Have you ever hesitated to lean in and play and think big with money? My guest today knows why. Dr. Valerie Rein has spent years working with high achieving women, women who want to have it all and thrive. But what she found in these clients, and eventually in herself, is that often when we’re getting ready to soar, our nervous system will hold us back, signaling to ourselves that we’re not safe. She’s named this response PSD: Patriarchy Stress Disorder. And through her research and over 20,000 hours as a therapist and coach, she’s created a process and new book to help break through it.

Show Notes [02:01] Patrick introduces his next REIN Member guest, Thembi Bheka. [03:31] Thembi and Patrick jump into their conversation and Thembi's long-lasting REIN Membership! [04:25] Thembi quick and easy elevator pitch followed by a little more detail about who she supports with her coaching. [05:43] Thembi shares the story of why she came to Canada from Zimbabwe and how her desire to empower other women led her to REIN and real estate investing. [07:09] How REIN gave Thembi the confidence to start investing and the community gave her the push she needed to really make an impact on other people's lives through coaching, mentoring and giving back. [09:49] Living in Zimbabwe at the age of 22, married for eight months and pregnant, Thembi discovers her husband's dishonesty. Her desperation to escape her situation drives her to take a chance on immigrating to Canada. [11:31] Why did Thembi choose Canada? [13:04] A Canadian program that funded Thembi's nursing education was a catalyst not only for changing her life but possibly saving it. [14:39] Thembi's mindset during this time was certainly rooted in survival but also flourished in gratitude to be in Canada and have abundant resources available to her. [15:44] After a difficult four-year separation from her daughter, Thembi was able to bring her to Canada, finish her nursing education and when she relocated to Edmonton, found REIN. [16:32] Thembi describes her journey into real estate, the inspiring story from a fellow nurse and investor which had her reach out and consequently join the REIN community. [18:24] How the Rapid Cash Program accelerated Thembi's confidence, knowledge, investing and wealth. [21:58] Thembi's passion to positively impact women in Zimbabwe was realistically not going to be through real estate but her training sparked another idea to increase income and quality of life for these women through their own business of being a Virtual Assistant. [25:17] By letting down her guard and sharing her story, Thembi created broader public speaking opportunities for herself. She wanted to reach her audience and allow them to understand what could be achieved by letting go of excuses.

How much do you enjoy your body? If you’re anything like me… Even the question itself would make me shut down and want to crawl under the covers. What do you mean, how much I enjoy my body? If I lost 10 lbs, I would enjoy it more. For years, my love for my body… Ahem… Not “love” — my tolerating of my body was completely conditional on whether that said body complied with and conformed to the expectations that I had of it. Which were really, really simple. Staying at the same constant “ideal” weight. And not aging. Really, is that too much to ask? It took me some time — and awareness of what I now call Patriarchy Stress Disorder — the trauma of 1000s of years of oppression and how it has shaped our relationships with ourselves, our bodies — among other things… To ask that question. My relationship with my body. My expectations of my body. Were they really… MINE… or were they issued by Patriarchy Press? You can probably guess the answer. Can you relate? Asking that question and confronting the truth of the answer was hugely liberating for me. It liberated me from the constant war against my body. It put me on the path of healing my relationship with her. No longer an IT, but a HER. And she — she has been so grateful. She’s been waiting for my to truly see her and truly love her, unconditionally, just the way she is — for close to 40 years. No matter how many years it’s been for you and her, your body, it’s never too late. Our brilliant guest Bernadette Pleasant shares on this episode of Her Success Radio some deep wisdom of embodiment and healing through authentic movement. She’s glorious and gorgeous. But she wasn’t always this free, this confident, this comfortable in her own skin. It’s hard to believe, looking at her now. So don’t take my word for it. Listen to Bernadette share her story on this episode. And please leave us a comment: What stayed with you from our conversation? The first question I asked Bernadette was, “When you first read the words, Patriarchy Stress Disorder, what did you feel and what did you think?” Bernadette Pleasant: “It just felt so incredibly aligned. I’ve read that and I’ve thought, ‘Whoa, it’s certainly a condition.’ So, how brilliant of you to call it that… I personally saw that and I thought, ‘Oh yeah, I get that. I see that every day.’ I personally have experienced it and I see it in so many people. How they’re shut down and how they are reacting. There are just so many ways of how this disorder affects our lives and how there’s a need to heal. So quite honestly, it just felt so aligned and clear. A sad truth, but naming something — you know how important it is to name something — because then you can do something about it… It’s an awareness of something that exist, and therefore — what can we do about it?” We talked about how Patriarchy Stress Disorder manifests in it feeling unsafe for us to show up in our full authentic expression of our emotions, feel connected with ourselves and others, feel confident and comfortable in our own skin, and live bright, shiny lives — as the bright, shiny beings we came into this world as. We talked about Bernadette’s personal journey and how she created Femme! — her brilliant body of work — out of her own need to liberate. How a repressed emotional range leads to disempowerment and under-living, under-enjoying all areas of live — or, as Bernadette calls it, half-assing your emotions and your life. May our conversation serve as validation of your experience of feeling under-expressed, under-powered in this patriarchal culture and inspiration for re-powering yourself by getting in touch with your body, your emotions — and reclaiming them. Please tune in and give your precious body the gift of your unconditional love for her.
In this episode I interview psychologist, author, and speaker, Dr. Valerie Baker who pioneers healing Patriarchy Stress Disorder™ (PSD)--the trauma of 1000s of years of oppression imprinted in women's DNA. Dr. Valerie calls PSD the invisible inner prison that keeps women from experiencing their ultimate success and happiness. In over 20,000 hours of her work as a therapist and coach to successful women, Dr. Valerie has guided thousands of women's PSD jailbreaks. She helps high-achieving women who're sick and tired of sacrificing their health, sanity, and love lives to heal PSD so they can finally marry their professional and personal success and happiness--and fully enjoy it. ********** Discover how Patriarchy Stress Disorder™ (PSD) is affecting you: www.psdandme.com Ready for your PSD jailbreak?

My sister in success, you’ve been working so hard and achieved so much. And yet somehow you still feel like you’re failing. Failing at meditation, mindfulness, and self-care. Failing at playing big, fully stepping into your power, and manifesting unlimited financial abundance. Failing at creating a deeply fulfilling relationship, failing at motherhood, failing at reaching your goal weight, optimal physical health and mindset, mental and emotional freedom. Sometimes it feels like you’re at war with your body and mind, at war with yourself, and you just can’t win. Before you reach for another self-help book or enroll in one more personal development course, let me tell you that it’s not your fault. There’s a missing link to women’s ultimate happiness and success that therapists, counselors, coaches, spiritual leaders, personal growth programs, and self-help books don’t talk about. In my over 20,000 hours of practice as a therapist, I’ve seen this missing link at play in every woman — unrelenting yet unrecognized. With such overwhelming evidence, I realized that I had discovered a legitimate condition — an expression of the intergenerational trauma of 1000s of years of oppression of women by the patriarchal culture imprinted in our minds, bodies, our nervous systems, our DNA. A condition that deeply and profoundly affects our thoughts and emotions, choices and behaviors and holds us back from claiming our ultimate happiness and success. I named this condition Patriarchy Stress Disorder™ Today, I’m excited to share with you my cutting edge discovery in this audio training — Part 1 of a series of audio trainings I’ll be releasing on this topic weekly. In this episode, you’ll discover: What Patriarchy Stress Disorder is Why as a Psychologist, I believe that all women are affected by it Why it is so important to our health, relationships and finances to recognize it How it may be affecting you You’ll also hear me share some personal stories of discovering how PSD was affecting me through ruptures in my marriage and health. I’d love to hear from you. How is PSD affecting you? Which of the 2 types of trauma response are you experiencing: Freeze (feeling stuck) or Fight / Flight (running high levels of stress — sometimes without even realizing it — pushing till it breaks). How is this trauma response play out in your business, relationships, finances, health? Please tell me in the comments on this episode's page. For more revolutionary success and happiness breakthroughs, please join my free Facebook group. If you found this episode valuable, please share it with your friends. I’ll answer your comments and questions in the next part of this series next week!

You know how there are some people you meet who transform your life? Just one meeting can transform your life. Dorcy Pruter is one of those people. When I met her, I nicknamed her “The Good Witch.” She is so powerful in her presence. She is so astute, she's an intuitive coach, she's a serial entrepreneur. But these words really don't do her justice. This is one of those interviews that you simply must experience, because the experience itself, the experience of being in her energy is transformative. We talked about so many things. We talked about the obstacles that she had to overcome and she's facing right now on her success journey. We talked about her being a reluctant hero and really resisting going into the business and service that was her calling. She really didn't want to do it. Now 12 years later, her business has created a blueprint for reuniting families that gets court-mandated all over the world. The ripples of the good that she's creating in the world are incredible. We talk about parenting, we talk about conscious parenting. We talk about the inner child. If you grew up with a single parent, if your parents went through a divorce, if you're going through a divorce yourself or know somebody who is going through a divorce, it's a must, must, must listen to. You will learn so much as I have today. Oh, by the way, Dorcy has amazing initiatives to help beginner entrepreneurs and to help coaches who want to learn a powerful method, a powerful blueprint, and are called to work in the area of healing relationships between divorced parents and their children. Such deep healing of such deep raptures and so much good in the world. Let me delay you no longer. Please enjoy this fantastic interview.

I just finished interviewing Sarah Drew, the author of Gaia Codex, a fascinating, enchanting book that speaks directly to the soul. Somehow the message of the book completely bypasses the rational and speaks directly to your subconscious, your body. Don't take my word for it. Check it out. Below you'll find a link to a free gift from Sarah. And also a link to her site where you can find out more about her book and the message. And of course I hope that you will listen to the interview. It really blew me away. And those of us who are more into the woo, will appreciate that at some point during the interview when Sarah was talking about something really important, this gorgeous blue light shot across the screen and stayed there. I didn't comment on it during the interview. I thought "Well for the off chance there’s something wrong with my screen." After the interview Sarah and I chatted about that. She certainly saw it too, and you can see it on video. And you can find out what we were talking about when the presence of this light made itself visible. And interestingly enough, the light is the color of the butterfly that stands for metamorphosis. That's the central theme of the book. I can't resist, I wanna give you a taste of this wonderful read. "When a priestess is truly seated on her throne, she realizes that she carries the throne within her. Our bodies are the temple of our souls. To be seated on the throne is to be well placed inside our own sacred chambers deeply grounded into the root of mother earth, well seated in the center of our belly as we connect to the stars and the sky and let the goddesses' inspiration, her words and actions flow through us." The book just holds you in this state of fascination and the remembrance of who you truly are. And it unfolds page after page. In our interview we talked about how a woman remembers who she truly is. How she taps into that unique wisdom that has been entrusted to her and her alone and how she learns to courageously live from that place and bring that unique wisdom to the table. Bring her unique piece of the puzzle and place it where it belongs in the fabric of life. We had such a delicious conversation and I hope you join us. Please share your biggest take away or questions for me or Sarah in the comments below.

What blew me away in Vivian’s interview If you're having self-doubt, if you're having thoughts like, "Who am I to do this," if you have this calling inside you that you've been holding yourself back from acting on, thinking, "Well, maybe I'm not enough, maybe I can't change the world," if you have a personal story that's full of pain and maybe shame and suffering, you've got to listen to this episode of Her Success Radio with Vivian Glyck. This woman will snap you out of this with her story. This episode moved me so deeply, and I'll tell you why in a moment. I'm Dr. Valerie, the host of Her Success Radio, talking to you about the episode called The Women That We Can Become: Do The Next Right Thing, with Vivian Glyck. Vivian is the founder of Just Like My Child Foundation, so for the past 11 years, she has been doing this thing. When people ask her what it is that she does for a living, she says, "I can't believe this, but I save babies in Africa.” So no small feat. Her foundation has accomplished amazing milestones, saved thousands of lives through education, mentorship, healthcare, micro-enterprise—phenomenal accomplishments. And it all started with Vivian's personal story, and she goes very deeply into her personal story. After she gave birth to her son Zak, and then her heart just broke open as a mother, she became so connected with the suffering of other children, and all these statistics and all this information kept coming her way about the suffering of children in Africa. Just as an example, something I learned from her, that the number one cause of death of adolescent girls in the U.S. is suicide, and the number one cause of death of adolescent girls in Uganda is childbirth, so very acute suffering, and she was pulled to do this work, but check this out. She was living a very comfortable life in sunny California. She didn't have to do any of that. Do you ever find yourself in that place where you're like, "You know, I have this great idea. I'm thinking of this, but you know what? I don't have to do this." And you give yourself that out, so she didn't have to do any of this, but at the same time, she had to do this, and the way she explains it is that that pain that she was feeling became greater than the pleasure of the comfort, and so she went to Africa, and everybody thought that she lost her mind. And you may think that running a charity, everybody opens the door for you and opens their wallets, everybody wants to support you, but I was shocked when Vivian shared real-life day-to-day obstacles that she has to deal with, so every day is difficult. She has to overcome things to make things happen. I asked her this question I really want to know the answer to, "How come she hasn't quit? How come she hasn't quit despite all these obstacles?" And here's what she said: She compared her business, her mission, with her child, and that really went in so deep in my heart when I heard that. She said, "How do I give up on my own child? I just can't do it. I can never walk away and say, 'I'm sorry. This is just too difficult.'" So she says, "I'm a mama lion…” and every woman is a mama lion, whether or not you've awakened to that powerfully or not. “I'm here to protect, I'm here to take care, I'm here to do good, but don't get in my way If you're looking for that inspiration, tune into this episode with Vivian, and you will learn so much wisdom from her, as I've learned. When I asked her what advice she would give to a woman who is starting out with her mission, with her message, she said, "Number one, disabuse yourself from the thought that you can't make an impact." So important. And number two, "Do the next right thing." And if you want to know more, she really goes deeply into her story and into what she means by the next right thing, that you can hear on the episode. You can find us on iTunes, Her Success Radio, and look for the episode with Vivian. Such powerful words. "God is waiting for us to do the next right thing," she said. She said, "Let's get this business of handling ourselves handled. All this business of handling our weight, our looks, our image, whatever we get busy with, because God is waiting for us to do the next right thing." How does this land for you? It landed so powerfully for me. Another huge nugget, huge takeaway, was about confidence. She said, "The second you get a girl into service, which is really what she wants to do, that stuff about her self-esteem falls away." And I pointed out to her that most of us are waiting for that magic confidence pill, or we're doing these confidence trainings to get the confidence to act on our mission and to be in service, but what Vivian is saying is the other way around. You get a girl into service, that's what she needs, that's what she really wants, and then confidence issues are no longer issues, so don't take our word for it, try it. Vivian says that, as a result of being in service, the chatter in her brain has stopped: “Am I good enough? Am I this enough?” I mentioned in the beginning, if you have some pain, some shame, some difficulties in your personal story, that maybe you're not going there fully because it's just too painful. Consider how you can use this as fuel, because it's your wounds that show the way. It's your wounds that reveal your why, reveal your mission, and Vivian went right there. She shared about incredible suffering that she experienced. Her whole family, her parents being Holocaust survivors, her dad, who was abusive to her mom and her, and her being sexually abused by him till age 14, when she stood up and she spoke up and liberated, not only herself, but her mother. And now she's liberating these countless girls, and she wouldn't have been able to do it had she not found her voice and transmuted the energy of that pain into the energy of that passion and service. [Tweet "Your wounds reveal your Why" Dr. Valerie on Her Success Radio] If you're looking for inspiration and that fuel for your own mission, you will find it in this episode. I'm going to leave you with a couple of thoughts about Vivian's mission, and why it is so important, and it's so easy for us to support. It is so easy. It will blow your mind. She is doing the heavy lifting. Her team on the ground is doing the heavy lifting too, and here's what she says, "The difference between a girl needing to sell her body in order to generate what she needs, because it's the only asset she has, is $10 a month. For her to get menstrual pads, to get to and from school, to contribute to her family, is $10 a month.” Whatever your mission is, I hope you find your inspiration and your power, and pick up amazing wisdom tips from Vivian from this episode.
