Connections with Krista

Just a person running straight into (and hopefully through) a fear of being perceived by talking into a microphone and uploading it online. Hi, I'm Krista, let's connect :)

Happy October :) today I'm just talkin about stuff I've learned by doing the opposite.

My brother Drew gets candid about having autism and we conclude with an epic finale about when Drew was my silent knight in shining armor by being a dick at Dick's Sporting Goods (what else are you supposed to do there?).

Today I let you in on what I've been noticing lately. This is a quick one, but, still, another one! Thinking of making this a series, because noticing stuff is a thing I do pretty regularly... you know?

This topic is reigniting an urge to restart the book I began when I was a kid! Today I introduce you to Shadow Man, a dark figment of my own psyche, and we dive into the subject of dreamscapes! 

Sweet dreams... <3

What are dating red flags? Today my mom and I take turns naming attributes we would be less than excited about the other one bringing home in another person. 

If we don't like it then we will not put a ring on it... uh, uh, oh... uh, uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh :/

It gets pretty personal in this one when I decide to challenge myself and practice openness by randomly flipping to pages in my journals and reading them aloud. Meet me in different seasons, on varying kinds of days. And take a gentle reminder that the human experience is so much more than a highlight reel.

Scary stuff... :) 

p.s. sorry for spotty audio at some points in this episode (true to its imperfect nature I suppose) also HAPP...

Wanna meet a growing small business owner, musician, visionary, mother, wife, and Angry Farmer? Talk about multifaceted; I am still hunting for things Jess hasn't done... 

Well, thank you, Jess, for a historical moment of being the first long distance participant on this podcast. There's not enough time in the world for all the wisdom and stories you have to share, so I guess this hour will have to do (for now).

Check Jess ...

Anyone else take the tooth fairy too far? Just me? This episode I fill you in on what's new in a season of change and reminisce on the kind of child I was. I touch on how I have changed, and also not really at all.

This is an unarchived episode that I recorded, uploaded, and unpublished because it made me nervous. I decided in season two to stand by it and share it.

Admittedly, this isn't the lightest story to tell but it's been constructive in a way that has strengthened my resolve. When we hear about "true crime", typically it's in a detached tone for the purpose of mere entertainment. I think the more we are open ab...

Joining me this week is MJ, Matti Joy (find her @pucc.io)! Although she mentioned her self proclaimed "sad clown" energy, she is also such an expressive, fierce, powerful human out here making the gays cry. In this one, we talk about musicianhood, showing up in relationships, self discovery, flip phones, and not taking shortcuts to getting to the root of things.

She can pack a punch in 30 minutes, right?? Thank you MJ!

Buckle up! Accompany me in the journey that is hanging out with Caitlin. It typically takes many shapes, twists and turns and never lacks depth. 

Topics covered on this one include: Invisible Thread Events, planning your own funeral, boobs, being unable to keep a job, divorce, parenting, and so much more. This was a juicy one. Thank you, Cait :)

Look into Caitlin, or else...

Happy Birthday to my Mama! If my mom hadn't been born, then you wouldn't be able to join me this week for another collective tarot reading, where I get the honor of tapping into the general energy of whoever is listening in. I hope something struck you :)

Ah, the things people don't talk about when it comes to car camping...I share a few tricks I've learned car camping alone as a single woman. Car camping can be fun as long as you're safe when doing it (trust me, I have my stories). P.S. Happy Spring :)

Join my brother and mom for a spontaneous and earnest conversation. We discuss moving, breakups, driving big trucks, surprises, alcoholism, dropping heavy rocks, and ultimately doing the best we can. For me, this conversation brought to light how momentum, progress, and healing are nonlinear and custom to individual experience, yet deeply interconnected at the familial level. 

Thank you for listening :)

Good morning! Join me as I wake up and list the little things people do that amuse me. (There are a lot of them, and I could've just kept going.) Instead of only talking about what makes people tick, we should also make room for what tickles our fancy (hehe). So this is me doin that. Try it- it's kinda fun.

Thank you for listening :)

Happy Sunday! In this one I talk about the fact that when my mom told me I was a huge quitter, she had no clue I was just getting started. Here's a brief thought on quitting shamelessly including a list of my many trial ventures. In a somewhat abrupt conclusion, I wrap things up with what nobody mentions regarding boundaries.

Thank you for listening :)
