465. Living Authentically with Emma Zeck
Emma Zeck has logged off. She skipped New York and a relationship that wasn’t serving her, and let conditional friendships fall away. Sometimes, she even ejects herself from the rabbit hole of Instagram to dance in the woods. When was the last time you immersed yourself in nature without capturing it on camera?Living authentically has proven to be true medicine for Emma, even if it’s a hard concoction to swallow at times. Getting canceled is no walk in the park. Breakups suck, and we all want someone to hold our hand sometimes. In this episode, K + L provide a safe space for Emma to speak uninterrupted and unfiltered about her self-discovery journey thus far, searching for validation in self-help books, partners, and people before realizing she already had all the answers within herself. We also talk about:
Isolation, community, and self-censorship
Evolving friendships, losing friends, and searching for validation
Public persona, self-abandonment, and lessons learned from being canceled
Intuitive movement, and trusting your intuition
Unconditional love, and loving without labels

463. Morning Rituals to Unleash Your Creativity with Morgan Harper Nichols
K + L get the tea on Morgan Harper Nichols morning routine, and what lays the groundwork for birthing all the beautiful gifts she brings to the world. She shares how she creates something every day, and why getting smaller with your artistic expression doesn't mean playing small. Now, thanks to her collaboration with Starbucks, your morning coffee can be an act of self-care. Before you roll your eyes at yet another "morning routine" chat, know that this convo steers clear from dogmatic formulas (who is really journaling for 30 minutes every day anyway)? Instead, think of it as an open-ended invitation for you to explore the small rituals that fuel your creativity and celebrate your life. So feel free to hit the snooze button, and indulge in donuts in bed. You can still sit with us. We also talk about:
K + L’s morning routines
Why coffee grounds Morgan for her day
The question she asks every morning to stay present
Creating art in any environment

460. Mel Robbins: Change Your Life with This Simple Habit
What do you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror? In 2020, Mel Robbins found herself spiraling with panic and fear in the thick of the pandemic. It was the same panic and anxiety she felt when her entire world fell apart in 2008, and she found herself knee-deep in $800,000 of debt. She saw herself in the mirror, raised her hand, and gave herself a high-five. She did it again the next day and the day after that. Her fear subsided, and The High 5 Habit was born. Mel Robbins is living proof that breakdowns lead to breakthroughs. Yet even with financial success, recognition, and all other societal markers of success, you can still feel jealous, hurt, triggered, and helpless. Throughout all of it, you deserve a pat on the back, or better yet, a high five in the mirror. In this episode, Mel shares the science behind the simple act of raising your hands, stressing the importance of celebrating the small wins and why one effortless, free, and slightly cringe-inducing action, can change the course of your day. We also talk about:
How she birthed The High 5 Habit and the science behind it
Conquering resistance and negative self talk
Feeling loveable and celebrating small triumphs
How to use jealousy as a signal for self discovery
Why being kind to yourself is everything
Her financial rock bottom that changed everything
Creating The Five Second Rule
Liberating ourselves from the stories we create

459. Peta Kelly: Walk Your Path
Peta Kelly is the poster girl for radical self-acceptance. She owns her s**t and does not play by the polarity rulebook. In a world that's split with black-and-white labels and categories, Peta stands out in glorious technicolor. Let's face it, that can be jarring for some people–especially in the cancel-culture vortex we live in. Rest easy, no one can cancel Peta because she is not giving up on herself. In this authentic AF episode, Krista and Peta talk about the paradigm shift going on right now in the world, how to break free from virtue signalling rhetoric, and choose the path of sovereignty–even when no one else is on your side. We also talk about:
Navigating disordered eating and living in your authentic body
Social media overstimulation and online drama
Virtue signaling and cancel culture
Showing up online and self-validation
Walking your own path

458. Embracing Abundance & Cultivating Conscious Relationships
Financial ruin, divorce, and the death of a child drove Danette May away from a life that wasn't her own. Once she began stepping into her true calling to serve Mother Earth and humanity, abundance flowed in all its forms. She's here today to show you how you can do it too. You don't have to empty your bank account to unlock abundance. Danette's juiciest spiritual takeaways come from connecting to herself (soul writing, gratitude lists), nature (eating one green thing from Mother Earth every day), and cultivating conscious relationships at work and home (weekly meditations, intimacy dates, and so much more)!Lastly, Danette opens up about her deep-rooted reverence for cacao, its powerful heart-opening ingredients, and the intention behind her food brand, Earth Echo Foods. She inspires everyone to live out, eat, pray, love beyond the pages of a book, and harness the passion and power that's burning inside us all. We also talk about:
Reaching rock bottom and growing into the woman she is today
The spiritual energetics behind building a successful business
Rewriting her money story
Life strategies that support purpose and relationships
Consistently showing up in partnership

457. Honoring Yourself As You Age
Our Virgo queen, Lindsey Simcik, turns 34 today and takes a solo moment to celebrate getting older (yep, you read that right) and reiterate the importance of loving yourself – and your laugh lines – as you add on years and wisdom to the school of life. Aging doesn’t have to be this ticking time bomb that’s out to get us. Instead, you can view it from a higher-self standpoint of reverence, reflection, and gratitude for the years gone by. This episode is an invitation to tune into your body’s intuitive downloads and set intentions for your next trip around the sun. Age is just a number, afterall. We also talk about:
Overcoming obsessive youth societal messaging
Less resistance, more flow
Loving and connecting to your body
Taking responsibility for yourself
