Woman Awake - The Soul-led Journey of Awakening

When it comes to raising children and being a caretaker for two divine little humans, there is one thing in particular that I believe we must be so mindful of.

It is something that can result in a lifetime of deep scarring.

I'm speaking about SHAME (without judgement or blame) and how we, as parents, unintentionally and often automatically shame our children.

Why does this matter so much? I've spent the better part of the last 12 years mentoring and coaching women, and a common and unfortunate thread is the SHAME they carry.

Shame that first began at the hands of their parents and caretakers.

Shame that is not and never was innate or part of their natural way of thinking and being.

Brene Brown said, "I define shame as the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging—something we've experienced, done, or failed to do makes us unworthy of connection. I don't believe shame is helpful or productive."

"Shame is the fear of being unworthy of love, connection and belonging, and the absence of love and connection and belonging as a human being, and there's always suffering."

When your child does something wrong, such as spilling milk by accident, there is something that happens when we address the behaviour versus addressing the child.

In this episode, I address how we unintentionally shame our children and why. I also explore how we can rewire and reprogramme how we communicate with our children and use moments for learning and building resilience rather than shame.

As previously mentioned, I have coached 100s of women who, at the core of their emotional blocks and wounds, is SHAME. They are ashamed to stand in their truth, to use their voice, to go after their dreams, and to feel worthy enough of love.

The list of ways that shaming our children affects their future selves is long and painful.

Shame is not love. Shame is when we lead with fear and frustration, and resentment. Shame is self-centred, so if your goal is to lead, guide and teach your children with love, this podcast is for you!

A child's learning capacity is best supported through love, not shame and judgement. We want our children to grow into responsible, capable, focused, motivated, disciplined, joyful, willing, and eager adults with a zest and passion for life - including its challenges.


We want to raise our children with a GROWTH mentality, who aren't afraid to do the work, who aren't afraid of mistakes and problems and who are equipped with resilience, empathy and gratitude.

Tune in to today's episode as I dive more into Parenting without Shame.

It's time to step into the Field of Practice. As a core value and as a way to return to wholeness. Embracing the journey of healing as a daily, subtle awakening through practice.

It is in our practice as a community, as an individual that are able to place our old stories, beliefs and wounds on the altar of the divine and allow it to finally decay and dissolve.

I am always so blown away by the willingness of my community to practice - to show up in body and breath and soul to welcome healing and embrace their wholeness. And to see how this ripples out from their womb to the collective womb.

I share a poem from a favourite book - Womb Awakening by Azra and Seren Bertrand. This poem, for me, at the core is about individual and collective practice. That willingness to be in the field of change and transformation by fully embracing the work, daily. Moment to moment.

“We are weaving a new way,

Stitching revolutions together,

Spinning new worlds from our wombs,

Dreaming back the wild edges of our souls,

Calling forth that which has been lost.

We are women of the womb,

Maddened by love into action,

We are men of the heart,

Softened into surrender,

Afraid only of not feeling.

We are thinking in a way,

Your thread holds mine together:

We are tale-weavers and troubadours,

Telling the words that were broken,

Singing the songs of longing.

We are weaving a new way,

Gathering the thread of pain,

Spinning it back into gold…”

And why? Why do we need to enter the field of practice? We need to upgrade.

That’s the truth of it. This new world that is currently unfolding before our eyes and we are all being asked to upgrade in mind-body-soul. In subtle and obvious ways. There are so many ways to do this, so many ways to upgrade and to recalibrate.

And it most definitely begins with what we consume - what we eat, drink, what we watch and read and even who we engage with.

But that consumption also comes down to what we are taking IN energetically. Some of what we take in is conscious and alot is not - and most we have no control over; generational patterns, familia stories, sub conscious beliefs and wounds we store.

And whilst I am a HUGE advocate for shadow work and deep inner, spiritual healing, I also have come to realise that if we focus on upgraded VIA the lens of “I am wounded and I need help” we often end up in a spiralling loop to nowhere.

I like to think of healing in the same way as understanding what a Mystic truly is.

Mystic is a person who remembers that he/she is whole.

In that remembering everything not needed slips away.

And this is where WOMB work comes in.

The womb is a portal of creation and our connection to the Divine Feminine Wisdom (Shekhinah, Sophia, The Divine Mother)

We hold a frequency in our womb and it is this frequency that we create with.

And yet, the womb is a porous sponge. So much of what we carry that is not ours, is in shadow and is not for our highest good can be held in the womb.

Without “need” and force (no guns blazing here), it’s important to recognise all that the womb carries and that cleansing, purification and elevation can be a HUGE and profound shift in how and what we create.

It is from this higher and healed frequency within the womb that we can manifest and heal the physical world. YOUR physical reality.

So in RAISING the frequency of the womb we allow what we may be holding on to fall away, as opposed to focusing on the shadow and desperately trying to heal our wounds which can often lead us feeling degraded, instead of upgraded.

…

WOMB WISDOM - it is being resurrected for a reason.

The Divine Feminine is asking us all to upgrade and it is done through the power of our WOMBS. A collective upgrade, a collective healing that first begins with you.

Tune in to today's episode as I dive more into the field of practice, womb wisdom, collective healing and the Magdalene frequency.

Episode 128:

Today I dive into a much needed reminder on anxiety, future tripping, the worries we get lost in and the stories we create.

I share a personal story and experience with my daughter in supporting her anxiety and worries. A story I feel we can all take wisdom and gold from both as parents, caregivers, friends, family members, space holders and beyond. But also and most importantly for ourselves.

I also share:

Releasing our attachment to control and to the future image that we are painting in our mind

Opening up to the possibility that it could be better than expected

Feeling into the anxiety that we are the makers of and questioning its origins and the stories behind it all.

Getting curious, seeing our anxiety for what it truly is (a protector) and choosing a higher-mind approach.

Thank you for listening.

Over the last 2-3 years I've been on a big journey of healing, clearing and releasing many old stories, wound, contracts and beliefs from both this lifetime, family lineage and past lives.

In this episode I share the gifts and experiences that have slowly awakened within me and invite you into the journey of embodying these gifts.

I also share an experience from The Magdalene Frequency event where I did something for the first time - something that felt wobbly, imperfect and yet a necessary experience for my soul's expression and voice.

I offer an invitation to awaken to gifts that are currently dormant within you and embrace the process of embodying it through practice and imperfection.

Thank you for listening.

In today's episode I talk to Tilly Storm.

Tilly is the host of The Multiorgasmic Mama podcast and has been recognised as one of the top 20 sex coaches in the world by The Coach Foundation. Her podcast has reached over 230,000 listeners.

Tilly’s mission in life is to help women transform their relationship with their body and sexuality so they can experience epic sex, pleasure and intimacy with their partner. She spends her time helping mums experience epic sex and pleasure in the bedroom and beyond.

Together we explore:

*What Tilly commonly finds/common issues with mamas regarding their pleasure/sexuality/sensuality and intimacy.

*Some of the main reasons mamas lose their sex drive, disconnect from pleasure or feel blocked around sensuality.

*How mums can ensure they don't pass down people-pleasing and over-giving tendencies to their daughters.

*Why getting in touch with your erotic nature (even as a mum) can ensure a pleasure-positive upbringing for your children.

*How to transform your relationship with your body and sexuality after motherhood.

*How to ignite desire and passion in your long-term relationship.

*2-3 practical how-to's to prioritise pleasure even in the often challenging phase of motherhood so mamas don't pass down the same negative programming they received.

Thank you for listening.

In today's episode, I talk about the Magdalene Frequency Retreat I will be holding on September 3rd 2022.

I also share with you words that have been flowing from my heart.

These words are a reflection of the sacred service that I feel called to do that directly connects with teaching and guiding and holding space and amplifying the divine feminine presence.

I have 8 tickets left to the Magdalene Frequency, and after receiving a direct transmission from Shekinah (the Divine Feminine Presence), I am offering an additional and important gift to each guest who attends.

"A Living Invitation…"

I invite you into the folds of my heart

And the resonance of my soul.

Like a gong that reverberates and ripples out

Sending a signal to the ready ones..

SHE invited me in to the folds of her ROSE-heart

So I could touch the petals

See the pulsing light within

Taste the vibration of her soul

Know the frequency of the mother-father

A subtle caress

Only feelings.

No words.

The divine sent a signal out to me.

A code I cannot decipher but only live.

Ready before I knew it.

Called to ready…

A living invitation beckoned me

and with the flame growing in my womb

I become the living invitation too

And so do you

The light, it passes on

Will you let me show you?

Will you let me move and breathe and flow with HER

So you can flow with HER too?

Embodying and Spiralling the ancient ways

I ponder

To live this way,

what does that mean?


To invite you in as I live this way,

what does that mean?

The words don’t come

And yet the frequency I feel

From my womb to my heart I come whole again

A remembering

An embodiment

A living invitation

“Guided”

A balmy haze gathers

as we rest upon the shore

Of infinite potentiality…

I hope you’ll hold my hand

And yet I already know

like I know spring follows winter

that I must gaze through the fog;

Seek my way through.

My oars of effort slice through the silvery mirrored lake of my

inner earth

Reflections ripple, threading ghostly stories that fade away.

Trusting that I will be guided,

Heart flashing a thousand hues

like a technicolour lighthouse…

I arrive upon the shore of my wholeness …

I’ll find you there, already there.

Waiting patiently.

And in your eyes

not a faithless moment to be found.

The Magdalene Frequency is a truly powerful experience working with potent frequencies.

It is a FULL DAY IN PERSON Retreat of Ancient Wisdom Technologies, Womb Work, Energetic Exploration, Light Language, Nature attunement, Rose Rituals and so much more.

In today’s episode, I explore how we call in our like-minded soul sisters and surround ourselves with people who love us as we are and as we grow.

Since moving to the central coast almost two years ago, I have cultivated a handful of luscious, beautiful, meaningful relationships with women that satisfy parts of me that haven’t been met before. These are the parts of me that want to be in deep reverence with life and to be in ceremony always, even if it’s just watching my children play.

It had me thinking about how we come together with our friends and how we create and cultivate these connections because these friends see you as you are, and they love you and honour, admire and participate in what you have to offer now. Yet, at the same time, they offer their love for what you are stretching into and what you are becoming.

It’s essential to surround ourselves with people that accept, hold space for us and love us as we are but support us on our journey as we stretch into BECOMING who we are meant to be.

Thank you for being here and listening.

In today's episode, we explore Intuitive Hypnotherapy with Rachel Crethar.

Rachel truly believes that if we can understand ourselves at a deep level, if we can peel back those layers of conditioning, and get rid of old, outdated beliefs that are holding us back, then we can move forward and have a richer experience of life. Rachel explains that RTT helps us genuinely move forward beyond the past to feel lighter, more aligned and more true to ourselves than ever before.

The questions I explored with Rachel Crethar were -

• What is intuitive hypnotherapy and RTT and how does it work?

• How did you find yourself in this work?

• The difference between regression and future-self visioning work

• Some of the biggest blocks and stories/beliefs you see time and time again - e.g Self Doubt, Fear of Being Seen (all of which I've had to tackle at some point!)

About Rachel:

Inspired by her love of healing and fascination with how the subconscious can create our reality, Rachel completed her studies to become a clinical hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational (RTT) Therapist. After personally suffering from anxiety, low self-esteem and post-natal depression in the past, Rachel's empathy and passion for understanding the human mind, and why we do the things we do, is innate.

Rachel now works with clients all over the world, helping them overcome all kinds of problems including anxiety, emotional eating disorders, removing money blocks, relationship issues and even helping them fall pregnant naturally after years of trying.

Listen to Episode 122

In today’s episode we explore seasons and cycles of birth, growth, decay, death, rebirth.

As I record this episode, I am three days out from what was one of the most profound and life-changing experiences. A journey with Plant Medicine. And truthfully, I have had many life-changing experiences. I'm not yet sure WHAT has changed (I know what unfolded during the journey and that might be for another podcast episode - if I feel called to share it, or there is enough interest from you lovely humans). What I do know, well I can feel is that there is an internal shift.

As I was driving home I was marvelling at what has unfolded this year in 2022. For me personally and many beautiful ones I know - from clients, close friends and family.

I turned 40. Held a sacred sound ceremony for myself and a few friends. Took myself off on a retreat. I've launched many programs. Spiralled deeper into my Priestess Training and Womb Yoga Training. I've begun Kundalini Activation training and receiving many transmissions and light language activations. I've experienced my first ice bath and now my first spiral with Plant Medicine (with more to come definitely).

It's not over yet. And I know there is more coming.

The last couple of years - I'd say from 2019 to now have been a huge journey of remembering Ancient Wisdom, downloading data, accumulating knowledge, embodying new gifts and accessing old ones, and holding myself as I spiral and journey.

It got me thinking about seasons.

I remember a time, not that long ago when I was so far from this season of growth - let me diverge for a second to clarify; this season for me is not just about that Vertical, upward trajectory of growth. It's also a season of integration. Of remembering too. Activations and refinement toggling back and forth. Listening deeply, contemplating. LIVING in the real world and riding the waves of motherhood. Gentle transitions and preparations for bigger ones. A sense of death coming shortly, which only means rebirth.

Here's what I want to chew on.

What season are you in?

What seasons are you addicted too?

What seasons do you resist/avoid?

Are you OK with the slower seasons?

And are you ready to allow the vertical growth and expansive seasons to take centre stage when you feel the call?

I ask this, because from the outside in it might look like I'm addicted to the growth cycle. But I'm not. I honour what comes knocking at the door, tapping at my shoulder, pushing me across the line. And it's also important that sometimes seasons stretch out for long periods of time... months and months of transition. Or even months of death and decay and stripping away. And sometimes, you can cycle through the natural decay-death-rebirth-growth cycle in a matter of days or weeks. This seems to be the case for me at the moment. And I'm riding it - tenderly, passionately, willingness... there is no burn out. There is no ego driving this (other than my ego in service to my Sacred Soul)

And I have a strong sense there will be a going to ground at some point when another person/experience/situation calls me attention and energy in a different way. A slowing down to allow for deeper rooting in an integration. To get horizontal and hang on this earthly plane as a season of its own.

Stay tuned for (I am) The Remedy - final round in 2022

In today’s episode I share The Wisdom of The Womb Space

3-4 years ago my journey through somatic and embodiment work, which dove deep into body-focused trauma awareness led me, finally, to my womb space.

It was not a place I expected to land. Then again, nothing every is.

I was not exactly disconnected from my womb - I had a decent relationship with her as the portal that my babies came through. However after the emergency C-section with my son I became aware of healing that was needed. Not just physically but energetically. 

Let me also splice in here that from the moment I first fell pregnant way back in 2014 I felt a huge shift. The rite of passage that is pregnancy and beyond changed my in so many ways. I no longer wanted to move and be in my body in a masculine way.

I started incorporating spirals, feminine flow and womb centred movement all quite intuitively.

And yet I felt mostly unseen and upheld in the yogic world. There wasn’t really a practice out there that held my now changed physical form and now changed spiritual self who required a practice filled with wisdom and respect and reverence for the feminine experience.

So when it came time to reconnect with my womb after the birth with my second child there was alot of healing to happen. It was never forced or hurried but it naturally led me along a pathway towards Mary Magdalene and towards Womb Wisdom.

What was here for me I could never have scripted.

Not only did my relationship with The Divine Mother, Mary Magdalene and The Feminine become A sacred red thread that wove into my mind-body-soul. Into ALL of me and ALL of my life… I came to understand The Womb as the Sacred Portal it truly is.

I want to share some of my deeper understandings here and before I go on I must give credit to my teachers. To The Divine Mother, TO Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary. To Ana Otero and the lineage of teachers I’ve had the blessing of learning from.

The WOMB is the portal for all life. There is not one human being on this planet that hasn’t come from a womb. Irrespective of their identify, their gender, their belief systems, their desires.

We are all born from a womb.

Tune in so we can deeper here, together.
