Keepin' It Real

Taking Up Space: Desire, Confidence, and Owning Your Body

In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I tell a story exactly as it happened. I met a man on a dance floor who knew how to command attention. I watched him perform for the room, decided I wasn’t interested in competing for it, and then did something different. I asked directly for what I wanted. What followed had nothing to do with romance or fantasy. It was about choice. Clear boundaries. Mutual desire without pretending it needed to become something else. I talk about exploring sexuality without a relationship, why that felt clean and honest for me, and how comfortable I was being fully expressed in my body without apology. This episode also cuts straight into the issue I see over and over with women. Restricted movement. Hesitation. Fear of taking up space. I explain why partner dancing exposes these blocks immediately, how confidence actually shows up in the body, and why most women are far more capable of freedom and pleasure than they allow themselves to be. I also introduce my Discover Your Groove workshop, a free 30-day practice for women who are done overthinking movement and ready to feel at home in their bodies. This conversation is not about being sexy or desirable for anyone else. It is about being clear, embodied, and honest with yourself. When you trust your body and stop shrinking, everything changes.

There's no choreography, there's no weird shit. There's nothing like that. It's just, what can we do in your body? Where can we work with where you're at right now, in your body, today? “ – Misty Tripoli “But now I'm empowered sexually, like now I feel and I'm more comfortable in my body, and my sensuality, than I'd ever been in my whole life.” – Misty Tripoli

Botox, Invisibility, and the Relief of Being Real

Aging has a way of asking a question we don’t always want to answer: Who am I if I’m no longer trying to stay young? In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I get honest about my own experience with Botox, the pressure women face to keep looking a certain way, and the moment I realized how exhausting it was to keep fighting time.I share what it felt like to lose facial expression, to look in the mirror and not fully recognize myself, and the deeper truth underneath it all, that clinging to youth can quietly disconnect us from who we actually are. We talk about the emotional, financial, and energetic cost of chasing an ever-moving standard of beauty, and why opting out can feel both terrifying and incredibly freeing.This isn’t an anti-Botox episode, and it’s definitely not about judging anyone’s choices. It’s about honesty, self-acceptance, and the relief that comes when you stop trying to be someone you used to be and start honoring who you are now. We explore the unexpected freedom of invisibility, the beauty of maturity, and the peace that comes with choosing reality over performance.If you’ve ever felt conflicted about aging, beauty, or the pressure to keep up, this conversation is an invitation to soften, reflect, and decide what feels true for you, without shame, without rules, and without apology.Connect with Misty:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mistytripoliFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheWorldGROOVEMovement/aboutTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@body_groove?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcWebsite: https://www.mistytripoli.com/Key Timestamps:[00:00:00] Introduction.[00:00:41] Confronting the big question.[00:01:06] Reaching the age of irrelevance.[00:02:12] My experience with Botox.[00:03:39] Exhaustion from clinging to youthful beauty.[00:05:11] The freedom of invisibility.[00:06:18] How are you embracing aging?Memorable Quotes:“There's a part of it, this invisibility, you know, like being irrelevant is actually quite freeing, you know, not trying to impress anyone or trying to attract anyone, or thinking I have to be something to be important or be beautiful.” – Misty Tripoli“It's crazy, because so much of our value as women is our looks, and as we get older, there's this age of irrelevance, and you just kind of turn invisible.” – Misty Tripoli “I've always felt beautiful, and I still feel beautiful, but it's just different. It's like, it's not that youthful beauty anymore. It's this very mature, you know, seasoned, aged, wrinkled like a fine fruit.” – Misty TripoliProduced by Evolved Podcastinghttps://www.evolvedpodcasting.com/

Why Knowing About Abundance Isn’t Enough (And What Actually Works With Money)

You can know all the spiritual money teachings in the world and still be broke if you’re not actually living them. In this episode of Keepin’ It Real, I get honest about the moment I realized that understanding abundance isn’t the same thing as embodying it and how that shift changed my financial reality. I break down what happens when you stop collecting concepts and start applying them in your body, your energy, and your everyday life. You’ll hear how my relationship with Abraham Hicks moved from “interesting ideas” to a grounded daily practice, why affirmations never worked for me, and why frequency -not positive thinking- is the real language of money and abundance. I share the exact practice I committed to, what it felt like somatically, and how tuning into abundance instead of chasing it led to a very real financial breakthrough. We also talk about money as feminine energy, why it’s meant to move, and what happens when you stop gripping and start trusting the flow. This episode is for anyone who’s done the mindset work but isn’t seeing results yet, and is ready to turn spiritual knowledge into lived experience, embodied power, and actual money in the bank.
