Krystyl and Hannah are two best friends and small business owners, who recently started a new community group, Noco Girls Collective.

02.08 | On Healing Through Plants + Art with Ashley from RejuveNATE
Today's guest is Ashley Searing. She teaches kindergarten and owns RejuveNate - Plants & Wellness. RejuveNATE debuted in July 2020 after she lost her brother Nate to mental illness in February 2020. After Nate passed, she wanted to do something to reach people who may also struggle with similar things in their life so she created RejuveNate. They therapeutically hand-paint all the pottery that comes out of the shop and pair them with plants to bring awareness to mental health & to instill positive outlets into people's lives to combat symptoms.
Ashley shares her story and some tangible advice for simple self-care and mental health aids. We get a little spiritual and discuss the signs we get from the "other side", and overall just keep it real and raw about mental health.

02.02 | Get Rooted in Plants with the Grounded Babes
The Grounded Babes join Kristyn to discuss all things plants: good starter plants, best watering practices, how plants are a great metaphor for life, and more! We discuss it from both ends, science and spiritual. This is a power-packed episode if you desire to become a plant parent!
Claire Natalia is the founder of Grounded Babes! Plants are a huge part of her but she really gravitates toward anything nature related! Born and raised in the desert but meant to be with the ocean… she was definitely a mermaid in a past life!
Renée Lupia is a water-bearer, lesbian plant witch. Lover of astrology and student of life. She knows just enough about most topics to have an opinion one way or another but seldom calls herself an expert.

02.01 | The Healing Girl Era Limited Series
The Shut the Gut Up podcast is back for a limited time, limited series release.
For the next 10 weeks, I will be dropping new episodes every Thursday.
And the theme? Healing girl era.
We are all healing in some form.
I think the healing girl era gets this persona that you’ve recently been broken up with or left a relationship and you’re on a journey back to yourself.
But truthfully, we can “lose ourselves” in this journey of life simply because there are a lot of freaking opinions, contradicting research, changing circumstances, what have you out there and it’s sometimes hard to remember who we are underneath that all. To stick with our personal values and philosophy when the world is set up to make us question ourselves.
So this limited series healing girl era will dive deep into topics like confidence and boundaries, where often the deeper self-work comes into play. But also the metaphorical healing shit, like a bomb-ass episode on keeping plants alive and working with nature, which can so deeply resemble human life.
Thanks for coming along on this journey.

02 | On living authentically through sex work, painted nudes, and polyamory.
Alex grew up religious and is now thriving as a sex worker in a polyamorous marriage. In this episode, we talk about all the topics a lot of society dubs as taboo, including taking your own nudes.
Alex is inspiring and empowering in her ability to not only show up fearlessly as her authentic self but by also encouraging the women in her circle to do the same.
You can find Alex on all platforms @vixen_head.
01 | On doing the thing, even if you're unprepared.
Preparedness isn’t what makes an accomplishment. Launch plans and detailed goals aren’t what makes something worthy of success. And the experience isn’t a requirement to make a difference.
I’m not here to change the masses, but I do hope I can change even one person's life. And by making excuses to not drop this podcast, I’m telling the Universe that I’m not willing to do what it takes to do that.
This podcast will reach those who need to hear it - I trust in that.

EEEP! Welcome to the Shut the Gut Up Podcast... is this real life?
This is the journey outside my comfort zone to a speaking platform because a blog just wasn't cutting it.
STGU is a place to be unscripted and weird as we redefine nutrition, sustainability, and health, break down societal beliefs and develop a personalized wellness philosophy so we can step into full-spectrum wellness rooted in joy and authenticity.
