The Salty Club The Salty Club

Hello and welcome to the salty club podcast, I am your host Caitlin Creeper and I am here today with the first episode of a new series, Poems with Mates.
Here I will be inviting some talented humans in our community to come up to the stage, share a poem, a song, a piece of writing of theirs and share why it matters to them.
First up is the incredibly talented Lily Bui, PhD. She’s a Spanish Speaking Vietnamese American, MIT Alum 2016 and 2020, athlete, academic, artist, poet, singer activist and a first gen surfer, skater and seeker. If there’s anyone who exemplifies the many facets of a woman, it is this woman and I am so excited for you to here the beautiful song she’ll be playing today, and what the song means to her. Let’s go.

Have you ever had the thought “I can’t because I am a mother” or “I need to wait until the children are older”?
Meet Rebecca Freeman. Rebecca is the vision keeper for a New Paradigm for Motherhood. She activates women to create a New Paradigm for Motherhood that is based on a strong foundation of unlearning old programming and conditioning that is ready to be transformed into freedom and empowerment through authenticity and truth.
Currently Rebecca is back living in Australia with her children after six months working and training with powerful healers overseas. She spends her days activating mamas all over the globe, empowering them to embody the true mother energy that this world is craving.
In this interview Caitlin and Rebecca discuss such ideas as:
What if becoming a mother is the gateway to being more of you, not less?
What if motherhood can actually be the catalyst for women to rebirth themselves, to harness more personal power, to have bigger dreams and greater goals?
How can a mother reclaim her sexual energy after birth?
What if motherhood isn’t about sacrifice after all?

The title speaks for itself :) A short, five minute unconventional meditation to help in the 'letting go' of things

“Be daring, be different. In choosing to live a remarkable life, failure is a real possibility, but regrets are completely optional. If one plan doesn’t work out, you can try something else—but if you never try, you’ll go to your grave with your song still in you,
In the history of the world, provocative ideas that challenged authority were rarely welcomed by the people who controlled access to power and wealth. Assert integrity against the play-it-safers and slaves of the ordinary."
- Henry David Thoreau

Why do we get so embarrassed when we’re learning a new sport or skill or craft? I call it beginner’s shame. 
PERSON: “Are these your paintings?”
US: “I mean, yes… but like, I’m JUST STARTING and I haven’t had any OFFICIAL TRAINING and this is just a HOBBY, and these paintings here aren’t my BEST ONES, you know, and uh…”
I notice it in the surf, girls who are learning, yet sit out on the shoulder and don’t go for waves when they roll in, simply because some old dude is going for it, too.
And in the girls’ head she has this running dialogue like “well… they’re probably a better surfer and i’m just going to fall off anyway so, you know, I’ll just wait for another one.”
 
I get it. We don’t really allow much space for people in this world who are just… average at something.
 In this solocast Caitlin talks about her journey with beginner's shame, how she moved past it and some advice to get going on that thing you've always wanted to

Through sound we access a state of meditation where we can reach the clarity needed to dispose of what weights us down, therefore reseting our nervous system and making space for new information.
