    Anastasia Hirst: Healing Through Horses

    Anastasia Hirst: Healing Through Horses

    Anastasia shares her story in healing through horses.  
    She has worked with horses in a therapeutic way for years and is now traveling the world creating a documentary about the power of healing through horses.
    This conversation was so inspiring for me as I am diving into the world of equine assisted therapy and have been experiencing great healing over the last in relationship with these powerful beings
    Her documentary, Equus: Healing Through Horses,  is all about enlightening the world how horses can facilitate a level of healing that we as humans don't easily have access to because they communicate in a whole different way.  
    There are so many great programs out there that involve equines and I wholeheartedly encourage any woman who has experienced trauma check out how horses could support your healing.
    Her documentary is already creating great waves of awareness in this area of healing.  If you love horses or have experienced healing with your own horse you know what we are talking about.  If you are curious about how other people work with the horses in a healing capacity please check out her documentary.  There are many ways you can support this project and I invite you too.
    Here is where you can follow this project and get involved!

    Arkady Brown: Body Image and The Vulva Art Project

    Arkady Brown: Body Image and The Vulva Art Project

    Arkady talks with us about the body image and the beauty of our vulvas by sharing her project, The Vulva Art Project, with us.
    We met through a mutual friend and one day she called me and said she had this project. When she told me about it, I had a full YES! this needs to be done.
    Arkady realized through her work, as a Fine Art Boudoir Photographer, she kept witnessing the shame that women have around their bodies.  She dug deeper and found that a lot of shame is held in your most sacred part of our body, the part of our body that makes us women, our vulvas. 
    Arkady has had her own issues with body image shaming, struggled with eating disorders and feels like this is a part of her own healing process. 
    I have been working with the project and the healing that is happening for the women involved in this project is profound and amazing! 
    We please check out and donate to this amazing project!!!

    Sophia Treyger: Go from Pleaser to Pleasure

    Sophia Treyger: Go from Pleaser to Pleasure

    Sophia Treyger invites us women to go from a pleaser to pleasure. She has dedicated her life to helping women go from being a pleaser and giving your power away to experiencing pleasure in life.
    This is such a big topic I hear women talk about, how we take care and give to everyone else before ourselves. 
    We talk about how we start to honor ourselves first, create powerful boundaries to take care of our body, heart, mind and soul and find pleasure by feeling our bodies, emotions and desires.
    We touched on so many hard to talk about places that women face day to day around our sexuality, our emotions and how to move through the world feeling a deep sense of pleasure.
    Sophia has lovingly gifted us a few things to support our movement into more of a pleasure orientated life.
    How to Play with Sexual Energy: Use it to your benefit! (a visualization): bit.ly/RadicalPleasuristTribe
    A Free Sexual Empowerment Session to listeners (only 10 spots available): bit.ly/Shift2Pleasure
    bit.ly/TheIntimateSisterhood to join the Facebook Group
    www.sophiatreyger.com
    Sophia invites us to ask ourselves "What is it I truly desire?" every day in every decision we make.
