Descripción

In this deeply honest episode of The Chillness Room, Kyra shares a raw reflection after experiencing several days of intense anxiety, despair, and emotional upheaval caused by perimenopause. When hormones fluctuate, it can become incredibly difficult to tell the difference between who we are and what our chemistry is doing. Even when we’re eating well, exercising, getting sunlight, and doing everything “right,” sudden drops in estrogen can bring anxiety, depression, hot flashes, exhaustion, and emotional overwhelm. Kyra talks about what these hormonal shifts can feel like from the inside and why understanding the biological side of the experience can bring relief and compassion for ourselves. She also reflects on how earlier generations of women went through these changes without language, research, or support. This episode is both an explanation and a reassurance: if you’re in the middle of one of these waves, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. Hormonal storms pass. Your mind and body will find their balance again. Take a breath. Step into the Chillness Room. If you would like to hear more, consider subscribing below!

The Chillness Room Ep. 24: The Lion in Sheep's Clothing

How much of who you are is actually you? In this episode of The Chillness Room, Kyra explores conditioning, belonging, identity, and the stories we inherit from our families, communities, and cultures. Using the familiar tale of the lion raised among sheep, she reflects on what happens when we begin to question old assumptions and discover that the life we were taught to live may not be the life that feels most true. This isn’t a conversation about rejecting where you came from. It’s about becoming curious enough to discover who you are beneath the conditioning and finding a way to honor both your roots and your authenticity. #AuthenticSelf #SelfDiscovery #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualGrowth #HealingJourney Get full access to The Deep Season at thedeepseason.substack.com/subscribe [https://thedeepseason.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

Chillness Room Ep 22: I Had 13 Seconds to Prove Myself—and Didn’t

In a simple, unexpected conversation, I noticed something uncomfortable: the pull to prove what I know—and the simultaneous fear that maybe it’s not enough. This piece explores that tension between ego and self-doubt, and the quiet shift that changes everything: asking instead of telling, listening instead of leading, and allowing others the space to find their own understanding. A reflection on humility, connection, and what it really means to support someone without shaping them.Also, as a bonus, I talk about cults… so there’s that.

Chillness Room Ep. 21: Arguing for What’s Possible

There are moments in relationships where one person is holding what’s possible… while the other is holding all the reasons it won’t work. It can feel circular.Frustrating.Like nothing is actually moving. In this episode, we gently look at that dynamic. How it shows up, why it can feel so activating on both sides, and what it’s like to be either the one encouraging forward movement or the one who can’t seem to get there yet. This isn’t about making either side wrong.It’s about awareness, honesty, and understanding what might actually help each person take a step that feels better and more aligned.Click Here: Chillness Gathering Registration 4/4 11 am PDT - 12:30 pm PDT [https://form.123formbuilder.com/6920816/chillness-gathering-registration] Subscribe for free Get full access to The Deep Season at thedeepseason.substack.com/subscribe [https://thedeepseason.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

Chillness Room Ep. 20: The Energy We Carry

In Episode 20 of The Chillness Room, Kyra reflects on the quiet practices that have helped her reconnect with herself over the years — painting, writing, movement, meditation, and energy work. Sometimes the most powerful shifts come from the simplest acts: focusing on a candle flame, placing a hand over your heart, breathing slowly, or offering a moment of kindness to your own body. These small practices help quiet the conscious mind and allow the deeper parts of ourselves to rest and recalibrate. Kyra shares stories from her early experiences with meditation and hypnosis, explains the idea of focusing the mind so the subconscious can relax, and offers an approachable introduction to Reiki-style self-connection. No training required — just intention, attention, and a willingness to be gentle with yourself. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, and remember that peace is often closer than we think. Take a breath. Step into the Chillness Room.
