Episodes

  1. Tapas – The Fires of Transformation

    What happens when life turns up the heat? Do we crumble under the pressure, or do we lean in and let the fire forge us into something stronger, brighter, and more resilient? In this episode, we explore the Yogic Niyama of Tapas, which invites us to embrace the challenges, adversity, and...

  2. The Serpent + Your Lens: Update Your Perceptions to Change Your Reality

    If perception is reality, and if we want reality to be different, what happens if we don’t update our perceptions? Join me in this deep conversation around our internal filters and mindsets, brief Yogic History, what we make things mean, and how our own unconscious filters can hold us back from...

  3. The Gap Between Intention and Impact

    What is the difference between your Intention and your Impact, and WHY does it matter? Explore what closing the gap between these two would mean for us in terms of our trauma, pain, hurts, and the way our insides always manage to end up on the outside. We will examine this through the lens of...

  4. Santosha: Find Your Peace and Contentment

    Santosha is the second Yogic Niyama that encourages us come back to peace and contentment every day, even and especially when it doesn’t make logical sense to do so. In a world that is fraught with problems, how do we carve out time and space for authentic contentment? In This Episode We Dive…

  5. Saucha: Your Personal Brand of Authenticity

    Saucha is the first Yogic Niyama that encourages us to be clean and pure, but not in the ways that you might think. We have to untangle some of our assumptions before we can get to the heart of what this concept is really asking of us. WHO ARE YOU? Who are you, REALLY? Are you being the person…

  6. Aparigraha: The Energy of Allowing

    The Yogic Yama of Aparigraha asks us to witness the places inside of ourselves where we tend to force, control, grip, and cling. How much energy are you expelling (wasting) in your attempt to control yourself, those around you, and Life in general? What would it take for you to LET GO? What would...

  7. Brahmacharya: Walk With God

    It’s been a while since I recorded a podcast. My partner and I were in a car accident in April, and I have been unavailable for anything “extra,” like sending out newsletters and recording podcasts. Ironically enough, it was the practice of Brahmacharya, or the “right use of energy,” that has...

  8. Asteya: Stealing From Ourselves

    I loved recording this Podcast; I felt like I was preaching at church!!! This is a powerful conversation about how Yoga comes alive OFF the mat. We delve into our inner worlds and our unconscious tendencies to want what we don’t have, and we explore how that tendency plays out in the dynamics of...

  9. Re-Wire Your Nervous System

    Whatever we are holding on the inside, will inevitably always make its way to the outside. So, if you want to create a different life on the outside, you must examine the inner workings of your internal ecosystem. Re-wiring your nervous system from the inside-out allows you to take the wounds of...

  10. Top-Down + Bottom-Up Healing

    In the world of healing and transformation, there are two primary approaches to growth: Top-Down, where the changes in the brain facilitate changes in lived experience, and Bottom-Up, where healing brought somatically to the body can influence experience and mindset. When we find ways to...

  11. Satya: Truthfulness in Action

    Yoga is meant to be so much more than a physical practice that we DO…It is designed to infiltrate every area of our lives so that it is who we BECOME. Yoga Philosophy gives us the tools to live our Yoga off the mat and in the everyday workings of the world, and the Yama of Satya encourages us to...

  12. Ahimsa: Be Kind to Yourself

    Yoga Philosophy gives us the tools to live our Yoga off the mat and in the everyday workings of the world. The Yama of Ahimsa encourages us to reduce the harm we create when we interface with other beings, the earth, as well as ourselves. This conversation highlights the hidden and unconscious…

  13. Dry January: Go Deeper

    Dry January is a stretch of 31 days that allows people to begin the New Year with a clean slate, free of a hungover body and a cloudy mind. Unfortunately, most people don’t make it the full month. What is there to learn through the experiment of cleansing your mind, body, heart, and spirit from…

  14. You Are Limitless: Sahasrara

    The Crown Chakra is a portal that connects us to the Divine, the Source of all things, the Mystery beyond all naming. This energy reminds us that while we are fully human, we are also fully spiritual, transcendent, and limitless. What are the barriers inside of you that prevent you from...

  15. Perception is Everything: Ajna

    The Third Eye Chakra gives us access to our own inner wisdom; the intuitive voice that belongs to you and only you. The problem with accessing this voice is that our minds have become so habitually overactive and dominant, that we don’t know how to access our own inner voice, and we are so...

  16. Purify Your Essence: Vishuddha

    The Throat Chakra is about taking whatever is happening on the inside of you and communicating it to the outside of you. So, we have to see the relationship between our inner worlds and how that energy is interfacing with the outer world. The Throat Chakra asks you to purify your inner experience...

  17. Anahata: Living Life Unstruck

    The Heart Chakra is about Love, but it is also about SO MUCH MORE. Oftentimes, what we are experiencing inside of the heart space, is actually coming from somewhere else. In order to heal our hearts, we must look at our whole selves in context. And the impact of the heart is way more powerful…

  18. Stoke Your Inner Flame: Manipura

    Tapping into the Solar Plexus Chakra inside of your belly can give you access to your personal power and agency, and it can also show you what is preventing you from living in all of your fullness. In this conversation we delve into the attributes of this energy center so that you can WAKE UP to...

  19. Nourish Your Life: Svadhisthana

    How vital do you feel inside of your body and your life? How ALIVE are you??? The Sacral Chakra/Svadhisthana holds the essence and the source of our vitality, and therefore we must protect and nourish it at all costs. But many of us have a history of pain, struggle, and disappointment in this...

  20. The ROOT of the Matter: Muladhara

    A sense of security, safety, and a full-bodied belief that you have access to the life that you have been called to can be yours…These are all deep qualities of Muladahara, the Root Chakra. In this exploration, you will gain insight and access into how you might apply this rooting, grounding,...

  21. Welcome to the World of Life Coaching

    Sometimes I have to remember to pause and describe to people what it is that I truly do. Have you been curious about Life Coaching??? This episode is a window into my heart, into my processes, and into the brilliance that awaits you when you sign up to coach with me. Thank you for being here. We...

  22. Breath: Evolution + Ecology

    Our evolution as individuals and as the Human Race as a whole are so beautiful and essential to us and the whole World. But when we view our evolution as separate from the ecology of the whole, is it really so beautiful and great? This podcast is inspired by James Nestor’s book Breath, and it...

  23. Right/Wrong/Good/Bad = Suffering

    We get soooooo caught up in our notions of right and wrong, of good and bad, sometimes to the degree where our rules about life just feel like TRUTH. But what if these rules are the main source of our suffering??? The Yoga tells us that they are… We Dive into: · Why getting it RIGHT can be...

  24. Joy: Create a NEW Samskara

    We all desire more happiness and joy in our lives, right? Then why is joy the most difficult emotion for most of us to access??? It’s because other habituated emotions are standing in the way. We Dive into: · The cycle between your thoughts and feelings = your experience of life · The Yogic…

  25. Digest Life Like a Peacock

    Most of us know the Peacock as a brilliantly beautiful bird, opening its royal plumage and beauty in all its glory. But what most of us don’t know, is that the peacock creates its outer beauty by effectively metabolizing poisons and toxicity, which comprise a large portion of its diet. This…

  26. On Motherhood, Legacy, and Death

    Motherhood. Legacy. Death. How does it all intersect? What if you’re not a mother to physical children in this lifetime? In this podcast we discuss how to tap into the ESSENCE of motherhood through the concept of GENERATIVITY, in a way that inspires us to be the WHO today that will lead us to the...

  27. The Value of Slowing Down

    Slowing down, creating empty space, and allowing for “nothingness” are foreign concepts in our modern western society. We have been conditioned to believe that our productivity IS our value, and because of that we operate with a “more is always more” approach to life. Not only is this harming us…

    more
  28. Change Your Emotions, Change Your Story

    We become fixated on transforming our outer world, but what we don’t realize is that our inner experience of the world is helping to create our outer experience. It’s a loop. A self-fulfilling prophecy. When you alter the way you habitually experience your inner world, you have the power to…

    more
  29. Creating Generational Change

    I was raised on the belief that each generation is called to build upon the previous generations and to do “better” with your life than those that went before you. But HOW, exactly, do we do that? So many people are prone to black-and-white thinking, where we either take ALL of what our…

    more
  30. The Wisdom of the Body

    We live in a world that prizes the logical mind above all else, but what about the wisdom of all of the many parts of us that live below the neck??? We always talk about the mind-body connection, but what does it mean to put that connection into practice? In this podcast we will discuss our...

  31. Hitting Rock Bottom: Don't

    So many people delay their transformation, especially in active addiction, until they “hit rock bottom.” This is a dangerous cycle and mindset that lives in our bodies, minds, and our culture as a whole. It requires that something awful must happen in order for something beautiful to be possible....

  32. Life + Business: It's All Yoga

    The E-Myth by Michael E. Gerber teaches entrepreneurs to delve deeply into the inner-workings of their businesses, as well as into the inner-workings of their lives. Reading The E-Myth inspired Kacey to understand more fully that life, just like yoga, is truly a practice. And when we look at life...

  33. Aparigraha: Letting Go

    What does it feel like to be you, these days? Life is big and heavy for a lot of folks right now. How do you move forward and create the life you desire, when all this heaviness is in the way? The first step to creating positive transformation is bringing awareness to and letting go of whatever…

  34. Using Negative Emotion to Fuel a Positive Result

    Each of us has different strategies for getting our needs met and moving through life. Often times, these strategies are so deeply entrenched that we don’t even know we’re doing them. We are unconscious to these patterns. In this podcast, we discuss our human tendency to use negative/unwanted...

  35. Self-Love as THE Way of Being

    What if I told you that how you FEEL inside of yourself most of the time is the KEY INGREDIENT to getting where you're going? You take your inner-state with you everywhere you go, why not make it a loving one? We dive into: • Why we need self-love • What self-love looks like in Kacey's life • The...

  36. Braiding Sweetgrass: Exploration and Application

    Robin Wall Kimmerer's book Braiding Sweetgrass is a beautiful intersection between science and nature, and shows us what is possible for us when we move in relationship to nature rather than an executor of it. This book touched Kacey deeply, and in this episode she explores some of the tangibles...

  37. Nervous System Flexibility: the Heart of Everything

    Your Nervous System, and specifically your Nervous System’s response to STRESS, is at the center of everything in your life. Every. Single. Thing.

    more
  38. Appreciation as a Gateway to Gratitude

    Everyone says that gratitude is the key to manifesting the life of your dreams, right??? But what happens if you can’t authentically GET to the GRATITUDE??? In this podcast, we discuss the process of honoring emotions so that we can get to gratitude. We dive into: • Spiritual Bypassing and Toxic...

  39. Become Your Truest Self

    If we’re all here to live our best lives and express who we are out in the world, then why can that be so challenging and even counter-intuitive? Why is it so hard to be my fullest, realest, most-true Self? We all desire to be self-actualized, and yet we are wound by layers and layers of...

  40. Untying Knots: Opening Your Heart

    Everyone wants to live a wholehearted and openhearted, life, right? So, why don’t we? What gets in the way? What makes it challenging for us to be vulnerable and open ourselves? And in today’s world, why would even want to? In this inaugural podcast, we discuss the nature of the heart, and how…

    more
  41. Pratyahara: the SKILL of going INWARD

    We honor the ancient sacred practice of Yoga by allowing it to become part of who we ARE, rather than simply something that we DO. And we allow the Yoga to become part of who we ARE, by learning to live yoga all throughout the workings of our lives. The practice is not isolated to rubber mats and...

  42. The Wisdom of the Seasons

    We trust Mother Nature to ebb and flow, yet we choose to push ourselves through year-round regardless of what’s happening around us. What is the cost of this? We have forgotten about the Laws of Nature. Whatever is possible in Nature, is possible for each of us as well, as we are deeply a part of...

  43. Releasing the Burden of Over-Responsibilty

    Sometimes the burdens of life can accumulate to become so heavy…unbearable at times. What if things become so heavy because we’re carrying burdens that don’t belong to us, we just can’t see that they aren’t ours once we’re carrying them? In this podcast, we discuss the process by which our…
