In this episode, we sit down with Randy Paris — playing the part of the thoughtful skeptic who has spent over a decade searching for peace, flow, and inner harmony. Together we explore what it means to live in a thought-created reality: how our experience is shaped not by circumstances themselves, but by the thinking we bring to them.
Randy voices the doubts many of us carry — “How does trusting yourself actually pay the bills?” — and we walk through real stories, including Britta’s two-day financial freakout in Berlin and the profound shift that came when she saw worry was optional. Along the way, we talk about the difference between left-brain anxiety and right-brain spaciousness, why panic narrows possibility while presence expands it, and how experimentation can help even the most skeptical mind find its own evidence.
The episode closes with a simple thought experiment you can try yourself: live for a time as if reality is 100% thought-created — and notice the space beyond thought.

What happens when you treat your relationship like a kingdom with a clear leader?
In this intimate, layered conversation with our friend and fellow coach Josh Billings, we explore Kevin stepping into the role of “CEO of the relationship” — from sex life to conflict resolution — and the trust, boundaries, and vulnerabilities that come with it.
We also dive into Josh’s provocative distinction between encouragement and inspiration for men — why one can subtly disempower while the other calls forth real leadership — and how the way you see your partner shapes who they become.
A raw, revealing dialogue on power, polarity, and the unseen dynamics that can make or break intimacy.

What if the struggle you thought was required…never actually was?
In this conversation, Kevin talks with Jordan Kaltenbruner about her year-long coaching journey with Britta. She entered coaching believing she had to push, grit her teeth, and struggle to create the life she wanted — and over 12 months, that paradigm dissolved into something radically different: the discovery of fundamental wellbeing.
She once thought suffering was necessary to empathize — until the realization of a deeper okayness changed everything. She experienced a calm she’d never felt before, as the background hum of “it’s not okay” dissolved. From that place, her life, her business, and her service began to flow with greater ease, love, and impact.
Together, they explore:
• The moment Jordan realized fundamental wellbeing is always here
• How Britta’s unwavering presence helped her move through fear, darkness, and resistance
• Why certain somatic practices can add more layers of “stuff to fix” — and the liberating alternative of seeing thought for what it is
• The nervous system calm that followed — and the freedom it created in both her life and her work
Jordan’s story is a living demonstration of what becomes possible when we see through the illusion of struggle and return to the truth of our own okayness.

A fisherman enjoys a simple, spacious life. A businessman tells him how he could build an empire, retire rich…and then live the same simple life he already has.
In this short episode, we explore the question at the heart of this parable: What do you actually want?

What is wisdom, really? Not the voice of the overthinking mind, but the simple, effortless intelligence already alive within you.
In this conversation, Britta and Kevin explore wisdom as an innate knowing — lighter and fresher than thinking, arising in the moment as subtle nudges or bold leaps. They share how it feels more like willingness than willpower, and how life unfolds with more ease and alignment when we listen.
Along the way, Britta offers original poetry, inviting you deeper into the living experience of wisdom — the still small voice, the presence of divine intelligence moving through you, the miracle available in every moment.

The classic “marshmallow test” says it’s better to wait for two than to take one now…
But what about the strengths of the kid who grabs the marshmallow immediately?
In this short episode, we unshame the so-called impulsive choice — and explore how the “bugs” we’ve seen as flaws (ADHD, laziness, OCD tendencies, and more) might actually be features, even superpowers, when embraced.

What if you stopped trying to get it right — and simply let yourself be fully, wildly you?
In this easy, emergent, playful conversation, astrologer, artist, and coach Tara Moraleda joins us to explore what it really means to live authentically — beyond the “shoulds,” beyond rigid professionalism, beyond who you think you’re supposed to be. Together, we unpack how to listen deeply to your own wisdom, embrace your weirdness, and let joy and authentic desire lead the way.
We talk about the suffering that comes from chasing false standards, the quiet power of asking “What do I actually want?”, and the freedom that opens up when you stop playing by someone else’s rules. Tara shares how she uses astrology as a mythic map — a kind of permission slip to trust your desires and your timing — and why enjoyment is not just allowed but essential.
This episode feels like what it points to: relaxed, real, and alive with possibility. It’s an invitation to stop trying to fit the box, start listening to yourself, and remember:
Authenticity isn’t a strategy. It’s the reward.

The principle is simple: do the thing — and do it now.
Not when you feel inspired or “ready,” not once you’ve healed more, not after you get permission, and not once the timing is “perfect.”
Acting in the moment dissolves decision fatigue, shrinks fear back to size, and turns stuckness into flow.
In this episode, we share how we’ve used this principle everywhere — from everyday tasks to the so-called “big decisions” — and why waiting only slows your life, your growth, and your joy…and makes your world much smaller than it could be.

Why do we keep trying to fix ourselves, defend our stories, and resist what’s here — when peace is already who we are?
Spiritual teacher, coach, and celebrated musician Ash Ruiz joins us to explore the illusion of separation, the “three amigos of suffering,” and the radical power of willingness. With humor, deep clarity, and a presence steeped in Love, Ash invites us to rest in what we already are — and to notice the creative, compassionate clarity that arises when we stop resisting life.
Along the way, he shares live poetry and song that evoke the heart of this truth — reminding us that peace and presence are not something we earn, but our very (enjoyable) nature.

We all get caught in thought — but we don’t have to stay there.
In this episode, we explore what happens when we start seeing thought for what it really is: a neutral, creative force that isn’t who we are. Like clouds passing through the sky, thought is temporary, made up, and often not true — yet it creates the very real feelings we live inside.
We share what we’ve seen — and lived — about waking up from thought-created realities, why you don’t have to fix or change your thinking to feel better, and how grounding into presence brings a freedom and sanity that’s always available.
From Sunday Scaries to full-on panic, from everyday stories to life-shifting insight, seeing through thought can transform how you experience yourself, your feelings, and your life.

We’ve been taught that compromise is the key to good relationships — but what if it’s actually costing you more than you realize?
In this episode, we explore how compromise often cuts you off from your truth, limits creativity, and keeps you stuck in fear. We share what we've seen — and lived — about why you don’t have to give up what you want (or ask others to), how to tell the difference between clean desire and craving, and what becomes possible when you’re willing to stay with your authentic wants.
Whether in love, work, or life, the alternatives to compromise might surprise you — and transform what you thought was possible.

In this lively conversation with relationship expert Elizabeth Stone, Britta and Kevin explore what happens when you stop living by “should” and start listening to what you actually want — in love, in life, and beyond.
Together they challenge some of the most common and unhelpful relationship advice, like “don’t go to bed angry,” and share what actually deepens connection and fulfillment.
Elizabeth offers unconventional wisdom on why presence and clear desire matter more than compromise, how to stop overanalyzing and start living, and how embracing the unexpected — from creating alter egos to bending spoons — can expand what feels possible in your life and relationships.
She also shares her refreshingly simple advice for anyone looking to meet “the one” and how releasing pressure and just showing up can change everything.

We tend to look in the wrong direction — chasing clarity, strategy, results.
But what if the better question is:
How’s my connection?
To this moment.
To this person.
To this work.
In this ten minute episode, Britta and Kevin point to something simple and overlooked:
Connection isn’t just a feeling — it’s a compass.
And when you tune into it, life gets obvious again.

What happens when you strip away every coping mechanism for a week — no caffeine, no podcasts, no video games, no screen entertainment, no distractions — and face what’s underneath?
In this episode, Britta and Kevin run game film on their recent “Angerhuasca” journey: a self-imposed “no bullshit” week that brought buried anger to the surface, revealed subtle relationship dynamics, and sparked emotional breakthroughs neither of them saw coming.
What began as a detox became a portal for shadow work, deeper connection, and clarity around what truly nourishes versus numbs. They unpack what they discovered about rage, intimacy, and the kind of wisdom that only emerges when you follow a soul nudge — even when it’s wildly uncomfortable.

Most of the world is caught in maybe. In hesitation. In the endless loop of trying to make the perfect move instead of making any real move.
But commitment? Commitment is a tuning fork for the soul. It’s how you summon the future. And sometimes the very moment you decide, you become the person who can do the thing.
