Authentically Wild

So many of us seek to control our lives because we don’t like uncertainty.

We create schedules, try to control our relationships, our futures, our finances, and sometimes even other people’s reactions as a means to create predictability.

But the world around us is so uncertain.

And when you really start looking at this, you can see how little control you actually have and that trying to control every aspect of your life is futile. Doing so will only lead you to more stress, anxiety and overall unhappiness.

In this episode, Tess & Christina talk about surrender - the antidote to control.

They discuss personal experiences they have moved through that have allowed them to practice and fine-tune their own processes with learning how to surrender. They also provide tips, strategies and questions you can ask yourself if you are also trying to find peace + surrender within your life.

Because the truth is, you cannot control everything.

In fact, the only thing you can truly control is yourself.

And finding a process of surrender to help you move through all the uncertainty life provides, allows you to find so much more acceptance and peace along the way.

On this episode, Tess & Christina - hosts of Authentically Wild, interview Gellyahnah Aakhen a soul contracts practitioner who's passion and purpose is helping people find theirs.

Gellyahnah explains that before a soul incarnates, it gets to choose quite a bit about the human life it will lead. From parents, to the relationships we will have, the lessons and experiences we have will change from and our soul purpose.

Soul contracts, reveal the karma, or challenges you'll be presented with, your unique talents, what your strengths and skills are and your life purpose.

Within our soul contracts we create arrangements which allow us to connect with the people and experiences we need in our lives to reach our goals and learn the lessons we set out to learn.

What if there was a profound difference in your "personality" and your TRUE essence?

What if your personality and the way you are showing up in the world is just a collection of your experiences, both good and challenging? And that your "identity" might actually be protective mechanisms you had to forge in order to feel safe, be seen and essentially, navigate the world?

There's a distinct difference between personality and true essence. One is something that is created to move through the world safely - it is constantly evolving based on your experiences and relationship with others. While your true authentic essence is what lies underneath that - who you truly are once the armour comes off.

Listen in as Tess and Christina reveal parts of themselves they once thought were their personalities yet have found through their healing journeys, were actually protective mechanisms they created in order to maintain connection and safety. They also provide tips and strategies to help you connect within to your authentic self and how you can navigate this (sometimes) difficult part of the healing journey.

For centuries, astrology was at the heart of science, medicine, philosophy, and magic. But in today's modern world, many of us only interact with astrology by way of our horoscopes.

In today's episode, Tess and Christina dive deep with their guest, Emily Fehr, in order to gain a stronger understanding of astrology and natal (birth) charts and how they can impact your understanding about yourself and your life's purpose.

We’ve all been there… when you feel like you’ve healed through something but you still feel the weight of it. Or maybe it rears its’ ugly head when you least expect it. Perhaps it was a breakup with the person you thought was “the one”, a big confrontation with a family member, maybe even abuse or an isolated traumatic event in your life. One of the reasons for this, is that we can’t talk our way out of trauma. We have to feel and process it and this is why somatic body work is so critical on your healing journey. In this episode, Tess & Christina dive deep into somatic healing practices such as somatic therapy, EDMR, and breathwork and as usual, share very personal past traumatic experiences they have used these practices to help heal. If you truly want to free yourself from the past, somatic body work is essential for this.
