This episode is about how to use intimacy, with self and others, in order to move through pain, discomfort and resistance to create a life of fulfilment and truest expression as a sovereign being. 

Sovereignty in its most simple form is being self-governed. You are not swayed or lead by internal or external environments. You are the leader, the creator and the seer of your world and life, period.

Not only is woman exceptionally fierce and an embodiment of love, but she is also a dear friend of mine who I've been energetically held by. I know the power of her insights and light and am delighted to share them with you all.

From Court,

"I'm Courtney McNabb. I'm a women's Empowerment Coach and Feminine Energy Repatterning Trainer touring the world activating women in their fierce feminine power.

Between and during global ventures, I work with female spiritual leaders and seekers across the globe. My mission is to activate an unshakable internal world and to align high-vibrational energetic behavioral patterns with sacred purpose. I help women dissolve wounded stories which keep them feeling scarce, stuck, and limited.

My home base in Denver, Colorado, where I love creating community and drinking oat milk lattes. I specialize in Sovereignty and the Sacred Feminine, love plant dancing to gangster rap and adventuring the mountains with my boyfriend and baby sister."

The bottom line of the interview explores the following (and then some):

• What does sovereignty mean?
• How your thoughts, actions, mess are yours..and then what’s beyond that?
• Moving beyond our personality structure
• Free will and how to exercise your power of choice
• Burning the pushing paradigm
• Holding yourself and landing in your body when we are re writing codes in our consciousness
• The work is invisible and where our invitation is
• The rejection of ‘trust’ is the old masculine..and something to embrace
• Knowing your kingdom to govern it
• Understanding we have operated from the wounded feminine and what it takes to shift that
• Grieving adjustments as a man to embracing the feminine energy
• The key to unlocking the leverage of connection and surrender to source and flow
• Noticing the wounded marline and feminine within and how do the divine versions interplay
• Integrating all four parts of our divinity into one
• Trusting ideas, inspirations and goals as a GUIDE to your life not a ‘pipe dream’
• How we are fearing the divine love of the feminine which is the opposing force magnetic to the patriarchy..which is what we are dissolving
• How to release analysis, paralysis, control and judgment through this work
• Allowing this all to be simple, releasing control and contraction and order to own your true power

Today's podcast is sensual, fire, flow and erotic feminine.

I had the pleasure (pun intended) of interviewing Jamie Thompson.

Over the last decade, Jamie has developed a body of work to support her women and couples with letting go of negative patterns around sex so they can design a sex-life of hot eroticism and soul-quenching intimacy. Her background is in trans-personal psychology, neuroscience, sensual embodiment, and holographic movement reprogramming. Jamie has travelled around the world teaching masterminds, business events and private clients, how to up-level their success and creativity through sexual transmutation.

The things I loved most  in this episode:

• Masks of masculinity for women who are feminine at their core
• Remembering pleasure and feeling
• How to soften and open in relationships
• Re-energising and vitalising through coming home
• Entering the pull instead of the push
• Reclaiming your polarity
• Coming back to the ancient wisdom of a women

• Not being afraid of the power of your darkness
• Understanding clean and clear dark and shadow dark
• 5 ways to get into your feminine in three minutes

Ever wondered what yoga teachers, healers, lightworkers, coaches and therapists mean when they talk about the divine, source,  energy or soul? With this wild and wild trauma-informed coach, facilitator and yoga teacher, we unpack and navigate the invisible work of the divine. 

Leila is a trauma-informed empowerment coach and spiritual mentor, who lives an adventurous nomadic lifestyle travelling all over the world to inspire healing through creative movement, personal empowerment & deep spiritual connection. You can find Leila with her pup, Folly, teaching yoga classes, leading mindfulness workshops and hosting health and wellness retreats.

So I am in love with Leila, she is one of those humans. 

She’s experienced, embodied, honest, grounded, opened hearted, humble, strong fierce and fucking hilarious. This is one of my longer podcasts. We did this live in Costa Rica on the second last day of a retreat she was running that I dropped into to say hi and connect with her and our mutual friends and her co-hosts, Jeremy Goldberg and Traver Boehm. 

Yes, life is delicious. Both Leila and I get lost in the flow of this topic and forget multiple times we are even on a podcast recording. We both share intimate experiences we’ve had unpacking some pretty messy times in our hearts and minds so you have real-life examples of how to do some of the work from birth to now that will help you lift and raise your vibration. 

We unpack in detail the powerful philosophies of yoga, the soul, trauma, healing and practical techniques to build internal connection, energy and overall re-integration of ourselves as a whole being. 

I know, right? Fucking rad. 

Some of my fav points covered:

• Discerning what it is to be a human and the connection between infinite and our human sense of “me”.
• The three aspects of the soul; “Sat Chit Ananda” (Satcitānanda, Satchidānanda, or Sat-cit-ānanda (Sanskrit: सच्चिदानन्द) ?
• The connection between stimulus addiction, lack of presence and fulfilment and our ignorance to our true nature
• Why we need to know who/what we really are in order to amplify joy, peace, love and all the good feels.
• Working with the mind, our mental mood and voice and getting right with the mind.
• How to practice self-healing and trauma release.
• Taking personal responsibility to the inventory of our decisions, macro actions, thoughts and sanskaras 
• What you need in order to love self and of others
• Strengthing discipline through our own “stoking of fire”
• The shadow of self and spiritual growth and how to check-in if its playing out in your life
• Why consistency and self-trust in your life for strength and freedom
• How painful events in the past, unprocessed, can lead to feeling hollow, emptier and even affect self-esteem, happiness and wellbeing
• How to cultivate our own inner energy to utilise, channel and work through something greater than ourselves. 
• When Leila described step by step how she re-integrated parts of her being that she had left behind throughout her life and overcome multiple different fears,  traumas and insecurities
• Taking your practices from about “me” to about “we” in order to find courage, discipline and 
• The most simple tool for making decisions that will either fill you or drain you. 

Before making any decision, especially tough ones, place your hand on your heart and take five deep breaths first.

And whatever the answer….is it a conscious decision.

This podcast made me hurt from laughing and cracked me open with its truth.

It's with the brilliant,  Traver Boehm.

Traver is the author of Today I Rise, a TEDx speaker and men’s coach, currently practicing intentional nomadism. He is the founder of the Man Uncivilized Movement redefining the way around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both the Primal Masculine with the Divine.

What I love about this podcast is that I know in my heart of hearts, just by listening people will have some profound shifts and life insights.

Traver is the kind of man that makes the feminine feel safe because, within himself, he’s done, and continues to do the integration work of his shadows. But most of all, he’d be too humble to say so.

In this episode, we unpack the history of masculine trauma, the light, dark and gold of the shadows and the evolutionary consciousness and importance of our collective healing.

We unpack how he came to write his freshly published and genuinely soul-awakening book, The Uncivilised Man.

A few of  the many points we cover:

• How the masculine unconsciously or consciously outsource their emotional healing to the feminine
• What's in the shadows of the collective masculine
• What a man can do to make a woman feel safe
• The history of how men became civilised, suppressed and traumatized and the ripple effect that we are now facing.
• The devil and savior of social media and its connection to depression and healing
• How the birth of the Civilised concept evolved from a conversation about Mc Donalds.
• What a shadow is and how to find the gold in the shadows and or reclaim the power that’s maybe there
• The red flags that there is trauma to be worked through and how it plays out in a relationship and life
• How the masculine shadow triggers the feminine shadow and how the feminine can make the moves first to catalyse healing
• What steps you can take to heal and move towards the truest most conscious version of yourself?
• Compassion, compassion and more compassion.
• CHALLENGE:

Find someone you can trust and have an honest conversation with, and share what your written reply to this question is (writing for one minute) “if my pain could speak to me today it would say”…

Pain has depth, you have to go to a depth to reach pain. 

You have to breathe to find it and then breathe to heal it.

If you want real life examples of what it takes, looks and feels like to re-parent, heal, transcend the destructive behaviours that kept us safe as children but sacrifice our true selves as adults, this is your podcast. 

Kylie McBeath is the Co-Founder of Zura Health, Writer, Emotional Wellness Coach, and a spokesperson for soul. She is committed to uncovering the tools, technology, and ethos to live a life at the bleeding edge of our potential. From inner struggles to moments of complete bliss, Kylie invites us to the depths of our own shadow so that we can integrate, accept, and become the most aligned version of ourselves. Her mission is to create a world that is in harmony with all of life’s expressions by simply being her raw, vulnerable, and human AF self.

What I feel you'll vibe the most with in this episode:

• The road out of sabotage is liberating, but it comes with your whole body having to go through  the motions of fear and "death".  
• It's a process which we face on a human level as we collectively shift from powerlessness to  reclamation
•  Examining "death" and our survival strategies that are no longer in alignment with our highest
• Stepping out of punitive consciousness and cultivating practical practices to support this growth
• Tools and techniques that you can use right now to help you sustain your new choices and beliefs when it feels scary and impossible
• Exploring how boundary setting is a process that requires action and consequence not just verbal explanation
• Unpacking the different ways in which our feeling 'not enough' unless we receive or do X, Y and Z can show up in the masculine (yang) and feminine (yin) imbalance
• That we are all human, supporting and navigating this life and how powerful it can be to learn the lesson of asking for support, being radically honest with yourself and most of all, how to do this

This episode is so personal because well, it's something we all go through as humans and both Kylie  and I are real about this. We both know that expressing out  own journeys as well as sharing  advice, tools and techniques to do  this powerful work yourself are equally as important. W

We will definitely have a part two on this one!

Be in your ears soon....

If you’d like to bloom, you must first be willing to be buried. 

Sit in the mud, let it wash over you, let the tears wash you clean, step into the freedom of your pain and let it cleanse you of blame and then, watch your confidence rise up and present itself love. 

After overcoming a life full of trauma, physical and sexual abuse, near-death experiences, breaking her back and being widowed, Erika Cramer found herself drowning in pain and sadness trying to numb everything she had been through. These life changing experiences finally lead her to life coaching where she went on a deep path to personal growth and healing. As a confidence coach she is here to guide women to living a life where they seek progress, not perfection. She is taking a bold stand for women owning their throne and reclaiming their confidence.

What I loved most about this episode is that Erika wanted to lick my face and I wanted to lick hers.

Translation: We vibed, and these kinds of conversations are full of flow, soul, insight and deep transformation for listenings. 

We touched on:

• How patience and perseverance through the rough shit is where confidence is learnt and cultivated. 
• If you dont choose to connect with others through transparency and honesty, you will feel more alone and helpless, and will stunt your expansion and burry your esteem. 
• Trust in self and life is built by committing to doing the work, and then acting on it. 
• Ownership of your experience should not be as simple as a Pinterest quote on a wall;  it's about deep healing, purging and profound insight that comes from all of the above. 
• Responsibility is not bypassing; you cannot be grateful and use your painful experiences until you've transcended the hurt and victim mentality. 
• Purpose through hardship and experience is the result of first becoming uncomfortable and then choosing, with an attitude of oneness, to share, teach and support others. 

It is deeply delicious and it's going to rock your mind and heart. Listen to the episode here:

We are all connected to men in some way. We all have (or had) a father, we may have male siblings, friends, or intimate relationships, and we’re all intimately connected and affected by the mental wellbeing and integrity of men past, present and future. 

Part of the discussion of working through oppression and repression and patriarchy is how to prevent this from happening and help heal the unconscious within each person (specifically men in this podcast) that’s fuelling this in the first place. It’s being present with how this was created, building unity rather than separation from what we want to change, and support this through voice, action, unconditional love and expression. We need to heal together, not apart.

Mike is a men’s coach, author, and wannabe professional stone fruit eater. Mike is the founder of The School of Personal Mastery – a group coaching program for everyday men wanting to get their shit together and achieve greater success and happiness in their career, relationships, and life - without the guilt and hang-ups. 

With loving straight talk, Mike passionately makes personal development relatable, accessible, and applicable for everyday men to better help themselves and others. He is also the creator of Beyond The Beers, a show and series of live events for men taking a beer with mates to new depths, and actually talking about the shit that matters.

The dynamics of this interview shifts gears rapidly as we cover:

• What does it mean when you ask a man “Who are you?” and how this question is not a judgement, but an invitation that will move you towards what you may not know you’re missing.
• Understanding that avoidance or stimulation is a symptom of moving away from what we really need to pay attention to. Avoidance takes us in circles. 
• Examples of what it means to be in integrity with yourself as a man; thoughts, actions, words and life itself. 
• The struggles most men find themselves spinning around in and to identify where you are and what the next step may be.
• Why feeling stuck and going nowhere is the perfect place to begin a deeper inquiry.
• Specific questions to be able to reflect on when you feel stuck.
• How to move from head to heart to be able to hear oneself, hold space and transcend emotions, deepen self connection and get to know yourself better.
• Indoctrination to what it is to “be a man” and how we can ask the right questions to break away what no longer serves a man who wants to live in integrity. 
• How radical responsibility for emotions and self growth are fundamental to the collective healing.
• The relationship between masculine and feminine in a relationship and how our partners can reflect back our self deceptions.
