63. Lexi's First Experience With Ayahuasca
WOW. What a journey the last couple of months have been as I prepared for my first experience with the sacred plant medicine making it's way around the world, Ayahuasca.
I'm going to be honest (& if you'd like a deeper reflection of this listen to the full episode) when I first decided to explore myself deeper through the healing power of Aya, I thought this would be a one time journey. And I was wrong.
This is just the beginning of my journey with this powerful plant medicine & I'm really honored to be able to share it with you.
I just want to reflect that everything I share about in this episode is solely my experience & my perspective.
If you're thinking about exploring plant medicine my biggest piece of advice would be to work with a trusted therapist, psychedelic integration or prep provider &/or mental wellness professional before diving in.
xoxo Lexi

62. Fulfilling Your Soul's Purpose with Emily DeBouver
Happy Sunday babes and welcome back to Wellness For The Hot Mess podcast!
It's been a few weeks so let's catch up! Kristin moved BACK to Chicago, Lexi has been frolicking around the Big Island, and Kristin's obsession with VPR has become REAL!
We also have a special interview with one of the most amazing women. Today we are sitting down with the queen of spiritual transformations, Emily DeBouver. Emily is a women’s life & relationship coach. She is a certified somatic healer who guides women through releasing energy in their bodies and lives that keeps them stuck, leaving them with the tools to consciously create a life and relationship that feels fulfilling on a soul level.
Before Emily found her purpose working as a coach, she had juggled all sorts of jobs desperately trying to find fulfillment. From teaching group fitness, to dancing at clubs and working in bottle service, all the way to working in real estate, before deciding one day to leave everything she had ever known behind and grab a one way ticket to Bali.
Emily's story of transformation and self discovery is so powerful and inspiring and we can't wait for you to listen.
As always, be sure to stay until the end to hear Emily's Hot Mess Moment!
xoxo Kristin & Lexi

Kate has grown funk it to a 6 figure business in less than 2 years and has educated thousands of women on the importance of menstrual health all while creating a truly nutritionally sound product. Kate’s mission is to empower all menstruators to have autonomy over their bodies and learn to make peace with food and their cycles.

Rather, I wanted to share my story and where I am at in life in hopes of reaching someone who may need to hear that they are not alone in their similar struggles.

On this episode we discuss imposter syndrome; what we look for when the feeling shows up, and how old paths to navigate these nuances change as we grow. Transformation takes time, right?

31. Lexi SOLO Episode Part 1- Trauma Awareness
Notes From Lexi - DIVE IN & ENJOY!
I didn’t know why I was being called to do what I was doing (like most run ins with our intuition ) but now I’m seeing it loud and clear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
healing the trauma in my body- is allowing me to have a potent & experiential impact in the lives of my community 💊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like many, & an unfortunate statistic.. I was in an abusive relationship when I was just 14 years old..
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Leaving me completely disassociated from my body, mind, & my nervous systems ‘window of tolerance’ unhealthy & all over the place.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I didn’t choose to teach nervous system regulation & become a trauma informed practitioner because of that- but just recently I’ve had a light bulb moment as to why I’ve been so attracted to the physiology of healing.
Tune in for a short but sweet conversation around intuition, healing the body first, & the importance of finding a practitioner that understands YOUR healing is YOUR healing. The same formula will NOT work for everyone.
30. No Shame in the Elevation Game
On this episode we talk about the importance of clearing your space- mentally, physically, and emotionally so that the things you desire have a clear path towards your field! If there is anything you can relate to I'm sure that it's feeling shame for wanting the finer things in life, because our generation was programmed to be 'ok' with just enough. You are worthy of enough and beyond!

8. Whole foods..and no, not like the store
The number one question Kristin gets from people is about her diet, and what she recommends to others trying to lose weight and/or eat healthier. Well the answer may surprise you because this diet swap doesn't involve calorie counting, keto bullshit, or nasty protein shakes. Let's take it back to the era of the cave men y'all (aka this is really plain and simple)!
7. 26
Are those eye bags and wrinkles?! Do I smell a loss of health insurance coming?! Sheeeesh she's getting OLD!! Another trip around the sun for Kristin, 26 years in the dang book.
Tune in to hear the 26 things Kristin has learned in 26 years of life. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll feel seen (probably a little too seen), you might not agree with a single thing she says, or maybe this will be your come to Jesus moment. Regardless of how depressing getting older may seem, late 20s feels similar to a fine wine, better with age baby ;)
Happy bday kdog, proud of you for getting through one shit storm of a year!!
