Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that can have long-term impacts on an individual's overall wellbeing. 

When we experience trauma, the emotional chaos that it triggers can be overwhelming and we may not have the emotional capacity or understanding to cope with it in a healthy way. 

As a result, what we are unable to process at the time of the trauma becomes hidden in our shadow and manifests as unconscious behavior and belief patterns. These patterns are a way of protecting ourselves from feeling the pain of the trauma, but they also keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles of behavior. 

In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring how hidden unresolved trauma has emotional, physical, social, and spiritual effects, manifesting as physical symptoms, relationship difficulties, and a sense of disconnection from oneself and others and how Shadow work can be a powerful tool for healing trauma and moving forward in a healthy way.

I share with you my own journey navigating hidden trauma through PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and how it manifested in my unconscious belief system around Motherhood impacting how I reacted emotionally within myself and with others, the physical and hormonal symptoms my body experienced and the unconscious decisions I made that perpetuated unhealthy patterns of behaviour.

Shadow work is fundamentally about healing trauma and unraveling the conditioning that gave us a false sense of our identity. 

However, it is so much more than this.

It’s about coming back home to our true nature. Back home into our bodies. and back to our inner roots. 

As women, we have been conditioned to live constantly in the head and in the doing of life, heavily focused on performance, and a very masculine way of showing up in the world.

Yet we have a completely different rhythm and nature to men because we are constantly in transition through our menstrual and reproductive cycles and how we relate to ourselves as a woman, a mother, and a daughter. 

However, we have also become disconnected from the womb, a woman’s sacred centre and the seat of our power, disconnecting us from the intelligence of our body and our own true nature, rhythm, and cycle.   

In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I’m exploring this great disconnect and how it reflects in the way you behave and believe, relate, and communicate, individually and collectively. 

I explore how it prevents you from really embracing and embodying your true nature and how shadow work for women helps you to come back home into the body and redefine the relationship you have with your deeper self.  

Sharing stories from my own journey, navigating the challenges of perimenopause and how this is impacting and changing my own nature provides insight into the relationship we have with ourselves as we experience these life-changing shifts from the inside out. 

Enjoy, 
With Love,

Your identity is your sense of self, the roles you play, the masks you wear and the labels you gather through life to show to others who you are, what you’ve achieved, and what you do for a living.

However, buried deep within your psyche is also your unconscious identity the shaping of which began pre-birth in the womb of your Mother and continued into childhood by those around you. 

As you have grown through life you have been conditioned on how to love, trust and relate with yourself and others and how to behave, what to believe, and what was acceptable and ‘right’ through your interactions with the world around you and the wounding and trauma you experienced. 

Woven through this unconscious conditioning is your own unique soul code, your gifts, strengths and talents, your spirit and nature.

All this creates your identity, your sense of self - your unconscious identity versus your true identity - and your journey through life to merge the two and become more whole through Shadow Work. 

In this episode, I share with you my own journey exploring my unconscious identity and how it has impacted my life and relationships and the lessons I learned about myself on the other side. 

I share with you key questions to help you explore your own sense of identity and where to look for your true and authentic self. 

With Love, 
Nicola x

Do you feel there's something missing? That your light has been dimmed and there's so much more of you waiting to shine through?

Maybe you’ve tried to find this light, through therapy, personal development workshops, books or social media and no matter what you have done, you know there is something deeper, hidden beneath the surface that you just can’t quite grasp.

In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring the concept of Shadow Work, what you can't see, and what now needs to come into the light if you are to have a healthier, more balanced relationship with yourself, others, and Mother Earth.

We all experience grief at some point in our lives, however how we process grief is often overlooked or ignored. 

Grief is a powerful emotion, a response to loss. Loss of a loved one, a way of life, or a way of being, living and relating. 

Grief is also a response to love, for we cannot grieve so if we have not loved so. 

Grief when left unprocessed sits heavy in the heart, creating a barrier in how we love and relate with ourselves and others and drives our behaviour and beliefs, our choices and decisions. 

In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I share my own journey navigating unprocessed grief that was triggered by the death of Queen Elizabeth and the lessons I learned from it, and how we can navigate grief in a more healthy and balanced way by following the three P’s - Presence, Patience and Permission.

“We are all at war at some point in our lives, war within ourselves, at war with others, and we all have an opinion, we all judge, name, shame and criticise ourselves and others from these wounds of war”

What has the war in Ukraine triggered in you?

War is conflict. War is internal and external conflict. War is what is happening on the inside every time we feel internal conflict within ourselves and war is what is happening outside of us, in our communities, with each other, and in the world at large when two or more opposing sides fight for power and control, freedom, sovereignty, and democracy. 

The individual and collective wounds of war run deep into the psyche and left untended they simmer and fester beneath the surface creating toxic behaviour and belief systems that hinder our ability to lead, love, and relate in a healthy and balanced way. 

In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I am exploring the individual and collective wounds of war and how the war in Ukraine is now triggering our own hidden wounds and is affecting us all on some level - economically, politically, morally, psychologically, and emotionally. 

What is happening in the collective is therefore happening inside of us, as what we are seeing is triggering something that has been buried within the self.

I share with you my own journey and the steps we can take to find resolution within the self so that we can start to consciously respond to war in the world around us rather than unconsciously reacting to it and instead unlock our human potential to work together to be solution-focused and find a more peaceful, heart-centred way to move forward, individually and collectively.

What aspect of your life are you afraid to let go of?

"Separating from our deep emotional attachments takes time as they are so embedded in the psyche, we are not aware of their existence as the repetitive pain and conflict they trigger has created a sense of identity"

Our journey of separation begins when we are born when the cord is cut and we are separated from our Mother, a journey we continue as we grow through life to develop our sense of identity and independence. 

While separation is necessary, there are aspects of the self we find challenging to separate from as they are hidden in our unconscious, buried in our shadow. 

Our emotional attachments and patterns of behaviour and beliefs that are born from our wounding, trauma, and conditioning are such aspects that are invisibly woven through our psyche, creating our sense of identity until we can separate from them enough to see them objectively and integrate the wisdom and lessons buried beneath. 

In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we’re exploring the process of separation and integration and what it means for our journey of self-development and reconnecting with our authentic self. I share with you candid stories from my own journey of separation and how, when we lean ever deeper into the process of separation we give ourselves permission to integrate more of our unknown potential hidden beneath.        

With Love, 
Nicola x

What aspects of yourself are you holding on to that actually no longer serve you?

“When we consciously or unconsciously choose to stay in unhealthy patterns in our personal or professional lives we are choosing to stay in a comfort zone, created from an unresolved wound that has created an illusion of safety.”

We all have comfort zones in all areas of our lives - personal and professional, externally and internally, and they can be conscious and unconscious. They are the areas in our lives where we feel safe, stable, and secure, the areas we feel comfortable.

As we know, we also outgrow our comfort zones and it’s our ability to act upon this that helps us to explore unchartered territory - a new environment, a new relationship, a new career path, a promotion. As a result, we evolve and experience more of our potential. 

However, we also have repetitive patterns of behaviour and beliefs that have been created as a result of the wounding, trauma, and conditioning we have been exposed to, and these equally have become our comfort zones. They have, unconsciously created a sense of our identity, our story, and therefore to change them will mean shattering the illusion we have been living within. 

So the question is are we truly ready to break out of this identity that has become our comfort zone and experience who we are beneath the wounding and the pattern?

This is the topic we are exploring in this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, how we are unconsciously comfortable staying in the comfort zones of our wounding, trauma, and conditioning, how it directly relates to our sense of needing to feel psychologically safe and steps we can take to tune into what is hidden. 

I share with you my own experiences of bringing into the light an unconscious pattern from childhood that had created a deeply embedded comfort zone and enabled my own victim archetype to continue to limit my potential, simply because it created an illusion of safety.

Nicola x

“When we feel disconnected, dis-harmony or dis-ease, or we are experiencing internal conflict, separation or the deep sense that something is missing, this is our intuition communicating the imbalances caused by the fragmentation of our soul”

Where in your life do you feel disconnected, separated, or like something is missing?

The fragmented soul is an evolutionary concept of how the wounding, trauma, and conditioning we are exposed to causes separation from our true nature and fragments our soul as a result. 

Scattered into pieces, each fragment contains the moment the separation occurred and also the gifts, strengths, talents, and personal power that also became separated at the same time. 

In Shamanic traditions, it is the role of the Shaman or Shamanic Healer to alter their state of consciousness and journey to the other worlds beyond the veil and work with their spirit guides to find and restore these fragments and return them to the person/client seeking them. 

It is a deep healing practice of returning the soul and the self to wholeness, re-membering those parts of ourselves that we have become separated and disconnected from as a result of the pain and suffering we experienced. 

In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we explore the journey of the fragmented soul and its relationship to Shadow Work and the steps we can take to remember our own soul back home. I share with you my own experience through my Shamanic Roots and Soul Retrieval and how this fundamentally changed my life and my own soul’s journey.    

With Love,

How much do you love yourself? Do you love all of yourself? Parts of Yourself? Or none of yourself?

Loving the self is our natural state of being, to be in love with the self, and yet as a result of the wounding, trauma, and conditioning we have been exposed to we have become disconnected from love, from being able to truly love the self. 

As a result of this deep disconnection from love we have learned how to self-harm, however when we think of self-harm we think of the physical act of violence on the self, and yet, we harm ourselves every single day without realising it. 

In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I’m exploring how we recognise self-harm so that we can remember self-love. I bring your attention to the ways in which we unconsciously harm ourselves to be loved and accepted by others, and ignoring and rejecting parts of ourselves because they are simply too painful to acknowledge. I also share with you a simple tool to reconnect with the heart and steps we can take to remember love of thy self. 

With Love,
