    There's No One Way, Only YOUR Way

    This episode is a solo reflection on discernment, self-knowledge, and the idea that no single framework can define who you are. We explore how tools like human design, astrology, somatics, mythology, and tarot can support self-discovery only when they are used as mirrors back to your own truth. The core message is simple: follow the threads that support you, question what feels rigid, and keep returning to what is authentic for you. We go Deeper on: The idea that there is no one right path, only your way, and that discernment is what keeps a practice personal instead of performative.The spiritual journey as a return to self, using the phrase coming back to ourselves as a through line for the episode. How frameworks should inform self-understanding, not trap you in a box or make you copy someone else’s interpretation.Distinguishing between being inspired by a teacher and unconsciously making their method your identity.Curiosity as a practice, asking repeatedly: How does this relate to me? and How am I using this to be more me?Connecting historical inquiry, especially around religion and the disappearance of the divine feminine, to a deeper understanding of conditioning rather than a reaction of anger alone.How many teachings, modalities, and symbols ultimately serve the same purpose: helping us deepen our relationship with ourselves and with life.

    Are You Willing To Live The Questions?

    Krista shares a reflective solo episode about curiosity, uncertainty, and why sitting with unanswered questions can bring you closer to your own truth. Let's explore how rushing for answers often pulls us away from self-trust, and why giving a question space can lead to more honest, aligned clarity. This episode is about learning to live with mystery instead of forcing certainty. Krista also introduces a new Telegram community built around exploring questions together, sharing what arises, and deepening the practice in community. We go deeper on: The idea of "living the questions" instead of demanding immediate answers.How modern life conditions us to lose curiosity and jump quickly to opinions, decisions, and external validation.Connecting curiosity to deeper self-relationship, saying that being curious helps us know ourselves more fully.How bigger life questions, like meaning, identity, and direction, are often rushed because people feel behind if they do not know the answer right away.How forcing an answer usually pulls us away from truth, especially when the answer is manufactured to satisfy urgency.How sitting in uncertainty is part of the practice, not a failure.How we're in a wider cultural shift, where more people are questioning old structures and choosing their own path rather than simply following rules.Distinguishing between sitting with a question and ruminating on it, saying the practice is about openness, presence, and letting synchronicities show up.

    The Magic of Midlife

    In this episode, we explore the profound opportunity midlife presents for self-discovery, authenticity, and purposeful living. My conversation with Nic highlights that embracing your unique journey, trusting yourself, and cultivating curiosity are the keys to navigating this transformative phase with confidence. Nic Tierney is the founder of maison 1973, a digital magazine, publishing house and community exploring the life, style, stories and shifting desires of the Gen X woman. After nearly three decades working across design, brands and products, Nic created maison 1973 as a space for women who feel there is still so much to want, begin, build, question and become. Her work sits between storytelling, design, culture and conversation -with a deep belief that women in this chapter are far from done.
