Ep.24 –Untwist Your Thought Traps Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

For our final trick, we had our wizard of an audio-editor, Nicole Spoolarich, on mic for a deep dive into all the ways are brain gets sneaky with us. Kendall kicks us off with this idea of perfectionism being the bully on the playground that keeps us from playing in the sand. Nicole and Angela have an on-mic real time breakdown about cognitive limiting beliefs having such a strong hold on the way we navigate the world. The subconscious thought really rules the roost and we discuss practical ways to untwist our thought traps.

If you’ve made it this far with us, through our rants and ramblings of season one and two, we are immensely grateful for the time you chose to spend with us. Thank you for joining in. Thank you for connecting and sharing your vulnerable stories. Thank you for sending us to your friends. Thank you for cheering us on and kudos to staying IN the work. Forever on the spiritual path in solidarity with all you woo woos.

Until next time. We love you.

Ep.23 –Sober Curious Aug 25, 2021

Show notes

This was a topic that got ya’ll realllllllly intrigued. The idea of— what if we just...stopped drinking? We opened up a question box about it on IG and were flooded with all kinds of q’s on what that might look like and advice for someone who might be considering a permanent or temporary pass from alcohol.

We knew our friend Bri of The Food Therapist would be the PERFECT woman to bring into the conversation. As a woman who decided that alcohol was no longer serving her, as well as also being a licensed professional in the nutrition/wellness space- we knew her education and personal experience would be a great guiding energy to all of our collective inquiries.

And listen, we’re not yuckin’ anyone’s gin and tonic over here. As both of us (Angela and Kendall) casual social drinkers, we also wanted to know how alcohol affects everything from anxiety to who you make friends with to what it does to our health. And gave us the opportunity to safely reflect on air about why we drink in the first place.

Bri shared her personal story of kicking her whiskey habit and what that might look like for anyone else curious about climbing on the wagon.

We hope you leave this episode being able to wade through this subject beside us leaving empowered and educated on something that isn’t really talked about much. Because knowledge about personal health is sexy, ya’ll.

We love you. Stay woo, kittens.

Ep.22 –3 Card Pull: Inner Guidance, The Unknown, & Dream Seeds Aug 18, 2021

Show notes

We brought back a classic style of episode from season 1, because we missed it and LOVE a spiritual guided prompt moment, A 3 Card Pull from the Soulful Woman intuitive card deck.

The soulful woman card deck could very well be considered our co-host at this point, always finds a way to wink-wink at us when we need it the most.

In this round, we discuss listening to your inner guidance system and the stamina it requires to stay in the receiving mode. How when you first manifest something for yourself, it can feel like a new crush has slid in the spiritual DMs and the butterflies are a plentiful. The ticket is after the newness wears off and it starts to feels like you’re free falling back into the unknown, how to stay in the arena for the greater good of your path.

Angela touches on her emotional motherhood/ fertility journey and Kendall talks about the coordination of moving back to the USA and feeling ungrounded for so long. We both give air to how the unknown can bring out jealousy and bitterness that can be reframed with reflection.

To lighten it up, we wrap with talking about DREAM SEEDS. I can’t even write that sentence without wanting to dance on the closest rooftop.

We hope you liked playing cards with us and gave you something to ruminate on in your magical ears. See you next Wednesday!

Ep.21 –Playing Big & Playing Small Aug 11, 2021

Show notes

In this episode we crack open that ever present toeing the line of “should I stand in my full potential and take up space?! Or should I please other people and be ‘relatable’?!” This see-saw of energetic polarities kept coming up in our personal conversations, until we decided that it deserved some air on mic.

Is standing in alignment to your big dreams in opposition to humility? Is taking up space going to damage the relationships around us? Are our friends only going to be there if we make them cozy and comfortable? Is being relatable a form of self sabotage?

Listen, if you’re listening to this episode, it’s because you’re in a gang of humans who are searching to better themselves. And it’s sometimes (a lot of times) a tricky road to our best selves.

We hope that you leave this episode standing more confidently in the power of who you were meant to be, and how to bring others on the journey with you.

We love you woo woos! As always, let us know if anything in here makes your heart beat faster! We’re here to celebrate you.

Ep.20 –Style is Spiritual Aug 04, 2021

Show notes

Happy Fire Season babies! Today we wanted to take a little swim into all things fashion: who influenced us growing up, what it means to dress ourselves, and how it can spiritually heal to dress in garb that makes us feel alive.

Angela talks about being color draped by a color expert and it catapulted her style to the next dimension learning more about color theory.

We both believe it’s deeper than emulating an outfit on Pinterest (although who doesn’t love a muse?) and more about finding what makes you feel like the next evolution of yourself and communicating to the world what you want to say.

We hope this gives you a little extra sauce to throw on your spicy outfit in the back of your closet just for grins before your nightly shower. We love you. See you next week!

If you’re local to DFW and wanted to get color matched, Angela went to Merideth in Plano and would highly recommend! Let her know I sent you:

Ep.19 –Reiki Healing Jul 28, 2021

Show notes

Kendall and angela explore the world of reiki, the history of energetic healing, and their personal experience seeing an energetic healer in dallas.

Angela felt more realigned with her career aspirations and saw some doors open up that following week! Kendall was feeling really unsettled with international travel with a 10 month old, and felt comforted and cleansed of baggage she was carrying with her to every stop. Also discussed, is the continuous and brave practice of standing in what you believe in, even if it’s different than the way you were raised.

We hope you leave this episode feeling informed and itching to balance your chakras. We love you, see you next Wednesday!

Ep.18 –Vibrational Medicine Jul 21, 2021

Show notes

This episode we go into the power of Bach remedies- a healing modality with the belief that nature carries vibrational qualities, that when consumed, affects the actual spirit of the human body. And here’s the deal— we go into the research (we have skeptical husbands by nature and we made DANG SURE we had enough cold hard truth to back this up) as well as the woo and our personal stories.

We had the idea of this episode after both experiencing hugeee emotional movements in our lives through taking Alexis Smart remedies, and Angela was intuitively led to bring another person into the conversation. Karen Chambers enters the chat A nutritional therapist and naturopath, she helps guide the conversation of how this is both backed by science and personal experience- while also helping us all understand how powerful homeopathic options are to our spiritual health as a whole.

We keep finding the juice, ya’ll. And we’re serving it up. So we hope that you find this as curious and exciting as we did.

If you’d like to dip into the Bach remedy world, we suggest Alexis Smart. In this episode, we talk about how we both took “unblocked”. And Kendall also took “in love”.

If you’d like to bask in Karen’s energy more, here are the deets! Karen Chambers Nutritional Therapist/Naturopath Gut health, hormone and healthy lifestyle coaching, talks and education. Dip CNM | mANP

Ep.16 –Ancestral Trauma Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Kendall and Angela have April Ray, an intuitive with an array of spiritual gifts to talk about past lives and calling in your ancestors to feel protected.

We get into that DNA has MEMORY. Let’s take a minute to soak that in. The pain and joy of our biological mothers is passed on to us in utero and shape our lives into who we become. LIKE WHAT?

Kendall and I are passionate about the honor it is to uplift the bloodline. To hold space for ancestral trauma but to also stand firm in our own individual experience knowing we are guided always by those that come before us.

We hope you feel like you can call your spirit guides at any time, and know even in the lonely parts of your day or a season of your life you feel darkness being too heavy to carry, you’ve got a crew of love always looking out for you.

Stay woo woo because it just keeps getting better and better. We love you.

Ep.15 –Friendship Conflict Jun 30, 2021

Show notes

After recording episode 1, we took a much needed break for several personal reasons and a lot of friendship pain came up between Kendall and Angela.

So as we kicked up the next season, we decided— ISN’T THIS WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR?! To talk about the things we’re all secretly curious about and... frankly.. want someone else to blow air into. So we decided to pull back the curtain and TALK ABOUT IT. We promise this isn’t a dirty or catty fight- it was the safest conflict we had ever been in.

We felt it valuable to clue you guys in on what was going on behind-the-scenes. Fostering adult female friendships takes effort and honesty, and although we have been friends for 15 years, we finally were comfortable enough to share ways we unintentionally hurt each other.

The most interesting thing is even in real-time, bringing so much to the surface didn’t feel heavy or weird. It felt right.

When speaking to a friend about recording this she replied “oohhhhh— NO one talks about this.. but everyone has it.” In this episode we dispel the idea that conflict has to be unhealthy or scary. We hope you takeaway some encouragement to bring up to your friends, with love, when you have been hurt. It made us closer and we each have clarity and awareness that rippled into our other relationships.

We love you through the thick and the thin, see you next Wednesday!
