Women's Grit & Grace ~Embrace Your Power as a Woman in Life & Love

Life is challenging and life can be overwhelming, so who's got the time or the energy to do or give more? What if I told you that despite what you might believe, life gets better when you choose "being +1". Just what the heck do I mean by that?

When you choose to live your life with being +1, you choose to offer yourself as the inspiration, the joy, the smile someone needs that day. Being +1 means committing to a little bit more kindness, a little bit more courtesy, a little bit more compassion you bring through your actions and choices in life each day. Choosing to live as the positive experience that someone you meet, you intereact with, you don't even know may really need that day. 

Join me as I share more on how choosing to live as +1 may be the easiest way you have in your power every day to change the world, to bring about the peace we all seek within and around ourselves and our world.

Today's headlines make it pretty clear love is in critically short supply these days, or at the very least, spread too thin. But what would you say if I told you that it's really self-love which is truly lacking? Yes, self-love, for self-love is the foundation of authentic love for another and for the ability to extend love to others. But what exactly is self-love? It's not what you think and why I feel it's important to spend some time talking about it.

Self-love is not only loving yourself and caring for yourself. Self love is also the understanding and living of compassion as the most powerful choice one can make. Compassion does not mean letting people treat you badly nor does compassion mean you put up with BS. Self-love is the choice to view and live the knowledge that in the end, love is the only choice which creates healing and making a difference which last.

Join me as I share with you how embracing more love for yourself is the most powerful choice you can make for creating more love for our world under seige. And how selfish is exactly what you need to be more of!

So here's the deal-while marketing and your family may make you feel as though you and your life are flawed, what would happen if you picked up the cards you were dealt and played them? Meaning, instead of apologizing for how sensitive you are or how you don't like certain people, you simply allowed yourself to be as you are and went forth into life as such?

Too often we censor and distort ourself in order to fit in, to get the approval of others. Yes, we all need community and we all are diamonds in the rough who benefit from our relationships, but how we do so is critical. Seeking to be as everyone else means you deprive yourself and others of just what you were born to bring to others, to the game we call life.

Join me as I share how trying to be different from who you are to be something better, actually keeps you from being just who the world and your community needs. Even spirituality is being marketed in ways which homogenize the most intimate and sovereign of all relationships-the one with your unique soul and lifetime. Learn how playing the cards life has dealt you, that life needs you to play just as you are, is what will bring you more of what you seek. Not so trying to be as others want you to be for all beings are meant to bloom exactly as they are.

We live in a time when information is abundant as to how to be happy. Even the US Declaration of Independence offers "unalienable right" to happiness as guaranteed by it's government. And yet happiness can be elusive, as realized by any measure of today's level of happiness in the human race. So what gives?

Happiness lies in being congruent with your soul's purpose and your own sovereignty. Yet we have been taught our soul is for matters not earthly and to fit in with the crowd keeps you safe and normal. And therein lies the rub-claiming your happiness, your right to happiness, will require you get uncomfortable, take risks, and be true to yourself first.

Join me as I share wisdom from around the world on happiness and how to realize more of it in your life and in your relationships. Too many women settle for complaining about their unhappiness and blaming others for it as well. Tune in and learn how to avoid the trap I experience far too many women making in choosing their fears as more powerful than the grit and the grace they come endowed with as women.

Anger gets a bad rap, especially so for women whose anger may subject them to being called "a bitch, witch, negative"  or worse. By not giving yourself permisssion to feel and consciously engage your anger, you dismiss or suppress an energy critical to your well-being and transforming your life. Anger-as with all forms of energy-has a range from hot to cold, and while hot anger gets most of the press, cold anger is no slouch when it comes to being destructive when not befriended. 

Anger is an energy all women will benefit from having a relationship with, for women's history with men has left scars and historical rage, which needs healing for realizing happier relationships with men. Without honoring the anger from our past and transforming it into compassion, peace in our future will not be possible.

Women are the leaders the Dalai Lama has said will lead us to a better world. But here's the catch--it won't be through leadership as we know it, nor through power as you've been taught. Women's power is a "both-and" form of power and requires a woman to have an intimacy with her grace grit and graitude as a woman.

Tune into this session to learn what you were not taught about exercising your power as a woman and how power is commonly exercised is not a wise choice for women. Learn how power for women is an inside job, one which requires her to be intimate with her soul and spirit as a woman.

Women today are expected to do it all, be it all. And while that may work when you are young or healthy or inspired, what happens when you get overwhelmed, or discouraged, or need some help yourself? Many women simply keep over-riding their own needs to keep up with the tasks of their roles and their jobs, which serves only to deplete their health and their spirit. 

If your spirit has gone AWOL, tune into today's show and learn how you can call back your best support for the many roles and responsibilities you have today as a woman. Learn how calling upon your spirit will lessen your feelings of overwhelm and helplessness for meeting the changes and challenges of the roles and responsibilities you have in your life.

Our times are awash in information like never before, yet what do we DO with all this information? Our bodies will have their responses-which we tend to dismiss or medicate-and our mind will be insatiable. Yet, a life well lived is one in which we live OUR life, not the reflections of other's lives. 

There is information never before shared but with a privileged few, now yours for the reading. But how do you go from the plethora of information to wise use of the information for your purposes in life? How do you go from "The 10 Steps to Enlightenment" mode of information to using all this information for wise action in your life?

In this episode, JaiKaur will share how an intimacy with your self and soul are essential for your happiness and satisfaction. An intimacy in which you learn what to trust within you and then choose to exercise your courage for living what you know to be true for YOU and your one precious life.

We live in times most interesting, a time when many a truth we were taught is evolving before our eyes. Truths such as what is power, what is family, what has authority are breath-taking in their change. And terrifying can be the change to what we thought was true and secure. 

Women have been invited to step forth into more of their power, their impact, and their purpose to be leaders, healers and teachers of the changes we are in the midst of. Yet even planned revolutions bring unplanned course-corrections for staying true and on purpose to the heart of the revolution. Women are being asked to both heal historical rage and wounding while offering forth new forms of power which respect the living and purposes in life.

Join me as I share my thoughts of the revoution we have begun, it's traps and it's treasures, and how you can navigate the impacts in your life and relationships. We live in times which can take your breath away and which call upon you to live the grace and grit being born a woman gives you.

Women are gifted with many graces, not the least is the capacity for an intimate relationship with the medicine of their soul. Within your soul are wisdoms and strengths not available through your mind nor through your emotions. Wisdoms and strengths you need for meeting the changes and challenges in your life as a contemporary woman.

Life’s changes and challenges are many and meeting them with only your thoughts and emotions will leave you feeling hopeless or helpless about making things better. Learning to respond to life’s changes and challenges with the wisdom and strengths of your soul will grace you with the healing and changes you desire. Your soul medicine as a women is vast and victorious, dependent only upon your commitment to becoming intimate with your soul.

When a woman learns how to call upon her soul’s guidance and strength for living her life, her relationships will improve as will her happiness and even her health. Mark your calendar, invite your friends, and learn how engaging your soul medicine as a woman graces you for creating more happiness, ease, and purpose in your life.
