Whether you have a slow awakening that allows you to be gently curious about what spirituality looks like for you, or it feels like being hit by a truck and you're in a sink or swim scenario, a spiritual awakening can be deeply uncomfortable AND incredibly fulfilling. It is becoming much more socially acceptable to talk about spirituality, so we thought we would share our thoughts on what a spiritual awakening is, and our own stories of awakening... Spoiler alert: TOTALLY different experiences. Whether you've experienced something similar, something totally different, or are going through an awakening now, finding people to support you through the process can make a huge difference. If you would like support with your own awakening, book a call with one of us and let's talk about what you need.

In this episode, we covered: - How asking for help makes those around you feel - Why we self sabotage when asking for help and what we can do instead - The energy of asking for help and why this matters - How to set yourself up for receiving the help you ask for - How to model being okay with asking for help Links for this episode: Book a call with us

There's a lot of people out in the mainstream spiritual space, the people who have laid the groundwork for spiritual conversation, and who have gone forward and provided all of their wisdom and knowledge, who have then gone and almost made it impossible for us to admit that we are human. Because we are human, shit happens. All the time. And life happens. We can sometimes get stuck in this space of having to be grateful, and raise our vibration, and all of those kinds of things. Fuck that. Sometimes, I just want to be angry. This week, Erin gets a wee bit soapbox-y about toxic positivity, spiritual gaslighting, and why admitting that you're not okay, is perfectly okay. Have you ever felt like spirituality makes it hard to admit you're not okay? Send us an email at info@awakeningthewisewoman.com - would love to hear about your experiences!!

There's no point just following someone else's set of rules and their plan of what worked for them, because actually, all businesses are different, all people are different, and we have to be more willing to stand in our own power and do what feels right and aligned for us, rather than just doing what someone else tells us to. We have been working with a business coach for some time, and found that actually, stepping away from following the path she sets out for others, and finding the path that feels more aligned with who we are and what we want to be as a business has changed everything. Including our thoughts on whether a business coach is a necessary investment early on, especially when you are a personal brand. In this conversation we talk about our own experience with that, why we believe that hiring a business coach isn't necessarily the right move, and what we think might help you get further, faster. Have you hired a business coach and found that you ended up on a path that didn't quite feel right? If so, we would love to hear about it! Send us an email at info@awakeningthewisewoman.com or jump on an exploration call with us - we'd love to connect!

With all of the debate raging in the US about the law surrounding abortion, and Roe vs. Wade, we felt called to discuss what we think underpins all of the conflict - body autonomy, and a woman's right to choose. While this is a hugely divisive conversation at times, and we are all fatigued by conflict and the massive challenges humanity has faced (and continues to face) over the past few years, we felt compelled to discuss this because it comes down to one thing for us: No one has the right to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her own body. Period. We are conscious that the content of this discussion might feel triggering or upsetting to some listeners, so please exercise discretion when listening, and if you wish to skip this episode, we get it, and we honour you for taking care of yourself - we look forward to having you back with us next week! In the meantime, whether you listen to this episode or decide to skip it, we would LOVE to know what you think!

There's always that sort of stereotypical middle aged male having a midlife crisis and he goes and buys a red sports car and dates a secretary for a while. For women, it's a little bit more complex, because I think we're only just realizing now and there's a rising consciousness around this, that acknowledging that we are feeling discomfort or acknowledging that we are not 100% happy, even if we have access to joy, is actually perfectly okay.Feeling like you are having some kind of mid-life crisis is not something most of us will admit to... but many of us will experience some kind of crumbling, awakening, shifting sense of who we are and what we are here for, somewhere in our late 30's to early 50's. Join us for a conversation about how crisis can become course correction and why we need to be acknowledging this more, for ourselves AND those around us. If you have been feeling like you are heading for a course correction, whether you're in the space of discomfort, or full blown crumbling... we would love to invite you to our Cycle of Self program. A self-directed online program, Cycle of Self is a combination of video content, meditations, and workbooks that will help you move from awareness that something is rising within you, to growing into the next level of who you are.

"MANY of my clients are young, female athletes and their mom and I'm passionate about that because girls drop out of sport at 6X the rate of boys. I'm teaching them to face 3 F words: FAKE, FEAR, FEEL. Sport teaches us to "FAKE it till you make it" which means avoid your FEAR and hide how you FEEL. I think that's ridiculous! How in the world are we supposed become emotionally intelligent when we are faking, avoiding and hiding?? I'm also helping moms see how they unintentionally put their fears onto their kids which really hinders them in sport (and life). It's time to shift from fear to FIERCE!!" Some time ago, we were fortunate to sit with Shawnee Harle and hear how her work with young athletes is changing their lives, and the lives of their parents, through greater emotional intelligence and embracing courage and confidence. This conversation is one of our favourites since we started recording SHE is Wise, and Shawnee embodies our message and mission perfectly. Enjoy the conversation!

Today we are going to dive into something that is pretty fundamental to all the work that we do, and what we believe, so it's quite a big conversation. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. But what does that even mean? And what does knowing that change for us? If you would like to know more about what we do, and how we bring this concept into our work, check out our website.

Self worth is a recurring theme in pretty much everything we do, and quite often it is framed with a lack of worthiness. As women, lack of self worth or a sense of unworthiness is something that often shows up in our lives, in a number of different ways. In today's conversation, we go deeper into what self worth actually is, and why it is so important... and so hard to attain!! If self worth is something you struggle with, or if you would like more info about the SHE Pathway program mentioned in today's episode, you can get more info here: https://www.awakeningthewisewoman.com/she-pathwayTo access the free "Bring Your Power Home" meditation mentioned in today's episode, click here or see the Free Stuff page on our website.

When you want something so much, you get fixated on that one thing and don't leave any room for the Universe to work her magic. Believing anything is possible is about embracing your whole self, your spiritual self and your intuition that guides you forward when your humanness places limitations on you. The biggest mistake we make when trying to manifest the life we want is to get too stuck in "this is the only way it can be." Today's conversation is all about why believing anything is possible is absolutely key to getting what we truly desire, and how we can go about accessing that belief. If you're ready to believe anything is possible for you, but don't know how to get started, our 6 week group journey, the SHE Pathway, is for you! The next round starts April 25th, and we would love to see you there. Join us here: https://www.awakeningthewisewoman.com/she-pathway

This episode is all about recognising that the path you're on isn't serving you the way you would like, and how you can course correct and realign yourself from a place of power and making a conscious choice! If this resonates with you, and you're feeling like perhaps there is a course correction and realignment needed in your life, we would love to invite you to check out our blog about courage in the face of change.

Don't forget to subscribe, review, and share!! For generations, women have struggled to put themselves first. Today we are diving in to why we have struggled, why it's important that this changes, and how we can change it. Putting ourselves first can feel selfish, uncomfortable, and unfamiliar, but also deeply rewarding! There are lots of ways we can start to shift out of that behaviour, but first we have to be aware of what it looks like for us, and understand what drives the behaviour and what triggers us into that woundedness. When we struggle to notice and understand this for ourselves, we can allow it to keep us stuck. If you're feeling stuck in this area, we would love to help! Send us a DM on IG, a backchannel message on Clubhouse, or an email at info@awakeningthewisewoman.com to start the conversation!

In our recent Awakening Your Goddess Mindset workshop series, we spent a session diving into the difference between masculine and feminine energies, and the sacred and wounded energies. We shared how these might show up for you, what they feel like or what we might be thinking when they do show up, and discussed a little about where they come from. It was a popular session, so bear with us... we know this episode is a little longer than usual, but we wanted to share this content with you! If you want to know more about how the wounded energies affect you, make sure you subscribe... in a couple of weeks we have an entire episode on the Wounded Feminine, and we get uncomfortably personal about it all! And please share our work with your friends! We love creating this content, because these are the kinds of conversations we craved before we found each other... we hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy making them!

Emotions are an important aspect of our humanness. Every one of us has emotions and some of them can be really big and scary, and may be difficult to navigate alone. In this episode, we discuss how to manage emotions from a place of power, how important it is to let ourselves feel our emotions, and how that influences our well-being.

We teach our children about kindness from a very young age, including their worthiness of being treated with kindness... but how often do we actually live by those values? In this episode we discuss why kindness is so important, why we struggle to treat ourselves with the same kindness we offer others, and why kindness is not the same thing as compassion. We will be speaking about kindness, compassion, and how we can invite more of both into our lives as part of our Awakening Your Goddess Mindset free workshop series starting February 28th.

We have all experienced trauma, but the way that we talk about it (and the way we don't talk about it!!) needs to change. The thing about trauma that we don't talk about enough, is our response to it. When we haven't yet healed from the woundedness, we are triggered into wounded energy. When we have done the work to heal, we are activated into moving through it. Join us as we discuss how trauma is different for everyone, why your trauma, what you experience, and how you feel about it is all valid, and what it means to be triggered or activated by your trauma.Enjoy this episode?

In today's conversation with Yarnie A. Darling, host of the podcast Yarn's Tales, we discuss emotions! Yarnie is a fantastic storyteller, and someone who is super conscious about raising emotionally intelligent children, and finding that harmony that comes from being able to identify, connect with, and honour our emotions as they come up. We dive into societal conditioning and gender bias, generational shifts in emotional intelligence, and how we can make change around emotional intelligence in ourselves and our children. You won't want to miss this conversation!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABOUT YARNIE: Hello! My name is Yarnie A. Darling. I am a Mother of 2, my son who is 6 and my daughter who is 16 months are everything to me! I am a high school Health, Anatomy and Bio teacher that is raising her children right now and so I have created Yarn's Tales. Life is hard, life is rough, I have been knocked around quite a bit and I have found the better I understand my emotions, how to express and regulate them, the better I feel while in the rough patch. Understanding Emotions IS KEY, so with that being said. I write children stories and tell my stories, while my son draws the cover art and my sweet baby girl runs in the back ground. I write my stories in hope to bring emotional awareness and connection to families (PARENTS) and children. My son has Muscular Dystrophy and his disability will take many things from him, but I KNOW, if my son understands and knows his emotions he will be able to process that loss in such a healthy and empowering way. Understanding his emotions will give my son so much ability, If my son can break emotions down, understand them and express them in his own unique way I believe he will gain an understanding of himself that is powerful, empathic, and unreal. It will ultimately change his life. My GOAL is to teach my littles to understand why we feel, what causes emotions, and how we feel and express them. That is ALL about my business (podcast) and my biggest passion. CONNECT WITH YARNIE: Instagram - www.instagram.com/yarns.tales Podcast - https://yarnstales.buzzsprout.com

We are excited to share this conversation with you and introduce you to a very wise woman, Barbie Liss. Awakening the Wise Woman was born from the belief that embodying the wise woman archetype shouldn't require us to wait until we are post-menopausal.

What would it take for you to dream the biggest dream possible for yourself, then leap and trust that the universe will support you making it happen?That's exactly the question we seek an answer to in this conversation with Tanya Hackney, award winning author of Leaving the Safe Harbor: the Risks and Rewards of Raising a Family on a Boat, a memoir about her life as a married mom of five living aboard a catamaran, travelling the world.

"We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with" - Jim RohnWhen you start to reflect on who you spend time with, is that true for you? What I've realised over time is I have to be much more conscious about who I spend my time with and spend more time with those people who support where I am on my journey. Join us as we discuss the challenges that come up with that, the benefits of doing so, and why relationships are so important to how we show up in the world.

Welcome to our first ever guest episode! To start us off on the absolute best foot possible, we sat down with a phenomenal woman - a truth speaker, a wounded healer, and a courageous and bold modern wise woman - Candice Smiley, of Create the Ripple Podcast, to talk about living in authenticity, sharing your truth with courage and confidence, and being the change you wish to see in the world. For those of you ready to dive deeper into a healing journey that leads to truth and authenticity, this episode is for you!TRIGGER WARNING - We discuss sexual assault, mental health, and domestic violence in this episode, so if that content isn't for you, please exercise your discretion with this episode.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Candice Smiley: Candice is a self proclaimed master manifestor and personal development junkie who loves to engage in interesting conversations with other influencers and entrepreneurs. Her favourite conversations are the ones that take courage to engage in. (Check out her podcast, Create the Ripple Podcast wherever you stream your podcasts for more of that!) She spends her time living - in a tiny home (250 sq ft), traveling with her daughter - speaking - on her podcast and on stages, and sharing candidly with other women how to find love after betrayal, to trust themselves, to speak up for themselves and set powerful boundaries. After a narcissistic and abusive romantic partner cheated on her with multiple women and left her (and the country) with significant unexpected bad debt and ruined credit, Candice was forced to rebuild her life, her credit and her trust in herself. Over the next few years Candice navigated the challenging world of foreclosure court, filing for financial proposals and divorce. During these times she adopted a minimalist lifestyle, leaned on her personal network and practiced radical personal forgiveness, acceptance and responsibility. The journey was not without its impact and Candice shares powerfully about dealing with anxiety, depression, shame and learning to let go. When grief rocked her world a little less than 2 years ago, Candice knew it was time to stop her life, hit the pause button and finally do the deep work to heal her heart, self and mindset. She spent 14 weeks in deep personal soul searching, meditation, quiet reflection; with a side of weekly therapy and support from various healing modalities to help her recenter, refocus and heal her deep feminine nature. Emerging from this place, Candice has begun to embrace her fierce and receptive feminine nature with her formally developed masculine side. The journey to be and embrace all the parts of herself has led her to the place to start her wildly successful Create the Ripple Podcast; Trust the Niggle and Tell the Truth - where she features other amazing guests who are not afraid to do the hard work of personal development, listen to their own minds/heart and then speak up and out for those things that matter; to themselves and to make a difference in the world. Candice loves her minimalist lifestyle for the beauty and freedom it offers her. She knows the power of a good thrift store shop and loves her wardrobe! She has learned the power of saying no, listening to your own heart and speaks openly about subtle abuse as it occurs in relationships. She's become a voice for listening to your own truth and speaking it powerfully. She knows how to save money, make money online and in creative ways to balance the books as a single mom and yet live your biggest and best life. Candice can never resist the urge to take off her boots to walk barefoot into a clear mountain lake or stream. When she is not connecting or writing, she can be found disappearing into the backcountry trails of Canada with her life-love Mark and losing herself exploring waterfalls and mountain trails. She is a quiet introvert who adores eating clean foods and reading a great book. Connect with Candice: https://linktr.ee/CandiceSmiley

"We have to live our life forwards, but you can only understand it backwards." - Ellie's Mum (Probably not originally Ellie's mum, but that's where it came from for us.) As we begin a new year, with a new moon, we discuss reflection and intention and how important these things are for creating the life we want to live. Reflecting without emotion, removing all of the "shoulds" and "didn'ts" and setting intentions based on how we want to feel and what we want more of is a key aspect of alignment for success, and as always, it's all about being in the right energy!Whether you've set intentions for the new year, or haven't done so yet, this episode will help you understand why the process serves us when we do it well, and how to make sure your intentions are built on a foundation of carrying forward what you have learned and need to know, and not the heavy emotions that come with being human and making mistakes.

With the festive season upon us, and both living far away from our families, today we dive into talking about traditions and upholding our values rather than traditions that no longer serve us. This conversation is most definitely part of a bigger conversation about values and alignment, but if you are feeling a bit challenged by the holidays this year, and alignment (or misalignment) of values with those you love, we would love to hear what you think of this conversation!!

What does it mean when someone asks you, "What is your purpose?" In this episode, we dive into what purpose means, and why it is (or isn't) important to know. As often happens, we balance the human aspects of the conversation with the spiritual, and the outcome is an interesting discussion about the question, "What is your purpose?" and why finding your purpose might not be everything you've been told it is.
