"Codependency is one of the only relational blueprints we have been given relationally, and we're ready for a new template for love to dance in new ways." -Kylie McBeath

It's not our fault we've been given this pattern, but it is a choice whether we continue to live it.

In episode 44, Kylie McBeath shares her insight on some common roadblocks people encounter on their path towards self actualization. Coming home to self, codependency, and embodiment are a few topics discussed today. These core pillars contribute to Kylie's growth and current place of wisdom as she continues on her path.  Hopefully you can find a few pearls to take with you from her honesty and journey. 

You may know Kylie as @beingisbeautiful on Instagram or her podcast, "The Journey Home" where shares a lot of her journey with us. Kylie is a mother, writer and soul-doula who supports women in breaking out of codependent patterns and remembering their soul's purpose. Kylie is on a mission to restore the feminine principle and make this world a harmonious, just and liberated place to call home.  

Kylie is also the co-founder of digital wellness company & community, Zura Health, and founding expert at Felt formally known as Mine'd.

Today, in episode 43, you hear from Adam Smith also known as “AttachmentAdam” on his social media handles. Adam is our “avoidant” attachment style expert and educates us on the qualities and characteristics that are unique with the AVOIDANT attachment style.

Adam has been working in attachment for most of his professional career, long before people knew what attachment was.  Adam "fixed" his own anxious style on his own which that led him to a lifelong desire to understand how humans connect and why they get broken.  Adam got his MA in psych under professors who worked int he field for decades.  He has trained other professionals on attachment, written books, courses, and now runs his own online brand.  Check out his links below to see what he's offering.

Welcome to the "For the Men" Mini-Series!
Episodes 38. and 39. are designed to encourage men (anyone actually) to stretch beyond the limiting stereotypes society puts on the role of the masculine. The guests in episodes 38. and 39. are two incredible examples of men who inspire other men do just that.  Click HERE to listen to episode 38 with Luke Monteleone share his insights on ego death, purpose, trauma and more!
Today, Matt MacDonald, aka. @men.with.manners, coaches good men to become the best versions of themselves. We chat about how men can deepen their friendships with other men, how to break up with people pleasing, and how to face the shameful “not good enough syndrome” so many people face.
In his professional work, Matt enjoys coaching men relationships and dating, which typically includes helping men working through bigger blocks such as self love, shame, confidence, people pleasing, and other distorted beliefs.
This episode is definitely worth a listen, and please share with anyone who you know could benefit from hearing some of these important messages.
