    893. Drop the "good girl" in you + embrace your desires: Spiritual practices to transform shame with Elise Loehnen

    04/08/2026 | 1h 35 mins.
    This conversation with bestselling author Elise Loehnen explores how spiritual practice can help us question the beliefs we've inherited about being a "good woman." Krista + Elise unpack shame, envy, comparison, and desire, revealing how these patterns shape our lives—and how spirituality can become a path back to authenticity.

    Together, they explore the misunderstood story of Mary Magdalene, the origins of the seven deadly sins, and why emotions like envy, anger, and longing aren't flaws to overcome but invitations to deeper self-understanding. Elise shares how questioning old narratives can become one of the most powerful spiritual practices we have.

    From body image + ambition to belonging + purpose, this conversation invites you to rethink the rules you've inherited and embrace a more intentional way of living. If you've ever struggled with comparison, perfectionism, or feeling like you have to be "good" to be worthy, this episode offers a fresh perspective on spirituality, freedom, and self-worth.

    We also talk about:

    The truth about Mary Magdalene that history left out

    How the "good girl" script shows up in everyday life

    Why envy is pointing you toward your next chapter

    Releasing guilt around desire, ambition, and wanting more

    Healing your relationship with food + your body

    The emotional cost of comparison + perfectionism

    How shame disconnects us from our intuition

    Choosing depth over performance in the age of social media

    Finding freedom beyond society's expectations

    Why your triggers may be your greatest teachers

    892. Uncover what's blocking your wealth + self-worth

    30/07/2026 | 1h 34 mins.
    What if your self-worth is shaping what you’re able to manifest? In this episode, Krista sits down with To Be Magnetic’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill to unpack the patterns behind money, abundance, relationships, and the subconscious blocks that may be keeping you from what you truly want.

    From attracting more money to calling in your soulmate, Jessica reveals why your nervous system needs to feel safe enough to hold your next level. They break down manifestation “tests,” wealth consciousness, and what happens when you stop settling for less than you truly desire.

    They also uncover the sneaky ways we self-sabotage—from childhood conditioning and perfectionism to fear of visibility. This conversation will help you reclaim your power, expand your capacity to receive, and rethink everything you know about manifestation.

    We also talk about:

    Manifestation tests + how to recognize them

    Breaking subconscious patterns around money + love

    Building wealth consciousness + an abundance mindset

    Nervous system regulation + expanding your capacity to receive

    Self-worth, boundaries, and trusting what you truly desire

    Manifesting aligned relationships + finding your soulmate

    Childhood conditioning + generational patterns

    Self-sabotage, perfectionism, and analysis paralysis

    Using jealousy + envy as tools for expansion

    Visibility, authenticity, and overcoming the fear of being seen
