    POWER PAUSE (#2 of 2): Fiercely Claim & Create Space for What Matters to You

    POWER PAUSE (#2 of 2): Fiercely Claim & Create Space for What Matters to You

    The third part of any power pause is always about gaining clarity about what REALLY matters to you, so you and Realign and Refocus. When I say what matters, what I mean is what matters in your heart, spirit and body (the mind is not helpful in this realm, because it's job is to sort, it does not sense into what is real, aligned or life-energizing for you.)
    What became so evident to me in my research around the roots of burnout, overwhelm, workstyle bias, & self-sacrifice and the real path to creating sustainable success & whole lives that foster true wellbeing is this:
    Most people make the mistake of focusing on finding more time - "If I just had more time. I need to find time. When I have more time..."  This will only keep you in scarcity, lack and slaving away to the now.
    The Wise ones know that the super power is in Creating SPACE within our NOW to co-create the next. 
    Which is exactly what I am going to guide you through in Part 2 of the Equinox Power Pause - although you can do this anytime and work with the next 3-4 month cycle ahead. 
    I will lead us through a 3-inquiry (plus bonus one) process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL into your heart what matters and
    Stay present to what is happening in your NOW so you can savor what you are harvesting, and truly find joy and feel fulfilled in the process  Name what is wanting and needing to shift, so you can make space for the next, in your now Name WHAT you desire space for - give specific heart felt  language to it and then CLAIM that space with fierce self-advocacy Put the structure and support in place + name the next few steps to make this space a reality that you get to PLAY in! See you there!

    POWER PAUSE: Honor the Harvest You Are Receiving (3 Inquiries, Part 1 of 2)

    POWER PAUSE: Honor the Harvest You Are Receiving (3 Inquiries, Part 1 of 2)

    Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our health, and keep us focused on what matters.
    Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat. 
    Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter.
    The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I added the themes of HONOR +  RECEIVE + CREATE THE NEXT WHILE LIVING THE NOW - because I feel like these are the energies and equations that will most support us in this cycle.
    Tune into this Power Pause and learn some about:
    Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year  Making the invisible and the internal visible  - so we can feel it and value it  Honoring the process vs the product  I will lead us through a 3 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL and register in your body, brain and being: 
    How the energy and effort and focus you have given is returning harvest to you (but you have to pause to receive the harvest)  That you have been stretched & chosen to stretch - so you can harvest the strength & keep the wisdom gained.  You are supported & sustained in so many ways - but you have to soak it in to believe it.  See you there!

    Feeling Pressure? What to "Do" When You Are In It

    Feeling Pressure? What to "Do" When You Are In It

    What do you 'do' when you find yourself in a time when the pressure is alot, the pace is intense, there's a lot happening - whether it's stuff you are excited about or stuff that's dragging you down? How do you move through it without becoming overwhelmed by it? 
    Pressure and stress are part of life - but there is a difference between toxic pressure and stress that makes you sick and creates distress, and healthy pressure that stretches and supports you to grow. 
    The notion that you should be able to stay strong and push through when the pressure increases is actually a program for self sacrifice, burnout, and isolation - one I invite you to release. And instead embrace this as the new design: YOU receive the support, space, and true strength you need, desire and require during times when the pressure is high.
    There's a different way to 'do' pressure, and a much healthier way to relate to the pressures coming at you - in ways that are more empowering, human and balanced. There is a lot of pressure that comes at you that is NOT yours to take on, and that you have more choice than you know to say No Thank You Pressure Making Monsters! 
    Consider this: If you want to do more than manage through pressure and intense times, you have to be able to SEE THE SOURCE of the pressure in order to gain the wisdom of how to work with it, in ways that empower you to receive the benefits without crossing the boundary into toxic distress.
    Tune into Feminine Power Time: #220: Feeling Pressure? What to "Do" When You are In It 
    Together we will explore these three inquiries, to shine a light on where you have the power to release pressure, create space, and dance through or surrender into the change, challenge or situations you find moving through:     
    Where is the pressure coming from? The 4 sources of pressure - self, other, system, society. We'll sense into each one and shed light on where the pressure is coming from. 
    What do you want to do with it? The 4 choices for working with the pressure vs. the pressure working you over. Shift out of it. Surrender to it. Dance through it. Create space within it. 

    What structure you need to put in place daily, weekly and monthly so you relax, release, rest and restore during times you are under pressure?  These 4 practices that will get you through this without burning out. Breathers. Movers. End Dates. Receivers.  See you there! Bring your Overwhelmed and Over It book if you have it to refer to.

    Self Empowerment: How Are You Leaking Your Power or Discounting Your Value? (Replay)

    Self Empowerment: How Are You Leaking Your Power or Discounting Your Value? (Replay)

    Self Empowerment.... Be Empowered... Own your Power ... Stand in your power ... these are words that we see and hear alot more these days, but what does embodying our power really mean? What is self-empowerment? What does sovereignty have to do with all of this?
    How do you know if you are coming from your pure power rooted in wholeness or distorted power rooted in woundedness?
    How do you reveal where you are giving your power away - leaking power - in subtle but signifcant ways?
    I've been exploring, researching and teaching self-empowerment as one of the 10 branches of self-love for over a decade.  I started studying power and realized pretty quickly how distorted our cultural concepts and expressions of power are. And I dove deep into where we as humans, give away our power in unconscious ways. Or express power in distorted ways that actually diminish our influence.
    Most of us are blind to where we lack self empowerment or we give away our power, or over-rely on distorted power in ways that don't serve us. All of which has a big impact on our careers, relationships, wellbeing, financial reality - we just don't see the connection with the 8th branch of self-love, self-empowerment.
    Which is why I over the years I have created new defintions of power and sovereignty, practices to strengthen both, and ways to reveal where our leaks and strengths lie.
    And why I decided to re-run this episode - as a self-empowerment check up! Originally part of the Self Love Series Episodes #178-181.
    Here is an appetizer for starters - the definition of self-empowerment I crafted as part of the self-love tree:
    Self-empowerment is choosing to take care of and responsiblity for your life by acting to create the life you really desire, without apology or requiring approval from others. 
    In this episode of Feminine Power, Self Empowement: How Are You Leaking Your Power or Discounting Your Value? :
    Define Self Empowerment and Sovereignty 5 Signs of a strong self-empowerent and 5 signs of weak self empowerment  Difference between 'power' that is reckless , suppressed or distorted in you, and power rooted in wholeness  5 Power Leaks - which are affecting you How this all shows up in our careers, life choices, and relationships to others, ourselves and the organizations we work in/with How to speak from and stand in your pure power in everything from relationships to salary negotiations without being an ass or a pushover. I'll guide you through some self-reflection inquiries as well. If you have the Madly in Love With ME book or Overwhelmed and Over It, grab them as I'll be referencing them in our conversation and exploration. 
    And come over the Feminine Wisdom Cafe where I've posted the full definition of Sovereignty and we're inviting everyone to share what Sovereignty means to them. 
    See you there!

    Where Your Soul Path & Career Path Dance (#3 of 3 Align to Your Design Series)

    Where Your Soul Path & Career Path Dance (#3 of 3 Align to Your Design Series)

    Have you ever considered that while we can do and be anything, you can't do it all at the same time. And honestly, if it's not in your design, even if you make it to your goal, it will feel empty and your lifeforce & energy will be emptied.
    The dance between your soul path and career path is where the magic, meaning and sustainability live. Do you know what your soul path has to do with charting your career path and allowing it to unfold for you? 
    This is a pretty big topic, which could be it's own series. But I sat with what would most serve us to dive into support you in the NOW while you create the next ... in your career path, your life design and the way you focus your leadership for the most meaningful impact. 
     Imagine a world in which we grew up understanding our soul path... and had tools for staying on it, staying true to ourselves, knowing ourselves, defining success for ourselves, trusting ourselves, and making choices that were in alignment for our unique design, even if that meant disappointing another, distrupting the status quo, or daring to step out of our comfort zone, and into uncharted territory. 
    That's what we are up to in this Feminine Power Time: #219: How Your Soul Path & Career Path Dance Together. #3 of 3 in the Align to Your Design Series.
    Consider this: The invisible - mystical, intuitive within you - is as powerful & essential as the visible - material, intellectual imprinted into you - to making choices that keep you aligned to your unique and true carer path & life design.  
    When you sense & feel forward vs. just think forward, you naturally create in tune with your dharma, desires and destiny.
    Some of what we will explore:     
    Soul Path - what is it? how do you know yours? what's soul have to do with our career?

    Dharma - what is your natural path and essence? why can't you do and be anything?    

    Self-Love & Career Choices - how can too much Self-Esteem, or not enough Self-Acceptance & Self-Awareness guide you or distract you?  

    Desires - how do you discern between the ego & distorted willpower, and what's in alignment with your heart & soul?

    Evolution Cycles & Soul Curriculum - what is your soul path, curriculum to both receive and give? how do you make sure you don't overstay in situations, cycles or orgs or indiv relationships no longer in alignment with your soul path?   I as usual make this all personal with a series of illumination inquries, woven throughout that you can take into your life, contemplate, journal and conversate them with another to bring forth the wisdom your soul truth is wanting to show you. 
    See you there!

    Align Your Work to Your Wellbeing (#2 of 3 in Align to Your Design)

    Align Your Work to Your Wellbeing (#2 of 3 in Align to Your Design)

    Have you ever considered how the work you do and the way you work could be different IF you & all people put your WELLBEING at the center? 
    Imagine if our culture embraced that all humans are designed differently, which means what supports our wellbeing - mind, body, heart, spirit - will be different. Therefore, the way we work, and the environments we work within need to be flexible, fluid and responsive to the different kinds of work styles required to empower and enable diverse humans to thrive. 
    Imagine a world in which we defined work not just by what we did to receive money, but all the ways in which we give our energy, care, time to a system, including care-giving & creative expression, as well as the jobs & roles we play within organizations and professions.  
    Then remember this: You and I have the power to co-create culture. 
    Culture is defined as: the total range of activities and ideas of a group of people with shared traditions, which are transmitted and reinforced by members of the group. The root of the word culture means to "cultivate a place" or "to till a place." Like a field.   
    Our power starts with choosing to intentionally cultivate the culture of our individual place/reality. Then the family/relational systems we live in. Then the team ecosystem we work in. Then the organizational, community & social ecosystems we swim in. 
    Consider this: Rather than wait for the big ecosystem to shift to creating a culture who builds how we work based on what we need as humans to cultivate and maintain a strong foundation of wellbeing... we can embrace our power of "harmonic defiance" and make small shifts that lead to bigger shifts to bring how we work and where we work into alignment with all realms of our wellbeing.    
    As Glinda the Good Witch says to Dorothy "You had the power within you all along!" My role is illuiminating where that personal power is. Tune into #2 of 3 in our series: Align to Your Design. Episode #218: Align Your Work with Your Wellbeing,
    We'll explore these 3 realms to illuminate the way you are designed to work best, liberate you from what doesn't align, and then begin to take small but significant steps to bring your reality into alignment with your design now:
    Rhythm    

    Roles

    Radiance  We'll also explore and illuminate what must be present for you in the environments you work within in order for you to truly thrive. It's like being an orca in the ocean ... what needs to be true about the environment, other creatures, & your part in where and how you work going forward? 
    See you there!

Topaz_11 ,

Much needed wisdom 💛

I love Christine’s philosophy + practical application to maintaining harmony in this ever-changing world. It’s reassuring to know there is someone out there who gets it and is willing to share. This podcast puts words and frameworks to things I’ve been thinking + feeling for years. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, Christine, you’re an inspiration! 💛

PNW listener hs ,

A guide for our times

Christine’s clear, grounded, wise, grace-led voice first of all stands out because she walks the talk and embodies the teachings, always weaving in examples from her own life, sharing deeply from her own heart. This alone would be enough but there’s more- her humor and lightness perfuse what she shares. There is an underlying deep joy in it all-which to me is a sign of a great spiritual teacher. Tune in and listen. It’s like sitting with a wise elder or soul friend…you don’t want to miss it.
