Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine

Whitney Walker

My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions. After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us. Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals. On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode, If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!

    TBF: The Benefits of Creating A Divine Feminine Sacred Space & Establishing A Daily Practice to Connect With Your Higher Self & Your Truth to Release Codependent Fears

    * This episode was originally released in June of 2023* In the midst of our day to day lives it can be easy to get caught up in the minutiae & illusion of obligations, needs, and requirements. There is a vital importance in taking time and space to release all these material notions and duties and connect with our true essence and self. This is how we find peace and reconnect with the truth that we are not what we do, we are not what happens to us, we are not our fears, doubts, or insecurities. We are a Divine, unique being with precious gifts to bring to the World. Without taking time and creating space where we can fee fully into out Divine Feminine power, we may become lost and unable to let our light shine. On this Divine Feminine solo episode, I offer insight and suggestions about creating a sacred space in your life and the importance & benefits of doing so.

    From The Archives: The Brilliance of Being A Wise Sage; Learning to Embrace Aging As Our True Divine Feminine Selves and Letting Go of Codependent Attachments

    * This Episode was originally released in May of 2023* Someone once said that aging isn't for the faint of heart. Aging can indeed be challenging and intimidating. Especially for Women. With so much focus on our looks and the reactions we elicit from the opposite sex, it can be hard to go gently into that dark night and embrace getting older. Watching our physical appearance change and possibly feel less noticed and revered. Yet, do we really lose value as we get older? My guest this week, Dana Irvine, joins us this week to say, absolutely not! There is a radiance and wisdom to Women of a certain age. They tend to become more comfortable with themselves, learn how to understand what they want and ask for it, and care less about what other people think and more about what brings them peace and joy. On this episode, Dana shares a great deal about her work of helping Women get proactive through their body, mind, spirit, and emotions to have the best possible experience of moving into mid and later life. Dana explains the 4 pillars of health, the value of embracing change, and how we can get more in touch with ourselves, our sexuality, and our joy so we can se aging as the beautiful, sacred process it is. Dana is a mother of three young adults and has been married for 27 years. She has been a professional hospitality and event planner for several years but felt the need to create and coach healthier lifestyles for women. The true awakening of Dana’s journey happened in 2018 when her sister was diagnosed with Brain Cancer and passed. Life spun out of control – the why – the how – what were the signs? Finally, her mission on how to coach women about prevention and to recognize health challenges to live life to the fullest potential. Dana’s insightfulness and compassion for women shines through her life as a coach, friend, mother and wife and her passion to live her life with purpose, speakingabout topics such as sex, menopause, marriage, family, and women’s health. Dana is the host of Wise Divine Women Podcast. You can find out more about Dana here: www.danairvine.com

    Moving From Fear Into Choice To Live Your Divine Feminine Soul-Truth: Overcoming Childhood Trauma To Reclaim Your Inner Peace, Wisdom, And Brilliant Light

    The most liberating transformation we can ever undergo is moving from a place of fear into recognition that we always have a choice. Fear is information, not identity. And not truth. Fear isn’t weakness — it’s information. It can show up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, or the need for approval. My guest this week, Terri Kozlowsk, has turned her challenges with fear and trauma into a joyous triumph of learning to trust your her own inner wisdom again after years of fear, conditioning, and self-doubt. Terry is a Native American Soul Coach, award-winning author, speaker, and founder of Kozmic Soul Solutions LLC. On this guest episode, Terri Kozlowski shares her experience of growing up through childhood abuse and abandonment and how she found her path to a healing journey to where fear doesn't rule your life. She talks about how to notice when fear is trying to protect you without letting it    make your choices. That when you notice the pattern, you create a pause. In that pause, you can listen inward and choose what reflects who you are now. Terri and I compare our experiences of our shifts from asking “Why me?” to asking “What now?” and how thatchanged the direction of our lives.Together we explore the masks and armor we develop to survive, and what it takes to realize we may not need them anymore. As well as the idea of responsibility without blame, that we aren’t responsible for what happened to us, but we do have responsibility for what we do with it now. She highlights he difference between the egoic mind reacting from fear and thesoulful self responding with awareness and choice. Bio: Terri Kozlowski is a proud member of the Tlingit Raven Clan with Athabascan heritage, Terri is a survivor of childhood trauma and abandonment who learned through her own healing journey how fear can quietly become the story running your life. She now helps women recognize those old patterns, reconnect with their soulful self, and learn to respond from love instead of allowing fear to choose for them. She is the author of Raven Transcending Fear and the Soul Solutions book series, and host of the Soul Solutions podcast.

    From The Archives: How to Achieve Freedom from Negative Mental Loops & Codependency with Emotional Freedom Techniques

    *This episode was originally released in July 2023* Are negative mental loops and codependency holding you back? Discover how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can help you achieve freedom and healing. There are a multitude of modalities out there for anyone seeking to address, heal, and overcome the pain and habits that hold them back. Emotional Freedom Techniques AKA, tapping, is a means to regulate your nervous system when you are having feelings of fear, self doubt, internal conflict, grief, or any emotion that you can identify as being charged, heavy, and in need of release. Immediately attending to these feelings can keep them from being stored away in your psyche and emotional and physical body to haunt you like a ghost, never knowing when they might pop up. My guest today, Theresa Lear Levine, is an EFT Master Practitioner and shares with us the wonder and benefits of tapping. On this episode Theresa and I discuss the importance of learning how to regulate your nervous system, how some people have learned to be more at home in a dysregulated system resulting in subconsciously seeking out chaos in their relationships, and how to TAP into the Law of Attraction and getting out of your own way. Theresa Lear Levine is the founder of Becoming More Me where she helps professional women to get out of their own way and resolve their innermost pains, traumas and challenges so they can fully enjoy their success and present moments. Theresa’s personal struggles with past traumas, high functioning anxiety, and ADHD kept her in an ego driven holding pattern of dissatisfaction and stress for longer than she likes to admit. Eventually, it led to exhaustion, insomnia and a lot of difficulty being present in her own life. All of those negative feelings seemed to melt away when she began cracking the code to her nervous system, taking responsibility for her own wellbeing, and elevating her consciousness in ways that truly restored her feelings of calm, clarity and confidence. Theresa is the host of the Becoming More Me Podcast and lives near Washington, DC with her husband, Jeff, and their 4 boys as well as their 2 yellow labs. If you'd like to get access to the exclusive EFT tapping session that Theresa and I did after the show recording, simply visit theprivatesessions.com and she'll send it to you right away! Tapping along with us is just like working with Theresa and it's jam packed with value, nervous system regulation and breakthroughs!

    TBF: An Introduction to Tarot Cards: How to Work With & Understand An Ancient Divine Feminine Divination Tool

    * This episode was originally released on July 17, 2023* Tarot came into my life very unexpectedly, as it often does for many Spiritual seekers. When we announce our willingness to open ourselves to our psychic, metaphysic, and energetic abilities we will find that new tools and gifts will come into our path. Tarot cards are one of these tools. Tarot's earliest recorded history dates back to 1400's where Tarot was developed originally as a game. As time went on it became a Divination tool which we use today to explore energetic guidance and insight about our lives. Made up of 78 cards, Tarot is thought to represent the Game of Life, starting with The Fool and culminating with The World. All the cards in between represent the various twist and turns of our journey through life.  On this Divine Feminine solo episode I take a swing at offering a mini Tarot 101 course to share my understanding of its history, the meaning of the 78 cards which make up the Major and Minor Arcanas of the deck, and my thoughts on the value and benefits of tarot.
