    Episode 27: Naughty Questions & Honest Truths, with 3 Girlfriends

    What happens when me and my girlfriends get honest… with questions from my audience about love, attraction, sex, dating, situationships, and relationships? A LOT!  In this girls-night-turned-podcast, we crack open everything from lust to heartbreak, and what women actually want in love. It starts playful, a little spicy, and quickly turns into something deeper. The kind of conversation you only have with your closest friends when the champagne and truths are flowing!  We talk about: • Red flags vs real chemistry • Why so many men avoid commitment • Phone etiquette, emotional availability & desire • Sex, intimacy, and why connection matters more than performance • Communication being the core to solving anything inside or outside the bedroom • How to stop settling for crumbs in relationships And SO MUCH MORE! This episode is messy in the best way. It’s laughter, vulnerability, honesty, and a reminder that beneath all the flirting and fun, every woman just wants to feel chosen, safe, and deeply loved. We close the episode with a powerful reminder from Jayme about doing the inner work required to break old relationship patterns and finding alignment within your body to feel truly desired without doing anything more, just connecting deeper with YOUR signals.  Utah friends!!

    Episode 26: When Your Child Grieves Your Divorce- We are a Brave, Not Broken Family

    This weekend, my son turned nine! 🎈❤️ We celebrated with sixteen boys, endless laughter, an Xbox, and a house that may never fully recover. But later that night, when everything was quiet, he cried and told me how hard it is that his parents aren’t together… and how scared he is to grow up. In this solo episode, I talk about: What it feels like when your child names a grief you can’t take awayWhy trying to “fix” emotions can create a gap in your relationshipHow I’m teaching my children to feel without shameMy own grief as I watch my boys move from babyhood into boyhoodAnd why I no longer believe in the idea of a “broken family”Nearly half of families today don’t fit the traditional mold. What if that isn’t a flaw… but a strength? This is an episode about holding space, choosing softness, and learning how to love in seasons that are both joyful and tender.

    Episode 25: Dear God, I’m Still Here- with Nigerian Afro Artist, PENI

    In this deeply moving episode of Earth Tones, I sit down with my friend- Afro artist PENI, who opens his heart and story with rare honesty. PENI shares what it was like growing up in Nigeria and experiencing profound loss early in life, losing both of his parents and his sister. He reflects on the distinct impact each of them had on shaping who he is today, and how their teachings around family, generosity, and showing up for others continue to guide his choices. Music became more than expression for PENI. It became memory. It became prayer. Through lyrical storytelling, he honors the people he’s lost and the love that still carries him forward. We talk about: •Growing up in Nigeria and navigating grief at a young age •How his parents and sister shaped his values and purpose •Using music as a way to remember, heal, and tell his story •His songs “Dear God” and “Dear God Pt. 2,” written for his lost family members •Wrestling with faith during life’s hardest seasons •Finding your way back to God when you feel distant, angry, or unsure PENI also shares his hopes for the future. Building stability for himself and his brothers, creating financial freedom, and stepping into his next chapter with deeper faith and momentum. He has new music dropping in March, and this conversation offers a powerful glimpse into the heart behind the sound. 🎶 Listen to PENI’s music on Apple Music and Spotify: Dear God Dear God Pt. 2 If you’ve ever questioned God, grieved deeply, or tried to turn pain into purpose, this episode will sit with you long after it ends.

    Episode 24: When Parents Are Human: Softening Toward the Past & Meeting My Father- Grown

    Childhood healing, divorce, inner child, family relationships, imperfect parents, father daughter healing, emotional growth, forgiveness, healing journey, faith and healing, personal reflection, adult healing, feel to heal  This episode is a reflection of my childhood, divorce, and the armor I built to survive  and what happened when I returned to those memories later in life with adult eyes. I share what it was like growing up as a product of separation: the confusion, the emotional self-reliance, and the quiet ways I learned to protect myself long before I understood what I was protecting against. Much of this episode lives in that early terrain, the child navigating instability and learning how to be strong too soon. As the episode unfolds, I reflect on how time, faith, and lived experience slowly soften the past. I talk about releasing the need for perfect explanations, loosening the grip of ego and self-protection, and learning to assess love and apology not by completeness, but by intention. Later in the episode, I share what it meant to meet my father again as an adult- not as a child seeking repair, but as a woman grounded in compassion, boundaries, and grace. It’s not a story of resolution, but of my evolution: seeing my parents as human, and choosing forgiveness as a doorway to deeper love. This conversation is for anyone learning how to stay soft without losing themselves- and for those discovering that healing isn’t about fixing the past, but about meeting it differently.

    Episode 23: Staying Soft as the World Hardens & My 2026 North Stars

    The world has a way of teaching us to harden- to protect ourselves by closing off, pulling back, or carrying unspoken resentment. But wisdom doesn’t require hardness, and discernment doesn’t have to turn into bitterness. In this episode, I reflect on what it means to stay soft without losing your wisdom- to practice discernment as clarity rather than resentment, and to protect your heart without closing it. I talk about how unresolved hurt can quietly shape our posture toward life, and how choosing discernment with compassion can help purify the heart so we’re able to walk in love- even when relationships, seasons, and people are imperfect. In this episode, I share: The difference between discernment and resentmentHow wisdom can coexist with tendernessWhy forgiveness is a practice, not a bypassHow to guard your heart without hardening itMy three North Stars for 2026- the values I’ll return to when life feels heavyBeing “labeled” for taking space from hurtful communities or church should be more acceptable and understood Thanking past relationships for leavingThis episode isn’t about fixing yourself or forcing outcomes. It’s about choosing the posture you want to live from- one rooted in clarity, love, and grounded faith. ✨ If you’re entering this year wanting to live wisely without becoming hardened, this episode is for you.

    Episode 22: Maintenance Over Mastery- Mantras, Forgiveness, and a God Who Stays

    As we step into a new year, Episode 22 of Earth Tones offers a gentle alternative to the pressure of New Year’s resolutions! This episode explores why mantras are more invitational than resolutions — why they don’t demand perfection, discipline, or constant self-correction, but instead invite us back to ourselves again and again. Mantras are not about mastery. They’re about maintenance. About staying. About returning. At the beginning of the episode, I take a moment to look back on 2025 — not only through the lens of Earth Tones but through my own personal becoming. ✨ Earth Tones reached 796 downloads, listeners in 31 countries, and over 130 cities — something I never imagined when this podcast began. But beyond the numbers, 2025 was a year of stillness. A year of choosing presence over escape. Of learning how to stay with myself in difficult moments instead of running from them. This year also reshaped how I see God. I share how my understanding of God has deepened — how God is no longer attached to outcomes, blessings, or perceived rewards. I don’t believe God deals “good hands” or “bad hands” based on worthiness. Our environments, systems, and circumstances create much of what we experience — and God sits with us through all of it. When we tie God only to outcomes, we risk underestimating the quiet, constant presence of God in the world — especially in moments that don’t resolve neatly. The episode closes with me sharing my personal mantra and intention for 2026, centered on forgiveness — forgiving others, forgiving myself, and learning how deeper love often lives on the other side of that work. This episode isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about learning how to stay with who you already are! 🌿 In this episode: Why mantras are more sustainable than resolutionsMaintenance vs. mastery as a spiritual and emotional practiceA reflective look back at 2025 — personally and with Earth Tones!Reframing how we understand God, presence, and circumstanceMy 2026 mantra centered on forgivenessConnect with Host, Ella 🎞️ Earth Tones Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/earthtones.podcast 🎞️ Personal Instagram https://www.instagram.com/earthmamaella 🎬 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@earthtones.podcast 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@earthtones-podcast

    Episode 21: 🎁🎄 Splitting the Holidays (When the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Feels Complicated)- with Host Ella Kuhn

    Today’s episode is a little different. I was recently interviewed by a dear friend and fellow single mother on her podcast about navigating the holidays when the kids aren’t with you. She generously allowed me to share the raw audio here on Earth Tones, because the reflections are deeply personal-  and come directly from my own lived experience over the last six years! While this is a conversation, this episode is really a personal reflection about grief, perspective, ego, and what has helped me move through the holidays when they feel complicated. Interview conducted by a fellow single parent and close friend, whose thoughtful questions helped guide this reflection!  Hope you enjoy, and please take care of your heart if this is a year you are navigating alone.

    Episode 20: Rebellion, Sensuality, and the Long Road Home- with Ki

    In this episode, we explore what happens after survival — when rebellion no longer needs to be sharp, and the body begins asking for softness, honesty, and care. Joined by a woman from the Virgin Islands, a young mother, and a guide in embodiment work, this conversation moves gently but truthfully through the evolution many women experience: from rebellion as protection, to responsibility as reckoning, to sensuality as self-love. This episode challenges narratives and offers another path: one where faith and sensuality can coexist, where embodiment is not perfection or performance, and where self-advocacy becomes a sacred act. Together, we reflect on: Rebellion as a survival language — and what it was protectingSensuality beyond sex: presence, voice, boundaries, and self-careEmbodiment as a lifelong process, not a destinationHolding religious identity and bodily wisdom at the same timeThe ways our ancestors were taught silence — and how we can choose advocacyLearning to come home to the body slowly, honestly, and without shameThis episode is for women who have lived in extremes — obedience or rebellion, suppression or self-protection — and are now seeking a softer, truer way to live inside themselves. Sensuality, here, is not about performance. It’s about listening. It’s about advocating for your needs. It’s about learning how to stay. About the Guest Our guest is a Virgin Islands–rooted mother, embodiment guide, and wellness practitioner whose work centers on helping women reconnect to their bodies through compassion, self-trust, and nervous-system–informed care.

It is not explicit, but it is honest. If this topic feels tender for you, listen at your own pace and with care.
