This episode feels so bittersweet, because it’s going to be my last one for a while. This has been an extremely hard decision for me, because I’ve built an incredible community since starting my podcast. Whether this is the first episode you’ve tuned into, or you’ve been with me from the beginning, I just want to let you know how truly, TRULY grateful I am for you, and how near and dear you are to my heart! I don’t think this will be goodbye forever in this space, but more of a goodbye for now.

While a podcast pause is happening, we’re also talking about the elephant in the room today. I’m not necessarily making fun of myself here (but...I kind of am too). I recently had someone comment on my weight - specifically, telling me I’ve gained weight. Even though this was really difficult to hear, it’s also true, because I HAVE gained weight. Fortunately, I already know how important it is to take care of our inner child, and do the necessary work to care for and love ourselves and not relying on others to do so. Ultimately, I want you to know that you are ALREADY enough, and worthy, and loved - no matter your weight or size. Please continue to show up as your unique, vibrant, and magnetic self, because no one can take that away from you!

In this episode, we chat about:

• An amazing speaking opportunity + retreat I was able to experience in Mexico 
• Thinking about your inner child/the little girl version of yourself, and what she would love about you now as an adult woman
• Random messages from strangers on the internet that make all of your insecurities and negative beliefs come flooding back in
• Why we MUST have radical self acceptance and self compassion so we won’t be easily hurt and brought down by the outside world
• How I’ve continued to evolve as a business owner and person over the last few years
• My difficult decision to pause the podcast, and what’s coming up in my next season

I am beyond excited to welcome today’s guest, Waylynn Lucas, to the podcast! We’re diving into what life can look like when you follow your fire, instead of taking the ‘normal’ path that looks just like everyone else’s. Waylynn’s story is fascinating; she’s had a variety of unique life experiences, and she hasn’t been afraid to pursue different passions on her journey. Waylynn’s energy, spirit, and no-nonsense attitude is one-of-a-kind, and she is truly a light in the world. 

Waylynn Lucas is the cookbook author of Sunny-Side Up, more than 100 recipes from the essential egg to the perfect pastry. She is the encouraging but honest judge on Food Network’s hit show, Cake War. Her love of country life and the outdoors has brought her back to the basics of food and life, where she now owns and operates a wholesale bakery, Butter & Barley. She strives to deepen her culinary knowledge, expand her homestead to gardens, cheese making and raising her own food. She also wants to be the voice to bridge the gap between farmers, ranchers, and the restaurant-consumer world, and connect the people back to their food on a wholesome and educated journey. Waylynn hosts women’s horsemanship and country culinary retreats with her gal pal and best friend, as well as offering life and success coaching in a business they call Grit Grace Grow.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Waylynn’s life plans that originally led her away from the ag and western lifestyle
• Why it’s okay to try everything and figure out what actually sets your soul on fire
• How valuable a strong work ethic can be
• Pivotal life lessons that pushed Waylynn to ‘keep suiting up and showing up’, and sharing with others
• Understanding when it’s time to let something go and make a necessary shift in your life
• What’s next for Waylynn as she steps back into the western industry in this season of life
• Navigating the new journey of motherhood and career as a single mom, and finding a balance between the two

I have a very fun episode to share with you today! My good friend, Emily Reuschel, is joining me on the podcast, and we’re talking about something we both TOTALLY nerd out about - habits! 

Since we’re approaching the end of 2023, Emily and I thought it would be beneficial to dive more into habits and share some tactical tools and takeaways to help you re-evaluate your current habits, or re-establish new ones all together. We both feel very passionately about habits, because they can really enhance the FULL 360 view of your life. The power of tiny habits has majorly impacted our businesses, health journeys, and personal growth journeys. 

Emily Reuschel is a farmer’s wife, mom of three, entrepreneur, motivational speaker, podcast host, and the leader of retreats and masterminds that propel rural women toward their truest, most-aligned goals and priorities. She helps other rural women get clear on what they want, release the inner dialogue that tells them it’s impossible, and go after the goals that are keeping them awake at night …. without giving up the small-town life they love.

In this episode, we will cover:

• Why you don’t need to wait until the new year to start creating new habits and practicing intentionality
• Knowing your current habits that are already in place, and understanding how they’re serving you (and how they’re not)
• Why small, healthy habits lead to MORE small, healthy habits
• The dangerous trap of comparing yourself to what you were like in previous seasons of life
• Learning to give yourself grace and embracing progress over perfection
• My personal habits I’m committing to for the next 32 days
• Kiah’s six habits she is committing to for the next 82 days
• Practicing intentionality and mindfulness in a way that cares for your mental, emotional, AND physical health
• How Emily’s upcoming Ascend retreat can help you kickstart 2024 and really transform your life in a powerful way

Today we’re talking about what to do when kids and adults are a-holes. Specifically referring to when they make unsolicited body comments that make us feel like crap and have us slip into a shame spiral. My hope is that this episode will make you feel less insecure about body comments, more compassionate to the offenders, and more confident in how to respond.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why others make comments and why it can be harmful 
• How to respond when adults and/or kids make comments that hurt
• To be compassionately curious about your defensiveness and ask yourself what is illuminating about YOU?
• The importance of self-acceptance and self-confidence
• A reminder that our opinions of ourselves are the most important opinion of all

Hi, my name is Kiah and I am a recovering people pleaser. I’m introducing myself like I’m at a people pleasers anonymous meeting and honestly, if those groups don’t exist maybe they should.

As a people pleaser, I have had a tendency in my life to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself because I didn’t want to rock the boat, upset people, or just generally be uncomfortable. I saw my thoughts and feelings as a me problem and I didn’t want to burden anybody else with them. There are some problems with this which we’ll get into in a second, but as a recovering people pleaser, one of my main goals I’ve been working on is being brave with my words.

In this episode, we chat about:

• You aren’t alone in your people pleasing ways
• The more we internalize our feelings, the scarier they feel and the harder they are to manage
• Keeping your emotions and feelings bottled up doesn’t serve you or others
• The power of journaling

I first connected with today’s guest last year at the Agriculture Future of America AllianceX alumni summit in Denver, CO. He was a fellow speaker and after reconnecting with him again at this year’s conference in Louisville, KY I just knew I needed to bring him on the show.

Corey is a talented speaker and teacher and has won multiple teaching and speaking awards including the Outstanding Professor of the Year Award and the Joel Goldman Award for most respected speaker on the CAMPUSPEAK roster. He currently teaches classes on business law and ethics in a department ranked by the Wall Street Journal and Business Week in the top ten nationwide for producing students with high ethical standards.

Corey also speaks to tens of thousands of individuals each year about “authentic success” and living an ethical life and is the author of the book Inspire Integrity: Chase An Authentic Life. He has spoken to diverse audiences in over 300 cities and 47 states over the past eighteen years. A Colorado native, Corey resides in Denver with his wife, Jillian and daughters Sophia and Sydney.
