In this week's episode, Gwen supports a highly sensitive being, Amy, with her intention to release something that is causing heaviness in physical body and anxiety in her emotional body. Amy also notices that other friends are feeling the same way that she is like they are on an energetic rollercoaster. This is a powerful episode because I have noticed this myself. In the episode, Amy shares that she suffered from autoimmune for 10 years but learned to heal her body and feel energetic again. However, there are times when the old symptoms come back, and it's typically related to picking up energy from her family or friend's trauma, fears, anxieties, stress, emotions that they haven't dealt with. This leaves her feeling dragged down, undisciplined, unmotivated, suppressed energy similar to the autoimmune symptoms. Amy has learned to clear the energy out with tools like working with the moon, self-forgiveness, smudging. The tools usually support her, but the energy is stuck this time. At times she can sometimes push through it, but she pays for it with even more exhaustion. Through guiding Amy to understand the purpose of this energy, we discover deeper misbeliefs and suffering that can be created from an unconscious, binary and punishing thinking of, “if I do this right, I'll be rewarded with more energy, and if I do this bad then I'll be punished with depleted energy”. By the end of the episode, Amy gets clear on why the energy is present and what she can do to support herself. In this episode we discuss: • How it feels to have autoimmune • The reality of being highly sensitive beings • How our binary or duality thinking can create suffering • Listening to the wisdom of our energies and bodies have for us • How to redefine the relationship we have with our rhythm of starting and stopping • When we connect and embody our worthiness, our energy shifts and expands If you would like to deepen into these practices, you can join the upcoming Moon Mastery in December 2021.

In this week's episode, Gwen coaches with Jennifer who is a healthcare provider and mother looking for clarity on why she moves into old thoughts of perfectionism, imposter syndrome, compare and despair, and feeling like she doesn't have enough to offer. When new opportunities arise, she freezes, doubts herself, and then distracts with other projects. Her tools of meditation, journaling, and inner reflection are not helping her move through blocks the way they once did. As we move through the episode, you'll hear me guide Jennifer through my process of attuning to the wisdom of the body, talking with the energy, connecting it to a younger self who felt the need to be perfect in order to be seen and loved. Through self-forgiveness, inner child healing, and bringing in her future higher self, Jennifer feels overwhelmed with a softening, fluidity, and love. In this episode we discuss: • What's at the core of perfectionism • Why we fall into patterns of imposter syndrome • Childhood experiences seek healing through current life • The maladaptive patterns from traumatic events and healthier ways of being with yourself After the recording, Gwen shared with Jennifer that at the beginning of the podcast she said a phrase, “I'll be found out”. This phrase carried a lot of past life energy of being a witch or healer or medicine woman when it was not safe and dangerous to be found out. It was at this point that Jennifer shared her profession and has been told by other healers that there are many layers to the fear she feels in this lifetime. Breathwork is a useful tool for the witch wound – women with fear of speaking up, speaking out, being seen, allowing their gifts to be fully expressed and seen, and clearing out past lives or generations of women that weren't safe.

She says, makes you you is not a liability but rather is what you're here to uniquely offer. Dr. Ellen teaches us about how to navigate the hidden harms of modern life and how labeling ourselves through a diagnosis can be disempowering. You'll discover how a holistic approach is a powerful gift we can learn to give ourselves to break the shackles of whatever is holding us back in mind and body.

In the throngs of “normal life” obligations we were able to quiet the inner voices that constantly whisper and guide to our highest purpose and expression. Quarantine has helped us to uncover parts of our lives that feel misaligned to go inward and listen to what requires our loving attention and steadfast action. There is a paradox to receiving clarity that we desire. Oftentimes there is either a weight that follows with "how" to put that clarity into action, or a fear of moving away from practicality of the mind, and into the unknown of the heart. Whether you know your next step that would bring you deeper into alignment or simply feel there is a change to be made in your life, hear yourself in Abby as Gwen guides her from feeling unsupported, unsure, and unworthy to the truth that she is endlessly supported, guided and whole. Gwen teaches that often our strongest most needed medicine is in the gentle reminder of our light through our daily practice and shows us that we truly can shift in one conversation. In this episode: - How to build practically and lovingly - Clearing old energy from the body to hear truth - Making dreams more digestible through daily practice - Calming our analytical side through practical rituals - Understanding how to profit from our passions - Communicating with Spirit to transmute fear - What you can begin to do right now that will create space for more magic in your life Looking for some help on your own journey?

Carla enters the podcast with the feeling like she's failed as an entrepreneur monetarily even though she's had success on the surface. She feels like she's been stuck and blocked in a pattern of working other jobs to make money and doing things that make her heart sing on the side. This is a common challenge many of us face as entrepreneurs. We do work that we don't love to make money, and do work we do love on the side, but fear of making money, or feel blocked in making money, or give away our gifts or services for free. Having a clear intention for everything we do, tells energy where to go, ranging from having a clear intention for the podcast conversation, to a directional intention for work that we do in the world. Carla realizes in the podcast that she has chosen entrepreneurial ideas that came from her mind versus heart. When her ideas came from her mind, she felt pressure and did not experience success. But when her ideas come from her heart - meaning she experienced a challenge, found a way through, and wanted to share and serve others - she feels free and ready. In this episode, we also discuss the energy of money. When money doesn't know what you want to do with it (meaning you are not coming from the heart, and you are not intentional, and taking action on the intention), money doesn't know what to do with you, and for you. In the podcast we clarify intention and money as an energy, as an exchange. Our vagueness, or our clarity, will bring the type of monetary exchange (vague or clear). Listen to how I coach Carla on the distinction between making money "off" our work and "through" sharing our work. Making money "off" our work creates pressure and heaviness. Making money "through" sharing our gifts and receiving exchange for those gifts creates flow and abundance. Old energy around money can be something that enters or we pick up from other people (like our parents or environments when we are younger) that we carry and it gets to a point where it no longer serves us. Oftentimes these energies get stuck, trapped, or go unconscious. In the podcast Carla brings consciousness to the old energy so she can channel all of her life force to that which she deeply desires to share through her work, creativity, gifts in the world. Carla realizes that she never gave a voice to the abuse she experienced as a child and that was part of the block. As she clears the old energy out, her voice opens, she claims abundance. Shortly after we recorded the podcast, Carla openly shared on Instagram about what she experienced and what she wanted to create. It is amazing to watch Carla thrive and expand. Listen to Carla free herself of the old idea of failing, being stuck, not being able to make money doing what she loves, into feeling free, feeling open, and receiving abundance. Topics we discuss in this episode: - How to move through feeling like a failure as an entrepreneur. - The trap that many feel around working a regular job for money while doing what you love on the side and making no money. - The different energy and success that happens when we create a business from the mind versus our heart. - The power of intention in business, conversations, healing, money success. - Shift from the idea that we "get" money into "exchange" with money as energy . - Understanding that our blocks are oftentimes energy that are not even ours. - How to free ourselves from blocks, and how giving a voice to past abuse or trauma frees us from being trapped by it in the present. If these topics interest you and you'd like to learn more, here are some of my favorite books for a deeper dive into running a business and working from our heart (not from the mind), as well as money as exchange and energy (not something we need or get): https://www.gwendittmar.com/products Follow Gwen on Instagram: http://instagram.com/gwendittmar To learn more about Gwen or to be coached on a future podcast, visit http://gwendittmar.com
