This book covers many different themes, including what a healthy world could look like if we shift to believing in radical self-love and radical compassion. This book is unique in exploring these concepts through the context of different bodies, different ideologies, and different lives. Join us as we reflect on the most inspiring and challenging themes in the book. It’s a powerful conversation we believe all women should have, and we hope you’ll join the conversation with us on Instagram @beyondcuriouspod.Maya & KaraBeyond Friendship Breakups and Boundary SettingBeyond Friendship Breakups and Boundary SettingGet full show notes and more information at: beyondcuriouspod.com

We’re talking about friendship breakups and how we’ve each learned to process the emotions that arise from them. We’re programmed to feel a certain sense of loyalty to our friends from an early age, but we’re not often equipped with the skills needed to build healthy, lasting relationships. In this episode, we explore our personal experiences with friendship breakups and discuss the underlying emotions that are difficult to face. This is a challenging conversation but one we’re both happy to have created time and space for. How about you? What has your experience been with friendships ending, and how have you healed from those painful moments.

We linked up with our friend April Monique, a visibility coach and healer for soul-led women who are ready to be fully seen. She guided us through an intense and deeply profound experience that has since led to many conversations. The reading comprised of two sections; we first did individual energy readings and pulled Tarot, and then did a combined friendship reading. Tune in to hear how our friendship has developed over lifetimes and what that means for us going forward. You’ll listen to how April Monique feels our friendship is associated with yellow, daisies, and childlikeness, as well as sixes and ones, and what all this means. You’ll also hear about our reflections on trust, fear, resistance, and the uncomfortable nature of true intimacy. If you’re thinking of having a friendship reading, don’t miss this opportunity to have a peek into ours!Maya & KaraBeyond Your Gratitude JournalBeyond Your Gratitude JournalGet full show notes and more information at: beyondcuriouspod.com

Do a simple google search for “gratitude challenge,” and you’ll get endless results, but do they help you experience genuine gratitude? That’s the challenge we gave ourselves this week, and we invite you to join us as we process our experiences and share our insight on the challenge. We share our thoughts on experiencing gratitude as an individual and how different that is from experiencing gratitude in community. If you’ve been curious about how you can bring more gratitude into your life, join us on this challenge. We’d love to hear from you and your experience with implementing a practice of gratitude in your life.Maya & KaraBeyond Sharing Your Happy PlaceBeyond Sharing Your Happy PlaceGet full show notes and more information at: beyondcuriouspod.com

We are constantly talking about things that we love and bring us joy, but it's a whole other level when you stop and you take a moment to get into your friend’s favorite activity. In this episode, we literally traded something that we like in our lives and ask each other to actually take a chance on our activity. Likely, we have very different tastes and interests so we easily had something unique to share with each other. You’ll hear about Maya’s journey into comics and Kara’s experiment with morning pages in the afternoon.Maya & KaraBeyond Swiping RightBeyond Swiping RightGet full show notes and more information at: beyondcuriouspod.com

This week’s challenge was to put ourselves out there on the apps and go on one date. In today’s episode, we spill the tea about our past relationships, our experiences with online dating, and how our priorities have shifted as we have gotten older. We also touch on ‘swiping in the suburbs’ and share what our immediate ‘swipe-lefts’ are. All this and so much more in today’s episode of Beyond Curious!

We challenged ourselves to commit to finding ways to invest in our community despite the realities of currently living through a global pandemic. You’ll hear how we each approached the challenge differently from what inspired us to action to the struggles we each feel with the nonprofit sector overall. This experience rooted us both back into our core values and gave us both the accountability we need to get reconnected. We’re both so grateful for the opportunity to do this together and to share with you the amazing organizations we are featuring in this episode. If you’ve also been feeling disconnected from your community and would like to try this challenge, check out the organizations that we explored. There are so many ways you can get involved.
