Let's Play: The Create Podcast

Oh, do you know that you already have the best dance partner that the Universe could ever make? Yep! That’s right — and it’s YOUR MUSE!! And LIFE is your DANCE!! And often we “miss the dance” because we think we are trying to “get” somewhere, and in doing so, we miss the delicious incarnation that Life has in store for us!! The conditionings of our society has us so focus on the end result on the finish line, that we fail to see that “existence is basically playful” as Allan Watts tell us.

Oh, you know how AMAZING it feels to be in love? When Life feels SO ALIVE in your senses? The whole world has a new sense of color, vibrancy, and energy. Well, we DIVE DEEP into this felling of LOVE because LOVE is the energy of who you are, it is the presence all around you, it is ALWAYS there for you to access at any moment.

No one shines like a diamond brighter than Frankie Grande! You may know our dear glitter unicorn friend from Big Brother, the broadway stage or his beautiful luminescent social media presence. We had so much fun doing our make up, talking spirituality and the creative process! Listen and join our #100daysofjoy challenge and get ready for a love bomb explosion!!!!!

It happens when you are waiting for the subway… or waiting line at the grocery store… or waiting to hear if you got the part… or waiting for the second date after the REALLY hot first date. DELAY. That’s right. Isn’t it fascinating that once you know what you want, you want it RIGHT AWAY? What is our issue with waiting? Why do we get so frustrated with process? Why is the delay essential and what is its function? How can we learn to accept the “delay” and actually use it for our growth, maturity, and wisdom? And….most importantly, can it be JOYFUL?

Why do we fear Emptiness? It is because of our belief in lack? What if we could re-examine our relationship to Emptiness? In order for something new to be born, the space must first be cleared. So, anytime we are desiring a new creation, we must make space. Or the space will be made FOR US. So, if you are noticing a lack or void of something in your life, perhaps that is the Universe telling you that something new, unlike what you have ever seen before is on the way. Maybe it’s time we started courting Emptiness and seeing it as our pathway to the next level of our lives.

Are you tired of feeling like a slave to your schedule? Do you feel like your life gets wasted in “to do’s”? Are you ready for more ease, less stress? Are you ready for more play, less work? Then you may want to check out this interview with Cailen Ascher, who is ALL about the “3 Day Workweek.” Caiden is a Lifestyle Design Expert who loves to empower others to take control of their life and their schedule. Her mantra is “Work Less. Make More. Live Better.” Isn’t that something we all can get behind? It’s time to, as she says, “stop living by default” so that we can create lives — and schedules — that work for each one of us. You can also find her at www.cailenascher.com.

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for awhile, you have heard Natalie Roy reference the teacher who changed her life! Well, here she is — Christy Marsden!! Christy is the creator and owner of YogaBlend in Burbank, CA, and a guru of all things yoga. We had the ultimate in girls date as we got deep into personal practice, dharma, and overcoming obstacles!! Enjoy!!

Yes!!! These yummy two chakras!! Now, the Sixth Chakra is all about our ability to perceive, to have “right seeing.” And often we think when we lack wisdom or clarity that we need to KNOW. This week, we discuss that true wisdom is embracing that Beginner’s Mind, where we can stay curious to all the things we do not know and stay in total curiosity of what Life is offering us. In the Seventh Chakra, our Crown Chakra, we find our connection to the Divine or Higher Power. This week, we also talk about how we can see the Divine in EVERYTHING. We don’t need to go to a mountain top, an ashram, or a church, to commune with our Spirituality, because it is everywhere and in everything.

Express yourself!!! It’s not just a Madonna song!! It’s also all about the Throat Chakra. This week we are talking about letting what is inside you out into the world. It’s releasing — giving — the truth of who you are. This requires a certain amount of self-inquiry and inner exploration. It’s time to dive inside and hear the Voice that is always broadcasting and bring THAT into the world!!!

In this podcast, recorded on Valentine’s Day with our dear love John Davisi, we dive into the Third and Fourth Chakras! The Third Chakra is all about confidence, will, and power, and the Fourth Chakra is the energy center of the heart. Usually, we don’t think of these parts of our lives as connected — sometimes Power feels very different than Love, but they are actually incredibly linked. Listen as we discuss how to align with your true internal Power, and how to use Self-Love to grow and nurture your heart (which, in turn, increases your Confidence!!).

Guess what time it is, Friends? It’s time to get sexy with the Second Chakra! This week we continue in our series “Jumpstart Your New Year” and we talk about how moving forward requires going in FIRST. In the Second Chakra, we look at our Dharma and Purpose in the world, and we turn the convo on its head by talking about fun, naughtiness, and rebellion! That’s right! So many of us our busy following all the rules that we’ve actually hidden our true Dharma from ourselves!! The break-through we are searching for is often on the other side of breaking convention.

We all have a deep desire to feel our lives on purpose and moving forward. In our “Jumpstart Your New Year” Series we decided to look at the metaphor of the wheel, which is all about leverage. Wheels tell us that if we want to move forward, our energy must go IN first. For this series, we are going to look at our internal wheels — our spinning energy vortexes called Chakras. Over the next weeks, we will be looking at each of these Chakras and what they want to tell us about how to truly move forward and create the life we desire.

When it comes to grief, it seems that we — as a culture — were never given tools on how to process it. In fact, when big heavy emotions come up, many of us were taught growing up to push them away. How many of us were taught how to honor the wisdom of the body? And to have great love and compassion for ourselves? This week we talk about the BIG STUFF, the BIG EMOTIONS, and how embracing those processes can actually point us to a bigger life, and bigger sense of ourselves.

Friends and Lovers!! We had a question recently about what to do when you go from "super energized/excited/engaged” to "tired/kind of mopey/wants to vacate” around your dreams and projects. And oh, did we have a good time talking about THIS ONE!! Many of us go through ebbs and flows with our passion projects, our creativity, our spiritual life, our romantic partners — here’s how you can keep the fires stoked in ALL WAYS. EVERYDAY.

Hey there, 2018!!! Looking good! We are glad to see you too. You couldn’t have come at a better time… In this podcast, we talk about the year that came before, the lessons that it brought, and the gifts it gave. We recap what were some of the most valuable “take aways” from 2017, and how those can help us to LEVEL UP in our art, career, spiritual connection and relationships in this next year. Thank you 2017!!! And here’s looking at you, 2018!!! WE ARE READY FOR YOUR MAGNITUDE!!!

Isn’t it fun to RECEIVE presents?! Isn’t fun to GIVE presents too? But isn’t it interesting when we look at the world, a relationship, or even our Art or Careers and we feel it’s NOT giving us something? How resentful we can be when we feel like someone or something (even the Universe!) is withholding. In this podcast, we talk about “transactionalism” — when we find ourselves giving, only to get! And how applying conditions to our giving actually KEEPS us from being willing to receive. We also go deeper into WHY this happens, and what we can do in our OWN life to tap our Infinite well of Gifts within in. There is a flow in Life of giving and receiving that never runs out, and we can access it whenever we want!!

Tis the Holiday Season! And while trimming the tree and decking the halls, we got to talking about Faith. How FAITH is more then just wishing and hoping… It’s ACTIVE. Faith is a communication, and true faith leads us into action. And while many people feel like they need to “see it to believe it,” we will dive into who the real SEER is.

It’s a Game, friends!! It’s a BIG OL' FUN GAME!! Life is in conversation with us. It wants to play with us. It wants us to go on an adventure with it!! And it wants us to know us to know a secret about the Game… we ALREADY have it all. It’s all in us. Learn to PLAY in a whole to new way.

We are so excited to introduce you to our OTHER half! This is John — our soul brother, travel buddy, best friend and a bad ass spiritual giant.

Have you ever felt that Life is like a Roller Coaster? Like you can only get so high, before you come down again? Well, what if there was a way to go up….and then keep going up? And what if you didn’t have to take yourself on the same up-and-down wild ride that you have been on? What if you could go from Good to Great to even Greater? Join Natalie and Kristin this week as they talk about why the lows come and tools to let more Happiness come through us like never before!!
