After a bit of a break the podcast is back!

I discuss everyone's favorite topic, Pain and Discomfort...okay maybe not everyone's favorite topic but one that NEEDS to be talked about WAY more!

PAIN (Pay Attention Inside Now!)

This podcast explores how pain and discomfort are catalysts for GROWTH, EXPANSION and EVOLUTION. They are a part of our natural and innate humanness and can be used to grow.

No shit, no roses.

This podcast also goes through HOW to be with pain in a way that alchemizes it and helps you become more whole.

Enjoy!

Check out the 40 Day Soul FULL journey on my website, now being offered in the gift economy.

This podcast is both a "chat" on priorities of the heart as well as an experience "Deep Drink" heart activation, guided meditation.

So often we get caught up in the priorities of the material outer world, in what we think we should be and do and forget to listen into the wisdom of the heart.

We get disconnected with what the dance of our life feels life if we stopped trying to control it and let our hair get messy and our bodies begin to move to the figuartive rhythm of our lives.

What happens when we step into this heart space and get out of our head?

How much more space is created by being more connected?

How much more love can we generate inside ourself and for others and how can one small thing like going inside and meeting our heart space lead to such epic space and soul connection.

Enjoy this chat and experiential podcast episode.

On Midlife and Stepping into Your Soul Self

As we naturally go through the growth and change that is necessary in mid life we can feel things come up like:

*Fear (of change, of growth, of death and rebirth)

*Wondering if we are “crazy” or just hormonal

*Have people say to us that we aren’t the person they thought we were.

We can get stuck in the idea of what everyone thinks of us

We can get stuck in the fear of change

We can get stuck in the flight and fight of our fast paced world and not allow ourselves to sink into and discover who we are becoming

This is where the idea of mid life crisis enters...we stay stuck.

What if:

Midlife is the BECOMING

Midlife is the Stepping DEEPER into connection with our soul self.

Then we experience it as an AWAKENING.

We may have to shed some old skin.

We need to get quiet and connect with the person we are, deep down and allow ourselves to be courageous enough to let this person be seen and heard.

This podcast talks about all this and more.

I also give you some “steps” to begin this exploration of steeping deeper into your soul self!

This podcast is about growth and presence.

How to get out of your head and actually embody presence.

The podcast weaves the story of my own experience with some deep and profound growth that occurred over the past week from an illness accompanied by a migraine.

My own experience with dropping into the deepest presence that I have so far experienced out side of the realm of birth and what I discovered, uncovered and seeded in this space and how this isn’t just my story but our story. This is not a story or a space that I found that is unique to me. It is available to all of us.

After the story I offer HOW TO DROP INTO DEEPER OR EMBODY PRESENCE!

Enjoy.

What I see happen in women is that we often end up in this box. We didn’t plan to be in this box and we don’t often even see that we are there, it just happens as life unfolds and we sort of “lose ourselves” in service of showing up for others and how we think we are suppose to be.

We end up living a life that feels, well… “FINE”.

We live a life that feels FULL as in BUSY or going through the motions but not SOUL FULL.

At some point along the way normally in the mid life part of life (40’s) we see that is no longer going to work for us and things begin to wake up inside. Normally it’s big emotions and possibly physical “female complaints’. We no longer fit in this box any more and our soul really begins to start stirring inside us, it isn’t always recognized as that though...it is often pushed off as a mid life crisis.

To me it is that mid life awakening that moment, that time period to really AWAKEN to your inner self, to align your life from the inside out.

Sometimes this process is messy. We often want something to jump to a new identity or version of us already there, a new job waiting, a new relationship that fits better and we don’t want to “do the work”, go through the break down to reclaim and rebuild.

This podcast talks about what this feels/looks like for us to step deeper into this journey of adventure!

What could it possibly feel like to have a deeper relationship with your body?

One where you aren't trying to control it but actually occupying it?

What if you let your body be your guide?

What does this actually mean to you?

What does being embodied actually feel like and how do you access it?

This podcast answers all these questions and more.

This podcast takes the listener on a tour of:

*How the heck we have become so disconnected from our bodies (ever wondered how you got from point a to b while driving or just felt on autopilot)

*How this creates a space within of disconnection & disease

*Some "how to's" that you can try today

It’s one thing to hear the term embodiment and get it with your head and quite another thing to actually be “embodied”!

A grounding, spacious and connecting meditation.

Is meditating “hard”, “foreign”, to woo woo or spiritual for you?

Is slowing down and turning in challenging?

Do you have judgements and/or ideas around what a guided meditation is?

I hear this often.

In fact I used to hear these judgemental thoughts it in my own head for many years.

Yet there has always been a big bright piece of me inside that has gravitated and sought out things and my innate curious and adventurous nature has pushed me to try them and

Sometimes we have to come apart to come back together.

This is the work of the 40's and early 50's

Speaking and living from your heart and soul is scary at first.  For the vast majority of us, it means that we have to let go of or let a part of us die.  We have to sift through and have a real awakening of what was us, what we picked up unconsciously were programmed with along the way and who we actually are at the soul level.  Then we have to be brave to step up into that space and actually live from there.

I see this happening all around me and frankly all inside of me.

I have resistance too.  

Will I be labeled/othered

Will I be liked

Will I be loved by my family of origin

Will I be understood

Will I be burned.

This week the stories that have weaved themselves through in my life have been all about this.  

This reckoning this longing for and connection to something deeper.

What does the longing feel like….like there is a part of you that you want to touch, that you want to give space to grow, that aches for attention and yet there is also a knowing somewhere deep inside you of what it will bring about.  The chaos and death so to speak that will ensue.

When we don’t entertain and listen to this longing we often get a crisis moment. 

This week’s podcast weaves the stories of women that I have come across as well as my own that are traversing this space and allowing this soul piece to grow inside.
