Divine Union™

I've always been a curious person. Ever since I was a little girl. The most used word in my vocabulary was "why".  And currently, it's gotten me to have some pretty profound realizations in my life.

Today on Divine Union, I talk all about triggers and the mirrors and medicine within them. They have such potential to transform our way of being. To fuel our fire to create beautiful things in the world, to have a greater depth of compassion, or empathy, to deepen into a greater knowing of our purpose, or in deeper trust with the universe. 

I discuss the ego and the wound of not feeling seen. I provide a 5-step process you can use in times of trigger, as well as tools for communicating effectively when experiencing a trigger, or should you be on the receiving end of a triggered reaction from another.

I share vulnerably about a personally triggering experience involving the new book I am writing (more to come in due time), how I navigated it, and what transformative mirrors and lessons came from that experience. This is a deeply personal episode, and I can’t wait to hear what you think.

I have always been fascinated with the subconscious mind, and how our early experiences and programming impact our beliefs about ourselves, others, and how we relate to the world at large. 

And so today, I have the honor to sit down with Echo Giesel Widmer, Founder of Our Echo Yoga School, DJ, Facilitator, and writer, to discuss how these stories are formed from our cultural conditioning and early experiences, how they live within our bodies and minds, and impact how we connect with the world. We also discuss how we can liberate ourselves from them and deepen into truth, acceptance, and love.

Echo powerfully shares about her own painful early experiences, and how she’s alchemized them for personal empowerment and in deeper service to love, and she provides many insights and tools for how you can do the same.

This is a deep episode, with many nuggets of wisdom, so be sure to listen and take time to reflect on how this applies to your own life.

I find safety such a fascinating topic, as it's such an important area to master in your life if you want to be fully expressed, and connected to yourself, to others, and to the world.

And so today I chat with dear sister, and Embodied Love & Relationship Coach, Rike John to explore how to cultivate safety within oneself, when relating with others, and why it is so crucial for intimacy and connection.

We discuss our own past challenges with safety within romantic relationships, some common misnomers around safety, and a perspective through which you can relate to safety that will improve how you connect in relationship.

We also touch upon how your attachment style can impact how you relate to safety, and how to read between the lines during times of trigger or disconnection.

Today I discuss The Wild Woman archetype.

The Wild Woman represents a balance of masculine and feminine energy. And I use this framework for which to unpack why she is so magnetic.

Many don’t fully understand how essential the balance and embodiment of these energies is, to achieving true Wild Woman magnetism, so they end up just doing activities to try to connect to her, yet aren’t able to fully embody her because they haven't yet learned how to cultivate and balance their Masculine and Feminine Energies.

So in this episode, I describe what healthy iterations of the energies look like and how you can channel this archetype more easily.

0:00 Intro

1:20 A Unique Framework Through Which to Understand The Wild Woman

3:00 What Happens When You’re Too Far On Either End of The Spectrum

5:00 How Her Masculine Energy Manifests

10:36 How Her Feminine Energy Manifests

14:40 How This Relates To All Areas Of Life

Tune into my Wild Feminine Masterclass (companion piece to the episode) for some specifics to connect to her more deeply.

Today I will discuss why expressing your kink will lead to deeper intimacy. Before discussing kink, we must get alignment on the term.  And with that, I will briefly discuss some historical influences on the term kink and how that’s impacted current narratives. 

Then we will look at a more accurate and appropriate way to talk about kink that's neutral and doesn’t carry judgment or shame. I will also share my experience with kink and how my kink has evolved over time.  And then I will discuss why expressing your kink will lead to deeper intimacy with yourself and in relationship. 

To close, I’ve included in the show notes my 4-step guide to reconnecting to your kink if you are not already there, and it is a nice accompaniment to the episode so you have actionable steps to connect to yourself more deeply.

2:35 Historical Influences on The Term Kink and How That Has Created A Culture of Judgement and Shame Around Kink

Today I will talk to you all about the importance of desire and how we can use desire to fuel our inner fire and passion for life. 

We will also cover why desire is essential for manifestation in the physical world, and how to balance our desire with our ability to flow and be open to life. 

I will also speak to the differences between healthy relating with your desires and when it can lead to unhealthy manifestations.  I use Buddhism's Four Noble Truths as a framework to illuminate this topic so that you can better understand how to work with desire in a way that is empowering versus disempowering.

So in this episode, I share some effective and healthy ways to navigate this space when in a monogamous relationship, in order to maintain vibrancy and aliveness and to enhance passion within the relationship.
