Can you make a plan and still be okay if it completely falls apart?
Which one of our Two Gals used to put too much pressure on having the perfect plan? Or is it both?
Happy Holidays, Happy Holidays! Jingle Bells! Christmas trees, holiday decorations, and family get-togethers. That’s so 2019!
We all know 2020 has been a year when we’ve been forced to really see that life is out of our control. Let’s face it. . . most of us pretty much know this year is that we don’t know sh*t!
Will we travel? Will we be in Lockdown? Will we be released to the wild? Nope, no idea!
We’re all in the same boat. It’s just some of us are rowing in circles.
The question remains since we’re so aware we don’t know what’s happening, can we make plans at all? Can we let go of them at the same time?
Sometimes you just need to stop gripping so hard, release and then go deeper and deeper so that you can open up and be flexible. Wait? Are we still talking about making plans?
Find out what’s dirty, who’s rowing through life gracefully, and who might be headed straight for the Titanic.
Listen as the Gals explore Letting Go & Letting God.

Have you lost that lovin’ feeling?
Oh, oh that lovin’ feeling!
Bring back the flowing juices, cuz they’re gone, gone, gone.
Hot little topic today! Want to take a guess at which of the Two Gals is juicy and which one is dried up?
You know how it goes…
Sitting in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
First comes love, then comes marriage,
then comes the baby in the baby carriage.
Don’t worry, no baby making over here. How many of us have heard that being “In Love” is short-lived? There’s a difference between being “in love” and loving someone. You need both to keep the juiciness flowing!
Real life stuff happens. Projection. Blame. Fear.
One day you can’t get enough of the juice and the next day you’re ready to throw the juice back in their faces!
Just where does the breakdown happen?
What’s the common denominator when you’re IN LOVE?
What’s the one thing that happens and instantly kills the loving and/or dries you up?
Listen as the gals explore the secret to bring back that lovin’ feeling, how to remain easy + flexible, and how to keep the insurrections low so that the erections will stay high!

Are you giving or receiving the mother wound? ... the stepmother wound .. grandmother... where are you in this journey?
As the Gals get into this topic, they look at all the places where the mother wound breaks through. Krista has been working on this for awhile so she’s schooling Katherine and asking some, shall we say, probing questions...
When Krista looks more closely at her own life she has a surprise... How is all this double trouble for Krista?
As the gals stick with the Mother daughter perspective…Krista turns to Bethany Webster’s work to inform this conversation.
We begin to see how we have been only given a filtered version of the women who have gone before.
Sacrifice and Serve: Mainstays of the woman’s role in supporting the patriarchy. In that system, if a woman can’t be the “perfect mother” then she also can’t be a “good person.” Mothering was all about achievement of a good mother status, then, and only then could you do something else. Women subjugated by this wound had to
live up to superhuman standards ...and they are suffocating. Shame guilt and obligation are the results of this type of life. And they pass those on to their children.
The Gals wonder.., How do we get stuck in another century with our mothers and how do we get out of it?
Where is your mother wound landed? In which 4 areas does yours land: Nurture, Protect, Empower, or Initiate? Krista and Katherine have completely different wounds... Listen to find out where that take them.
Empowering only within her reality... mother wound swings generation to generation.
How do we defeat the mother wound?
As always, it’s up to us to take responsibility for our own healing, love ourselves more and dive deep into our own generation wound.
This is not about blame and shame. It’s our work to do now.
On that journey, here are some signs of the mother wound...
Comparison
Shame
Remain small
Sense of guilt for wanting more than I have
Co-dependency
Uncertainty about relationship .. can it be lost?
Protecting sharing caring for your mother
Not being your full self
High tolerance for poor treatment from others
Emotional care taking
This is the time to reparent yourself, not waiting for everyone else to initiate you forward. to be behind me initiating myself forward.
We are the grown ups now and that means we can start bringing this to our kids.
Love yourself, heal this Muther of wound... we love you
Spread the love.
Xoxo

Are the stories about your family really true? Listen as the Gals expose the roots of the Family Tree. Episode 17 has the Two Gals feeling the Earth move under their feet, but is the sky tumbling down? Piggybacking off of last week’s Episode 16 when Krista announced a big thing she might do! Subscribe to our podcast, Link in Bio, to hear what that big thing was!
With so much uncertainty in the world, the Two Gals find themselves looking for solid ground or a safety net. Turning themselves into pretzels to make safety out of something that perhaps wasn’t.
Krista & Katherine think it’s pretty safe to say we all have our stories. Stories we let define us, trigger us, shape us, mold us. Stories that gave us our worldview. Or so we thought! What happens when those stories start to dissolve?
For one of our Gals, it’s meant digging into the roots of her Family Tree. Unearthing her lineage in a way that she wasn’t able to see before! Think about a tree. It grows up and out. Its roots grow down and out. Spreading to create stability, growing unseen and on their own, the roots support us. They give us our core values but can only be sustained if we find them and nurture them.
Do you know your lineage? Do you know who your Grandmother and Great-Grandmother were? Do you know what they were involved in, were they politically active? Do you know if they were like you? Were these stories true? Did they affect your life’s choices?
Sometimes searching means digging for more roots.
Tune in for stories about wild women and legendary men. Hear which of the Two Gals is ready to tap into her Backwoods Background and which is owning her Aristocratic Ancestry!

In our culture, people have such a hard time with Happy. As if they can’t believe it to be true. There always seems to be something else going on (Hello, 2020!) that we could make excuses for NOT being happy. Or maybe it’s guilt around being Happy in these days and times.
One thing’s for sure, Krista & Katherine are good at stimulating their own Happy! It’s when other people try to cock-block their Happy that has them worked up.
If we lean into the words of David Whyte, “the world was meant to be free in,” can we accept people for where they are and who they are and still keep our Happy?
How do we stay in our Happy place when the shit is hitting the fan and splattering all over the walls? How do we tell others, as the kids in the 70’s used to say, “don’t harsh my mellow!” (who out there knows this reference?).
Listen as the gals flirt around with this one! There might even be some Marilyn Monroe styling skirt blowing going on!

Who are you letting swipe your Happy?
Where does your Happy come from? It’s no secret that the Two Gals find their Happy in being silly, going deep, and getting juicy!
Everyone has a different relationship with their Happy/ness. Have you ever had a moment of Happy and want to share it with the world, or chirp it like Katherine did with Mr. Delicious, only to be shut down?

Are you tired of the merry-go-round of working on your relationship? Hold the phone, there’s something better! The Gals have your money back guarantee… but you’ll have to listen
as they explore when you decide to Get Off!
We’ve all been there. Working on the same issues again and again can be dizzying, make you puke, and churn up that 3rd Chakra of personal power and self-esteem.
Nothing gets resolved. That is, unless someone flies off the Merry-Go-Round or Gets Off. Whether you’re jumping off or getting shoved off, it can be painful. But if you make the decision to Get Off, you’ve got the whole playground at your fingertips.
Krista reflects back on her last two relationships. You check out Seasons 1 & 2 to learn how she really put her head down and did the work. What kind of work was she really doing? What sort of playground equipment was she working with? Stick Ball, Anyone?
Which one of our Two Gals is trying to Get Off of the current spinning right round baby, right round cycle? How many times and how many different ways do the Two Gals get off in this episode?
Krista’s got two words for Katherine on Episode 15. What are they? It’s a Surprise Topic that’s got Katherine squirming in her pants! They go Deeper and Deeper with laughs and visuals galore you won’t want to miss!

Should you give a Holy F*ck about your business? In Season 3, Episode 14, the Two Gals explore what it means to have “God in your Business.”
Krista & Katherine are keeping it calm this episode. But wait, are they really? Do they ever? Maybe it’s not earth shaking but how about some bed shaking for Katherine with Mr. Delicious?
If you’ve been following the Two Gals, and it’s okay if you’re new and getting to know them, you know they’re all about Love . . . and Sex. Krista & Katherine are no strangers to going deep… into their psyches, that is. What did you think we were going to say?
In Seasons 1 & 2, the Two Gals peel off (the layers) and expose (their self-limiting beliefs, and habitual patterns in relationships, partnerships, and family.) But when God calls to them, “Go Deeper” are they ready to strip down, to their most true self?
Listen as the Gals explore how to Bring God to Work every day and take their spiritual growth from the bedroom to the boardroom to really get down & dirty about what’s going on underneath the surface, or perhaps the sheets? You’ll have to tune in to find out!

Katherine and Krista explore the dance of relationship the coming and the going, the pleasing and the pain. Touching back into the ways of the avoidant, Mr. Delicious gives Katherine a run for her money. And Katherine believing that she can just get over what is deeply true for her runs over herself as she tries to make things work for the Mr.
In this episode the Gals explore what makes things juicy and what dries things up… was it Katherine who was creating all the trouble for herself? Was it classic co-dependency or was she really doing something new?
As Katherine explores all that she thinks she should know, she is fed some humble pie by Krista who points out how long this pattern has been playing out.
Things get super uncomfortable when Katherine’s upset finally shows up in her dreams. She lets down her guard, wakes up Mr. Delicious (quite literally and yes, that other way too) and tell him what she has been hiding.
After months of trying to make things ok, Katherine finally just claims what she needs…
What happens next? What does the truth do to the logjam they’ve been in?
When Katherine stops being needy and just spills the beans, what does Mr. Delicious do next?
As Krista realizes that some inner child work might be on it’s way she attempts to fly the coop ~ but stops herself long enough to remind Katherine to choose herself, and start with a self-love stance of: “I am the One.”
Have you been bringing your whole self? Or are you engaging like Katherine was in holding back and holding on? Listen to hear the way that this goes and how you can turn this all around for yourself!
Codependent or Intimate? Needy or whole with needs? You decide … and see what happens.

Is Boyfriend Sex Hot or Not? What is the deciding factor? Is it the new hot man on the scene? Or the one that brings home the bacon?
Listen as the gals explore what it takes to keep things juicy!
We know you’ve been waiting on pins and needles to see how Krista is doing after last week’s episode… when Krista was downright perturbed!
Did she text Mr. Right Here Right Now? Did she do her work before? And What happened next?
How she responds reminds Katherine of one of the basic tenets of partnership and has Krista saying, “rrriigghhtt”. (insert dubious tone here).
Partnerships can get sticky, when it comes to keeping sex juicy. Does your boyfriend sex get boring as time goes on? Or does it get juicier as you add the mystery ingredient?
When we begin to find our voices, we get vulnerable, and we drop into new levels of intimacy.
If you play at the edges and go deep, you can end up in all kinds of places, letting it all hang out!
These Two Gals are invested in squeezing the juice and keeping their partnerships juicy so hold on to your hat and see what happens when you open your heart and let go of, old stories and old junk, and jump in for the real wild ride.
They definitely agree it all boils down to this…
Listen as they may very well have found the Key to Juiciness!
You’re definitely going to want to ride this one all the way to the end as Krista & Katherine talk about chakras, tantra, animals (Rawr!), pounding it out, and poking holes.
We love you All!

Have you ever been tempted to do something you’ll really regret? Yet secretly hoping someone will save you from yourself?
Which one of the gals is in trouble NOW?
Hello, Pattern my old friend… it’s good to see you once again!
Two Gals Soul School is in SESSION! Season 3 has been full of insights + laughs. What an amazing platform to share our lives, our growths, and transformations.
You just might want to take a trip down HFP memory lane and listen to Seasons 1 & 2 to see just how far our Two Gals have come.
Patterns. We’ve all got them. Those stories that sit below the surface and creep up when our buttons are pushed or are triggered in some way. They’re those seeds that have spent years growing and don’t just go away if you trim them back. You have to get to the root.
For one of the Gals, feelings of abandonment, not feeling good or important enough have been themes with more than one past relationship and now in her current one. When these beliefs get triggered, what are we left to do? Fight. Flight. Freeze. Faint.
Which Genie is waiting to be released from the bottle and ready to come out? Which Gal needs to get rubbed the right way to have her needs met?
Making mutual agreements are the touchstone of partnerships. We are all faced with choice points and deal conversations, in order for each person to be respected for who they are and what they need.
But all of this can bring up fears, resentments, and shaky twisty little traps.
Do you think our Gal in question was able to stay away from the Rabbit Hole or did she tumble down it, like Alice? Tune in to listen to the light bulb moments and to hear if our Gal is still on the edge of the cliff.
We love you all,
As always, Spread the Love.

Listen to Season 3: Episode 10 as the Two Gals talk about whether or not they hold true to their “no” when the pressure is on… in the bedroom or the boardroom.
Do you ever have that moment when you think everything’s okay in your life, then a friend calls and somehow it flips a switch and you just spill it all out? I wonder what’s got Katherine’s words doing cartwheels out of her mouth…
One thing’s for sure, Katherine’s got a lot cooking in this episode! Feeling frustrated about holding her boundaries in order to create a container of self-care, Katherine had some incredible revelations and oh boy will you relate!
How often do we, as women, wobble with our “no?” Maybe you are in the tricky spot of people pleasing, sacrificing for someone else, or you just want to be nice. It’s how we’re wired, instinctually.
The Two Gals are left feeling perplexed! But definitely not at a loss for words.
Why do these situations continue to happen? What is going on underneath?
What could Katherine have done differently in her situation, or 5 situations rather?
What are the consequences? What can you do to heal the patterns?
The tricky kicker?
There’s an unexpected player being manipulated in all of this.
Care to guess?
Better yet, tune in as Katherine and Krista invite you to pay attention to when you’re sacrificing, the messages from Spirit, and most of all how to get even better at
And, as always, invite you to Spread the Love.Spread the LOVE!

Is it just cute? dishonorable? or something darker?
Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad Boys… they make you feel so good!
Or are they just Bad to the Bone?
It’s Hot, Hot, Hot up in the studio and the Two Gals are going to use their heat for good.
What happens when it gets Hot in Here?
One of the Gals loves to take things off when it’s hot.
Maybe a Strip Poker on the podcast?
The temperature rises with the steamy topic of what it really means to be a Bad Boy.
There’s a difference between a Bad Boy, a Dark Knight, and a Clinically Ill Manipulative Man.
How do you know if you’re Bargaining with the Devil or Having a Come to Jesus Moment? There’s a keyword and action that is necessary to be your most powerful and free self.
Take a trip down Relationship Memory Lane as Krista reflects on The Man With No Name, Golden Eyes aka Rico Suave, and Mr. Right Here Right Now. But Katherine’s not off the hook! She’s had her fair share with The One Who Will Not Be Named and Mr. Delicious.
Don’t think they’re letting Ladies off the hook from being bad to the bone. Krista & Katherine have plenty to say about their own badness and dishonorable-ness, leaving Katherine calling bullsh*t as Krista has an A-Ha moment.
What a crazy trip it’s been over the past three seasons! If you haven’t been following, it’s worth listening to Seasons 1 & 2 to hear how the Two Gals have really stepped into their Holy F***ness.
What kind of relationships do the Two Gals wish for you? You’ll have to tune in to find out the answers to all these questions and more!
We love you!
And, as always, invite you to Spread the Love.Spread the LOVE!www.twogalssoulschool.com
Does being a Good Girl really get you what you want?
How often have you heard, “Sugar & Spice & everything Nice, that’s what girls are made of?”
The Two Gals have heard it enough to know they’re sick and tired of hearing it! They’ve said enough is enough!
In a culture where women are ashamed to be themselves and shamed to fit into the Good Girl mold, Katherine and Krista show up in a whole new way in Season 3. Tired of being left with not one single meaningful relationship and only knowing someone inch deep? Because when you’re pretending, you’re only giving them the tip…
of the iceberg that is…
They’ve come a long way baby! Throwing off their Puritan Frocks and trading them in for 50 Shades of Grey, not giving a f*** what anyone says!
So why then do we still, as women, fall into the Pretending & Pleasing game? Life is Truth and Truth is Life. As the Gals probe this subject, everyone is invited to play deeper than the tip to get to the real meat.
Own the feelings and get to the healing. Let’s bring it on.
So, what does the Empowered Woman look like these days? Are you just going through the motions and being NICE? Or are you on your way to the powerful sexy life you want?
If you are curious how you get that life you want …then you’re not gonna want to miss this episode as the Two Gals talk about risky business, risky positions, and tell some deep truths! You’re going to wish you could see Katherine’s out-of-control face! So tune it!
We love you! And, as always, please, Spread the Love.

In Season 3, Ep. 7, Let’s Make a Deal!
Krista & Katherine tell us how they got what they really, really wanted. Or did they?
Sometimes what we really, really wanted or what we really, really needed and really, really couldn’t get wasn’t really, really what we thought it was at all. Really!
Just a little recap in case you missed Ep. 6:
Mr. Right Here, Right Now gave Krista what it was she really really needed... After six months and Krista allowing him to take the lead, their partnership has a totally different playful flavor!
Surprised? The Two Gals sure were! Mr. Right Here, Right Now is more of a freedom kinda guy, whereas Krista wanted to be the Queen Bee in the Kingdom of Monogamy. But was that what she really needed now?
So, what do you do when two people see different ways of living their lives but still love each other? They’re building a life together, buying groceries. You know, real world investments but where was the foundation?
Krista thought the big C would be the stabilizing factor but what was it? What finally lined up that created the foundation? There might still be uncertainty and triggers but with something solid to build bricks on top of, it sits differently for her. Even Mr. Right Here, Right Now is showing up differently after seeing she loved him enough to not take his “no” away. He still has his freedom but doesn’t seem to be actively seeking it as much!
But Krista’s not alone on the Let’s Make a Deal stage. Enter Mr. Delicious and Katherine!
They’re engaged? Are they engaged? Engaged? Are we? Diving deep into the abyss of cohabitating, working together, a son at home, and COVID-19. Oy! She was getting the words from Mr. Delicious and the actions would stick, intermittently, but something tended to kick its way to the surface. The see-saw of stability and instability was alive and well!
Where are they finding their way? Katherine and Mr. Delicious explore the opportunity in conflict where each person can find peace. It means being open to curiosity, flexibility, and staying present to find if what you need is right where you are or is it time to start loving from afar?
Making a deal; It’s all about the details. It’s about knowing yourself enough to get your needs met. Because loving yourself is the best way to be loved by another person.
The Two Gals had no idea when they were watching the TV game show Let’s Make a Deal, that they’d really be needing to Make a Deal! Even Mr. Right Here, Right Now and Mr. Delicious don’t know about the deals going on inside their heads!
Tune in to hear when the Two Gals gamble on the “hidden prizes” and if they turned out to be just what was needed or a whole lot more.
We love you… and,
As always, Spread the Love!

Would you compromise to make something go away? Do you think either of the Two Gals would?
In Season 3: Episode 6, they sure give us something to talk about!
Growing in partnership means doing things differently. It means showing up differently. After many closed hearted moments in relationships, the Two Gals are learning. With this comes moving through the growing pains a bit more smoothly. Not necessarily in the moment. But hey, when we know better, we do better.
We all come to each other with our own triggers, fears, and needs for what it means to be loved, to feel safe, to have freedom and be given space. And yet, we can still end up saying, “How did we get here? I don’t have the answers.”
That’s when the even bigger questions come in.
“Are you willing to risk your relationship for yourself?”
“Who do I become in this relationship?”
When met with her worst nightmare, Krista brings out ‘Krista From the Block’ or as Katherine puts it , the semi Lunatic, “F*** You,” “I Hate You,” “Get Out,” Krista.
It can be easy to fall into the seduction of pleasing someone else. But that only leads to one equation…Relationship > You = Sacrifice = Loss = Feelings of Victimization.
When we force the commitment, the “I’ll Do Anything to Make Him Stay” moments, we end up exhausted and emotionally spent. Krista and Katherine have been there and know they’re not alone.
What happens then when:
We surrender to Spirit?
We sit back and allow the unfolding to be natural?
We let the Intuition of Partnership carve out the pathway?
Expansion over Enmeshment.
Communication over Compromise.
Sprinkled in with Possibility and topped with Willingness to be Creative.
The story is always evolving with Krista and Mr. Right Here Right Now. Tune in and find out if Krista is Desperately Seeking Commitment or Desperately Seeking Krista!
What is the magic elixir that gives Krista back to herself? What is it that she really really wanted?

In Season 3: Episode 5, the Two Gals talk about Commitment- (cue the scary music) Duh, duh, duh! Are you afraid of commitment because you’re afraid it won’t allow you to change? Then this is the Episode for you.
Brought to you by a listener who shared HIS story with us. This one comes from a man ~ What a conversation starter! We’re both coaches, so when people share stories it gives us the opportunity to share what we know and what might help with everyone!
The “normal” way of dealing when someone has ‘lost that lovin’ feeling, is only one of two things. Should I Stay or Should I Go Now? But aren’t commitments much more than that? Could they be both fixed and fluid? What happens when one partner becomes debilitated by illness, or incapacitated for any reason, or just doesn’t want to ‘put out’?
As Spiritual Psychologists, the Two Gals are always asking what the lesson is.
Our listener is feeling like he’s stuck between those two choices- stay or go. So, he’s staying and sacrificing. In walks Shame, Guilt, and Torment. Out walks his own life.
When we look at it from a different perspective, the conversation opens up. You can ask yourself, “Am I in a Partnership or a Relationship?” Partnership is the key word. It requires involvement, balance, and willingness. A true partnership is about each person thriving, not necessarily about staying together. It’s being open to new ideas and curious to what solutions exist, even if the form of your partnership changes..
When love is in the picture, we often feel like there’s a certain level of sacrifice we should be expecting. But does there have to be? Life changes. Things happen. So when that happens what are the partnership solutions? Long term? Short Term? Self-sacrifice is the beginning of the slippery of depletion, resentment, and loss of ourselves. When we give up ourselves, we give up everything.
The beauty of partnership is you never have to let go of the loving, but you might have to change the form you are in, might be that you let go of marriage but keep the family, or let go of monogamy or… the sky is the limit it is up to you. This is intense and it requires full expression of love from one of you to the other. It only works if both partners feel safe. It’s about saying, “I love you. I care about you. You’re important to me. And, something isn’t working.” Goodbye Shame, Guilt, and Torment! Hello Compassion, Kindness, and Creativity!
Partnership allows for change. Relationship shuts it down. So, when you find yourself in relationship, how do you stop stressing and open to the love again? Slow it all down so gentleness can come through.
Rest your brain, use your Mind. Visualize that you want peace, serenity, kindness, love and sex. Open your heart and let creative solutions flow through.
But… can you stay steady, can you have the conversation and maintain through all the feels and still be there? Not sure about you but the Two Gals definitely have something to say about that.
Listen in as Katherine & Krista weigh in, which may or may not have left one of the Gals at a loss for words!
We love you!
Most importantly, Spread the Love!
You won’t want to miss the Episode that Almost Never Was!
In S3Ep4, the Two Gals just wanna have fun! Or is drama a substitution for fun?
Krista says Katherine is finally done with the drama. Coming from Krista that’s a pretty bold statement. Especially if you throw in “someone’s” period. Who’s laughing now?
They’re both so over the HolyFing drama so it’s time to bring out the wine and tequila!
Speaking of Fun… Have you ever been caught by someone while having “Fun” with your partner? Wanna guess which one of the two gals was caught basking in the After Glow? A BIG thanks to the Universe for it being THAT moment and not another one. Queue the saved therapy session dollars.
Fun can be confused with the adrenaline rush that comes from the drama llama.
With all that’s going on societally right now, it’s common to be shamed for having fun. SO how do we get that hit, that fix, if we can’t express our fun? We often buy into the drama.
What do you do when confronted with drama? Do you invest in the drama of the Great Outerworld or do you pay no attention to the voices behind the curtain?
If we can’t have fun, what the bleep is the point? There’s always going to be something in the world that needs healing, that needs dealing with.
We have to maintain our energy, light, loving, joy, and fun in order to be solid Light Beings and go out and impact change. This is what change looks like.
Listen as the Two Gals lean into the fun, postulate spiritual attainment, wax poetic of the mysteries of life, and pull back the veil on what REAL life REALLY is.
You’ve officially got permission to go and have some FUN! It helps the next person and the next person to have fun so that you can inspire others to see a more enjoyable way through. Joy is infectious. Joy is absolutely possible!
Spread the LOVE!
The Gals are completely inspired by Naked Athena, the angel of grace who appeared in Portland this week and caused a stir, dissolved the rancor and released the power of love in a tense situation.
What are we talking about? None other than the presence of a beautiful, naked young woman who walked in her divinity, as a powerful ballerina in between protestors and military police.
Turns out the Gals have lots to say about a very silent and beautiful action . Was she a real person, an embodied Goddess Athena arriving as the olive tree of peace, or was she an apparition, unknown and unnamed?
Whatever or whomever she was, she was vulnerable, naked, open, and without fear. She was full of light and disarmed a tense situation with her heavenly presence. Her simple, gentle beautiful arrival brought peace and left an indelible mark on our souls.
Clearly connected to the divine feminine and embodying the dance with the divine masculine, she has birthed the power of the modern woman. Strong, stable, self and divinely partnered and protected, she was invited into her wholeness and she is fearless in her loving.
We all have this capacity within us. We are all capable but will we do the practice? Will we take the time to embody the power, wholeness and peace required to take this kind of aligned action?
This is the true path to our power. Connected, collected and empowered from Love. This stops war, this dissolves hate. This is the power of Love.
We love you! Now go out and spread the love!

In S3Ep2, Krista starts her day reflecting on Mr. Right Here Right Now… disappearing into blissful surrender… flowing into some early morning intimacy… only to find herself “rejected” … Or was she?
She finds herself going from a powerful awareness of pure happiness to feeling shame and hurt. Building on her inner story (that she is working to release) Krista finds herself thinking about “getting even” for his perceived rejection of her.
Was her early morning intimacy a true expression of her loving or was there another old story of Krista trying to “keep him coming back” by sending him away satisfied?
Recognizing that some fear of loss has slipped into her consciousness, she realizes that she was the one who broke their beautiful connection. Her desire to own him and keep him for her own was getting in her way.
Katherine, having a similar experience of a blissful field with Mr. Delicious, enjoying flow and expressions of love from a gentle place, creates a similar break in the field of love. Katherine’s leaning into some morning intimacy doesn’t feel quite right to Mr. Delicious and he questions her motives. Wondering if she was really available, he suggests that she might be topping out. Was she needing to find a way to reciprocate, to offer herself because all the love he was giving her was too much, too outside her comfort zone to just receive?
Both Gals in their moments of reverie, gave that up for what Gay Hendricks would call an “upper limit.” Feeling the bliss was too unstable, the Gals eventually take full responsibly for the fact that they were not rejected but instead, they rejected the experience of love when the intimacy got to be too much for them.
Will they be able to find their center and reclaim their loving before the guys get home?
Listen and find out!

In the Season 3, Episode 1 podcast the gals are talkin’ ‘bout ‘gettin’ it on’ with yourself!
Well, really, they are talking commitment to SELF as a key to a successful partnership but ‘gettin’ it on’ just sounds more fun than the C- word. Commitment! Which is maybe why some people resist it so darn much!
As Katherine and Mr. Delicious decide whether or not to throw in the towel, they stumble upon a big revelation! A part of Katherine’s essence is being highly judged by Mr. Delicious. Who is enduring who? Is her love of roses wrong or is partnership realized more fully if he find his way to honor it?
Meanwhile, Krista and Mr. Right Here Right Now hit some rough patches in new love land, that challenge them both to claim their needs and not sacrifice them (even at the price of potentially losing the relationship!)
So the gals bring up the topic: Are you fully committed to yourself and what does that look like anyway?
Tune in to discover just how committed you are to YOU!

In this Special edition, the Gals interview *Cedi Ali Rajah (bio below), Katherine’s friend from Spiritual Psychology Graduate school, and Krista’s sometime dance partner!
Cedi generously offered himself on Facebook being one voice for Black America from his life experience about what it was like for him to grow up as a Black American. He conceived his offer to take action towards greater understanding by creating a safe place for people to talk and ask questions.
While he had some interesting experiences since he made that offer, they were not all what he was expecting, so when the Gals heard about it and called from Holy F, he was ready to dish. He discusses adapting to the ghetto, choosing his life over his coat, black on black crime, and the inevitable profiling run ins with law enforcement.
Krista asks Cedi about his experience of being in a predominantly white environment in graduate school as he learned the Spiritual Psychology perspective on all this.
Cedi and the Gals take on what was different for him once he began to see from that viewpoint. What makes Cedi stand out and be available to take on big questions and big conversations? How does it make him able to handle difficult situations with grace and keep himself focused on loving? When making another surprising point about the idea of “color blindness,” Cedi accentuates the Spiritual level of living without bypassing what is happening here and now.
What skill does he use that Katherine invites listeners to use as they hear his story?
His story is not perhaps ‘typical’, but maybe that’s the point. Black lives matter, each and every one must be honored, and how we treat each other is personal for everyone. His personal story touches Katherine deeply and brings her to tears with an apology, recognizing the unfairness of the system and her responsibility in blindness to it.
In another nod to spiritual psychology, Cedi reminds her to release whatever guilt she is holding using self-forgiveness which will invite her into more inspired action (like this podcast.)
In referring to the Spiritual approach, Krista warns us of the issue of inaction that comes from spiritual bypass, as it is time to take inspired action towards change that comes from our hearts to rectify what is unjust and to become part of the solution with care and kindness towards each other.
As the conversation wraps up, it is apparent that Cedi’s message is clear. It’s time to listen and learn from Black Americans about the reality that they are living, and that it is also time to love and forgive.
*Cedi Ali Rajah is an LA-based writer, director, and photographer.
He majored in English & Linguistics at Morehouse College in Atlanta, and then studied Directing for Theater, Video & Cinema at California Institute of the Arts. He also holds a Master's Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica, where he and Katherine were classmates.
His first novel will be in bookstores this fall. Find more of his work at http://www.cedialirajah.com and follow him on Instagram at @cedialirajah.
