MEET DAVINA & KAMI
Self-awareness is an inside job; no one can tell you what you're feeling or thinking or how to live your life. So why do we (Davina and Kami) have careers and a podcast dedicated to self-awareness, something we ultimately have no control over with our clients and listeners?
It's simple: we believe in self-help and the daily pursuit of personal and professional development through gaining knowledge, skills, and tools. Why? Because this is our jam. We love the transformational power that comes with education, and as a result, we know the common pitfalls of self-help firsthand.
- Self-help cannot cover the variety and mixture of everyone’s experiences, knowledge, and perceptions.
- When we (anyone) read a book, an article, or take a class, we are learning and experiencing it through the hundreds of lenses of our meaning-making (much of it preexisting). Keep in mind this is the SAME mindset and meaning-making that found us (any of us) in the space of buying self-help in the first place. So you can see the paradoxical nature of self-help.
- Lastly, we must determine which of the billions of self-help solutions will give us the most bang for our buck.
So what is a person to do?
This can present quite a conundrum and trigger feelings of frustration and hopelessness.
As personal development coaches, we aren't problem-solvers but astute listeners and observers. We utilize the power of inquiry and our expansive library of knowledge and skills-building tools with our clients, online community memberships, and podcast-listening communities to help cultivate conscious awareness and uncover what's potentially getting in the way of seeing the problems accurately. This, in turn, impacts what you decide to change to achieve your goals.
We are excited to share our one-on-one "Mindful Exchanges" in the hopes they will give listeners additional perspectives and food for thought about their own lives.
Even better, We are willing to have mindful exchanges directly with you! Feel free to reach out via our contact page for help or to give us another perspective (we may read your comments on an upcoming episode), or you can join our Mindful Exchange social media community to express your thoughts.
There is no better time than right now to move toward living the life you're meant to live!
Below, you will see special planned podcast segments and various self-awareness programs that both of us offer. We are multitalented and passionate women seeking to empower others to live their best life.

ALL LIFE IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS!
There is much that goes on within the conscious and subconscious mind: magnificently keeping us alive, protecting us from harm, helping us to make a living, driving us to make those cherished bonds/connections with others and much more. Yet oddly enough, we often allow ourselves to go on autopilot, failing to connect with our conscious desires, plans, and subconscious overrides, at least in a deeply meaningful way. As a result, our relationship with ourselves is disconnected. Does this sound like you?
If yes, the Best at Being ME! program might be right for you! It is a 12-week creative journey designed to give you the tools, combined with exploratory creativity (drawing, painting, collaging, etc.) techniques and tools, to discover and express who you are so that you can design the life you want to live.
After all, the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself, and NO ONE is better at knowing YOUR STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS than YOU!
THE UNPLEASANT TRUTH - TOUCHY TOPICS PEOPLE AVOID
We're excited to offer a segment called "Unpleasant Truth," where we'll discuss topics often seen as dark, negative, or controversial but important to address to live authentically and build resilience. These topics may include narcissistic parents, childhood trauma, marital infidelity, good girls picking bad boys, mental illness, depression, workplace conflict, parenting a difficult child, and so much more.
It's not easy to talk about these topics, but they are a part of life for many people, and it's important to find ways to understand, cope with, and manage them healthily and mindfully. We know these topics can be triggering for some people, and we encourage you to take care of yourself and reach out for support if needed. It's okay to take a break from listening if you need to, and we encourage you to find resources and support in your community if you're struggling.
One of the goals of the "Unpleasant Truth" segment is to offer a non-judgmental space for these kinds of conversations. We believe that openly and honestly discussing these topics can help build resilience for the future and bring about compassion. We hope the "Unpleasant Truth" segment will be a helpful and supportive resource for you on your journey toward self-awareness, authenticity, and resilience.
