Today we introduced you to our new podcast the Art of Joy. We hope that this little piece of real estate will become a soft place to land. Perhaps after a long day, or if you are in the darkest rut of your life, we are here to soften your fall. To us, the Art of Joy is recognizing that we are individual masterpieces, and every trial that we are asked to endure is just another layer of chipping away the old so that we can move closer to our superpowers and the genius that we were all born to discover. www.theartofjoy.com Instagram @theartofjoypodcast

If you own a business or want to start one, this episode will inspire you to pull the trigger. Ellie shares with us her incredible journey from education to taking a chance to own her own business. She walks us through the courage it took to overcome the messages telling her she wouldn't be successful. Ellie remained curious and asked really great questions. From there, she received great answers and ideas and became wildly successful. Her true accomplishment was when she decided to try to duplicate her process with a whole new idea. She has such brilliant insight into business, what it needs to be successful, and how to spot the true magic you have to offer.  Hearing her share this incredible journey inspires us to think about the magic we offer the world. This conversation will help you look at yourself and get curious about what lights you up. Even if you don't want to turn that into a business, you can shine a brighter light and share your uniqueness with the world.  We have been honored to work with and learn from Ellie! She has taken the time to show us where we shine and helped sprinkle magic in our life!

Inside the mind of business strategist Ellie Mcmakin

We are back with a conversation about women, and the highs and lows that come with Mother's Day. We talk about finding our own inspiration and joy that hides in the cracks and can feel elusive. We are thinking about every woman out there who struggles on this day. There are so many hard stories and unfortunate circumstances that can cast a huge shadow. So many of us have to hold sadness, anger, frustration, and a million moments of unfairness. What we have learned is that there is a beautiful connection and divine feminine energy that we can connect to. We can hold the joyful moments and still mourn whatever may be weighing us down.   On this holiday, we celebrate the very energy that women bring into the everyday world. We honor those of you who keep going and those who sit with difficult emotions. We honor the Divine Feminine that is crying out to be remembered. We honor you. Try to find a little joy that is hiding in those shadows. Take really good care of yourself and remember. YOU are perfect just as you are!  Way big Love! Tresa + Ashlee

Mothers Day 2023

We are so excited to be back after a bit of a break. We've been busy working on our course, Divine Woman the art of Unbecoming. It has been in the works for a long time now. It was born from you our community and all of the questions, conversations, and interactions we've had with you over the years. We compiled all of our tools, education, and real-life moments of healing, to help you do the same.  In this episode, Tresa shares a vulnerable healing process that came to her in the form of a dream. She shares her insight and how moving into her mid-life has been challenging, and some of her biggest work yet!  We believe that life is one big journey, that we arrive and meet new versions of ourselves over and over again. Who we were in our 20s is not who we become in our 30s. We want to continue sharing how we unbecome the old versions of ourselves and step into the alignment of who we are becoming, as we get closer to who we've been all along!  We are so thankful for all of you who continue to support the work we are called to do! For sharing your beautiful hearts and souls with us, and allowing us to witness the beautiful healing powers that we all have! Women who come together are limitless and powerful and we see you!  Love Tresa + Ashlee https://www.theartofjoy.com/divine-women/ https://www.theartofjoy.com

Divine Woman The Art of Unbecoming

In today's episode, we have a conversation with Clayne Edward Wayman. He was a former member of the FLDS polygamist group referred to as "The Work." His new book Echos of Resounding love, A true story of a polygamist kid's journey to spiritual awakening" Is a gripping tale of Survival, abuse, faith, suppression, adultery, polygamy, enlightenment, and hope. Clayne has undergone a complete transformation from the lifestyle and beliefs he was raised with. He found the courage to challenge what the Divine means to him and discovered the sacredness of women and the role of men as we evolve. Hearing a man's perspective on this topic is incredibly powerful. The foundation of the polygamist culture is rooted in Patriarchy. Women are treated as currency as they multiply the congregation from within. It also speaks to the early days of the LDS church when members openly practiced polygamy.  Clayne tells a visual story of the challenges he faced in his culture. Some of these moments are hard to hear, but the honesty in his approach is validating, and the reader is cheering him on as they move through the pages. Speaking his truth and telling his story is intended to reach others who are struggling and share his message of love.  In our interview with Clayne, he shares how he put his church's prophecy to the test and how in that process, he discovered the divinity that makes up a woman and, in return, a man as well. We were fascinated by his story and encourage you to purchase his book. It's available for pre-order and immediately for kindle.   https://www.amazon.com/s?k=echos+of+resounding+love&crid;=3PR4S5ND8BHLR&sprefix;=echos+of+resounding+%2Caps%2C150&ref;=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_20 FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/claynew

Echoes of Resounding Love: A True Story of A Polygamous Kid's Journey to Spiritual Awakening

Are you consciously living for yourself? We've been raised in a society that has taught us as women that our service to others is paramount and the ultimate priority. We tend to sacrifice our needs for those around us and frequently settle for the leftovers. We are in changing times that are asking us to emerge from the heaviness of the invisible expectations. We are being challenged to discover joy, pleasure, and connection.   New moms are easily overwhelmed during the postpartum phase of life.  As we age, we collide with our middle life and feel empty-handed and hearted in the lonely moments of completing the most monumental work in our lifetime. It becomes critical that, as young women, we learn to find moments of consciousness and peace, love and joy. This empowers us with tools as we face our middle life when kids grow up and move on.  There is an uprising, and it's calling on all of us to explore the margins, expand our ability to dip into our joyful power, make time for our precious souls and create community with other women. Find times for connection with other women. Have dance parties, feel your emotions, and capture the joy we offer each other as we explore our wild nature.  BOOK: Pussy a Reclamation https://www.amazon.com.au/Pussy-Reclamation-Regena-Thomashauer/dp/1401950264
