In this episode of How to Stay Human, Tori and Kyle open a conversation that sits at the core of personal transformation — the difference between values and virtues, and why virtues are the true compass of the soul.

Values are often inherited… taught… or projected onto us by culture, religion, or institutions.

But virtues?
Virtues are embodied.
They live in the body, in the heart, in the soul. They are the qualities of your essence — courage, honesty, devotion, awe, patience, truthfulness, creativity, trust, and more.

Together, Tori and Kyle walk through:

• Why values often feel rigid, performative, or socially prescribed
• Why virtues are alive, adaptive, and deeply personal
• How virtues help you return to yourself during seasons of uncertainty
• How to identify your “home frequency”
• How to map your own virtue design (your soul’s operating system)
• What underdeveloped virtues are trying to teach you
• How virtues show up inside partnership and mirror your growth
• Why your virtues shape your reputation, impact, and spiritual expression
• How to use virtues as a framework for healing, clarity, and self-leadership

This is a foundational episode — one that will change the way you understand yourself, your relationships, and the path you’re walking.

If you’re feeling lost, unsure, or in transition… this episode will bring you home.

• Virtues vs. values

• Virtue mapping
• Embodiment vs. performance
• Soul-led decision making

This is the story behind the biggest leap of our lives.

In this new episode of How to Stay Human, Tori and Kyle open up about the decision to leave Las Vegas, uproot their entire lives, and begin again in Austin — not from fear, not from pressure, but from alignment, trust, and truth.

This episode is an intimate look at what it means to follow your soul when the path is unclear, the timing feels inconvenient, and the stakes are high.

It’s about endings done well, beginnings done bravely, and learning to trust the signs that guide you into your next chapter.

We explore how to choose calling over comfort, how to maintain sovereignty inside relationship, how to honor the seasons of your life, and why true partnership never asks you to abandon yourself.

This is a conversation about alignment, courage, devotion, and the unknown — and what becomes possible when you say yes before you have all the answers.

The fear and excitement of starting over in a new city

Why all meaningful change begins with a single yes

How to know when a season of your life is complete

Why endings deserve intention, closure, and respect

How to live from calling rather than comfort

The difference between commitment and devotion

How to stay sovereign inside relationship

What it means to follow signs instead of logic

Why resistance to change creates suffering

Asking the question: What do you want to be known for in this chapter?

You feel a life change coming, but you’re afraid to act

You’re in a season of uncertainty, transition, or initiation

You want to learn how to hear and trust your intuition

You’re craving deeper alignment and more honesty with yourself

You’re exploring partnership, sovereignty, and conscious relating

You need permission to end a chapter — or begin one

What if health wasn’t just physical—but a full-spectrum experience of being alive?

In this continuation of The Seven Energetic Bodies, Tori and Kyle return to complete the holistic framework that’s shaped how they live, love, and lead. In Part II, they explore the social, financial, primal, and spiritual bodies—the energetic dimensions that connect us to belonging, abundance, vitality, and divine purpose.

This is a grounded, heartfelt conversation about how to build real balance in a world that glorifies hustle, isolation, and survival. Through personal stories, practical frameworks, and spiritual insight, they reveal what it means to live in alignment—body, mind, and soul.

What We Cover

The social body: building conscious relationships rooted in truth and boundaries

The financial body: transforming your relationship with money and self-worth

The primal body: reconnecting to nature, movement, and instinct

The spiritual body: deepening your connection to the divine

Why balance begins with awareness

How avoidance, neglect, and disconnection show up across all seven bodies

The importance of co-elevation and growing with your community

How money mirrors your internal state of value and trust

Practices to return to your primal and spiritual intelligence

Why awareness—not perfection—is the first step toward wholeness

This Episode Is For You If:

You feel off balance or out of rhythm in your body or relationships

You’re craving deeper connection—to yourself, others, and Spirit

You’ve been avoiding your finances or feel disempowered with money

You sense that your modern life has disconnected you from nature

You want to live with more purpose, stability, and spiritual integrity
