Navigating Trauma - Finding Light After Loss

🎙️ 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.

Learning to Trust the Current

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.

Turning the Mic on Kristy - Intuitive Coaching & Energy Medicine Explained

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.

REMIX - From Dropping Rotten Apples to Growing New Seeds

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?

Support! Not Shame: Understanding GLP-1

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. 
 
🎧 Listen now and join the conversation.

Obesity – What If It Was Never Your Fault?

For so many of us, the story has been the same: try harder, eat less, do better… and when it doesn’t work, assume it’s our fault.
What if the reason nothing worked… isn’t because you didn’t try hard enough?
 
In this deeply personal episode, Roberta shares her journey with obesity and the moment everything started to shift. Drawing from what she learned from the book Weightless, by Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, she unpacks the science behind obesity as a disease, and why our bodies fight to stay at a certain weight.
 
Kristy and Roberta also open up about their own struggles, the frustration, the shame, and the years of trying to “get it right.”
 
This conversation is about understanding, compassion, and finally letting go of the belief that you’ve failed. It is NOT your fault!
 
🎧 Tune in and stay with us for the next episode in a couple of weeks, where Roberta shares her experience with GLP-1 and how it is changing everything! 

Rewriting the Stories That Hold Us Back — with Carla Morelli

In this episode, we welcome our dear friend Carla Morelli, a certified practitioner of Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), for a conversation about the power of uncovering and shifting the beliefs that quietly shape our lives.
Carla walks us through what RTT is (also known as hypnotherapy), how it works, and why this approach has been helping people break through long-held patterns and limitations. We also share our own experiences with RTT, and the powerful shifts we each experienced through the process. Most, lifechanging! 
This episode is fascinating and personal, offering a glimpse into how understanding the subconscious mind can open the door to meaningful change.
 
🎧 Tune in to learn more about RTT, hear real-life experiences, and explore how the stories we’ve carried for years might not have to define our future.

Talking about the Tough Stuff...

In this deeply personal episode, we talk candidly about a recent rift to our friendship that grew out of big emotions, different ways of processing the world, and the weight of what’s happening around us right now. One of us feels deeply, loudly, and with urgency. The other feels quietly, with sadness, reflection, and enduring hope. When those differences collided, it created distance instead of understanding. 
What happens when two longtime friends feel the same world very differently?
You talk. You listen. You apologize. You choose each other. 
Our most personal episode yet is out now. For anyone navigating friendship in complicated times, tune in for a raw, real discussion about friendship, boundaries, hope, and choosing each other even when it’s hard.

Leadership That Fits — with Dr. David Chinsky

What if leadership wasn’t about pushing harder, but about becoming whole?
 
This week Kristy and Roberta sat down with Dr. David Chinsky, a leadership coach, and founder of the Institute for Leadership Fitness who has spent three decades inside some of the world’s most complex organizations, helping more than 8,000 leaders sharpen how they think, act, and show up. David doesn’t teach leadership as a checklist. He teaches it as a fitness, something you build, strengthen, and sustain over time.
 
In this conversation, David breaks down the four pillars behind his Fit Leader’s model:Clarity (cutting through noise to set a direction people actually follow),Confidence (quieting the inner static that holds leaders back),Effectiveness (turning ideas into movement), andVitality (the energy and stamina to stay in the game for the long haul).
 
We talk about what he learned from years inside Ford, Nestlé, Trinity Health, and Thomson Reuters, and why so many high‑potential leaders burn out before they break through. David shares the habits that keep leaders grounded, the blind spots that derail them, and the simple shifts that make leadership feel lighter, not heavier.
 
🎧 If you want to lead with more intention and more impact, this episode is a masterclass in building the kind of leadership that lasts.
