Kayla is a homeschool mama, a fierce self-advocate, and a pro at navigating life’s curveballs with grace, grit, and radical responsibility (my kind of woman). We’re diving into some juicy topics, like: Why radical responsibility is the ultimate power move (yes, even when it’s hard AF) How breaking free from labels can unlock your most authentic self The not-so-glamorous truth about anger and how it’s often more about you than them (oof, I felt that one) And how creative communication can make all the difference in parenting, marriage, and every relationship Kayla also shares her journey of homeschooling her kiddos while tackling her own health challenges, and let me tell you—her insights on self-awareness, internal peace, and the power of belief will have you rethinking how you show up in your own life. This conversation is raw, real, and packed with those “oh sh*t” moments that hit you right in the feels. If you’ve been feeling stuck in old patterns or struggling with big emotions, this episode is a must-listen.

Jan 15, 202501:05:41Tap to summarizeIn this episode of The Brave B*tches Podcast, I sit down with Daisy to dig into some juicy topics about relationships, vulnerability, and personal growth. We kick things off by exploring why vulnerability is such a game-changer in relationships—and yep, we even get into how it connects with sexual intimacy. Daisy and I talk about the courage it takes to show up as your whole self, messy parts and all, to build those deep, meaningful connections. We also get real about what it’s like to keep the passion alive in relationships, sharing some of our own stories and tips on spending quality time together and keeping communication open and honest. From there, we dive into a topic that hits close to home for both of us: leaving a community you feel safe in, and stepping into our individuality. It’s a raw and vulnerable conversation about letting go of long-held beliefs, navigating the loss of relationships and identity, and working through the anger that can come with it. We also touch on the importance of finding or building a supportive community and how somatic therapy has helped us reconnect with our bodies and heal. This episode is packed with stories, insights, and a lot of heart. Whether you’re looking to deepen your relationships, work through personal growth, or just feel seen in your journey, I think you’ll get so much out of this one. Tune in, and let’s get brave together! Sound Bites: "Showing both the light and the dark in ourselves is where humans find connection and intimacy." "Asking for help is a gift to both ourselves and the person who gets to support us." "Sexual intimacy is an opportunity to share all aspects of ourselves and be vulnerable with our partners." "It was a wild experience to drop all your beliefs, drop all your relationships, your community, your sense of self, your destiny, just all the pieces that you kind of create in your own mind to decide who you are. And when you leave a religion, you have to drop everything."

I literally use it for everything. It's in our wellness first aid kit. We use it for bumps and bruises and stomach aches and everything. So yeah, I'm like, I got an oil for that, y'all." ……………………...

Transcribe →18: Kelsey P. - Lawyer, Avid Reader & Traveler
Jul 5, 202401:16:56Tap to summarizeOn this episode, Kelsey and I discuss her work in human rights and her experiences living abroad. We also touch on the positives and negatives of social media, along with how it can benefit humanitarian work. I am so honored that she was willing to be on the podcast, and I loved getting to dive into her hilarious, intelligent mind. The majority of the episode we delve into our shared love for the book series' A Court of Thorns and Roses and Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. We talk about what we love, what we think could have been better, and basically just fan-girl over the whole Maas universe. We chat about our love for reading, the role it has played in our lives since childhood, and the power of books to heal and inspire. The conversation then shifts to my experience of visiting a monastery in Nepal and how I met my husband.
