    How to Feel Empowered Instead of Hopeless

    We’re back for Season 6 of Hello Universe! 🎉 We kick off this season with a listener question so many are asking:   ”Every time I open the news, I feel like I'm hit with another wave of heartbreak. Part of me wants to stay awake and engaged, but another part of me just feels so tired. But then I turn away to preserve my sense of self and protect joy, and I feel guilty and maybe irresponsible. How do you hold hope in a moment that feels so dark? How do I find the balance in a moment like this?” Highlights The “not enough monster” that latches onto everything—including activism.Joy as resistance, and the radical practice of letting yourself feel good even when the world is on fire.“Tend to your part of the garden”—why committing to your thread matters more than chasing all of them.The difference between helplessness (grief that opens) and despair (grief that shuts down).Why living in possibility is vulnerable work—and how to practice it every day.Eva’s blunt question: “Are we evolving or regressing?” and the nuanced answers that follow.The paradox of progress: letting go of the myth of linear evolution while still choosing trust.Kyley on unworthiness as the invisible wall between us and love—and why believing we deserve better is collective sacred work.The radical agency of choosing happiness, and why blame is a seductive detour away from accountability.This episode is a balm for anyone who has felt the whiplash of living in a world of abundance and devastation at once. If you’ve ever wrestled with guilt for feeling joy, or wondered if your thread really matters, we made this one for you.

    Love and Limits with Melody Beattie

    Melody Beatty wrote a number of really important books, including most famously Codependent No More, and she actually passed away in February of 2025, which makes this really moving interview so much sweeter. I am happy for you to get a chance to experience some of her warmth and honesty and courage. Bestselling author Melody Beattie comes on the show to teach us about codependency, loving yourself more than others, setting limits, and generally being a badass. https://melodybeattie.com/ https://www.facebook.com/writermelodybeattie/   Twitter: @MelodyBeattie Insta: @authormelodybeattie Eva's instagram: @iamevaliao Book a discovery call with Eva Kyley's Instagram: @kyleycaldwell Kyley's free mini-course

    EVA IS IN LOVE

    In this deeply personal and vulnerable conversation, Eva is pulling back the curtain on her relationship with her partner, Tom, an incredibly special and unique human by all accounts.  He’s also the man she once had on a spiritual pedestal, who also happens to be 26 years older than her, a wildly private human. In other words… not your average “how we met” story. In this conversation with Kyley, Eva spill’s on all the odd and beautiful circumstances that come with their love — from navigating projections (“isn’t that the cliché of the teacher dating the student?”) to dismantling conditioning about what’s “right,” to learning how to actually let ourselves be loved without condition. It’s juicy, hilarious, and rooted in something much bigger than just romance: it’s about self-love, joy, and trusting life enough to let the good all the way in. The meet-cute that took seven years — from a Costa Rica retreat crush to living together in a surf shack in Brazil Love without conditions: how it feels to be in a partnership where both people are exploring whether there’s any limit to love or joy. Pedestals are prisons: how putting someone “above” you is unkind to them and to yourself, and what happens when you smash the hierarchy. Self-love as subtraction, not addition: letting go of self-condemnation, judgment, and the “I” story so Source can pour in. Being willing to be disliked — and why your joy might be the medicine that irritates someone right into their own healing. Living under the influence of good: the simple but terrifying practice of trusting life right now, in this moment.

    Loving people, When it's Hard

    This episode is an honest look at difficult relationships in all their paradoxical glory. It will touch anyone navigating complex family dynamics, caregiving, inner conflict, or the slow, radical return to self. Eva opens up about the intense push-pull dynamic with her mother—someone who is mentally ill, disabled, and fiercely challenging, yet also one of the people she loves most in the world. From the tropical beauty of Brazil to the ancestral weight of being back in Taiwan, Eva unpacks the spiritual and emotional reckoning of caretaking, resentment, cultural expectations, mortality, and what love actually asks of us. Kyley, ever the sorting hat of spiritual insight, helps organize the messy candy pile of emotion. Together, they navigate: - How resentment isn’t your enemy, but your flashlight - The difference between love with a story vs. love without one - What it means to love yourself and someone else without abandoning either - How sacrifice can either be sovereign or soul-squelching - The unbearable tension between caregiving and freedom - Why boundaries can sometimes become cold walls - The danger of spiritual bypassing through over-intellectualizing pain - The terrifying (and freeing) question: What if their life isn’t your responsibility? “My needs are generous”—the new mantra for every recovering codependent  By the end, Eva has a mic-drop moment of realization:  What if real love—capital L Love—is loving yourself without a story?
