I truly believe that people enter your life for a reason, and I must say Barbie is one of those people… Barbie is a Maternal Empowerment Coach as well as a Restorative Justice Advocate. The Government of Canada defines restorative justice as, “an approach to justice that focuses on addressing the harm caused by crime while holding the offender responsible for their actions, by providing an opportunity for the parties directly affected by the crime – victims, offenders and communities – to identify and address their needs in the aftermath of a crime….Restorative justice is based on an understanding that crime is a violation of people and relationships. The principles of restorative justice are based on respect, compassion and inclusivity. Restorative justice encourages meaningful engagement and accountability and provides an opportunity for healing, reparation and reintegration.”Barbie's journey began in the summer of 2016 when her youngest daughter was raped. During this time Barbie realized in order to be able to help her daughter heal, she had to first heal herself. Over the course of the next few years, and a lot of work, Barbie and her daughter fought for Restorative Justice. In this conversation Barbie shares about their journey and the success and healing they have had from this experience.Barbie has a powerful story that truly effected me on a deeper level - it is an honour to be able to share it with you on this platform.During our conversation we chatted about:Barbie shares about her journey to becoming an empowerment coachthe need for a wise woman archetype within our society society's views of aging and the implications it has advice for stepping into our Divine Feminine Toxic Femininity & viewing other women as competitionthe biggest challenges she faced with Restorative Justicehow to have forgiveness when you have been hurt so deeply / healing through lovethe effect the patriarchy has had on both men & women how to let go of limiting narratives I no longer align withRestorative Justice - what is it and her experience with itPlus so much more!Connect with me on Instagram: @thecuriousonepodcastFor more information, resources and detailed show notes, check out my website: www.thecuriousonepodcast.com

He has interviewed some of the biggest names of our generation and continues to inspire many individuals with each story that he unboxes. “Jay is the founder and host of The Story Box, a top 15 Podcast in 2020.In the past 12 months, Jay has had the privilege of unboxing the stories of over 400+ high-profile, world-class leaders from every field.

Welcome to my conversation with men's work coach Brandon Archer. In this episode we journeyed through all things Masculine and Feminine Energy.The Divine energies (masculine and feminine energies) are energies and traits that are contained within each of us regardless of our gender. Normally we will each have a more dominant energy within us. When we come together in union, enter specific situations, or integrate into any form of relationship different parts of these energies will come out.In order for any dynamic to work there needs to be polarity. Brandon and I explored what the polarities look like in our relationships, including the relationship we have with ourselves.During our conversation we covered:what masculine and feminine energy arewe broke down what masculine and feminine traits arewhat unhealthy, toxic, or unbalanced energies look like and were they stem fromhow to heal unhealthy energyhow to step into your masculine or feminine in a healthy waythe role that the energies within relationshipshow to find balancethe importance / role of polarityI closed out the conversation asking Brandon how he teaches his children about the energies (I found his answer very interesting)CONNECT WITH BRANDON:www.brandonarcher.comMENTIONED:The Journey with Jared (Podcast)Rising WomanThe Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel RuizFor more information, resources, and detailed show notes check out my website!

In this deep dive I sat down with Laura Aitken from Eye of The Wheel.Laura was not always the calm, empowered, and wise energy that she is now. Prior to discovering yoga and mediation, she was anxious, indecisive, and was constantly looking externally for validation. It was one day on the yoga mat during her yoga teacher training where she sat down to meditate that she first felt that feeling of inner joy. After becoming certified in yoga teacher training she then dove head first into meditation through the Chopra Centre.In our conversation we chatted about:her journey to discovering yoga & mediationwhy she decided to pursue yoga trainingwhat it felt like to meet herself and dive inwardsLaura unboxes the type of mediation practice she teaches and why she chose it thoughts - we are not everything we thinkleading with curiosity empathyhow do you feel empathetic without having other people's emotions stick to youhow to protect your energymaking life choices around the awareness of your empathyhow to create healthy relationships within your lifeadvice on finding like minded individualsAND MORE!CONNECT WITH ME ON INSTAGRAMFor more information, resources, and details show notes, check out my WEBSITECONNECT WITH LAURA:Eye of The Wheel Podcast Eye of The Wheel on InstagramEye of The Wheel on YouTubeMENTIONED:Chopra Mediation Instructor CertificationSome Thoughts About Relationships by Colin Wright
