IN THE UNKNOWN with Alyonka
by Alyonka Larionov
Hosted by Alyonka Larionov, the IN THE UNKNOWN Podcast is a series of intimate, unfiltered conversations sourcing only the Intuition without prior research or internet and social media browsing. After ten years working as a host, broadcaster, and producer in the male-dominated TV + Media Industry, Alyonka Larionov woke up to a shell of her former self. Steeped in her belief of not being good enough vis a vis her personal and public traumas, her workaholic tendencies acted as crutch to avoid her emotional growth, and left her unbalanced in all aspects of her life. She was stripped of her family + friends, her femininity, her authenticity and her voice. In April 2017, after nearly a decade battling Anorexia Nervosa, Alyonka stepped into Recovery and embarked on a journey of self-discovery, personal healing, and a yearning to better understand the human condition. She was determined to step into her Being and began building her foundation from within by Facing her Fears in the space of Th

33. TOM LUCY | on Vulnerability in life & on stage, the 10,000-hour rule, & Kevin Hart’s party
Tom Lucy is the kind of guy one finds impossible to dislike. He’s kind, charming, FUNNY, engaging, and has two first names. He has a solid group of friends, a loving family, and has a good head on his shoulders. He’s career-oriented. A thinker. Driven. He’s 23. The first time we met, we began our...

Igor is my brother. He is a professional athlete. An ice hockey player to be exact. He is 21 years old and currently finds himself in a stage of change and transition. Except, unlike most of us (myself included), Igor is prepared for the Unknown. In fact, he’s excited for it, seeing it as an...

30. ELLEN RUTT | On Making Intuitive Art, Going into the Woods + Our Inner Critics
Let me start by saying: I love this being. She as an individual. She as an artist. She as a soul. She as a friend. Although, as you’ll hear in the pod, our meetings in-person can be counted on one hand. That’s because when we’re connected with our intuition, it’s that much easier to spot a fellow...

29. ANDREW KIPPEN | On Hypnotherapy, the Subconscious, Social Constructs, + Energetic Beings
Andrew Kippen came into my life at just the opportune moment in time. I was in the middle of my New York stint in the summer of 2018, trying to figure out why all things that were easy in the past suddenly felt like a mountain I was never going to climb. The keyword you should be paying attention...

28. LAUREN HARKNESS | On Sexuality in Modern Times, Communicating Intimacy, + Controversy of #MeToo
HERE's the known. I first encountered Lauren Harkness at a beautiful space in Brooklyn, New York while in attendance for a Conscious Sexuality Workshop produced by the Goddess Institute. On brand with my personal workshops - IN THE UNKNOWN - I had no idea what to expect. I arrived open and…

27. DAN DOTY | On EQ, Finding Oneself + One’s Purpose, the Physics of Human Connection + Building EVRYMAN
This connection is another one of those timing is everything and patience is a virtue. I first heard of Dan Doty indirectly via (once again) Jesse Israel, when mentioning a men’s retreat he’d attended called EVRYMAN. At first, I was connected to it’s co-founder, Sascha Lewis, with whom I met in...
-
26. SHAUNDA BROWN | On Conscious Sexuality, Spiritual Partners, Breaking Inner Blocks + Goddess Institute
HERE'S THE KNOWN. I was introduced to Shaunda Brown via email by Jesse Israel. He suggested we meet, record a podcast, or at the very least attend each other’s workshops. Somewhere within the message, there was probably a hidden (intentional) current for friendship but it did not need to be said....

25. PAULA MALLIS | On Self-Love, Women as Birthers, Pregnancy Truths, Feminism + WMN SPACE
Like a true Woman, Mother and Birther, in a strange way, Paula birthed + mothered me into the Woman that I am today, She provided just enough wisdom, trust and a push forward (without helicoptering, micro-managing or reeling me back in for a check-in) to set the stage for my personal and...

A | On Staying in the Discomfort, Trusting the Process + In The Unknown | #1
Many of you send me dm's, emails + texts asking in depth questions about IN THE UNKNOWN and most of the things that I write about on my blog and instagram. I am always happy to answer, however, sometimes it becomes overwhelming because I simply do not have enough time to get to everyone. So, what...

24. TIM HOLDRIDGE | On Religion, Anxiety, Fear + Receiving Love
First and foremost, Tim is a friend. I'll be honest - as I usually am - I was skeptical at first. Of the religion part of him. Of the Church part of him. Of him acting as a Pastor. Especially in the way people gravitated towards him. In my opinion, and in the experience that I've had growing up…

23. ERIC NYSTROM | On the NHL, Masculinity + the Power of Positive Thinking
I pride myself in having a good judge of character. I can suss out someone's authenticity and genuine, sincere nature immediately, and ulterior motives even quicker. It's part of the fight-or-flight nature Eric talks about in the podcast. Some of us have it fine-tuned better than others. The…

22. RYAN RUOCCO | ESPN + YES Network Broadcaster, Play-by-Play Man + Podcaster
Can I use a great Star Wars quote i love ? ‘The stronger you tighten your grip, the more star systems slip through your fingers.’ I love that. The more you try and control, the less you control. That’s an analogy I try to come back to and I have to remind myself of all the time.

21. KACEE MUST | Founder of Citizen Yoga, Business Woman + Yoga Teacher
Kacee is the Founder of Citizen Yoga. She is an entrepreneur. A business woman. A Yoga Teacher. A student of Philosophy. Those are some of her labels. She's also been labeled skinny, intimidating, honest, and sensitive (too sensitive). However, like most of the people on the TELL YOUR STORY Pod,...

20. DECLAN MICHAEL LAIRD | Actor + Mental Health Advocate
Declan's an interesting character. In that, he's an actor, so by default he's a character. He can switch in and out of accents. He plays different roles. Different careers. Different, well, characters. “Growing up I always loved movies - loved movies. I saw them as an escape, probably because…

19. MADDIE FLANIGAN | On Loss + Grief, Building a Business + Failure as a Must
It's the very exact flaw Maddie carries which made me feel seen when I needed it most. "Too open with people at first. Be careful with who you let in." It's that, right there, which saved me. I had just moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I was in 7th grade. I knew no one in the state. No one in…

18. JULIE STEWART-BINKS | TV and Radio Host, Sports Reporter + Feminist
How do I say this? Julie is not your typical girl. Or maybe she is. I'm not sure. But there is certainly a perceived perception of her, and then there's the Truth. The real Julie. The one who's willing to show up as herself with flaws, mistakes, and lessons-learned without recoiling back into the...

17. LEAH VERNON | Model, Speaker, Writer, Muslim Feminist + Body-Positive Activist
Sometimes, life brings in people when you least expect them and they become the exact person that you need most. That is Leah V for me. We met at a diner in Detroit. Rose's Fine Food. I grabbed us a table. It was in the early stages of my Recovery from my Eating Disorder and so I sat nervously...

16. JESSE ISRAEL | On Mental Health, Meditation + the Power of Community
Our conversation begins a couple years back during an intimate dinner of friends (his, not mine) where we found ourselves sitting together, discussing his future and what it would look like. Nearing his 30's, for a person watching from afar, it seemed to me that Jesse, like his group of friends,...

14. JOHN KIM aka The Angry Therapist | Licensed Therapist, Life Coach, Author + Co-Founder of Shft
How to describe The Angry Therapist? If you're wondering...he's not angry. At least not anymore. When he started his tumblr blog, it was a time in his life where post-divorce left him grappling with all the things he no longer knew, understood, or could control. Who am I as a man? And what am I...

12. ALICIA MALONE | Film Reporter, Host, Writer + Self-Confessed Movie Geek
Alicia Malone is an Australian-born, LA-based Film Reporter, Host, Writer and Self-Confessed Movie Geek. She, like me, used movies as a portal to step out of the realities of the world. She, like me, does not understand when someone utters the words, "i don't really watch movies". "For me film...

6. ALLY LOVE | Founder of Love Squad + Brooklyn Nets Host
I remember vividly the day I met Ally Love. I was walking out of my position as in-arena host for the Brooklyn Nets, and she was walking in. We exchanged a few quick words but not much more than that. As you'll hear in this conversation: there are always two sides to every story. What I didn't…

Growing up on the East Coast with a highly achieving older brother, Dana Maloney never felt good enough. “Oh that’s Dana, his sister - not as smart. That crippled (me) and I think it contributed to the migraines. I didn’t feel good enough and that became ingrained in my belief system.” She was...

3. RICKI FRIEDMAN | Founder of Break The Weight + Motivational Health Coach
I first met Ricki around 2006.. We were both visiting friends at Michigan State University. The first thing I noticed about Ricki was that she was beautiful. In my mind, it seemed Ricki had her shit together. She had this sexy raspy voice. She was opinionated and seemingly unapologetically…
