542. Unlocking True Enlightenment (There Are Levels to This Shit) with Peter Crone
Peter Crone is a modern-day thought leader who’s unafraid to speak, and live, his truth. He joins Krista today for a deeply expansive and thought provoking episode where they untangle the complexities of the masculine/feminine dynamic, both in an ideal (Nirvana-state, as he describes it) and in the strained environment of our current reality.He’s the kind of person who elicits a feeling of hope for all of us, that what pains us or challenges us may, not only be washed away in an instant, but be repurposed as fuel for further evolution, for allowing us to unlock the next plane of consciousness and enlightenment. It all sounds so easy, and at times, so hard. But he reminds us of the deep beauty contained in the process itself.The elevation of this conversation sheds light on many perspectives that we overlook in our day-to-day lives, perspectives that determine our being and who we will, or can, become. Settle in for a deep one, family.We also talk about:
Presence is beauty
How words affect us reveals how we really feel
Identifying a victim mindset
Frequency precedes form
Criticism vs. encouragement
The mechanism of lying
The potential in masculinity
Being willing to think, and live, differently

540. How to Thrive as an Empath: Understand The Shadow Side and Your Gifts
Empaths of the world – you may have seen, or felt, this one coming.Krista’s been open and expressive about her ongoing journey of exploring the oceanic depths of her ability to sense, to feel, and to absorb the emotions and energies around her, so it’s only right that we sit down as a community to unpack what she’s learned.The truth is that empathy means deeply caring for everyone and everything, but the answer in maintaining, even thriving, amidst all of that input is to focus on self. Self-care and energetic cleansing are great for the empathic souls within all of us.We also talk about:
Energy matching
Tuning into vibrational frequency
Losing yourself to outside experiences
How we interact with overstimulating environments

537. Friendship Breakups: How to Deal + How to Heal
It’s a touchy topic that’s been in the zeitgeist for the last couple of years – either spurred by our general societal upheaval and the change it’s bringing about within people, something less, or something even more – friend break ups are sometimes a part of life. And they can be even more painful than breaking things off in a romantic relationship. There’s often more time invested and thus, more depth. More experience and trust.K+L drop in for today’s solo episode to discuss this very thing. When do you know it’s time to break up with a friend? What are the signs, both within yourself and between the two of you, that might be clues that something is off? And, most importantly, how do you talk about it with them? Or, do you at all?We can all agree at this point in our evolution that toxicity and rudeness are not the answers. So, how do we approach this change with grace? With compassion and understanding? Tune in to get real life advice from these two open hearts.We also talk about:
How do you know when it's time to break up with a friend?
Listening to your body’s clues
Having a conversation vs. letting it dissolve
What might cause a friendship breakup?
Feeling your emotions
Taking accountability
Recognizing subconscious patterns
Taking your time with the situation
