Ep. 59 - Healing Your Worthiness Wound + Claiming Your Confidence with Thais Sky Jul 05, 2017

Show notes

This conversation with Thais Sky left Krista and Lindsey with their jaws on the floor. TRUTH TALK AT ITS REALEST. The girls welcome this "esteemed women's leadership expert, international speaker and mindfulness teacher whose empathetic approach to worthiness, confidence and emotions have taken her through the healing of her own childhood trauma into a healing career, as well as into the study of cognitive psychology, neurology, spirituality, sociology and spiritual psychology". THAIS IS NEXT LEVEL WOKE. Her emotional connection to helping women reclaim not only their feminine power, but their human worthiness is palpable when she speaks. Thais is a force to be felt and a voice to be heard. Washingtonian Magazine named her as one of the top “8 bloggers to know.” The Huffington Post calls her “an inspirational woman” and she was nominated for Forbes Magazine 30 under 30 award. .....AND THIS IS JUST BEGINNING. This conversation is the definition of FLOW, truly a dreamy inspirational conversation for the girls. They discuss:

why being kind to yourself is the path to self-empowerment
how the woman's voice is going to shift the state of this world
why noticing the lens we where will wake you up and stir your power to change the world
why forcing ourselves to be positive is counterproductive
practical ways to up-level your life and align with your purpose
how giving yourself permission to feel the low will move you to a place of high vibration
how to knock down self-constructed barriers, like guilt, and shift into a state of inner peace and confidence
how Thais' healing journey is the foundation for her success as a coach

+ so much more. You can connect with Thais at www.iamthaissky.com and @iamthaissky on social media.

Ep. 54 - Feng Shui-ing Your Life for Good Vibes, with Dana Claudat Jun 13, 2017

Show notes

Ever heard of the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui?! It's not some crazy interior design technique people have used for centuries. It's a way of cleaning your space AND your life!

To dive further into what this technique and practice is all about, Krista and Linds sat down this week with Feng Shui expert and personal curator, DANA CLAUDAT. Dana studied Art History at Stanford University and then moved on to become a Pyramid School Feng Shui consultant. Krista and Linds literally asked her, "DANA TEACH US YOUR WAYS." Because it's about time we all learned about how bomb feng shui is ...

Feng Shui means "wind" and "water", so it's all about BALANCE. And in ancient times, it was all about survival and structure of your home in relation to the wind, weather, geography, and water.
Dana's job is "expansive design", design to help you expand your life, through art and feng shui.
She also breaks down the stereotypes of feng shui, everything from how strict it is and what are the rules.
Ways to make any space feel better! Big ... small ... doesn't matter, Dana's got you.
How do homeowners "fung-shei" a previously owned home? Mysterious stuff? Weird neighbors? That's stuff you gotta find out ...
What to do to "fung-shei" YOUR DESK at work! THIS is a big one.
Getting good vibes in your house for under $10

entrepreneurs are who they are because they're "stupid enough to do it" and go through with their "crazy" ideas

her mistakes over the years as a coach & how they're VITAL to your development

Ep. 51 - Forgiving Our 20s Us + The Art of Forgiving In Your 30s May 23, 2017

Show notes

COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM PALM SPRINGS!

Krista & Linds are soaking up the rays and hanging by the pool in sunny Southern California. This week, they bring back a #almost30nation fan favorite, 20s + 30s US!

*Que expensive "20s US VS 30s US" theme song*

They're talking MAJOR throwbacks like matching your eyeshadow and makeup with your outfits, Lisa Frank, Lindsey's old obsession with all of the #crimping techniques and experiments, and how opposite their beauty routines are today.

HOWEVER, the main topic Krista & Linds are discussing this week is FORGIVENESS. Everything forgiveness, the who, what, when, where, why, and how. They get DEEP during this conversation, especially with:

cheating and romantic relationships
friends and reciprocation
if people can/will change
the power and struggle of letting go
usually when you're wrong in the situation, you hold on to it more than anyone
family, family, family
not understanding other's beliefs or values, ie. religion/spirituality
people don't want to hear about those people you can't forgive
not forgiving others can ruin your other relationships
And most importantly, YOURSELF

Ep. 50 - Curve Model + CEO of Model Meals Danika Brysha On Her Battle With Food, and How It Transformed Her Life May 16, 2017

Show notes

Once again, Linds and Krista bring on the best of the health, wellness, and body positivity industries. This week's guest is DANIKA BRYSHA, a curve model with IMG Models, the CEO of Model Meals, a leader in the health and wellness world, and an inspirational rockstar for everyone. Danika has been featured in InStyle, Shape, PopSugar, People, and many more publications. Her story has inspired thousands of women who are struggling with loving their body, their relationship with food and addiction, and transforming their lives.

Danika shares her story, which starts at a young age, battling drug usage, fad chronic dieting, and being "the chubby girl", using her food to process her emotions. But that didn't stop her from being one of the busiest, most successful curve models in the world, after being discovered in a Bank of America. Needless to say, she took her insecurities and built a life for herself off of them.

Some of the most useful food/body tips you'll ever hear from this episode are:

drop the FOOD RULES
the answer to losing weight is "NOT trying to lose weight"
it's never about the food, it's about YOU (your childhood, you mentality about yourself growing up, specific circumstances you were under)
don't waste your energy on worrying about food, worry about YOUR DREAMS
it's about how you FEEL after you eat food
how much the MEDIA REALLY INFLUENCES the way you think about yourself
