Hello You Darling Girl

This is a replay from 7/11/22 where we talk about how we sometimes try to be "low maintenance" because you think a partner will not accept or love you if you require work. We should never settle for the bare minimum efforts in a relationship because you have just gotten used to what that feels like. Require that both of you are continually nurturing and building on the relationship. Ask for what you need. Ask for what you want. Ask for what you deserve. Be high maintenance.

On this episode I have our first male guest, Rob Roseman, one of the founders of WTF Divorce and host of the podcast Divorce Doesn't Suck. We get a male prospective on divorce and the ins and outs of co-parenting. No matter if you are the male or the female, divorce is tough and comes with a lot of new feelings. We learn how he navigated this transition and all about the platform of humor and support (WTF Divorce) was brought about from it. I can't wait for you to hear this conversation.

At the Day Retreat last weekend, we did belly dance to bring out the soft, feminine, sensual parts of ourselves and it was so beautiful to see the women open up and move in this way. Belly dance was something I took up after my divorce and was a part of me healing my wounded feminine energy. Sometimes, when you experience trauma or abuse, especially when you feel it was done to you BECAUSE you are a woman, you can start to shut those soft and vulnerable parts of yourself down in order to protect yourself and to appear tougher, stronger and harder. Once we can begin to heal and lean back into those softer, sensual, vulnerable parts of ourselves....we feel safer being a woman. We can be confident being vulnerable and feminine. This is what I learned and WOW what a difference it has made in my life. I brought back this episode (aired 7/18/22) in honor of the energy at the retreat. It was also a listener favorite, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. xoxo, Shedara #woundedfeminine #woundedfeminineenergy #healingfeminineenergy #beingawoman #softgirlera #softwoman #vulnerability #selflove #selflovejourney #healingjourney #youaresafehere #healingabuse #healingtrauma #selflovepodcast #besensual --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shedara-gibson0/support

Last week I talked about my views on forgiving other people. I told you I believed the only person you ever HAVE to forgive was yourself. So, this week I want to talk about that. About forgiving yourself.

I'm going to be talking about periods. And you may think that wouldn't get x-rated – but boy, do I have some things to share with you. SO, trust me on the headphones. I'm going to discuss each phase of your menstrual cycle and it's effects on your mood, your energy, your body and your libido. I'll get into how experts say we should be caring for ourselves through each of these phases individually. And what we can do to ease the symptoms to get more out of them. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/shedara-gibson0/support

I'm going to go ahead and give a domestic violence trigger warning to this episode. This week I want to talk a bit about the theory of suppressed or repressed trauma being stored in the body. How this is thought to happen and the belief that practices bringing you back to the body can help rebalance your nervous system after trauma.

Today I want to speak about the fact that some women are just mean and catty to other women. I want us to consider how their behavior can be affecting how another woman feels about herself. And I also want to touch on why you should give no fucks if you are the one at the other end of this unhealthy behavior.

I wanted to share with you everything I learned this week because it blew my mind. So, in this episode we will be talking about Wounded Feminine Energy. What is it? How does it get wounded? What are the signs that you are becoming masculine dominant in your energy? And how to lean into your femininity.

On this episode I want to talk about what the difference is in when you are being labeled high maintenance and when you are simply expecting work to be put into the relationship from both people. Are you priding yourself on being low maintenance when in truth, you are settling for the bare minimum efforts in your relationships because you've gotten used to what that feels like?

I'm so excited about this week's episode - because it's all about girlfriends! I'm going to talk about why we need them, how to spot the fake friends and how to find your circle if you do not already have one.

We get into the reasons why we should be paying attention to the things we are telling ourselves. Why our thoughts about ourselves do matter. and how we can start implementing a positive change in how it affects us.

We talk about what Self- Care really is...hint: it's not all about spending lots of money. In this episode we get into ways you can reduce stress and anxiety without spending a dime!

In this episode I am bringing Self-Awareness into the spotlight, we will talk about what it truly means to be self-aware, how we can work on being better at it and why working on it is so very important.

In this episode I describe the slight difference between self-worth and self-esteem. I will list some of the warning signs that indicate a development of low self-worth. And I will discuss how setting healthy boundaries can help you grow both within yourself.

Today on the podcast we will be discussing self-love. I want to talk about why so many women struggle with loving themselves, how it affects our relationship with ourselves and others, why it's important to develop a healthy self-esteem and I'll even throw in a few ideas on how you can get started on improving yours. I want to give a trigger warning because there will be talk about abuse and neglect in this episode.
