Your Imperfect Is Perfect with Candyss Love and Dox Diggla

Podcast Episode Summary

Welcome to today’s episode! It’s called ‘Your Imperfect Is Perfect with Candyss Love and Dox Diggla’.  Mmmmmm, feel those words y’all.  When I feel into aligned, conscious and intentional love, this is where I go.  To the space that these two beautiful soul beings have cultivated through their individual soul growth and union from that sacred foundation.  Just take a moment to imagine if we learned as children through example and the surrounding culture that relationships come and go and are there as teachers for our soul!??  Mmm, mm, mm.  That has been my dream throughout my life, to just fully explore connections without the control, judgement, reaction and imbalance that dominate our evolution in societal programming.  And that runs deep.  I can’t wait for you to feel the words you are about to hear.  They are so intentional and really of the magic that is our birthright to experience.  The breakthrough healing that is coming more and more online for us as we move out of the hamster wheel matrix we were handed.  I do want to reiterate that both Candyss and Dox offer individual soul healing sessions.  You’re about to see why this could be the most precious gift that moves your evolution in profound ways, Babes.

Acupuncture Points of America

Acupuncture Points of America

Episode Summary

Today Beany, Joanne and I talk about their conscious choice to plant roots in this community, where they could acquire land to specifically grow food and health.  They have never stopped making that conscious choice and are enjoying the fruits of their labor now with booming business, building their new home and learning valuable lessons along the way.  We get into the communities in the world known as Blue Zones and the following Blue Zones project that Joanne lead as the project coordinator.  I point out that Beany and Joannne, in their various roles that emanate a frequency of love, are absolutely creating a Blue Zone of their own here in the area.  We take an unexpected and heart warming turn down memory lane, we touch on Beany’s role in the minds of the youth and dive a little bit into the intersection of Spirituality and Religion in all of our lives.  And then we talk about food again.  Because it may just be food that heals the world.  I know that’s where I’ve landed after this inspiring conversation with two beautiful lights I am honored to have as friends.  IF you take anything from today, I do hope that you are inspired to support your local farms, learn about your food, go to farmers markets and begin to eat more seasonally since diversity is beneficial in every aspect of life.

Vanlife, All Roads Lead Back To Me with Candyss Love

Vanlife, All Roads Lead Back To Me with Candyss Love

Episode Summary

Today Candyss and I go super soul deep.  We have a very profound exchange about some of the pivotal moments in Candyss’s life that laid the path toward her soul growth journey, how relationships are our very best teacher and mirror in every way and how embracing our deepest shadow work allows for the greatest light.  We also get into how Candyss is staying present and conscious during her current relationship that is unfolding, the life-changing lessons her dog kid Cleo has gifted her with and the power of humans creating vibrations in this world and the heavens.  Finally, I surprised Candyss with a request to hear her angelic voice, if even just a couple of notes.  What she delivers literally brings heaven into earth by calling in loving spirits from each of our lives.  She brings us into her world of dedicated personal and soul growth in such a loving and vulnerable way. We met soul to soul and I hope it translates out to you in the airwaves.  The light that we created in this conversation is tangible, it’s magnificent and it’s magestic.  This is the divinity of humans having a raw and wild ride on Earth’s plain.

Chris and Taylor Allen are an absolute delight!  They totally radiate love, joy and positivity, even after experiencing some devastating tragedies very early on in their relationship.  We dive into the pillar of their strength together, how they navigated life-threatening hospitalizations, the ways that vanlife has supported them throughout those experiences, vanlife community and diversity and how they leaned into the learning curve of living small and mobile.  We also get to hear their perspective on diversity and representation for people of color in vanlife and how it has evolved and progressed.  They share exciting ideas for supporting others through caravans for representation, an inclusive Ebook about how they’ve done vanlife on their own terms and a developing tour guide business in the works for them.  Seriously, we have such a ball in this episode!  As my inaugural vanlifers for the podcast, I feel immense gratitude we made this connection.  They have such love, openness and beautiful wisdom, there are many areas to draw from in this conversation!

My guest today is the lovely Amy Rehagen!  We are exploring our now mainstream world of online dating from a generation who began romancing IRL and have now been thrust into the age of digital connection.

Show Notes:

We are exploring our now mainstream world of online dating from a generation who began romancing IRL and have now been thrust into the age of digital connection. We are going to discuss the acquired taste of online dating, not just how to survive, but how to thrive in today’s fast-paced, distraction-filled and sometimes isolating world of technology and romance. And we’ll probably hear some really great stories along the way!  I’d like to note that I said the wrong name in regard to The Law of Fuck Yes or No.  It was not coined by Marc Maron, it was coined by Mark Manson.  I like Marc Maron for lots of reasons as well so they are both worth a listen to!

  • How online dating has affected the ability to meet in real life
  • Online dating is a flaky business
  • Sex and the City example
  • Mark Manson’s law of fuck yes or no

  • Elizabeth Gilbert love

  • Difficulty in being present with technology
  • Putting intention into dating profiles and swiping

  • The physical energy of meeting in real life vs. online
  • Bad online dates
  • How do we make online dating work for us in a healthy way?
  • Main rules for self-preservation
  • Being open to all types of human connection in online dating
  • Timing in online dating
  • The value in not settling
  • Finding healthy compromise in relationships
  • Sweet online dating stories
  • Who would your ideal guest be and why?
