Kim Talks features a 3 part series to close out her podcast channel. Episode 099: Relationship Talks, part 2 of the 3 part series, Kim brings back one of her closet and longest friends Catherine Meyer. Cath and Kim had previously recorded the most listened to the episode on Kim Talks, "Divorce Love" and it was time for them to come back together to see what a year later we are up to, feeling and thinking about our relationships. Finding out what we (1) want from a relationship (2) don't want from a relationship and (3) our faults in relationships can be a hard, yet, fulfilling journey to go down. This was a fun one to record, heavy at times, and overall a much-needed conversation about relationships. Talk soon, Kim
Kim Talks features a 3 part series to close out her podcast channel. Episode 100: Goodbye Kim Talks (Self Talks), part 3 of the 3 part series, we say goodbye to a 4-year journey on Kim's favorite platform, a voice platform, podcast. Kim started this journey to help her find her voice and it took her down a much more in-depth journey that she imagined. There were 3 evolutions during this 4-year span of recording. We talk about the evolution, the lessons, and the ultimate love she could give herself to close out this chapter in her life. A personal note from Kim: Before you head in, thank you. Simply put. I hope this episode or the ones before it showed you how much it meant for you to show up on this podcast. The talks itself and you, the listener have given me life in the best of times and the hardest of times. I look forward to seeing you soon and in this next chapter of my life. Much love, Kim
After a 'conscious uncoupling' from the podcast for a quarter of the year, Kim is back to talk about her intentions for Kim Talks. Jada, Kim's chocolate lab and Boo Boo, her tabby cat make an appearance on this episode. Spoiler alert: it isn't them making noises. They have some insight to share with y'all.
It's been a long time. I had every intention of coming back. I needed some time to take my "next right move". I appreciate your patience with me leaving and not sharing why (until now).
In this episode, I share where I have been, where I am now, and where we are going. Let's talk, Kim
Kim talks to her great friend Chelsea Rae about a question we both find ourselves asking and now we want to be answered. "What's the matter with me?". Short answer, nothing. Long answer, head in the episode where we break down this thought process and why it is so common in many of us to feel this way. You can find Chelsea over on IG at: chelsea_cornelius_
Kim talks to Steve Hollander, Realtor/Owner at House & Land Estate about the stress of buying and how to make it a smoother experience.

Kim talks about her recent full year around the sun of loss 'celebrations'. For Kim, she talks about the anniversaries she honored for her mom and her ex-husband.

This episode, Kim talks about her approach to honoring it and noticing the stuck feeling of how to continue to heal.
Kim talks with her friend, Jaime Karpovich to talk about why we play small, how it has come up in our lives and what starting over for both of us has looked like. Jamie is known for her TV show, Save the Kales, since then she has made a great impact on LGBTQ community and women empowerment.

Kim talks about the common phrase 'misery loves company' and how that is not a great combo with a big life transition. Relatability Loves Company could be a very positive healing experience to attract in your life.

I wanted to get inside a comedian's mind. Ever since Robin Williams passing, I have been very intrigued as to why comedians are considered a depressing profession. How could that be? They are bringing people to the highest emotional scale, Joy. Yet, they are at the lowest emotional scale most days, grief/despair/depression. This is very conflicting and I wanted to talk about it more. I had the opportunity to talk to local Lehigh Valley comedian, Tyler Rothrock on this and I am very grateful for what he shared with us.
To see more from Tyler ... head over to Tyler Rothrock on all social media channels and check out his upcoming show at Steelstacks in Bethlehem, November 2, 2019.
An open talk about a few things I have been noticing about myself and taking action on to work on. I have gotten a lot of advice in this season of my life. One of them is, "take this time to better yourself". Noted. Doing it and sharing it in this episode. I can't wait to sit down and talk with you about this episode.
Michael Blewett and I sat down to talk about Divorce and so much more came up. The talk behind our 'templates' was a massive takeaway for me on how we are programed very early on to what that is. Are we willing to challenge that template if it is no longer serving our highest good? Will will talk about that. Shame, Guilt, Resentment, Sadness are just a few words that come with the territory of making the decision to get divorced (or go through a break up). I wanted to have this conversation to continue to bring light to a conversation that can be met with love, kindness, and healing ... if we choose to.
With the seasons changing, I want to talk about this new season in my life and how I am (we all are) a work in progress. Let's talk about it.

Hard conversation can come in many facets. This one was hard because they never had it before. We let ourselves believe we can not show up a certain way, but when we break it down it boils down that we haven't had that conversation (1) yet (2) enough times (3) more and more times. Practice makes 'perfect' and we will talk about that on today's Dear Kim. I also touch on hard conversations where there is a competing belief, values, etc. You will be better prepared this time around. See you there! XO Kim
I am checking in with you and seeing where you are at with your Mind, Body and Soul journey.

Have you ever asked yourself, "Am I in the RIGHT RACE?". On today's episode, my good friend and Spartan teammate, Bryant Edwards and I talk about being in the RIGHT RACE in life. This is not about doing a Spartan race. It is all about checking in with ourselves on what race we are running and the challenges that happen along the way. This is a new 'take' on Kim TALKS.

Dear Kim is a weekly segment on my podcast, Kim TALKS where you ask a question and I share my humble advice. All the questions are anonymous. Dear Kim is designed for you to have a safe space to share and for us to converse about questions that not only you & I need advice from … I know many others do to.
Dear Kim Episode 001 I answer a question that I quite honestly can't believe I am able to answer after all the grief I have experienced. I know to see that experience of sitting in this kind of pain as led to be able to share it with others. With any piece of advice ... take one thing, all of it, or none it. I ask you to be open-minded to be able to heal the best way possible.

Anthony Pedersen and I talk about the surface level to the depth of how we feel about social media and what it is doing for us or not ... listen in. We have a lot to say and I believe you will enjoy our opposing sides on it.
I needed therapy. I don't shy away from sharing that. I also don't believe I should be ashamed of it. I do know a lot of people don't agree with it. That is cool too.
I have a core belief that we need a third party to help us in this journey of life. It doesn't need to be therapy. It could be a mentor, energy worker, someone with an unbias and educated approach on the topic/healing at hand.
In today's episode, you will hear different ways to go about it and the effects it has on you or can if you have not gone down this route. I hope this finds you in a place of love, healing, and relief. OX Kim
Today's talk with my dear friend, Ellis Funchess ... we will give it to you Straight Up No Chaser. Ellis and I have a candid conversation about sexuality and our identities. This is a topic him and I have never openly spoken about. It is our time to come out and share what we have to say and see where it goes. We know we are not the first to talk about this or the last but we wanted to be someone to talk about it. MUCH LOVE TO YOU ELLIS! You make me braver. I adore you and I can not wait for the world to hear and see more of you! OX Kim #kimtalks
oh my! This one gives me the chills!!! LOVE TALKS has served me and so many over the last year it has been around. It is time for an evolution! I introduce you ... Kim TALKS!!!
Kim TALKS: where we can talk about love and loss, happiness and sadness, go-getter and being lazy, beauty and beast, laughter and crying, enough and not enough. All of the above is what I believe life is. I also believe you can have all of them co-exists and live a great life. I got too good at making life black and white. I’m all in on happiness or sadness. No in-between. I’m now learning it can be black and living in color.
Social media when it comes to youth, adults, and businesses is a crucial topic to touch on in our day and age. I go in depth on how I believe we can look at this from tactics and principle way to see how we can boost our self-esteem (bring more awareness) when it comes to social media and our day-to-day.
You've heard the saying a million times over. But have you really tried it out? You know ... is the grass REALLY greener on the side? I don't believe we take a minute or a few to realize it when we make this decision or even on the flip side ever make this decision because we are afraid to see if the grass or brown on the other side. The saying, "The grass is always greener where YOU water it" stuck out for me and it is why I wanted to talk about it and see where you are at. I love how its worded because there is a lot of judgment indirectly or directly of how we make our decisions every day. Let alone if we decide to make BIG, LIFE CHANGING ones. Let's tap into what we can take control of and decide for our best and highest self! I'll see you there! ~ Kim
What are men thinking when it comes to the timeline of our life? This episode is all around what my friend, Anthony Pedersen has experienced being on the end of what societal norms shows us what our lives 'should' have panned out to be. If you ever felt like your life was not going the way it 'should' be going, tune in today and hear what Anthony and I have to say about what the stigma is on how our American Dream 'should' be.
boy meets girl, the boy asks the girl to marry him, the girl says yes, and they live happily ever after.
When you realize that the person by your side is not the one, what do you do?
Maybe you try and stay? Maybe you walk away?
Which door would you open?
Catherine Meyer is one of my oldest and dearest friends. Now, we added another notch to our relationship belt as we both have something in common. We both have gone through a divorce and she has become what I like to call her my “Divorce Dalai Lama”. Some humor to a heavy journey.
We talk about her divorce and the journey I have been going through to shed light on a sensitive subject that most people won’t touch and we’re here to talk about it to make more people not feel alone in the decision and if you choose to go down the path of Divorce.
Cheryl Strayed said this and it is so powerful to the journey of heartbreak, break-up, divorce, whatever you are going through...
“Go, even though you love him. Go, even though he’s kind and faithful and dear to you. Go, even though he’s your best friend and you’re his. Go, even though you can’t imagine your life without him. Go, even though he adores you and your leaving will devastate him. Go, even though your friends will be disappointed or surprised or pissed off or all three. Go, even though you once said you would stay. Go, even though you’re afraid of being alone. Go, even though you’re sure no one will ever love you as well as he does. Go, even though there is nowhere to go. Go, even though you don’t know exactly why you can’t stay. Go, because you want to. Because wanting to leave is enough.”
How we think as women can be the best and worst thing for us. I get it as a woman, but I also find it fascinating to break it down. This helps us as women feel seen, heard, understood and today let's challenge it! Hey Men! This is for you too. It will help you get into our thinking and also see it (really) isn't always your fault :) From dieting* to dating to doing we are constantly thinking of what is right, wrong, and the actual direction. Today's episode breaks that down. Let's get into it! *I reference in the dieting portion an article. Click here to access it!
Dating in 2019 can be tricky. From swiping left/right on an app for your match TO figuring out what you enjoy and don't can make it all so tricky and downright not fun. In this episode, my good friend, Joel Carmona teaches a thing or two on what it's like out there. SPOILER ALERT -- Dating can be FUN!!! Joel's background has him around people ALL.THE.TIME. A personal trainer by day and bartender by night. He has seen a lot go down in front of his eyes when it comes to dating.
Joel and I had some fun on today's episode. You will hear us talk about 3 areas of dating that we found important to touch on. (1) Dating while you are single (2) Dating within your relationship and the most important of them all ... (3) Dating yourself I hope you enjoy this episode just as much as I did!
Becky Jennings is one of those women that you will feel strength and love from. January of 2019 her whole world turned upside down when she lost her son at 38.5 weeks pregnant. She shares her journey and how she went from deep sorrow led to deep meaning. Grief is hard to navigate, so is life in general. That is why these conversations are so meaningful to me to have to help us all have a piece of each other's journey to help us keep going.
Our story and the story we tell ourselves to be true ... matters. I was told the story in more or less words, “you’re the pretty, athletic girl”. Then I told myself the story in more or less words, “you’re only that and will never be smart enough to amount to anything more”. How a few words that can be (and is) a compliment turned into a story of words that I gave way too much power to in my youth to adulthood. Step into today’s podcast on LOVE TALKS, on why I believe, very much believe, words matter. We have a way of taking people’s words in, allowing our own self-talk to guide us and ultimately giving it power. This works in a positive and negative effect. That's why I wanted to break it down on: 1- how you can be uber aware of this 2 - take these words into your own hands We can’t control what others say to us and about us. But, we can take control of how we take it in and exude it out into the world. Ironically, this episode made me very insecure that my words weren’t flowing. The story of not being smart enough popped up. You’ll hear it in my voice and I own it at times during the episode. We have these words said to us or said by us and we give it power (positive or negative). I’m sharing how I handle it when, not if, when it comes back up and how I use it to my benefit me vs. against myself. #wordsmatter #lovetalks
I started this 3 part series out of intuition. I knew over the last 365 days a lot has shifted and I wanted it to come out of me what has shifted physically and emotionally. More has shifted (and will continue to) over the last few weeks I have recorded this 3 part series. We're all learning something daily. Take this episode and the other 3 as an opportunity to check in on what you have learned recently, what milestone you have reached, and where you want to go. It's easy for us to forget all we have accomplished. It's easy for us to put ourselves down in the setbacks in life. This piece by piece hard work is where we start to mold carefully what we believe is the best for our individual life. No blueprint to this but there is pockets of light that can bring a calmness to you. See you in there. Thank you for the time, patience and kindness over the last 365 days (and more).
It seems like everyone has it figured out but you, right? Please know deep deep deep down that is so wrong. But I see that when you're in the thick of its very hard to see that pocket of light. Here is that piece of light from a 3 part series of "What I am learning" from what was the darkest, roughest, and most gut-wrenching year of my life. I wish I was being "dramatic" or just saying those words. That would mean I didn't really feel them and experience that but I am intentional with those words but it is my truth. Now, I don't wish this upon anyone but I am proud to be standing and sharing with you today and every day you allow me after that. Much love today and tomorrow. I will see you guys in there for this 3 part series.
When the teacher becomes the student, it is a powerful experience. I am uncovering what lessons I have been learning. A little different dialogue than my normal but this is where I am currently and what to share with you.
Healing is a very tricky subject and I want to simply talk to you about it. Let's jump in there and see what this process looks like for your. I take you through a few steps that has served me greatly during a healing season of my life. 1. Check your ego at the door. 2. Judge on paper 3. Time and patience 4. Love yourself fiercely (and what does that look like for you)
All of this holds power to you. It is a scary but yet invigorating thought. Jump in to start, continue, or fine tune your healing journey. Much love, Kim
We all have our way of doing things. Let's check in if we are doing that for our own path.

Self love can be a tricky thing to achieve but when you break it down, it could be simple and done by most. A friend shared this message with you and then saw a quote that described it perfectly how self-love can be viewed and accomplished.
Question: How do you actually practice self love?
Answer: By exploring your self hate.
Let's get going on exploring it. #LOVETALKS
Strong women still need their hands held. You are that strong woman (or man). You are. I know it doesn't feel or even look like it right now. Please be ok with that know that we are here to talk about it.

Ever wonder how to take care of yourself? The buzz word, "self-care" has gotten a good rap and some bad rap. I am here to RANT about an article that has been going viral on Facebook. Check out what I had to say and how you can find SELF-CARE that serves YOU! "Self-care is so underrated because being busy is so trendy". Monika Okron
Check out the article here, that I am referencing in the podcast. This is what self-care really means because its not all salt baths and chocolate cake
I feel we de-sensitive ourselves by the stories that we hear people persevere. Overcoming challenges and adversity is not just for the strong and perfect people we see on the outside. It is FOR YOU if you feel in your heart, gut, and soul that you are meant to make it happen. Listen to Angela tell you her story and how perseverance has served her greatly to live out her BEST (not perfect) life! Check her out at:

Just like most pants aren't "one size fits all". Either are human beings. I learned a very valuable lesson over the years and was able to reflect on it while watching the 2018 Grammy's. More than ever we need this for our own peace and the people around us.

There are a lot of choices in life.
There are over 30 some odd flavors at the local ice cream shop. Whatever happened to just chocolate, vanilla, or dare you do chocolate AND vanilla combo??
That was me ;) I was all about the combo mix.
Now that we are in 2018, we can either get overwhelmed with information overload OR choose to listen/tune in to what our heart leads us too.
I take you down the list of the podcasts in my personal podcast app (for apple users - Podcast ADDICT for Andriord users) to ALL my podcasts I listen to.
Each of these podcast have imprinted on myself, others, and my business in some shape or form.

"Just get over it already." Nails to a chalkboard if you're anything like me. Over the years, and through the research and my own experiences...letting going is not "that easy". Sure, we can say we got "over it", but if we are being completely honest with ourselves, are we really "over it"? In this episode, I share with you 3 Steps that have changed the game for me to let go. I have found so much inner peace and a way better self-talk routine all because of these steps.
STEP 1 - Validate STEP 2 - PERSPECTIVE STEP 3 - RELEASE See what these 3 steps will do for you today. Share with a friend if you found the value of it. I have a feeling that this one is going down for one to talk over with a glass of wine or a cup of coffee with friends. We need more conversations like this. Keep it going! xo Kim

Ever wonder why you seem to procrastinate so much? More often than not it is your subconscious pushing undesirable tasks out of your mind. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, you have the conscious ability to choose what you spend your time doing and how to get things done. It is up to you to choose to spend your time doing things (undesirable or not) that will make moves in a forward and positive direction towards your goals.
Listen to this week's episode of Balance Over Perfect to learn more about procrastination and how to grow out of it!
Ever feel like things are just not going your way and you look up to the man above or the sky and you’re just like COME ON????
Ever feel like this with your…weight loss program? job? relationship?
Today, we’re going to touch upon these kinds of topics and 3 reasons why they're just not working out. Listen to this episode of BALANCE Over PERFECT to hear more.
Believe it or not, we cannot find motivation from others. Every time we are asking others to motivate us, we are actually setting ourselves back!
True motivation that will last and sustain us comes from OURSELVES. We have to generate it ourselves or else we are unable to keep it ongoing in future instances.
And our truest motivation comes from our inner child; the genuine self that we were when we were about 8 years old. Remember that kid? They likely didn't need anyone else to motivate them! It came natural because everything at that age was natural and genuine.

Boosting your energy is so much more than just caffeine and it can be created from nothing when you take into consideration the tips above. Stop playing the victim. You are enough and deserve all the energy in the world!
Increased water intake, getting an ample (as in 7-9 hours!) amount of sleep, getting a workout in at least 5 days a week, and nourishing your body with nutritiously dense foods is key when it comes to creating a positive mindset and energy that lasts and thrives.
In my newest podcast episode on Balance Over Perfect, “Four Tips to Boost Your Energy Today.”, I talk more about all these tips and go into more details for you!
Grace is an area that we constantly reminded to dwell in but we aren’t living there often enough. It is why I share a note of grace with you at the end of every email; to remind you to take that time and to give yourself the break of grace.
Living with more grace in your day means honoring the balance between peace and the highs and lows that we all go through. Allowing yourself to honor that balance is what will lead you into a more graceful mindset.
So do you think you're living your life with enough grace? Tune into this most recent episode of Balance Over Perfect to learn more.

Do you notice that some days you feel lazy and others you feel motivated and excited to do things?!
When those lazy days happen, sometimes they lead us to feel like we aren't "enough." But when these days happen, we need to remember to give ourselves grace. There are days when we deserve to relax and BE lazy. But it is learning how to channel this laziness that is most important.
Are we choosing to be lazy in the appropriate times or are we choosing to be lazy when we should be working, being present with our spouse, and playing with our kids? Laziness is earned and we deserve it.
Listen to my most recent podcast to learn my top 5 tips for learning how to earn your laziness and how to give yourself grace in the process.
When we think about the holidays, the LAST thing we think about is balance. With stress, expectations, travel, and family, balance and peace is farfetched for a lot of us.

In this episode of Balance Over Perfect, you will learn "the 3 THE'S" as well as more about what balance actually is and how you can find it, even in the more stressful times. Give yourself grace during the times where you feel unbalanced and learn how you can find more balance in the crazy times.
