The Feminine Principle Podcast

We all have an imagination, it is a crucial place of dreaming and envisioning, of creativity, innovation, and problem solving, enabling us to explore new ideas and possibilities. It allows us to visualise, conceptualise and manipulate ideas, objects, and situations that are not physically present or have not yet occurred. Our imagination is also a valuable tool when it comes to healing and integrating our shadow self, however, it can also be limiting as we are not able to visualise beyond the wounding, trauma, and conditioning, we have experienced that have created our sense of identity. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we are exploring the role imagination plays in awakening and manifesting a different reality working with one powerful question to access the deeper layers hidden in your female psyche. Enjoy, With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 700+ Women For Our SOVEREIGNTY Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the radical, life-changing Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Programme, completely redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

We hear the term so much in the wellness landscape about surrendering. "Oh just surrender and everything will be ok." However the reality of surrendering is challenging as it's directly related to control, and how we unconsciously exert control over the relationship we have with ourselves and others.In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we are exploring the power of surrender and the challenges we experience accessing this divine state of being, and what happens when we give ourselves permission to let go. With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 700+ Women For Our SOVEREIGNTY Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the radical, life-changing Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Programme, completely redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

Frustration, we know it all too well! Something triggers us and the frustration rises like a tidal wave that threatens to drown us. Fuelled by anger, annoyance, disappointment, and uncontrollable fire, it sends us into flight mode, wanting to run, hide, sabotage, or fix. But frustration has magic woven beneath it, sent from the depths of our psyche to teach us a profound lesson about reaction and response, patience and expression, about communication and boundaries. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we are unlocking the wisdom of frustration and the steps you can take to bring this powerful and discomforting emotion back into balance and awaken to the power and potential to heal and integrate what has been buried beneath it. With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 700+ Women For Our SOVEREIGNTY Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the radical, life-changing Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Programme, completely redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

What is your relationship with your fire energy?Your fire has a shadow side and left unchecked it destroys, and burns down the house in reaction and fear. It becomes unruly and chaotic, throwing words poisoned with anger and hate, rage and envy, jealousy and bitterness in the face of those around us. It sabotages and manipulates and fights to be heard, seen, and loved. It is violent and volatile, unpredictable and dangerous.And yet, the core nature of fire is about transformation, transforming what needs to change, and having the will, energy, and commitment to do so. It is one of the most vital power sources we need to be in and of this world, to initiate, activate and create. It's related to the solar plexus, the stomach, and digestion and her power can be felt in our menstrual cycle and sexual energy.So how do we learn how to harness this most powerful energy and use it as a force for good?This is what we are exploring in today's episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, as I share candid stories from my own experience working with my destructive fire and what we will need to face and embrace if we are to unlock this vital energy source. Enjoy, With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 700+ Women For Our SOVEREIGNTY Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the radical, life-changing Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Programme, completely redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

What does chaos look like to you?We all have a relationship with chaos. Love it or hate it, it's always there in the different areas of our lives and relationships. It's there in our body when something is out of balance, it's there at work and at home, and it's there as we move from place to place going about our day-to-day busyness. Chaos is a necessary part of life and our evolution as it initiates change, however, our understanding of chaos tells a very different story where stress and overwhelm push us beyond our limits and our boundaries. In this week's episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we open the box of chaos and explore how it manifests in our lives and what is the truth hidden beneath it. I share candid stories of my own journey with chaos and the steps we can take to harness its power to bring more love, balance, and understanding into our lives and relationships. Enjoy, With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 700+ Women For Our SOVEREIGNTY Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the radical, life-changing Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Programme, completely redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

The root chakra, located in the pelvic bone, holds our inner sense of safety and power, yet we have learned to feel safe from our unconscious need to survive and be loved. The illusion of safety we have created leads to unconscious and often unhealthy patterns of behavior and belief systems that manifest in our relationships and keep us disconnected from our inner roots. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast I delve into the importance of feeling safe in our bodies and the consequences of not feeling safe in our relationships and how they show up in various ways, such as a fear of vulnerability, an inability to be honest, and controlling behavior patterns. I share with you tools to help you unlock the relationship you have with emotional safety to help you cultivate a deeper emotional connection with yourself and others.With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 700+ Women For Our SOVEREIGNTY Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the radical, life-changing Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Programme, completely redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

The womb is the sacred space of Woman, the cauldron of creativity and life force. It contains all that you are, all that you have ever been, and all that you are yet to become. However, the womb is also where we experience the world for the first time through our mother, and everything she is experiencing we are experiencing - all of her emotions, beliefs, and behaviors, wounding, trauma and conditioning - are imprinted onto our unborn self.  These threads of our prenatal experience then go on to shape our unconscious identity and the way in which we relate with the self and others, and how we parent our children and mother ourselves in life. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we are opening the door to these hidden wounds we carry, passed down from mother to daughter, womb to womb, and the impact they have on our lives and the legacy they create for the next generation when they are left unresolved. With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 700+ Women For Our SOVEREIGNTY Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the radical, life-changing Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Programme, completely redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

Love is a complex and often elusive feeling and is at the very heart of all Shadow Work. We all want to feel more love in our lives and relationships, but for many, it can feel like a never-ending cycle of confusion, heartbreak and disappointment. We have all grown up with a version of love, the love or the perception of love we were raised within as a child. Was it conditional or unconditional love you experienced? Did you receive acknowledgement and acceptance for who you were as a child or were you manipulated or did you learn how to manipulate your behaviour to earn it?   Whatever your version of love is, then this resides in your shadow and manifests in how you love as an adult and how you seek love in your life and relationships. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I explore the armour created around the heart to feel safe and protected and how this same armour is preventing us from loving and being loved. I share with you candid stories of my own relationship with love, what it means to be loved unconditionally, and the steps needed to manifest more love in your life and relationships. Enjoy, With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 700+ Women For Our SOVEREIGNTY Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the radical, life-changing Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Programme, completely redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that can have long-term impacts on an individual's overall wellbeing. When we experience trauma, the emotional chaos that it triggers can be overwhelming and we may not have the emotional capacity or understanding to cope with it in a healthy way. As a result, what we are unable to process at the time of the trauma becomes hidden in our shadow and manifests as unconscious behavior and belief patterns. These patterns are a way of protecting ourselves from feeling the pain of the trauma, but they also keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles of behavior. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring how hidden unresolved trauma has emotional, physical, social, and spiritual effects, manifesting as physical symptoms, relationship difficulties, and a sense of disconnection from oneself and others and how Shadow work can be a powerful tool for healing trauma and moving forward in a healthy way.I share with you my own journey navigating hidden trauma through PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and how it manifested in my unconscious belief system around Motherhood impacting how I reacted emotionally within myself and with others, the physical and hormonal symptoms my body experienced and the unconscious decisions I made that perpetuated unhealthy patterns of behaviour.  Enjoy, With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 600+ Women for the Notes From Your Shadow Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the transformative and life-changing effect of Shamanic Shadow Work for Women with 1:1 Sessions and Unique Programmes redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

Shadow work is fundamentally about healing trauma and unraveling the conditioning that gave us a false sense of our identity. However, it is so much more than this.It's about coming back home to our true nature. Back home into our bodies. and back to our inner roots. As women, we have been conditioned to live constantly in the head and in the doing of life, heavily focused on performance, and a very masculine way of showing up in the world.Yet we have a completely different rhythm and nature to men because we are constantly in transition through our menstrual and reproductive cycles and how we relate to ourselves as a woman, a mother, and a daughter. However, we have also become disconnected from the womb, a woman's sacred centre and the seat of our power, disconnecting us from the intelligence of our body and our own true nature, rhythm, and cycle.   In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring this great disconnect and how it reflects in the way you behave and believe, relate, and communicate, individually and collectively. I explore how it prevents you from really embracing and embodying your true nature and how shadow work for women helps you to come back home into the body and redefine the relationship you have with your deeper self.  Sharing stories from my own journey, navigating the challenges of perimenopause and how this is impacting and changing my own nature provides insight into the relationship we have with ourselves as we experience these life-changing shifts from the inside out. Enjoy, With Love, Nicola x---------------------------------------------Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you: → Join 600+ Women for the Notes From Your Shadow Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Explore the transformative and life-changing effect of Shamanic Shadow Work for Women with 1:1 Sessions and Unique Programmes redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love, and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power, and potential. → Access FREE Shadow Work for Women resources to help you on your journey.---------------------------------------------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!Thank you for listening xxx

Your identity is your sense of self, the roles you play, the masks you wear and the labels you gather through life to show to others who you are, what you've achieved, and what you do for a living.However, buried deep within your psyche is also your unconscious identity the shaping of which began pre-birth in the womb of your Mother and continued into childhood by those around you. As you have grown through life you have been conditioned on how to love, trust and relate with yourself and others and how to behave, what to believe, and what was acceptable and ‘right' through your interactions with the world around you and the wounding and trauma you experienced. Woven through this unconscious conditioning is your own unique soul code, your gifts, strengths and talents, your spirit and nature.All this creates your identity, your sense of self - your unconscious identity versus your true identity - and your journey through life to merge the two and become more whole through Shadow Work. In this episode, I share with you my own journey exploring my unconscious identity and how it has impacted my life and relationships and the lessons I learned about myself on the other side. I share with you key questions to help you explore your own sense of identity and where to look for your true and authentic self. With Love, Nicola x---------Whenever you're ready, there are 4 ways I can help you: → Join 600+ Women for the Notes From Your Shadow Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Book a Shamanic Shadow Work Session: The exact 90-min process I use with my 9-month clients to go from chaos to clarity to help you move forward in a more healthy and balanced way→ Inner Restoration 4-Wk Programme: Find your flow and restore your inner harmony with this 4-session Shamanic Shadow Work Package→ Explore the Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Intensive: The ultimate Shadow Work programme, radical deep inner work to help you get to the very root of who you are, redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power and potential. ---------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!...

Do you feel there's something missing? That your light has been dimmed and there's so much more of you waiting to shine through?Maybe you've tried to find this light, through therapy, personal development workshops, books or social media and no matter what you have done, you know there is something deeper, hidden beneath the surface that you just can't quite grasp.In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring the concept of Shadow Work, what you can't see, and what now needs to come into the light if you are to have a healthier, more balanced relationship with yourself, others, and Mother Earth. With Love, Nicola x---------Whenever you're ready, there are 4 ways I can help you: → Join 600+ Women for the Notes From Your Shadow Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Book a Shamanic Shadow Work Session: The exact 90-min process I use with my 9-month clients to go from chaos to clarity to help you move forward in a more healthy and balanced way→ Inner Restoration 4-Wk Programme: Find your flow and restore your inner harmony with this 4-session Shamanic Shadow Work Package→ Explore the Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Intensive: The ultimate Shadow Work programme, radical deep inner work to help you get to the very root of who you are, redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power and potential. ---------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!...

We all experience grief at some point in our lives, however how we process grief is often overlooked or ignored. Grief is a powerful emotion, a response to loss. Loss of a loved one, a way of life, or a way of being, living and relating. Grief is also a response to love, for we cannot grieve so if we have not loved so. Grief when left unprocessed sits heavy in the heart, creating a barrier in how we love and relate with ourselves and others and drives our behaviour and beliefs, our choices and decisions. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I share my own journey navigating unprocessed grief that was triggered by the death of Queen Elizabeth and the lessons I learned from it, and how we can navigate grief in a more healthy and balanced way by following the three P's - Presence, Patience and Permission. With Love, Nicola x---------Whenever you're ready, there are 4 ways I can help you: → Join 600+ Women for the Notes From Your Shadow Newsletter.Every Saturday you'll receive wisdom and inspiration to help you fall in love with your shadow and have a deeper more loving relationship with yourself, others and Mother Earth.→ Book a Shamanic Shadow Work Session: The exact 90-min process I use with my 9-month clients to go from chaos to clarity to help you move forward in a more healthy and balanced way→ Inner Restoration 4-Wk Programme: Find your flow and restore your inner harmony with this 4-session Shamanic Shadow Work Package→ Explore the Shadow Work for Women 9-Month Intensive: The ultimate Shadow Work programme, radical deep inner work to help you get to the very root of who you are, redefining the relationship you have with yourself and others so you can lead, love and relate with a greater sense of freedom and balance, purpose, power and potential. ---------If you've enjoyed this episode I would be really grateful if you could leave a review to help support the show!...

“We are all at war at some point in our lives, war within ourselves, at war with others, and we all have an opinion, we all judge, name, shame and criticise ourselves and others from these wounds of war”What has the war in Ukraine triggered in you?War is conflict. War is internal and external conflict. War is what is happening on the inside every time we feel internal conflict within ourselves and war is what is happening outside of us, in our communities, with each other, and in the world at large when two or more opposing sides fight for power and control, freedom, sovereignty, and democracy. The individual and collective wounds of war run deep into the psyche and left untended they simmer and fester beneath the surface creating toxic behaviour and belief systems that hinder our ability to lead, love, and relate in a healthy and balanced way. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I am exploring the individual and collective wounds of war and how the war in Ukraine is now triggering our own hidden wounds and is affecting us all on some level - economically, politically, morally, psychologically, and emotionally. What is happening in the collective is therefore happening inside of us, as what we are seeing is triggering something that has been buried within the self.I share with you my own journey and the steps we can take to find resolution within the self so that we can start to consciously respond to war in the world around us rather than unconsciously reacting to it and instead unlock our human potential to work together to be solution-focused and find a more peaceful, heart-centred way to move forward, individually and collectively.  With Love,Nicola x➤ JOIN US FOR THE EVENT - Conscious Female Leadership - Navigating Emotional Intelligence and Trauma - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/conscious-female-leadership-navigating-emotional-intelligence-and-trauma-tickets-311626622617➤ WORK WITH ME – Let Go of the Ghosts From Your Past with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions

What aspect of your life are you afraid to let go of?"Separating from our deep emotional attachments takes time as they are so embedded in the psyche, we are not aware of their existence as the repetitive pain and conflict they trigger has created a sense of identity"Our journey of separation begins when we are born when the cord is cut and we are separated from our Mother, a journey we continue as we grow through life to develop our sense of identity and independence. While separation is necessary, there are aspects of the self we find challenging to separate from as they are hidden in our unconscious, buried in our shadow. Our emotional attachments and patterns of behaviour and beliefs that are born from our wounding, trauma, and conditioning are such aspects that are invisibly woven through our psyche, creating our sense of identity until we can separate from them enough to see them objectively and integrate the wisdom and lessons buried beneath. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we're exploring the process of separation and integration and what it means for our journey of self-development and reconnecting with our authentic self. I share with you candid stories from my own journey of separation and how, when we lean ever deeper into the process of separation we give ourselves permission to integrate more of our unknown potential hidden beneath.        With Love, Nicola x➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions➤ JOIN THE COMMUNITY - Join The Feminine Principle Facebook Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/feminineprinciple

What aspects of yourself are you holding on to that actually no longer serve you?“When we consciously or unconsciously choose to stay in unhealthy patterns in our personal or professional lives we are choosing to stay in a comfort zone, created from an unresolved wound that has created an illusion of safety.” We all have comfort zones in all areas of our lives - personal and professional, externally and internally, and they can be conscious and unconscious. They are the areas in our lives where we feel safe, stable, and secure, the areas we feel comfortable.As we know, we also outgrow our comfort zones and it's our ability to act upon this that helps us to explore unchartered territory - a new environment, a new relationship, a new career path, a promotion. As a result, we evolve and experience more of our potential. However, we also have repetitive patterns of behaviour and beliefs that have been created as a result of the wounding, trauma, and conditioning we have been exposed to, and these equally have become our comfort zones. They have, unconsciously created a sense of our identity, our story, and therefore to change them will mean shattering the illusion we have been living within. So the question is are we truly ready to break out of this identity that has become our comfort zone and experience who we are beneath the wounding and the pattern?This is the topic we are exploring in this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, how we are unconsciously comfortable staying in the comfort zones of our wounding, trauma, and conditioning, how it directly relates to our sense of needing to feel psychologically safe and steps we can take to tune into what is hidden. I share with you my own experiences of bringing into the light an unconscious pattern from childhood that had created a deeply embedded comfort zone and enabled my own victim archetype to continue to limit my potential, simply because it created an illusion of safety.  With Love, Nicola x➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions

“When we feel disconnected, dis-harmony or dis-ease, or we are experiencing internal conflict, separation or the deep sense that something is missing, this is our intuition communicating the imbalances caused by the fragmentation of our soul”Where in your life do you feel disconnected, separated, or like something is missing?The fragmented soul is an evolutionary concept of how the wounding, trauma, and conditioning we are exposed to causes separation from our true nature and fragments our soul as a result. Scattered into pieces, each fragment contains the moment the separation occurred and also the gifts, strengths, talents, and personal power that also became separated at the same time. In Shamanic traditions, it is the role of the Shaman or Shamanic Healer to alter their state of consciousness and journey to the other worlds beyond the veil and work with their spirit guides to find and restore these fragments and return them to the person/client seeking them. It is a deep healing practice of returning the soul and the self to wholeness, re-membering those parts of ourselves that we have become separated and disconnected from as a result of the pain and suffering we experienced. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, we explore the journey of the fragmented soul and its relationship to Shadow Work and the steps we can take to remember our own soul back home. I share with you my own experience through my Shamanic Roots and Soul Retrieval and how this fundamentally changed my life and my own soul's journey.    With Love, Nicola x➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions

How much do you love yourself? Do you love all of yourself? Parts of Yourself? Or none of yourself?Loving the self is our natural state of being, to be in love with the self, and yet as a result of the wounding, trauma, and conditioning we have been exposed to we have become disconnected from love, from being able to truly love the self. As a result of this deep disconnection from love we have learned how to self-harm, however when we think of self-harm we think of the physical act of violence on the self, and yet, we harm ourselves every single day without realising it. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring how we recognise self-harm so that we can remember self-love. I bring your attention to the ways in which we unconsciously harm ourselves to be loved and accepted by others, and ignoring and rejecting parts of ourselves because they are simply too painful to acknowledge. I also share with you a simple tool to reconnect with the heart and steps we can take to remember love of thy self. With Love, Nicola x➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions 

What Is Your Relationship With Expectation?“Living and relating in expectation takes us out of the body and out of the present moment, sending our nervous system into unconscious overdrive, stress, and anxiety that could have been prevented if only we paid attention to our actions”Expectation is woven into every aspect of our lives, the expectation we have of ourselves, the expectation we have of others, and the expectations that are projected onto us by others. They are woven into our internal tapestry from a very early age and as a result, we don't realise how much they define us, our choices, and create our sense of identity.So when we learn how to bring our attention and awareness to how expectation is woven into the relationship we have with ourselves and others, an astonishing picture begins to emerge as we realise how deep the fracture is in being able to communicate honestly with ourselves and others. We begin to recognise how this unspoken dialogue keeps us disassociated and feeling trapped in unhealthy relationship dynamics that prevent us from being fully present in the moment and therefore in our bodies to experience living, creating, and relating from a place of joy, pleasure, and deep connection.    In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring how expectation shows up in our lives and how we unconsciously feed the patterns that keep us from experiencing our power and potential. I share with you candid stories from my own journey and how when we give ourselves permission to let go of expectation we can return back to a deeper sense of trust in the self and our power to live the life we wish to live.With Love, Nicola x

“Our constant need to seek validation from others reflects how we consistently and chronically have been conditioned to give our power away and trust in others rather than the self”Who do you constantly find yourself seeking validation from in your personal or professional life?From an early age, we have been conditioned to seek validation outside of the self, so we could learn what was right and wrong, good and bad, acceptable and non-acceptable, and as we did so we received either praise, love and attention or rejection, a reprimand or being chastised.As a result, this pattern continued into adulthood and manifests in both our personal and professional lives as it is deeply woven into our unconscious psyche. It's our default pattern that arises when we feel insecure, lacking in confidence, and are crippled by self-doubt. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring how our relationship with seeking validation keeps us from trusting in our own power and potential and prevents us from validating our emotions, our needs and boundaries, and our dreams and desires.

“We have a hidden language, a language we use unconsciously, passed down through the generations from mother to daughter informing us that our needs and boundaries are not worthy of respect”Do the words you speak empower or disempower your sense of self-worth?Verbal communication is such a fundamental aspect of our human nature, we communicate every single moment of every single day, silently and aloud to ourselves and others. However, for the most part, we don't even realise what we're saying or how we say it and we don't recognise how some of the words we use are reinforcing a narrative that directly affects our sense of self-worth and value.   In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I share with you three words that make up a phrase that we, as women, have been using against ourselves and others for centuries. We have used these words to negate, dismiss, and deny our emotions, our feelings, our needs and boundaries, our hopes, dreams and desires. Three words that when taken together and repeated over and over again, remind us on an unconscious level we are not worthy and as a result keep us repeating the same unhealthy patterns and disconnected from our power and potential to change our world from the inside out.  What are these three words?

“When we have a healthy relationship with our vulnerability we are able to face our deepest shadows and the pain and suffering hidden there so we can reclaim more of our power and potential buried beneath”   In this unhealthy male-orientated structure we have been born into we have been conditioned to believe that vulnerability is a weakness and if we reveal this weakness we will be judged, criticised, named and shamed and therefore on some level rejected and excluded. Conforming to this narrative further compounds our disconnection with our true and authentic nature and reinforces our unconscious need to avoid and suppress our emotions, pain and suffering, and unresolved wounding, trauma and conditioning. As a result, we armour up, protecting our hearts and hide behind the masks and roles that create an illusion of safety, security and stability, never allowing ourselves to step fully into the power of vulnerability in all areas of our lives.   In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I explore the deep relationship we have with vulnerability from an early age and how our unconscious patterns are created from what we experience during this influential development period of our lives and how these then carry through to adulthood.   I share with you my own intimate journey with vulnerability through my intense 5-yr Shamanic training, what I experienced and how I challenged myself to let go of all control and expectations to help me understand the true nature of the shadow, soul and psyche and the steps we can take to rebuild our relationship with trust by stepping into vulnerability.

"Practicing radical honesty is a cornerstone of Shadow Work and when we learn how to embrace it we step into more of our personal power and potential to manifest the life and relationships we truly desire. " We expect others to be radically honest with us, and yet how honest are we with ourselves and others?As women we have been conditioned to hide how we really feel, suppressing our needs and sacrificing our boundaries in the process. We say yes when we mean no and vice versa. We suppress the truth of our voice to please others.Quite simply we have compromised our truth through fear of being rejected and having to face the disapproval of others.As a result, we stay locked down in internal conflict, reacting to our unresolved wounding and trauma rather than being able to communicate what we really want and need in a healthy and balanced way because we have not learned how to be radically honest with ourselves.In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring the challenges we face in practicing radical honesty, the steps we can take to reclaim the power of our truth and make decisions from the heart and not from the wound helping us to completely redefine the relationship we have with ourselves and others.I share with you my own intimate journey through radical honesty that resulted in a life and death decision, what I learned from it and how it helped me to recognise my own power and potential, lessons I now share and support my clients with.With Love,Nicola x➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions

What are the money wounds you carry in your life and your family history that stop you from manifesting the money and wealth you desire?We all have a relationship with money and wealth and that relationship can either be healthy or unhealthy depending on whether we have been educated about the value of money and how it works and whether we are aware of the money wounds we carry.Money, like sex and death, is a great taboo of our society and culture, it is something hidden that we do not like to talk about or share as it is somehow dirty and shameful. We don't want others to know how much we earn or how much money we have in the bank because of a conditioned belief that it will affect how others perceive us, and whether we are of value or not. We have also seen how greed for financial power has placed profit over people and the planet, making the rich richer and the poor poorer, depleting our resources on every level. And we experience daily the power of the debt economy we have been conditioned to live in, giving us a false sense of identity, status, safety, security and stability, a system in which we must keep performing and conforming to meet the needs of this debt, living a life that keeps us in a state of anxiety, fear and stress, often feeling lost, unfulfilled and unhappy, and sacrificing our own health, needs, and dreams in the process.   In this episode, I'm exploring how our relationship with money and wealth begins when we are young and even beyond through the generations. I explore how money has been used to have power over us, to disempower us so we stay in the fear and the scarcity mindset. I share stories of my own money story and where those wounds began and how they shaped my life along with steps we can take to unravel these tangled threads so we can redefine the relationship we have with our own money and wealth. With Love, Nicola x  ➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions 

We've all experienced an emotional breakdown at some point in our lives, that heart-breaking, gut-wrenching outpouring of grief that no matter how much we try to control it, suppress it, ignore it, it just won't stop. Yet, as women we have been conditioned to suppress our emotions, to not feel or express them in any way as they are deemed not acceptable by others and so we need to perform and conform and stay in control on so many levels, which he makes the process so much harder to deal with. In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring how an emotional breakdown is a death process, a period of our life that makes us face the stark reality that we have outgrown an aspect of our self and we must now let go of it so we can make space for more of our power and potential that now wishes to be birthed. And with death, naturally comes grief and this is why an emotional breakdown is so painful as the heart literally breaks open shattering the illusions and delusions we have created to maintain a sense of safety, security and stability and a level of control. I share with you a story from my own life navigating an emotional breakdown and the lessons I learned from it, along with ways in which we can consciously support ourselves through the experience, so we can come out the other side with more love, compassion and understanding for the self.

Have you ever noticed how much you take flight in your personal or professional life to avoid feeling something that makes you feel very uncomfortable?Taking flight, as the fight and freeze response is a survival mechanism alerting us to danger, a response that is needed to keep us safe from harm. However, as women, we have been conditioned from a very early age to ignore, avoid or suppress our emotional and somatic intelligence and as a result, taking flight has become a default pattern created from unprocessed wounding, trauma or conditioning. We take flight because something or someone has triggered a challenging emotion relating to the original trauma that we do not want to feel as it threatens our sense of safety, security and stability and so we will do anything to distract ourselves from it. We will disassociate from the body, the wound and the emotion and turn our attention to anything and everything from food, drugs and alcohol to scrolling through social media, watching Netflix or buying things we don't really need. Then there are the more impactful ways we take flight like leaving a relationship before it gets too serious because we are afraid of going a step deeper or flitting from place to place, home to home, because we may be afraid of becoming too attached. The more we take flight, the more we check out of our bodies and sever the deep connection to self and our intuition, reacting to the trauma and not responding from a heart-centred place. We will then fall into deeper patterns of procrastination, judging, blaming and shaming ourselves for not being able to move forward or get things done the way we wanted to.In this episode, I share with you my own journey of taking flight from the deep instability I have felt since early childhood as a response to my core wounding of abandonment, a response that has ultimately impacted my life and relationships. After decades of exploring this hidden side of my female psyche, I share what I have learned and steps we can take to come back into the body and de-armour the flight response so we can learn how to feel safe in the body, feel safe in the feeling of our emotions and finally find resolution to the unresolved wounding, trauma and conditioning we are holding onto that no longer serves our highest and greatest good. With Love, Nicola x 

As women, we have been conditioned to invest our time, energy and love in the external world to give us a sense of our stability - our families, friends and intimate relationships, our education, society and our careers, even our homes, the money in our bank accounts and the material lifestyle we create for ourselves including all the sentimental possessions we fill our lives with.However, to maintain this sense of stability, we need to continuously perform and conform to a set of undisclosed predetermined rules, feeding the stability of the other to feed the stability of the self and often compromising our own needs and boundaries in the process. Then the world shifts on an axis, someone dies, illness or accidents knock at our door, a relationship breaks down, either personal or professional breaks down that threatens our identity, our homes or careers, or something out of our control, like Covid, happens and suddenly we don't feel very stable anymore. In fact, we feel very unstable, our foundation is shaken to its core and we have an identity crisis, making us question who we are, where are we going and what is our purpose in the world. In this episode, I share with you my own journey of finding stability within the instability, what I learned from it and how I now help other women to find their way back to a deep sense of connection and stability in themselves, without investing all of themselves in an unstable and ever-changing world.  With Love, Nicola x➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions

Who are you truly without what or who you identify with? “We need to tap into who we are beneath the surface to be able to then show up as our authentic selves.”Tapping into our true feminine nature is about being present within the self, so we can live, love and relate from an authentic place. However, our identity has been created for us, according to the boxes we have been conditioned to fit into even though they don't align with who we are. We have sacrificed our needs and boundaries creating an internal conflict within our female psyche. This is, however, being turned around by COVID giving us permission as women to come back into more of our internal rhythm and be more productive. To know your identity, you have to learn how to practice discipline and discernment in a way that honours your true feminine nature through self-awareness and self-care, honouring your needs and boundaries so you can create healthy habits that respect who you truly are beneath the surface.

Do You Trust What Your Body is Telling You, or Do You Ignore, Reject or Suppress These Vital Messages That Are Signalling Something is Out of Balance?Everything that we are, all our power, our pain and our potential exists in the body. Who we are as women exist in the body. Who we are at the very root of our true nature exists in the body and in our relationship to our body.Learning to trust in the body is not easy, as the relationship we have with our body and our emotions has been conditioned through the idealism of perfection by society creating the great disconnect and the suppression of our true and innate nature. To return home into our body, to be fully present within it so we can understand the true depth of who we are as women we will need to change the narrative from the inside out and this starts with learning to listen to the needs and manifestations of the body from a place of heart-centred trust and acceptance. In This Episode You Will Explore:1) How we have been conditioned by society through the idealism of perfection2) How we judge and compare ourselves to others and the nature of performing, conforming and pleasing others3) The suppression of trust and ownership of our true nature4) Changing the narrative we have with our bodies through listening and responding5) How are bodies are communicating to us at every given moment through the emotions and symptoms that are manifested and what we can do to explore what is out of balance. 6) The nature of dis-eases and dis-orders and redefining the relationship we have with them7) Reclaiming of personal power and trust through deep conversation with the body and emotions.With Love, Nicola xGET EXTRA JOURNAL PROMPTS HERE➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions

Do You Trust Yourself More to Do What's Right For You or Do You Trust More What Others Tell You is Right?In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring the Trust Wound, and how this one aspect is the most fundamental foundation block of our personal power, and yet is the one aspect that is most often knocked out of sync from the moment we are born. It is our immediate family and caregivers, and the environment in which we grow up that shapes and informs our relationship with trust. As we grow through life, we tend to trust others more, than our own judgment simply because we really don't know how to trust ourselves as we've never been taught. When we learn how to trust ourselves, our whole lives change and the way in which we relate with others changes too, as we have more inner confidence to practice discernment and act on our own intuition.

In today's episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring Dream Work as one of the great tools of Shadow Work.Most of us dream whether we are conscious of them or not, and when we learn how to work with our dreams they become a valuable resource to help us explore the hidden side of our female psyche. While our dreams can be either weird, scary, meaningful, delightful or just plain nonsense, they hold clues which rise from the depth of our unconscious while our ego is asleep and our bodies are going through its daily process of rest and recuperation. Each clue, when we learn how to interpret them, shows us what is asking for our attention that is now seeking resolution so we can break out of our limitations and move forward with more balance and harmony in our lives and relationships.

Are you navigating a relationship breakdown through its limitations so you can experience more of it's potential?In this episode of The Feminine Principle Podcast, I'm exploring the complex dynamics of navigating a relationship breakdown, an aspect of our lives that can be deeply painful and traumatic, as we have to face the part of ourselves that fears being honest because we are afraid of being rejected or rejecting and hurting the other.Yet, the relationship breaks down because we have reached a limitation within the self and within the relationship and the shadow is fully activated, on an individual and relationship level. This challenges us to separate from the relationship dynamic so we can reclaim a sense of identity, giving us the opportunity to practice honesty and explore whether there is still potential in the relationship from love, dreams and desires.With Love, Nicola x➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions

In this episode, I'm exploring the Madwoman Archetype, and how she shows up in our lives and in our relationships. The Madwoman Archetype is one we all know too well as she manifests in the thin line between sanity and insanity, pushing us to the very edges of our psyche. While the Madwoman Archetype is identified as destructive, sabotaging our relationships and our potential, she is also a source of great power informing us what is out of balance on the inside that now needs resolution so her creative fire can manifest as her driving force.With Love,Nicola x➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessions

Are Your Boundaries Balanced Or Are They Blocking Your Potential?In this episode, I'm exploring how to understand our boundaries to reach our greatest potential. Boundaries are an innate survival tool that allows us to filter what we allow into our lives. While boundaries are necessary, we explore how those same boundaries can block us from our greatest potential and how we can overcome them with self-love, self-care, and respect, and how they put a strain on the relationship we have with ourselves and with others.

In today's episode I'm joined by Imelda Almqvist, International Teacher of Shamanism and Sacred Art who has published two books: Natural Born Shamans: A Spiritual Toolkit for Life (Using shamanism creatively with young people of all ages) in 2016 and Sacred Art: A Hollow Bone for Spirit (Where Art Meets Shamanism) in 2019. She has presented her work on both The Shift Network and Sounds True. She appears in a TV program titled Ice Age Shaman, made for the Smithsonian Museum, in the series Mystic Britain talking about Neolithic arctic deer shamanism. Her third book, Medicine of the Imagination (Dwelling in possibility) will be published by Moon Books in 2020.Imelda was a presenter on the Shamanism Global Summit in both 2016 and 2017 and on Year of Ceremony with Sounds True. She is a regular presenter on The Shamanic Path with Sounds True. She appears in a TV program made for the Smithsonian Channel (the series is called Mystic Britain) about the Mesolithic site Star Carr in Yorkshire talking about arctic deer shamanism! Imelda divides her time between the UK, Sweden and the US. She has just finished her third book “Medicine of the Imagination: Dwelling in Possibility” and she is currently working on her fourth book, about the pre-Christian spirituality of The Netherlands.We are discussing how Inner Work / Shadow Work is a vital part of our human journey and how we all have a responsibility to take an active part in it to make the necessary shifts needed in the external world, and how external activism has to be matched with inner activism.We also look at the role of the ancestors and how they give us a map for what we are currently experiencing, individually and collectively and what they can teach us about where and who we are now.Imelda shares some of her own stories of working with the Shadow Self, how she engages with it in her relationships with her family. She also believes that Shadow Work "should be like brushing our teeth or washing our hair or whatever it's like a form of spiritual and psychological hygiene" and that it needs to be on the curriculum in schools, as the younger generations are going to be the "doctors, the politicians, the nature keepers, and the earth keepers of the future".CONTACT IMELDA ALMQVISTWebsite – http://www.shaman-healer-painter.co.uk/Email – imelda.almqvist@gmail.comFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/imelda.almqvistBOOKS BY IMELDANatural Born Shamans: A Spiritual Toolkit for LifeSacred Art: A Hollow Bone for Spirit➤ GET YOUR FREE PLAYBOOK – Master Your Emotional Triggers in Your Relationships - https://thefeminineprinciple.com/master-emotional-triggers-in-your-relationships➤ WORK WITH ME – Unlock the Hidden Side of Your Potential with the 1:1 Shadow Work for Women Programmes https://thefeminineprinciple.com/one-to-one-shadow-work-coaching-sessionsWith Love, Nicola x
