Ep. 230 The New Way of Creating: Bye, Bye Hustle!    In this episode, Natalie and Kristin explore creating from flow. What if the “next level” isn’t about doing more, but becoming more available? On this episode we dive into surrender, intuition, and the unseen support guiding us as creators. What happens when we retire old ways of creating and begin making from joy, presence, and the deeper intelligence within?    Resources:  Natalie’s website: https://www.natalieroy.com Kristin’s website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com Song: Tell Me by Andy Gammon

In this episode, a deep-sea emergency ascent becomes a spiritual lesson on how to rise through life’s most uncomfortable seasons. Instead of rushing out of pain, we’re invited to open our hearts, trust the process, and move slowly through it. In that surrender, we reconnect with ourselves, our lineage, and the quiet support that carries us toward transformation.  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

In this episode, Kristin and Natalie take a soulful look at what it means to face fear, grief, and the unknown with compassion. They explore identity, self-love, and the quiet strength of not turning away from yourself. Natalie reflects on a powerful shift—realizing she didn’t need to abandon herself in moments of fear—which opened a new way of seeing herself and her life. Kristin speaks to the honor of showing up for oneself during life’s most tender and challenging seasons. They reflect on the healing power of female friendship, and the sacredness of slowing down, allowing, and feeling without rushing to fix or flee.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

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 is about finding your grounding, setting boundaries that feel right, and bringing the energy you want to create into the world.This conversation is an invitation to exhale, be present, and see what might want to unfold for you in the year ahead.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 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

In this episode, we delve into the importance of rest and how crucial it is to listen to our body's messages. During the winter season, it's time to reset and rejuvenate. By slowing down and finding stillness, we can attune to our inner voice and receive clear guidance. It's time to recharge!! 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

Do you feel it? How life is asking us all to step up? That our lessons are coming faster? And that the old way of doing things just won't work anymore? This week we talk about how to deal with the big challenges as they present themselves and the power of relaxation during this time of human evolution. We also discuss the wisdom that comes up through our emotional bodies and how we can open ourselves to process those emotions. Finally, we explore the multitude of assistance that is available to us as we learn how to expand into our multidimensional selves.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 are talking about expansion and self-love! We talk about how important it is to hold space for each other and for ourselves to be exactly who we are — in our raw primal humanness and our limitless divine nature. How do we learn to love all parts of ourselves, and see our so-called "flaws" as precious?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 are talking about how to find our own inner peace in a world that's upside down and filled with rage. We talk about taking responsibility for our own lives, no matter what the circumstance. We also discuss the need to create space and stillness -- in that space, we can hear the next right action in this present moment. Resources:Kristin’s website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Natalie’s website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

Today we are exploring our NEEDS. That our needs are there for a reason. They are divine communication. They are life asking for itself. We are talking about HOW to listen to our needs. How to take a stand for our needs. How to be the voice of our needs. The need teaches how to relate with others. It points us in the way that our life wants to grow. Resources:Florence retreat: https://mailchi.mp/ab648ebd8aa5/opfmiitopqFor more information about Italy, or to apply for the scholarship, you can also email Natalie at ‘[email protected]’ or Kristin at ‘[email protected]’Kristin’s website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Natalie’s website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

This week we are talking about ANGER! Yes! Anger! And how there is such value in expressing those emotions that we aren't always encouraged to explore. We talk about why it's important not to push feelings away and the wisdom that comes when we allow ourself to embody what is. We also talk about how to process disappointment and how getting our heart broken is part of being an authentic, soulful artist. Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

It's another podcast! Guess what? Natalie has had a little visitor. A tiny furry visitor in her apartment. And now she has a story for us! We talk about  learning to identify our own needs, not putting our "savior" outside of ourselves, and creating a secure environment for ourselves,  AND... this is the first podcast that you can watch the video of!Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

This week's special guest is Natalie's sweet baby girl, Elena! And just like a newborn needs love, care, attention, and nurturing, so does every single one of us. This week Natalie and Kristin talk about how to ask the question "What does my body need?" and to tune in for the answers, everyday and moment by moment. As we can feel the calls and pressures of life, how does each one of us slow down to take care of the precious one inside first. Yes, first, not after all the things are done. We also talk about the sacred gift of life and how attuning to ourselves, our bodies, and our relationships is part of honoring it.

This week, Natalie and Kristin answer questions from the CREATE community on all sorts of different topics -- balance, self-confidence, and audacity. They also have a blast making each other laugh as they catch up, and dive into how we can create space for all of the feelings as they emerge. Natalie blows Kristin's mind when she drops this valuable tool: "the thing I'm trying to avoid feeling is..." We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording! 

This week, we are back to podcasting after Natalie's maternity leave! She shares her birth story with us, and what she has learned in her process as a mother so far. We expand the conversation to what it is to "mother" in the creative sense, and how birthing something new in the world takes a deep inner listening. We discuss the obstacles that arise as we bring anything to life. We also talk about loving and trusting the creation as we learn how to love and trust ourselves.

When our minds get into obsession about something or someone, what is that telling us about ourselves? This week we talk about why the mind wants to leave the present moment, and the tricky ways we avoid feeling our pain. We also talk about how our creativity wants to be utilized here and now, and how our deep emotions are asking for acceptance and expression.

Fasten your seatbelts, friends, we are talking about shame this week! Where is the unlikely place that shame shows up? And what are our triggers trying to reveal to us about what we are believing? We go on to discuss our inherent value and worthiness as human beings, exactly as we are, and we dive into the messages that our habits and behaviors are communicating to our sweet inner child. It's a full packed episode this week!

We are talking about personal evolution on this podcast and where it's taking us!  We explore how our individual choices demonstrate our values. And how our values are unique to each one of us and our purpose on the planet. Also, as we explore deeper into evolving consciousness, we dive into the awakening process that is happening in the world and inside each one of us. The process is natural: just as our bodies are self-healing, so is our growth. Rest and stillness allows us to feel and sense what is arising from within. What's next? We are choosing it as it is also unfolding from our very nature.

What does it mean to have your "hands in the clay?" This week we are talking about actively being involved in the formation of our own lives. We are surrounded by potential, the raw materials of creation. We also talk about inner and inter-dependence as we examine looking at our patterns in order to love and heal them. All of life is our opportunity to have our "hands in the clay."

It's rainbow sweaters! It's listening to your body! This week we are talking about how the Divine whispers differently to each one of us about who we are and what we are called to. We are giving BIG permission to listen to the song of your soul, and follow the inspiration that is unique to you!!! 

Reality is fluid! Who we are is fluid! Life is constantly changing as the universe itself is evolving. We talk about co-creating in a world that is ever alive and dynamic. In the same way, we acknowledge that our dream is also always moving and revealing itself to us. We can't use yesterday's blueprint in today's world.  Energy is flowing and form is shifting... It's fluid! And we are constantly creating a ripple effect with our actions. 

This is our 200 episode! How exciting! The CREATE podcast is a "creative baby" that we have loved birthing into the world. This week, Natalie shares some personal news with us, and we explore what it is like to give birth to a creative idea. We talk about how our creative babies teach us how to become the healthy parents that can raise them. In a way, our creative babies birth us, and our next level of consciousness,

It's the holiday season and it's time for GIFTS! This week we are talking about how we ALL have different feelings and different needs, and we process them all in our own way. When it comes to feelings, there isn't any right or wrong. We are all unique in the way we do things. There is a huge GIFT in accepting our differences as we also learn how to accept ourselves.

Have you ever thought of yourself in a constant dance with Life? How much is "us"? And how much is the formless playing and creating through us? This week we talk about actively creating life, and letting life be created through us. Are we following Life, or is Life following us? Or are both simultaneously happening at the same time?

This week we are talking a lot about un-doing labels and categorization so that we can go beyond the binary into the ever-evolving space that is the essence of life. We discuss the inspirational work of Alok Vaid-Menon. We also talk about the power of holding opposites in all situations, and how intentionally leaving space for creation creates a gateway for who we are going to be next.

We've invented a term for when a person gets preoccupied by trying to "fix" themselves! We stumbled on this idea when reviewing one of our very first podcasts on insecurity. This week, we discuss that whatever we want to “fix” actually points us to the parts that are asking to be loved. The “fixness” itself can be an avoidance of intimacy.  So, instead of trying to “fix” can we bring empathy and unconditional self-love into this moment?

This week is all about the Form and Formless. Matter and Spirit. What comes first. Why that scares us. Where we put our trust. Kristin lets us into her next adventure, while Natalie shares the process of how she "created" her romance.

This week we are talking about our relationships: romantic, artistic, business, and friendships. We discuss the power we each have in our perception to either raise up or to create separation. As there is so much division in the world, how do we not make an "other" and how can we use conflict or difference as an opportunity to take personal responsibility? Where are triggers in a relationship an indication that there is some shadow work to be done?

Hahaha! Nope, we're not giving a sermon this week! We are actually sharing the adventures of our weekend trip to Austin, Texas. Hear all about our inside jokes, our two-step dancing, and how all of life was communicating with us in a myriad of different ways. Picture recommendations - Could be pictures of travel? Or a picture of cowboy boots dancing? A taco truck? Maybe a road map?

This week we talk about what is emerging through us — as individuals and as a collective. We talk about how our values get shaped in this creative process called life. Then we dig into thoughts on how the universe is reflecting back to us what is inside of us and how that helps us to grow! 

This week we are talking about how we've noticed that there seems to be "fear" in the air. Or, another way of saying it, is you can feel the collective anxiety of the human condition coming up to be felt. This is actually positive movement, because we are going from a place of "repressed fear" to "expressed fear" as part of the releasing and transmuting process. This week, we talk about how this is happening in individuals as it occurs at the same time inside the larger collective.

Have you ever noticed that there's always something in your life, your art, your relationships, or your career that you're just not satisfied with? That it's never all "done." That you always find yourself reaching for something. Well, what if the Discontent has a purpose? What if the gap or distance actually creates room for Life to demonstrate itself to us? What is the job isn't to get rid of that space, but to change our relationship with it? This week, we talk about all of that, and we never get around to telling the story about Kristin's pink hair... More for next week!

Is it the voice of your intuition that you hear? Is it the voice of your fears? How can we tell the difference? What do we do with the ever present duality that is always in us? Where are we looking for direction? Do we value outer authority over inner authority? We are back after a little break and here are just a few of the questions that we are asking ourselves this week!

Where is the clutter in your life? Is it in your home, your inbox, or in your relationships, or your emotions? This week, we are talking to lifestyle designer, trained coach, and best-selling author Kerri Richardson about what our clutter is trying to tell us, and how we can move what we "don't want" out of the way to live a life in alignment with our dreams. LINKS: WEBSITE: www.kerririchardson.com

This podcast also could have been called, "The Surprise Podcast" as Natalie surprises Kristin with the podcast topic this week! Natalie goes deep into a download that she received on "overcoming," which leads to a conversation about trusting our innate value, and ultimately, "the choiceless choice of presence."

Since we are in the middle of a global pandemic and it isn't easy to travel like it once was, Natalie & I thought we’d bring you a podcast from one of our favorite Paris adventures! The interesting thing about travel is how we can allow ourselves to let go and meet the unexpected. We let ourselves be led by our curiosity and joy. Those energies are always inside us, and they always want to lead us somewhere… When we listen to them, we are listening from an embodied place, deeper than the mind.

This week we are talking to Melanie Dean PhD about her break through new book, "The Hidden Power of Emotions." We are so inspired about how she communicates the process of science and spirituality, and we can't wait to share it with you.
