Ep. 229 Emergency Ascension

In this episode, a deep-sea emergency ascent becomes a spiritual lesson on how to rise through life’s most uncomfortable seasons. Instead of rushing out of pain, we’re invited to open our hearts, trust the process, and move slowly through it. In that surrender, we reconnect with ourselves, our lineage, and the quiet support that carries us toward transformation.  Resources:Natalie’s website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Kristin’s website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Kristin’s Storyspace: https://mailchi.mp/c44be6a5d0db/nzgypij34tKristin’s 1:1 services: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ip6D43T08A1MREPU5fZ7xlnsuLfMep-F/view?usp=sharingSong:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

This week we explore the balance between pushing ourselves to achieve and recognizing when it's time to prioritize our well-being. We also dive into the importance of giving love to all parts of ourselves – especially the parts that feel the most challenging.We also talk about the process of creation, the high expectations we set for ourselves, and the importance of reconnecting with the joy and love that originally inspired our work.

This week's episode explores the power of community, connection, and coming together to uplift one another. We discuss how much more is possible when we remember we aren't isolated, and Natalie shares a profound story about a recent time she felt held and protected by a greater whole. We dive into how to create communities grounded in empathy, vulnerability, and mutual understanding. Whether within our relationships, collaborations, or society at large, we explore strategies for holding space for each other's feelings, working through struggles collectively, and increasing our capacity to both give and receive support. When we open ourselves to receiving from others and tap into the truth that we're all inextricably linked, we amplify our ability to create solutions, thrive, and rise together.Resources:Natalie’s website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Kristin’s website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Kristin’s Storyspace: https://mailchi.mp/c44be6a5d0db/nzgypij34tKristin’s 1:1 services: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ip6D43T08A1MREPU5fZ7xlnsuLfMep-F/view?usp=sharingSong:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

This week we explore boundaries and living your most intentional life. We talk about how, when we don't set clear boundaries, we're really doing a disservice to ourselves and to the people we care about. We also discuss how we sometimes get in our own way and keep ourselves stuck because that makes us feel like we're in charge – instead of taking a leap of faith to follow our vision. This is what we came here for: the process of expansion. Resources:The leading lady blueprint: Email Natalie at [email protected] (Iowa): https://mirrorboxtheatre.com/wgbty/Accidentally Brave Screening (NY): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/accidentally-brave-movie-special-screening-tickets-859130511487?aff=oddtdtcreatorLive GSMT Event at the Drama Book Shop: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/god-sex-and-musical-theatre-with-kristin-hanggi-tickets-853704692717?aff=oddtdtcreatorThe Epilepsy Walk at the Rose Bowl: https://epilepsylosangeles.org/elfa-event/epilepsy-walk-los-angeles/Or email Kristin for any of the events she will be participating in: [email protected]’s website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Kristin’s website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Kristin’s Storyspace: https://mailchi.mp/c44be6a5d0db/nzgypij34tKristin’s 1:1 services: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ip6D43T08A1MREPU5fZ7xlnsuLfMep-F/view?usp=sharingSong:Tell Me by Andy Gammon
