Because most of us learned about our bodies in health class… somewhere between the banana condom demonstration and being told to “just deal with cramps.”

Not exactly the life-changing education we needed.

So it’s no wonder so many women grow up feeling confused, disconnected, or even annoyed with their own bodies, especially when things start shifting in our 30s, 40s, and beyond.

That’s why we brought in Hannah Singer, yoga therapist, psychosomatic coach, cyclical living educator, and founder of Lokah and the woman behind the @Growthof_Mind Instagram to help us finally understand what’s actually happening inside our bodies.

And wow… this conversation opened our eyes.

We talked about everything from aging and body image to feminine energy, shadow work, and why learning your cycle might be one of the most powerful tools for understanding yourself.

Hannah breaks down the four phases of the menstrual cycle in a way that actually makes sense and explains how each phase affects your energy, mood, creativity, and even how you show up in relationships.

She also shares simple ways to support yourself during each phase (without needing to overhaul your life or memorize a science textbook).

Here’s what we got into:
💫 Why aging isn’t something to fight and how society has completely warped the conversation
🌙 The four phases of the cycle and how each one affects your energy and emotions
🧠 Why women feel so different week to week (spoiler: your hormones are literally shifting every phase)
🔥 The real meaning of feminine energy and why it includes your shadow side too
📓 How to track your cycle in a way that actually helps you understand your body
🌕 Why the moon can still be a powerful guide—even if your cycle feels all over the place
❤️ And how reconnecting with your body can completely change how you move through life

This episode is equal parts science, self-awareness, and “why didn’t anyone teach us this sooner?”

Courtney and Lauren open the Moon & Stone Neighborhood Hotline (call number: 1111) and rip through their spiciest unpopular opinions, parenting, sports, social media, “healing” content overload, getting older, and the freedom that comes with caring less about what other people think. Funny, honest, and very “we said what we said.”

What We Get Into:

• 📚 Parenting takes: grades, school emails, travel sports, and letting kids figure things out
• 🚿 Shower-peeing etiquette + the absolutely unhinged hotel coffee maker underwear story
• 📱 Social media + wellness culture: not documenting everything, 4am routine overload, and why too many “shoulds” can freeze you up

The hotline officially closes (for now), but the opinions are still flying. Courtney and Lauren reflect on aging, body image, Botox, bangs, food, friendship boundaries, and why life actually gets better when you stop trying to win at everything. Unfiltered, slightly chaotic, and exactly the kind of conversation you’d overhear at their kitchen counter.

Today’s episode is a full circle, actual fan-girl moment because we’re sitting down with Kate Mantello, the crystal healing powerhouse we got certified through, international author, creator of a global healing institute, and someone who has taught 30,000+ students how to work with crystal energy in a way that’s grounded, powerful, and real.

Kate takes us through her story from the very beginning and it’s not the “perfect timing, perfect plan” kind of story. It’s the life cracked open, things fell apart, and she listened to what was calling her anyway kind of story.

And honestly? It’ll make you want to show up for your own life in a bigger way.

In this episode, we talk about:

💎 How Kate got into energy work + crystal healing after a sudden spine injury changed everything
🌎 The unexpected path from “regular job life” to building a healing business that reached the world
✨ Why your purpose finds you (usually when you’re not looking and definitely not ready)
🧠 What she tells crystal skeptics (and why she doesn’t waste her energy trying to convince anyone)
⚡ The surprising science-y truth: how crystals are already used in technology (and what that means for energy work)

This episode is for you if…

You’ve been feeling like you’re in a season of rebuilding, redefining, or reintroducing yourself to… you.
Or if you’ve been wondering why crystals found you “randomly” one day and now you can’t stop thinking about them.
Or if you just need the reminder that you’re not broken, you’re becoming.

In this episode of Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we’re having a real convo about style, confidence, and dressing like you actually give a sh*t… even if you’re just running errands.

We talk about why “having style” isn’t something you’re magically born with (it’s built), how to stop dressing for everyone else, and the easiest ways to feel like yourself again—especially when mom-life has you running on fumes. Consider this your permission slip to wear the outfit, take up space, and let the neighbors whisper. 😌

In this episode, we talk about:

• Dress for you, not the neighbors (but yes… they will talk 😅)
• Style isn’t effortless — it takes time, experimenting, and confidence
• The secret to looking cool? Mismatch on purpose (it works)
• The 3 J’s that upgrade everything: Jeans + Jacket + Jewelry
• Travel tip: plan outfits ahead… and pack a ridiculous amount of underwear 🫠

Courtney also shares one of our favorite reminders: if you love it, keep it. Trends come and go, but the pieces that make you feel good will always come back around. And for the love of everything… stop asking, “Where would I even wear this?”
Answer: the grocery store. Always the grocery store.

January has everyone screaming new year, new you, but what if you actually don’t need fixing? In this episode, Lauren and Courtney ditch the pressure, talk honestly about reinvention, and unpack what starting over really looks like after burnout, divorce, loss, or just feeling completely stuck. It’s messy, funny, grounding, and very real.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why reinvention doesn’t require a resolution and how giving yourself space can change everything
• Starting over at any age (career shifts, divorce, identity changes, and the fear that comes with it)
• The power of saying no, setting boundaries, and choosing yourself without guilt
• How trust, energy, and the right people help guide you into what’s next

Perfect for anyone who feels stuck, restless, or quietly craving something more, without blowing up their entire life to get it.

In this episode of Let’s Get the Neighbors Talking, we sit down with Amanda Nova, wellness educator, intuitive, and the person you want explaining energy when you’re feeling something but don’t have the language for it.

We had just come out of a personal activation session with Amanda, so this conversation goes deep—but stays grounded. Think less “far out,” more ohhh… that actually makes sense. We talk about what energy activations really are, why intuition doesn’t have to be dramatic or mystical, and what it actually means to “wake up” without blowing up your life or losing your personality.

Here’s what we get into:

• What energy activations are and how they work in real life
• How Amanda bridges the physical body and energetic (light) body
• A clear, approachable explanation of celestial energy and the Council of Light
• Why “waking up” is really about remembering who you are, not becoming someone new
• How stuck energy can come from this life, past lives, or ancestral patterns
• Courtney’s activation experience and a powerful moment of remembrance
• Lauren’s past-life insight—and why control shows up so strongly in this lifetime
• Why grounding after energy work matters (Smoky Quartz, we see you)

We also talk about Amanda’s work, including 1:1 activations, group sessions, and her membership FrequencyRx, a searchable library of short, practical activations designed to support your energy without overwhelming you.

If you’re intuitive-curious, energy-aware, or just trying to understand why the vibe feels off lately, this episode is for you.

✨ Why your home has its own “energetic personality” — and how to work with it
🧂 A shockingly simple salt trick to clear stagnant “everyone just left my house” vibes
🚪 The tiny morning habit that invites opportunity and abundance right through your front door
💰 Where to place your wealth crystals and why intention is the real magic
🛏️ Bedroom Feng Shui 101 — setup tips for better sleep, better energy, and fewer “why am I awake?” nights
🧽 Why physical cleaning and energetic cleaning are not the same thing

Tis the Season to Give Up (the Stuff That’s Stealing Your Joy)

If the holidays have ever made you feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or pressure-cooked… same. But this year? We’re flipping the script.

Instead of forcing traditions, hustling for picture-perfect moments, or carrying the whole season on your back like a decorative pack mule, we’re talking about giving up the things that don’t spark joy so you can actually enjoy the parts that do.

We’re diving into what we’ve let go of, what we’re keeping, and how to make the holidays feel lighter, brighter, and way more fun. Plus, we talk openly about navigating tough seasons with grace and how joy and grief can sit at the same holiday table.

Here’s what went down:

🎁 The “give up” rule
Say no to a few things so you can say yes to what actually feels good.

🧸 Simplifying gifts
Less shopping, more meaning (and reusable bags for the win).

🕯️ Navigating hard holidays
A real moment about loss, resilience, and finding light in heavy seasons.

🏡 Choosing cozy over chaos
Permission to stay home, slow down, and do the day your way.

🎄 Laughing through the madness
Falling trees, mouth tape mix-ups, and Champagne-fueled toy building.

🌟 Finding your own version of cheer
Small, easy things that make the season yours—no comparisons needed.

It’s warm, uplifting, funny, and exactly the reminder we all need this time of year.
