  2. 113: An EMPOWERING way of looking at “PERIODS,” “PERIMENOPAUSE,” and “MENOPAUSE” - let’s ALL talk about it

    APR 29

    113: An EMPOWERING way of looking at “PERIODS,” “PERIMENOPAUSE,” and “MENOPAUSE” - let’s ALL talk about it

    This is a listen for EVERYONE, not just those who experience these transitions. The more educated all of us can be, the more supported and empowered we all become.  I have the words period, perimenopause and menopause in quotes for a reason. These transitions were not always labeled this way. Do you ever wonder WHY they were created or WHO created these labels? What if we look at these life transitions differently? Instead of seeing them as something we fear or dread or as a hardship, what if we take the approach of our indigenous elders and ancient wisdom and see them as times of shifting wisdom and times of empowerment and strength?  So instead of calling these transitions and experiences periods, perimenopause, and menopause, we go back to our elders who saw them as CYCLES and rhythms of bleeding or not bleeding, liminal spaces that allow for rest and high and low energy, paying attention to the cycles of the moon, the cycles of our bodies, the rhythms of nature.  indigenous and ancient wisdom keepers who saw these times as shifts into wisdom, new seasons, new rhythms. Shifts in our energy. Shifts in our power. Not something to fear or survive. Instead of shaming and suppressing what if we, collectively, CELEBRATED these transitions and honored the wisdom that comes within each?!  I want to notice how my body, mind and spirit shift when I bleed and how I experience each phase differently. I want to embrace this time of fluctuation in my cycle where everything looks and feels different and instead of dismissing or silencing or being angry at what is happening, I embrace curiosity and wonder WITH my body, mind, spirit about how things are shifting. And ASK myself: what do I need? What would be supportive? What is being communicated with me right now?  I’m not saying these times don’t come with challenges and pain and frustration. People’s experiences range from mild to debilitating and they can just plain suck. I’ve experienced some symptoms in every transition so far that have been rough and yet, my body and mind are always giving me information to look at in order to address whatever is showing up. And this will look different for every body. It’s not always easy but it’s also not something I want to run from or dismiss or hate. We ALL need to be educated and empowered by what half the population experiences.  Reclaim!! Have agency!! Reframe!! Empower yourself and others!! Use your cycle to your advantage. No more hiding. No more disrespecting our bodies. Work WITH your cycle not in resistance to it. Show your pride and ownership No more giving away your power and feeling shame about what you are experiencing. Name your experiences without shame. We bleed, we stop bleeding. And there are myriad experiences in between.  This is my invitation to all of you: make a tiny little shift toward embracing these major life transitions. Honor yourself. Honor your sacred wisdom. Be gentle and gracious with yourself. Support the show You are a big deal. Your story matters. Keep showing up.

  4. 111: A Guided Meditation - what is a question about which you would like more guidance?

    APR 6

    111: A Guided Meditation - what is a question about which you would like more guidance?

    For this meditation, find a comfortable and safe space seated, lying down or however feels the best for your body. Before beginning, start with a question about which you would like more guidance, preferably open-ended (why, how, what). If you have access to a journal, you can write down what comes through for you at the end of the meditation. This can be done anytime to connect with your intuition, your highest consciousness, the Divine, your team of light. May your soul be nourished. Support the show You are a big deal.

    FEB 17

    109: ACCEPTANCE - Courageous Love

    Solo episode today. I talk about ACCEPTANCE and what is means to courageously love. *FYI: I use the F-word multiple times in this podcast so if you have littles that you don't want hearing this word, save this for another time; you'll understand the use of the word as I speak... *This podcast is for people who are able to take aligned action right now *I invite you to be a little uncomfortable with me; I share some things that will challenge you and that may activate some resistance within you *“Suffering is born and raised in the gap between what is and what I believe it should have been” - Yaron Etzion; He continues, "What you resist persists. Be available to experience whatever life has to offer. It’s easier to let go. It’s harder to suffer.” *I am not saying to be complicit or just let harm happen; I’m saying, why would we want to contribute more harmful energy to an already harmful situation *get curious about how you are showing up and how it affects you which ultimately affects everyone else in the world because whether we like it or not, we are all connected and what we say matters and how we say it matters *Go the courageous route of love, not the easy route of hate *This isn’t bypassing or crap positivity; it’s a pivot to a way of existing that helps raise the vibration instead of contributing to the low frequencies of fear, hate, anger, judgment *love takes courage, hate is easy *David Hawkins - Power vs Force - high-frequency states / low-frequency states *We have to do it in a way that is loving because if we continue in this defensive hate-filled way, we’re cooked and I’m not ready to be cooked. I got stuff to do in this lifetime and I believe all of us do. We just need a lot of us to be doing the courageous work of loving *bell hooks - courageous love  *move toward acceptance, releasing resistance and control, and allowing life to move through us *How would it feel to choose acceptance of what is? *What happens in your body when you become activated by something someone does or says? What does it feel like in your body when you pause before responding or reacting? Is something reflected back to you that you can look at with love? Your habits continue to show up until you make changes.  *I allow life to move through me without resistance. *I am safe to release old patterns that no longer serve me. *I accept this moment as it is. *Let’s see what happens when we live the belief that love is more powerful than fear and hate.
