One of the best ways you can help yourself in times of stress and uncertainty (like 2020!) is to focus on what you *can* control, instead of what you can’t. People of all ages are burning out from the intensity and strain of this year. Mental health issues are on the rise everywhere. But there is good news: You have the power to focus (or refocus) your attention. YOU say what gets your time and energy. And in this episode Kelly offers up some support and helpful tips on how to focus on the things that are in the locus of your control and how to be choosy with what gets your precious time, energy and attention.

You are much more powerful than you realize. Make good choices for yourself and you’ll be fine. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

We are going to survive this year!

You are a child of the Universe and everything is unfolding exactly as it should - what a relief, right? That’s the main theme of this episode of the Strong Women Power Half-hour! In this challenging time of uncertainty it is powerful to be reminded of our power to help ourselves be grounded, reassured and whole. After everything this year has brought we are more tired and weary than usual but that makes this the perfect time to feed ourselves supportive and nourishing things. Listen to this episode to increase the peace in your heart and stability in your mind. Oh, and Kelly throws in some real life examples of the Divine Feminine, too!

You are doing great. Trust in yourself. You are doing hard things and you are still alive and kicking! And if you are ever swimming in doubt, confusion or anxiety repeat these affirmations to yourself (from the Mother of Affirmations, Louis Hay):

All is well.

Everything is working out for my highest good.

Out of this situation only good will come.

I am safe.

Life only makes sense in hindsight. Have faith in yourself. You are doing the best you can and that’s ENOUGH. Everything in perfect time.

What is the Divine Feminine and why do folks keep talking about it “rising”? In this episode I, your host Kelly, talk with my Shaman and soul-sister Regina Wright about the Divine Feminine, women’s spirituality, human history and more. Is the Divine Feminine only found in women? What's the difference between the Divine Feminine and Goddesses? Join us as we talk about female energy, Goddesses around the world, women’s leadership and the shift in consciousness that’s occurring.

It is important to give your inner child love, support and reassurance, in “normal” times. But it is especially true when we’ve all been so shocked and challenged by world events out of our control. By connecting to and listening to your inner child you can help to heal yourself while stepping into your full adult being. In this episode, Kelly helps you to identify what your inner child can sound like and how to build a stronger relationship of integrity and trust with yourself. There’s even a mini-meditation to help you on your inner child journey! And we close with a beautiful song by Kimya Dawson that’s guaranteed to warm your heart.

Go ahead, connect to that “little you”. She’s full of wisdom and wonder. And every bit of work you do to hear and heal your inner child, helps heal the world. For real. That’s how it’s done.

Wow. This year has been one wild ride. Collectively we have each been on our own journeys of facing our deepest fears (including the unknown) and we are still HERE. In this episode Kelly talks about the realities of 2020 through the lenses of the creation/destruction Goddesses Kali and Pelé while acknowledging how anxiety and depression creeps in at times of uncertainty and exhaustion.

Kelly encourages you to ask for help and to give your past (and present) self some love for surviving this whole thing thus far. We include some journal prompts to help unload your subconscious and create more space for all that’s coming and wrap it up with a song that captures the whole vibe of the episode.

Be kind to yourself.

You are doing great.

Now make sure to tell yourself that.

Journal prompts:

1. These last few months have caused me to feel:

2. I am proud of myself for:

3. If there was anywhere in my life where I need help, it's:

Use these prompts to help empty your subconscious and honour your journey. This year has been one wild ride.
