News Got Ya Down? Jun 04, 2018

Show notes

This week's podcast is an emotional one for both Bernice and Kali. They talk about the intense amount of sad and depressing news that we are bombarded with daily and how each of them deal with it. For some of us, news can be a tool for awareness and action, for others it can overwhelm and crush the soul. We all must explore our own ability to stay in the light as we read and absorb the sorrows of the world.

Being in Our Bodies May 26, 2018

Show notes

This week, Bernice and Kali talk about the challenge of being in our bodies. Have you noticed how children don't even seem to be aware of their bodies, but move freely without judgment or shame? When does that change? Is there a way to resist the demands of society and the media showing us constantly that we are more valuable when we meet the standard of attractiveness? We talk about our personal struggles with negative self-talk and explore the ways we can reframe this dialogue.

Unpacking Our Backpacks May 19, 2018

Show notes

This week, Kali and Bernice talk about the importance of acknowledging and honoring the darkness that we all carry within us (or in our "backpacks.") . As humans we all have aspects of masculinity and femininity, light and dark, yin and yang, and these contrasts are what make us whole. We look into how our culture is uncomfortable with holding space for the negative, but how Oula can provide a safe space to explore the complexities of the human experience, including bringing the shadows to light.

Why Oula Moves Us May 14, 2018

Show notes

"For something to change, it must first move." - Lara Heiman In today's podcast, Kali and Bernice talk about this incredibly true statement and how it not only works for OULA but how it can help us in the rest of our lives, too. When we invite movement, we can create curiosity, awareness and space for change. We also talk about why OULA itself is so hard to explain, but ultimately conclude that the mind and the body are never truly separate, and some of us come for the body stuff, some of us come for the mind stuff, and some of us come for the fun, but OULA will always meet you where you're at.

Control May 07, 2018

Show notes

Kali also has a big announcement- so take a listen and share your comments on Facebook or Instagram!

Self-Love Apr 30, 2018

Show notes

Why is self-love so hard? In this week's episode we explore how our experiences from birth and childhood help shape the way we feel about ourselves, the importance of mantras (especially the ones that make you queasy to say out loud), the value of doing the "work" in community and narcissism. We've got some sing-a-long time, an intervention, lots of laughs and even more questions, as always.

Intimacy Apr 23, 2018

Searching for our Porpoise, or Purpose Apr 16, 2018

Show notes

Does the question "what is your purpose?" stress you out or make you want to punch someone? If so then this podcast is for you! Kali and Bernice talk about the pressure one can feel to "find your purpose" and how its detrimental to tie the idea into our career. Do all types of purpose require a service to others or is it possible to have a self-serving higher purpose? Take a listen and join the conversation.
