The Awakened Heart Podcast

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it.

~Nicholas Sparks

Heartbreaks are painful, but with some guidance and self-motivation, you can channel the pain you may be experiencing into a healing process. It is up to you to make the decision, but know that you are never alone in your journey. 

If there is anything I have learned is how to love myself through a broken heart. When a loved one’s sudden departure has left me breathless I have learned how to breathe again and with time and patience in the process I come out with a whole new depth of compassion and understanding. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes I am reborn. The only way to salvation is not stepping around the fire but walking straight through.

In this week’s pod we hear about just that from a man’s perspective. Frank Clark shares with us how he navigated through the sudden and devastating loss of his 20 year marriage and the keys to coming out stronger than ever. We also touch upon dating in a COVID world, sexuality and true intimacy and how it’s created and sustained.

YOU ARE A MIRACLE

It’s amazing what can happen when we trust in ourselves and our ability to thrive in the most challenging situations. As of this recording we are in our 7th month of lockdowns, mask mandates, closed businesses and experiencing increased limitations in our freedoms. 

Our cities are being burned and destroyed due to continued riots and protests and racial tension is at an all time high. There is a lot of questioning and uncertainty not only in this country but the world as a lot of dis-information is coming to the surface yet more restrictions are being implemented. What is really going on and when will this let up?

We all know the saying "It’s always darkest before the dawn" and 2020 has sure seen a lot of darkness and at times it can feel overwhelming. The good news is the dawn is coming as a lot of us are awakening to a greater understanding of how we can unify and empower each other to a much better "normal." But we must do this TOGETHER.

In this episode I share with you some of the things I have discovered along my own path to understanding, and how I am learning to balance this new knowledge and return to a place where I can be a source for the greater good. As a collective we can change this current trajectory and restore peace and harmony for ourselves and the future of this planet.

We are much more powerful than we can even imagine!

Save Our Children

There has been a lot coming to light recently about the HUGE problem we have with human trafficking and sexual slavery. Human trafficking is a crime that forcefully exploits women, men, and children. According to the UN, human trafficking affects every country in the world, but it’s not talked about enough.

Human trafficking earns global profits of roughly $150 billion a year for traffickers, $99 billion of which comes from commercial sexual exploitation. It’s estimated that internationally there are between 20 million and 40 million people in modern slavery today. #1 lucrative criminal activity in the world

The misconception is oh this happens somewhere else in some far off undeveloped country but this truth is it’s happening here in our country, our cities, our neighborhoods.

Catherine Ann Wilson is the founder and Executive director of StopTraffickingUS.org. As a survivor of the all to common domino effect of early childhood molestation, classroom bullying, all the bad stuff that happens when you’re a runaway by age 12, sex trafficked by 15, teenage pregnancy, dysfunctional relationships and then the long journey of healing, Catherine calls “Surviving after surviving”… Catherine is the master of thriving after trauma. She was earning a six-figure income by her 30’s. Before she was 50, 6 years ago, Catherine started a nonprofit with 3 goals.

• To be a beacon of understanding for those seeking to understand all aspects of human trafficking
• A beacon of Hope for survivors regardless of how severe or minor the trauma may seem to anyone else. She does self growth consulting and small groups.
• A beacon of loving kindness while working with kiddos at risk, incarcerated, or just struggling to find their way. Adult survivors on their own journey towards thriving. Working with first responders, businesses, faith based organizations and groups of all kinds.  

September 2019 Catherine’s team created and hosted a 3-day faith-based child abuse prevention conference, bringing in national experts Victor Vieth and Pete Singer from the Zero Abuse project and manifested an epic community educational event.

 At the same time, she was nominated as 1 of 20 outstanding women in Maine by the Portland Radio group.

 October 2019 She was invited to the Whitehouse to provide input on sex trafficking issues and make recommendations. Then invited back to the Whitehouse again in January 2020 to attend a meeting in honor of the 20th anniversary of the sex trafficking victims protection act, alongside top political leaders President Trump, Senior Vice President Pence and Ivanka Trump.

Catherine is currently creating an educational kit program for faith-based organization to update their policies to keep children and vulnerable adults safe. The end goal has always been to keep all children safe from abuse.

In This Episode, You Will Learn: 

• What human trafficking is and what it encapsulates (9:33)
