In this week’s episode, Gwen supports a highly sensitive being, Amy, with her intention to release something that is causing heaviness in physical body and anxiety in her emotional body. Amy also notices that other friends are feeling the same way that she is like they are on an energetic rollercoaster. This is a powerful episode because I have noticed this myself.

In the episode, Amy shares that she suffered from autoimmune for 10 years but learned to heal her body and feel energetic again. However, there are times when the old symptoms come back, and it's typically related to picking up energy from her family or friend’s trauma, fears, anxieties, stress, emotions that they haven’t dealt with. This leaves her feeling dragged down, undisciplined, unmotivated, suppressed energy similar to the autoimmune symptoms.

Amy has learned to clear the energy out with tools like working with the moon, self-forgiveness, smudging. The tools usually support her, but the energy is stuck this time. At times she can sometimes push through it, but she pays for it with even more exhaustion.

Through guiding Amy to understand the purpose of this energy, we discover deeper misbeliefs and suffering that can be created from an unconscious, binary and punishing thinking of, “if I do this right, I’ll be rewarded with more energy, and if I do this bad then I’ll be punished with depleted energy”. By the end of the episode, Amy gets clear on why the energy is present and what she can do to support herself.

In this episode we discuss:

• How it feels to have autoimmune

• The reality of being highly sensitive beings

• How our binary or duality thinking can create suffering

• Listening to the wisdom of our energies and bodies have for us

• How to redefine the relationship we have with our rhythm of starting and stopping

• When we connect and embody our worthiness, our energy shifts and expands

In this week’s episode, Gwen guides Claire to trust her feminine, and release the hyper-masculine when building her new business.

In her daily life, Claire has moments where she feels connected to her feminine, and as if she’s living from that state of surrender, creation, and flow. But when the work to-do list gets overwhelming, Claire drops into hyper-masculine energy of, “I have to do it all, do it now, and I can’t rest until it is all done.”

Through guiding Claire to understand the masculine and feminine energies within her and releasing the need to control when she feels out of control, Claire connects to the wise feedback that this forceful energy has for her. By listening and honoring this wisdom of the masculine and feminine, Claire is able to find the grace and ease she’s been looking for as she starts her business.

In this episode we discuss:

• Feeling out of control and overwhelmed with work

•Learning to sit with discomfort and listening to its feedback

• How being in control brings a false sense of security and safety

• How to bring masculine and feminine balance in our work as women

• Identifying the childhood experiences and coping mechanisms to survive

• How to shift the younger experience into a new way of being as an adult

• Deconditioning old ways, taking contrary action, and creating new patterns

• Slowing down to listen to the clarity of the divine feminine energy and her intuition

• Becoming so attuned to your own patterns and nervous system to become sovereign

• How healing one issue inside helps shift the collective imbalance of masculine-feminine

In this week’s episode, Gwen coaches with Jennifer who is a healthcare provider and mother looking for clarity on why she moves into old thoughts of perfectionism, imposter syndrome, compare and despair, and feeling like she doesn’t have enough to offer. When new opportunities arise, she freezes, doubts herself, and then distracts with other projects. Her tools of meditation, journaling, and inner reflection are not helping her move through blocks the way they once did. As we move through the episode, you’ll hear me guide Jennifer through my process of attuning to the wisdom of the body, talking with the energy, connecting it to a younger self who felt the need to be perfect in order to be seen and loved. Through self-forgiveness, inner child healing, and bringing in her future higher self, Jennifer feels overwhelmed with a softening, fluidity, and love.

In this episode we discuss:

• What’s at the core of perfectionism

• Why we fall into patterns of imposter syndrome

• Childhood experiences seek healing through current life

• The maladaptive patterns from traumatic events and healthier ways of being with yourself

After the recording, Gwen shared with Jennifer that at the beginning of the podcast she said a phrase, “I’ll be found out”. This phrase carried a lot of past life energy of being a witch or healer or medicine woman when it was not safe and dangerous to be found out. It was at this point that Jennifer shared her profession and has been told by other healers that there are many layers to the fear she feels in this lifetime.

Breathwork is a useful tool for the witch wound – women with fear of speaking up, speaking out, being seen, allowing their gifts to be fully expressed and seen, and clearing out past lives or generations of women that weren’t safe.
