The Floating Experiment: Recent Episodes

View Details

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!

[3:31] Trying to be present in summer

[3:46] Sometimes you have to just ride the waves

[4:00] Sharing my experience going backpacking for the first time alone (just me and Cauchy)

[5:33] I like doing things alone and and comfortable being out by myself and backpacking felt like a new way to push myself outside my comfort zone

[6:08] I wanted to feel really connected to the earth, to the universe, to myself

[6:20] I had a vision of being out in nature, completely at peace and calm but that’s not what happened

[6:48] I learned a lot from the experience

[6:56] I was challenged more than I expected even though I was as ready as I could be

[7:27] I’m still processing everything that came up during that experience

[7:40] I’m proud of myself for doing something I didn’t have to do!

[7:55] I wanted to prove to myself that I could backpack alone overnight

[8:15] When you’re alone there’s no external motivation

[8:40] There were so many moments I want to complain when the hike got hard

[8:51] I recorded videos on my phone to help me acknowledge that it was hard and to help motivate myself.

[9:14] I had a moment where I felt like I should “push through” and I reframed that “push through” energy

[9:44] “We’re not pushing through anymore; we love ourself more now.”

[9:55] Taking a break and going slowly was an act of self-love. Taking a break is an act of deep self-care

[10:51] This entire trip wasn’t about getting to the destination. It’s cliché to say, but it was really about the journey.

[11:27] It felt like growth to say “I love myself and I don’t need to compete with anyone else or even a past version of me.”

[11:44] Every day we wake up feeling different and we can honor the energy of each day.

[12:08] When I got to the top, I started to feel sick and started to panic.

[12:58] I did crave being home and being comfortable again, but I was able to calm myself down again.

[13:40] Unexpectedly I found comfort and an anchor through someone else

[14:06] We’re not meant to do things alone. Support as you navigate your path alone can be really beneficial

[14:28] This trip softened me.

[14:58] A highlight of the trip was witnessing the sky with the stars and the moon and an outline of the mountain.

[15:32] I thought being out in the dark would be a hurdle to overcome but it’s the moment where I felt the most at peace.

[16:14] I’ve been physically recovering and sitting with all the new facets that revealed themselves.

[16:36] I started looking at office spaces to work from

[16:55] I’m excited about having a place to go work and be in the collective flow of energy

I recorded this episode while Mercury was in retrograde and am using this opportunity to reflect on what’s been working for me in my life and what I can release. I spend some time talking about big life changes, how we’re meant to grow and shift throughout our lives. Life is short and you’re meant to experience all of it: the highs, the lows, all the goodness, and all the discomfort. If you’re in a life transition, then this episode would be a great listen for you.

Timestamps
[0:32] Mercury is in retrograde as I record!

[0:46] The retrograde is an opportunity to reflect and not the time to take action.

[1:49] I’m taking time to think about the intentions I made during the new moon.

[2:10] I’m feeling open and at peace as I create space to both release and welcome what’s new

[3:17] Life is both short and long. Think about the time when you’re a child and how long every day feels but then when you grow up and look back it feels fast.

[3:57] We’re here to experience all parts of life.

[4:15] when you want to grow and change there’s a lot of discomfort that can come with it

[4:36] What big life shifts can feel like

[5:04] It took me years to fully shift into this new version of myself

[5:49] It’s normal to feel out of sorts and like there’s something wrong with you when navigating change but that’s not true.

[6:40] the in between space can be magical

[6:50] you get to choose who you want to be

[6:58] sometimes you have to reintroduce yourself to the world

[7:23] some people won’t want to grow and change with you

[7:30] Your relationships might change and you get to choose what works for you

[7:51] Remember you have a choice and you don’t have to meet the expectations others have for you.

[8:05] It’s okay to confuse other people

[8:16] You can always pivot if things feel too uncomfortable

[8:31] Relationships are fluid and aren’t meant to stay one way

[8:41] Some things will fall away when they no longer fit. It’s important to grieve these losses.

[9:00] I lost a lot when I closed my jewelry company

[10:02] An exercise to let go

[10:12] That version of myself was dying so I wrote a eulogy for that past version of me to honor her

[10:52] Once I released the old version of myself, I created space to get to know myself all over again

[11:28] We get to have a beautiful experience of getting to know ourselves over and over again

[11:42] You can’t compare an ending to a beginning

[12:13] This time of year is great for new beginnings

[13:30] My intention for the next month is to get to know myself on a deeper level and nurture the seeds I planted

[13:01] I’m committing to starting my morning routine again

[13:33] If you’re interested you can journal with me

[13:49] If you’re new to journaling or want more structure, you can download my free guided journal for setting intentions

[15:05] Be kind to yourself

I am so excited to share this meditation with you. This meditation is intended to help guide you inward toward your inner wisdom. It starts with a body scan and then I guide you through a visualization to help you connect. There’s a few minutes of quiet as an opportunity for you to just be. I invite you to find a comfortable spot in your space as you listen.

It’s been 4 months since I last updated you! I didn’t intentionally mean to ghost you, yet here we are. In this episode I will catch you up on everything that’s been happening with me and talk about my intentions for the future as we shift from winter into spring. I’ve been feeling called to slow down, and I invite you to do the same if it feels good. I announce my departure from social media and where you can find future updates from me. (Spoiler: it’s mainly here and then my monthly newsletter.)

[9:15] I started trying to create the perfect set of circumstances that would make me feel inspired to create

I’m podcasting from a very special location today! You’ll have to listen to find out exactly where I am. I share what I’m doing, how it flowed for me to travel, and my thoughts on the mind’s judgment. My favorite line from this episode is when I say “the universe doesn’t care whether you eat a cheeseburger or salad.” Which is so true! There are no right or wrong choices, simply infinite possibilities of how we get to experience our lives. If you’re feeling stuck in your mind’s judgment and the “shoulds” of life, I encourage you to listen to this episode.

Timestamps

[00:45] Catching you up on what’s been happening for me

[1:28] Talking about the rules my mind has created rules about how to live and what is “best”

[2:30] Letting my mind set the tone for the day

[2:58] Sharing how routine can look different than what you might expect

[3:30] Talking about judgment and how can we let judgment exist and accept it

[4:12] I address the framework of “right choices and wrong choices”

[5:00] Where I am recording from and why

[8:20] I let my Inner Voice lead the way for my entire trip

[9:15] The mind doesn’t always know what is best

[9:53] I’m coming back home to myself

[10:28] Meeting online friends in real life

[11:20] I find myself wanting to live up to the expectations of others, but I’m going to focus on what is best for me

[12:30] I’ve been spending a lot of time with myself

[12:46] How judgment has shown up on my trip

[13:05] Letting going of “should”

[13:26] There are not right and wrong choices

[15:10] The mind will always use the same framework and impose it onto to every situation

[15:30] Let go of judging the mind and notice and honor where you’re at

[17:30] The beauty of “I don’t know”

[18:44] There is so much beauty in the unknown, and it’s okay to change your mind

[21:15] Honor where you’re at in life

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. I talk about fate versus free will and explore the idea that maybe what we’re feeling is intentional and points us towards something we need to call in. 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 something important.

Timestamps

[1:23] Align + Flow meditation and intention setting workshop announcement

[2:48] Thoughts on finding purpose and free will v. fate

[3:43] My life lesson is learning how to be independent and being unapologetically myself

[4:09] Exploring “aloneness”

[4:42] Acknowledging that I was a loner growing up even though I was super involved in activities

[5:41] My feeling of being alone has carried with me since I was young and it’s time to confront it

[6:11] Acknowledging that I’m a people pleaser while also being very independent and that’s okay!

[7:18] I feel like I don’t want to burden others and too much alone time makes me feel invisible.

[7:40] Sometimes things happen that can reaffirm negative beliefs we hold about ourselves like when I wasn’t invited to a gathering and felt forgotten

[8:28] It was hard to be forgotten off the list and hurt

[8:55] Intention and impact are different

[9:10] This event reaffirmed the belief that I’m alone

[9:50] I feel alone in my experience and unsure what to do about it

[10:08] Are these feelings by design?

[10:24] Trying to make feelings go away often creates more frustration

[11:47] We are transitioning into a different season that is inward facing

[12:20] What am I being called to learn with these deep feelings of “aloneness”?

[13:18] Feeling alone creates a desire for connection

[13:50] This feeling of being alone is here because it’s calling me to something

[14:18] All kinds of connection are important from family and close friends to the people at your local coffee shop

[15:01] We all need all kinds of connection throughout our life. Different periods will have different levels of connection versus aloneness

[15:32] Feelings are not facts

[15:47] Our minds love to create stories and we don’t actually know what others are thinking about us

[16:06] How can I create a new set of beliefs and thoughts to live by

[16:33] Our minds can only hold a limited amount of information and create a filter with which to see the world

[17:40] I can’t choose what is outside of me, but I do have control over my thoughts, beliefs, and intentions

[18:08] I often feel really stuck, and maybe I’m ready to shift

[18:30] There’s power to speaking your thoughts out loud and getting it out of your head

[19:19] You are always welcome to share your thoughts with me and I want this relationship to be a two way connection.

[19:47] Creating community is really important to me

[20:27] I hope you find a way to express what is on your mind and I am ready to listen when/if you feel ready

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 stop living in the “shallow end” of life. I’m inviting in the courage to be even more vulnerable and share more of myself.

I end by inviting you to have the courage to chase your dreams, and I’m always here to share what I’m going through in the hope that you feel less alone.

Timestamps

[1:06] I share my plans for this show on my birthday

[1:44] I share my opinion about birthdays and why I decided to record this episode on my birthday even though I don’t like birthdays

[2:22] Why is it uncomfortable for us to ask to be celebrated?

[3:14] Following my intuition has led to feeling in alignment and moments of life feeling “fated”

[3:38] Letting go of what’s not working to pursue what is most authentic

[4:04] Living life fully, embracing joy and contentment, being open to all kinds of experiences

[4:36] Stepping into the unknown without needing to know all the answers

[5:02] All we have is the now. We can’t “read ahead” in real life

[5:22] It’s okay to dream and to think about the future to help inform what’s happening in the present moment

[5:45] What is the meaning behind goals and how can you bring those feelings into your life currently?

[6:06] It’s important to spend time in joy, in creativity, letting go of the need to be hyper productive

[6:12] Productivity doesn’t necessarily lead to joy, contentment, or fulfillment

[6:39] I contemplate creating space in our lives. Creating space is an active choice

[7:16] In July I’m not pressuring myself to fill my calendar and not work too much

[7:33] not being productive can be challenging and can be difficult to navigate sometimes

[8:07] I’ve been spending time going on long walks with Cauchy, journaling, reading a book just because, enjoying being in the present moment

[8:30] This past year has been about transition and change, I’ve learned it’s hard to go after the things I want in life

[8:57] Instead of saying yes or no to opportunities, I’m going to start naming the things I want and pursuing those

[9:20] You can’t get what you want without naming it first

[9:32] One of the things I’m going after is working on writing my first novel

[9:51] It’s uncomfortable for me to say I’m a writer, but I am a writer. I write every day and want to pursue my novel and see what happens

[10:18] Shifting this show was hard, but this new show feels like it fits

[10:40] The Floating Experiment was a necessary step forward and I’m so grateful for it

[10:56] I hope my journey resonates with you

[11:11] I’m here living my life and sharing my experiences alongside you and that you feel a little less alone

[12:44] I’m inviting in the courage to be even more vulnerable and to share my true desires and go after them so I can get to a deeper level of living and experiencing

[13:10] I’m ready to dive even deeper after being in what I call the “shallow end”

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 needs. She explains her visualization process, which has gratitude as a foundation to allow you to appreciate what you have before you open the door to whatever comes next. Next, Beth lays out the pathway that she gives to her clients to help them to achieve their dreams, which can involve quitting your job or making small changes to your life that gradually move you closer to your ultimate vision.

We also dive into different techniques around writing a “To Do” list, a tool that can help you to align yourself with your vision. Beth gives a great “To Do” technique which will help you to focus only on the essentials. Listen out as well for Beth’s tips on leaving a corporate job and transitioning into working for yourself, which could really help you if this is part of your vision for your future.

Please subscribe to the podcast to help The Floating Experiment to flourish, and share this episode with a friend who’s starting out on a journey towards transformation.

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 and outs of a creative life, from what creativity actually is, to how exercising creativity ties in deeply with our sense of wellbeing. She also outlines what the role of a creativity guide is and how a creativity guide can help you overcome your creative blocks. Maria believes that creativity is a muscle and should be treated as an exercise, where you give yourself permission to warm up and have a few bad attempts before you launch into your main project. We should value these bad attempts as part of the process, rather than beating ourselves up for not being perfect the first time round.

Listen out to the end of the episode to discover what Maria’s most recent creative projects are, and her advice on how to make space in your life for your creativity.

Please subscribe to the podcast for more interviews with passionate, creative individuals and share this episode with someone you know who’s struggling with a creative roadblock in their life.

Do you have an interest in astrology, but you have no idea where to begin? This episode is for you. I have the pleasure of hosting the amazing Helena Woods. She gives us a clear understanding of astrocartography and teaches us how to read a map/chart.

Did you know that reading your chart can help you align with the energy you need to get to where you want to be? Helena will explain how different points on your map can guide you to achieve different things in life. She will use my chart as an example. If you would like to read your map, Helena recommends using astro.com.

Traveling is not for everyone, and many people believe that if you are into astrology, you need to travel for you benefit from all the energies in different places on your maps. According to Helena, you do not need to travel. She will share actionable tips that you can use to tap into the energy from wherever you are. Also, Helena will help us understand how our signs affect our maps and charts.

Magical Quotes from the Episode:

“The more you communicate, the more good luck you’ll have because Jupiter is all about blessings and good luck.”

“If your sun is above, on the top half of the natal chart, then that means that your most unprofitable planet would be Mars.”

“Look at your map, see what the energy you want to harness, and then look to that line and infuse that culture.”

“Anyone who wants to write a book, making a course or just creating a big thing, go to a Saturn MC line because that’s where you’ll be disciplined and focused, and you’ll get that hard work done.”

“A lot of the energy that we see on our birthplace follows with us. It stays with us as we move.”

“Nothing is good or bad in life. There are no bad lines. There are no bad planets. They’re just challenging and maybe a little more preferable than the more preferable ones. But they all help and support us in our growth and evolvement.”

On today’s episode, I chat with the inspiring Eos, a soulful web designer and business coach. Originally from Switzerland, Eos moved to Menorca with her multicultural family, where she runs her business. Eos brings a purposeful and spiritual edge to website design, helping other businesses to achieve their goals through the means of a beautifully crafted website.

Eos and I start out by discussing how a website can be a manifestation tool. Manifestation is becoming more of a mainstream idea, but many people believe that it’s still a little out there. However, Eos defines manifestation as a magnet for the things that you want in your life, whether that’s in your job, your relationship or something else entirely. This magnet begins with trusting yourself to know what’s best for you, and then following your own vision for your life. Eos walked me through her Highest Timeline Exercise, which can help you to develop your vision and to work out what’s important for you in the future, even if that goes against what others want or expect you to do.

We also cover Eos’ three layers of the self, which puts self-leadership at the top of the pyramid. Self-leadership is directing yourself to achieve the things you want, by making small choices now that take you in the direction that you want to go. Eos also offers a coaching program to help people position themselves for self-leadership, which you can find out more about on her website.
