  • Is Life Better Abroad? An Insider Scoop on Expat Life (Visas, Culture Shock and Money)

    Is Life Better Abroad? An Insider Scoop on Expat Life (Visas, Culture Shock and Money)
    Nov 21 2024
    256: “I was ready to see a new way of life... there are other countries where I could be happy and experience a similar, if not greater, quality of life than I had.” - Chelsea Riffe For those of you curious about living abroad, I’m sharing today what it truly takes to live overseas, from lessons, logistics, emotional whiplash to rewarding transformations that come with expat life. **Snippets** from the episode: “Leaving the U.S. was about finding a different rhythm of life, testing out if a new culture could offer more fulfillment.""Moving abroad isn’t always easy; you’re adjusting to new norms, letting go of familiar conveniences, and learning to live without the constant hustle.""If you don't speak the language, treat it like a business challenge—take a class, hire a tutor, and immerse yourself as much as possible.""Building relationships with local landlords or AirBnB hosts can go a long way in securing affordable, longer-term stays.""Think of yourself as a visitor with a purpose—whether you're in South America, Europe, or Africa, respect the culture and adapt instead of expecting it to change for you." Wherever you go, go with an open mind and an adventurous heart. Taking the leap to live abroad isn’t just about escaping routine. Life abroad can be a beautiful transformation if you're willing to let go and embrace the journey (and Americans, there are other places to live!)

  • Body Slamming Life with Amanda Norgaard

    Body Slamming Life with Amanda Norgaard
    Nov 14 2024
    255: “But colliding shores with something beyond the self is a relief. And it's made me a lot freer in my expression, in the way I move through life, the way I show up, the way I do the work that I do because if everything is about how I come across and who's going to perceive the work in this way and it's a constant measure of the self and that's exhausting and we're missing the point.” - Amanda Norgaard For free spirits craving authenticity and creative expression, this episode with Amanda—a Kundalini Yoga teacher, writer, poet, and Creative Mentor who defies convention—is for you. Dive in as she unpacks her journey of breaking free from rigid spiritual norms, embracing her true self, and building a soulful business on her own terms. **Snippets** from the episode "I think Kundalini energy calls to us in ways we can't ignore. It’s not just a practice; it's a mirror, showing us parts of ourselves we may have suppressed or avoided.""It’s not about what I wear or following some spiritual uniform. Kundalini, to me, is about being true to myself, even if that means jeans and a t-shirt.""Community isn’t about us all thinking or looking the same; it’s about creating a space where every color, every uniqueness, is welcome to show up.""This journey taught me to make my life the ritual – to integrate spirituality into every moment, not just when I'm on the mat or in meditation.""I don't have a roadmap for my business; I simply follow what feels alive in me. Sometimes that means stepping back, recalibrating, and listening deeply to what comes next." If you’re drawn to the idea of blending authenticity with spiritual exploration, redefining community, and embracing every facet of your journey unapologetically, Amanda’s insights offer an inspiring lens on living a life that’s deeply rooted in personal truth and raw self-expression. It’s intense, real, and deep as the bottom floor of the ocean - and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

  • Naughty Art, Navigating Relationships as a Public Figure, and Closing the Orgasm Gap with Jessica Stahl aka Vanilla Cool Dance

    Naughty Art, Navigating Relationships as a Public Figure, and Closing the Orgasm Gap with Jessica Stahl aka Vanilla Cool Dance
    Oct 31 2024

    254: "I started the account originally as my, indeed, like diary and doodles, and I would turn my situation, which at the time felt quite embarrassing and cringy, if you will, into a more humorous, self-deprecating cartoon." - Jessica Stahl aka vanillacooldance


    From creating personal doodles to becoming a sex-positive artist and advocate in Amsterdam - tune in to listen to Jessica Stahl, also known as Vanilla Cool Dance, share her POV on censorship, talking about sexuality online, the orgasm gap and dating while running VCD.


    **Snippets** from the episode:

    • "My mom got me my first vibrator when she found out that I was having sex and she encouraged me to explore my own pleasure."
    • "The orgasm gap is the basically the pleasure gap between let's say cis men and cis women. And it's essentially… there's about a 30% difference in reliably orgasming with a partner."
    • "So the artwork was of…a king going down on a queen. And it said, a true king always knows who comes first. And I put this throughout the whole city and I absolutely loved it because to me, it's really that getting that instant feedback and starting those conversations on the street was one of the most amazing things that I've experienced."
    • "Now that I've started my newsletter, which is a bit more intimate and personal, I have fears a little bit of how will this affect my dating life because it is a bit more vulnerable when it's not just in cartoon form."
