21 | The Man Behind The Magic | Lightin' Up with Produced by Matt

What’s up, fam! Episode 25 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast is now LIVE!
  
Today I am joined by one of my very best friends & sisters, Brenna @earthling_bren who is an herbalist & former vegan turned intuitive eater.
  
Brenna & I discuss her journey from being vegan for years to shifting to incorporating more animals into her nourishment. We discuss the first time she prepared & ate an animal, what she considers in her decision to consume animals, intuitive eating, reverence for the animals, & so much more.
  
We talk a lot about the plants, too! As an herbalist, earth witch, & medicine woman, Brenna has a strong connection with the plants. We talk about what that looks like for her, & how you can start to develop your own relationship with the plants.
  
I have learned so much from Brenna on my own plant & nourishment journey, so I KNOW you all are going to take something from this episode! I am really excited to shine light on this beautiful human & all of the profound work she is doing on this planet.
  
I know that this episode might be triggering for some people. Like, you know, vegans. But we want you to know that we recognize everyone’s constitution is different—what nourishes you, might not nourish me, & vice versa! We hold space for all expressions.
  
Thank you so much, Brenna, for being willing to open up about your journey! I know how vulnerable it is to be seen, but your expression is so valued in the world! Thank you for sharing your truth with us.
  
With that all being said, let’s grab a candle, sage, palo santo, sweet grass, incense, or sacred smoke, & let's LIGHTIN' UP TOGETHER! 🕯
  
As always, take what feels good & if it don't apply, LET IT FLY.

What’s up, fam! Episode 24 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast is now LIVE!
  
Today’s episode is a little bit different than the rest! I don’t sit down with Kirsten as an expert, but rather as a fellow 30-something-year-old woman who is contemplating motherhood.
  
We’re here to share an open, honest, vulnerable, & unfiltered conversation about whether or not we want to have children.
  
This is a big decision for women & couples to make at any point. Between considerations of finances to the changes in your body & lifestyle, there is a LOT to consider.
  
But with the current state of the world in 2022, we feel it adds an extra, very potent dynamic to consider—do we want to bring children into this fucked up world?
  
This episode is near & dear to my heart because it is a topic that has been weighing heavy on my heart. I am so grateful to Kirsten for having the idea to open up this dialogue. She saw me in my feelings, because she had experienced similar feelings & thoughts, which lead to a really beautiful dialogue.
  
I am so honored to share this piece of our hearts with you. If you are a woman wrestling with the same thoughts or feelings, we hope you feel validated, seen, & understood through this episode. You are not alone—no matter what you decide to do!
  
If you would like to connect with us further, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Kirsten’s & my contact information is listed below.
  
Huge shout out to Kirsten for bringing this episode to my awareness, & ultimately to fruition. It means so much to me that you were willing to step into such a vulnerable space with me—let alone on camera! I am also so touched by the ability to share more of my own perspectives in an episode.
  
With that all being said, let’s grab a candle, sage, palo santo, sweet grass, incense, or sacred smoke, & let's LIGHTIN' UP TOGETHER! 🕯
  
As always, take what feels good & if it don't apply, LET IT FLY.

On today’s episode, I sit down with my friends Shelby & Rich of Let’s Knot & Say We Did, an adventure elopement company in Phoenix, AZ.
  
You know I had to be cliché & release this episode about love on Valentine’s Day. But this episode is about so much more than just love & relationships!
  
Maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me, but this is easily one of my favorite episodes. I felt so lit up & inspired during this whole conversation!
  
Shelby, Rich, & I talk about their business, how it got started, what it’s like to not know what your “purpose” is, & how they’ve gotten to be successful by taking it one step at a time, following their intuition, & trusting the universe. We talk about how divine timing & orchestration has been at play in their lives big time!
  
We also discuss love, of course. We talk about how Shelby & Rich met, how Shelby had been manifesting Rich, their love story, Rich’s divorce, how they keep the love alive, & some other relationship tips & advice. I also share some insights that I’ve been learning in my own love portal!
  
I really enjoyed this conversation & I am 100% certain that you are going to love it, too. I know that everyone listening will take some insight, joy, laughter, or tip from this episode.
  
Thank you so much to Shelby & Rich for opening up & being so vulnerable with us! It is truly a pleasure to watch your love & business unfold in harmony. You both make me believe healthy, lasting, transformative love is possible!
  
Thank you for tuning into this conversation! I am really excited to shine light on my homies doing dope things in this world & pray that you feel inspired on your own journey after listening to this conversation!
  
Grab your candle, sage, palo santo, sweet grass, & sacred smoke, & let's LIGHTIN' UP TOGETHER! 🕯
  
As always, take what feels good & if it don't apply, LET IT FLY.

What’s up, fam! Episode 22 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast is now LIVE!
 
On today’s episode, I sit down with my friend NovTheZoner (@novthezoner_) who is a rapper, producer, & musical genius in Phoenix, AZ.
 
If you haven’t watched Nov’s performance of “The Ugliest Things” Live on YouTube yet, I’m gonna need you to go ahead & do that before you sit down & listen to this episode. It’s about 18 minutes of pure bliss. For optimal enjoyment, listen to it loud & make sure you have room to dance.
 
Nov & I talk about the inspiration behind some of his lyrics, creative alchemy—how he turns his experiences into art, how he stays motivated, the people he surrounds him with, using affirmations in his music, trusting the process, & allowing time for rest.
 
I almost named this episode “Let Go & Let God” because that was a major takeaway from this episode.
 
Whether you’re a creative person (we all are), an artist, musician, or you work in the corporate world, I think everyone will be able to take some inspiration & joy from this episode!
 
My favorite things about Nov are that he is a genuinely good dude who puts a lot of intention into his music & raps about things that are inspiring, uplifting, heartfelt, authentic, & real. Nov is the real deal & I’m really excited to shine light on all the magic that he’s creating in the world!
 
Thank you for tuning into this conversation! I am really excited to shine light on my homies doing dope things in this world & pray that you feel inspired on your own journey after listening to this conversation!
 
Grab your candle, sage, palo santo, sweet grass, & sacred smoke, & let's LIGHTIN' UP TOGETHER! 🕯

What’s up, fam! Episode 21 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast is now LIVE!
  
On today’s episode, I sit down with my friend Matt Campbell (@producedbymatt) to shine some light on the man behind the magic!
  
Matt is a multi-media producer who does pretty much everything to make shit happen behind the scenes with artists like Odd Squad Family & The Kaleidoscope Kid. I’m really excited to shine some light on the man who is usually behind the camera!
  
We talk a lot about how Matt got involved in music, the unconventional path he has taken including dropping out of high school & never going to college, learning from the greats, & so much other helpful information for creatives (which is all of us!).
  
Matt is usually pretty quiet, so it was really fun to witness him open up in this way! I’m so grateful for all of the help he has given me on my journey with Rekallabrate, including helping me build my first website, figure out how to work iMovie, getting this podcast started, & so much more. I’m constantly in awe of his work ethic, attitude, & the way he gets shit done!
  
Thank you for tuning into this conversation! I am really excited to shine light on my homies doing dope things in this world & pray that you feel inspired on your own journey!

What’s up, fam! Episode 20 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast is now LIVE!
  
On today’s episode, I sit down with my friends in Odd Squad Family to discuss just fucking LOVING YOURSELF already!!!
  
We had a really great conversation about loving yourself despite any “imperfections,” going after your dreams, the fact that we are all going to die, the benefits of microdosing, the magic created in the studio, The Kaleidoscope Kult, dolphin assisted births, & so much more!
  
Not gonna lie, this is one of the most fun episodes that I’ve recorded. You’re going to hear a lot of coughing & a lot of laughing—you can thank the ganja for both. But all jokes aside, I think that you all are going to love this episode, too.
 
My favorite thing about the guys in Odd Squad Family is that they truly embrace their oddities—& we all have them! They keep it real & inspire me to do the same. Not to mention, they are boldly going after their dreams & it’s cool as fuck to watch.

What’s up, fam! Episode 19 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast is now LIVE!
  
On today’s episode, I sit down with my friend Sincerely Collins  to discuss being an alien incarnated on earth at this time. Sincerely Collins AKA Kyle Collins is a rapper, dad, alien, & artist in Phoenix, AZ & we’ve been friends since high school—that’s like, seventeen years!
  
We cover so many things in this episode that I know everyone will be able to take something from it. We discuss being a lightworker during dark times, the dark agenda of the music industry, how Kyle handles parenting in a world with TikTok & Lil Nas X, staying true to yourself, speaking your truth, what Kyle has been watching on YouTube lately, & so much more.
    
One of my favorite things about Kyle is that he never gives up & isn’t afraid to walk boldly in the direction of his dreams. If you’re looking for some extra motivation in your own life, I think you’ll find it in this episode.
  
Thank you for tuning into this conversation! I am really excited to shine light on my homies doing dope things in this world & pray that you feel inspired on your own journey!

What’s up, fam! Episode 18 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast is now LIVE!
  
On today’s episode, I sit down with my friend The Real Khiry to discuss being IN the world, but not OF the world. Khiry is a rapper, activist, philanthropist, MC, & all around BADASS here in Phoenix, AZ & I am truly honored to shine light on all that he is!
  
Khiry & I discuss the work that he does, how he stays motivated, being authentic, balancing spirituality with our human nature, & so much more. One of my favorite things about Khiry is that he’s here for the entirety of the human experience. Khiry will post pictures of his bible followed by a video of him performing at the strip club. & honestly, I’m here for it all.
  
That’s why I titled this episode “in the world, not of the world.” Khiry & I discuss how we are spiritual beings having a human experience. But so many people get so wrapped up in the spiritual aspect that they forget that they also came here to be HUMAN! That means feeling our feelings, having fun, & sometimes drinking a glass of red wine.

17 | Self-Love, Fake Eyelashes, Instagram Filters, & Falling in Love | Lightin' Up with Myself

What’s up, fam! After a much needed break, I am so excited to be back with episode 17 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast!
  
On today’s episode, I’m kickin’ it solo to give you all a little update on my life. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you might have noticed I haven’t been *as* active at times. You also might have noticed that is because I’ve been deep in a LOVE PORTAL. Tune into this episode to get the tea on my love life.
  
I also wanted to take this opportunity to address a post I made on Instagram the other week about self-love & fake eyelashes & Instagram filters that was, & still is, triggering to a lot of people. It seems to me you either loved or hated that post. While I still stand by what I said, I wanted to explain in a little bit more depth what my thoughts are on self love & how that relates to instagram filters, fake eyelashes, & other manufactured beauty standards.
  
I also go into more detail about my personal self-love journey, which is always a work in progress, but has already resulted in greater self-love than I previously thought possible.
  
Please keep in mind that this is simply me sharing *my* perspective on *my* page. It is not personal, it is not about you specifically, & it is not up for debate. I do not claim to know all of the answers or how you should live your life. I don’t know shit about fuck except my own life—please keep that in mind always.
  
If you feel triggered by something I say, I invite you to sit with that trigger & process it yourself, rather than reaching out to me & expecting me to defend or alter my perspective in order to make you feel more comfortable. Your triggers are yours & I cannot *make* you feel anything. That is law.
  
That being said, thank you for sticking it out with me despite being triggered from time to time. I’m pretty sure I trigger every single person on my page at least once—thank you for loving me (& yourself) through it.  Grab your candle, sage, palo santo, sweet grass, & sacred smoke, & let's LIGHTIN' UP TOGETHER! 🕯
  
As always, take what feels good & if it don't apply, LET IT FLY.

Welcome to Episode 16 of the Lightin’ Up Podcast! On today’s episode, I am joined by my friend Kelly, who is an end of life doula. We sat down to have a death cafe—a conversation about death & dying.
  
The goal of a death cafe is to simply just open up a dialogue about death. It isn’t just a grief group—a death cafe invites anyone who has something to say about death to come share. Some of us might have questions about our own death, we might have lost someone, been diagnosed with an illness, or anything else related to death, aging, & dying.

The fact of the matter is that death will come for all of us. We, & everyone we love, are all going to die—regardless of whether we face it or not. Kelly & I are of the opinion that death is something we all benefit from facing. One way to face death is to talk about it. So, that’s what we did—& we hope that you will join us in the conversation.
  
When we accept death as a part of life, we love more deeply. We show our affection, express our love, take the time, live in the present, remember patience, & treat others how we want to be treated.
  
Despite the fact that death will come for all of us, it is still obviously a very sensitive subject. So, please be conscious that this episode might bring up certain emotions if you choose to listen.
  
Though, the purpose of a death cafe & having this conversation is to show that death is not scary, but rather merely a part of life. It is our intention to shed LIGHT on this topic, so that it doesn’t feel so dark. We hope that by sharing this conversation with all of you, we can inspire some peace of mind around the topic of death.
  
This episode was recorded back in August, but due to the nature of the topic, I wanted to wait until a time that felt right to release it. Today, Dia de los Muertos felt like the perfect day to honor those have passed & talk about the potent topic of death.
  
Thank you for tuning in! This is a potent episode—& totally aligned with it being Scorpio season. Death, transformation, & alchemy, baby!  Grab your candle, sage, palo santo, sweet grass, & sacred smoke, & let's LIGHTIN' UP TOGETHER! 🕯As always, take what feels good & if it don't apply, LET IT FLY.Please note that this podcast is for entertainment purposes only, and nothing in this episode (or any other episode) should be taken as medical, legal, or other professional advice.
