  • Episode 15: Intention vs Resolution

    Episode 15: Intention vs Resolution
    Jan 10 2023
    With the start of a new year comes so much talk about resolutions. Lots of us set these, often a bit blindly or based on what the masses are doing/suggesting. In more recent years we've seen a lot of backlash to resolutions, especially on social media. While we are still consuming content that pushes for us to set these "goals" or resolutions to be different.  But what exactly is a resolution, and what does it mean to us?  Are resolutions good or bad? How are resolutions different from intentions? We dive into these questions, and more. And share our own personal perspectives on resolutions, and intentions.

  • Episode 14: Stress is a Choice....

    Episode 14: Stress is a Choice....
    Sep 26 2022
    This episode dives into the huge topic of stress. Stress has basically become a baseline for so many of us, and consciously or unconsciously we are just accepting this. We are choosing to live in a state of stress. Stressful events, and stressors are usually not a choice. But how we respond to stress, and whether we hold onto it is a choice. This is not meant to be a shame trigger. Most of us have not been shown how to move through, and release stress. We have not been taught how to regulate our nervous systems. Our culture loves to glorify stress, and busyness. But as conscious beings, we don't think we are just here to live in a heightened state of reactivity. Know that you deserve to feel aligned, and at peace. Even amongst the ups and downs life hands us.  ***This is not professional advice, simply a perspective. There are so many effective tools available to help us learn to deal with, and release stress. Please talk to a health care provider, or a professional if you are feeling overwhelmed by stress.

  • Episode 12: It's Okay to Change Your Mind

    Episode 12: It's Okay to Change Your Mind
    Aug 12 2022
    It is okay to change your mind, and your mindset. Not only are you allowed to change your mind, you are also allowed to change your mindset. This episode is a reminder to ourselves also, as we share some exciting new about big things happening at Open Hearts. We had to give ourselves permission to change our minds. As you evolve, as you change, as your life circumstances shift certain aspects of your life may longer feel aligned. But society does not always make changing our minds easy. Whether it is starting a new career, leaving a relationship, or simply wanting to feel differently there are so many things that can feel like resistance.  We talk through what this looks like from our perspective, and how money plays such a huge role in people staying stuck in places that are no longer for them. This is because our world is built around currency.  Are you needing to give yourself the space to change your mind?

    Episode 11: Is Anything "Real"?
    Jul 25 2022
    We get a little existential in this episode, and take you behind the scenes into an ongoing conversation we have. Buckle in as we chat alternate realities, the expansiveness of the universe, limitations of the human ego, exploring consciousness, 4D/5D, and so much more.  We encourage you to open your mind, let go of expectation, and just simply notice what comes up for you as you listen.  *Disclaimer; everything in this episode is simply our personal opinion, and our interpretation of information. Always conduct your own "research", and consult trusted practitioners prior to exploring plant medicine.

  • Episode 10: Feminine vs Masculine Energy

    Episode 10: Feminine vs Masculine Energy
    Jul 11 2022
    We all hold both Feminine and Masculine energy within ourselves, and one is not superior to the other. In this episode we break down what that means to us. And how we can begin to recognize and honour our own unique energy formula. When we do this, we can truly begin to step more fully into self acceptance and within that find our potential. In a society that highly values masculine energy traits, even to the point of celebrating toxic masculinity we have often been made to feel that feminine energy is weak. But both energies hold their own type of strength.

  • Episode 9: It's Okay to Know Nothing and Feel Everything

    Episode 9: It's Okay to Know Nothing and Feel Everything
    Jun 27 2022
    It's okay to not be okay. Really what does "okay" even mean? We are all messy, complex, feeling beings. Here for a human experience, which we truly believe includes all emotions, including suffering. Perhaps our expectations, or attachment to non-suffering is what creates even more unease in ourselves. We ramble in many directions throughout the episode, but it fully encapsulates our theme today. No one is perfect, we are all messy in our own way. Feel what you feel, reach out and connect with others. Remember that you do not need to have it all together. And it is okay to ask for help.
