Welcome to Women’s Circle, my name is Carlie and as always, it is a pleasure to have you here today. In this episode I am speaking with Ionie Valdez, a talented Shaman, Sound and Sensuality healer who in her own words, is ‘passionate about supporting people in uncovering and discovering the truth of who they are’. Ionie is a mother of a three year old daughter and has an incredible story of resilience through antenatal anxiety, depression and PTSD. This is one powerful chat- there is a level of shared experience that Ionie and I discuss that drives us to support other women.

This is a sacred conversation that involves some pretty heavy (but completely necessary) topics. As always, if anything comes up for you, please find helpful links below and seek support.

We will be discussing:

• Antenatal Depression
• Growing up in spiritual family
• Sexual abuse in a relationship
• Dissociation from body after trauma
• Boundaries around our body with partners
• Safety around having difficult conversations
• Self-respect as a foundation to any relationship
• The crucial words of support and action needed in depression
• ‘It’s okay to not feel okay’
• Parenting 
• Energy Systems…we got sidetracked
• Plant Medicine as a healer
• Finding immense light and love through the darkness
• Letting go of fear is the key to all growth
• Stop making excuses around not having enough time
• Calling out our Saboteur 
• How Ionie works with men and women as a healer

Ionie is holding an Elemental Embodiment Retreat February 11th-14th in the Gold Coast Hinterland. If you feel called to journey with Ionie and her team of light workers over three days, you will experience a life changing experience. You can find more information on her website www.mystickey.com.au - link in notes.

Thank you for sharing the space with us today, there is so much to this life journey and I am so grateful to listen to and share the many different ways that women experience it. I hope you can join us next week for another unique story. If you feel called to share yours, get in touch at www.mummagotskills.com.au.
