PowerUp!

We recorded this episode at the beginning of 2021.

 

Content to Consider: In this episode we introduce the theme Undoing and Resistance, talking about the need to dive deep into ourselves to decolonise, unlearn, evolve and rebuild. We want to empower you to choose whether you listen to this episode or not, and let you know that in this episode we’re talking about the shift in the consciousness of people and places around the world and what this may mean for the future. We talk about the murder of George Floyd, anti-racism, privilege, hope and safe spaces. If you are affected by anything discussed in this episode, we have provided links to organisations you may find helpful at the bottom of these show notes.

“[The Enneagram] is a system which allows you to understand who you are. [It’s] showing you the road, how to remember...your true origins and how to get there.” 

 

Come with us as we deep dive into Enneagram exploring the 9 types with Julija Kubova. She has been working with Enneagram for over 10 years and is currently in the process of relating her PhD studies in Education with her practical psychological training to find a "golden middle" and create a new program which could be the way forward for rational people.

In this episode, we talk Superpowers and Enneagram! What are they? How can they serve us? How do our beliefs and stories get in the way of our essence? And how can we get out of our own way to return to our essence? A little bird told us it may be connected to Alchemy…

In this episode we continue with the theme of possibility and look at how awareness and mindset impact our beliefs and the lens through which we see and experience the world. We unpack the negative, neutral and positive mind and discuss how we can alter our lives if we recognise the stories that aren't serving us - and rewrite them.

This week we continue talking with our first VIP guest Robyn Dalzen, Intimacy Coach, Consent Facilitator and Pleasure Activist to explore the domain of consent.

 

Until we understand our own domain we cannot really make an informed choice. What are you comfortable with? What are your boundaries? Where are your limits?

 

Ex-Mormon turned Pleasure Revolutionary, Robyn is an international coach and facilitator and is passionate about helping people find what brings them joy — in their body and in their life. Her work is at the intersection of mindfulness, consent, embodiment and sexuality: guiding people to slow down and bring awareness to what they desire, practice the skills to communicate those desires, and create clear agreements to receive exactly what they want. Robyn is co-founder of the School of Consent with Dr. Betty Martin, creator of the Wheel of Consent. She is a certified Transformational Leadership Coach, a certified Wheel of Consent® Facilitator, a certified Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercise (TRE®) provider, and a Sexological Bodyworker in training. She is also a collaborator and coach with Self:Cervix.

"You must know how much time you need alone and how much you need with others. You must know what inspires you and what drains you. You must know how to recharge, how to accept love and how to give too. Know when to speak and when to listen, it's all about finding the balance"

 

This wonderful quote by Slyvester Mcnutt III got us thinking about our capacity to receive and accept, how much solo time vs time with others we need and asking ourselves how often we speak up and out, and how much we truly listen.

In this episode we ask what does receiving and acceptance look like? Why may we struggle with receiving and accepting? And why is learning to receive and accept important?

What do you need to recharge? How do you fill your cup? How do you self-define - Introvert, Extrovert, Ambivert, Omnivert? We dive into all of this in this episode.
