ABOUT WOMEN CIRCLE INSTITUTE PODCAST:

Women have been gathering in circles for centuries, even in the most suppressive communities, to find physical and emotional shelter, lift each other and share the powerful feminine energy.

In this podcast, we are going to rediscover what happens when women come together bringing in their authentic, creative and nurturing selves. In other words, this podcast is dedicated to magical spaces also known as women's circles.

In our first episode, we answer 5 (five) out of 10 (ten) most common questions about Women's Circles:

With sadness and great amounts of love, Anna and Marta are saying goodbye to You've Got 5 Options. It's been a truly amazing journey. Challenging. Inspiring. Creative. Fun. 

The time has come to take a break. Or break up. That we do not know for sure just yet.

Thank you for being with us through 3,5 years of a hell of a podcasting journey.

In this episode, Marta and Signe, interview a beautiful woman, Eesha Samad, who has managed to free herself from an abusive relationship. Eesha entered an arranged, promising marriage when she was just about 17 years old. The relationship quickly turned out to be a real nightmare. After years of depression and a suicide attempt, Eesha has found her strength to free herself from the toxic marriage and start her life from scratch in Denmark.

Eesha takes us through the story and the innocent beginning of the relationship.

She tells us about the first signs of the abuse and how quickly things start spiralling down.

She tells us about her depression and suicide attempt which serves her as a turning point.

She then needs to keep on surviving the abuse for 2 years more before she finds the solution to finally escape the marriage.

She tells us how she starts her new life in Denmark.

We find out what helps her heal from the trauma.

In the end, she sends a message to all women who find themselves in an abusive relationship.

My name is Eesha. I turned 30 this year. I moved to Denmark 4.5 years ago with the intention to start a new life. Recently I moved to Aarhus for my work. I work as a Regional Manager for UNICEF Denmark. Back in 2016, I took a plane in search of happiness to the happiest country in the world! DENMARK. The day I took a plane to Copenhagen, Denmark where I did not know what the universe will bring to me, I was about to start a new life in a new country where I do not know anyone so the fear of crying alone for the rest of my life was on one side as I won’t have my family, friends or anyone that I know there so I decided to take out all the emotions and grief I had of leaving everything behind. For the first two hours in the flight I cried and cried and cried like a baby, without caring about the crowd and people surrounding me, I was telling myself ‘You can cry as much as you want right now because the moment you leave this plane, no crying, no sadness, you are going to be headstrong and ready to work your ass off for your dreams as this is the only chance you get to make things happen and to create a life for yourself.’ 

After seven hours there is an announcement that the plane is landing at Copenhagen international airport in 10 minutes. I quickly grab my bag and go to the toilet to fix my face, put on some makeup and get ready to explore a brand new journey of my dreams. Everything was seeming so unpredictable yet so exciting, an end that was unknown but I have always loved and enjoyed the unknown rather than worrying. I still remember that feeling so fresh in my mind when my plane landed at the Copenhagen international airport I felt like a newborn baby it was as if I was given a new life, I was super ready for a brand new life; a life that I will be living on my own terms further away from all restrictions, social and cultural pressure and a life that I’d live only for myself and for all the things that would bring me joy & happiness. On one side it was this massive pressure of starting a completely new life, on the other hand, it’s the grieve of leaving my family, friends and homeland and literally EVERYTHING that had been a huge part of my identity and existence.

In this episode, Signe interviews Marta about a topic she’s passionate about; Evolutionary Organizations. Marta brings about the work of Frederic Laloux and his break-through book “Reinventing Organizations” and they discuss how this new paradigm works. Can you really run a business without managers, where people bring their whole selves into the picture and there are no budgets and strategies, but evolutionary purpose?

What is wrong with the way we run organizations today?

How do the red, amber, orange and green organizations operate?

What’s special about evolutionary (teal) organizations?

Do they already exist?

How does self-management look like in practice?

What is wholeness all about?

How does evolutionary purpose work?

And if you’re not working in a teal organization how can you move forward in your consciousness?- “Braving the Wilderness” Brené Brown

In this episode, Marta interviews a good friend of the show, Rasmus Jensen, who brings along yet another fascinating topic to explore: do we actually come from another dimension? Rasmus tells us about 9 dimensions and what each dimension represents, as well as he explains which dimension plant Earth is now on and moving forward to. We also talk about stars and galaxies and reflect on how to find out if you’re from one of them. Last but not least, Rasmus takes Marta on a small journey to another dimension :).

What are the 9 dimensions and what each of the dimensions represents?

Which dimension are we on now? Are we moving to a higher dimension as we speak?

Do we always have access to all 9 dimensions?

Do some of us come from another galaxy?

How to know if you do?

What are some of the techniques to travel to another dimension/ galaxy?

In this episode, Marta and Anna, together with their guest Jørn Jessen, explore a very important question: Can you cure addiction? Jørn shares openly and vulnerably his own experience of going into, through and out of addiction. Jørn explains what are the elements of addiction and how they impact you and your life and tells us what helped him most on his way towards freedom.
Our Conversation
We deep-dived into:
• How does addiction begin?

• What may be the signs of addiction?

• What are the elements of alcoholism and how being addicted differs from being a user?

• What are the ways to get support on the way out of addiction?

• Can you fully cure the addiction?

• How can you know if you're completely free from it?

About Jørn
Jørn is quite an uncommon person, he is not on social media, he doesn't have his website and he was not much into describing his BIO. He was though happy to let Marta share how she sees him, so here you go...
Jørn according to Marta:
I will be honest with you, Jørn is one of my favourite humans and a dear friend. The Universe has sent him my way to enrich my journey called life and this I am profoundly grateful for.
The way I see it, Jørn is a wise man. An existential or spiritual teacher if you like. What I find most special about him is his ability to convey even the most complex concepts in a relatable and digestible way. I will never forget the way he explained his take on the Purpose of the Universe. No one has ever managed to tell this story the way he did and respond to all my scepticism and questions with this amount of ease and clarity. That is a true gift.
When you converse with Jørn, he takes you on a journey. He connects the wisdom of science, philosophy and spirituality in a unique and clear way. He knows how to bring the big and often fluffy topics down to earth and make them relatable to a regular human. And he brings his vulnerability and loving presence along, turning the conversation into a beautiful experience. 
Despite the fact that Jørn is not a public person (just yet), he is already impacting the lives of many people, among others through being a dedicated Sponsor and facilitator in AA.
I believe that it is only a matter of time before Jørn is ready to step even further into his potential and bless even more people with his unique gifts. 
I am sure happy to see it coming.
