I AM Rising

This episode is about PTSD. I share what trauma really is, why it occurs, how it affects just about everything in a person's life, and my raw, deep, and dark personal experience with it. AND, how I healed and continue to...

SPOILER ALERT: We ALL have trauma! This is a HUGE topic so this will be the first of many future episodes.

This episode dives deep into what to say and not to say to someone going through a challenge, an illness, a loss, etc. It's meant to be educational and inspirational and also healing!

I go through a list of all of the things people said to me during the darkest and scariest time of my life from diagnosis of cancer, through treatment, and beyond. 

As my mom always says, "People mean well." And I get that.

AND, we can all learn, grow, and evolve to be a better healing space for others when they are going though struggles.  And we can begin to take ownership of our feelings that come up when those around us are suffering.

This could be a controversial or triggering episode!  And that's amazing because that means there is energy to be felt, experienced, breathed into, and forgiven.

Let the healing begin!

This 4th episode was recorded when I was in my 2nd year of studying with Alchemy of Breath,  (my school), as a mentor. 

I share some of the trauma from receiving the actual diagnosis, multiple surgeries and the aftermath,  toxic drugs, not feeling safe in my body, and dissociating.  I share how breast cancer cracked me open to meet myself on the inside; how I truly met my light in the darkness by facing my death and my willingness to embrace the unknown.

In Alchemy of Breath, we did an exercise of writing a letter from our death bed, breaths away from our dying self to our current self. 

I share the letter to music as a healing process.  The 2nd half being very meditative provides the opportunity for you to inquire into your own life and experience, opening your heart to the moment and what comes up for you. 

 

Season Two: Episode One of I AM Rising and a dramatic title that is based completely in truth.

Death, Rebirth; the Return. After 3 years of a healing recovery from a life-threatening breast cancer diagnosis, Tina opens up about her journey of meeting her death face to face.

In this first episode, she reads a part of her journal when she is in the darkest of places. After surgeries, and chemotherapy, no hair, no eyebrows, no eyelashes, feeling lost, dead inside, like a shell of a human being, wondering if she would ever even remotely feel like herself again, whoever that even was anymore.

She shares deeply and authentically and we peer into the depths of her suffering in the pitch-black, darkness. She then shares the total contrast of a journal entry a year or so later demonstrating a complete turnaround!

Tina lays the groundwork about some of what she did during this time to heal and paints a picture of what to expect for future episodes.

Mary Magdalene, a true embodiment of the Divine Feminine, has been around me for many years preparing me for the Goddess work that I'm currently doing in my work with women. Her consciousness and energy comes through with a "Sisterhood of the Rose", a powerful tribe of High Priestesses, Goddesses, and women throughout "her-story."

During a very difficult time of my life, I called out to her in pain, in frustration, in such a dark night of the soul, and she spoke to me, and to us, and this episode is her channeled message to bring hope, light, love and clarity in moving forward.

We are in a period awakening on this planet, and with this awakening comes many changes. There have been so many obstacles, challenges and hardships. So many of my clients and students have reached out to ask what is happening!

So, I asked my angels and guides why things have been so difficult, why so many of us are having challenges on a regular basis, and what is happening as a whole that we are stuck and unable to move forward.

And in meditation I received a powerful message that I channel and share with you on this episode, leading to a healing meditation at the end to help you move from any darkness in your life into the light...

Where are your deepest commitments? Do you know? Are you open to creating space for yourself?

This episode will inspire you to make new commitments honoring your process and all that comes up, good and bad, positive and negative, all as part of your unique and perfect experience to grow…

I talk about just being solid and clear with your intentions…. letting go of all else.

It’s realizing that every moment is a prayer, every word is a prayer, and when we set an intention, and communicate with our Higher Self, angels and guides, everything after that is a continuation of that inner commitment. 

So I invite you to make a new commitment each morning with me for the next 40 days and see how things begin to shift and transform.

Listen to the affirmative prayer/meditations as if the words are coming from you…
