70: Good Grief: Honoring Relationships Ending

Our relationships show us places in ourselves that our soul desires us to love or claim. The endings of a relationship, which may have brought both beauty and pain, can bring us that opportunity. Whether it is an ending or shift present or past, in an intimate relationship, family, collegial or friendship, we have another opportunity to return to loving ourselves.

In this podcast, I share my personal story of my recent relationship ending, how I am honoring it and the pockets of pain and beliefs that I had the opportunity to look at. I talk about how we can see our relationships as places for powerful healing and wisdom, four places we get stuck in grieving or moving forward into new relationships, getting unstuck from beliefs that keep us in lack, and how the mind and soul can be on different agendas.

Then join me in the healing experientials that support integrating and claiming the beauty and love from the relationship, healing any pain or wounds, self-forgiveness in your part of the relationship and excavating the beliefs that emerged, making space for the new, playfulness and life.

69: A{Live Now}: Reflections from the Horse Farm and Relationship Mirrors

In this episode I talk about relationships being a mirror and my adventures in leaving the Horse Farm in Ireland back in January – what happened and some clips of my private spoken journal from that time, getting cornered by my host, my experiences with horses blowing me off when I ask them to do something and how I overcame it.

Plus, my process in choosing a kind and pleasurable learning situation over one I needed to endure and how relationships serve to show us where we are still needing to learn to love, giving us an opportunity to love ourselves and others more deeply.

A Little About A{Live} Now

I’ve found that when I share what’s true in the moment, there is so much ALIVENESS and fullness in me.

That’s why I started the A{Live} Now mini-series, which is within the Embody Podcast. This is the second episode and I intend to share what’s happening in my real life and in my inner world, what’s truly full and alive now.

What’s alive now in me has often been what’s filled the juicy stuff of life: themes, joys, or challenges that others may also be experiencing, a fear and other emotions that bring me to the edge of my fullest expression in the moment.

As you listen, I will also share snippets of how you can support your own heart and soul, know yourself, be your fullest, or heal and love yourself.

68: The Untold Story, Get Out of Your Own Way, and NARM with Bianka Hardin

I’d like to welcome to the podcast Bianka Hardin, my friend, colleague, and previous supervisor when I was a holistic psychotherapist. Bianka taught me the lived experience of self-care, intention, and the power of visualization.

Listen in on our unique story of synchronicity in each other’s lives plus a rich conversation about:

Bianka’s journey into developing more safety and enjoyment in her body and working with anxieties and fears
Exploring trust and mistrust
The profound experience of realizing she was holding someone else’s fear
Bianka’s personal journey into exploring the truth of the untold ancestral story as half German and half from the South
How to connect with your her own desires as an empathic person
Personal agency and how we can get in our own way
What the body-centered and relational model of NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model) offers
When you feel you’ve had a set back it could actually be the natural contraction that happens after expansion

67: Key to Manifesting: Surrender to the Map of Your Self

Disclaimer: May not be suitable for all audiences, contains sexual content.

We are always manifesting something, but how do we manifest what we desire? In this episode, I explore the key to manifesting what you desire — finding the map to YOU and surrendering to your deepest, truest, clearest Self. I also share a true and vulnerable story of a recent flow and manifesting experience, discuss how we can’t be anything in the world; we can only be ourselves and offer a healing experience of embodying a time you feel most like yourself, touching into your desires, and resolving unworthiness and fears.
