I’m sharing some updates on my dreamy early morning routine, and then I dive into what happened when I went on my first solo overnight backpacking trip. Well, I wasn’t completely alone because I brought Cauchy with me but I didn’t see another human out on the trail. I talk about a “cheetah in still mode” versus a “cheetah in action mode” and my plans for the rest of the month. If you find yourself in transition and are ready to soften and allow instead of controlling and taking action, then this is right up your alley!  Timestamps [0:29] Opening thoughts  [0:53] Life updates [0:58 ..read more

In this episode, I share what’s been on my mind lately which is the feeling of being alone. It’s something that I’ve carried with me since I was young.

There are a lot of things outside of our control in the world, but we get to choose our thoughts and how we view the world around us. I encourage you to give this episode a listen if you’re feeling the pull to dive deeper and confront your own feelings that might be guiding you towards somethin ..read more

Welcome to the very first episode of the Kim Kogane Show! We said goodbye to the Floating Experiment last time we chatted, and I’m excited for this new iteration of the podcast. Today I’m exploring why it is hard to be celebrated as I record this episode on my birthday. I’m spending time this summer exploring what it’s like to have more time and space to just be and letting go of the need to be productive 24/7.  I talk about how it’s important to be able to name what we want in order to be able to pursue what we truly desire. After a year of transition, I’m excited to dive even deeper and ..read more

Today I talk to Beth Hewitt of Visualise You. Beth defines herself as a spiritual performance coach, using visualization techniques to help people to find their calling and to realize their soul’s purpose. She used to work in the corporate world but didn’t find satisfaction in her 9 to 5 life, and eventually she drew on her past experiences to launch her own business, marrying intuition and spirituality with wisdom from her corporate background.  Beth begins by talking about the approach she takes with each of her clients, which is highly individualized and tailored to each of their need ..read more

On this episode of The Floating Experiment, I interview Maria, a creativity guide and artist. She is the founder of The Philosopher’s Stem, where she draws out the latent creativity and sense of playfulness that we’ve stamped down inside our adult selves. When working with a client, she sets goals or deadlines to hold the person accountable and to give them motivation to pursue their creativity. She also provides positive feedback to highlight the most promising aspects of her clients’ work, to help them overcome their negative inner critic voices.  Together, Maria and I discuss the ins a ..read more
