Join co-hosts, Chris & Kelley, as they seek conversations that stimulate the mind and soothe the soul. They're finding the movers, shakers, feelers, and thinkers, both locally sourced and from all around this great big world, to discuss the struggles, triumphs, and overall beauty of finding and understanding oneself through the pursuit of what really makes your life move to the true rhythm of your soul.
In this week's episode, Chris and Kelley chat with Trey Steinhoff. Trey is an artist, designer, entrepreneur, intrapreneur, product manager, event planner, nonprofit founder, and activist. On top of all that, he and your host Chris have been besties for 10 years and they currently work and live together. (So you could say they are pretty close.) This is actually the second time Trey has been interviewed for the podcast. In light of the death of George Floyd and the renewed strengthening of the Black Lives Matter Movement, Trey requested if he could return to speak about his fervor for activism, white allyship, and how his path to finding his ikigai has shifted.

They go over everything ranging from Kelley’s apparent lack of movie knowledge, what self care can/should look like, navigating negative self talk, analogies with babies in a river, meditation/mindfulness overcoming recent traumas for Chris as it relates to the current racial and social climate, learning to give ourselves and our parents grace, and so much more.
