    Episode 88: How To Spot The Stories Running Your Life

    Send us Fan Mail Your brain can make a story feel like a fact in seconds and then build a whole identity on top of it. Today we pull that apart, gently but honestly, and show how the “script” in your head shapes your money mindset, your physical healing journey, and the patterns you keep reliving in relationships and friendships. We talk about why we attach to stories in the first place: safety, familiarity, and sometimes a hidden secondary gain like sympathy, accommodations, or a reason not to show up fully. That can be hard to hear, especially when trauma is real, but we hold it with compassion. The goal is not self-blame, it’s self-awareness. When you can say “this is a story,” you stop handing it the steering wheel. We also get practical about how to change it. We share ways to spot the loop by tracking repeating patterns, emotions, and triggers, then doing the two-part work of surrender plus reprogramming. We use real examples around finances and cultural beliefs about prestige, and we offer a tool that helps fast: look for contradicting evidence that proves the old narrative is not the whole truth. We also name the uncomfortable part: when you rewrite a story, your nervous system may panic because the new belief is unfamiliar.

    Episode 87: Your Inner Teenager Wants Tacos

    Send us Fan Mail Denise sits with coach Emma Hicks to follow the thread from people-pleasing and codependency to sovereignty, secure attachment, and a relationship that could withstand honest change. The story moves through retreats, ignored intuition, a formal separation, and the surprising freedom that arrives when you stop trying so hard and start listening to your body, your boundaries, and your breath. We get specific about what “doing the work” looks like. Emma maps anxious attachment in the moment—a text arrives, the inner teenager says yes, and the mature self pauses long enough to answer from truth. We unpack reparenting in practice, from giving your inner child space to moving energy instead of endlessly analyzing the past. Denise grounds the ideas with a real boundary win: choosing rest and a deadline over a fun dinner, saying no without over-explaining, and protecting a nervous system that no longer runs on scarcity. It’s a masterclass in clean yes and no, built on a living vision of peace rather than perfection. About Emma: Emma Hicks is a coach who helps women stop performing and start living from truth—reconnecting to their intuition and building soul-rich lives, relationships, and leadership.

    Episode 86: Your Goals Do Not Need A Death Grip

    Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to exhaust yourself is to demand that life hits one exact outcome. We get honest about attachment and how it creates suffering, from money and success to homes, health, and the people we love most. We talk through a simple spiritual truth (including a Wayne Dyer reminder that we come in with nothing and leave with nothing) and translate it into real life: what it looks like when you’re “death gripping” a goal, spiraling in obsessive thinking, or tying your worth to external proof. Kira shares how values work revealed a painful misalignment between chasing business success and being present with family, and we unpack why detaching from the outcome can actually bring more peace, better choices, and more sustainable growth. We also connect attachment to healing. If you identify as “the sick person”, you may fear who you’ll be when you’re well. If you’re attached to perfect health, you can get stuck in desperation, overcorrecting with supplements, protocols, and control. We go there with parenting too: loving your kids fiercely while remembering they are their own people, and you are still you beyond soccer practice, college plans, or approval.

    Episode 85: What You Consume Shapes Your Nervous System

    Send us Fan Mail Your nervous system is learning from everything you consume, and we mean everything. Kira and Denise unpack why you can eat “healthy,” avoid junk, and still feel anxious, wired, or exhausted if the rest of your inputs are training your body for threat. We get specific about modern stressors like doomscrolling, fear based news, and background drama that quietly keeps you in fight or flight. We also zoom out to the people side of consumption: the coworker who complains for 30 minutes, the family member who brings negativity into the room, and the relationships that leave you tense long after the conversation ends. Then we flip the script on a sneaky trap on the healing journey: overconsuming “good” content. Ten podcasts a day, constant webinars, and obsessive health rules can create information overload that dysregulates the nervous system just as much as junk media. Finally, we go deeper into inherited patterns and what “it runs in the family” can really mean when habits, beliefs, and coping strategies get passed down. We close with practical 1% shifts for mornings and nights plus a calming 4-4-4 breathing reset with the mantra “It is safe for me to trust my nervous system.” If this helped, subscribe, share with a friend who needs more peace, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

    Episode 84: Tell ChatGPT To Shut Up Sometimes

    Send us Fan Mail AI is fast, confident, and always available, which is exactly why it can be so dangerous on a healing journey. We’ve both used tools like ChatGPT and we’re not here to pretend otherwise, but we keep seeing the same pattern: people stop pausing, stop thinking, and start treating a prompt like a prescription.  We unpack the real pros of artificial intelligence in the health and wellness space, like transcribing sessions, organizing notes, drafting calmer emails, and saving clinicians time without replacing their expertise. Then we get into the cons that don’t get talked about enough: AI errors, missing context, and the way it can lure you into relying on information instead of building nervous system regulation, self-trust, and boundaries. If you are feeding it fear, it can mirror that fear right back and keep you stuck in analysis paralysis.  The deeper theme is simple but not easy: healing can’t be outsourced. Not to AI, not to podcasts, not to another protocol. We talk about intuition, silence, and why “more answers” can disconnect you from your body and from other humans, the very things that support real change. We close with a short breathing practice and a reminder we both need: it is safe for me to trust myself.  Support the show Follow us on Instagram, leave a review, and share your experiences – we'd love to hear what resonates with you!

    Episode 83: The Vibration Plate Era Needs A Pause

    Send us Fan Mail We’ve both noticed a pattern that keeps showing up everywhere: we overdo it. We overdo wellness routines, we overdo productivity, we overdo sports schedules, we overdo beauty trends, and then we wonder why we feel anxious, depleted, or like nothing is working. The truth we keep coming back to is simple and confronting: you might not have a motivation problem at all. You might have a nervous system problem, and piling on more “solutions” can quietly add more stress. Denise and Kira dig into what drives the spiral, including fear, comparison, and that itchy feeling that you’re falling behind if you’re not trying the newest supplement or the latest healing protocol. We talk about why social media makes everything look instant and effortless, why the behind-the-scenes story is usually missing, and how overconsumption can reinforce the belief that you’re broken. Whether it shows up in health or business, the pattern is the same: outsourcing your power to the next thing. If this hit home, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s doing too much, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation. Where do you most need to hit pause right now?

    Episode 82: Why Your Self Care Routine Isn’t Changing You

    Send us Fan Mail If you’re meditating, journaling, praying, tapping, or consuming nonstop self-help content yet waking up with anxiety and reacting the same way you always have, we get it, because we’ve lived it. Today we dig into a simple but confronting question: are your practices creating real healing and transformation, or have they become rituals you use to “check the box” and avoid the deeper work? We talk about what transformation actually looks like in daily life: changing thought loops, calming the nervous system in real time, building boundaries and self-trust, and recovering faster after you get triggered. We share why tools like meditation can be supportive without being transformative, how walking and time in nature can unlock subconscious reprogramming, and why creativity like drawing, painting, or even adult coloring can quiet the mind when sitting still doesn’t work. We also challenge the urge to give your power away to books, retreats, podcasts, or even a course, because nothing changes until you apply it moment by moment. If you’re craving more inner peace, less reactivity, and a path that feels grounded instead of performative, this is your reminder that healing is built through small, consistent shifts, the 1% changes that move you from zero to one.  Support the show Follow us on Instagram, leave a review, and share your experiences – we'd love to hear what resonates with you!

    Episode 81: Wealthy Doesn't Mean Greedy: Debunking Money Myths

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Kira is joined by money mindset coach Yvette Farinha for a powerful conversation about how unconscious beliefs around money quietly shape our financial reality. Yvette shares how her grandmother’s financial struggles and a sudden loss led her to uncover generational money patterns that were capping her own success without her realizing it. Through relatable stories and eye-opening examples, Yvette explains how early childhood moments, such as overheard comments about wealthy people, are stored in the subconscious and later surface as self-sabotage, scarcity, or guilt around earning more. The conversation dives into common money blocks, especially among healers and service providers, including the “witch wound”—the belief that charging for your gifts is wrong or unsafe. Together, they explore why undercharging doesn’t just limit income but also impacts client results and why energetic exchange matters: when people invest, they show up differently. Yvette also shares practical tools for identifying subconscious resistance, including noticing the automatic “buts” that surface after a desire and understanding how thoughts and beliefs carry energetic frequencies. This episode is a must-listen if you struggle with imposter syndrome, fear of visibility, or believing abundance is truly available to you. Yvette offers compassionate insights and actionable shifts to help you move from scarcity into abundance, faster and more intentionally. About Yvette: Yvette is a money mindset and manifesting coach who helps coaches, healers, and creatives go from overwhelmed, frustrated entrepreneurs to creating thriving money-making businesses.  Find Yvette: Instagram Youtube Support the show Follow us on Instagram, leave a review, and share your experiences – we'd love to hear what resonates with you!
