Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine

* In honor of this time navigating through the chaotic energies of the eclipse portal & with the Venus Retrograde bringing up relationship patterns and wounds, I wanted to re-release this throwback episode on addiction to chaos & dysfunction. Enjoy! *

---------------------------------------------------------------- Episode originally released June of 2023------------------------------------

Do you prefer to have a lot going on around you rather than to be in a still, quiet house? TV on or podcast playing on your phone while you go about chores? Many of us are more comfortable with vibrancy rather than stillness. It can feel too quiet which can sometimes feel lonely. These are normal preferences, neither right nor wrong. Yet is it possible to become a bit dependent on noise, movement, possibly chaos & even dysfunction to feel agreeable? The world within us vibrates at the same frequency as the world around us. If we became accustomed at an early age to being in a household with a lot of yelling fighting, chaos and dysfunction, that could become the state that we feel most comfortable within.

On this episode I explore the concept of being addicted to chaos and dysfunction. This can mean not feeling comfortable in a relationship unless it's very tumultuous, toxic, or intense. Or always finding yourself in friendships and work environments with a lot of drama or instability. Essentially this comes down to feeling more at home with a nervous system that is dysregulated rather than a regulated system. It is possible to begin to shift into a more stable, peaceful baseline and enjoy healthy relationships and home life. I'll give you some tips on how to do so and to break the cycle of the addiction to chaos.

When we talk about Divine Feminine principles, how realistic is it to believe that they can actually be incorporated in modern American business, politics, and lifestyle? Well, if you ask ME it's not only realistic, it is INEVITABLE. My guest this week agrees whole heartedly and has built an entire business around these principles.  Jennifer Whitaker is a Feminine Business Coach who teaches female entrepreneurs how to build multiple 6-figure businesses with feminine and nature-based strategies. She became a certified spiritual director and coach and formally studied the Divine Feminine for three years. This led her to create her revolutionary methodology where she weaves traditional business strategies with the Wheel of the Year—the main ingredient that has helped her clients create wild success while honoring their feminine energy.

On this week's guest episode, Jennifer and I get HYPED talking about the potential for the various systems in our World, particularly business, when Women are truly able to shine and prosper. Jennifer explains the feminine path to abundance and what true feminine abundance looks like, and how is it different from the traditional masculine model of wealth. She offers how can women use nature’s wisdom to expand their capacity to receive money, opportunities, and success with ease & why many women in business are feeling disconnected from their true nature, burned out, or like something is missing (within themselves/within their strategies and how nature hold the antidote. We both get excited talking about how aligning with the cycles of nature help women feel more fulfilled, energized, and abundant in their work and lives & how deepening our relationship with nature awaken a remembrance of our own power, intuition, and feminine essence

Ok first off, please disregard my insistence that the Spring Equinox is on Saturday...it's not! Somehow I got that in my head and onto my calendar. The astrological New Year and the Spring Equinox coincide on the same day! Thursday, March 20th. You can definitely still celebrate on Saturday though, I know I will be! Taking time to enjoy the sun, freshness of nature, and rumblings of new beginnings. 

On this solo episode I wish everyone a Happy Spring Equinox & Astrological New Year and share some insights into these events and ways to recognize them. With the Spring Equinox marking a powerful and beautiful shift making way for new blessings , fresh energy, and divine alignment. And the beginning of Aries season and the new Astrological year brings a powerful cosmic gateway where manifestations speed up and new ventures begin to blossom.

Millennias ago, the world's first-recorded priestesses served as the vessel and voice of the Goddess for powerful kings and empires across Mesopotamia, Anatolia and the Levant. My guest this week, Lisa Moriah, is a Mesopotamian and Biblical goddess wisdom keeper, shamanic priestess, somatic sound healer, and temple sales & marketing coach. Her work supports ancient-future devotion that is steeped in text and history, bridging the millennias between the earliest-recorded priestesses and modern women. Lisa believes your body and voice are portals to ancient power and she shares this wisdom and more in this episode.

On this guest episode, I ask Lisa to explain how sound is the most feminine of all healing modalities, what is “somatic sound?” and how women use this to perform self-healing for trauma. She shares about how she uses some very ancient technologies for sound healing, based in Abrahamic religious tradition and finding Goddess in Abrahamic religious tradition. I ask how she came to specialize in transmitting the presence of Goddess in sacred texts and where does Goddess reclamation work intersect with sound. Lisa is creating a safe harbor for Women who are ready to reclaim the Goddess within free from standard religion, a beautiful offering and fascinating work!

Her work supports ancient-future devotion that is steeped in text and history, bridging the millennias between the earliest-recorded priestesses and modern women. She loves nothing more than amplifying the wisdom of ancient feminine voices for audiences today. Sound is Lisa Moriah’s primary healing tool—including voice, rhythm, early temple instruments, and Eastern musical modes called makams. By reviving the path of the En priestesses of Sumer, and the Qadosha priestesses of the Israelite temple, she helps women re-member the goddess heritage that birthed their Abrahamic faith of origin. Practically, this work also activates authentic voice and dissolves inner blocks—so feminine creativity and leadership can flow unhindered. Lisa Moriah's ritual and transformational work is underpinned by seven years of goddess devotion and ritual, ten years of online business, and twenty years of professional writing.

We are in the midst of a great awakening. Now, more than ever, humanity is encouraged to make the inner shifts necessary to steer consciousness into a higher, more harmonious existence. We do not come to discover these new worlds of possibility by constantly looking outside of ourselves - we must go within. In her book Wild Spirit Fire - Freedom from Fear and Separation, my amazing guest this week, Danielle Kort, leads readers on a journey back into ourselves where we can expand beyond the belief that we are separate from our true, divine nature and remember the interconnectivity of all that exists.

On this week's guest episode, Danielle shares her remarkable story of how she came to channel the voice of her divine entourage : her Higher Self and masterful beings who come from a unified perspective. She explains the concise and immensely powerful guide to spiritual ascension, we are uplifted through profound insights and engaging parables which ignite the light within us. Danielle guides us to surrender our burdens and resolve inner conflict so we can create our world from a foundation of love, joy and empowerment. Her message leaves us with a heavenly vision for humanity, one that is now becoming available to those aligning with Unity Consciousness. This dream of unity is being birthed and you are invited to participate in its joyous co-creation!

Danielle is a retreat host, New Earth Ascension Guide, and author of Wild Spirit Fire: Freedom from Fear and Separation. With over a decade of experience helping others awaken their creativity, intuition, and joy, Danielle offers a unique perspective on spiritual ascension and personal empowerment. What sets Danielle apart is her ability to distill complex spiritual concepts into relatable, actionable steps for personal growth. She captivates audiences with her blend of deep wisdom, authenticity, and playful energy, appealing to listeners who seek a balance of sustainable luxury, spirituality, and meaningful transformation.

Danielle is also the co-founder of Women Breaking Plates, an empowerment movement that captured national attention. These unique events invite participants to physically release old energies by writing their limiting beliefs on plates and smashing them. The movement was featured in the LA Times.

Danielle offers a refreshing perspective on spiritual growth, creativity, and empowerment that will inspire your audience to elevate their lives. Her story of transformation, combined with actionable insights, will resonate deeply with listeners seeking authentic spiritual and personal development.

Ok so hear me out here, this topic may sound odd yet this theme came up a few times times in the past week. Once in session with a client and again at Women's group on Wednesday. Women expressing their concern that perhaps certain tendencies indicated that they, themselves, could potentially have narcissistic traits. And yes, Narcissism is an overused & oversaturate term presently yet it DOES exist and it is NOT the same as being overly self concerned due to early life trauma. That's my take and I wanted to share it.

On this solo episode I offer my thoughts on why many Women come to be hyper self focused and preoccupied with self preservation as a survival technique resulting from traumatic events. We can come to believe that other's feelings, actions, and moods are due to us because that was the fear we had when our environment as a child was unpredictable & unstable. Or if we overly worry about things working out for us, it's because we've been hurt in the past, not because we're selfish. This and more is discussed and of course an oracle card pull.

At seven this week's guest, Rikki West, begged a mysterious God for help, praying that her drunk father won’t harm their family and that he won’t be sent to hell. But when nothing seems to happen, she worried: Is anyone up there really listening? This question triggered a lifelong search for the great, loving being she imagines her prayers might reach. Delving into Catholicism, psychedelics, transcendental meditation, yoga, AA and Buddhist chanting, she explores every available path. She studies genetic science at UC Berkeley and humanities at San Francisco State, combing through the knowledge they offer for answers to the big questions.

On this guest episode I was delighted to interview the wonderful Rikki West. She was kind enough to send me a copy of her book, The Empty Bowl, and it was so smoothly and beautifully written I gobbled it up in days! Not only is Rikki a phenomenally talented writer she also has incredible life story. I try not to spoil it and let Rikki share her tale on the show of taking acid in 1960's Berkeley, having dinner at Roman Polanski's house, exploring the line between science & spirituality, surviving a violent rape that brought her face to face with the guilt and denial that shames women into silence, and fueled her addiction, how she has stayed sober for decades, and how losing everything ultimately led to a joyous late-life renaissance. 

Rikki West is the author of The Empty Bowl: Pursuing Truth in a Messy World, a former spiritual seeker, and a UC Berkeley–trained scientist. She spent decades trying to reconcile scientific explanations of existence with her ordinary, real-life awareness. One adventure at a time, she found her way to a peace and beauty that changed all the questions. Her book Rootlines, a memoir of family healing, was published by She Writes Press in 2020. Mother of Noli and Godmother of Morgan, Rikki loves being outside in the alpine desert of northern New Mexico, where she lives with her wife Jill and that old Yamaha.

It can be easy to assume we know why people leave our lives or don't treat us well. We must not be worthy, desirable, important, or intriguing enough to hold their attention and affections. Yet the truth is that people often reject or discard things that require more effort than they're willing to give and has nothing to do with us personally. Other than the fact that we may be too awesome to handle. So maybe it's time to release the self doubt and fear that we must be the problem and instead own our remarkable fabulousness. 

On this week's guest episode I explore the concept of the quote stating that, Expensive Things Are Rejected All The Time By People Who Can’t Afford Them. I offer various scenarios where this notion can show up in our lives including romantic relationships, friendships, and parent/family dynamics. I also talk a bit about today's (February 28th) New Moon in Pisces and its themes of dreamy, ethereal, and psychic energies and a time to explore more flow rather than structured creative ideas.

Would you believe if someone told you that the master key to the life you truly desire lies in your hidden beliefs? That you only really have one
or two BIG hidden beliefs that are holding you back in your life? And that letting go of these hidden beliefs from your mind and body would instantly have a profound positive impact on your life? Well that's the exact message from my guest this week and it's one that I whole heartedly agree with! Dr. Ray Doktor is a best-selling author with a doctorate in clinical psychology and over 28 years of experience as a life and relationship coach. His new book, All It Takes Is One, combines his understanding of the influence of core beliefs on individuals and his expertise in relationship coaching. 

On this guest episode, Ray talks about Woman stepping into their true sovereignty and developing their own Divine Masculine to set strong boundaries. He affirms thatmany men are not trustworthy so Women often overcompensate in their masculine which can be rebalanced.

Together we explore the idea of Functional Spirituality—how we can take the often ethereal concepts of Divine Feminine energy and spiritual healing and apply them in ways that create tangible progress in our lives. Dr Ray offers valuable insight into what leads Women to get stuck in the same cycles with dating and how to break out once and for all. Advice I could surely use and he does speak to me as a case study on behalf of many Women who also fear upsetting others over their own needs and wellbeing. We discuss how we can create sacred spaces for communication that encourage intimacy and understanding without triggering defensiveness and connect with other healed & healthy beings.
