Leap of Faith the podcast

In this guided meditation we will connect with the Great Mother Frequency. There is a longing of being carried, being held by the great mother, opening your heart, expanding love, creating a ripple. I am because we are, Ubuntu (African) You're part of something way bigger.

The Egyptians, Mayans, Kanuhas and others ancient cultures knew that the pineal gland (third eye) was of great importance to humans. It connects the physical and spiritual world. It can help humanity achieve its full potential. Philosopher Descartes called it the Seat of the Soul. While the physical eyes perceive the physical world, the third eye sees the true world — a unified whole with an unyielding connection to God, the Universe. Through our 2 eyes we see duality in the 3rd dimension. The first eye unifies. The illusion of separation dissolves when we learn to activate the pineal gland. The paradox is that it is inside the brain, but outside the mind. When we can contain this paradox, freedom is achieved. Practice this 15 minutes Pranayama(the science of breathing in Sanskrit) regularly to purify your nervous system and to balance the flow of life (prana, chi, ki) in your body. Activating your third eye in the evening helps you calming the mind and activating the sleeping hormone melatonin. It will also help you to enhance your intuition (inner-tuition) and have more clarity on what it is you want.

Guided meditation to honour your Female Lineage

In deze bijzondere episode spreek ik met Jessica de Kam van Nieuw Vrouwelijk Leiderschap. We kwamen elkaar al dansend tegen in Amsterdam. Deze vrouw, die een vat vol doorleefde wijsheid is, heeft echt een prachtige missie: "Vrouwen hun volle potentie, authenticiteit en magnetische aantrekkingskracht te laten herontdekken". We deden letterlijk een deep dive in een overvloed aan thema's. Zoek een rustig moment hiervoor, luister en ontdek: *Wat haar antwoord is op authentiek jezelf zijn. *Waarom veel Vrouwelijke Leiderschapstrainingen nog steeds de plank misslaan. *Waarom #metoo helaas niet iets is van de laatste jaren. *Hoe het Christendom heeft bijgedragen aan de ontkrachting van vrouwelijke wijsheid en magnetische aantrekkingskracht. *Waarom we niet weten wat de Heilige Graal eigenlijk is. *Hoeveel breinen we werkelijk hebben. *Wat ze bedoelt met "Je Lijf is Je Bedrijf". *Waarom de Mastermind voor veel vrouwen niet werkt en de vrouwencirkel toe is aan een fundamentele herwaardering. *Waar de Wet van Aantrekking in tekortschiet. *Wat er letterlijk gebeurt wanneer je een "Beyonceetje" doet. *Waarom je toegang tot hogere wijsheid krijgt juist als je ouder wordt. En nog veel meer.. Beluister deze rijke podcast. Ik kan me voorstellen dat het veel vragen bij je oproept. Je kunt deze aan me stellen op https://www.instagram.com/mariannehermsencom/ Liefs, Marianne

In de Unlimited Women Podcast ga ik in gesprek met authentieke, vrouwelijke ondernemers die alles wat ze zijn en waar ze voor staan vertalen in hun bedrijf. Vernieuwend, buiten de gebaande paden, met een duidelijke visie, wars van hokjes en met een groot hart voor het collectief. In deze nieuwe episode geef ik het woord aan Lieke van Schouwenburg, die samen met Suzanne Vermet oprichter is van Masterpiece, een kledingverhuur platform voor designerkleding in Den Haag en online. Hiermee willen ze prachtige kledingmerken bereikbaar maken voor een groter publiek, maar ook bijdragen aan een meer duurzame fashion industry. Luister en kom te weten: *Hoe het idee ontstond om designer kleding toegankelijk te maken voor meer vrouwen; *Wat de gouden tip was van de coaches die ze begeleidden bij hun startup fase; *De nr. 1 reden waarom veel ondernemers voortijdig stoppen; *Hoe Masterpiece met hun prachtige concept een bijdrage wil leveren aan een meer duurzame fashion keten; *Waarom elke vrouw een Masterpiece verdient en wat haar pitch was aan mij als ondernemer om een abonnement te nemen. En nog veel meer! Dit is een podcast geworden vol met ondernemerstips, een kijkje in de keuken van een jong, innovatief bedrijf en (belangrijk)bewustwording van wat je zelf kan doen om over te stappen op meer duurzame kleding als antwoord op de vervuilende fast fashion industry.

#22 Symone Ottenvangers, Dierencommunicator en Healer In de Unlimited Women Podcast ga ik in gesprek met authentieke vrouwelijke ondernemers die alles wat ze zijn en waar ze voor staan vertalen in hun bedrijf. Vernieuwend, buiten de gebaande paden, met een duidelijke visie, wars van hokjes en met een groot hart voor het collectief. In deze episode ontmoet ik Symone Ottevangers, Dierencommunicator en Healer. Geraakt door haar berichten op Instagram, waarin ze haar paard aan het woord laat, wilde ik meer weten over haar prachtige gave, telepathisch communiceren met de natuur en alle levende wezens. Het werd een bijzonder gesprek, waarin ik enorm veel leerde over hoe je communiceert met je huisdier, hoe intelligent dieren eigenlijk zijn en hoe ze ons ondersteunen, zonder dat we ons daar bewust van zijn. Dus doe je oortjes in en maak kennis met Symone's fascinerende werk. Na het beluisteren van deze podcast weet je: *hoe haar paard haar op het pad van dierencommunicatie bracht en haar eerste healer was; *dat heel veel mensen telepathische (tele=op afstand en pathie = voelen)vermogens hebben maar het niet weten; *waarom dieren er gebaat bij zijn dat het goed met ons gaat; *wat de rol is van dieren voor het collectief; *wat de betekenis is van o.a. roodborstjes en vlinders op bijzondere momenten; *waarom kinderen aan één dag cursus dierencommunicatie genoeg hebben (terwijl de cursus voor volwassenen 2 dagen duurt); *wat haar visie is op de toekomst, en hoe dieren daar een belangrijke rol in spelen; *één eenvoudige tip hoe je beter met je huisdier kunt communiceren zodat je band verbetert. En natuurlijk nog veel meer! Ik weet zeker (en ik hoop het) dat je na het beluisteren van deze podcast voor altijd met andere ogen naar dieren zult kijken. Als je meer over Symone wilt weten, je kunt haar vinden op @Symone.dierencommunicatie en facebook.com/DierencommunicatieHealingSymoneOttevangers

In deze bonusaflevering over sacred plantmedicijnen gaan we de verdieping in en hebben het onder andere over: * het belang van de medicijn-vrouwenlijn voor het werk wat Dewi nu doet; * hoe haar aanpassingsvermogen haar kracht werd; * de kracht en veiligheid van de groepsceremonie; * waarom het belangrijk is dat er meerdere begeleiders zijn; * de magnetische power van een vrouwencirkel tijdens een retreat; * waarom het voor sommige mensen beter is om een 1:1 reis te maken; * hoe het kan dat de reis energetisch al begint wanneer je je inschrijft (en wat je ervan merkt); * waarom een weekendretreat gelijk staat aan een jaar therapie. Als je naar aanleiding van deze podcast vragen hebt aan Dewi of mij, stuur me een Dm via https://www.instagram.com/mariannehermsencom/

In deze episode van de Unlimited WoMen podcast spreek ik met Dewi Louise, mede-oprichtster van House of Louise, die met plantmedicijnen mensen begeleiden bij hun persoonlijke groei. Dewi komt uit een medicijnvrouwenlijn, waardoor ze als vanzelf nieuwsgierig werd naar het spirituele pad. Haar overgrootmoeder was een kruidenvrouw in Sulawesi, van heinde en verre wisten ze haar te vinden. Haar oma gebruikte een koksmes als pendel om antwoorden te krijgen, en eenmaal in Nederland werd er 'binnenskamers' vrijuit gesproken over tal van spirituele zaken, dus het was niet zo verwonderlijk dat Dewi uiteindelijk terechtkwam in het werk wat ze nu doet. Maar voordat het zo ver was begon ze haar carrière in Human Resources, omdat haar vader het belangrijk vond dat ze een vak leerde. Luister naar deze nieuwe episode met een bijzondere vrouw, waarin ik je meeneem op een reis door haar kleurrijke leven en de magie van plantmedicijnen, en waarin je antwoord krijgt op vragen als: * Waarom haar managers haar ontraadden om in het HR vak te blijven; * Hoe haar moeder haar op het pad bracht van plantmedicijnen en waarom het toch nog 7 jaar duurde voordat ze deelnam aan haar eerste retreat; * Wat zijn plantmedicijnen eigenlijk, waar komen ze vandaan en hoe kunnen ze bijdragen aan je persoonlijke groei? * Wat er wordt bedoeld met 'het plantmedicijn roept jou'; * Waarom een plantmedicijnreis niet geschikt is voor iedereen, en al helemaal niet voor spiritual shoppers; * Waarom het belangrijk is dat je steun vindt bij het thuisfront, met name voor integratie na afloop van de retreat; * Wat het belang is van veiligheid, sacredness en nazorg; * Hoe kijkt House of Louise naar de toekomst van plantmedicijnen en welke plannen ze op dit moment aan het maken zijn. En.. verrassing! Na afloop van dit gesprek bleek dat we zoveel thema’s nog niet besproken hadden dat we de opnameknop weer hebben aangezet voor een extra episode, wat een verdiepingsgesprek is geworden over wat er tijdens een plantmedicijnreis allemaal gebeurt. Stay tuned!

In deze editie ga ik in gesprek met Fieke Veldhuis, psychosomatisch fysiotherapeut en luisterkindwerker. Fieke is na tien jaar loondienst vier jaar geleden gestart met haar eigen praktijk Veerkracht vanuit Verbinding. Wat waren de redenen dat ze de zekerheid van loondienst opgaf voor een bestaan als ondernemer? Wat heeft het haar gebracht? Wat bedoelt ze met cyclisch werken? Hoe vertaal je dat in een systeem wat nog steeds volledig uitgaat van het lineaire model? En hoe past zij de mannelijke en vrouwelijke energie toe in haar werk met cliënten? We spraken ook over sisterhood, het fenomeen dat steeds meer vrouwen elkaar ondersteunen en met elkaar groeien in deze nieuwe tijd. Maar welke rol spelen mannen hier in? Hoe kunnen mannen en vrouwen elkaar hierin vinden? We leven in een bijzondere tijd, wat Fieke en mij verbindt is dat we allebei enorm genieten van de transformatie waarin de wereld op dit moment zit. Met ons werk zijn we een druppel in de oceaan, maar ook de oceaan. Herken jij dat ook? Kadootje: Vanaf min. 39 geeft Fieke een korte oefening om direct in je lijf te komen. Heerlijk om te doen als je voelt dat je te druk bent geweest, te overprikkeld of teveel in je hoofd zit. Een aanrader!

Ik ben een groot liefhebber van meditatie en naar binnen keren om te voelen wat er te voelen valt, vooral in deze hectische, onzekere tijd. Maar dit keer wil ik iets met je delen wat heel toegankelijk is om te doen (een aanrader als je niet van meditatie houdt), en een mega effectieve manier om emoties te releasen en je beter te voelen.

In today's podcast I meet with Selma Haring, soulseer and messenger of the divine. I met Selma a couple of years ago when we both attended a spiritual training and a lot has happened since then. Selma channels messages of Maria Magdalena and other members of the Rose lineage. The messages are about health, love, sex and money, because they feel it is now the time to bring these topics back into a more natural vibration. Selma has been asked to be an instrument of peace and to unapologetically be a vessel of the divine. Whether or not you believe in channeling, don't miss this conversation. You'll learn: *What is needed from women now more than ever. *What to do with your spirituality when your family doesn't really get it. *What helps you to become more resilient, especially in frantic times. *How your inner masculinity will serve you in sharing your gifts with the world. *Why you don't have to help men that are mis-using their power, and what you can do instead. And so much more.. Put your earplugs in, find a quiet space and let yourself be inspired, supported and empowered to step into your most unlimited self.

In today's podcast I have the pleasure to introduce you to Life & Leadership coach Olga Romanillos. Olga is living with her husband in the Netherlands and working internationally on exciting projects.

Listen to this valuable podcast and learn: *How Olga loves being on her own stage and how it is possible for all of us to create one. *How many women (and men) put themselves in a cage without realizing it, and what you can do about it once you know. *What we often restrict in ourselves (unconsciously) when we have to deal with dementia of loved ones. *What the true meaning is of being a wild woman (and it is not what you think it is). *Olga's perspective on being unlimited and how you can see it differently. *What her singing teacher asked her to do when she was disclosing a very vulnerable live event. And so much more! Put your earplugs in, find a quiet space and let yourself be inspired, supported and empowered to step into your most unlimited self. Listen and enjoy!

In deze inspirerende episode spreek ik met teacher, mentor, schrijver Issa. Ze woont met haar gezin op Ibiza en leert vrouwen los te komen van hun identiteit, voorbij de labels en te stappen in wie ze echt zijn, buiten de gebaande paden. Issa is veel meer dan een teacher of mentor en daardoor moeilijk in een hokje te plaatsen dus ik nodig je uit te luisteren naar deze unlimited woman, en zelf te bepalen hoe je haar ziet. Doe je oortjes in en leer: * Waarom veel mensen wakker zijn, maar niet de verantwoordelijkheid nemen. * Wat de functie is van boosheid en dat je dichter bij jezelf brengt. * Wat Issa's ochtendroutine is en wat eigenlijk nog belangrijker is. * Hoe het komt dat manifesteren bij de meeste mensen niet werkt (en dat niet aan jou ligt). * Wat het verschil is tussen persoonlijke ontwikkeling en persoonlijke groei. * Waarom de verslaving aan je identiteit je verdere groei stagneert. En nog zoveel meer thema’s: multidimensionaliteit, haar nieuw te verschijnen boek, de begrenzing loslaten. Als uitsmijter heeft Issa een mooie reflectievraag aan jou: Wat zou er voor jou gebeuren als je alles loslaat wat je kent en iets nieuws zou mogen bouwen? Laat je het weten? (Take your time..) Luister en geniet! Volg mij op www.instagram.com/mariannehermsencom/ voor de nieuwste behind the scenes stories en updates over nieuwe podcasts.

With a Master of Arts in Global Crime and Justice at York University, UK. she is currently working on her social enterprise plan named "empowerFULL" with the vision to make every survivor of human trafficking financially independent by building an inspiring future for their lives. In this podcast we talk about living and working for a good cause in Albania, her growing up in Greece as an immigrant, and her living and studying in the UK as well as the Netherlands. Listen to this podcast with Anxhela Bruci and learn: *what nobody ever tells you about Albania *what her definition is of women empowerment *how she is truly living her values, and not only talks about it *why she chose a career in Albania instead of having all the opportunities for a well paid career in the UK *What she means when she is saying "You have to step out of the woods sometimes" and how that is relevant for all of us.

I am excited to have my Co-Active coaching colleague Tina de Meeus as a guest on today's episode. Tina is a master coach and facilitator who takes a stand for living life from the core and leading from the heart. Born in Germany, she worked in London, Paris and Milan and now lives in Brussels with her husband, three kids and a dog. Her first leap of faith was seventeen years ago when she quit her corporate job to follow her heart and start her own business. Another major leap was her decision to run for European Parliament in 2019, spurred by her own experience of leading a pan-European life and the belief that it will continue to bring great benefits for future generations. * What made her decide to do this without having any political experience? * What are the best people you surround yourself with when following your heart? * Why losing your mind can be really deliberating! * What Tina means with an internal YES. * How the common belief that you 'have to succeed' can stop you from taking that first step. * What it feels like when you are on the right path (Tina's personal advice). The Leap of Faith podcast is to inspire you, empower you, become still and ask yourself: Am I still on the right path? Is there a different way that I don't see yet? I trust that this episode will support you in finding your own answers. Please do share your insights, thoughts or remarks with me on www.instagram.com/mariannehermsencom/ Take care! Marianne

On today's podcast I have a very special guest. A woman who discovered as a child that the earth wasn’t a safe place for a little girl with a heart that was bigger than her body. A child who could see more than most people do. A child who became an expert in being someone else, because she wanted to fit in and belong. But after 30 years of hiding, she took her first leap of faith. Step by step she reclaimed the voice of the girl she once was before the world told her who to be. With her company Once Upon a Soul she now helps women entrepreneurs through soul stories, - journeys and - symbols to connect with who they really are and what they have to do. I can wholeheartedly say that Sylvia is using her special gift to make the world a better place, and this is what we also want for you! Listen to her (soul-) story and learn: * Why she became an expert in being someone else for a very long time. * The one thing you have to do if you want to live the life you are longing for. * Why the birth of her daughter made her wake up and gave her the courage to walk her own path. * What magical words she heard while she was on a mountain, surrounded by huge crystals. And so much more! The Leap of Faith podcast is to inspire you, empower you, become still and ask yourself: Am I still on the right path? Is there a different way that I don't see yet? I trust that this episode will help you find your own answers. Please do share your insights, thoughts or remarks with me on https://www.instagram.com/mariannehermsencom/ Stay healthy! Marianne

The Silence Experience- Will you cross that bridge and step into the land of possibilities?

I am so thrilled to introduce Jo Boniszewski, transformational coach and facilitator. Originally from the UK, Jo lives in The Netherlands with her husband René and their three children. She started out her working life - in her own words - as an “insecure high performer” management trainee with a large multinational corporation. After nearly 15 years of career in commercial management roles, something in her said it was time to stop, step back, kick off her shoes and take a break to reflect on what it was that she was really meant to be doing with her work. Although she didn’t know at the time what that was, she did know for sure that where she was at, was just not it anymore. Jo and I had an exciting dialogue, full of inspiration, insights and joy. Listen and learn: * How it was possible that the fact of being a successful corporate director didn't take away her feeling of insecurity. * How she knew she had to cut a cord, without having a clue what to do next. * What the big question was when she resigned and threw her business cards in the bin, while having a panic wave. * How important it is to get away from a working environment and system that keeps the status quo. * Why the signs of a restricted or bored soul can take many forms (and it is often not what you think). * How to know if the sign to take a leap of faith is not just a whim? And so much more! I hope you'll be excited and inspired to look at your own life and start to see the whispering signs for your own leap of faith with much more clarity.
