202: Boosting Physical Energy to Feel Good

Have you, like me, experienced pervasive periods of feeling EMPTY, lost, and alone throughout your life? I very recently had a profound awakening as to why these deeply unpleasant feelings of emptiness continued to cyclically rear their ugly head (and I do mean ugly) - even when things were going smoothly in my life. It was meaningful, in this episode, to discuss this pattern with my new friend, Donna. Donna Bond is coming to us from the gorgeous land of Costa Rica! She’s a Spiritual, Life & Business Coach and the Author of “Original Wisdom: Harness the Power of the Authentic You.” I think you’ll love this rich New Year conversation (plus, it was recorded on my birthday, Jan 2).     Practical ways to bring in self-acceptance on the regular! The ONLY thing that will make you feel satisfied and “filled up” “Hang Up the How” - it’s not all on you.    Find her work at: www.donnabond.com   Happy New Year Special: Receive 40% off (that’s $84 off!) my STAND SPEAK SHINE 12 week course.

201: How to Actually Feel Fulfilled

Alert! Name change of this podcast! Women Seeking Wholeness is now…drum roll puh-lease…STAND SPEAK SHINE. What are the odds that my 200th episode fell precisely on the last Wednesday of 2022? I had to change the name. Why? Because it took me 200 episodes and nearly 4 years of weekly podcasting to integrate the realization that I’m no longer a “woman seeking wholeness.” Wholeness is already within me, as it is within you. We need only EMBRACE it. This name change reflects the New Feminine Leadership Paradigm: that we STAND in who we really are, SPEAK our soul’s truth, and SHINE in our authenticity! In essence, we SHOW UP -powerfully and humbly- as our true selves.    Why I’m a Mary Magdalene fan & what she represents in our day Unplugging from the matrix of external authority   What coming home to yourself feels like & how to get there in YOUR way    As a 200th episode celebratory gift: Get a 40% discount on my Stand Speak Shine 12 Week COURSE!

197: Healing the Mother Wound

  In this solo episode, I talk about truly doing your “ART”...your desired medium of expression and creation. Art is all about connection. It doesn’t conform to exterior structures; to fear and people-pleasing. It is living in you as a bold, unexpressed -and much needed- gift to humanity, universal consciousness - and to yourself.  Why “facing” your fear doesn’t get to the center of it (and what really does) 4 things your Inner Artist needs in order to “come out” How indecisiveness inhibits creative flow
