In this episode, I'm discussing the role of forgiveness in the journey of healing trauma.  Forgiveness is not usually the first step, but I do think it's a crucial step after you've processed through some of the other initial emotions from whatever traumatic experience you're processing.

In this episode you'll learn:

• What forgiveness is and what it isn't
• Why I think it's an integral part of healing trauma
• The difference between forced forgiveness and authentic forgiveness
• The one person you should always be forgiving 
• How trauma survivors can often unintentionally perpetuate the trauma towards themselves
• How nervous system literacy helped make space in my life for forgiveness and allow me to reframe my own traumatic childhood experiences
• A powerful Hawaiian forgiveness prayer, Ho'oponopono and how to use it in your life

In this episode, I'm chatting with Lora Cheadle, a former attorney turned Life Choreographer, who uses the concepts in burlesque to help women who have been betrayed (by life, their body, themselves, or by someone that they love) untangle themselves from the pain, reclaim their sexy, and create a life they love on their own terms.

In this episode we chat about: 

• How Lora found herself after feeling lost to motherhood, through burlesque dance
• How dance helped her connect to the joy she experienced in childhood
• Why it’s important to keep trying things, even if they don’t work out at first until you find the thing that does bring you joy
• How we can borrow inspiration and motivation from other people to get started at things that scare us
• The lessons in treating women with respect she was able to teach her sons
• How stepping into her identity through burlesque helped Lora step into her power

In this episode, I'm chatting with Liz Kimball, a Creativity Catalyst, writer, speaker, and Founder of The Collective, a network of feminist creators dedicated to fostering cultural change through creativity. 

In this episode we chat about: 

• How Liz is expressing a “generational voice” that hasn’t been able to be fully heard in her family lineage until now.
• How raising babies can be the greatest creative work of our lives, but it’s still important to nourish our creativity beyond that act alone
• The paradox of postpartum when we feel a mismatch of creative energy and creative capacity
• How the space of ‘no longer, but not quite yet’ is a fertile space for the transmission of ancestral wisdom and insight
• The parallels between the pandemic experience and entering into motherhood
• How worry is a loud siren wanting our attention at all times, and how we need to disconnect from it in order to show up for both our children and our creative process
• How Liz incorporates her creative process into her life as a mother
• How creative expression can help us regulate our nervous system, and why it’s important to have a ‘place to land’ with your creativity as a mother
• How showing up for ourselves regularly to nurture our creative voice can be an exercise in reparenting and building trust with our intuition
• Strengthening the relationship you have to your own inner voice to hear the ‘sound of the genuine’ and separate it from the noise of motherhood
