In this vulnerable and empowering solo episode, I open up about something we’ve all felt — the sting of being unfollowed. Whether it’s a friend or a total stranger, losing a follower can feel personal, even when it’s not. But what if it’s actually an invitation to evolve?
In “The Great Unfollow,” I unpack why unfollows happen, how to detach your worth from your numbers, and why alignment matters more than approval. I share personal experiences, emotional reframes, and affirmations that remind you of your inherent value — because your purpose can’t be unfollowed.
If you’ve ever questioned your worth after seeing a follower count drop, this episode will remind you that your voice, your story, and your purpose are still valid. Always.

In this thought-provoking episode of Kultivation w/ Kevie, I sit down with Matthew Strunk, a serial entrepreneur and founder of IllumiShift, to talk about what happens when success doesn’t feel like enough.

Matt shares how his experience led to the creation of IllumiShift, a movement that helps others navigate “the in-between” — that disorienting space between who you were and who you’re becoming.
From fear-based motivation to purpose-driven living, this episode unpacks the emotional cost of success and how to replace achievement addiction with genuine self-awareness.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder — not from a textbook or clinical standpoint, but from lived experience. I share what OCD has looked like for me: the intrusive thoughts, the fear-based rituals, and the invisible mental battles that shaped how I moved through the world.

My hope is to shed light on what it’s really like to live with OCD — beyond the stereotypes — and to remind anyone listening that healing doesn’t mean perfection; it means finding peace in your truth.
If you’ve ever felt trapped by your thoughts or defined by your struggles, this episode is for you. You are not broken. You are not your compulsions. You are worthy of peace.

In this empowering episode of Kultivation w/ Kevie: A Self-Empowerment Podcast | Cultivating Courage, Confidence, Consistency & Creativity, I open up about a deeply personal and universal struggle — people pleasing. We unpack how many of us wear the “silent mask” of seeking approval to feel safe, tracing its roots back to childhood patterns, conditional love, and fear of rejection.
I share my own vulnerable experiences of saying “yes” when my heart screamed “no,” the moment I finally chose myself, and the messy but beautiful process of breaking free from approval addiction. We also talk about practical ways to start your recovery journey: reclaiming your “no,” validating yourself, choosing rest, and standing firm in your truth — even when others don’t like it.
This is more than just a conversation; it’s an invitation to take off the mask, honor your needs, and step into your authentic power. Plus, this week’s episode features not one but TWO special musical performances, including a soulful, stripped down cover of Amerie’s iconic hit “1 Thing.” 🎶

In this Next Level Voices episode of Kultivation w/ Kevie, I sit down with transformational guide Emma Lyons to explore the powerful concept of the “Inner Narcissist.” Drawing from her own lived experiences growing up in a covertly narcissistic family, Emma reveals how internalized shame and inherited family dynamics can quietly shape our self-beliefs, behaviors, and sense of worth well into adulthood.
Emma shares how recognizing the “inner narcissist” — the internalized voice of control, fear, and self-attack — is the first step to reclaiming freedom. She breaks down the roles we play in dysfunctional families (like scapegoat, enabler, and golden child), why traditional personal development often falls short, and how working with the nervous system — not just mindset — is the key to deep transformation
