Women's EmpowHERment Junkie

Hello, beauties!  On today's episode, Abbie and I wanted to further our discussion from the last episode on what Empowerment meant to us by telling you why and how we feel empowered.  We share our stories of survival and thriving.  There is much more to my story I shared, the heartache, the many tears, the six years of enduring the abuse, but I wanted to tell you how I finally had enough. Abbie also shares how it was her kids who inspired her to get out and ran as fast as she could with nothing but her kids and all the animals she could take.

In the middle of trying to survive, we lose ourselves, our minds are telling us one thing and our hearts are feeling so much.  It's so hard to distinguish what is love and what is not.  When you put on this pedestal that showers you with love, love love, and such beautiful words, we believe it, just to be crashed back down with nasty words and name-calling, over and over again.  We have both been there and felt it all.  We are here for you.  It is a war between your mind and your heart, but that is the biggest destruction of your peace.

Wherever you are in an abusive relationship, it is yours to navigate as you are the only one who knows if you can leave or not, if you can speak or not, or even if you dont beleive you are or that you can change an abuser.  There is NO judgment here and no one way to leave as there are many reasons.  Only when YOU decide, when YOU are strong enough will you find a way.  We just want you to be safe in any situation.  We know what it's like and know you got this.

No one can know what you have endured like you, you have never claimed to be perfect, but your flaws tell your story.  There is no need to hide them.  Tell us your own story of survival.  We would love to hear it.  You are beautiful and we adore you.  

If you or someone you know is in need of help and are in a Domestic Violence situation, please call 1-800-799-7233  or Text BEGIN to 88788

Welcome to our Reboot episode! 

Today Abbie and I wanted to discuss our absence and what it means to "empower" and our thoughts. Women EmpowHerment has five areas, self-worth, right to have and determine their own choices, access to all opportunities, power, and control over their own lives, and ability to influence.  There are so many ways to empower yourself and others.  Let's all try to empower each other and lift each other, it is not hard.  

An empowered woman knows her wants, needs, rights, capabilities, and weaknesses.  

You too can "butterfly".  Abbie explains this in beautiful words in the episode.  A strong woman will always turn her pain into power.  We are unstoppable once we are empowered.  

To the women who wipe their own tears and still smile every day, WE SEE YOU. We were you, and we love and adore you completely.

Welcome Lovelies!  Another episode with the beautiful Abbie!  Abbie and I discuss coping mechanisms in Domestic Violence.  We share our own experiences and some of our own coping strategies.  Ours may not work for you, but they worked for us. Maybe this can be a takeaway for you.  We truly hope so because we love you all. 

Abbie talks about her Ketamine Therapy and how much it has changed her life, as well as her daughters.  There is a lot of negative as well as positive talks about Ketamine Therapy for PTSD, but for Abbie, it worked wonders!  Whatever you choose, find the one that works for you.

We talk about how important it is to keep calm, do what you have to do to survive. Writing down your thoughts, emotions and all your feelings can be very helpful in healing.

Although most women recognized that they were having difficulties in their relationship, the majority did not realize that they were experiencing domestic violence or abuse. Early in the relationship, women used a variety of strategies to justify or deal with their partner’s behavior, such as ‘normalizing’, ‘acceptance’, ‘denial’, keeping the peace’ or ‘blaming themselves’.

When women tried to stand up for themselves or challenge their abusive partner, this usually led to further abuse, so, to play safe, women tended to take on a more submissive role

Keeping a diary

On the recommendation of the police or a solicitor, several women began to monitor and record their partner’s behavior, by keeping a secret diary.

Secretly getting help

Women have to be very careful getting help, especially if they were planning to leave, as they knew their partner’s abusive behavior would get worse if he found out.

Be safe!  There are a lot of resources out there if you need to reach out.  The Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233.

Welcome in ladies!  Today I have the beautiful Jenn Beninger!  Jenn is the Co-founder of Genius Ulocked, a visionary coaching leader with over 3500 lives transformed, empowering businesses with advanced multimodal methods and an inernationally acclaimed speaker and trainer.

Pardon the sound on my end, had some difficulty with my audio. 

Jenn and I discuss hour you are not your thoughts and your intuition is overwritten by other inner voices.  Your conscous mind is the "Goal Setter"  and your un conscious mind is the "Goal Getter".

Your unconscious values, limiting beliefs, and negative emotions live in your unconscious mind, and when you’re not reaching a goal, they’re not in alignment with what your conscious mind wants.

Your job is to uncover what is happening in your unconscious mind that’s blocking your goals, s you have to learn to tap into your intuition to do this.

When you do, you’ll hit every goal you set

Have you ever set a goal multiple times that you haven’t been able to reach?

You do all of the actions you’re “supposed” to.

You work really hard.

You invest in all types of programs, templates, and support.

Yet you still haven’t managed to achieve it?

This happens when your unconscious values do not support what your conscious mind wants.

I could talk to Jenn for a very long time on this subject, but listen and reach out to her if you want to go inside and find yourself.

Jenn is offering a free meditation to support you with developing and trusting your intution. you can find it here along with her social media accounts:

Welcome everyone!   We are back again!  Abbie abd I delve into the world of mom guilt.  Well, we are now calling it parent guilt because its not just mamas that feel it, its all of us.  The guilt is real and we dont want to downplay it.

We all feel guilty for something we have done raising our children.  No judgement here. My goodness I have so much parent guilt that I have dealt with on my own that I rote a whole chapter on it in my book!

All different reasons we felt guilty.  From not being societys "perfect mom" in their standards to what our family deems as a perfect parent, etc.  We are all trying to do the best we can as parents, have some grace with yourself.  You got this.

Social media us flooded with a million educational ideas, heathy breakfast options and other "momgoal" posts all to make us feel less than or that we should be doing it "their way".  Listen, your doing good just the way you are, you are in survivor  mode taking care of them, shuffling them back and forth to events, school, making sure they are fed, bathed and working your ass off too!  No one is perfect and that is OK.  

Your parent guilt now, more than ever, is going to be strong, but it doesnt have to be.  You dont have to give in to those outside pressures.

One thing to remember is sometimes parent guilt, especialy mom guilt, is so pervasive that it inhibits your ability to parent or function.  If you feel your guilt is creatiing high levels of anxiety, its worth bringing up to your doctor,  For many parents its a matter of stopping the subconscious comparisons and regaining confidence in your own decisions that are right for YOUR family.

Much love to you all and know you are NOT alone.  Kell & Abbs

On todays episode of Womens EmpowHerment Jukie, I welcome in my co-host once again!  She is amazing.

We dive into a little bit of each of our experiences with Domestic Violence and how we coped and how we want to help others find their way out.  Our show is a safe space to share and we never judge.  We want you to know we love you and we got you.  We were Born to Love, neve regret loving someone, even it that love didnt work out or was not reciprocated.  Love love.

Along with her parrot on her shoulder and my dog having the zoomies in the background, we talk about a new segment once a month called "Where's Wanda".  Abbies spirit woman, so unapologetically herself.  We invite you to ask Wanda anything in our facebook group "invisible to Invincible Females".  What is your Wanda?  We wanted to bring something fun and light to our show to break up the world of abuse talk.  Lets have fun with this.  Dont let Abbie fool you, she is a great artist!

As discussed in the show, I am shamelessly plugging my book on Amazon about my story of trauma and recovery:

Abbie has done alot in her life even as obstacles were in her path.  She has come out fighting and stronger than ever.

"Some bridges are beautiful when they burn.  There is a calmness that takes over when you can't go back.  When you have changed.  When you have decided.  When you have left behind a version of you, that is no longer you,  The end of everying.. is the start of anything"

I had the pleasure of speaking to the amazing Christian De La Huerta. Author, TedX Speaker, Personal Transformation Coach

With 30 years of experience, Christian de la Huerta is a sought-after spiritual teacher, personal transformation coach and leading voice in the breathwork community. He has traveled the world offering inspiring and transformational retreats combining psychological and spiritual teachings with lasting and life-changing effects. An award-winning, critically acclaimed author, he has spoken at numerous universities and conferences and on the TedX stage. His new book, Awakening the Soul of Power, was described by multiple Grammy Award–winner Gloria Estefan as “a balm for the soul of anyone searching for truth and answers to life’s difficult questions.”

Christian is the creator and teacher of several self-development programs designed to help people get free and step into their authentic power in order to enjoy lives of meaning and purpose and relationships that work.

For most of us, the past couple years have afforded an opportunity like never before to stare into the face in the mirror and ask difficult questions. The ongoing acts of becoming ourselves did not simply stop because the world was in a global timeout. In fact, he would suggest that because our lives paused for a time we were able to lean into what it means to become more deeply ourselves!

On todays show, I had the pleasure of speaking to the beautiful Ann Hince.  Changing the world, from the inside, out, who is a Spiritual teacher, public speaker, and author.

In her book, A Pathway to Insight, Ann discusses that in every second of every day we are emitting a signal to the universe that says “This is the way I am feeling now, please give me more reasons to feel this way”. To change what we are getting, we need to change the signal we are emitting. But how do we do that if the signal we are emitting is based on our whole history, not just on our current thoughts?

Beneath our current thoughts, the amount of emotional and physical tension we hold in our bodies from our past history is truly mind-blowing. Luckily for us it is mostly sub-conscious. But what do we do if we truly want to access this stored tension and release it? Because in releasing it, we not only feel better, but emit a different signal and so attract different circumstances? This book will lead you gently through the path of removing the emotions around your history, and beyond that to removing tension physically held in the body.

In doing so, your physical vibration will rise to the point that positive thoughts just occur to you, naturally.

We talk about how the calm mom she wanted to be (well, most of the time), with powerful brainwaves, with others feeling calm around her, with seemingly magical events happening daily, and with the ability to sense and release tension deep within her body.

Once you truly understand the Law of Attraction, Ann will take you on a journey of unwinding the past so that you can really attract what the universe knows you want. In the process, you will unlock the power of your inner eye, or sixth chakra, with the ability to see within yourself, just as the ancient Egyptian gods did.
