    I don't have time to integrate! I / you / they / the world must make sense! Oh, little mind, you need rest. You need emptiness. You need no-thing. And you need to let in the no-sense and stop trying to make meaning of everything. Because it is in the gaps: the long walks, while sudsing up in the shower, or while petting your purring cat that your brilliance will burst forth. And it is in the chaos and the disorder that something new will be born. So let's do nothing for no reason and see what arises.

    During this session, Kelly and I talk about her journey to discover her voice, truthtelling even when it's messy, and listening deeply to our intuition. We talk about how to let go of guilt, cheerlead ourselves, be in the Mystery, and how to be honest with ourselves even when it's challenging. As we re-emerge from this cacoon of quarantine life, how can we take those lessons back out into the world with mindfulness, ease, and courage? A little bit about Kelly Throughout Kelly's life, she's worn lots of different hats. She's worked in boardrooms and ashrams. She's blended two families and six children. She's brought women from more than 50 countries together in my passion for truthtelling and uplifting women's voices. She's a devoted mom, wife, friend, mentor, bestselling author, and businesswoman who knows that putting on your own oxygen mask is the best way you can model what it means to take care of yourself and others. These experiences are all a part of her—the good, the bad, and everything in between. She's messy, genuine, and perfectly imperfect. Find out more at her website: www.womenforone.com

    For the past thirty years plus I've been creating separation. On purpose. Because separation is a path of healing and reconciliation. We all have trauma, and hurt, and healing to do. Creating mindful separation is not a form of denial or something that is creating more destruction. My intent always always always is to speak truth, learn from past mistakes, name where we have been so we can choose where we are going. This 30-minute musing explores how to create good, healing, potent, magical separation.

    “Love yourself so much that when someone mistreats you, you recognize it.” This quote on the Warrior Goddess Inspiration page as been shared almost 10,000 times and liked over 27,000 times. It's one of our most popular memes. While this statement is true, it is also incomplete. Because it does not include the person who is probably mistreating you the most. Here is what we ponder in today's episode: Where are you mistreating yourself through self-judgment, comparison, sabotage, procrastination, pushing, overeating, addictions, overthinking, cycling or repressing your emotions, disliking your body, or any other ways that you abandon yourself? And how do you acknowledge how you mistreat yourself while also making clear, skillful, calm, fierce, firm, loving boundaries with others who are mistreating you?

    In this delightful, heart-felt conversation Marie and I talk about bringing your gifts to work, listening to your calling, learning to let go, and holding space for yourself when things get hard. https://mariembouni.com About Marie: My journey began with western medicine. After grueling years in medical school, I became an anesthesiologist, hoping to bring the peace and healing I felt called to bring. My drive for work was relentless, and I built a career many would be proud of—but inside I felt dead. I had given up personal relationships and my spiritual health, and my mind and body were paying for it.  My quest for self-discovery saved me. I embraced a new calling as a shaman, energy healer, and mentor to others seeking a similar path to enlightenment. I had a deep scientific understanding of what it meant to be human. I’ve studied and cared for the body for over 20 years. But opening myself to the power of the mind, the beauty of intuition, and the all-encompassing power of love changed me. I stepped into my destiny as a healer and embraced my potential beyond the confines of the mainstream.

    This time of year, when we are between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox (in the northern hemisphere), in the earth-based traditions of my ancestors was a time of reckoning and drawing on your reserves. Winter still has a strong hold on the land, even as we turn towards the Spring. At this time we stop to consider: what food do we need to save to get us through until the next planting and harvest cycles? How do we sustain ourselves through the darkness to come? The light may be growing each day, but how do we make it through the cold and barren time? This show, recorded on Candlemas, explores the three qualities of the Goddess Brigid: smith crafting, poetry, and healing and how they can help us keep our inner fire burning bright.
