Ep. 227 The Ripple Begins With You

In this episode, Kristin and Natalie celebrate the sacred joy of birthdays, creative play, and the ripple effect of living in alignment. What begins as a reflection on a magical celebration becomes a conversation about reclaiming personal power, honoring your gifts, and choosing to be a vessel for transformation. They explore how even the smallest acts of presence create lasting change, why we must self-initiate the ripple, and how living your soul’s standard becomes an act of quiet revolutionResources: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

The Safest Place I’ve Ever Been Is in the Heart of the Pain: In this episode, Kristin and Natalie explore the sacred alchemy of pain—not as something to escape, but as something that can liberate us. From personal stories of heartbreak and transformation to the mystical wisdom of the body, they share how true healing begins when we stop trying to fix the pain and start listening to it. Together, they reflect on what it means to become the one who can hold it all, how to feel instead of flee, and why the path to peace might just lead straight through the fire.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

The Forgotten Podcast: Sometimes the universe hides things until we’re ready to find them. Buried deep in the archives, this early recording—made a few years ago—recently resurfaced like a message in a bottle, and wow… it spoke right to the soul. In this episode, we explore the timeless journey of remembering who you truly are, how the soul reveals itself through the unfolding of life, and what it means to live in alignment with your truest self. It’s tender. It’s true. And it’s exactly the conversation we needed—then and now. Join Natalie and me as we dive into this sacred remembering.Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to center your life around what matters most, the bravery it takes to ask for what you truly want, and how to make space for joy and rest—even when life feels messy and overwhelming.We talk about the stories we tell ourselves about success, let go of the myth of “doing it all,” and explore how taking care of ourselves is deeply connected to showing up for others.

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. It’s important to check in with ourselves and ask, "Am I enjoying this process?" and to continually seek out the love and joy that motivate us.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'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
