The Authentic Life With KL

Welcome to The Authentic Life w/KL — where we have real conversations about healing, growth, authenticity, and the experiences that shape who we become.Today’s guest is Hope Chovan, a hypnotherapist and sound frequency practitioner whose work focuses on helping people reconnect with their inner state through the power of the subconscious mind and vibration. By combining hypnotherapy with frequency-based practices, Hope supports emotional healing, helps release limiting beliefs, and guides people back into alignment mentally, emotionally, and energetically.At the heart of her work is the belief that healing happens on a vibrational level — and when we begin shifting what’s happening beneath the surface, everything else in life starts to change.In this episode, we’re diving into subconscious healing, frequency work, emotional transformation, and what it really means to reconnect with yourself from the inside out.So take a deep breath, settle in, and get ready for a powerful conversation.This is The Authentic Life w/KL.Let’s get into it.

Hey… welcome back to The Authentic Life with KL.Today feels a little different…because today, it’s just me.And I want to invite you into something really personal.This episode is about my new book… What Saved Us.But more than that—it’s about the moments that kept us here.The things that held us togetherwhen we felt like we were falling apart.Because if you’re here listening…there’s something that saved you too.Maybe it was a song.Maybe it was a person.Maybe it was a moment where you almost gave up…and somehow—you didn’t.This book… didn’t come from a place of “having it all figured out.”It came from the in-between.From the breaking… and the becoming.From the quiet questions like—“Why did I stay?”“What kept me going?”“What actually mattered in the end?”And what I realized is…we don’t always notice what saved us while it’s happening.Sometimes it’s small.Sometimes it’s messy.Sometimes it doesn’t look like healing at all.But it counts.So today… I want to do something really special.I want to dive into letting go.Letting go of the versions of us we outgrew…the pain we kept carrying…the stories we minimized…and the parts of our lives we said “weren’t a big deal”…even though they still live in our body.And as we move through this episode…I’m going to share a few readings from What Saved Us.Pieces of my heart.Pieces of truth.And maybe… pieces of you too.I don’t want you to just listen to this episode.I want you to feel it.I want you to think about your own story—not just the big moments…but the quiet ones.The ones that don’t get talked about.The ones that shaped you.Because your story matters.Not just the polished version…but the real one.So wherever you are right now—driving, sitting, walking, working…Take a breath with me.And ask yourself…“What saved me?”Let’s go there… together.

Today’s episode is for anyone who has ever struggled to speak up, to set boundaries, or to say what they really mean without guilt, fear, or overthinking.Because let’s be real… Knowing what you want to say and actually saying it? Two completely different things.And that’s exactly why I’m so excited for today’s guest.Kami Orange is a boundary coach and the author of Say the Thing — a powerful guide to communicating clearly, confidently, and without losing yourself in the process. She helps people find their voice, stand in their truth, and navigate those conversations that feel uncomfortable… but are often the most important ones we’ll ever have.In this conversation, we’re diving into what it really looks like to set boundaries in real life — not just the idea of it, but the messy, human, in-the-moment reality of it. We talk about people-pleasing, fear of conflict, and how to start saying the things you’ve been holding in… in a way that actually honors you.If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to hurt their feelings…” “I’ll just let it go…” or “I’ll deal with it later…”This episode is going to hit home.So take a breath, settle in…and let’s get into it.Kami Orange – Kami Orange Boundary Coach

Today I’m really excited to introduce our guest, Jamie Kucinski from the band XIII Minutes. If you’ve ever connected deeply with a song — the kind that feels like it understands something inside you that you didn’t even know how to explain — then you know the kind of power music can hold. Jamie is part of a band that brings that kind of intensity and emotion to their music.XIII Minutes has built a sound that blends powerful rock energy with raw honesty, and today we’re going to go beyond the music and talk about the person behind it. We’ll dive into Jamie’s journey as an artist, what inspires the music, the highs and lows that come with creating and performing, and how music becomes a lifeline not just for listeners, but for the people who create it too.So settle in, because this is going to be a great conversation about music, authenticity, and the stories that connect us all.

Welcome back to The Authentic Life with KL.Today’s conversation is one that almost every human being understands, even if we don’t always talk about it out loud.That voice inside our head.The one that tells us we’re not good enough. That we’re behind. That we messed everything up. That we should stay quiet, play small, or give up before we even try.That inner voice can be brutal.Sometimes it sounds like doubt. Sometimes it sounds like fear. And sometimes it echoes things that were said to us years ago that we never fully let go of.But here’s the truth — that voice isn’t always telling the truth.Today Rebel and I are talking about where that voice comes from, why it can become so loud in our lives, and how learning to question it can completely change the way we see ourselves.Because the voice in your head should not be the one that destroys you.It should be the one that helps guide you back to yourself.So if you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt… If you’ve ever felt like your own mind was working against you… Or if you’ve ever wondered how to quiet that inner critic long enough to hear your real voice…This conversation is for you.

Today’s episode is one of those conversations that reminds you why music matters in the first place.I’m sitting down with musician and Life’s a Beach Music Festival organizer, Brian Markle — and this isn’t just a conversation about stages, sound systems, or lineups.This is a conversation about being an emotional human in a world that doesn’t always make space for that.Brian opens up about how tragedy shaped him — not in a way that hardened him, but in a way that deepened him. We talk about what it means to feel things fully… to turn pain into impact… and to create something meaningful for other people because of what you’ve lived through.Because Life’s a Beach isn’t just a festival — it’s an experience. It’s connection. It’s healing. It’s that moment in the crowd when the music hits and you realize you’re not alone in what you’ve carried.

Today’s guest is someone who carries a story that’s both raw and deeply human. Brooke Hague’s journey began with profound loss, including the passing of her father — a grief that shaped her world in ways she couldn’t yet name. As so many of us do when pain goes unspoken, Brooke found herself searching for relief in places that slowly became cages, navigating seasons of addiction and disconnection from herself.But this isn’t just a story of what was lost — it’s a story of what was reclaimed. Through courage, reflection, and choosing herself again and again, Brooke began the journey of returning home to herself. Today, she is the owner of her own company, a coach with NAS Recovery Solutions, and a woman living with intention and purpose. She fills her cup with joy, inspiration, and a deep commitment to her own growth and the healing of others.Brooke’s story is a powerful reminder that healing isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering who you were before the world and your wounds taught you to forget. Her journey speaks to the beauty of coming home to yourself and choosing to live a life that actually feels like yours.

“Today’s episode is one that really matters to me. We’re talking about recovery, about hope, and about what it actually looks like to rebuild a life when things have fallen apart.My guest today is Cameron, the founder of NAS Recovery Solutions. Cameron’s work is rooted in lived experience — not just theory — and he’s created a space that meets people where they are, without judgment, without shame, and without giving up on them.NAS Recovery Solutions isn’t just about sobriety — it’s about dignity, community, and giving people real tools to come back to themselves when they’ve lost their way.If you’ve ever loved someone who’s struggled with addiction, if you’ve walked through recovery yourself, or if you just believe in second chances and human compassion — this conversation is for you.”

Welcome to The Authentic Life with KL. Today, we’re creating space to pause and reflect. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to keep going without ever stopping to ask how we’re really doing.In this episode, we’re talking about how moments — like the full moon — can act as timestamps in our lives. Gentle reminders to check in, to notice what we’re carrying, and to ask what’s ready to be released.This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about being honest, present, and willing to listen to yourself in the quiet moments.So wherever you’re joining us from — take a breath, settle in, and reflect with us.

Today’s conversation is especially meaningful. I’m sitting down with LJR, an artist whose journey includes a chapter many people carry quietly — walking away from the ministry and the church in order to truly find himself.This isn’t a story about losing faith — it’s a story about listening to your inner voice when the path you were handed no longer fits. It’s about the courage it takes to step away from what’s familiar, what’s expected, and what’s praised… to sit in the unknown and ask, Who am I really?So many people are afraid to talk about this. And yet, there are so many of us searching for someone who will. Someone who will say, You’re not broken for questioning. You’re not wrong for choosing yourself. And you’re not alone.This conversation is for anyone who has felt torn between belief and belonging, truth and tradition, faith and freedom. It’s about healing, identity, and finding your way back to yourself — even when it means walking away first.Take a breath. You’re safe here.Let’s get into it.”

Today’s episode is  "Just Kitty" and it's an invitation to soften and release the belief that you have to earn your worth before you’re allowed to receive. You are WORTHY!We’re diving into what it truly means to be worthy now, how the universe speaks through signs and sensations, and how inspired action flows when you stop forcing and start trusting.This isn’t about doing more. It’s about allowing more. So take a breath—and let’s begin.Kittylynne.com

Welcome to another episode of The Authentic Life w/ KL. Today, we’re opening the door to a tender, powerful topic: generational trauma — the inherited stories, wounds, and beliefs that have shaped us long before we even knew they existed.I’m honored to be joined by Rebel, someone who brings wisdom, compassion, and lived experience to this conversation. Together, we’ll talk about what it feels like to notice patterns within your family, how to navigate the discomfort of awakening, and how to begin gently rewriting the narrative for yourself and those who come after you.This isn’t about blame. This is about understanding. This is about freedom. And this is about choosing a new direction with courage and compassion.Wherever you are on your healing journey — you belong here.Let’s begin.

Jordan brings a massive, aggressive-yet-loving stage presence that commands attention, and he’s unafraid to get real about mental health. With REdEFINED, he turns pain into power and chaos into community — the very heartbeat behind songs like ‘Let’s Party’ and ‘Dead Boi’, anthems that hit just as hard emotionally as they do sonically. Please welcome Jordan Caparell to the show.” 

Today on The Authentic Life with KL, I’m sitting down with an artist whose music reminds us of one of the most powerful truths: sometimes the bravest thing we can do is just keep breathing.

 Today’s guest is someone whose journey will stay with you long after this conversation ends. Joey Cox, the voice and heart behind Layne’s Calling, doesn’t just write songs—he lived them. His story is one of resilience, raw honesty, and the kind of passion that can only come from walking through the fire and choosing to keep singing. Through music, Joey has found a way to turn pain into purpose, creating anthems that speak directly to the struggles, hopes, and healing we all search for. In this episode, we dive into the moments that shaped him, the music that moves him, and the message he hopes the world hears loud and clear: you’re never alone in your fight. This is Joey Cox… and this is The Authentic Life w/ KL."

Today’s episode is something different. It’s not an interview. It’s not a guest feature. It’s me — Kitty Lynne — raw, real, and behind the mic, pulling back the curtain to share the story behind this podcast… and the heart behind every word. Because before there were interviews, before there was a name, there was a whisper inside me that said: “Create the space you always needed.”I started this podcast not because I had all the answers — but because I had a voice. A voice that had been quieted, overlooked, and almost lost too many times. And I knew I wasn’t the only one.Here, we talk about the songs that saved us. The darkness we crawled through. The real stuff that most people are afraid to say out loud.It’s about freedom. It’s about finding your voice when the world tells you to be silent. It’s about seeing people for who they are beneath the layers — behind the stage lights, the roles, and the walls we all build to survive.My mission has always been simple: To remind you that your story matters. That healing is messy and brave. And that somewhere between the pain and the playlist... there’s still hope.So if you’ve ever felt like you were too much… not enough… or somewhere in between —This one’s for you.Let’s go behind the podcast.

"Hey everyone — it’s Kitty, and welcome back to The Authentic Life w/KL. Today’s episode is something special. I’m sitting down with the incredibly talented Yarin Glam — a singer-songwriter whose voice is not only sonically stunning but whose message runs deep.Born in Israel and now based in LA, Yarin brings a bold blend of pop, soul, and truth to the music scene. But beyond the sound — it’s the why behind her work that truly resonates. She’s all about self-love, breaking barriers, and using music as a mirror for growth and identity. She’s been open about her journey with self-acceptance, mental health, and learning how to take up space in a world that doesn’t always make that easy.In this episode, we talk music, healing, boundaries, being a woman in this industry, and what it really means to own your story — even the messy parts. So if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t fit the mold or struggled to find your voice — this one’s for you.Let’s dive in."

Today’s guest is someone whose voice doesn’t just sing—it carries souls. A true alchemist of sound and emotion, Lukas Rossi has spent his life transforming pain into poetry and chaos into connection.Most people first met Lukas through Rockstar: Supernova, where he lit up the stage with a presence you couldn’t ignore. But what’s even more powerful than that moment is everything he’s done since. He didn’t just ride a wave—he created his own current. Through every high, every fall, every reinvention, Lukas has continued to evolve, create, and connect in ways that feel nothing short of sacred.With his album Prophecy, he gave us a raw look at the storms he’s weathered—songs that speak not only to survival, but to the fire that fuels rebirth. And with Storyteller, he invites us even deeper. These songs feel like journal entries written under moonlight, stitched together by scars and hope. It’s the kind of music that finds you when you’re on the edge—and somehow, brings you back.But beyond the music, Lukas is a mirror. A reflector of truth. A reminder that broken doesn’t mean damaged—it means real. And in a world full of masks, he’s one of the few artists who continues to show up unapologetically authentic.Lukas Rossi hasn’t stopped since Supernova—he’s just gotten deeper, bolder, and more soulful. And he continues to be a voice for the ones who feel too much, fight too hard, and still choose to stay standing.So today, I’m beyond honored to sit down with a man whose artistry has helped so many feel seen, heard, and healed. This is more than an interview—it’s a conversation with a storyteller, a survivor, and a soul who never stopped believing in the power of music to save lives.Welcome to The Authentic Life — Lukas Rossi.

Today’s guest is living proof that determination can defy diagnosis, and music can ignite a revolution from the inside out.Brandon Mendenhall is the founder and guitarist of The Mendenhall Experiment—a hard rock band with a mission. Born with cerebral palsy and told he'd never play guitar, Brandon flipped the script on every limitation handed to him. Through grit, passion, and a relentless belief in something bigger than the struggle, he not only learned to play—he built a movement.In this episode, we talk about what it means to rise, to rewire your story, and to choose purpose over pity. We dive into mental health, music as medicine, and why community matters now more than ever.Whether you’re navigating your own comeback or searching for proof that anything is possible—this conversation is your reminder that resilience is louder than doubt.This is more than a podcast episode—it’s an anthem.Let’s get into it.

“Some people make music. Others become music — living, breathing reminders of how sound can heal, lift, and connect us. Today’s guest is someone who has done exactly that, not only through his role as guitarist for Otherwise, but through the soul and service behind Life by Music.I’m beyond honored to welcome Ryan Patrick to the podcast — not just as an artist I admire, but as a human who has impacted my life in ways that words can barely touch.

Today, I’m sitting down with someone whose voice carries both soul and grace — Johnny Sidney Davis, a powerhouse singer and songwriter whose latest track, “Going Down Alone,” is more than just a song. It’s a soul cry, an anthem for anyone who’s ever stared down their own darkness and dared to speak it out loud.Johnny’s not just an artist — he’s a truth-teller. His music pulls no punches, and his lyrics cut straight to the heart. “Going Down Alone” is raw, real, and resonant — the kind of song that doesn’t just echo through your speakers, it stays with you. And today, we’re talking about the pain behind the power, the healing behind the honesty, and the courage it takes to sing the things most people are afraid to say.If you’ve ever needed a reminder that you're not alone in your struggle — this one’s for you.This… is The Authentic Life with KL.Johnny Sidney DavisSpotify

Matt opens up about the challenges and triumphs in his own path toward living authentically, how music became both refuge and revolution, and why owning your truth — however messy or magnificent — is the ultimate act of courage.So settle in, take a deep breath, and join us for this honest and inspiring conversation about breaking through the noise and coming home to yourself.This is Unmasking + Living Authentically, with Matt Brooks from Like a Storm.
