Shirin Etessam experienced a major upheaval in life, which of course led her down a twisty path of personal growth, lots of honesty & a spiritual revolution. 

Once a "Half-Assed Spiritualist", she discovered herself along the way, & reconnected with her Soul. Now she is sharing with others the same practices she used for herself.  Hopefully you won't have to go through the 6 year process she did! 

She put all her discoveries into a book, titled:
Free to Be: A 6-Week Guide to Reclaiming Your Soul

Shirin shares:

• What she thinks the Soul is, and her process of finding it
• How we disconnect from ourselves, & what we need to Let Go Of to be able to listen to ourselves again
• How to categorize people into Taser, Shield, Filter or Hug so we can save our energies and flourish with our tribe!
• The value of play in really growing our soul vibrancy

I loved today's conversation with Shirin! She is a light to the world. If you also think of yourself as a Half-Assed Spiritualist, she might be the best person yet to share with you how to go about reconnecting with your soul!

Menstruation gets most of the focus as being the main event in the women's monthly cycle, but the Big Deal is actually Ovulation!

There are many gifts in Ovulation, mainly that it is the time womb holders have outward focused energy.  We want to get more done, feel alluring and have more energy.  Who doesn't want to feel like that?

The thing is, we don't just automatically get the gifts of ovulation if we've been living out of sync with our body's natural rhythms.  Which if you've been in a patriarchal society, is YOU.   So basically everyone, right?

This supports education, overhead, growth and more so I can keep bringing you (my awesome audience) great podcast episodes.

Just two of the things I mention for how to get the gifts of Ovulation:
Track your cycle--not just menstruation, but also ovulation.  Your body does give signs you are ovulating.
Be slow and rejuvenate during your period--feel all your feelings and go inward to tune into yourself. 

To learn more about how all of this works, and to live in a way that honors your body, join Radiance Recipe!  See below for info.

You might be an ancestral pattern breaker, and by that I mean one who is healing their family line.

It can be lonely, daunting work.  It also has a lot of rewards.

There are several signs of this, just one being that you keep doing healing work long after others in your family have lost interest.  If they ever started.  You can feel compelled to continue to learn and practice new methods of healing.  These can come from psychology, mental health, human development, spirituality or other sciences. 

I relate to this so much because I am also a person healing my family line.  I just did some work on myself this morning.  You may experience things popping up out of no where, as I do, that you feel it is time to heal. 

I share about 6 different signs you might be a healer of your family line.  This is not a complete list.  If you know of more, please reach out to me and share them!  If, after listening, you think YOU are an ancestral healer, let me know!  I love hearing from people like you!

Understanding the concepts of divine masculine and divine feminine has totally transformed my life, and I want the same for you!

What is the core need of each of these energies?
What is the deepest want of each of these energies?
What helps them grow?
What traits do they posses?

If you'd like to support the podcast
Click here to make a one time contribution
This supports education, overhead, growth and more so I can keep bringing you (my awesome audience) great podcast episodes.

Being able to know these, and apply them to your life, can help you have better relationships with others and yourself.   When you know the core need for feminine, you can make sure to give it to yourself, and explain your need to those who love you.  When you know what helps you grow, you can ask for that!  When you know the traits of masculine energy, you can notice when you or those around you are in a masculine moment or way of being.  This informs how that person is thinking at that moment, and how to interact with them. 

The ways to apply masculine and feminine to your life are infinite.  How have you been applying it to your life, or how do you plan to?

If you are creative, with dreams and maybe a plan to someday make money with that creativity--you want to listen today!

Miriam Schulman is an artist, author and podcaster.  She coaches artists to thrive in business as Professional Artists.  Today we're talking about her amazing book, Artpreneur: The Step by Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living from your Creativity.

I read her book, and as a women in business I gobbled that damned thing UP!!!  I learned so much!  We talk about many aspects of her book, which will be useful to anyone with any sort of goals, even if they aren't based in creativity, money or business.  A lot of this book is about personal growth.

• We'll be delving into thought distortion, and how to move past them.
• She speaks deeply on what creates Self Trust--Clue: It's really NOT what you think!
• There is a whole chapter on Embracing Your Inner Weird-o, which I think is SO important.
• I'm sure there is more I forgot, and it is all so good!

Personal Experiences and Science keep showing us that working with our bodies is much more profound for deep healing than just talk therapy or behavior changes.  As a former therapist who has offered a lot of talk therapy, even I agree with this.  It only gets a person so far.

 Today, Chris does an excellent job of walking us through what the process might be like to work with a holistic therapist who includes somatic work.  Curious?  Me too!

 Chris is a holistic therapist who weaves trauma informed yoga, breathwork, meditation and brainspotting into her services with clients.

 You’ll learn:

• What is Somatic therapeutic work
• That doing yoga in therapy is simpler than you thought
• Why doing the skills at home makes profound changes

We do an impromptu body scan, which was great!  Here are some meaningful questions you can ask to connect more deeply to your body.

1. Where in your body do you feel strong?
2. Where in your body do you feel centered?
3. Where in your body do you feel neutral/numb?

She also mentions Three Life Rafts, and I wanted to make sure you had them written down, so here they are!

1. Grounding
2. Resourcing
3. Breathwork

What values do people with codependent traits tend to have?  And why might they tend to have similar ones?

There are many driving forces behind codependency, and what is considered of ultimate importance is likely to get distilled down to a value/moral/ethic perspective.

We talk about society at large, and how culture supports codependent traits/behaviors, as well as what values a codependent person may have an aversion to.  It's really interesting!

Check out the Values Card Sort Here to learn more about your values. 
When I would do this activity/game with therapy clients, I'd have them organize ALL the values into the 3 categories.  Then I'd have them take the 'Very Important to Me' cards, (while getting rid of the other 2 piles of cards) and resort them again into the 3 categories.  This is a way to distill down what your most important, core values are.  It's really eye opening!  If you do this activity, email me and let me know what your top 5 values were!

Let’s have a gab about being a girl, with Alexis Beer!  She’s a mental health professional with the Canadian Resilient Minds program, plus we knew each other 15 years ago.  Whaaa????  Totally a fun story.

She kinda knows her stuff when it comes to the dual (and often conflicting!) expectations of being a woman.  Be sure to keep your ears perked up to hear 3 Invisible Expectations that can hold Women back from getting what they want in life.  We chat about how expectations effect women’s self perceptions, her definition of mental health and why feminism is also for men.

We’ve all said this, right?  We usually feel super desperate when we say it, because we’ve done so many things to improve the situation!

Did you know this is actually a limiting statement?  I go into how this energetically blocks you from seeing options, makes several assumptions, and puts you in the space of not being open to help.  

Yikes!  We don’t want any of that!  I also go over some other phrases that you could say that feel true, but either don’t block you at all, or block you less.

Yes, let’s get it Sister!

Incorporating a new concept or self understanding can be jarring.  It can take a while to even know how to talk about it!

Why is this?  There are actually several reasons, and I got over some of them today.

1. Right Brain, Left Brain
2. Where language, emotions and trauma are stored
3. The stages of change

There is a lot that goes into a change in perspective, so make sure that you are being kind to yourself as you make the shift!  A lot more in changing in your mind, heart, relationships and world view than you might think!
