I Followed My Intuition Over Logic for 3 Months—Here’s What Happened

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 12:00:00 -0400

For most of my life, I let logic lead. I pushed, hustled, and forced my way toward goals—until I hit rock bottom.

So I made a radical decision: for the next 3 months, I would follow my intuition over logic in everything.

No forcing. No “shoulds.” Just flow.

What happened next?
✨ My income tripled.
✨ My energy came back stronger than ever.
✨ I fell in love with movement again—without punishing my body.
✨ Synchronicities, lucid dreams, and alignment became my new normal.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of the grind, craving deeper trust in themselves, and ready to unlock the power of their feminine energy—no matter your gender.

Hustle Culture Is a Scam; What Self-Growth Really Looks Like

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 14:00:00 -0400

We’ve been told self-growth is about hustle, pushing through pain, and suppressing emotions to get things done.
But the truth? Growth is softer, slower, and far more honest than that.

In this short episode, I share what I’ve learned self-growth really looks like — from crying while cleaning your room to taking days off to protect your energy.
Because it turns out, self-growth isn’t about being tougher. It’s about being truer.
It’s not a grind — it’s a coming home.

Maybe becoming your best self isn’t about adding more… maybe it’s about peeling back to the real you.

If this episode spoke to your soul, be sure to rate this podcast 5 stars. It truly helps more souls like you find these messages! 🌿

Stay awake. Stay aligned.

Everything You Know Is a Lie | Breaking Free from Programming, the Matrix & Returning to Source 🤍

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 17:00:00 -0400

What if everything you believe about success, happiness, and even your identity… was programmed into you?

In Episode 3 of AWAKEN., I’m breaking down how our capitalistic, patriarchal society manipulates us to disconnect from our intuition, our bodies, and our purpose. We’ve been conditioned to believe we are broken—so we buy the “solutions” they sell. But the truth? You were never broken to begin with. You’ve just been programmed to forget your power.

This episode dives into:
🔹 How society programs you from childhood
🔹 The dangers of living in your over-masculinized energy
🔹 Reclaiming your feminine energy, intuition, and discernment
🔹 How to reprogram your beliefs and take your power back
🔹 Why returning to your ancestral wisdom and divine design is the key to real freedom

This isn’t about politics or rebellion—it’s about reconnection. It’s about sovereignty. It’s about remembering who you really are.

✨ Listen until the end for a powerful reminder to question the beliefs you've inherited and start rewriting your truth.

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:00:00 -0500

Trigger Warning: This episode briefly mentions intrusive thoughts and struggles with mental health. If you’re sensitive to these topics, please listen with care.📌 (Skip this part: 17:55-18:19)

The Truth About Healing: Addiction, Protective Selves & Nervous System Regulation

For years, I didn’t realize I was addicted—not to substances, but to escaping my emotions and reality. True healing isn’t just about quitting—it’s about what comes after when you're forced to sit with yourself without numbing.

In this episode, I break down:
✅ The hidden truth about addiction (it’s not just about substances)
✅ How we develop protective selves to avoid deep healing
✅ Nervous system regulation as the key to lasting recovery
✅ The power of shadow work & emotional alchemy

📌 If you’re struggling with addiction, trauma, or PTSD, I highly recommend:

Healing Takes Time – Flow Like Water

Healing looks different for everyone. Whether you’re journaling, meditating, or simply learning to sit with your emotions, honor your own process.

💡 Things that helped me on this journey:

Somatic healing before I could even start journaling
Writing poetry as emotional release before I could process things logically
Small daily actions like remembering to take my vitamins and eating on schedule

🌊 The key to healing? Flow like water. Choose what resonates. Let go of what doesn’t.

Psychedelics for Healing + Meeting God | My Hero Dose Journey

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 00:00:00 -0500

In this episode of Awaken and Align with KP, I share the transformative and deeply personal story of my accidental hero dose of psilocybin. Join me as I recount the challenges, insights, and profound healing that unfolded during this experience. From reconnecting with my ancestors to exploring spiritual dimensions and achieving ego death, this journey taught me lessons about love, source, and the importance of balancing our inner and outer worlds.

Caution: Caution: This podcast is for educational and storytelling purposes only and does not promote or encourage the use of psilocybin or any other substances. Psychedelics can have profound and unpredictable effects on mental health. They can exacerbate existing conditions and may also trigger dormant mental health disorders, including psychosis or bipolar disorder, in individuals who are predisposed. Those with mood disorders, a history of trauma, or any mental health conditions should exercise extreme caution and consult a qualified healthcare professional before considering any psychedelic experiences. Set, setting, and mental preparedness play a critical role in the outcome of such experiences. Please make informed and intentional decisions regarding your well-being.

Whether you're curious about spiritual awakenings, healing from trauma, or the integration of psilocybin experiences, this episode offers a heartfelt narrative about growth, connection, and self-discovery.

Stay tuned until the end, where I read a poem inspired by the experience, channeling insights from higher dimensions.

self healing journey: you will never fully heal. hear me out

Sun, 03 Dec 2023 13:00:00 -0500

Over the past year, self-healing has been a HUGE trend. Let’s talk about the expectations we have when we go into our self-healing journey and reflect on the fact that you will never fully heal. What do I mean by that?

There are layers to healing. And these layers only unfold if we keep living our lives. I’ve found that my biggest revelations come from having more life experiences.

Healing is not a destination, but a continual and beautiful journey. Fall in love with the process of life in all areas again with me and learn how historical radicalism is represented in social media in order to understand a source of our perfectionist natures and unrealistic expectations.

the american nightmare: how our society’s ideas of success play into our diagnoses of depression w/ anxiety coach Tyler Charlebois

Fri, 14 Jul 2023 11:00:00 -0400

This podcast is about the idea of the American dream; how climbing the mountain top to success and living for other peoples' approval is a trap and leaves us feeling more depressed than fulfilled, and how Tyler and I have been navigating what to do in our lives or clients’ lives to avoid this trap and be happy again.

As for my own depression, everything I talked about in this episode helped me start my healing journey and get on a healthier path in my life. I am also still healing inside from trauma and heartbreak that I’ve experienced over the course of my life and will continue to share what I have been doing to heal :) This episode is in no way trying to diagnose or advise people with depression; rather, it’s a perspective from two human beings—one (me), an empath who has undergone trauma, heartbreak and the trap of hustle culture and the American dream, leading her down the path of feeling unfulfilled, demotivated and at a loss for the energy to get out of bed in the morning. And Tyler Charlesboi, the other human being—one who coaches others who experience anxiety on how to reduce their anxiety and control their emotions in order to live happier lives. Hopefully you hear a golden nugget in here that you take with you to improve your life ✨💛 remember - you're in control! You got this.

my experience with anxiety before it was cool

Wed, 17 May 2023 20:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I, KP, talk about my experience with anxiety all the way from before mental health was "accepted" in our society--before it was cool ;) Growing up, we were still taught that struggling with your mental health wasn't something you wanted to show the world and, as a result, this has impacted me in a very specific way. I didn't truly know myself until I learned to accept my anxiety, and because I didn't know myself, I didn't know what I needed for many years. I share my journey with anxiety across my lifetime up until now (how it manifested, how it impacted my relationships, etc.) and how the ways I've coped have helped or worsened it, all with an intention to help you on your journey.

disclaimer: I am not a doctor or a mental health professional so none of this is advice. it is all just part of my story. take what resonates and leave the rest.

0:00-0:27 intro

0:28-3:01 the relevance, increase and destigmatization of anxiety in our current and everyday society

3:02-5:08 what forced relaxation because of a concussion and a 4 week social media break taught me

5:09-9:20 how my anxiety started and how it showed up in childhood (3 core memories + empathy)

9:21-16:18 how my anxiety manifested in high school + being unaccepted, starting adhd medication

16:19-20:10 how not fitting in and being an influencer contributed to my anxiety

20:13-22:43 the perks of being an influencer + haters and projection (but overthinking a post because of perfectionism was a huge stressor that I forgot to mention…perfectionism can induce anxiety but also come with its perks because of how carefully you think before you do things and how high quality what you produce is)

22:44-28:29 dieting, panic attacks & disassociation

28:30-33:50 how toxic relationships exacerbated my anxiety + choosing the right qualities for future friendships

33:51-36:23 coping mechanisms that DID NOT work for my anxiety

36:24-40:26 coping mechanisms that WORK for my anxiety

40:27-40:55 daily habits to prevent anxiety

40:56-41:36 my personal approach with prescription drugs

41:37-41:59 microdosing shrooms

42:00- closing thoughts, validation and all my love <3 :)

xoxo,
KP
