This 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.

LET'S PLAY: THE CREATE PODCAST

Ep. 197 We Get To Decide

We'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. 196 In the "Fix-ness"

This 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. 195 Where the Power is

This 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. 194 Holding "For" or "Against"

Hahaha! 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. 193 The Sermon You Didn't Ask For!

This 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. 192 Life is Here to Be Lived

This 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. 191 When the Fear Is Here

Have 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 never get around to telling the story about Kristin's pink hair... More for next week!

Ep. 190 DIVINE DISCONTENT

It is 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. 189 What Are You Listening To?

Where 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. LINKS: WEBSITE: www.kerririchardson.com

Ep. 188 From Clutter to Clarity with Kerri Richardson

We had the great honor of seeing Tricia's stunning pressed flower art at her latest exhibit in New York City. And equally stunning is her incredible story of being an artist and the power of creation. Hear how the phrase "Nothing good can be lost" led her during the pandemic to one of the most fruitful times in her career. This podcast conversation is sure to inspire you -- it sure inspired us!!  Find Tricia's work:https://www.modernpressedflower.com/ Instagram: @modernpressedflower

Ep. 187 Flower Power with Tricia Paoluccio

This 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. 186 The Choiceless Choice of Presence

Since 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 mind.

Ep. 185 Episodes We Love: The Foreign Nature of Joy

Whether you're an artist every day of your life or hoping to awaken the artist within, our workshops empower you to tap your inner wisdom and dance with your playful self! We become authentic and unlimited creators when we get in touch with the Universe, listen for guidance, trust the process, act from true inspiration, and actually have fun. Incorporating ancient wisdom with a splash of sass and sparkle, Kristin and Natalie can't wait to party down deep with you!!
