  • Summary

  • Have you ever stopped to look around and wondered "how did I get here?" You feel like you've been living life on auto-pilot, and your heart tells you there's supposed to be more to it than struggling and just surviving. You know you were put here on Earth to THRIVE, and you're ready - you're like...OVER-ready. But HOW do you even define "thrive?" And once you define it - what's next? Where do you even begin? I've found that a big part of "thriving" is really about getting out of our own way. Yes - you read that correctly. We need to get out of our own way! We need to stop believing the BS we've been told by our families, friends, the media... And we need to stop telling ourselves that same BS, give the middle finger to those limiting beliefs, and start making conscious decisions to shift our mindset and behaviors so that we're no longer functioning in survival mode. Because let's be real - when you're focused on merely surviving - how do you even have space and time for anything else? Friend - I am right there with you! I'm not going to pretend I have all the answers, because I don't. But I'm committed to learning and growing as much as I can, and having as much fun as possible while doing it! Plus, I figure life is usually a bit more enjoyable when you're accompanied by someone who's traveling a similar road. So just think of me as the Louise to your Thelma. My passenger seat's ready and waiting - all you need to do is hop in. So...are you coming? And...this may be a little awkward...but can you pitch in for gas? You can find me at @itsactuallykristi on Instagram, or email me at Kristi@awakentheextraordinary.com. I'd love to connect with you! Seriously!

  • Episode 136: Holiday Edition - The One Where Christmas Is More Griswold Than Hallmark

    Episode 136: Holiday Edition - The One Where Christmas Is More Griswold Than Hallmark
    Dec 25 2023

    Many of us love those cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, right? There's something about the picture-perfect holiday that just gives us the warm fuzzies.

    But a lot of us love The Griswold family and their "Not Quite Hallmark Holiday." Why is that?

    Because for many of us, the holidays depicted in those Hallmark movies are something we aspire to, but the Griswold's "Fun Old-Fashioned Family Christmas" is more realistic.

    It's easy to feel like OUR Christmas Day is the only one that isn't living up to expectations, but I promise you, that is not the case.

    If you've ever felt bummed out on Christmas Day, this episode is for you.

    So go grab a warm beanie, gloves, socks and a blanket, head upstairs to your attic, and give this episode a listen.

    *Disclaimer: Due to the hectic-ness of the holiday, this episode was recorded while en route to the only "mall" we have in Missoula. Just pretend it's me leaving you a long-winded voice note, and you should be good. I guess you could say this podcast episode is more Griswold than Hallmark too. ;)

    OK....I think that's it! Thank you SO much for listening - I really DO appreciate it and I appreciate YOU!

    Episode 135: Holiday Edition - The One With The Story Behind The Story Of "Rudolph"
    Dec 25 2023

    You know the story of "Rudolph," right?

    But do you know the story BEHIND the story of "Rudolph?"

    Did you know that "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" was written by a guy who worked at Montgomery Ward - yes, that old department store - as a promotion for its customers?

    If you didn't know that, or even if you did and are curious to learn more, pull up an ice block, lend an ear, and hit "Play" now.

    And MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  • Episode 134: Holiday Edition - The One Where She Gets Deep About "Rudolph"

    Episode 134: Holiday Edition - The One Where She Gets Deep About "Rudolph"
    Dec 24 2023

    Did you watch that stop-animation movie about "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" as a kid? And if so, have you watched it as an adult? And maybe even as a parent?

    I grew up watching that show, and it holds a very special place in my heart. But watching it as an adult gave me an entirely different perspective on pretty much every character, and I realized Santa, and even Rudolph's parents, kinda sucked!

    There's nothing wrong with being different. In fact, being different is what makes us special and unique.

    Now don't get me wrong. I still LOVE this show, but if you've had a few of these thoughts yourself, I invite you to give this one a listen.

    And if you have no clue what I'm talking about, I also invite you to give this episode a listen!
