It's the final episode of Hello Universe, and we're not going out quietly. Eva and Kyley sit down for one last long, meandering, deeply honest conversation — the kind that made this show what it is. They talk about how they both arrived at the same conclusion at the same time: it was simply, organically, time. From there, the conversation opens up into everything this podcast has really been about…
Courtney Smith, executive coach and co-author of Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness , joins us this week and we are so excited to talk to her about what it looks like to loosen our grip on being “good,” and instead allow for wholeness. This conversation also opens up a deeper framework through the Enneagram and the original roots of the “seven deadly sins” not as moral failings, but as patterns that…
In this episode, we sit down with Reverend Gerlyn Henry, a Toronto-based Anglican priest whose presence online has been quietly (and sometimes not so quietly) shifting how people think about faith, the church, and what it means to live in alignment with what you actually believe. Reverend Gerlyn shares openly about learning discernment in a world that constantly demands a reaction. About making…
Simona Irwin is a Toronto-based mindfulness teacher, somatic practitioner and family constellation facilitator who weaves nervous system tending, deep ecology, and embodied movement into spaces of belonging and aliveness. This is a conversation about healing, but not in a neat or prescriptive way. It’s about what it means to live through something difficult, to change because of it, and to keep…
Kyley and Eva sit down to talk about what has been happening in North America around ICE, immigration enforcement, and the wave of fear, grief, rage, confusion, and moral distress many people are carrying in their bodies right now. They explore what happens when institutions dehumanize people, how fear spreads through communities, and why numbness can start to feel like a survival strategy. At the…
After years of unravelling inherited belief systems, questioning authority, and prying spirituality out of the grip of shame, she finds herself back in conversation with Catholicism. What we cover in this episode: ✝️ Kyley’s complicated return to Catholicism and what “return” actually means here 🕯️ Ritual, repetition, and why the body remembers faith even when the mind resists it 🌀 Leaving a…
In this episode of Hello Universe , Kyley and Eva wade unpack how victim consciousness can form as a protective response to real harm, heartbreak, overwhelm, and unmet needs and how it can quietly harden into an identity that keeps us stuck, depleted, and disconnected from our power. This conversation is not about bypassing pain, minimizing trauma, or pretending hard things didn’t happen. Quite…
What does it really means to give yourself permission to be a messy b*tch—especially in the places where it feels hardest. Sparked by Eva being back in Taiwan with her family, this conversation explores what happens when all your tools fly out the window, ten years of therapy evaporate at the front door, and you’re left face-to-face with old patterns, big feelings, and the relentless voice that…
Kyley and Eva explore the real roots of burnout, the difference between desire and proving, and why so many people feel torn between achievement and inner alignment. They unwind the cultural belief that you must choose between being connected to your soul and creating a successful life, and offer a grounded alternative: ambition becomes nourishing when it’s linked to desire instead of fear. A…
This week's listener asks a question about making a decision at a crossroad - both Kyley and Eva have danced around big changes more than once and share their advice and experience when weighing the complexities of money, safety, job transitions, entrepreneurship culture, and the often-invisible emotional terrain of taking a leap. The question: Hello Universe. I'm standing at a fork in the road…
