There was one image that stood out and I wished I was still there. Why though?
Was this the demon of judgement allowing patterns to repeat or the angel of opportunity  based on a positive past experience?

This is a raw and unstopped podcast that I talk myself through a debilitating question around body image. I am currently reading 'The Heroines Journey' by Maureen Murdock and it is opening up new growth around my feminine and masculine transitions.

Placenta Arts specialist, Civil Celebrant and Yoga teacher Cindy shares her passion for, and power in, the placenta. Not only having an incredible place in the physical development of the Embryo the placenta is 'our babies first best friend' which becomes a deeper spiritual bond requiring nurturing, celebrating and releasing with kindness; rather than cut from the baby and disposed of.
Cindy shares her story and vision for kinder people and living with peace by preparing women for gentle birthing and honouring the connection of our placentas.

With Motherhood guilt showing up more frequently lately I was moved to connect to the source of this pain. Upon reflections, listening to podcasts on womb healing and a powerful conversation with a local healer I had this overwhelming realisation of my abortion 6 years ago. I felt the threads of my guilt connect in this moment, shame and loss, fear and judgement and walking an un-sturdy line with a taboo subject looming over me. 
With my nerves set aside, I welcome those open and ready to share this space with me however if this is a trigger point for you please honour your healing by choosing to take it slow.

With love, this is my truth.

After sharing her story on Sunday Sessions Shaina connects back in with us about how she re-opened the old wound of losing a loved one to suicide. We talk about the power of videoing your grief, contributing to others by sharing your story and how we can deeper understand death by letting go of control.

Let's go between the lines.

Let's Rise.

The fractured parts of us are usually the most integral part for the next chapter of life, these parts are gifts and allowing those to be shared empower the voices of others.

After sharing her story with me a couple of weeks ago Lena and I spoke about the concept of truth and the power in sharing your story layer by layer. It's ok to come out of the other end of trauma and wonder " What the F#*% did I just say"? There are many more chances to shed those layers; those truths.

Let's go between the lines.

Having her first relationship at 12 years of age, Shaina, now in her 22nd Year, reflects on the experiences that have shaped her personal philosophies and built her self worth. 
Her wisdom comes from being able to navigate and draw upon the lessons within her teenage reality. 

Trigger warning for Parents (especially with teenagers) as this episode and Shaina's story  shines light on the reality of what life can feel like as a teen and traumas we cannot ever predict as parents.
This is an incredible opportunity to create conversations with your girls (and boys) around navigating emotions and instilling those valuable perspectives as they too journey through this time of life. 

I have not shared this part of my story for 15 years.

As women around me are going deeper and allowing their layers to shed I decided it's time to let my skeleton out!

After an uncomfortable conversation about pornography and my threads of worthiness and self love it came to me, last night in bed, that the darkest part of my life at age 14 was ready to be healed through. 
I'm vulnerable and sharing my heart and as I click this submit button I've got a knot in my stomach however I am wiling to rise.

May this help you to be brave, connect deeper and love your story.
