Shamelessly Feminine

Tricia Dycka is a cancer survivor, intuitive empath coach, Reiki Master, and more, and she's on the podcast today to talk about being an empath. She answers the question "what is an empath?" and talks about connecting with people close to you on a different level when you can pick up on their energies and emotions. You'll also learn about how an empath picks on others' positive emotions as well as the negative, and how to deal with the emotions we feel during social isolation and a global pandemic.

Key Quotes from the Episode:

"I want to express that whether you're home alone or you're in a house full of people, the four walls of your house do not protect you from emotions, which are energy in motion."

"The universe doesn't have a verbal language so we have to pay attention to [the signs it sends]."

Julie Peters' experience of sexual assault and the healing that came afterwards is powerful and a story that has to be told. This episode is full of "a-ha" moments and deep wisdom. Julie talks about her book "Want: 8 Steps to Recovering Desire, Passion, and Pleasure After Sexual Assault" and how it breaks down the healing process in an easy to digest, gentle format. She and Jen also unpack the complexities of socialization and how it shapes rape culture, and Julie gives some surprising insight into how food can help with healing. Find Julie at her website.

Key Quotes from the Episode:

"One of the things that I really discovered in the process of recovery for me and my experience was that it's really not about going back to anything, it's really much more about uncovering a new sense of self and a new perception on what the world is and really taking the lessons from whatever it is you went through and letting those be your gems and riches."

"I did a lot of research around trauma and female sexual desire and all kinds of research, but really the work of the book was delving into myself and my journey and what I'd been through and really digging up some things and processing them and working them through."

"We live in a society that has some gender binary and there's a lot of misogyny in our culture. Even if you haven't been sexually assaulted, something like 80+% of people who identify as women has been catcalled on the street, sexually harassed at work, felt disempowered by some way in another by the medical system, not listened to. We have a lot of these experiences where we're told one rand over again 'you have less value, you don't have power.'"

This time on Shamelessly Feminine, Jen is talking to Dr. Mary Claire Haver, an OB-GYN in Texas. As her patient population aged, she was overwhelmed with the number of complaints and concerns her patients had with weight gain while going through menopause. For years, she told her patients to eat less and exercise more. It wasn't until she, too, experienced the changes of menopause that she realized this advice doesn't work. In this episode, she's telling us all about how her studies of aging and nutrition caused her to develop the Galveston Diet, the first and only nutrition program in the world created by a female OB-GYN - this is no junk science. The Galveston Diet is dedicated to helping women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition, and once you hear this interview, you will definitely want to check out the program! Find more information at GalvestonDiet.com

Key Quotes from the Episode:

"It's simple nutritional changes, loading up on on behavior and practices that decrease inflammation and doing away with those that add inflammation."

"So I practiced on myself and literally that 20 pounds [that I gained] melted off. Not only that, I was sleeping better. My brain fog was better. I was working out better. My joints felt better. I mean, all of the non-scaled benefits were so much better."

"My residency was jam packed and prevention just falls at the wayside. It's like, 'That's common knowledge. People should just understand that inherently,' and they actually don't. So many things in the industry are working against us for that."

How can we better connect to our feminine within? That's the question Rachael Jayne Groover, my guest on this week's podcast episode, is answering on the regular. She has trained over 12,000 women with her Art of Feminine Presence® training, which wraps up the physical, energetic, and feminine all in one. We talk about getting clear on the yin and yang aspects of life as opposed to the feminine vs. masculine, how to keep the embodiment of the feminine in everything we do, and how meditation can not only bring us into the present more, but also bring us back to the feminine within so that we can truly be seen.

Check out Rachael Jayne's website at https://rachaeljayne.com/

Key Quotes from the Episode:

"If we still the mind, we then automatically connect to our life force."

"Everybody on the planet has a different version of what feminine means and what masculine means. In the Art of Feminine Presence®, we pull apart feminine and masculine to yin and yang as separate things, so we can really get clear on what the yin and yang aspects of life are. Most people would think of masculine as yang and feminine as yin, but let's take feminine and masculine out of it."

"A lot of women want to be seen, but then they don't want to be seen, because there's that fear of that."

Emotional eating healer Jessica Procini joins me this week, and she is on a mission to help busy, successful, driven women use food as fuel instead of a way to cope, soothe, or escape from their busy stressful lives. You're going to learn how to observe whether you are engaging in emotional eating and how Jessica can help you get freedom, peace, and integrity when it comes to treating your body right.

Key Quotes from the Episode:

"We have to be able to process and really feel and digest our happiness in a healthy way, otherwise it turns into a way where we sabotage ourselves."

"We're meant to have a peaceful, loving, healthy relationship with food."

"We have to face ourselves every single day, multiple times a day. We can either do it in a chaotic, compulsive way, or we can do it from a real place of freedom, peace, and integrity."

We're talking relationships this week - the good, the bad, and the ugly. My guest Stephanie McPhail helps women "date up," and after she did a lot of her own "dating down," she has come to a place where she can support women who are transitioning from a bad situation to a better one. But don't worry, this episode is full of hope and REAL, practical advice for people getting out of abusive relationships.

Key Quotes from the Episode:

"You feel the fear and do it anyway. You get so used to what you know is not good for you, but it's just what you know. When I made a decision to leave [abuse], I made a decision to change my life."

"When you're working on a muscle you work on it from a bunch of different angles, but when it comes to healing, we don't work on just the emotional part; the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual need to be worked on."
