    Season 5 is here! In this milestone episode, Tina and Kelsey pull back the curtain on the last year and nine months of Bloom with Tina and Kelsey — from recording their very first episode to now building a real community on YouTube. They reflect on how the podcast has become a place of personal transformation: Tina shares how writing her book and going through her retirement "grief process" helped her find a new identity as an author, while Kelsey talks about the confidence and consistency she's built as a co-host and financial planner. They also look ahead to Season 5's lineup of guests — empowering women they've met at retreats who are ready to share their own transformational stories — and open up about their vision for the podcast's future: more community, more clarity, and (half-jokingly) a billboard or two!! The episode wraps with an invitation to their upcoming in-person retreat in Whitehouse, Ohio. ✨ Join us for our next retreat — September 20th, 1:00–5:00 PM at Tina's home in Whitehouse, Ohio!

    Ep. 92: Gift Economy - Giving Without Expectation with Halina Schriefer of Ordinary Pioneer

    In this episode, we welcome back Halina Schriefer from Ordinary Pioneer to talk about the concept of gift economy — the practice of giving freely from the heart, without expecting anything in return. Halina shares how she's built Ordinary Pioneer into a thriving, interdependent community over the past five to six years by trusting this model rather than a traditional transactional business approach. We dig into what gift economy really means (and what it doesn't), how it connects to spirituality and the ego, why filling your own cup has to come first, and how listeners can start weaving small acts of gift economy into their everyday lives — no major life overhaul required. Halina also shares details on her upcoming in-person class, Intuitive Abundance, happening September 19th at 10 a.m. at Ordinary Pioneer, located in Whitehouse, Ohio. In This Episode We Discuss: • What "gift economy" means, and its roots in Charles Eisenstein's Sacred Economics • How modern society pushes independence and self-sufficiency over interdependent community — and the toll that takes • The story of how Ordinary Pioneer grew from one or two students into a full community over five-plus years • The idea of "emptying yourself" to let a mission come through without attachment to personal gain • Why self-care and filling your own well have to come before giving to others — and what happens when that order gets reversed • The difference between the ego's "higher mind" and "lower mind" (and how that maps to the spiritual idea of soul vs. ego) • Trusting that your needs are met in each moment, rather than giving from fear or obligation • The tension many women feel between gift economy and charging their worth in business • Everyday, low-stakes ways to practice gift economy: helping a neighbor, offering a smile, showing up for someone • Seva (selfless service) vs. volunteering, and how Ordinary Pioneer blends both A Thought to Ponder Halina put it simply: gift economy doesn't have to be a big, unattainable thing. It can be as small as carrying in a neighbor's groceries or offering a genuine smile to a stranger. This week, try noticing one moment where you can give without expecting anything back — and pay attention to how it feels in your body, not just your bank account. Where in your life are you already living in gift economy without realizing it? Call to Action If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who could use a reminder that they don't have to do life alone. And if you want to go deeper into the ideas Halina shared, check out her upcoming class, Intuitive Abundance, September 19th at 10 a.m. at Ordinary Pioneer — or catch the recording afterward on the Ordinary Pioneer YouTube channel.

    Ep. 91: When the Vision Shifts, Everything Shifts - Redefining Wealth with Patrice Washington

    In today's episode of Bloom with Tina and Kelsey, Tina and Kelsey talk with Patrice Washington, known as "America's Money Maven" — a nationally recognized brand, bestselling books, and prime TV segments on the Steve Harvey show. By every external measure, she had made it. But on the inside, something was off. And before she'd say yes to walking away from the box she'd built around herself, life would have to give her a boulder to get her attention. In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Patrice joins Tina and Kelsey to unpack the transition that birthed the Redefining Wealth movement — and the Six Pillars that now guide thousands of people back to authentic alignment. This is a conversation about alignment over achievement, faith over fear, and building a life that feels as good as it looks. Redefining Wealth LIVE is a transformative, purpose-driven event designed to help individuals align their lives with their vision, well-being, and true definition of wealth. Hosted by Patrice Washington, it's a three-day global virtual experience for entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, visionaries, and Purpose Chasers who want to reconnect with their vision, realign their lives, and rise into their next level of leadership. The event emphasizes that true wealth is more than money — focusing on well-being, purpose, relationships, and sustainable success. The 2026 event, scheduled for September 17–19, follows a structured framework across three days: Day 1: Awakening — Participants examine current patterns, habits, and beliefs to gain awareness of what shapes their decisions. Day 2: Redefining — Attendees explore the Six Pillars of Wealth: Faith, People, Space, Work, Money, and Well-being, creating a root system to support sustainable success. Day 3: Actualizing — Focuses on translating insights into actionable steps, leaving participants with a grounded framework and community support to implement their vision.

    Ep. 90: Finding Peace in Your Community

    In today's episode of Bloom with Tina and Kelsey, we explore what it truly means to find peace through community. Fresh off Ordinary Pioneer's Peace Fest, Tina and Kelsey share the excitement of gathering with people from all backgrounds — healing sessions, music, Tina's crystal sound bowls, storytelling, shared meals, and the simple joy of being together. You’ll hear how visions become reality when you “let it be easy,” how community can rebuild your sense of belonging, and why stepping into a new season of life often happens when you least expect it. If you’ve been craving connection, inspiration, or a reminder that you don’t have to build everything alone, this episode will feel like a warm hug. Key Takeaways: 1. Community brings peace. Peace Fest reminded us how healing it is to gather with people from all backgrounds — sharing food, music, stories, and energy in a space where everyone is welcome. 2. Your vision doesn’t always require hard work — sometimes it unfolds naturally. 3. “Let it be easy.” When you release the need to control every detail, the right opportunities and people show up. You don’t have to build everything alone. 4. Community isn’t about one person carrying the load — it’s about everyone bringing their gifts. This episode shows how stepping into your role (not every role) creates more joy and less pressure. 5. You’re allowed to enter a new season. After years of “building the village,” there’s a shift into living in it — embracing ease, connection, and alignment. 6. Intuition and emotional awareness matter. From children noticing your joy, this episode encourages listeners to trust their inner knowing.

    Get ready to be inspired and transported back into time on this week's episode of Bloom with Tina and Kelsey. We sit down with Carole Sarkan, the remarkable author behind "From the Letters of Private Jim: Letters to Bette." Carole was inspired by her father's 1200 World War II letters written to the love of his life, Bette. The letters unveil the raw emotions and undying affection of a young soldier on the front lines during World War II. Carole brings to life the essence of her father's experiences through vivid storytelling as he is reading his own letters years later. No matter what battles we face, whether on the front lines or in life, love is a powerful force that can inspire hope and healing.

    Ep. 88: Taking Small Steps Toward Your Big Vision

    In today's episode of Bloom with Tina and Kelsey, Tina and Kelsey discuss how taking one step at a time towards a big vision is crucial for success. Remember that achieving big visions doesn't happen overnight. Every great accomplishment starts with a single step! Focus on what you can do today, not the enormity of the entire project. Key concepts from today's episode: 1. Surround yourself with inspiration: Engage with people who inspire you. Seek out those who are already taking action and achieving their goals. Their energy can be contagious! 2. Overcome self-doubt: Let go of the idea that you need all the resources or a complete plan to begin. Take action. This can be applied to anything, even in small increments, can pave the way to your dreams. 3. Create rituals in your space: Set up your physical and mental space to support your journey. Incorporate scents, sounds, and surroundings that energize and focus you, making your workspace a joy to be in! 4. Start journaling your ideas: Whether it's through writing, recording, or just brainstorming, capture your thoughts. This process can lead to clarity and eventually to remarkable outcomes like writing a book you dream about. 5. Declutter your space and mind: Tidying up your physical and mental environment is powerful. One small decluttering task a day can transform your space and provide clarity to your mind.
