Get ready to rise above the noise and unlock your true potential. "Unapologetic Uplift with Kim and Ianthe" is all about keeping it real and helping you live your best life.
What if the key to scaling your business was letting go of control and letting God run the show? Ordained spiritual minister and serial entrepreneur Jenny Bitner joins hosts Kim Staples and Ianthe Mauro to share how an "ego death" led her from corporate burnout to building a freedom-first empire guided by divine downloads.
Jenny breaks down how A Course in Miracles transformed her approach to business, why a real miracle is a shift in perspective (not money dropping from the sky), and how she learned to distinguish the loud, chaotic voice of ego from the soft, calm voice of inner knowing. She also shares the unfiltered story of packing four suitcases and moving her family to Mexico during COVID for medical freedom, and how she and her husband now split their life between a Canadian campground and the Caribbean coast while raising two homeschooled daughters.
If you've ever wondered what it actually feels like to receive a "download," struggled with family pushback on unconventional choices, or wanted to build a business led by faith instead of fear, this conversation bridges the gap between spiritual practice and real-world entrepreneurship.

Why Your Body Shakes Like a Scared Animal (And Should) with Lara J. Day
Can shaking like a scared animal actually heal your nervous system? Neurogenic Qigong practitioner Lara J. Day joins host Ianthe Mauro to break down the ancient energy medicine and trauma-release technique she invented after her own decade-long health crisis. Lara explains why humans suppress the same tremor response that lets a gazelle walk away from a lion attack unscathed, and how relearning to "shake it off" can release trapped trauma from the body.
The conversation goes even deeper into ritual: Lara reveals why our holidays have been intentionally rebranded throughout history to manipulate mass behavior, and introduces her own 13-night Winter Solstice ritual: a practice she's used for almost 18 years to set intentions, track synchronicities, and realign with the seasons.
If you've ever felt hollow, frazzled, or "not enough" during the holidays, or wondered whether energy work like qigong is more than just woo, this episode connects ancient practice with lived, tangible experience.

Bonus Episode | Unhinged Out Loud With Kim (#12)
What if you don't need to be broken to deserve your own care?
This episode of Unhinged Out Loud is a mini activation for anyone who's been taught that healing only counts when something's falling apart — that we only meditate when we're stressed, only rest when we're exhausted, only turn inward after the crisis hits.
Kim challenges that belief and invites you into a different way of being: honoring yourself not because you're fixing something broken, but because you're remembering something whole.
Then she guides you through a gentle transmission to help you:
✨ Release the belief that you have to earn peace or wait for a crisis to choose it
✨ Soften into the present moment and feel the support already beneath you
✨ Visualize a warm golden light expanding through your chest, heart, and mind
✨ Anchor into new affirmations: "I don't need to be broken to deserve my attention" and "Abundance is already here"
✨ Reconnect to the truth that certainty and wisdom already live within you
✨ Shift from surviving your life to intentionally creating it
This isn't about self-improvement. It's about self-honoring. When you stop waiting for pain to become your invitation, peace becomes your practice — and eventually, peace becomes your personality.
You don't need a diagnosis, a breakdown, or a rock bottom to choose yourself. You just need to remember.
