In this episode, Kiran and Chetna talk about:

• Kiran’s partnership being a space where she could be her full, queer, androgynous self in her vulnerabilities and wins

• Morning meditation with Deepak Chopra and Oprah as a way to reset, start the day positively, take responsibility for her self-rhetoric, and get herself ready to step out into the world

• The practice in partnership of separating behavior that’s not loving from the deeper truth of care and love for you

• A reframe on projection as a space to learn when we can own it; the person we project on is illuminating something within us that we need to look at

• Being aware of our menstrual cycles, moon cycles, etc. to take responsibility for our moods and feelings

• Leading with the underlying assumptions of the great joys of love, care, and growth mindset

• Modeling the behavior in relationship that you seek

• The art of asking for what you need, and the art of giving it or not if it’s not within capacity

• Experiences that might have contribute to us not being able to ask for our needs; others receiving those needs as something bad, or feeling shame after asking for your needs from someone who was misaligned

• We’re teaching other people how to care for us by asking for our needs

• Being in the practice of meeting our own needs, and tapping our communities for care also

• Speaking your needs and giving the other person the opportunity to rise to opportunity to win, the ask, and the invitation to give 

• Some of Kiran’s daily practices that help her stay on the path of purpose: making her bed, morning meditation, making a matcha, morning pages

• Self-respect through discipline and showing up

• The necessity and importance of taking the time to connect to ourselves, especially in the world where there’s so much that takes us away from ourselves

• The healing opportunity in people who are different or expressing themselves in big ways; showing us what’s possible!

• Being accessible in her self-expression through empathy, shared leadership, warmth, and awareness of others through eye contact, thoughtful conversations, meaningful engagements with presence

• “Bad habits” being a way to cope or get a deep need met; i.e. smoking tied to easing the mother wound, for nourishment, sustenance, and connection which feels more accessible than connecting with people. 

• “Bad habits” coming from a deeper need for care, but in a way that aren’t beneficial for us or others

• Music as an audio timestamp of emotion, amplifying sincerity in music-making

• Some of Kiran’s “bad habits” like eating badly, drinking too much, etc.

• Her desire to meet the root cause without the distractions by eliminating alcohol, being plant-based, and meditating

• Understanding the depth of the pain as a way to amplify the joy

• Emotions as currency that we can create from, feed ourselves from, etc.

• The self-respect of restraint (like bumper lanes on a bowling alley), boundaries, and what you do when no one is around

• Her work as healing; finding her way into healing by doing her work of service and purpose

• Her attraction to people who are strong in their feminine, a divine mother queen despite gender, and learning this from gay men and trans women

• Her going on tour doing a strong feminine show that is her dream show that she’s always wanted to watch
