Photo Credits: Viktoria Gaus, Yvan Hannay, Nicolas Deru, Stefanie EiflerIn this episode, we once again talk about the Love Community (#64) – this time through the eyes of co-founder Stefanie Eifler.Stefanie, who everyone simply calls Steffi, loves to combine her two passions and immerse herself in a world of aesthetics – in the beauty of tangible forms just as much as in the beauty of human connection. Whether as a graphic designer and artist or as an initiator and personal companion, her motivation is to welcome people just as they are. To soften their gaze, to create connection, to open and illustrate new perspectives, and to support each person's heart energy to flow, and finding the way into their own authenticity.She will share to you her own journey: how a tantric seminar opened her eyes to deep self-acceptance. How she moved beyond a destructive self-image and societal expectations into her authentic self. She shares about which role sexuality has played in this process, and what new freedoms can emerge when we start questioning norms we grew into.Steffi will offer us insights into how she puts her artistic skills in service of people: in the form of intimate portrait sessions, massages, cuddle sessions, or tangible expressions such as books to take home. All with the intention of empowering the individuals who come to her.The first of these propositions is especially close to her heart. One might wonder what purpose a portrait of one's own intimate area – like the Yoni (Sanskrit for the female genitals) – could serve. For Steffi, it is about recognizing the own, completely individual beauty. About letting go of ideas of how we “should” look like, perhaps processing transgressive or difficult experiences with sensitive support, or simply discovering oneself anew. All of this within a respectful, confidential, and caring space. A jointly created ritual opens the way to the next step of self-empowerment for those interested, and this remarkable step is then manifested in a poetically inspired image.Steffi has already accompanied several Yoni-bearing individuals along this path, and in the meantime has also begun to support the first Lingam-bearers (Lingam is in sanskrit the word for the male genitals).We will talk about why this physical diversity is scientifically proofed aesthetically beautiful to the human eye, and how each person's individuality brings richness into our lives. This episode is about the unity and diversity of being human – across borders, language barriers, or personal stories. Because the language of the heart – affection and empathy – is universal.If all this resonates with you, feel invited to let this universe of the Love Community grow, and simply contact Steffi directly with whatever proposition interests you most: hello((at))intousia.comSteffi's propositions – short links:Intim-Portrait-Ritual:https://www.intousia.com/meet-your-temple/Cuddle Sessions in group or individual settings:https://www.intousia.com/cuddle-spaces/Heart opening Massage in an individual or couples' session: https://www.intousia.com/heart-opening-ritual/Accompaniment in individual sessions:https://www.intousia.com/personal-accompaniment/Book – Guide du yoni massage: https://lavoieduplaisir.com/guide-initiatique-du-massage-de-la-yoni/Recommendations which had a great impact on Steffi: The book: Ethical slut by Janet W.

What if passion isn't something you stumble upon—but something you bring with you? In this episode, we're flipping the script on what it means to “find your passion.” I share how I've come to understand that passion isn't found in the work, the title, or the circumstance—it's born from within. We often believe that others have more fun, more fulfillment, or more clarity because of what they do. But here's the truth: perception isn't the full story.I dive into the idea that passion produces passion—and that we can create joy and energy in our lives by choosing to show up differently. From the quote, “My job is not fun—I'm a fun person,” we explore what it looks like to lead with our own spark and bring vibrancy to even the most mundane moments. Whether you're feeling disconnected or just ready to tap back into your own fire, this episode is a loving reminder that you hold the power to make anything feel more alive.After you listen, I'd love to know—what's one way you can bring a little more fun, fire, or passion into your world this week? Tag me on Instagram or send a message and let's celebrate how YOU show up and create your own spark.

Are you feeling drained and stuck, trying to fit into roles that don't reflect who you truly are? It's time to reclaim your energy and stop wasting your precious time on what's not meant for you.In this episode, we delve into the emotional toll of living out of alignment with your true self. Discover how to listen to your inner voice, set empowering boundaries, and find the courage to say no to what's not serving you. Schedule Your Free Discovery CallThis is a free call designed to help you overcome your struggles with self-abandonment and unrelenting stress.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule it here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : ⁠https://calendly.com/drkellykessler/discovery⁠⁠

Roy Fruits June 29, 2025 What Is A Christian? Grace: The Source Of Authentic Living Galatians 2:11-21

"What if the loneliness you feel in your marriage is actually preparing you for the solitude that could set you free?"Pat Fenner thought she knew how marriages were supposed to end. After 37 years, the slow drift into loneliness felt normal. But when divorce blindsided her, this mother of five discovered something unexpected: she had been lonely even when married. What followed was a journey from feeling like a "hard little kernel" to coming home to herself in ways she never imagined. Pat's story challenges everything we think we know about fighting for relationships versus fighting for ourselves."I absolutely love my life right now," Pat declares—words she couldn't have said for fifteen years. Through raw honesty, she reveals the red flags she missed, the fear that kept her trapped, and the surprising difference between solitude and loneliness. Her advice? Stop thinking marriage gets worse with time. Sometimes the very thing we think will destroy our relationship—standing up for ourselves—might actually save it.

The Power of Words: What I Stopped Saying (and Why)In this episode, we're diving deep into something we often take for granted—our words. I'm sharing three specific words I've intentionally removed from my vocabulary and how doing so has shifted not just my mindset, but also how I communicate with others.

I'll walk you through how shifting your language can lighten your emotional load, foster clearer communication, and help you feel more empowered in everyday conversations.

When's the last time you touched grass… before your phone? No really. Imagine waking up, resisting the urge to scroll, walking outside barefoot, and just… grounding. That's what today's episode is all about — unplugging from the madness and plugging into what's real. And man, this convo hit different.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sat down with Ryan Levesque, a 7-time Inc. 5000 CEO, 2-time #1 National Bestselling Author, and legit one of the smartest (and realest) entrepreneurs I know. He's the guy behind the wildly successful Ask Method — but lately, he's been asking deeper questions.Like…What if success isn't just scaling tech, but scaling truth?What if the best things in life can't be optimized or outsourced?What if real wealth is measured in moments, not metrics?Ryan's on a mission to live a radically real life. He left the digital rat race for a self-sustaining lifestyle — think chickens, crops, faith, and family. And in this convo, we explore his framework called “The Return to Real” — a philosophy (and lifestyle) that'll get you rethinking your entire hustle.We jammed on everything from purpose-driven business to farming wisdom to why technology is no longer a moat. Spoiler alert: In a world where anyone can clone your product, the unscalable stuff is your secret weapon. Love. Integrity. Presence. A handwritten note. A meaningful convo. A hug from your little one. THAT'S the new currency.Here are a few gems from this episode you won't wanna miss:Ryan's daily practice to instantly ground your energy and clear your mind — no apps requiredWhy the real flex in business is doing things that don't scale (and why your competition won't do it)The communication skill that'll set you apart in a noisy, AI-run worldHow to recalibrate when you feel out of sync — personally or professionallyWhy following your heart isn't fluffy — it's your most strategic moveThis convo is raw, soulful, and super practical. It's not about quitting business and buying a farm (unless that's your vibe) — it's about remembering who you are underneath the noise. Slowing down enough to ask better questions. And choosing depth over distraction, every dang time.So if you're craving more meaning, more alignment, and a business that feels good to run, hit play on this one. It might just change how you show up tomorrowIn this episode, we cover:Sustainable Living and Farming JourneyThe Return to Real: A Movement Towards AuthenticityPractical Applications of the Return to RealOptimizing for Oxytocin in BusinessThe Importance of Unscalable ExperiencesThe Importance of Communication Skills in the Digital AgeEmbracing Unconventional Wisdom for Business SuccessFollowing Your Heart's Contrarian VoiceNavigating Life's Windows of OpportunityThe Journey to Authentic LivingRapid Fire Insights and Personal ReflectionsWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Ryan says it's that right combination, which I think for all of us, it's what is the right effective dose for you?

She's been on a career adventure that's included selling candy bars for Nestlé, teaming to launch Grainger's first e-commerce site, a brief stint in internet marketing at CME Group, and rolling up her sleeves as COO of a nonprofit—handling marketing, operations, and employee development.

Embracing this as part of our identity and accepting the strengths and challenges associated with fibromyalgia and autism is the key to finding new levels of joy and healing.

Liz Matthews has been a social media friend and member of the Chapel Probation Facebook group, and we finally got her on to tell her story. She graduated from Biola where she played basketball, but she actually had a good time there. Liz brings up the concept of "shelving" borrowed from Ex-Mormon podcasts. It's where you place all the doubts, questions, and issues that aren't compatible with evangelical christianity. But there is only so much space on this existential shelf and when it fill up, it collapses. Liz tells her story of trying to reconcile her deeply-held faith with the realities of the world and her own identity as a queer woman. And it's epic.Chapel Probation is part of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dauntless Media Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dauntless Media Discord ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for more conversation with all the podcast communities.Scott's book, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Asian-American-Apostate- Losing Religion and Finding Myself at an Evangelical University⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is available now!Music by Scott Okamoto, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jenyi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Azeem Khan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shin Kawasaki⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wingo Shackleford⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chapel Probation Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ group to continue the conversations.Follow Scott on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can subscribe to Scott's newsletter and learn more about the book, the blog, and performances at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠rscottokamoto.com⁠
