Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff with Kristine Carlson

This week, as part of the What Now? Series, Kristine Carlson offers a transformational episode dedicated to the art of self-discovery. You’ll learn how to recognize the “small self”(the ego that labels and boxes you in) and how to lovingly shift your awareness toward your true self, the part of you aligned with soul, spirit, and source.  

You’ll get practical insights for returning to the present moment, cultivating gratitude, and trusting your inner wisdom. Discover why the voice of your highest self is a gentle whisper of love, in contrast to the ego’s loud, critical narratives of 'not-enoughness.'

If you’re yearning for deeper self-compassion, peace, and authenticity, bring these practices into your daily life. Practice returning to the present with breath, hand to heart, and the simple reminder: “I am safe. I am loved.” 

After listening, you’ll feel reconnected, centered, and empowered to shine your authentic light, no matter what comes your way!

This week, Kristine Carlson welcomes Lauren Ray for a heartfelt conversation about transformation, resilience, and starting anew. Lauren, a former veterinary neurosurgeon and founder of Blue Fox Farm, opens up about her journey through loss, emotional healing, and rediscovering her authentic self. 

Listen in for inspiration on navigating life’s unexpected turns, the power of plant medicine in personal renewal, and creating spaces for healing and connection.

You can find Lauren’s book  “Haute Couture to Oat Couture: A Memoir of Transformation” at Amazon. And subscribe to Mama Farmette Substack.

This week in the What Now? Series, Kristine Carlson explores the transformative principle: Where your attention goes, energy flows. Discover mindful strategies for protecting your energy, letting go of unnecessary worries, and intentionally focusing on what truly nourishes your soul. Receive practical tools for moving through emotional triggers and grounding yourself in self-compassion as you align with your highest self. Thanks for listening!
