Welcome to Episode 8 of The Science & The Sacred

In this episode, I speak to Mari Kennedy, an Irish Celtic Wisdom Weaver and founder of The Next Stage Celtic Wheel - a space of radical wisdom for contemporary women. In this episode, I speak to Mari about how the power of The Wheel showed up in her own life, how she leads from the Feminine and how we can all embrace the dance between the Masculine and the Feminine through the seasons of the year.

About Mari & The Celtic Wheel:

Mari Kennedy, a global gatherer of women, a weaver of ancient and new wisdom, founder of Next Stage Celtic Wheel, an online journey through the Celtic Festivals for modern-day medicine women.  

She is a Celtic wisdom and Embodiment Guide, a mentor and a new paradigm businesswoman. 

For the last 15 years, she has been coaching, mentoring, teaching, facilitating, guiding and reminding thousands of women across all 5 continents on this beautiful planet that we are forces of nature, points of sovereign power in the great family of things. She has been walking the sacred path of sovereignty for the last two decades. From an exhausted, disconnected 38-year-old “living the dream" (or should I say, “the illusion”) to a flourishing, shameless, sovereign woman spinning new realities, excited every day about the new world emerging.

• Welcome to Episode 5 of the Science & The Sacred

In this episode, I speak about the range of emotions I have been going through after having an ectopic pregnancy and what tools have helped me to stay supported during this time.

I explain how a solid support system, therapy, and the self-care strategies available to me really helped me to stay grounded. However, I did struggle with not being able to work, sea swim or physically move my body and had to learn to fully surrender to what was happening to me.

Through my own work with Cyclical Wisdom ( Menstrual Cycle Awareness & The Celtic Wheel), I was able to place my experiences into a framework that made sense to me. I explain how going from a very " Summery" part of my life into the depths of "Winter" allowed me to recognise my need to slow down, simplify, and surrender.

About Ectopic Pregnancies 

All information is taken from the HSE.ie and NHS.co.uk

An ectopic pregnancy is where a fertilised egg implants outside of the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube, but it can happen on the ovary, the cervix or the abdominal cavity.

Symptoms

• pain in your tummy, especially down one side 
•  pain when peeing or pooing
• upset stomach or diarrhoea 
• vaginal bleeding or brown/watery discharge 
• constant pain in the tip of your shoulder
• confirmed pregnancy test/missed period

Go to ED immediately if:

• severe, sudden, or sharp pain in your tummy
• collapse or feel very dizzy or faint

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Science & The Sacred

Welcome back, I hope you enjoyed episode one and are excited to listen to all the great content we will be covering.

In today’s episode I wanted to introduce myself and explain my story of how I got into Coaching and why I do it.

In this episode, I talk about "my story", who I am as a person, who I am as a coach and I how I came to work in this industry.

I talk about my own struggles with my health and wellbeing, discussing my previously poor relationship with food, exercise and my menstrual cycle, and explain how this lived experience inspired me to change the way "health" is coached.

Content warning: Eating disorders and disordered eating is discussed.

Welcome to Episode 3 of The Science & The Sacred

My first guest on The Science & The Sacred will be….me. Surprise!

In today’s episode, I cover my coaching approach : The Four Pillars of Women's Wellbeing.

• Move Your Body - Training in an intuitive, balanced way that supports your health
• Nourish Your Body - Intuitive eating and gentle nutrition to embrace food as your friend
• Track Your Cycle - Understanding and supporting your Menstrual Cycle Health through tracking (from the physiological to FAM to MCA)
• Soothe your Soul - Prioritising stress management and time for cyclical self-care/spirituality

I explain how I weave these into my coaching approach along with concepts such as  "The Big Rocks" and "Good Enough, Better, Best" as ways to allow flexibility within your wellbeing habits, which improves consistency and reduces all or nothing thinking.

Show Notes - Ep 1
Welcome to Episode 1 of the Science & The Sacred
I’m Sinead Brophy, a Women’s Wellbeing & Menstrual Cycle Coach.
I wanted to create a platform where I get to share my wealth of knowledge, chat to amazing
people and really just talk about everything to do with Women’s Health & Wellbeing.
In this episode, I introduce myself, explaining who I am, what my ethos is and how I believe we
need a mix of the science (menstrual cycle health, nutrition, movement) with the sacred
(spirituality, self-care, cyclical living) to be balanced, happy humans.
I also cover what you can expect from the podcast, from topics covered to how many episodes
there will be a month.
