Acting teacher and coach John Markland joins us to talk about what happens when the identity you’ve built to feel safe or successful starts to feel out of alignment. We talk about the unexpressed parts of ourselves we learn to hide, why honesty matters more than approval, and how reconnecting to instinct and curiosity can bring us closer to what’s real. It’s a conversation about truth, creativity, and what becomes possible when we stop performing and start allowing.

Debut romance author Joss Richard never set out to be a professional writer — she didn’t even think it was possible. But a creative spark that began as fan fiction and quiet Notes app writing sessions eventually became her first novel, It’s Different This Time, now a USA Today bestseller. In this episode, we talk about what it means to follow the thing that feels most true to you, even when it asks you to let go of the plan you thought you had — and how the stories we’re meant to tell have a way of finding us when we finally make space for them.

The truth is, integrity isn’t built in a single decision — it’s practiced over a lifetime. In this episode, Joanne Molinaro — or as many know her, The Korean Vegan — shares how she rebuilt her life from the inside out, leaving behind the version of success that no longer fit and returning to the one thing that always has: her own voice.

In a world full of distraction and constant input, how do we discern between what the world tells us about us—and what we actually think and feel? In this episode, Kathryn brings her coach, Jennifer Swartley, to the podcast to explore how we can quiet the noise, reconnect with our true selves, and access the grounded clarity that already lives within us.

In this episode, Kathryn sits down with her sister, Alyssa Flaschner, to talk about what it means to find the thing that makes you come alive—and how small degree shifts, followed with honesty and curiosity, can quietly change everything. From weeknights with her cookbook collection to culinary school weekends in New York, this is a story about trusting the pull toward what feels true and letting it reshape your life, one choice at a time.

James and Michael Gallagher—brothers from the Midwest and co-founders of Rituil—share how a last-minute trip to Portugal opened a new chapter in their lives together. We talk about vertical timing vs. our linear expectations, rituals as everyday anchors, and what it means to build with humility, presence, and surrender.

After nearly a decade in corporate America, Sarah Spoto made the leap to create Badii, a bathing culture brand inspired by her transformational experience living in Switzerland. We talk about how to make sense of broken systems and accountability, how anger can bring clarity, and why wellness should be an everyday ritual, not a luxury.

In this first episode of the new season, I sit down with Katherine Naylor Pullman, Founder & CEO of Our Third Place. What began as a single dinner has grown into a global community of 1,600+ members across 37 cities — proof that in a hyperconnected world, what we’re really craving is friendship and true togetherness.

Actor. Entrepreneur. Dungeon Master. Joshua Selesnick is a force, and a dear friend of mine, who believes his purpose is to bring out the creative genius in everyone he works with.

Today, my dear friend, Denisha Brekke, takes us on her journey as an intuitive, creative, saucy entrepreneur. Her story teaches us the power of experimenting without expectations, and what can happen when you give up who you thought you 'should be' in the world, so you can discover the beautiful truth of who you already are.

This lesson has turned into a mantra for me. To be honest in the relationships we have with ourselves and with others, is not just a pathway to connection and growth, but also sign of respect. It can be scary in the moment to hear what someone honestly thinks or to share how you really feel, but it's real. It's kind. And it’s human.

In today's episode, Allian Roman joins me to talk about the truth of transformation. Allian is a Latina, an actor, a body-builder, and an engineer. Her story teaches us that as awkward and uncomfortable as it is to be a late bloomer, it is never too late to pivot.

In today's episode, I reflect on the new chapter I am starting (city, job, dog... the trifecta) and share my guiding principles for embracing the discomfort, awkwardness, and profound meaning that comes with stepping into something new.

Today, my dear friend and teacher, Joshua Lundell, joins me on the podcast to explore what it means to live with loving-kindness, specifically how to take it from a lovely idea, to something you put into action every day. Joshua is many things... a culture architect, executive coach, author, artist, and yoga teacher, to name a few. In short, he makes art, helps others, and leads with loving-kindness.

In today's episode, I share what I am learning about navigating the end of a chapter, like how overthinking what's to come keeps us from experiencing the important moments right in front of us, and how resisting change doesn't stop it from coming. I invite you to be right here, with me, and not miss this moment.

Today my mom, Kristina Flaschner, joins me to talk about the privilege of getting older and the choice we all have to find adventure and meaning each day.
