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

Happy February Everyone! How is 2024 treating you so far? We're on to the 4th Sword as I continue the 8 Swords of self-entrapment series. My choice for this week is the sword of Comparison. Comparing myself to others has been a long fought battle in my life and felt like a mental prison for many years that I couldn't break out from. I know I'm not alone as I've heard so many friends, clients, colleagues and really most people will echo the same struggle especially now in the age of social media and phones in our hands 24/7.

On this Identify & Heal Solo episode, I share some thoughts on why comparison can be so detrimental to our wellbeing and self concept. How focusing on our own gifts and abilities and not straying from our unique path by looking to what others are doing is the key to fulfillment and success. It can be very painful to measure ourselves against everyone we see, so let's pull that sword out, shall we?

There are certain experiences in life which very few people ever experience. One of which is reaching the top of their chosen field or finding elite status in sports or entertainment. Even more rare is when gaining high levels of achievement, notoriety, or fame bring us to a Spiritual redirection. My guest this week is one of those rarities. Bret Lockett is a transformative love and relationship coach, renowned speaker, and entrepreneur dedicated to guiding individuals to deep intimacy and authentic connection. Through focused & committed athleticism, Bret played for the NFL which ultimately led him to have a keen understanding of the value of the Soul over the Ego.

On this guest episode Bret shares about his unique journey through life from professional sports, facing shame & regret, and then to DMT & gaining a new understanding of reality. Bret and I had a lot of fun comparing spiritual perspectives & our 'boundaries" with how "far out" we're willing to go with mind bending concepts. Bret shares his knowledge of the Gene Keys, Hermetic Principles, & breathwork. His overall message is to inspire listeners to embrace their true essence, awakening their potential and the love within.

Bret Lockett is an adept in the metaphysical and esoteric realms, including the Hermetic principles and the Chinese, I Ching, Bret is a modern-day alchemist who facilitates life transformations. His approach uniquely synthesizes ancient wisdom with cutting-edge insights from paradigms such as Gene Keys, a transformative system for growth using your DNA, breathwork, and other methodologies to access superhuman abilities to rebalance energies and catalyze profound personal growth. Drawing on his evolution from an NFL athlete to a spiritual guide, Bret inspires resilience and radical change. Through Lockett Consulting and strategic partnerships with thought leaders such as The Flow Research Collective, he empowers people and businesses to discover their purpose and thrive consciously. Bret's mission is rooted in love, aiming to elevate well-being and unlock the highest potential within humanity through love.

It's always a blessing to have people come into your life to share their gifts with you. My dear friend Corry MacDonald (corrymacdonald.com) offered to do an Angel Channeling session with me this past week and WOW was it ever incredible. The experience  gave an extra push in my perspective shift. As humans can get so caught up in our stories about the role people play in our lives and how we believe people feel about us. We forget we have no way to know what's really true in another's heart. Sometimes it takes someone passing over for them to truly be able to express what was in their heart the whole time they knew you. Corry was able to illuminate this and more for me so I had to share with you all the story and revelations that came through!

On this Divine Feminine solo episode I share about my experience of having an Angel Channeling session with Corry and how it opened both of our understandings about the reciprocal relationship we have with our Angels. I also explain my surprise awareness that the people who are on the other side cheering you on the most might really surprise you!

It seems that it has become a chronic condition of most Humans to lack real love & acceptance of themselves and to know their full 100% value and worth. There are many reasons why this has become the case, the number one being that we don't know who we really are. It's time to remember, to reclaim our true power & abilities, and to end the negative self concepts once and for all.

On this Identify & Heal solo episode I take hold of the 3rd Sword of Self Entrapment; Lack of Self Worth & Value. I offer examples of how this deficit impacts our lives and perpetuates a disconnect from what you truly desire. Then I share ways to begin reframing the stories from your past, reclaim yourself, and know that your Divine Feminine value is 100%, always.

There is momentum building around Women's yearning for reclamation. Reclaiming their voices, bodies, Feminine power, wombs, and glorious pussies. My guest this week, Hayley Ebersole, is the Woman who is invigorating the conversation around this uprising and holding space for those who feel ready to begin. As an ancestral medicine keeper who synergizes transformational coaching, yoga and earth based rituals she supports soulful, high achieving women to deprogram self judgement and emotional instability so they can magnetize the life they really want.

On this episode, Hayley shares with us about the work she is doing to help Women engage in the unique work of Wombifestation to bring forth their deepest desires and true essence into the World. Our conversation is rich, expansive, and powerful as we explore what has been holding Women back for so long and the force that is about to propel us forward in the most remarkable ways.

Hayley Ebersole  She leads courses, group retreats and private medicine ceremonies supporting women to return to harmony with the cycles of their body, their heart and the Earth. Her upcoming course "Body Temple Alchemy" is a deep dive into women's ancestral practices for shedding self judgement to reclaim feminine spirituality and sensuality in the container of sacred sisterhood.

A true sense of Serenity is akin to the Divine. To know peace. To feel a wave of calmness fill your body. This reminds us of what resides at the center of each of us. The eye of the storm within that, regardless of the illusion of distress and chaos in our lives, keeps perfectly still and peaceful. We often don't feel a sense of serenity in our lives as we've complicated things so much here on this planet. Overwhelming ourselves into believing there is so much we need to be safe and serene. yet, is that true?

On this week's Divine Feminine solo episode I'm riding on the tailwinds of the popular guest episode from last week with author, Jake Eagle. His guidance for finding Awe anywhere and everywhere around you in microdoses throughout your day really landed with listeners. I wanted to continue on that note with how we can allow ourselves to seek serenity and peace within as our primary focus and source of fulfillment. From there is where everything else falls into place, naturally. I also speak to how the way to serenity is to simplify and ground. Be in stillness, quiet, & distraction free settings to allow yourself to root into that peaceful core within.

I'm making a series of it! A few weeks ago I did an episode on ditching your self doubt and more recently one on shedding old concepts that hold us back. It brought to mind the image of the 8 of swords in tarot. A woman bound by cloth and blindfolded with 8 swords in a circle around her. A self imposed prison. Self entrapment. When I decided I wanted to do this week's episode on the fear of judgement I realized that fear is just another one of those swords that we keep ourself imprisoned by. I figured I could do an episode for each of those 8 swords based on what keeps us trapped. So here it is, sword 2, the fear of judgement.

On this Identify & Heal solo episode I focus on the sword which represents our Fear of Judgement. So many of us hold back out true selves; gifts, ideas, passions, love, desires, preferences, & beliefs...a whole myriad of things due to our fear of what others will think and say. We lock these things away in our heart and do our best to fit in and hold back who we really our. I offer some insight into why we judge one another & are so afraid of being judged as well as some inspiration to forget what everyone else thinks and allow your true Divine Feminine self to be set free.

You've always had the power, My Dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.

Underneath layers of fear, doubt, & judgement about ourselves lies the core truth of who we are. The intelligence, gifts, and abilities which we have always had yet so often deny and bury under insecurities instilled by life. Yet the tides are turning and it is time for all of us to remember who we are, drop the fears, and step into our power. It may not be seamless, there will be setbacks, yet if you just keep moving forward something truly remarkable awaits.

On this Divine Feminine solo episode, I explore some more themes that have been coming up for 2024 including it being a time for shedding the layers of old beliefs and fears that weigh us down to reveal our strengths. When we can focus more on these strengths, everything changes. We begin to develop a steel like faith in ourselves so that we no longer falter and deny our true light when faced with challenges or adversity. To know your own brilliance and allow yourself to shine!

Does anyone else remember the original days of Facebook? 20 years ago now (!!!) When they only had 3 relationship statuses and the good 'ol "poke" button? The 3 statuses were single, in a relationship, & it's complicated. Their list of option has expanded over the past 20 years yet have our stigmas and judgement towards various relationship statuses changed much, if at all? That's the question I explore on today's Identify & Heal Solo episode where I help you take an honest look and see if there are some strong held beliefs or feelings keeping you in or from a specific status or from allowing yourself freedom to enjoy whatever yours is.

On this episode I give a bit of background on the historical stigmas of being single, the fears that hold us back from leaving a partnership or marriage, and the liberation that comes from doing whatever we truly want and that feels best to ourselves regardless of what others think. Realizing that status is a concept we created and uphold in our society yet does not reflect our true worth and value, so do what you want and plant the seed of liberation for future generations!

Storytelling is an art as old as time. Before the days of movies, radio, or television the original form of entertainment was telling stories around the fire. Yet despite the numerous means of entertainment that have come about over the centuries, storytelling remains a staple of connection. Not only does sharing stories help bring people together and relate to one another, it's also a cathartic means of processing and owning our own experiences. My guest this week, Lucia Nazzaro, is an Emmy nominated storyteller and expert who knows all about the value of sharing our stories. Lucia's work focuses on the realness and struggles of life and how we can live life well, individually and as a society, and let our lights shine through whatever comes our way.

On this guest episode, Lucia shares about her path through music and performance which led to encouraging people to heal through expression. She also tells us about her company, WellSeekers, which through storytelling, education and solutions creates spaces for healing, growing and conversations about holistic mindset changes, holistic mental, emotional and life wellness to help people rise & comeback from whatever comes their way.
 
Lucia Nazzaro works to create stories and solutions to help individuals & society find their story of well with a special focus on how we can rise and comeback from adversity and issues that challenge our wellbeing and the human spirit. A lover of questions, conversations and solution focused stories and tools, she also is the Founder of WellSeekers, a company, content and podcast dedicated to stories and solutions to find and feel better.
