There is something to be said for the personal power and wisdom that we all hold inside of us. Did you know that that power started before we were even conceived? Join me as I sit down with Sama Morningstar to discuss our inner power and where it stems from. Sama founded the Womb Centered Healing Temple in 2018 as a collaborative space to support people of all genders to learn about the importance of our experiences in and of the womb, heal the wounds inflicted on all of us by the womb abuse and suppression of patriarchy, and reclaim the power of the traditions of womb reverence that predate the patriarchal system. Out of her own personal journey healing from early childhood trauma founded in the domination model of the relationship between men and women, she has emerged with a passionate devotion to remember, re-activate, and re-establish Womb Power as our center of personal power and inner guidance. She has received potent soul purpose visions about the importance of returning to a partnership model of relating with each other and with all beings and diligently applies this model to all of her relationships.

If you guys heard my rant a couple weeks ago about my health journey, then you guys will want to tune into this podcast today. I had the pleasure of chatting with Kenzie Groh, a coach for women that want to take back their health without restrictive dieting or hours in the gym. This interview was right up my alley and I hope you enjoy it as well. Make sure to give her a follow on Instagram while you're at it! https://www.instagram.com/kenzgroh/

Ya'll! Make sure to check out this podcast episode! I was able to Zoom chat with a gal that is not a superb military spouse, she also empowers women to take control of their careers. This week I chatted with April Wilhelm about how tough it can be on military spouses to find stable careers that allow them to move all over the world with their significant others. April came up with a solution for that and now teaches women how to own their career without doing sales or a direct marketing job. Ready for more? Give it a listen!

This week, I was able to interview that was not only in another country, someone who was across the world. How cool, right?! I'd like to introduce you to Candra Burns, her foundation was built by volunteering as a child. While attending college, she resurrected the Natural Resources Club, interned with a forestry company, Rayonier Inc., and joined Society of American Foresters in WA State (WSSAF). She currently develops creative media content across many social media platforms, offers online reputation management and monthly monitoring reports, researches content that promotes the sustainable use of wood, and coordinates social media efforts with many organizations. She realized her passion for media marketing through these efforts. She has been promoting building with wood since 2015 and documents Mass Timber buildings around Europe. She is a proud member of #forestproud and the Society of Wood Science and Technology. Her inspiration comes from the people who gave her hope and the people who give her hope for the future. These are the generous people who work every day to grow and help each other equally. Candra wishes to help others have a voice and build an online presence. She holds two associates degrees from Grays Harbor College and a Bachelor of Science from The Evergreen State College. She is a proud military spouse with the ability to work from anywhere in the world. What a STELLAR episode that was, thanks for tuning in everyone!

This interview was such a treat for me to do with my friend and peer professional, Danielle. I have known Danielle for about two years or so and met her through a networking group.

We talked about much more than just that, so give it a listen and let me know what you think! You can find more about Danielle and her business at https://www.temacupuncture.com/.
