Hey Beautiful

What happens when you stop chasing what you think will make you happy and start listening to what truly calls you?
In this inspiring conversation, we welcome Justin Hilton, founder of SafePlace International, whose humanitarian work is transforming lives and empowering leaders across the world. Together, we explore the power of intuition, self-awareness, and living with purpose. Justin reminds us that true fulfillment isn't found in material things, but in following your authentic path and creating a ripple effect of good along the way.To help and learn more about SafePlace International, go to: https://safeplaceinternational.org

🎙️Your sensitivity is not a liability. It’s a superpower the workplace hasn’t learned to value yet.
In this episode of Hey Beautiful, we explore why empaths and highly sensitive people are exactly who we need in leadership - and why we’re losing them. Too many gifted, conscious leaders are burning out and leaving positions where they could make real change. We’re losing the very people who could transform our workplaces and our world, to a system never designed to hold them. We talk about the real pressures of a performance-driven culture, the cost of caring deeply, and how to find your voice, set sustainable boundaries, and create change with your employer.
We don't just talk about the problem; we also explore solutions like opening dialogues, helping people identify how to harness their sensitivity as a strength, and stepping into powerful positions where they can lead differently.
When sensitive people lead families, communities, corporations, or governments, they don’t just improve our lives; they change the world.

✨ WHAT IF INTOLERANCE IS ACTUALLY A GIFT? ✨
 
Not intolerance toward others. But intolerance toward the things that diminish our light, compromise our peace, and keep us from living as our truest selves.
This week on Hey Beautiful, we welcome someone whose words feel like a warm embrace and a gentle awakening all at once: the magical Kati Alexandra. ❤️
 
Inspired by her weekly newsletter, Monday Morning Magic, our conversation explores what happens when we begin guarding our energy, honoring our own magnificence, and allowing others the freedom to be exactly who they are, without judgment.
 
And OH, the wisdom she shares!
Kati has a beautiful way of putting words to things our hearts already know but sometimes need reminding of.
 
This isn't just another podcast episode. It's an invitation to reconnect with yourself, rethink what you tolerate, and remember that you don't have to dim your light to make room for someone else's.

Hey Beautiful! How was your summer?
Our Pod took the summer off and apparently, life had plans for us. ☀️
In our Season 3 comeback, we catch up on a summer filled with challenges, adventures, unexpected connections, and experiences that left us both a little different than when we started. You could even say it was Transformative!
We talk about the moments that inspired us, the ones that stretched us, and the ongoing work of becoming more self-aware and intentional about how we move through life. Roberta also gets personal about beginning EMDR therapy and what she’s learning through the process of revisiting old experiences and understanding herself in a new way.
Because growth doesn’t always happen when we’re looking for it. Sometimes you go away for the summer, live your life…and realize something in you has shifted.

Our 11th and final episode of Season 2 was so fun and gratifying to record! 
Before we take a summer break, join Kristy and Roberta as they take a walk down memory lane, reflecting on the incredible guests who shared their wisdom, stories, and gifts with our community this season. From conversations about mindfulness, leadership, friendship, healing, grief, and personal growth, we're reminded of just how much we've learned together.
We also reflect on our own journey this season, the honest conversations, the challenges, the laughter, and the lessons that come from staying true to ourselves and to each other.
 
You don't want to miss it! 
 
Thank you for being part of the Hey Beautiful community. We hope you enjoy this season finale and have a wonderful summer. We'll see you in Season 3 with the amazing guests we already have lined up! 💛

🎙️ New Episode: 
 
This week, we sat down with our friend Dan Mushalko to hear his deeply personal story about navigating trauma after loss. 
 
With honesty, vulnerability, and remarkable courage, Dan shares what it means to face unimaginable grief, allow the emotions to be felt, and slowly find a way forward. His story is not about getting over loss, but about honoring love, honoring life, and choosing how we carry those we have lost with us.
 
Whether you are navigating grief, trauma, or a difficult season of your own, this conversation offers hope, perspective, and a reminder that healing begins by allowing ourselves to feel.

WE LOVE YOU!!! 

Sometimes the harder we push, the more exhausted and disconnected we become. In this episode, Kristy and Roberta talk about what happens when we fall out of alignment between body, mind, and soul, and how difficult it can be to trust our intuition when life feels heavy and uncertain.
 
We explore the feeling of constantly swimming against the current, questioning whether there are moments in life when we’re meant to stop forcing it, and just float instead, and let ourselves be guided by the tide.
 
This conversation becomes especially personal as we reflect on the emotional weight of caring for aging parents from far away, navigating guilt, worry, helplessness, and the quiet ache of wanting to be in two places at once.
 
This episode is a gentle reminder that alignment doesn’t always come from controlling more, sometimes it comes from listening more deeply.
 
🎧 Tune in for an honest conversation about intuition, surrender, family, and learning to trust ourselves through life’s harder seasons.

Role reversal alert! This week, Roberta turns the mic on her co-host, Kristy Parke, to explore the work behind Radiant Life Consulting and what makes it so transformational. Kristy opens up about her journey from corporate leadership at brands like Marriott and Louis Vuitton to founding a practice that blends Intuitive Coaching and Energy Medicine. She shares how she helps individuals and organizations move beyond burnout and into alignment, clarity, and sustainable success.
But here's what makes her approach different: it's not just strategy and mindset. Kristy works with your energy, and there's real science backing this work. She discusses several fascinating studies, including research showing how energy medicine has positively affected cancer cells in a petri dish (no brain bias involved!), proving this isn't just "woo-woo". It's measurable, powerful, and transformational. From clearing energetic blocks to rewriting your internal dialog, Kristy helps you reconnect with the inner wisdom that guides real, lasting change.
🎧 Tune in for a conversation about bridging the corporate and spiritual worlds, the science of energy medicine, and how to live (and lead) radiantly.

Sometimes the weight we carry isn’t just physical…
We’re resharing one of the most meaningful episodes that we have referred back to time and time again.
In this conversation, we explore the emotional “apples” we pick up throughout life’s past hurts, limiting beliefs, and moments that slowly pull us away from our true essence. Over time, they get heavy. And they don’t just weigh on our hearts… they can show up in our bodies too.
As we continue the conversations around health and wholeness, this episode feels more relevant than ever. Because true transformation isn’t just about what we eat, it’s about what we’re holding onto.
If you’ve ever felt weighed down and didn’t quite know why… this one is for you.
🎧 Tune in and ask yourself: what apples are you ready to drop?

In our last episode of Hey Beautiful, “Obesity – What if it was never your fault?”, we explored the science behind obesity and why it’s not simply a matter of willpower.
In this episode, Kristy and Roberta continue the conversation diving into the role GLP-1 medications can play in treating obesity.
Roberta shares her personal journey… the struggles, the mindset shifts, and the powerful impact this treatment has had on her life.
 
Together, they unpack what GLP-1 truly is: not a miracle pill, and not a shortcut, but a tool that can support real, lasting change when combined with intention and care.
 
This conversation is about understanding your body, releasing shame, and exploring the support that’s available. FINALLY.
