On this episode, I sit down with Jordyn Marsh.

Jordyn is a passionate advocate for those working to end sexual violence in all forms. A vibrant voice, Jordyn has been instrumental in helping college campuses and communities open up the dialogue concerning a culture built around sexual violence and rape.

The work that Jordyn has engaged with revolves around facilitating and leading local peer support and advocacy groups. By also sharing her own story of survival, she is able to harness bits of her struggle, exchanging pain for healing. Within that instrumental work, Jordyn has inspired others by playing a vital role in community events, like photo campaigns and mid-scale awareness events such as Take Back the Night, empowering 5K walk-runs, as well as other grass-roots advocacy work throughout the Northern Michigan community.

Within a period lasting less than five years, Jordyn has not only gained attention locally but nationally as well. She would be the first to admit that she never dreamed her work could have such a force in a community; what began with an inner courage and strength has grown into a voice all its own.

Today we are going to break down past life healing, reiki, and tarot with Sheila Masterson of www.starsagespirit.com

Sheila is a Reiki Master Teacher, Past-Life Healer, Tarot Reader, Yoga Teacher, and Intuitive Coach. She helps clients explore and connect to their intuition and fully commit to self-care by helping clients reestablish their own personal sense of agency.  She works with clients who are in transition to bring them back to balance, clarify their purpose, and energizing them with the best way to move toward their goals.   She sees clients online for distance Reiki sessions, tarot readings and parties, past life healing, and private digital yoga sessions.  You can also find her teaching online courses on tarot, embodiment, and intuition.

Sheila has worked with a lot of clients who have been through trauma including violence. Months after my sexual assault, seeing a Reiki Healer was an incredibly powerful step in my journey that helped me feel safe again.

Breaking down the strategies that work for coping with fear, stress, anxiety, flashbacks and triggers.

Flashbacks are very common after trauma. It can feel like it is controlling you. Learn techniques that break the fear and anxiety cycle. 

I don't know about you but I am tired of being told to "take deep breaths" and it will magically fix my triggers and anxiety.

I want to cut to the chase and give you real techniques that I hacked to go from flashbacks daily to less than three a year.

Diving deep into finding the right therapist for you. After going through 10 therapists in four years since my sexual assault, I've done the dirty work for you: how to spot red flags quickly and find the therapy that fits your personality.
