#33 - We All Need Connection with Denise Milfort

Navigating the dating world and relationships in general is difficult.
When you mix dating apps, other people’s opinions, your own expectations and anxieties it can be downright exhausting.
Loving, nourishing and investing in yourself is the best way to find a connection within and with others.  
At the end of the day everyone wants to be connected; have you ever thought about what it takes to find that connection?
Our guest today is two-time guest Denise Milfort; an actress from Port au Prince, Haiti, now residing in California. We discuss love, life, friendships, marriage and dating. There are many reservations when you put something out into the world- you must think will my frequency and response be the same next year? Five years from now? Ten years?
You must be open to change in your relationships.
Relationships can succeed when you set expectations, are true to yourself and are your own beloved. If you are alone and want connection or to erase boredom/loneliness- you need to get out and make the effort. We must all find the balance. A great psychologist to gain information from is Pat Allen she works with masculine and feminine energy in relationships and life. Learning fluidity in relationships.
In this show we will answer a few questions sent in from listeners.
Borderline abusive relationship what is my perspective? How to deal when someone completely rejects you? And, what’s your perspective on dating apps; feels like I am disposable and exhausted from everything?

#32 - The Water Magister: Astral Travel with David Rodriguez

There are many things that we should be doing to maintain a happy and healthy life. Knowing our self-worth, believing in healing power, and surrendering or letting go of issues we cannot change are a few. Our guest explains how obtaining these can lead you to an enlightened life.
Do you know that you alone can be the ultimate healer of your own body?
We have two guests today. First is Nicole, manager at the Space and Raw Republic. Our main guest is David Andrew Rodriguez, also known as the Water Magister. Nicole went to the Okeechobee fest in Florida this March and took an astral travel class with David. She explains the feelings and thoughts through this session.
David is a teacher of meditation, Ashtanga yoga, astral-projection, ritual, sigil magic and more. He also just published a book titled, “The Water Magister’s: Self-Discovery” which consists of his journey through journaling, “sponge-mode” and meditation to heal depression. David also tells us how poetry, channelings and using free-spoken word gave him a deeper understanding of his battle.
Learn about the importance of setting intentions. Also, how the power to manifest can bring you and your partner together. Why travelling through an out of body experience may be the means to acknowledge the shadow within ourselves and know what we need to protect ourselves from.

#25 - Keep The Fire Burning with Angela Kukhahn

Angela Kukhahn joins Nathalie for a discussion all about yoga! Yoga lovers, especially teachers, will not want to miss this one. Nathalie and Angela talk about being a yoga teacher, tools and techniques developed along the way, and more.
As yogis and yoga teachers, we’re always growing and evolving. Our views on what was right at one point in time can easily change, and often do, over the years.
Angela shares what inspires her to inspire others while teaching and how to address the individual in a group setting.
We hear about the use of props like blocks, belts, and blankets. Props bring many benefits, although some people have concerns about their use. Is it right to want to stick with some yoga traditions from the past, or is it okay to evolve and accept the use of props?
Social media provides great opportunities to connect and share information. Angela tells us about the growth of her Instagram account to over 80,000 followers, the dedication involved with running such an account, and even how to deal with periodic negative comments.
Everybody is on their own spiritual journey, as yoga teachers, we can only share our own experiences and aim to create the best scenario possible for students to experience their own journey.

#24 - AWAKENING with Preston Smiles

For most of our lives, we’re taught that we need something outside of ourselves in order to feel whole and complete. But, the thing is, in this moment, all of our needs are met.
Preston Smiles joins Nathalie to talk about this, and more advice for living happily. Learn how to break down the walls to being yourself. Nobody should be holding you back. Discover the truth of your being.
Preston also challenges the idea that we all have to find just one “thing” to do for our entire lives, discusses the reasons why he thinks men should show emotion rather than repressing, and we learn about the primal benefits of doing activities like dancing, yoga, or even just screaming. They all help to dissipate negative energy, something that many of us don’t even realize needs to be done!
In a culture where we are taught and many times programed that men don't cry or are allowed to express deep feelings and emotions - Preston challenges us to a new belief system and new paradimes - not from a place of him telling us who or what to be, but from encouraging us to be exactly who we are today. 
How do we do that? Tune in to this episode for many inspirational tools and live your most authentic life.
