She laments the lack of honest conversations about the reality of pregnancy and reveals how unprepared she felt for the discomfort, nausea, and exhaustion she suffered from throughout all three trimesters.

However, she also speaks of her shock and distress when the doctor at her first check-up abruptly informed her that he couldn’t find a heartbeat. Confused about what was happening inside her body and facing an agonizing wait for results, Krista talks about the moment she realized something was going badly wrong. She recounts her lonely wait to be seen in ER and describes the bleeding, cramps, and projectile vomiting she endured during her miscarriage. Despite everything she’s been through, Krista wants her listeners to know she’s doing well. She’s developed a deep appreciation for the power of the female body, found an incredible new doctor, and is looking forward to becoming pregnant again when the time feels right.

Episode 84: The Art of Consistency with Gay Hendricks

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 08:00:39 GMT

Krista sits for a second time with Gay Hendricks. Gay is a psychologist, author, and public speaker whose latest book, The Genius Zone: The Breakthrough Process to End Negative Thinking and Live in True Creativity, will be published in June. As a lifelong meditator, Gay knows that looking inwards, accepting the full spectrum of our emotions, and getting clear on what makes us happy can help us access our natural creativity. He believes that everyone has a spark of genius inside them: we just need to ask ourselves the right questions to bring it to the surface. Gay encourages listeners to dedicate more time to their creativity and suggests taking the time to sit quietly alone for ten minutes and think about what inspires them and what they most love to do. Although he has appeared on numerous TV shows, including Oprah, Gay thinks of himself as a writer who speaks rather than a speaker who writes. He describes how he likes to dedicate the first few hours of the morning to his writing and reveals how the Covid pandemic has motivated him to move more of his courses and seminars online.

He is now the co-owner of Vestmap, an app that provides real estate investors with data to make informed decisions about their property investments.

Episode 82: Evolving with Grace with Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik

Thu, 01 Apr 2021 08:00:18 GMT

Krista interviews Lindsey Simcik and Krista Williams, the hosts of the Almost 30 podcast. Lindsey and Krista are leaders, disruptors, change-makers, and vulnerable human beings who share their learnings and experiences through their podcasts, courses, music, and words. Today, they talk about how they manage to stay true to themselves and keep their community onboard as they change and evolve as people. Lindsey describes how she takes time to integrate her experiences before sharing them so she can speak from a healed and grounded place, and Krista reveals that her priority is not the size of her Instagram following or the success of her brand but the ability to live in harmony with her authentic self.

They are both super-grateful for the kindness and support they get from their online community. However, they have learned not to take either the positive or the negative comments they receive too personally, and as influencers, they have resisted the opportunity to speak on topics that are outside of their area of expertise. Lindsey has recently embarked on a solo venture, the Sacredness of Being Single program, and both she and Krista are excited about the opportunity to express themselves individually while still being part of a supportive business.

In this episode, Krista catches up with her mental health buddy Cori Orak. Cori is an extroverted-introvert, an empath, a fellow anxiety sufferer, and a mental health advocate. She is also the co-owner of the artisanal travel bag company, Ethnotek. Krista and Cori were introduced to each other by Emory Hall and, although Cori has been living in Bali since the pandemic began, she has kept in touch with Krista regularly and supported her through her struggles with anxiety.

In today’s show, Cori opens up about the loneliness of being an entrepreneur and explains how the pandemic has caused additional stress in her personal and professional life. She describes how she has learned to give herself permission to feel emotional and vulnerable and has made an effort to understand and manage her energy. As an empath (and a woman who works with her husband), Cori understands the need to spend some time alone. She also knows how to say no to people and set boundaries that prevent others from making unreasonable demands on her energy and time. To help others benefit from her experience in life and business, Cori has started mentoring startups and holding accountability meet-ups. In her capacity as a mentor, she advises small business owners on how to plan for and handle sustainable growth. Both Cori and Krista advocate for a more balanced approach to business. They understand the importance of leaving space for themselves and taking measures to avoid the burnout and exhaustion that can occur as a result of chronic overwork.

Thu, 04 Mar 2021 09:00:59 GMT

Krista speaks with Krystal Kitahara and Kristine Freeman from Yummi Karma, an all-woman cannabis company based in Orange County, California. Yummi Karma aims to normalize the use of cannabis, and Krystal, the company’s founder, describes how its first tincture, Drift Away (a dreamy mixture of magnesium, melatonin, chamomile, lavender, and cannabis), was initially devised to treat her mother’s insomnia.

Today, Yummi Karma produces a wide range of tinctures and lotions designed to soothe the mind, body, and soul. Krystal is particularly proud of the products it makes for women, and marketing manager Kristine Freeman, explains how its skincare lotions have been designed to look, smell, and feel like they come from a high-end beauty store but contain the added bonus of beneficial cannabinoids. As someone who has used marijuana to self-medicate since she was a teenager, Krista reflects on how the culture (and the law) around cannabis have changed and how microdosing has made it easier and healthier for her to use it to alleviate her anxiety.

Thu, 11 Feb 2021 09:00:40 GMT

In today’s episode, Krista invites her Operations Manager and right-hand woman, Katy Annulli, to talk about what it’s like to work for Authentic Audience and to tell listeners about her own business, KMA Organizing, which provides comprehensive virtual and in-person organizing services. Katy and Krista first met through Thumbtack, where Krista (feeling overwhelmed by the practicalities of running a business) had posted an ad for an admin assistant. Krista was immediately impressed by Katy’s air of calm confidence and Katy quickly realized that Krista could benefit from her ability to bring order into chaos. Three years later, Katy (whose discreet personality and practical expertise are the perfect foil for Krista’s vision and intuition), has become an integral part of the Authentic Audience team.

As a professional organizer and a small business owner, Katy’s mission is to support women by giving them the skills and the structures they need to run their businesses more efficiently. You can hire her to set up a bookkeeping system and instruct you on how to maintain it. She can help you with records management, office organization, and digital and physical decluttering.

Episode 72: The Business of Breathing with Samantha Skelly

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 09:00:39 GMT

Krista talks about transformation and healing with Samantha Skelly, the founder of Pause Breathwork and Hungry for Happiness. Samantha describes how she used breathwork to recover from an eating disorder and how, as her relationship with food evolved, she decided to shift her focus from helping women who struggle with disordered eating and body image issues to creating breathwork programs that are designed to relieve anxiety, release suppressed emotions, and develop intuition.

Samantha’s enthusiasm for breathwork has enabled her to build an authentic and intimate connection with her clients and she is a passionate advocate for the practice, which she believes is unparalleled in its ability to still our minds and connect us back to our bodies. Samantha also explains why some self-help practices aren’t helpful and she criticizes the current tendency to focus on simply shifting mindsets rather than adopting a more holistic approach to facilitating positive change by strengthening the mind-body connection. At Krista’s request, Samantha ends the show with a live demonstration of a simple but powerful breathing exercise.

Episode 71: Calling All Shy Girls with Kelsey Lettko

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 09:00:26 GMT

Today Krista talks with life coach Kelsey Lettko about her mission to help people live full, happy, and purposeful lives. Kelsey’s goal is to see her client’s truth, hold their vision, and design a path to bring that vision to life. She helps people remember who they are and make the transition from an unfulfilled life to one filled with purpose, authenticity, and joy. Before becoming a coach, Kelsey trained as a dancer, a yoga teacher, and a Reiki Master, and she also just happens to be Krista’s little sister.

However, unlike Krista, Kelsey is quiet and intentional; an extroverted introvert who loves to talk and connect with people but who gets her fuel from being alone. After completing her yoga teacher training in the Hawaiin jungle, Kelsey decided to start trusting her intuition and create a life that was truer to herself and her values. Today, she teaches online yoga and dance classes from her home on a boat in California, and through her coaching programs, she helps people connect with their power and work towards fulfilling their potential. Kelsey’s desire to be of service inspired her to overcome her natural shyness and she urges other shy girls to give themselves permission to expand, take up space, and start living fully engaged and authentic lives.

Hayley’s confidence, her desire to speak her truth, and her determination to manifest the life she knows she deserves are inspiring.

However, she is also clear about the importance of setting virtual boundaries to protect herself from intrusive and potentially triggering comments. Surprisingly, Hayley reveals that, although she’s completely comfortable sharing intimate details about herself online, letting her guard down and allowing herself to be silly in real-life situations can make her feel very vulnerable.

Episode 69: Amplify Your Voice with Luka Lesson

Thu, 31 Dec 2020 09:00:14 GMT

Krista speaks with poet and storyteller Luka Lesson about his poetry, his activism, and his inspiration. Luka provides insights into his writing process and describes the role that critical thinking plays in the creation of his poetry. As an Australian of Greek descent, he talks about how his work is influenced by the epic poems and rich mythology of Ancient Greece and how poetry enables him to connect with himself and the wider community. Luka believes that the best poetry comes from a vulnerable and uncomfortable place and he explains how his skills and experience as a performance poet help him to help others find their voice and express themselves through the spoken and written word. He is currently working on a hip-hop version of Homer’s Odyssey, which will be performed in English and Greek, and was influenced by Krista’s favorite musical, Hamilton.

Prior to the outbreak of Covid, Luka traveled the world performing his poetry, running educational workshops, and offering poetry retreats in his ancestral village on the Greek island of Rhodes.

They talk about the reasons why the traditional masculine business model too often leads to stress and exhaustion and Anastasia gives some advice about healing rather than recovering from burnout. Anastasia also explains how rapid transformation therapy, (a hybrid of traditional hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming), works and how it can help release trauma and low-vibration energy that has been stored deep in the subconscious mind.

Thu, 10 Dec 2020 09:00:49 GMT

Krista’s guest this week is Louisa Ziane who, along with environmental campaigner Tristram Stuart, co-founded Toast Ale, a company that turns surplus bread into beer.

Toast Ale is a certified B Corps and a social enterprise that donates its profits to charities that are focused on transforming the food system.

Louisa’s dedication to the cause means that she is strongly in favor of a circular economy where companies turn the waste streams from their production processes into marketable by-products. She also encourages individuals to buy only what they need and to eat everything they buy.

Nick describes the mechanism of synchronicity, the state of flow that occurs when he’s living wholly in alignment with his highest self, and discusses how to attract financial abundance by focusing on the freedom and emotionally enriching experiences that money can bring. After achieving financial success and fulfilment in his personal life, Nick’s current manifestation practice concentrates on uncovering new levels of awareness and he loves sharing his expertise with others through the Power Manifesting Collective, an online membership group that aims to build the most vibrationally aligned community on the planet.

Eric is convinced that it is the small things we do every day that make the most difference and he stresses the importance of committing to intangible goals such as working towards inner peace by developing a daily meditation practice. Through his Learn Gong Fu Tea online course, he hopes to inspire more people to make tea drinking part of their self-care regime.

Episode 57: The Business of Energy with Allison Eaton

Thu, 08 Oct 2020 07:00:16 GMT

In today’s show, Krista catches up with her yoga teacher, Reiki master, friend and mentor, Allison Eaton. Allison has been teaching Reiki, yoga and meditation for 14 years and she certified Krista as a Level 1 Reiki practitioner during her yoga teacher training in Hawaii in 2016. Since then, Krista has gone on to receive further attunements and she is now a Reiki Master, who uses the healing power of Reiki every day to balance her energy, clear her chakras and deepen her spiritual awareness.

Allison explains that Reiki, which originated in Japan, means universal life force energy and is a stress-reduction technique that is administered by the laying-on of hands. She describes the process of tuning into the life force and transferring it to the person receiving the treatment, knowing that the energy will always provide exactly what is needed in the way of physical, emotional or spiritual healing. Reiki can be used to heal yourself, treat others, sharpen your intuition and deepen your connection to source. It can bring courage, calm, and peace of mind. To continue to be of service during the Covid pandemic, Allison now offers online Reiki training and virtual Reiki treatments, which are just as effective and powerful as her in-person sessions.

In this show, Krista catches up with branding guru Shayne Mackay, who was her first and most influential mentor. Four years ago, when Krista was considering quitting her job and getting into marketing, she had a profound conversation with Shayne which changed the course of her life. As a successful, powerful woman in business with over 25 years of experience in marketing, advertising, and magazine publication, Shayne understands the importance of having a voice for the generations of women coming up behind her and she is happy to share her expertise and knowledge. She realizes that many people, particularly women, experience difficulty with putting a value on themselves and their services, and explains that the key to understanding your value lies in looking deeply, critically and objectively at yourself and really understanding what it is you bring to the table.

Her main advice for aspiring marketing professionals is to realize that each brand is unique and that a one-size fits all strategy will rarely be successful. In Shayne’s opinion, marketing is all about giving birth to a brand, bringing it to market and helping it grow, and she is looking forward to seeing how much the industry will evolve and change as it seeks to interact with consumers in a different way.

Krista’s guest for this episode is Denzel Allen, a physical educator, the founder of Power of Strength, and a firm believer in lifelong learning. As a former D1 footballer, Denzel is fully aware of the positive effect of exercise on his wellbeing and he is pleased to be able to provide a service that helps his clients build increased strength, cultivate a growth mindset and lead physically active lives. Krista and Denzel discuss the value of getting vulnerable and comfortable with their truth and Denzel reveals that his diaries are so brutally honest he would only let others read them after he dies. They talk about transparency, authenticity, and the importance of being accepted and loved for who they are rather than who they pretend to be.

In the wake of George Floyd’s killing and the Black Lives Matter protests, Denzel encourages us all to hold a mirror up to ourselves and examine what stereotypical messages we have absorbed about race and gender through social conditioning and the media. He talks about the concept of privilege and explains how making a conscious effort to appreciate the disadvantages that someone might face simply due to their race could lead to a greater sense of empathy and inspire us to actively challenge racist attitudes. As a black business owner, he is encouraged by the support he has received from his local community and hopes that the recent calls for increased awareness, transparency, and accountability will result in a more enlightened and anti-racist society.

Episode 46: Music and Perseverance with Mark Johnson

Thu, 04 Jun 2020 07:00:47 GMT

For this week’s episode Krista is joined by Mark Johnson, award-winning music producer, filmmaker, and co-creator of Playing for Change, a movement which aims to unite people through music. Mark explains how the idea for Playing for Change came to him in a subway station in New York when he noticed a diverse group of people gathered around a couple of busking monks. In that moment, he realized that some of the best music in the world could be heard in the subway rather than in the studio and that when the music was playing the barriers that normally divide people disappeared. That experience inspired Mark to bring his studio recording equipment to the streets and he set out on a journey across America recording and filming street musicians. Later, the concept of Songs Around the World was born, and a small crew began traveling the world creating a virtual collaboration between musicians. Today, Playing for Change is approaching one billion views on its YouTube channel and has established the Playing for Change Foundation, a nonprofit organization which provides free music education programs in eleven countries.

Mark believes that the unique ability of music to move us lies in its power to speak to the heart and help people realize they are not alone. Most importantly, music transcends barriers of race, religion and gender and can be a profound source of solace and joy in a divided world. As well as showcasing the talent of street musicians, Playing for Change works with established artists such as Ringo Starr and Bono, and one of Mark’s proudest moments came when Keith Richards contacted him to feature in a Song Around the World. Mark continues to thrive on the challenge of recording live music in far-flung, and often dangerous, places. His motto is success through perseverance, and he believes that good things will happen if you just keep going. His next step will be to organize an online Playing for Change Music Festival with performances from musicians, poets, and students from the Playing for Change schools.

Episode 45: Scale Your Impact with Jake and Cori Orak

Thu, 28 May 2020 07:00:58 GMT

In this episode, you’ll hear from Jake and Cori Orak, the couple behind Ethnotek, a social enterprise that aims to preserve textile cultures by bringing beautiful artisan-made laptop bags and backpacks to a worldwide market. Jake explains how Ethnotek was inspired by the solo motorbike trip he made to the northern highlands of Vietnam where he first encountered the Hmong people and fell in love with the intricate embroidery and rich colors of their traditional textiles. As a designer, Jake’s interest was piqued, and over the next few years he worked on an idea to integrate artisanal designs and hand-made textiles into functional items.

Today, the company works with artisans in Vietnam, India, Indonesia, Guatemala, and Ghana to create striking handcrafted laptop, camera, and travel bags. Their collaboration helps to provide employment for traditional craftspeople and preserve skills that are in danger of dying out due to lack of local demand. Jake’s intention was to create a different and distinctive product, and the uniqueness of his design combined with Ethnotek’s ethical mission, gives him the confidence to set himself apart from the competition and increases his bargaining power in negotiations. He continues to be confident about the future of ethical brands in a post-Covid world, believing that the experience of the pandemic will bring about a change in consumer mindset and lead to an increased demand for brands with ethical and sustainable credentials.

As a couple who work remotely and run a business together, Cori and Jake have learned to create clearly defined roles, set appropriate boundaries, and remind each other that they are on the same team. Together, they have built a bold and beautiful brand, and acquired a loyal group of customers who are proud to be part of the Ethnotek tribe.
