Shut the Gut Up

Krystyl and Hannah are two best friends and small business owners, who recently started a new community group, Noco Girls Collective. The collective is centered around making new friends and having fun in the Northern Colorado area. They understand that finding strong female friendships during the in-between phases of life can be a challenge, which is why they wanted to create a space that makes that a little easier! 

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.

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.

Leslie Medley and Kristyn have an in-depth conversation about breathwork and the physiological, emotional, and energetic transformations that can come from participating in breathwork sessions.

Leslie helps healing and awakening women integrate deep wounds into embodied wisdom to experience a liberated life. She uniquely integrates the ancient, time-tested teachings of the East, guiding embodiment experiences & experiential learning in a way that disrupts the "norm" and empowers you to create a life your soul came here to live.

Breaking down what human design is, what you can learn about yourself through human design, what all the parts of your chart mean, andddd going over Kristyn's chart as an example of what it can do for you!

Sydney Cutler- abeech (she/her) shares her experience with Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep. One session can feel like 3-4 hours of sleep, whattt?!

We dive deep into resting in a world that rewards busyness, dismantling sleep deprivation, and reclaiming rest as our birthright.

Breaking down what it looks like to consume meat consciously, how to make decisions around diet and nutrition, and how to vet health information.

Shelby Rose and I riff on tuning into energetic experiences to heal the physical body, and how nutrition and energetics are more connected than people think.

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.

Special thanks to:

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.
