In this episode of the Women's Sanctuary podcast, host Arlia Hoffman had an in-depth conversation with Patty Farinola of the Awareness Studio about her unique, holistic approach to counseling and therapy, which integrates psychology and spirituality.   Patty shared insights into her program 'Serenity, Power, and Freedom,' her journey from corporate marketing to spiritual counseling, and the importance of addressing common relationship themes such as entering relationships for the wrong reasons, feeling 'not good enough,' and the necessity for professional guidance.   Patty also discussed her use of the Tree of Life astrology in her counseling practice and its alignment with aspects of the Enneagram, providing a comprehensive perspective on clients' consciousness and life lessons. She offered tips for improving relationships and the relevance of holistic healing practices for achieving spiritual and emotional well-being. About Patty: You have probably heard the saying, “The quality of your life is directly related to the quality of your relationships.” Whether at work or at home, in business or in love, relationships can be both profoundly fulfilling and extremely challenging. The difference between the two depends on your ability to communicate graciously and effectively, reduce emotional reactivity, and increase trust and appreciation. Patty helps people turn relationship pain into power and purpose by identifying old, unproductive habits and replacing them with new, soul-satisfying ones to create, as Brené Brown says, “courage, compassion, and connection.” What makes Patty unique is her holistic approach, which includes counseling and coaching, assessments and astrology, and universal spiritual principles to bring clients to new levels of happiness through better, more successful relationships. For example, Patty has helped single women become happily married, she has counseled married couples to improve communication and connection, and assisted people in addiction recovery in having healthy sober relationships. Patty started her professional career in the corporate world, gaining experience in a variety of fields including sales, marketing, finance, technology, and executive management with industry leading Fortune 100 corporations and privately held firms. She worked for such companies as Coca-Cola, Bank South (now Bank of America), and S1 Corporation (now ACI Worldwide). Her last position was Managing Director of Marketing for Georgia Natural Gas. Patty left corporate to pursue her life's work, which combines individual and couples counseling, and spiritual direction to help people address life's challenges, transitions, goals and events. With a focus on the journey to self-awareness, inner peace, and personal power, her work with clients covers a variety of areas, including addiction and codependence recovery and creating happy and healthy love relationships. She holds a Masters in Sacred Theology (STM). Website About The Women's Sanctuary The Women's Sanctuary was founded in 2014 as a haven for women to be in community.

In this episode of the Women's Sanctuary podcast, host Arlia Hoffman discusses the concept of the Fierce Feminine and the Feminine Warrior Archetype. She illustrates how this archetype differs from conventional warrior notions and navigates through the feminine journey of self-discovery, healing, and reclaiming one's identity.  Arlia draws parallels between the chakras and the aspects of the feminine warrior, ranging from grounding and identity in the root chakra, to wisdom and intuition in the 6th chakra, to surrender to the divine in the crown chakra. She highlights how this builds resilience in the face of current global challenges and emphasizes the need for collective support and community in leading transformation. The episode concludes with an open invitation for listeners to join Arlia in developing their own inner feminine warrior. The Women's Sanctuary Podcast is hosted and produced by Arlia Hoffman.

Arlia Hoffman offers words of encouragement during these tumultuous days of late 2022.  She reminds us how to stay centered, how to remember what matters, and WHO matters in difficult times. When loss comes our way, Arlia says, "Grieve what leaves, focus on what follows". When grief takes us to the charnel ground of loss and dissolution, it feeds something new. It is key to grieve in the present, and yet focus on what is being born, what is ripe inside you to come forth in the space created. Finally, she reminds us that we've got this, together.

(Doctor of Ministry) is a spiritual companion, grief counselor, certified dream work facilitator, bodyworker and a well-resourced guide into the depths of Self where we access our jewels of transformation and soul growth. Her work involves spiritual companioning that includes deep listening, dialogue, somatic awareness, embodied movement practices and the exploration of dream material that is symbolically represented through our sleeping and waking dreamscapes.   Robyn's broad background of body-mind healing and movement-centered work includes Biosomatics, inspiration from 5Rhythms Dance®, SomaSource®, and Authentic Movement, along with her long-time passion as a dancer and soul-centered mover.  A broad array of dream perspectives, Jungian and depth psychology, indigenous and interspiritual wisdom also deeply inform Robyn's work.   Robyn's professional career began early on as a Physical Therapist with the intention of integrating body healing and emotional tending.  After the loss of her mother to cancer in 1989 and her own diagnosis of cancer in 1995, she was drawn much more deeply into the world of inner healing, spirituality and grief work which led to the completion of her doctorate degree in 2006.  A number of subsequent losses, transitions and healing crises throughout her adult life has deepened her commitment to the social transformation of how we process and integrate grief and loss through the portal of resilience, for the sake of both personal and collective evolution.  A very powerful and active dream life has been a huge inspiration and source of guidance throughout her life.  Her passion for dreams, Jungian and archetypal studies, soulfully embodied movement practices, and all things depth oriented, has fueled her ever-expanding quest for consciousness.

Jessica described her experience of this wound that led her to her own awareness and healing, and subsequently to hold space for other women to move through it.
