About this episode

Krista Kathleen shares her transformative experiences in the Costa Rican jungle, exploring themes of authenticity and personal growth in business.

A week in the Costa Rican jungle cracked something open in Krista and she’s not putting herself back together the same way! What began as a retreat experience turned into a deep unraveling of old identities, people-pleasing patterns, the need for male validation, and the lifelong habit of abandoning herself to be loved. Through sacred conversations, plant medicine, ecstatic dance, emotional breakthroughs, and witnessing the raw stories of others, Krista found herself confronting what authenticity actually looks like when you stop performing and start telling the truth. This episode is vulnerable, emotional, deeply reflective, and very much unfolding in real time.
