Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, I’m joined by Jill Coats—videographer, director, and co-host of the Unscripted Work Wife podcast. Jill is the founder of One Forty Films, and began her journey with story telling through video at a very young age. We talk about her creative journey, how growing up with entrepreneurial role models shaped her mindset, and the tension between creating for art and creating for a paycheck. Jill shares her thoughts on rejection, success, goals, and why she refuses to box herself in. We also dive into the creative energy in Denver, the importance of hobbies, the art of pivoting, and why nature is such a grounding force in her life. If you're a fellow creative or just figuring it all out, this one’s for you xx

Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, we’re sitting down with serial entrepreneur and Gravity Haus founder, Jim Deters. Jim is a dad of three, an avid skier & biker, and a major force in the world of startups, hospitality, tech, and wellness. He’s built companies like Ascendant Tech, Galvanize, and now Gravity Haus—a boutique hotel and social club experience built for outdoor lovers & wanders seeking community. We talk about his journey from small-town Illinois to Vail, CO, how he made his first dollar, the lessons he’s learned building multiple companies, and why mindfulness is at the core of everything he does. He opens up about fatherhood, building companies with his wife Alicia, success, mental health, and what he’s most proud of (spoiler: it’s not his businesses). Such a powerful, honest conversation, and I learned SO much from the few hours we spent together. Can’t wait for you to hear it, and let us know your favorite takeaways.

Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week’s episode is truly an unscripted, unplanned, steam of consciousness- we sing, we question societal norms, we dissect White Lotus, and I loved every second. I’m joined by soul sisters Amanda Fowler and Jessa Fragnoli, co-hosts of the Consciously Unconscious podcast, and two of the most grounded, yet unserious, people I’ve ever met. Amanda’s a young mom of two, Jessa’s a yoga instructor; and even while typing that, I realize these roles don’t even begin to describe them. Together, they share a unique ability to bring humor and depth to every topic. We talk travel, dating, numerology, self-awareness, motherhood, and so much more. It’s the kind of episode that feels like a good therapy session with your best friends. Expect laughs, insight, and maybe even a little healing. I know you’ll love it, and catch their podcast right after you finish up this episode xx

Hello hello, and welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, I’m joined by besties, travel lovers, and creative powerhouses Chloe Talley and Ella Kelly — the founders of Unfiltered Co. These two have SO MUCH heart, soul, & honesty to share. We talk about what it’s like to feel out of place in college, that craving for “more,” and the wild journey of your 20s when you’re trying to find yourself in a world that feels like it already made the rules. From traveling in Tuscany and New Zealand, to starting their photography buiz, to battling comparison and imposter syndrome, these girls are living proof that you don’t need to follow the conventional path to be successful. They’re growing something really special — and tease a secret project coming soon too. This convo is a big, cozy hug for anyone figuring it all out in real time.

Howdy & welcome back to Raw Intentions Podcast. Took a solo moment today to have a little chat- we haven’t caught up since January, and are LONG overdue. I can’t believe what the last 3 months have been… I’ve done enough to last an entire year and am surviving off of fumes & vibes at this point. Cosplaying im 21 and not 30 HAHA that’s forsure. We’ve got some catching up, heart to hearts, things I’m looking forward to, new habits I’m obsessed with, business advice, and lots of lessons & musings from my mind. Loved every second, and hope you enjoy this solo chat xx

Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, we’re sitting down with Denver local, and the OG fitness influencer herself—Natalie Bally.
Natalie found her love for fitness and content creation in college, when she didn’t quite fit into the party scene and turned to YouTube for connection. Slowly but surely, she built a following, partnered with brands like Gymshark, and created a thriving online presence. But then, life threw her a curveball—going off birth control sent her hormones into a spiral, causing major weight gain, hormonal issues, PCOS, and a complete shift in how she saw herself. Feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, when you’re entire career revolves around sharing your life & your body, can be debilitating. She took a break from social media, spent years healing, and is now stepping back into the spotlight—this time with a whole new mindset. We talk about body changes, self-love, finding balance, and what it means to start fresh when the thing that once brought you joy starts to feel like a burden. It’s a raw, honest conversation about growth, and I know you’ll love it. Xo

Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, we’re talking about passion, purpose, and making an impact with Stephanie Villavicencio.
Stephanie’s journey started on the beaches of Florida, a surf obsessed beach bum, but life led her to Aspen, where she found a new purpose amongst mountains & snow. After cultivating her own community, and calling Carbondale home, her best friend got diagnosed with stage 3 Breast Cancer. What started as selling stickers out of her ski jacket, to help raise money for her friend, turned into something MUCH bigger. The sticker operation got its own website & iconic name, “Tits Deep For Breast Cancer,” and the rest is history. Now, her nonprofit is making waves, raising awareness for early detection in young women—something deeply personal to her after losing her mom to breast cancer at just two years old. We talk about her journey, the importance of advocacy, and the clothing & sister company, Chest High, that she’s building alongside her nonprofit. Stephanie is a force, and this episode is one you need to hear. Xo

Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, we have THE Lexi Larson on the pod—content creator, business owner, and the ultimate example of what happens when you bet on yourself. Lexi spent years in a corporate, soul sucking job, as many of us can relate, and decided there must be more to life. So she woke up one day, got out of her own way, and started posting vlogs. She built her brand by being unapologetically herself—no forced aesthetic, no trying to fit into a box, just real, raw, relatable content. Over time, she’s grown a loyal following on TikTok and Instagram, and now, she’s taken things a step further by launching her own clothing brand, Sunday Cherries. We get into the nitty-gritty of starting a business, navigating finances (transparently, of course), overcoming struggles, and what she’s learned along the way. Lexi is hilarious, relatable, and SO inspiring- truly a self made success. If you’ve ever dreamed of quitting your job and going after something big, this episode is for you. Enjoy! Xo

Hello & welcome back to Raw Intentions! This week, we’re heading to Carbondale, CO, with Jenny Verrochi—avid snowboarder, entrepreneur, and the mastermind behind Buck Wild Coffee & Boot Tan Fest. Jenny grew up with nature at the center of her world; watching her parents trade coffee for lift tickets and build their own coffee company from the ground up.

We discuss his journey, starting in NYC with a love for music (notably 200 + Phish shows), and wanting to get more involved in the industry. He details what started as a blog, that blew up into a MASSIVE company; eventually throwing music festivals of his own. After this entrepreneurial metamorphosis though, came a metamorphosis of the mind. Kunj leads us through his sobriety, and the life changing benefits of meditation, mindfulness, and regulating your nervous system. This was SUCH a valuable, high vibrational conversation.
