"What's your greatest lesson on romantic relationships?" is a question I've asked on her in most every episode. This week with the help of a few favorite guests, I attempt to answer it.

How do we embrace creativity as a divine force, even when it challenges our limits? In this episode of Embodied, I sit down with Kristin Hanggi—Tony-nominated director, writer, and author of God, Sex, and Musical Theater. Kristin's work spans Broadway, film, and beyond, delving into themes of faith, identity, and authenticity. Together, we explore the sacred, mystical nature of the creative process. Kristin shares how she views creativity as a living, divine energy that flows through her, requiring trust, surrender, and the courage to let go of control. She reflects on how this perspective has shaped her artistry and life, offering profound insights into navigating uncertainty with grace.

Wicked, Wicked, WICKED! Everyone is talking about Wicked! Well, do we here at Talk About It have news for you... there is a brand new musical playing in Los Angeles that is all the rage in the epilepsy community, and it will make you forget all about good witches or bad witches. That musical is "It's All Your Fault, Tyler Price" and it tells the story of a middle school boy whose younger sister has epilepsy and is being bullied, shining a light on the high and low moments of a family dealing with epilepsy, how it affects the parent, and the challenges they are forced to overcome. It's a fresh, honest perspective and a wonderful opportunity to highlight epilepsy awareness on the stage! Greg sits down with the show's creators, Emmy award-winning composer and songwriter Ben Decter and Tony-nominated director Kristin Hanggi, to tell the story of what inspired Ben to start writing this show, how he and Kristin developed the final iteration of the musical, and so, SO much more! Plus! You'll get a sneak peek of one of the numbers that they shot a music video for. This episode is so much fun, you do NOT want to miss it! The Talk About It podcast is sponsored by Seizures Are Signs — dedicated to educating families on the importance of early and specific diagnosis by providing an assessment to help get the conversation started, educational information, stories from families who have found a diagnosis, links to advocacy groups, and more.

In honor of Valentine's Day it's an episode about romantic love… just kidding it's about breakups! It's part variety show from 2019 where I compiled all of the times (up until then) I spoke with guests on how heartbreak, grief, and sadness can lead to growth. I play some of my favorite clips from my conversations with manifestation advisor and founder of To Be Magnetic, Lacy Phillips, herbalist and founder of Supernatural, Rachelle Robinett, writer and designer Robyn Kanner, author Sara Avant Stover, dancer and writer Cody Cook-Parrott, illustrator and author Mari Andrew, artist Jon Marro, writer Jessica Ciencin Henriquez, musician Yoke Lore, director Kristin Hanggi ... it sounds like a bummer of an episode but it was actually quite optimistic, full of wisdom, and even at times funny. Then I react to hearing their advice 5 years later, talk about if I took it and what has happened since…Let me know if you listen : ) Show Notes:- Breakups Kits- Inbox Organization course: code LETITOUT for 20% off- Our Substack- My Creative Clinic: book a call with me here- TALK KIT waitlist- Creative Underdogs/In Process here | waitlist- IG: @letitouttt + @katiedaleboutFull episodes of guests in this episode:Rachelle RobinettRobyn KannerSara Avant StoverCody Cook-ParrottMari AndrewJon MarroJessica Ciencin HenriquezLacy Phillips Valentines day episodeYoke LoreKristin Hanggi and Maddie Korman

Do you feel it? How life is asking us all to step up? That our lessons are coming faster? And that the old way of doing things just won't work anymore? This week we talk about how to deal with the big challenges as they present themselves and the power of relaxation during this time of human evolution. We also discuss the wisdom that comes up through our emotional bodies and how we can open ourselves to process those emotions. Finally, we explore the multitude of assistance that is available to us as we learn how to expand into our multidimensional selves.Resources:Natalie's website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Kristin's website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Kristin's Storyspace: https://mailchi.mp/c44be6a5d0db/nzgypij34tKristin's 1:1 services: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ip6D43T08A1MREPU5fZ7xlnsuLfMep-F/view?usp=sharingSong:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

This week we are talking about expansion and self-love! We talk about how important it is to hold space for each other and for ourselves to be exactly who we are — in our raw primal humanness and our limitless divine nature. How do we learn to love all parts of ourselves, and see our so-called "flaws" as precious?Resources:Natalie's website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Kristin's website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Kristin's Storyspace: https://mailchi.mp/c44be6a5d0db/nzgypij34tKristin's 1:1 services: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ip6D43T08A1MREPU5fZ7xlnsuLfMep-F/view?usp=sharingSong:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

This week we are talking about how to find our own inner peace in a world that's upside down and filled with rage. We talk about taking responsibility for our own lives, no matter what the circumstance. We also discuss the need to create space and stillness -- in that space, we can hear the next right action in this present moment. Resources:Kristin's website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Natalie's website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

“We're coming to a place in time where life itself is making us go inner world focused.” –Kristin HanggiThere's more than the hero's journey. Kristin Hanggi and I are talking about the heroine's journey and feminine productivity. Kristin is a multi passionate director, writer, producer, artist, and poet, who compares the hero's journey — or the outer world journey — and the heroine's journey — or the inner world journey.The hero's journey is an amazing framework, and when I first heard Kristin speak about the heroine's journey, there was no doubt in my mind, I needed to get her on the podcast. Right now we are living the heroine's journey individually and collectively. We need to heal our feminine and masculine.The creative path will take you to your stuck places. You need to stay in the process to evolve. It's not always comfortable and is often hard. We talk about overcoming limiting beliefs and thoughts of scarcity. Most importantly, Kristin shares the framework that helps navigate our sould's journey.We talk about: The role of mentors in the heroine's journeyThe Dark Night of the Soul and what comes afterSeparation from the feminine, losing connection to the earth and our bodiesThe outward quest for success and spiritual aridness and not feeling fulfilled Healing our relationships with our bodies and the earth and reconnecting to and learning to trust the original wisdom that lives inside Finding the integration or sacred marriage between the masculine and feminineABOUT KRISTINKristin Hanggi is a theater, television, and film director as well as a passionate multi-hyphenate — writer, producer, artist and poet.She is best known for directing and developing the international smash-hit Rock of Ages, which received five Tony Award nominations, including a nomination for Best Direction of a Musical.

Today we are exploring our NEEDS. That our needs are there for a reason. They are divine communication. They are life asking for itself. We are talking about HOW to listen to our needs. How to take a stand for our needs. How to be the voice of our needs. The need teaches how to relate with others. It points us in the way that our life wants to grow. Resources:Florence retreat: https://mailchi.mp/ab648ebd8aa5/opfmiitopq For more information about Italy, or to apply for the scholarship, you can also email Natalie at ‘natalielynnroy@gmail.com' or Kristin at ‘hanggilove@gmail.com'Kristin's website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/ Natalie's website: https://www.natalieroy.com/ Resources:Florence retreat: https://mailchi.mp/ab648ebd8aa5/opfmiitopqFor more information about Italy, or to apply for the scholarship, you can also email Natalie at ‘natalielynnroy@gmail.com' or Kristin at ‘hanggilove@gmail.com'Kristin's website: https://www.kristinhanggi.com/Natalie's website: https://www.natalieroy.com/Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

This week we are talking about ANGER! Yes! Anger! And how there is such value in expressing those emotions that we aren't always encouraged to explore. We talk about why it's important not to push feelings away and the wisdom that comes when we allow ourself to embody what is. We also talk about how to process disappointment and how getting our heart broken is part of being an authentic, soulful artist. Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

It's another podcast! Guess what? Natalie has had a little visitor. A tiny furry visitor in her apartment. And now she has a story for us! We talk about  learning to identify our own needs, not putting our "savior" outside of ourselves, and creating a secure environment for ourselves,  AND... this is the first podcast that you can watch the video of!Song:Tell Me by Andy Gammon

This week's special guest is Natalie's sweet baby girl, Elena! And just like a newborn needs love, care, attention, and nurturing, so does every single one of us. This week Natalie and Kristin talk about how to ask the question "What does my body need?" and to tune in for the answers, everyday and moment by moment. As we can feel the calls and pressures of life, how does each one of us slow down to take care of the precious one inside first. Yes, first, not after all the things are done. We also talk about the sacred gift of life and how attuning to ourselves, our bodies, and our relationships is part of honoring it.

This week's guest is director/writer/poet Kristin Hanggi, who received a Tony Award nomination for Best Director of a Musical for Rock of Ages. Kristin is also the author  of God, Sex and Musical Theatre (which is in the process of being adapted for a musical) and the co-host (with Natalie Roy) of Let's Play: The C.R.E.A.T.E. Podcast.

This week, Natalie and Kristin answer questions from the CREATE community on all sorts of different topics -- balance, self-confidence, and audacity. They also have a blast making each other laugh as they catch up, and dive into how we can create space for all of the feelings as they emerge. Natalie blows Kristin's mind when she drops this valuable tool: "the thing I'm trying to avoid feeling is..." We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording!

This week, we are back to podcasting after Natalie's maternity leave! She shares her birth story with us, and what she has learned in her process as a mother so far. We expand the conversation to what it is to "mother" in the creative sense, and how birthing something new in the world takes a deep inner listening. We discuss the obstacles that arise as we bring anything to life. We also talk about loving and trusting the creation as we learn how to love and trust ourselves.

When our minds get into obsession about something or someone, what is that telling us about ourselves? This week we talk about why the mind wants to leave the present moment, and the tricky ways we avoid feeling our pain. We also talk about how our creativity wants to be utilized here and now, and how our deep emotions are asking for acceptance and expression.

Fasten your seatbelts, friends, we are talking about shame this week! Where is the unlikely place that shame shows up? And what are our triggers trying to reveal to us about what we are believing? We go on to discuss our inherent value and worthiness as human beings, exactly as we are, and we dive into the messages that our habits and behaviors are communicating to our sweet inner child. It's a full packed episode this week!

We are talking about personal evolution on this podcast and where it's taking us!  We explore how our individual choices demonstrate our values. And how our values are unique to each one of us and our purpose on the planet. Also, as we explore deeper into evolving consciousness, we dive into the awakening process that is happening in the world and inside each one of us. The process is natural: just as our bodies are self-healing, so is our growth. Rest and stillness allows us to feel and sense what is arising from within. What's next? We are choosing it as it is also unfolding from our very nature.

What does it mean to have your "hands in the clay?" This week we are talking about actively being involved in the formation of our own lives. We are surrounded by potential, the raw materials of creation. We also talk about inner and inter-dependence as we examine looking at our patterns in order to love and heal them. All of life is our opportunity to have our "hands in the clay."

It's rainbow sweaters! It's listening to your body! This week we are talking about how the Divine whispers differently to each one of us about who we are and what we are called to. We are giving BIG permission to listen to the song of your soul, and follow the inspiration that is unique to you!!! 

Reality is fluid! Who we are is fluid! Life is constantly changing as the universe itself is evolving. We talk about co-creating in a world that is ever alive and dynamic. In the same way, we acknowledge that our dream is also always moving and revealing itself to us. We can't use yesterday's blueprint in today's world.  Energy is flowing and form is shifting... It's fluid! And we are constantly creating a ripple effect with our actions. 

This is our 200 episode! How exciting! The CREATE podcast is a "creative baby" that we have loved birthing into the world. This week, Natalie shares some personal news with us, and we explore what it is like to give birth to a creative idea. We talk about how our creative babies teach us how to become the healthy parents that can raise them. In a way, our creative babies birth us, and our next level of consciousness,

It's the holiday season and it's time for GIFTS! This week we are talking about how we ALL have different feelings and different needs, and we process them all in our own way. When it comes to feelings, there isn't any right or wrong. We are all unique in the way we do things. There is a huge GIFT in accepting our differences as we also learn how to accept ourselves.

Have you ever thought of yourself in a constant dance with Life? How much is "us"? And how much is the formless playing and creating through us? This week we talk about actively creating life, and letting life be created through us. Are we following Life, or is Life following us? Or are both simultaneously happening at the same time?

This week we are talking a lot about un-doing labels and categorization so that we can go beyond the binary into the ever-evolving space that is the essence of life. We discuss the inspirational work of Alok Vaid-Menon. We also talk about the power of holding opposites in all situations, and how intentionally leaving space for creation creates a gateway for who we are going to be next.

We've invented a term for when a person gets preoccupied by trying to "fix" themselves! We stumbled on this idea when reviewing one of our very first podcasts on insecurity. This week, we discuss that whatever we want to “fix” actually points us to the parts that are asking to be loved. The “fixness” itself can be an avoidance of intimacy.  So, instead of trying to “fix” can we bring empathy and unconditional self-love into this moment?

This week is all about the Form and Formless. Matter and Spirit. What comes first. Why that scares us. Where we put our trust. Kristin lets us into her next adventure, while Natalie shares the process of how she "created" her romance.

This week we are talking about our relationships: romantic, artistic, business, and friendships. We discuss the power we each have in our perception to either raise up or to create separation. As there is so much division in the world, how do we not make an "other" and how can we use conflict or difference as an opportunity to take personal responsibility? Where are triggers in a relationship an indication that there is some shadow work to be done?

Hahaha! Nope, we're not giving a sermon this week! We are actually sharing the adventures of our weekend trip to Austin, Texas. Hear all about our inside jokes, our two-step dancing, and how all of life was communicating with us in a myriad of different ways. Picture recommendations - Could be pictures of travel? Or a picture of cowboy boots dancing? A taco truck? Maybe a road map?

This week we talk about what is emerging through us — as individuals and as a collective. We talk about how our values get shaped in this creative process called life. Then we dig into thoughts on how the universe is reflecting back to us what is inside of us and how that helps us to grow! 

This week we are talking about how we've noticed that there seems to be "fear" in the air. Or, another way of saying it, is you can feel the collective anxiety of the human condition coming up to be felt. This is actually positive movement, because we are going from a place of "repressed fear" to "expressed fear" as part of the releasing and transmuting process. This week, we talk about how this is happening in individuals as it occurs at the same time inside the larger collective.

Have you ever noticed that there's always something in your life, your art, your relationships, or your career that you're just not satisfied with? That it's never all "done." That you always find yourself reaching for something. Well, what if the Discontent has a purpose? What if the gap or distance actually creates room for Life to demonstrate itself to us? What is the job isn't to get rid of that space, but to change our relationship with it? This week, we talk about all of that, and we never get around to telling the story about Kristin's pink hair... More for next week!

It is the voice of your intuition that you hear? Is it the voice of your fears? How can we tell the difference? What do we do with the ever present duality that is always in us? Where are we looking for direction? Do we value outer authority over inner authority? We are back after a little break and here are just a few of the questions that we are asking ourselves this week!

Where is the clutter in your life? Is it in your home, your inbox, or in your relationships, or your emotions?

This podcast also could have been called, "The Surprise Podcast" as Natalie surprises Kristin with the podcast topic this week! Natalie goes deep into a download that she received on "overcoming," which leads to a conversation about trusting our innate value, and ultimately, "the choiceless choice of presence."

In episode 017 of What's Betwixt Us, we are joined by Tony-nominated Broadway director Kristin Hanggi. Among her many projects for stage and screen, Kristin is also the author of God, Sex, and Musical Theater. Kristin is a deeply inspired, compassionate, and wise coach, mentor, and creative guide. She talks with us about trust in teambuilding, the importance of play in your work, and inner listening. She says, “Fun has a way of unlocking things.” Please learn more about Kristin by visiting her website at https://www.kristinhanggi.com/. What's Betwixt Us is powered by zanie, designed to build trust and authentic human connection in remote workspaces. More at zanie.app.

Today Kristin Hanggi shares with us her creative process and her new book "God, Sex and Musical Theater." She reads to us one of her poems and it will shake your inner warrior alive. Her words are powerful. Her message is transformational. I believe when you listen to this podcast, you will be inspired to awaken the inner warrior, goddess, and creator! Head over to her website Kristin Hanggi to get her book and see all of her amazing offerings!

Today is our first “Between the Lines” episode in which we explore a topic that flows naturally from the text we interpreted in the last podcast. Last week we looked at John 1 and explored a Christ-soaked world, so today we are thrilled to have the one and only Kristin Hanggi! She is a Tony-nominated Broadway Director, best known for her show "Rock of Ages," but has also produced tons of other film, television and stage productions. In addition to these talents, she is also Story Shaman in which she walks alongside others to help find their voice, get rid of the negative self talk, and bring their creativity to life. In this episode, Kristin provides a unique and refreshing perspective to creativity, teaches us a new way to look at and interact with ideas, and reminds us that the Divine always finds us inside of our creative acts.
