On today's episode of Liberation, Courtney joins me in conversation to explore the multitudes of ways that our intimate relationships are deep portals into our own personal healing, if we allow them to be. As a woman of divorce and now engaged to her fiance, whom she shares a rich, passionate and safe relationship with, she shares how it's not only possible to heal and receive love that is tender and GOOD, but that it's also an opportunity to resolve the pain of your past to receive what you are truly worthy of.  Courtney is a relationship, intimacy and polarity coach who helps women heal personal and relational trauma so they can have deep, intimate relationships that feel safe, supportive AND passionate.  What we explored:  Who Courtney is and the powerful work she is doing How her divorce and rocky past with relationships initiated her into how she serves others today through her programs and private coaching How to use conflict as an initiator into deeper intimacy and connection in your relationship How she had been invited deeper into her own personal healing through her past and current relationships What it looks like to navigate conflict with your partner while remaining heart-centred, open and connected What a healthy vs wounded relationship looks and is experienced like. The awakening of the divine inner feminine and healing 'good-girl' trauma from religious indoctrination to embody our sensuality and feminine essence even more fully How our divine feminine essence is not separate from our human experience When we leave relationships *too* soon and when it's time to anchor in deeper instead Breaking intergenerational sexual trauma for past and future lineage Our healing isn't linear and how to give yourself compassion and be with the trigger before it impacts the trajectory of your current relationship Intentionally desiring your spouse again (especially as parents) and soo much more!

Your Relationship as an Invitation Into Your Own Initiation with Courtney Richards

Welcome to Liberation, a podcast for those taking their work deeper and higher by thriving not just surviving.

I’m your host, Autumn Bensette. At home, I’m a mom and when I’m here with you, I’m a Trauma-Certified Coach, Speaker, Teacher & Facilitator of Safe Space for women, mothers, service based business owners, online coaches and thought leaders who desire to return back to their heart, remember their wholeness and become their own source of validation so that the life and businesses they build is rooted in love, true inner peace and devotion to their personal truth.

In this show, I will be bringing you conversations with experts, leaders and healers who are living, breathing embodiments of their work, their wholeness and their sovereignty.

As well as offerings, community q&a’s, wisdom quickies and solo episodes where I share potent clips and transmissions from BTS coaching calls and live streams, answer questions you have for me and share a look into my own personal processes, perspectives and teachings that have been catalysts for me on my own journey.

I will be diving into the deep ends of life and facilitating challenging and uncomfortable conversations such as how unresolved childhood, intergenerational, sexual and religious trauma affects your business & ways of relating, conscious parenting, remothering yourself, and so much more. You can expect me to ask questions that invite you deeper into your own awareness and you may even hear people and opinions you disagree with.

I pray that through this space you can be initiated deeper into your own growth and healing, practicing discernment for what lands for you & what doesn’t and being open to expanding your own views and opinions on emotionally-charged topics.

I believe in the both/and here, all of our opinions, feelings, experiences and perspectives are valid and belong.

Through these conversations, learnings and teachings, I pray that you are able to return to your heart and remember who you were before you learned who you had to be. And that as you learn to integrate all parts of you, that you will embody a way of showing up for yourself and the life you were always destined for.

That you will be convicted in your truth & create from your fullest expression

That you allow your business to become a way of breathing your soul into humanity.  

That you will access true freedom & learn to feel safe in surrender

That you will be turned on again by your own essence and creations.

That you will learn how to be with what is

And that you will contribute in a way that is felt in the body and anchored in your inner wisdom…

If you’re willing to play,  be curious and ask yourself the hard questions too… then let’s dive in

On today's episode, Autumn and Alexandra explore the four common archetypes of entrepreneurial burnout because, well, burnout can be sneaky. It can be sneaky in the way it shows up, it can be sneaky in the way it develops, and it can be sneaky because it’s not always about doing, doing, doing more. They explore the archetypes that tend to lean towards burnout if left unchecked so that you, the listener, can see if you’re reflected in any of these.  Additionally, they give useful tips on how to approach understanding these archetypes and what may be at play in your life and your process.   What you can expect to hear more about in this episode:   How being “present” for others can lead to one of the most under-considered types of burnout    How certain unsuspecting patterns can lead to burnout, and why it happens    What happens when the thing that sparked your purpose becomes the thing that burns you out    Understanding both the light and shadow of each archetype so you can acclimate and find a balance that works for you    Where you may be carrying invisible weight that masks as service but leads to burnout    How to start to slow down the development of burnout based on your archetype    And so much more…   To connect deeper with Autumn, her community and offerings: IG: @autumnbensette  Check out my free Inner Nourishment Embodiment Guided Meditation to embody deeper self-love, peace and gratitude:  https://autumnbensette.podia.com/inner-nourishment-guided-embodiment-meditation
