229| Purpose, Emotional Trauma, Self-Care vs Narcissism, Spiritual Bypass with Mastin Kipp

I met Mastin Kipp in 2014 at his book signing in Detroit. He told me then to stop consuming his work and the work of other self-help personalities and start focusing on my own creative work. Since then, I've done just that. I've spent less time developing myself and more time being myself as I am, or at least trying to. It was great to reconnect with Mastin and talk about the new direction of his work which is now mainly is focused on helping people go deeper into their emotional trauma and figuring out their purpose when they feel lost. We also talked in this episode about my compulsion of using spirituality and personal growth as "spiritual entertainment" without actually implementing it, we get into comparison, and the thin line between self care and self indulgence, plus he gives some of the best relationship advice I’ve ever received.

LilSpace

I’m super excited to share LilSpace App with you. They are a new app that is 100% in alignment with a lot of what I’ve been talking about lately around the need to balance use of technology and social media. The LilSpace app is all about building a community around taking breaks from our phones so we can feel connected even when we are disconnected from technology. The app helps you break bad phone habits and develop some healthier ones by rewarding you for the time you spend disconnected. You can also Unplug to support causes and earn rewards. It’s totally cool and inspires you to put away your phone, be present, mindful, and live your best life.

AND for the month of July you can join the "Let It Out Podcast Listener Challenge" where we will track our time unplugged as a group. Until the end of this month, lilspace will donate $1 for every hour tracked in our "Let It Out Podcast group" to the RealGirl organization which supports guiding girls towards reaching their highest potential. Here's how: 1) Download the lilspace app for iphone or android, 2) search in the app for the "Let It Out Podcast" and 3) let's unplug together for a great cause!

To get started right now just search for the LilSpace app
or go to GetLilSpace.com to download it to your phone

FLEX

Being on your cycle isn’t always something I (or we gals) look forward to every month. But I’m super excited to share with you a new product that really makes being on your period much more comfortable as well as symptom and stress free. FLEX is a disposable disc (not cup) that is easy to insert into your vagina, can be worn for up to 12 hours and is super comfortable (you really forget you are using any menstrual product at all!). PLUS it is one of the only menstrual products designed since the 1930’s (yep… you read right) which was designed specifically by women for the modern woman in a way that fits your body, and lifestyle. FLEX is truly an innovative product that can relieve cramping; works against leaks, odor, and irritation and even allows for mess-free period sex.
