open up about my journey into writing fiction and what i...

In this episode, I'm exploring what it means to bring more magic and meaning into everyday life. I talk about the familiar phrase everything happens for a reason and how my relationship with that idea has shifted over the years. Rather than looking for the perfect belief system, I am learning that meaning often comes from our natural desire to understand our lives and to connect with something gre...

In this episode, I'm sharing the story of how tarot became a meaningful part of my life and why I've recently felt myself reconnecting with it in a deeper way. I talk about my first experience with the cards in 2017 and how seen I felt when a simple spread reflected back everything I had been carrying. It became the beginning of a practice that helped me slow down, listen inward, and trust what I...

I'm so grateful to share this space with you and to talk about how this new chapter began. In this episode, I'm reflecting on the unexpected turns that shaped the start of my year. A simple day trip reminded me how much I loved my life, and only a week later, I received a letter telling me I had to leave the home that had become my sanctuary. I talk about what it felt like to be pushed into an in-...

I'm sharing some updates on my dreamy early morning routine, and then I dive into what happened when I went on my first solo overnight backpacking trip. Well, I wasn't completely alone because I brought Cauchy with me but I didn't see another human out on the trail.

I recorded this episode while Mercury was in retrograde and am using this opportunity to reflect on what's been working for me in my life and what I can release. I spend some time talking about big life changes, how we're meant to grow and shift throughout our lives. Life is short and you're meant to experience all of it: the highs, the lows, all the goodness, and all the discomfort. If you're in...

I'm podcasting from a very special location today! You'll have to listen to find out exactly where I am. I share what I'm doing, how it flowed for me to travel, and my thoughts on the mind's judgment. My favorite line from this episode is when I say "the universe doesn't care whether you eat a cheeseburger or salad." Which is so true! There are no right or wrong choices, simply infinite possibilit...

In this episode, I share what's been on my mind lately which is the feeling of being alone. It's something that I've carried with me since I was young. I talk about fate versus free will and explore the idea that maybe what we're feeling is intentional and points us towards something we need to call in. There are a lot of things outside of our control in the world, but we get to choose our thought...

She used to work in the corporate world but didn't find satisfaction in her 9 to 5 life, and eventually she drew on her past experiences to launch her own business, marrying intuition and spirit...

On this episode of The Floating Experiment, I interview Maria, a creativity guide and artist. She is the founder of The Philosopher's Stem, where she draws out the latent creativity and sense of playfulness that we've stamped down inside our adult selves.
