The Urban Hippy

In this episode, I sit down my good friend and psychologist, Dana Cohen, as we debrief our misaligned male encounters from the day. We explore the slow death of chivalry, the emotional and energetic labor of dating, and why effort still matters. From questioning traditional roles to diving into existential kinks and our pull toward drama, we share personal reflection with psychological insight. A raw look at self-worth, desire, and what our experiences might be trying to show us. This is a public episode.

Pleasure is a driving force of mine… Isn’t it everyone’s? Desire can be so energizing but it can also be a sneaky form of misalignment driven by past wounds, social conditioning, and dopamine hits… Today, I briefly discuss how intuition can often be overridden by desire. I emphasize the some of the key differences to distinguish the two as well as the importance of discernment. This is a public episode.

Anxiety for me has become an increasingly familiar feeling- I did not grow up with strong anxiousness but watched it consume the lives of people closest to me. However, the more energetically sensitive I become, the more anxiety has a way of creeping in. Often times, disguising itself as intuition. Today, I talk about the key differences between anxiety and intuition and how an unlikely archetype actually saved me from myself. Below is the link to Myss’s video which I mention throughout the episode. I hope you enjoy, xx Ky This is a public episode.

Okay folks. Here it is, my first podcast. I am considering it less of a podcast and more of an insanely long voice note, since I am missing all the bells and whistles making it oh-so-official. Here are some thoughts and conclusions I have been drawing recently with the help of failed situationships, National Geographic, conversations with other women, and of course, spending too much time in spiritual hubs. I hope you enjoy listening. I would love to hear your thoughts and have a continued dialogue around this topic. My heart and mind is open, and ever changing. with love,ky This is a public episode.
