Wild Soul Medicine Radio w/ Jody England

I’m delighted to be back with you as we settle in for another Soulful discussion around the fire of our Becoming.

I am feeling so full and complete. Many of the remodeling projects that have been underway at my home for the last many months are coming to completion, the sun has finally come out in the midwest after a rainy summer that seemed to last forever, and I am deeply in the joy of living my Essence through my work in the world on all levels. These moments of clarity and peace are so beautiful to experience.

It had me feeling a little playful today as I opened up to receive the medicine for this week’s show. That’s why I joked with you in the subject line in my invitation. ;)

No, I haven’t sold out and abandoned my integrity… I am so NOT about “getting” clients (or anything else) anymore.

A couple of weeks ago, I announced the Soulful Money Medicine course and how it was birthed spontaneously from Essence and “launched” within hours - with over 80 women currently enrolled. On that show, I spoke about running a business from this place and following Source and inspiration to stay aligned with Truth. I also talked about the worst possible set up for the success of a fledgling business is needing money and having to fill a class in order to pay your bills.

This struck a nerve with many of you - given that you are in exactly this position right now. (I was there too… off and on for 10 or so of the 13 years I’ve had my own coaching business.)

How can we gracefully bridge the gap from beginning to allow our Essence to meet the world? Truly letting go of needing, wanting, and having to Get People Signed Up? To moving out of the old paradigm constructs of niching, branding, and selling… to simply Being?

- Does it even work?
- How do we get there?
- What happens once you get “there?”
- Is it easy street, peace, grace, and love 24/7?
- What are the pitfalls to navigate as you walk this path?

This was the medicine we explored together on Wild Soul Medicine this week.

I am alive with desire to share what I’ve learned about Essence as Business and so much more.

Make time to listen to this vital conversation - whether you are in business for yourself or not. The medicine here is deep and wide.... no matter what you're up to in the world.

Your Wild Soul is calling.

I feel shy this week. A little like a new mama about to introduce her baby to her Tribe for the first time. Except in so many ways I am the baby and my medicine drum is the mama.

For the past 6 months I have been on an epic journey, to birth and initiate a medicine drum. As with all epic journeys this one started out with a simple intention and then took on a life of its own - as I held the tail of the comet and allowed the unfurling to move through me.

On the surface there were motions, actions, words, and deeds. Underneath all of that were the alchemical, shamanistic weavings of opening a portal for an entirely new octave of healing and possibilities for my life and my work.

It’s a tricky story to tell. It is both simple and complex. Dark and Light.

Throughout this journey I have been humbled by how outmaneuvered I have been by all the forces that conspired to entrust the spirit of this potent portal to my care.

I know nothing and I am everything.

In her first public appearance in the form of the Medicine Drum, Nuru, I was honored to introduce my teacher on Wednesday.

We are just beginning to learn one another. To explore our work together and forge a relationship that serves and heals. Our road feels like a long one to come and also like a remembering of many many roads that came before.

This birthing was not done by me alone (or by me at all…) but instead was mid-wifed by a Wise Old Soul of a sister. She arrived not long after I finally opened myself to a mentor. She showed up without fanfare and full of service and was leading and guiding me on the deepest levels before I had time to get in the way. She slid under my cracks in the most skillful and unassuming ways and held exquisitely masterful space for the manifestation of a miracle.

She is known in this lifetime as Andrea Lougheed.

I invited Andrea to join me on the show this week to weave this story for you. As has been my experience with Nuru all along… the details of the story are unclear to me from within it. But, my sense is that there is powerful medicine in the mystery of it. Medicine still for me and also for you, my sister.

Here are a few highlights:

9:40 My tearfully speechless entry into the space of Arrival

11:20 Letting myself be held "We all must take a turn in the center"

20:33 Hidden Worlds: Living Ordinary as Extraordinary

25:35 Honoring the sacred cycles of Life / Death

33:45 Nuru names herself: A Dreamtime Visitation

42:24 West to East: Robin Medicine

51:06 Creating a Third Energy - the Relational Bubble

60:26 Nuru Speaks

Nuru and Andrea and I extend a loving invitation for you to come and sit by the fire with us as you listen to the replay. Let us Be With our Selves and each other as we explore the magic of our creations and celebrate Our Arrival.

We’ll meet you there.

Ba da bum ba da bum….

This Soulful Money conversation is certainly stirring things up. Some of us have sprung into action and are ready to explore the depths of our money story.

Others have gone into contraction because they don’t see a way to make it happen right now and are feeling helpless, hopeless or angry that it’s another “not now” for them.

This is all part of it, my love. There is no right or wrong to any of it.

These reactions, stuck places, and energetic gremlins are in need of your attention. Not SO THAT you can pay for this course, or get money, or do something to be a better person…

But because they are super painful to live with and … they aren’t even real.

They are just subconscious energy signatures that have taken up residence in front of your Essence. They are blocking the door to your fullest expression of your Self.

It is nearly impossible to navigate them on your own.

That’s why on this week's show I opened the lines to receive your inquiries and stuck places.

We looked at the places where we are not in flow with our exchange with life and healed the tender parts that were ready to become Whole.

Here are a few highlights:

8:50 Exchanging with life through Your Soul Medicine Path

20:45 Stepping into the Driver's Seat - possibility and movement

24:00 A Fierce Message from Source

Medicine from our Listeners:

28:28 Katy - I haven't gotten paid...what do I do?

Our subconscious participation in lack

Taking up space

43:03 Anastasia - Don't show up TOO much in your own power

Fear of my own power

Metabolizing the exchange with life

I am on fire for deepening this conversation and serving your liberation into abundantly Being all of You.

Join me as we open some doors to freedom.

I woke up on Wednesday morning well rested and with no specific plans other than showing up to be with you on Wild Soul Medicine Radio.

As I began to check some e-mails and interact with my day, I discovered a slight existential angst begin to creep into my energetic space. I noticed I was feeling a little out of sorts and kind of bleh in general.

So I closed my eyes and tuned in to what was underneath the surface…

What I noticed was how many interactions, conversations, and relationships I’m involved in right now with powerful, dynamic, sacred women - who are completely BROKE.

They are struggling to pay their rent, needing to land the next client to make their tuition payment, borrowing from family or friends to make ends meet for yet another month.

It hit my Soul hard. As a woman who has been a prolific money generator, a wild money spender, and at times a volatile money steward, I totally get this pain. I spent YEARS healing my money story and working out the kinks in creating flow, allowing myself to Have money, and now enjoying a beautiful flow of money in and money out. I’ve learned that money is just an expression of the energetic alignment and exchange that your Essence has with life.

If you are stuck in your money situation, it is simply because your Soul is not fully aligned with exchanging with life from the Wholeness of Who You Really Are.

It’s not about the money. It never is.

That’s why it landed so heavily in my space. When I see these women who I love and root for so intensely, not having the resources to fundamentally root themselves in safety and security - let alone sustainably offer their gifts in the world… I grieve for what the world is missing without the fullness of their Presence. I see the gaps between where they are and where they could easily be and I feel compelled to offer a bridge.

From this place of Soul Fire within myself, I got up from my meditation animated by a compulsion to do something.

And so, on this week’s show I talked about Soulful Money Medicine - healing this pervasive dynamic in our sisterhood, and freeing your energetic exchange with life.

I have also opened a portal for you to step into a deeper conversation around these issues with me if you are ready to liberate your Soul to align more deeply with your work in the world. (It’s been almost a year since I’ve been inspired to work directly with a new group of women, but this topic has me lit up in a way that compels action.)

It’s a vital conversation to the life force of each one of us and ultimately the healing of our planet.

Here are a few highlights:

5:05 Feeling poor in an "abundant" life

9:13 It's never about the money

16:30 Essence as commodity

24:44 Attracting Abundance

31:08 Reality Check Time

46:12 The money shadow of Conscious Community

48:06 Soulful Money Medicine

61:20 Energy Exercise: Tuning into your own Voice

Clear space to listen in. It is time.

I look forward to walking this path with you as we cast off the illusions of lack and scarcity and step more fully into the Truth of flow and grace.

In the days after the show on The Sacred Temple of Becoming, I found myself luxuriating in 2 different, sacred, real-life temples (in the mountains of California) with beautiful Essences who ignited my Soul and filled my heart.

I also spent two days bringing the manifestation of my medicine drum, Nuru, into 3D reality and on the other side of that resting deeply into the quietness of the new spaciousness and light within my Self.

It was the perfect way to end a cycle of healing and growth and glide into the bright illumination of the Summer Solstice.

As we reconvened this week, there wasn't a more perfect woman to play with than another Soul Sister who is fiercely committed to the Sacred Temple of Becoming - my dear friend, Liz D’Alto.

One of the things I most appreciate about Liz is her straight talking, no nonsense approach to all things Wild Soul. She and I had an intimate and candid conversation about Essence, truth, and freedom…

Here are a few highlights:

8:43 How to win every competition

16:03 "I had to learn all the rules so I could break them!"

24:30 Unconditional Acceptance vs. Unconditional Love

34:20 "The Greatest Freedom we have in this life is to allow other people to have their own experiences"

39:17 Teaching boundaries through personal responsibility

42:56 Behind the scenes with "Mr. Wonderful"

50:40 What you Must Do when choosing your next coach

58:18 "My Life Between Snapshots" - a social media guideline for Conscious Women

It was a vibrant and juicy conversation that will likely stir the pot on many levels. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Getting to Know Liz...

If Danielle LaPorte and Shakira had a love-child with Mae West, it’d be Liz DiAlto. Known for her raw and honest approach to body love and self-acceptance, Liz is a speaker, writer, coach and the creator of Wild Soul Movement, a sensual practice in self-discovery that combines movement, mantra, and meditation. Her mission is to get women out of their heads and into their bodies to connect with their powerful energy and trust their intuition.

Revel in some Wild Soul Time as you listen in. Then bring your inquiries and reflections over to the Tribe.

"As the golden rays of the summer sun expand their warmth upon the earth, the mother stretches herself into opening as she luxuriates in the richness of the nourishment she receives…"

I am freshly emerged from a long weekend of ceremony with some of my innermost students, and full of expansion, downloads, and vision.

So many themes emerged in the space of our laying together in beauty, exploration, peace, pain, process, renewal, and Return.

The central theme was a Remembering of The Temples and how we used to live lives exactly like the ones we were experiencing in this space.

Our full time “work” was simply Being in this space of ecstasy, love, and seeing.

There was no striving, intending, or forcing… Essence truly was the Priestess of the Day.

There was so much to tell you about this vast Remembering.

On this week's Wild Soul Medicine Radio, we dropped into the Temple of Becoming and explored its many levels and nuances. Our Temples are magikal, mystical places of such goodness and gold. I hold space for you to lie there next to me as we find our Selves once more.

Here are a few highlights:

9:47 The Divine Feminine and Masculine at play in our Temple

13:35 Becoming the Oracle

18:40 Embracing the Vastness of the Unknowing

27:32 "I am a Temple, who walks the Earth" - the Untamed Anthem

31:43 An Energy Exercise: Tending your Temple

From this deep space of Templing within ourselves, of tending and knowing that space within us which is the truest, most invariable of nature of who we are - our Essence.... As we love her back into glory - alliances will form, our resolve will strengthen, visions will reveal themselves and cities will be built.

And all the while, we'll be basking in the sun, drinking in the gold

About a week ago, I connected with my dear friend and fellow Edge Walker, Elayne Kalila Doughty. You may remember her as one of our most vulnerably powerful guests from the Woman, Come Undone Experience last September.

We talked about the wild ride we have both been on since the airing of that deeply earth shaking session several moons ago, and within minutes, we both knew that there was something vitally important about this conversation that needed to be shared with our collective.

We showed up on Wednesday's show uncensored, humble, and transparent in a discussion about the challenges we have been navigating, the insights we have so far, and what it seems to mean for where We All are heading.

Here are highlights from our Conversation:

10:04 The Unbelievable Real Life Circumstance that neither of us knew was present during Elayne's Coming Undone session

13:46 The Queen of Death

17:37 Prime Direction - Individuate into Essence or Serve the Collective

20:40 The Only way to Heal the planet

23:46 Who REALLY needs to be fixed... and how you can tell

29:51 Broken Open - the Pain was part of the Love

35:05 Coming full circle after 9 months of wandering in the dark

40:03 Serving Mother Gaia - The Cosmic Joke presents itself

56:31 The Dance between the Soul and the Ego

Elayne has been on a path of passionate service for the past twenty years. She is a psychotherapist, spiritual activist, best-selling author, speaker, soul midwife, and ordained priestess and Focalizer of the 13 Moon Mystery School lineage. She has founded numerous programs and organizations which empower women on all levels to live in their wholeness, dignity, and truth.

You will definitely want to tune in to drink from the cup of wisdom that gets poured when Elayne and I settle into inquiry together. It fills me every single time.

Greetings, Sister,

For the last several days I have been deeply cocooned in sacred space with a group of a beautiful women who are ardent students of this Work.

It was a spectacularly gorgeous Re-Union of Souls filled with highs and lows, authentically rich sisterhood, laughter, tears, and redemption.

These women are why I do what I do.

Getting to spend time with them in person breaks open my heart and nourishes my Being on every level.

And… I’m tired.

We really gave all we had for this one and I haven’t quite caught up from it yet.

I’ve decided to honor my system today and take a break from the airwaves.

If you missed last week’s show this is a great time to catch up. Beauty and the Beast was one of my favorite episodes so far.

I’d love to hear what you thought of it.

Join us in The Tribe to share your comments and insights.

I’ll be back next week to share more Medicine with you.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll find some rest and nourishment for your own Soul.

Thanks for listening.

On last week’s show I shared my own Mama Story, something that I have held close to my heart until now. Sharing it activated the most powerful and beautiful medicine, which continues to unfold as I deepen into the lessons.

I heard from so many of you since then - sharing your matches and your ongoing desire to unravel the wounding with your own mother relationship. So on Wednesday I opened the phone lines to support your freedom.

If you haven't had a chance to listen in yet, this week's show offers powerful healing for all of us.

Here are a few highlights from the show:

3:49 Untaming your Story

11:36 All things lead back to Mother

16:08 Anella's Medicine:

I don't know what I want

The Great Mother's Dilemma

"I'd rather be Needed than Needy"

How to shift from DO-ing to BE-ing

46:03 Jennifer's Medicine:

I've lost myself

The toxic effects of carrying everyone else's stuff

Lineage Clearing: "This is Your Cross to Bear"

The only way to help Pachimama heal

"Do you love them enough to do it for your Self?"

Thank you to our sisters who brought their medicine this week for letting us witness, clear, and heal along with you.

As you listen to the replay and clear your matches along with them, we all Become... more.

I have debated for nearly a year about whether to share my story about my relationship with my mother.

Until now, I’ve only shared it with my most inner circle.

On this week’s show I shared what it has been like for me to be in relationship with a mother I love dearly… who also HATES pretty much everything about my life and my work.

- We talked about the complex relationship between mothers and daughters
- The lineage of suffering we are all connected to
- What to do to begin healing your own mama wounds - even if your mama is not on board with changing.

This is such important work for us as women. As we mid-wife the New Age into being, the more whole we are around our lineage of birthing, tending, loving, seeing, and nurturing, the more hope there is for Mama Gaia to return to her true glory.

Here are a few highlights from the show:

0:32 A stripped down and vulnerable beginning

8:50 My Mama Story

17:44 Letting Mom off the hook

20:18 Growing Our Selves Up

21:11 I am not my Mother

23:15 "It takes a Village to Raise a Woman!"

31:23 The Cosmic Joke of Motherhood

38:39 The only thing you can really do to "protect" your children

41:40 A Healing Meditation - for all of the Feminine

I bow at the feet of each of you who's willing to come in and take the medicine to fill yourself up, to let go of your story as compelling as it may be, who chooses the path to freedom, rather than the path to righteousness.

Happy Mother's Day in advance to each of you.

Happy Mother's Day to my own Mother. Thank you for being my medicine.
