In today’s episode…

I’m chatting with Jen Wende,  an energy coach, generational healer®, and yoga therapist.  Described as powerful and playful, Jen makes healing your and your ancestral emotional baggage lighter and easier so you can show up for yourself, your family, and community in the impactful way you desire. Jen and I discuss:

• Why it’s better for both our children and ourselves when we can get out of our “own spin” and witness their pure consciousness.
• Why Jen goes back as far as 13 or 14 generations to work with ancestors of the past to heal wounds of the present.
• Who the ancestors that Jen works with are.
• How to know if your trauma is yours, or your ancestors.
• Knowing when it’s time for ancestral healing in your life and what it can help you release from your life.
• Why our trauma healing is incomplete if it only addresses the physical body.
• How ancestor trauma creates changes to our energy inheritance similar to the way epigenetic changes alter our DNA and gene expressions.
• Ancestral healing for people may have been adopted or otherwise have no connection to their bloodline relatives.
• How the need for belonging, connection, and validation never go away – even after death.
• Connecting with your ancestors on your own and how to practice listening to your intuition.
• The surprising way I’ve been asking my ancestors for help with my son and how there’s a bigger village of support able to help us out than we sometimes realize.

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place.

I’m your host Christa Bevan and I’m a certified TRE provider (which stands for tension & trauma releasing exercises), trauma-informed yoga instructor, and also a dynamic self-care coach for moms. And of course, a fellow radical mother. My approach to this work blends neuroscience-backed tools and heart-centered intuition.

In today’s episode…

I discuss the missing link for so many Radical Mothers that is ceremony, ritual, and the honoring of rites of passage in our lives as mothers.  I also talk about:

• The role of ceremony in a mother’s life to honor the rite of passage that entering motherhood is.
• How the rites of passage in a woman’s life are often commercialized events designed to “fix problems” instead of honoring them as sacred transitions.
• My issue with baby showers and what I want instead.
• How ceremony helps us gain clarity, and who can help impart some of that onto us.
• The surprising benefit of rituals for our nervous system.
• How the concept of “sacred in the ordinary” can elevate the monotonous work of motherhood.
• How we can incorporate a sense of ritual into our lives as mothers.

I’m chatting with Beth Berry, a life coach, small group and retreat facilitator, mother of four daughters, and author of the recently published #1 Best Seller Motherwhelmed.  Beth and I discuss:
 

• Beth’s story of being a radical mother and how that evolved as her journey through motherhood evolved.
• How our unconscious agreements can sometimes be a “trap of our own making.”
• The deep roots of the sister wound and what holds us back from seeking the belonging we so desperately crave.
• Why it’s important to use discernment in choosing the women that we enter into intimate healing relationships with.
• How we can work to build a sense of village in our lives, even if digitally.
• How idealism can be the Achilles heel of a Radical Mother.
• Beth’s favorite stretch of her parenting journey.
• Should moms need to be our kid's playmates?
• How Beth unconsciously agreed to absorb the impact of dysfunctional systems for her family.

• How mothering in the modern world can be traumatic
• Why it can be hardest to accept help when you need it the most
• The sister wound - what it is and why healing it should matter to Radical Mothers

• Coming to terms with the difference between who we expected to be as mothers and who we are as mothers.
• Why the shame & blame game in the mommy world need to be redirected.
• How we've outsourced the work of the village to corporations and what that means for us as mothers.
