Inspired by the New Year your host Luna Love is here to honor this threshold, a time of completion and new beginnings. And in this time we can reflect on what has transpired this year to get us where we stand today and how it has shaped us to step forward into the new year with greater awareness, sense of self, and purposefulness. It is important to mention that no matter when you tune in, this will be applicable to your life as the new beginning can begin whenever we wish, it doesn’t have to be January 1st. We get to decide. We get to prepare, postpone, or pretend. To check out all things Radical Remembrance head on over to www.lunaloveleadership.com/podcast for all the show notes, links, and more goodies.

How do you define success? Status, title, money, be at a certain place by a certain age in life? This week’s guest Vyana Novus-Magee (www.vyanama.com) shares an alternative perspective that she’s implemented in her life, and made into a handy-dandy journal, after becoming a mother, retriggering past trauma, and having a near-death experience. We talk living with mental-health challenges, the power of self-acknowledgement, becoming a mother, and how to simply meet life when it’s asks more of us than we think we’re able to give. You can grab Vyana’s ‘Redefining Success Journal’ on Amazon.

Woman of Devotion and your LWL host, Luna Love (www.lunaloveleadership), closes out this season of the Ladies Who Lead podcast, before their 3rd annual summer break. She takes us to the edges of ourself in this episode and invites us to step through the portal of initiation into a world of unshakable devotion. Devotion as not being devoted to anything, but living as devotion, as a confused, remembering, forgetting, deeply-feeling, fully-present expression of life and consciousness unfolding. This is a path, a commitment, a way of Life, come deepen with us on our closing episode for the Season. - -  If you are nourished in any way by the show and want to support Ladies Who Lead in growing head on over to Patreon (www.patreon.com/ladieswholead) to give as little as $1/mo or as much as you want to support our platform for women-centered storytelling.
