Who’s an unchainer anyway? It’s anyone who has internal chains to break of course! An old self to integrate and overcome limitations of, trauma to heal, conditioning to break free from. But can she/ he do it alone? 

As I announce the birth of the Unchainers community on Mighty Networks, I dive deep into just why it is powerfully crucial for us to do the work of unchaining ourselves TOGETHER as a community, away from the distractions of social media.

My husband is in the hot seat in this season-opening episode.  As we observe international Women's Day, we talk openly about how we experienced our genders growing up in a highly sexist, cultural and religious environments in Ethiopia. We share what factors helped shape how we came to view femininity and masculinity after living as first generation immigrants in different parts of the world.  How discovering our hidden natures for ourselves, finding a spiritual connection with each other from a new place of defining our identities and raising second generation girls and boys in western cultures all challenge us and reward us all at the same time.

Have you ever stared at your reflection in the mirror and asked
 “what is wrong with me?” or  “why am I the way I am?” 

I have. Countless times! Accompanied by tears and growing hopeless by the episode.

We all face some kind of inner blocks, self judgement and our own thoughts and emotions holding us back  from living the life we feel and desire to live. Some of us more than others. The key is, are we really asking the question “why am I the way I am?” Or passing it as self judgement? 

What if we asked “what happened to me?” Instead of “what’s wrong with me?” 

Find out in this podcast how to deal with your inner critic and internal blocks that keep you from showing up the way you want to in life. 

Thank me later.

Why ignore it? Conflicts happen! Especially when you have your values, expectations, fears, desires and heart at the center of a relationship. We all go though it, we all fight.

When was the last time you did a values check? Do your values stand the test of your self awareness and authenticity? Or maybe you’ve never really taken the time and conscious attention to explore what your values are. All you know is that there are feelings of misalignment , confusion, debilitating yearning for something you’re not sure of, a pull away from something or someone. You know you’re being spoken to. 

You need a values tune-up. 

 This episode is for you.

I’m back from a few months of selfless sacrifice in service of 11 humans who inhabited our home for the summer. Selfless, or so I thought. 

Until I got exhausted, drained and started resenting it all. 

Naturally, I’ve chosen to talk about selfishness for the first episode of the 3rd season of Unchiningme Podcast. 

Why oh why do we worship selflessness? Is it really benefiting those we say we love? At what cost?

Listen in and begin your own selfishness revolution!
