What does it look like to be current and liberated in your storytelling work? Can you taste the potency, joy, life, and potential of your medicine? In this episode with Megan Febuary, we talk about the power of story as world-building work and how when we allow ourselves to honor our bodies in the creation process, we grant ourselves the opportunity to draft works that offer powerful medicine that is joyous to create and relevant to this time. In this episode we explore: Growing our capacity to create new stories. How a trauma-sensitive approach to storytelling opens us to up to flow and the power of our voices. Stepping into the true power of being a storyteller in this day. How the work of transforming ideas into digestible forms, especially through the lens of a trauma-informed approach, is the work of wonder, power, and magic. Human Design as a language for style, rhythm, voice, and the true expression Practical ways to use Human Design to support discipline and self-expression in the creative process.

WHO I WORK WITH: I partner with business owners, executives, and those with high pressure targets. HOW IT WORKS: We start with a free strategy call. If we agree that we're a good fit, we'll diary three sessions, usually about a week apart. WHAT OTHERS SAY: "I’d been drinking alcohol on a regular basis for several decades, always thinking I’d stop one day. I heard about Paul’s work and decided to give it a try. What did I have to lose? After years of struggling with my issue, I was blown away with how easy it was to change. Paul has a calming, grounded energy and I immediately felt at ease in his presence. Despite the obvious apprehension prior to my first session, I was able to totally relax and be in the moment from the outset. The urge to drink alcohol literally disappeared overnight. There were a few fleeting moments where I thought about it briefly, but these soon faded once the change was embedded into my subconscious. The whole process took a mere 3 weeks, which I found astounding. I would thoroughly recommend Paul as a practitioner for making positive changes in your life. He was incredibly supportive during the process. I didn’t need any help between sessions, but he offers this as part of the service. At the end he even guided me through the methods I could use on myself for any other change work I wanted to do. I have tried this at home and it works. As a result, I feel empowered to create further change and steer ever closer to my life goals. Thank you Paul, you have changed my life for the better!"

As a storyteller, content curator, and art director, Megan's vision For Women Who Roar™ was born from a desire to see womxn's stories empowered and elevated.

Megan has been featured in magazines, podcasts, and panels around the power of voice. As a content curator and social media marketer, she has established several digital platforms with clear brand vision and content direction. Her passion for holding space for women to share their stories has shown itself through publications, hosting creative events and retreats, moderating panels and podcasts, as well as participating in art residencies. She is currently writing her first book that will be released in 2019.For Women Who Roar™ is a digital and print magazine featuring the voices, experiences, and art of women. If you consider yourself a women who roars, then this for you. The name was born from a poem written by Founder, Megan Febuary about the experience of being woman in a society that is scared of the female voice, power, and presence.“I know it scares you to see me get angry. To hear a woman scream and howl and lose her mind. But I've been told to be quiet most of my life. Voice muffled and whispering. So now I'm yelling every chance I get to make up for the silence. Like a lion. Let lose from her cage. Roaring and free.”This poem was the starting point to a much bigger and expansive vision, something all women could be a part of building together through the power of storytelling.When I came across For Women Who Roar, I immediately was inspired by the sacred, powerful community and the openness of expression. It felt like home, and after following for a while I finally plucked up the courage to ask Megan on the podcast. The Ground Up was born from a love of storytelling and the power it creates, and this is the gift that Megan has created with For Women Who Roar. There were so many mic drop moments in this podcast, so grab your notebooks and be ready to be inspired.
