This episode is a continuation of the last episode where I shared the news of something I've been moving through in my personal life.

In this episode, we explore:

-The collective archetype of Divorce and why it's important to be aware of it.
- The perils, pitfalls, and disempowerment that go hand-in-hand with the blame game and victimhood.
- How to resist the ego's bait and return to the heart when we're feeling hurt, betrayed, resentful, scared, etc.
- How to implement heart-led boundaries (as opposed to boundaries formed out of fear) and why boundaries are a necessary precursor to compassion.
- Why eliminating fear isn't the solution to our discomfort (as well as the true solution).
- How to leverage the transformative power of pain and heartbreak to return to our innate wholeness.

Please don't hesitate to reach out through my website if you're going through a difficult time, too.

In this episode, we explore four life lessons that are repeated time and time again. In knowing that these lessons present themselves in perpetuity, we can begin to soften to their guidance in a gentle, non-resistant, and surrendered kind of way. And the more we embrace this sort of openness, the more fluidly and nimbly we can move through these lessons, and the more we're able to welcome their wisdom.

The 4 life lessons we cover in this episode:

1. Life gives us what we need to learn, not necessarily what we want to experience.

2. When it seems as if life as we've known it is "falling apart," we're being divinely cracked open so that we can open to ourSelves (big S) more fully.

3. The way of the heart is the Soul's chosen and destined path, yet it often conflicts with the ego's chosen path of safety, certainty, and comfort.

4. In every situation or circumstance, the seed of Wisdom and the most profound meaning is found in the middle.

Es ist wieder soweit, Weihnachten steht vor der Tür. Und überall höre ich, dass die Leute im „Weihnachtsstress“ sind. Da sei die Frage erlaubt: „Wieso sind die Leute eigentlich so gestresst?“

Meine Theorie lautet, weil sie den Anspruch haben, Weihnachten müsste „Vollkommen“ sein.

Das Wort „Vollkommen“ steht, laut Thesaurus, auch für: Optimal, das Beste vom Besten, ideal, perfekt, einwandfrei, fehlerlos, makellos, meisterhaft, tadellos, tipp topp… Und genau so hätten es viele von uns gerne. Das perfekte Weihnachten. Doch oftmals bleibt eine Person bei diesem Anspruch auf der Strecke. Nämlich du!

Gerade in dieser Vorweihnachtszeit ist es wichtig auch mal runterzukommen. Nimm‘ dir Zeit für dich selbst und hole dich selbst immer wieder mal aus der „Stressmühle“ raus. In dieser Podcast-Folge erzähle ich dir, wie ich das hinbekomme. 

Vielleicht ist da ja auch der eine oder andere nützliche Tipp für dich dabei…

In this “spiritual book club” edition of the show, Krista and musician/artist Devendra Banhart read favorite passages and discuss When Things Fall Apart, a small book of great beauty by the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön. It’s a work — like all works of spiritual genius — that speaks from the nooks and crannies and depths of a particular tradition, while conveying truths about humanity writ large. Their conversation speaks with special force to what it means to be alive and looking for meaning right now.

Devendra Banhart is a visual artist, musician, songwriter, and poet. His albums include Ma, Mala, What Will We Be, Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, and Cripple Crow, among others. His book of poetry is Weeping Gang Bliss Void Yab-Yum.

Kat and Moose discuss Coronavirus conspiracy theories and how to deal with isolation, loneliness and the newly unexpected time on all our hands. The conversation turns into sharing their favorite books, meditations and tv shows.

Kat reveals the new additions to her vocabulary thanks to the Coronavirus. Pandemic. Social-distancing. Flattening the curve. Moose isn’t mad about staying at home and slowing down. But Kat is mad about the time and energy spent on conspiracy theories. Did you know that Chinese citizens aren’t allowed to have a Twitter account?

Kat learns about the World Military Games and how one theory suggests that military personnel from the US may have brought Coronavirus to Wuhan, China. Who knew that China, Brazil and Russia would be the predominant leaders in the World Military Games?

Moose asks Kat about her activities as the world seems to be shutting down. Kat goes grocery shopping. Moose goes to Walgreens for Benadryl and leaves with sanitary gloves.

What can we do while we are stuck at home? Kat recommends writing your sponsored children through organizations like World Vision, Compassion, Food for the Hungry. The Vlog Brothers released an inspiring vlog about what to do during this time called The Anxious Scroll.

Moose recommends shopping locally, utilizing small businesses. Kat and Moose encourage you to CALL YOUR PEOPLE! Write a letter. Communicate with your family and friends.
