Messy & Magnificent with Karlee Fain ·

2025/11/30

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 Here's a question we don’t tend to ask ourselves: What if the dark isn't something to escape? What if chaos, disintegration, and incoherence are just natural parts of living? Like soil in the earth where things regenerate and new life takes root. Instead of asking "How fast can I get out of this hard time?" What if we started asking, "What am I bringing to the dark?" That question hands the power back to you.

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 If you woke up tired today, not from a crisis, but just from living, this one's for you. Because here's the thing: most of us don't break down because we're weak. We get worn out because we've been strong for too darn long. You know how to show up. You know how to push through. But do you know how to notice the person inside the body doing all of that? That's where regeneration comes in. And no, we're not

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 We cannot transform what we won’t touch. It takes real valor to tell the truth about what’s not working, especially when life feels both brutal and beautiful all at once. For leaders, caregivers, and high achievers, it can seem absurd to care so fiercely about the world and still need to answer emails, load the dishwasher, or fold laundry. Yet this is the paradox of modern leadership: holding what’s enorm...

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 If your brain still whispers, “If I don’t do it, it won’t get done,” you’re not alone. High-achievers and caregivers alike have been conditioned to believe that love means carrying it all — every project, every person, every crisis. But what if that belief is quietly depleting the very ecosystem you’re meant to thrive in? This week, Karlee invites us to explore what happens when we stop trying to be everything

2025/10/05

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 The world tells us progress is measured in speed, output, and proof. Yet some of the most powerful shifts happen in the smallest, quietest moments—a breath you actually notice, a slow stir of the pot, a walk with no destination. What if the habits that seem “unproductive” are the very ones that make you steadier, clearer, and braver in your leadership? This week, Karlee unpacks the paradox of modern leade...

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 The air is getting cooler, the light is waning earlier each night, and yet…the drumbeat to “finish strong” grows louder. The pressure to do more is palpable, to push harder and squeeze just a little extra out of yourself before the year ends. But that call to “finish strong”, well… by year's end, it leaves us feeling weaker. And if your inner life is running on fumes, is that really success? What if real ...

New strategies, fresh pivots, the endless push for “more.” But what if the most powerful move isn’t chasing something new, but noticing what’s already working and leaning into that? This is the season to reconnect with your own definition of success. Not the one shaped by other people’s expectations, but the one

2025/08/24

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 When was the last time you slowed down long enough to notice what truly matters? In a culture that glorifies endless productivity, it can feel radical to measure our lives not by what we produce but by what we prioritize. And yet, the research, and our lived experience, is clear… Doing more doesn’t necessarily mean achieving more. Choosing to honor your pace is not indulgence, it’s leadership. It’s innova...

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 “Just to like live it.” That's what seven-year-old Julian said when asked about the meaning of life. Kids really do know things we forget. One of those things is the pure joy in the simplicity of just living life, basking in the moment. Why talk about basking when everyone's telling you to hustle harder? Because in a culture that equates worth with output, choosing your own pace isn't ju...

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 If you're the one everyone comes to for solutions, the one who holds it all together at home and work, have you ever wondered…”Why is it always me?” Being "the fixer" isn't just about what we do. It's about the internal compulsion we feel to step in, solve problems, and carry the weight when things get hard. It's the guilt we experience when we can't fix everything, and the quiet exhaustion that comes fro...

So why does it feel so... strange? Somehow, the discomfort of this in-between feels more unsettling than the chaos you left behind.

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 Change doesn't always arrive the way we expect it to. Have you ever had your world turned upside down, only to realize later it was the doorway to something better? Something bigger? Maybe even something more honest? Whether change knocks politely or crashes through your door uninvited, it always asks something of you—and it offers something in return. Change is never just logistical. It’s always personal.

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 If you’re languishing and you know it, clap your hands. (Or roll your eyes.) Why acknowledge something as unglamorous as languishing? Because recognizing how you’re really feeling is the first step to getting unstuck. It's the moment the door cracks open. If we want something to shift, we have to be willing to see it first. And clapping? Laughing when you’re frustrated? Groaning mid-eye-roll? These are small

🌟 Click to Send Karlee a Text - We Want To Hear Your Thoughts About This Episode 🌟 When’s the last time you felt a real spark of joy? Not just “this is nice” happy, but full-body, eyes-light-up, heart-exhale joy. Maybe it was curling up with your dog and a good book. Swinging with your kiddo at the playground. Or three whole minutes of peace with your coffee and the sunrise. That’s joy. And we don’t just want more of it—we need it. Joy isn’t fluff. It’s not a reward for getting e...

It has to do with the power they access. But when we shift from seeing power as a control to understanding it as a path to more steadiness and deeper connection, we open ourselves up to a more sustainable way of being in the world.

Well, then welcome. You’ve landed in your very own "terrible fork phase". It’s a funny way to define those moments when progress is slow and our initial efforts feel clumsy or underwhelming.
