Episode 25: We Rise Together

Breaking Free - A Body, Mind, Spirit Approach to Mental Health

It seems about time that I share the journey of my most important relationship with this community, my marriage. For many years, I wore a mask of perfectionism and "pretending to be", until I realized there is no joy in inauthentic living, especially in marriage. Relationship is a key component of our ability to heal, do our inner work, and move from shame to wholeness. However, our partners cannot heal us. Then what part does relationship play in our inner healing work?

In this Episode, I bring in my husband of nearly 20 years as a guest to discuss our journey as a couple in facing shame and woundedness as a team, and how our partners really show us the areas we most need to grow. We desired to heal and grow and if possible find ourselves on the other side united. We discuss how we did just that! Yes, like many of you we had some low points, even considered divorce for a time, but realized that the brokenness was inside each of us and our marriage was simplify a reflection of our own inner conflict. We will take you on a journey of 20 years of marriage and our evolution in thinking and relating that really helped us find both ourselves and our way to each other.

My husband brings a male perspective to the conversation of the healing journey and what it was like for him to co-journey with a partner overcoming Complex PTSD and trying to find her true self in the midst of parenting, marriage, and career development. We share how we went from disconnection to connection and the principles that allowed us to find that healing together.

Episode 24: Born To Create (Part 2)

Welcome to Part 2 of "Born To Create" Episode! If you haven't had a chance to listen to Part 1, start there as it will give you a great introduction to how to focus on what you desire start creating your life versus surviving it. Now you are ready to acknowledge that life's challenges are there to help you expand and be your greatest teachers. There is enough energy, wisdom, and love to help you get through your challenges and create the life you choose.

In this Episode I am getting real with you on what your specific blocks are to stepping into what I will call "The Empowerment Dynamic" coined by David Emerald's "Power of Ted." I will share with you a original meditation I created to teach my clients about the creation of our ego from fear and shame that is not "of you." I will help your reconnect to your true self that is safe, loved, good enough, and whole and complete and identify where you lost connection with that truth through false experience. We will then take that truth to create some "Dynamic Tension" to continual call you toward what can be in your life!

You will learn how about combing the skills of intention, or your desire outcome, with attention, keeping your focus where you desire it, to help you manifest your dreams. These are proven skills that I teach professionally and I will give you a taste of our Upcoming Conference, "Healed and Freed to Live From Joy" that you can attend from home to take that next step in your transformation journey (Coming September 2020 at WholeWomenLink.com). You are not here by accident. Our Soul's Purpose will never be quiet. This is your time to get clear on what you want, establish a community of support that can get you where you are going, and have the practices that lead to success! I am so happy you are here.
