Rebels On Purpose

In this episode, Jamie and Lindsay interview the brilliant Meagan Cooper, our dear friend, soul sister and Rebel Pack community member. They talk all things feminine power; Jiu jitsu, crafting, relationships, communication, solitude and more. They discuss the wholeness and beauty that builds when we feed our feminine force and also the resentment and bitterness that burns inside when we repress or ignore it. They share about play as an essential component of feminine expression and how much shame can steal playfulness from us as adults. They also celebrate the milestone wisdom that resides in the statement “We don’t do it like everybody else”… The more we embrace the unique expression of our divine creativity, the more empowered and whole we become. 

A powerful conversation between three women who are listening to the Call of the Wild and answering it when it comes. As a journey for women to reclaim their wild creative feminine nature, this interview dives down the rabbit hole of what a successful integration of feminine energy can look like when we commit to listening to our desires in a real and action based way. When we let go of productivity and we create for the sake of joy, movement and the act itself, embracing the flow of moment to moment life being expressed through us, we heal. It’s a heartfelt and honest conversation between three friends, so grab your cuppa joe, we want a fourth to join us!

This minisode explores the concept and power of silence in relationship. J&L get personal (as usual) and discuss how silence has been a key component in deepening their friendship and yielding more intimacy and connection. They share how this ability to hold quiet space with each other was something they had to practice and cultivate, firstly within themselves, and then within the shared dynamic between them. They discuss openly how transformative this experience was in showing them to a deeper sense of sacred relationship and unity.

J&L share their own intentional quietude practices, how they provide space and how space ultimately walks us into presence. Presence is a vast experience that ultimately brings us home to who we are in our souls, opening us to a Divine connection with life and all our experience of it. This episode looks at how conscious silence can be a portal to this deeper, more sacred relationship with life.

This episode addresses how the social pressures at play in our culture and upbringing often steal the gift that silence and quietude can provide, and how when we cultivate intentional quiet in our lives, what emerges is often wholeness, creativity, intimacy, truth and a sense of union in our being.

At the inception of this podcast, Lindsay & Jamie created a Magic Rebel Box of Inspiration - then filled it with words that meant something to them, words they could pull from to share and explore about on the Podcast. They pulled a word to explore on this episode and the word is PASSION!

An open hearted conversation with real life examples showcasing the compelling nature of true passion, Jamie and Lindsay discuss what Passion really is and what it isn't, and how often misunderstood it can be in the wellness and coaching industries.

J&L dissect the three P's: Passion, Purpose and Possibility. They discuss what is required for passionate motivation to brightly burn, how its action is different from a hobby, and how the three p's intersect.

Most interestingly, they discuss the role of suffering for one's passion and how pain and passion are often intertwined in a complex relationship that can show us so much about who we are as Human Beings.

This episode is an expansion to the conversation we had in our interview with artist Yvonne Werkmann. Jamie and Lindsay share about the uncertainty and trust that is required for creativity to emerge, and how waiting in the dark is one of the biggest hurdles in following through on our inspirations.

J&L uncover the top three killers of creative energy as well as three portals to help us move towards creation in our daily life.

This episode explores the idea that our whole life might be an opportunity for one big creative expression if only we listen and receive the directive when creativity sparks.

Join the Rebel Women today for an intimate conversation with a self proclaimed ‘odd woman’, Yvonne Werkmann. Yvonne is an artist, a vedic priest, a yoga therapist, a mother and a longtime friend of Jamie and Lindsay.

Grab your tea for this one and sit back ready to shift your perspective on all things productivity, parenting and personal growth. Oh, and let’s not forget art! Yvonne is an intentional creativity facilitator and this conversation is packed with gems and insights to support us living a creatively inspired life. Yvonne’s mission is to share the message that we are ALL artists and that it is a human right to play, joyfully, with art. 

The episode opens with a deep dive into burnout; what it looks like, feels like, and how to know it when it’s happening. For the Mom’s out there who are feeling the pressure to do more, be more and have it ‘all’, this episode is for you! 

Exploring the difference between the patriarchal way of doing in the world versus the feminine way of being and flowing with the flows, this discussion is rich in rebellious choices to listen for what we want versus what society or culture tells us we should do. Looking at how questions like: what’s your plan, what’s your goal and what’s your purpose can actually steer us away from our joy and truest expression, and how much freedom lies in learning how to BE in our lives versus DO.

Lastly, Yvonne shares deeply about the intentional creativity process and how the intention becomes manifest when we pick up the paint brush and become what we are seeking. “When you paint a stroke of joy, you are actually creating the joy in your life.”

This episode is a heavy hitter! Jamie and Lindsay unpack all things scarcity mindset, while exploring the Principle of Sufficiency that is outlined by Lynne Twist in her book, The Soul of Money.

The discussion explores the juxtaposition between expansion and contraction as it relates to our relationship with prosperity and abundance. Whereas experiencing enoughness in allowing ourselves to feel sufficiently resourced is an expansive, life giving opportunity, many peoples' reality focuses instead on lack and deficiency through our constant cultural push to get, do, have and be MORE.

The Sufficiency principle provides a new lens from which to see our resources and thriving, a new way to experience wealth and abundance that isn't about the dollars and cents. It is about worthiness and finally allowing enoughness to exist - inside and out.

This episode is a rebellious conversation indeed as it challenges and redefines what prosperity could mean and look like in our lives and societies, if we take action towards sufficiency versus simply accessing MORE. The result yields access to our inherent wholeness, and the possibility of a more sustainable future for all.

J&L share personal stories of working with and through their own scarcity and imposter narratives and coming out the other side with a greater sense of knowing who they are. It is a vulnerable, accessible, and relevant conversation that is vital to our culture at this time.

In this episode, J&L explore the conversation that supports thriving, not just surviving New Year's Resolution hype and the upswing of busy and getter' done guilt that sweeps our January culture.

J&L talk about redefining our New Year's resolution efforts, focusing on habits instead of goals, and how we want to feel instead of the outcome that we often chase externally. They break down the fundamentals for cultivating or shifting a habit and what it takes to achieve a goal in a sustainable and wholesome way, and not just because we believe we should. This convo is all about moving away from shoulding all over ourselves.

This minisode is packed with inspiration to support a revolution for your resolutions: to encourage us to sit in the season of Winter, to allow with awareness and competence while also harnessing a deeper understanding of why we desire the goals we do. EnJOY!

Lindsay & Jamie are very excited to take you all on a journey over these next ten podcasts. These ten conversations will explore a spiritual practice that has been the single most life enhancing work either of them has undertaken in their collective forty years of practice.

In each episode, they will introduce one ethical tenet of Yoga, also known as the Yamas & Niyamas: moral precepts for living a wholehearted and present life. These principles are the guideposts with which Lindsay & Jamie live their entire lives, so it felt important to dive in and share about them early in the Podcast launch. It is their hope that this series will give you a taste of who they are and where the roots of their Rebel practice and life’s work have emerged from, as well as offer spiritual support to you on your own path.

This week, Lindsay & Jamie dive in and discuss the principle of Non-Violence, or as it is termed in Sanskrit, Ahimsa. The discussion explores what it means to live a life with Ahimsa in mind, a life that minimizes doing harm, and how that has unfolded in their lives over the last decade. It isn’t as simple as not physically hurting someone, and this talk explores some of the nuances and deeper roots of violence that seep into our ways of being, both with the world and of course, with ourselves.

This conversation helps to break down the myth that wisdom is something that we must acquire outside of ourselves while offering a window into the accessibility of this practice and it’s deep transformational power.

Jamie and Lindsay are stoked about this episode because in it, they interview a very special guest who fills the air waves of the conversation with magic, wonder and possibility! Starlein Fox is this guest, and she is a Psychic Intuitive who has been sharing her gifts and wisdom with the world for 34 years! Starlein is a candid, salt of the earth sorta woman who calls it like she sees it, and to be clear, much of the time she is seeing it and bringing wisdom from the other side. She is wonderfully open, easy going and unabashed about sharing her story, how she discovered her gifts as a channel and psychic, and she even gives some special support to Lindsay and Jamie at the end with a live reading. It's such a fun listen this one!

This episode digs in to the truth about psychics from a psychic's perspective. Topics include: unpacking the innate nature of intuition, how negative behaviours can lead us towards our gifts, managing energetic boundaries, ethics and dangers to look out for in seeing AND being a psychic, and how to differentiate between an intuitive thought and an intellectual one.

There is gold to be mined in this episode, much of which is graciously offered by the wonderful Starlein. She invokes possibility, piques curiosity and invites us to trust and know the unlimited possibilities that live in the wisdom of the moment .
