Your SHEro's Journey

Welcome to the all-new Your SHEro’s Journey Podcast!

Over the past 12 months we’ve been inspired by over 40 SHEo’s who have shared their amazing stories with us, but now it’s time to go deeper.

My intention for the show is that you’ll learn how to connect more deeply with the rhythms of life, so that you can reclaim your power and your rightful place in the world as the wild, mysterious, and deeply connected women that you are.

Today on the show I’m joined by Tabitha Jayne, CEO of Earthself, Author and Applied Psychologist, and Ruby Toad, Ruby Toad.com and Rebel Spirit, as we tap into the Aquarius New Moon, and talk Collaboration and Quirks.

In this episode, you'll hear:

Part One – Collaboration with Tabitha Jayne

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” ~ African Proverb

Tabitha shares:

• How when we work together we can take on bigger challenges.
  
  
• That we can learn a lot from how nature work’s in collaboration, it is not a system of independent parts.
  
  
• What she has learnt by looking to nature to the answers for everything.
  
  
• What nature can teach us about tackling both local, and global issues.
  
  
• How we can make a difference to the causes we’re passionate about and stop feeling overwhelmed.
  
  
• How one person can make a difference.
  
  
• Why we need to change what we focus on.
  
  
• The importance of our putting starting with own personal creativity, health and well-being, as change only happens when we’re in a relaxed state.
  
  
• The powerful effect of speaking your truth, even if your knees are shaking.
  
  
• How we have come much further than most people realise, and she shares some very inspiring examples.
  
  
• How the internet and Facebook are our allies when we curate them to support us.
  
  
• The power of choice.

Part One – The Quirks Challenge with Ruby Toad

“Rebels don’t let rules and expectation override their intuition” ~ Ruby Toad

Ruby shares:

• We talk about what it means to be a rebel in today’s world, and how it’s far removed from the stereotypical leather jacket and motorbike boots.
  
  
• Why it’s essential that you embody, rather than suppress, your SHEro Rebel.
  
  
• How suppressing this aspect of yourself can lead to anxiety, feeling low, and disconnected.
  
  
• How important having support is as you reclaim your SHEro Rebel Spirit.
  
  
• We share our own biggest acts of rebellion (I’m not sure if mine’s an anti-rebellion!?!).
  
  
• What to do when you feel that friends and family undermine you when you express your truth.
  
  
• The importance of having a sacred practice such as kinesiology, yoga, meditation, walking, to support you to have a clear, mind and heart, so you can tune into your own voice.
  
  
• Why healthy boundaries are so important.

We set you the SHEro challenge!

Today’s guest is SHEro Karolina Dabrowska, a tarot alchemist and empowerment coach. She can show you how you can use the beauty and symbolism of the tarot to offer deeper insights into life’s challenges, and when NOT to use it.

Karolina teaches women to trust themselves in making decisions.

Join us for more on this interesting topic!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How Karolina got her first tarot deck from her mother at age 15; she was immediately awestruck by the story, symbols, and pictures.
  
  
• How Karolina focuses on the element of play with the cards and with her clients.
  
  
• “A tarot reading course changed my life and taught me to view life’s challenges with gratitude.”

Free Weekly oracle guidance + Attract your soul mate in 5 hippie steps

Welcome! My guest today is Denise Dare, who knows the importance of cultivating the practice of self-love, and how this practice can allow you to honour and see your beautiful self.

Denise is a dreamer, writer, mystic, and home-educating, hippy mom of two daughters. She is a thought leader who began The Self-Love Sisterhood online community in 2015. This year, she is offering her first online course, The Sacred Art of Self-Love, to help women honour and love their beautiful sacred selves.

Let’s catch up with Denise!

 In this episode, you'll hear:

• Although self-love can be different for everyone, it embodies inquiry, awareness, and discovery.
  
  
• When Denise was a teenager, she felt the self-doubt and started asking questions and reading personal development books.
  
  
• Self-love has kept her afloat through challenges, failures, motherhood, etc.
  
  
• Denise explains how self-love allows her to be the mom she wants to be.
  
  
• Some of Denise’s favorite self-love practices include meditation, walking on the beach, yoga, meeting with girlfriends, etc.
  
  
• The greatest gift Denise has received from self-love is that she knows she’s “good enough” and doesn’t have to question herself.
  
  
• “Pain is for everyone, but suffering is our personal choice.”
  
  
• “There is always room for more forgiveness.”
  
  
• Denise advises surrounding yourself with supportive people and move others to the outer circle.
  
  
• Denise uses self-love practices with her clients in giving them permission to do what they want and defining what “having it all” means to each of us.
  
  
• She encourages her clients to meditate on what they want to “feel,” and determining what priorities matter most, and never losing the spirit of “play.”
  
  
• How do you incorporate more self-love? Denise says to start with ONE thing. For her, the ONE thing was to say “I love you” in the mirror.
  
  
• “Let it be inspired, not required.” (One of Denise’s favorite sayings)
  
  
• For Denise, self-love includes gratitude, reading uplifting books, and nourishing the body.
  
  
• She says to ask, “How can I nurture the little girl inside me?”
  
  
  

1. Practice gratitude for yourself
   
   
2. Think about something you can add to your schedule that makes you feel loved
   
   
3. Be playful
   
   
4. Be open to sisterhood and ask for help when you need it

“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, she became a butterfly.”  -Barbara Haynes Hewitt

Ayla from The Clan of the Cave Bears books

Bliss

At the heart of Denise’s vision is co~creating a world where work feels like play, hugs are medicine, and love comes first.

Denise is a home educating Cali mama, writer, mystic, and thought leader, happily featured by Positively Positive, Tiny Buddha, Elephant Journal and other rad places on the interwebs.

When she’s not teaching the art of self love, bold self expression and vibrant alignment, you can find Denise dancing with her daughters in the kitchen, practicing yoga on and off the mat, and walking barefoot on the beach.

Her signature Write from the Heart sessions inspire visionaries to release the fear and doubt that make writing feel hard, so they can tune into their authentic voice and express their message with grace.

Welcome! My guest today is SHEro Carrie Hensley, who will teach us how to incorporate a regular yoga practice into our daily lives, even if it’s just five minutes!

Carrie shares how yoga can change and empower your life.

Carrie wants to connect people to their inner awareness and mindfulness. She owned an award-winning yoga studio for seven years before opening her own online yoga studio, Sacred Sangha. 

Join us for some inspiration from Carrie!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• One of her first yoga teachers infused mindfulness into yoga without her even realising it.
  
• Mindfulness is awareness to thoughts, sensations, and emotions; it’s being in the present moment.
  
• Carrie explains the differences and similarities in the styles of yoga she practices.
  
  
• However you “come to the yoga mat” leads to personal growth and freedom.
  
• Carrie’s motivation to begin yoga classes was that she wanted “Madonna arms.”
  
• After Carrie’s first yoga class, the mental calming component taught her that yoga was much more than just exercise.
  
• She started immediately looking for opportunities to learn to be a yoga teacher.
  
• Her childhood was traumatic, and she has had eating disorders and even spent time in rehab; it’s been yoga that helped her come to wholeness.
  
• Early on, yoga had more of an impact on Carrie, but then the mindfulness brought benefits in various areas of her life.
  
• Carrie fits yoga into her everyday life; she practices 6 days/week, morning and evening.
  
• “I’m a much nicer person when I’m practising yoga regularly.”
  
• Some people who are new to yoga want to experience it in the privacy and comfort of their own home, so Carrie’s online yoga studio helps with that.
  
• Sacred Sangha offers live online classes, both monthly and weekly, along with e-courses, monthly themes, retreats, and even a book club!
  
• Carrie teaches breathing techniques, chanting, and meditation—exploring them all in her teaching.
  
• The community aspect of Carrie’s online clients is a huge benefit.
  
• One way to practice mindfulness is to keep a journal, writing down how you move throughout your days.
  
• To begin incorporating yoga, look for beginner classes, but don’t be afraid to try different teachers until you find the right one for you.
  
• There are many resources are available to help with yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.
  

1. Practice everyday
   
2. Schedule yoga into your calendar
   
3. Practice with a sense of compassion and non-judgement

Welcome! My guest today is Raeeka Yassaie, a bliss-seeker and joy guide.

Raeeka coaches, mentors, and teaches yoga and meditation. She previously worked in the corporate world, but now understands how to use her experience to deliver practical and spiritual tools to help people reach their full potential. Raeeka will talk about how we can incorporate Kundalini Yoga into everyday life, even in as little as three minutes!

Join us for some actionable inspiration from Raekka!

In this episode, Raeeka shares:

• Kundalini yoga is the “unknown” yoga and the “mother of all yoga,” as it combines posture, meditation, and chanting into a more holistic, spiritual practice.
  
  
• Kundalini yoga focuses on relaxing. Raeeka says it even seemed “odd” to her at first!
  
  
• How she fell in love with Kundalini, she started with a video, realised that it was amazing for relieving stress, and found a local teacher.
  
  
• After practising for a couple of years, she took the training and became a teacher.
  
  
• One of the foundational goals of Kundalini yoga is to cultivate new teachers all over the world!
  
  
• Kundalini yoga is so flexible and adaptable that you can do it for 3 minutes or 2 hours!
  
  
• Raeeka’s advice about starting Kundalini yoga is to be realistic and start small to create the space in your life.
  
  
• Raeeka noticed subtle changes in her life, like more calmness and peace.
  
  
• Raeeka explains how she uses yoga sets for certain specific physical and emotional issues.
  
  
• Kundalini gives you a direct line to inner wisdom and your inner teacher.
  
  
• Raeeka opens a yoga session with, “I bow to the divine teacher, the inner wisdom.” She ends a session with, “Truth is my identity.”
  
  
• “We don’t need more choices; we are flooded with choices. We need an elevated capacity to be more wise.”
  
  
• In everyday life, Raeeka usually begins each day with an early morning practice, and sometimes ends with a session before bedtime. She does her “breath walk” and finds little “pockets” of time throughout the day.
  
  
• Raeeka’s clients grow and learn and gain calmness. Many benefit from better sleep and more clarity in dealing with life’s issues.
  
  
• Anyone can incorporate Kundalini yoga into Raeeka’s 3-11 minute meditations.
  
  
• Raeeka shares some of the beauty of the mantras and music used in Kundalini yoga.
  
  

1. Be realistic when trying new things.
   
   
2. If you stop practising, “Get back on the wagon.”
   
   
3. Try to commit to it, however small.
