Woman Embodied with Connie Chapman

Self-abandonment is one of the most subtle and insidious ways women disconnect from themselves, lose touch with their needs, give up on their desires, and become invisible inside their own lives.

This pattern plays out so subconsciously that many women don't even realise they're doing it.

In this episode, I unpack what self-abandonment actually is, where this pattern comes from, and the signs it may be showing up in your relationships, motherhood, work and within yourself.

I share 6 practical steps to help you shift out of self-abandonment, reclaim your power and step into deeper levels of self-devotion, self-trust and self-worth.

In this episode, I cover:
🌹 What self-abandonment actually is and how to spot it, even when it plays out subconsciously
🌹 Why being easygoing, agreeable and accommodating can be a mask for self-abandonment
🌹 The root cause of self-abandonment and how our childhood experiences shape our relationship with our own needs and worthiness.
🌹 The core inner beliefs driving your tendency to self-abandon
🌹 How our childhood wounding shapes our relationship to our own needs
🌹 The key indicators you are abandoning your needs, desires and inner truth in your relationships
🌹 Signs you're falling into self-sacrifice in motherhood
🌹 How self-abandonment shows up in your work, career or business
🌹 The key ways you override and abandon yourself internally
🌹 6 steps to heal and transform the pattern of self-abandonment so you can shift into deeper self-devotion
🌹 How to repattern the beliefs and wounds of your inner child
🌹 How getting into your body will bring you back to yourself
🌹 The importance of devoting to yourself, your needs and your desires
🌹 What to do if you feel like you don't know what you actually want
🌹 What it looks like to start putting yourself first
🌹 Why you need to face your fear of conflict and be willing to disappoint people

The reason why so many women these days continually feel burned out is not that they are doing too much or that they are too busy.

It is because they are using their energy incorrectly.

Applying this principle will take you from feeling burned out, maxed out and endlessly busy to relaxed, intentional, clear and deeply magnetic.

• The real cause of burnout (and it's not 'doing too much') 
• The ONE principle that took me from burnout to magnetism 
• The importance of becoming intentional about how you use your energy 
• How to clean up the energetic leaks that are draining you 
• The wounded feminine and wounded masculine patterns that are burning you out 
• Why discernment has been the biggest key to my business success 
• How simplifying my business amplified my income 
• How to deeply refine the way you use and invest your energy 
• How to embody mature feminine energy and why this makes you magnetic
• The four key principles of practising discernment 
• The importance of valuing, cherishing and protecting your energy 
• Why you must trust your intuition about what you need to let go of 
• How to set solid internal and external boundaries

When we move through hard seasons of life that feel stressful and challenging, our bodies can tend to harden, brace and contract under the weight of it all.

We disconnect from our feminine energy and step into our masculine energy as a way to cope, which leaves us stuck in our head, abandoning our needs and controlling everything to feel safe.

It is possible to navigate hard times while still feeling soft, feminine, regulated, and nourished.

This episode shares 6 powerful principles that you can begin to apply right away to begin to soften inside yourself, no matter how hard life feels.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why women cope with stress by hardening, tensing and bracing in their bodies 
• How holding a lot in life pulls you into your masculine energy and out of your softness 
• Key ways that you can stay connected to your feminine energy when life feels hard 
• Why you don't have to wait for things to change in order to feel better 
• How to shift from a state of resistance to acceptance How to stay open even when you want to close 
• Key indicators that you are abandoning yourself and your needs 
• How to create nourishing daily rituals that fill you up 
• Why reminding yourself that 'this will pass' can bring you so much peace 
• Why unfelt emotional energy creates tension in your body 
• How feeling and processing your emotions will soften you 
• How to regulate your nervous system out of fight, flight, freeze and fawn 
• The importance of creating inner safety so you can come back to your feminine energy

The feminine is not here to be demure, sweet, submissive or toned down; she is here to be fully expressed in the full range of who she is.

A fully expressed woman owns all of who she is. She dances between her light and dark energies, speaks her truth and allows ALL parts of her to be embodied, expressed and witnessed.

In this episode, you will learn the key patterns and fears blocking your expression, how to embody your light and dark feminine energies and your authentic self, and how to become fully self-expressed in all of who you are so you can feel free, liberated and unapologetically yourself.

In this episode, I cover:

• The 3 keys to being a fully expressed feminine woman
• The core reasons that women are not fully expressing themselves
• Breaking out of being the palatable, desirable feminine
• The qualities of light feminine energy
• The qualities of dark feminine energy
• The importance of embracing your full range and full feminine spectrum
• Why so many women are disconnected from their authentic self
• Why women suppress, hide and reject parts of themselves
• How our fear of conflict blocks our expression
• Expanding your capacity to hold people's reactions to your expression
• Why I have lost followers by expressing my dark feminine (and how I handled it)
• Why other women get triggered by your full expression
• My 4 step process for becoming a fully expressed feminine woman
• How embodiment work will help you inhabit new parts of you
• How to bring ALL of you to your relationships
