October 19th marked the 13th anniversary of my dad's passing. It was a deeply profound day, as I experienced a revelation about my grief. I realized that to reach a healthier place with my grief, I needed to engage with it differently. For the past 13 years, I've held onto a level of consciousness regarding my grief that requires transformation. I've been wearing a cloak of identification with the narrative of someone who lost their parents too young, feeling like a victim and grappling with anger over both of my parents' deaths (my mom passed away five years ago). However, last Saturday, I realized to reach the next level of healing, I needed to cultivate a different relationship with my grief and my dad. While I'm unsure exactly what this new relationship looks like, I set an intention that day to let go and surrender, shifting from the mindset of “this happened to me” to a perspective of “this happened for me.” I aspire for my grief to embody more light than darkness, and to serve as a teacher rather than a burden. I want it to guide me toward humility and deeper wisdom. When grief resurfaces and I feel thesadness and loss in my bones, I wish to embrace it through my tears or screams, but not to identify solely with it.I share this journey because one woman who has profoundly influenced my understanding of grief is Elizabeth Lesser. I discovered her work around 11 years ago, shortly after my dad's death, when I read her book Broken Open. Every word resonated deeply and reassured me that I could survive this loss. This book radically changed my life, and I often gift it to those going through difficult transitions.The Cracking Open podcast has an exciting upcoming episode where, for the first time, I host a dual interview with Elizabeth and Mary Pipher to discuss a particular and profound issue for women (stay tuned for its release on November 21st!)Leading up to that episode's release, I will re-release their initial interviews with me so you can soak in their deep wisdom and charm. Whether it's the first time you've listened or a refresh, you are in for a treat.Elizabeth has touched millions through her bestselling books, including Cassandra Speaks: When Women Are the Storytellers, The Human Story Changes, Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow and Marrow: Love, Loss & What Matters Most.She co-founded the Omega Institute, a retreat and conference center in Rhinebeck, NY, dedicated to holistic education and social change movements, attracting over 30,000 participants annually. In 2008, she also helped Oprah Winfrey produce a 10-week online seminar based on Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, which reached more than 8 million viewers worldwide. Elizabeth is a frequent Oprah's Soul Series host and has appeared on Super Soul Sunday.Please enjoy this incredible conversation.

Choosing a word of the year is a tradition that so many of us practice at the start of each new year, but how often do we really think about the impact it could have beyond it being a name for our hopes? Today on the Prosperous Empath®, I sit down with two wonderful women and members of our UNBOUNDED Mastermind Community, Rebecca Arnold, executive & leadership coach; and Rebecca Eller-Molitas, adult education consultant, to discuss the practice of choosing your word of the year. Throughout our conversation, we share how you can use your word of the year as a touchstone to make better decisions, generate clarity, and hold yourself accountable. You'll take away bite-sized pieces of wisdom that will help you elevate your goal-setting and experience of life. Do you always wait until January to set new goals? Can you modify your word of the year throughout the year? Is it possible for words to carry feminine and masculine energies? These are just some of the questions that we untangle during the episode. Whether you're already set on your word of the year or are still in the process of choosing one (like me), I know you'll enjoy this conversation!   Topics: What having a word of the year means and how it can help you claim a new way of being in the next 12 months How to choose your word of the year and the process of landing on the right one for you How to attract more of what you want in 2024 for joy, confidence, and prosperity Reflections on our past words of the year and how they've impacted the course of our lives Navigating feminine and masculine energies that are rooted in words and language   Episode Resources: Join us on February 12th at 12pm ET for our monthly Non-Networking Power Hour for Empath Entrepreneurs with our UNBOUNDED Mastermind Community for deep connections and meaningful support.

In this episode, Keli talks about Project Reclamation's book club and its deep dive into how the fuck we got here in the very specific intersectional blend of patriarchy, white supremacy, Christian supremacy, etc. we find ourselves living in today. She talks about books the club has read so far, such as "When Women Ruled the World" by Kara Cooney and "Women and Other Monsters" by Jess Zimmerman, as well as upcoming books "Cassandra Speaks: When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes" by Elizabeth Lesser, "God Is a Black Woman" by Christena Cleveland, and "Fearing the Black Body" by Sabrina Strings.

CONTENT WARNING: This is a tender episode that discusses sexual trauma and the steps we are taking to heal ourselves. Please skip this episode if it does not serve your body. Welcome to SEX ED FOR YOU with Lauren & Holland: Where research meets reality! On our second episode we dive right into a discussion about our recent Hemlock Book Club where we discussed Elizabeth Lesser's book, Cassandra Speaks: When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes! Holland and I ask questions about blame, power, and what would happen if women told the stories! If you would like to know more about our HEMLOCK MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM, click here: https://sexedforyou.com/hemlock Holland defines blame as disgust in her body. Which leaves us wondering how YOU would define blame? At minute 7:25, Lauren asks about the fears we encounter as we step into our power. Does the fear of being liked keep you from stepping into your power? At minute 10:45 we are privileged enough to hear Holland tell a delicate piece of her story. TW: SA At minute 11:50 Holland shares a recent term she learned: DROP. Commonly used in BDSM and Kink communities, it refers to the time AFTER a scene or experience when the body's system stops producing morphine-like drugs, and as the parasympathetic nervous system kicks in again. One may feel a deep exhaustion, a sharp drop in temperature, as well as incoherence and un-coordination. The symptoms of drop will generally set in within 24-72 hours after an intense experience in which endorphins and adrenaline received a spike and thus will result in a crash with symptoms reminiscent of depression. For more information please follow: https://www.instagram.com/mx.sizzle_/ Holland shares the symbolism behind her tattoo, (check out the photo at minute 19:50!!) and the why behind her healing rituals. We discuss the power of differentiation and how so many things can be medicine or poison! The act of creating can redeem. Holland expounds on how writing poetry has been a healing modality in this season of healing and Lauren remembers how she learned to write haiku poetry in her Healing Rituals class in school! Lauren recently completed a healing ritual to release herself from specific misogynistic wounds. She shares what she wore, what she wrote, the responsibility it forced her to take for her own narrative. Holland shares a little about Stockholm syndrome and how she identifies with some of the symptoms she identifies with. Moving from survivor to thriver can be such a powerful choice for anyone who has been harmed - but it can ONLY be done when we are ready. Make sure to listen at minute 42:20 for the most BEAUTIFUL line from Holland's poem! Pain can be pleasurable and Holland is looking forward to it! This tattoo is bringing Holland from Powerless to POWERFUL. Interested in learning more about healing rituals? Click here to request a FREE 15-Minute Consult today! www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsult!

This episode is very close to my heart because (1) it was practically a download and (2) it is about stories, specifically women's stories, and why they matter.I want to dedicate this episode to a dear friend who believes her story doesn't matter, and to all the women who have shared their stories with me, only to later decide that they weren't worth telling.I'd like to start by recommending the book "Cassandra Speaks: When Women are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes." It's a powerful read that highlights the impact of the stories we tell on culture and how that has affected women.In this episode, I want to explore why your story matters. I'll share three reasons why I believe this to be true. We'll also look at some of the obstacles that might be preventing you from sharing your story, and how to reframe your thoughts around this.I want us all to agree that visibility is activism and that your voice matters.Visit my new website www.thebeauvoirgroup.comIf you loved this episode, please rate and review on iTunes!If you want support with your visibility head to www.thebeauvoirgroup.com or book a chat with me here I love to hear from you!

Welcome to our first episode of Season 2 of the Cracking Open Podcast!I first came across Elizabeth Lesser's work about 11 years ago after my dad died. I was in deep grief, and someone told me about her book Broken Open.  While reading it, every word made me feel like I was going to survive the death of my dad.  Broken Open radically changed my life and it is my go-to gift that I give to anyone who I know is going through a difficult transition in their life.  After reading her book, I attended the Women & Power Conference led by Elizabeth, at the Omega Institute, which she co-founded in 1977.  It was there that I met Elizabeth in person for the first time, and I immediately felt her deep wisdom and open heart. To me, Elizabeth's life is a beautiful metaphor of the phoenix rising.  She opens her heart and story to all of us around how she has been broken open (the ending of her marriage, the death of her sister) and how these burning moments have invited her to die in order to rise from their ashes.Elizabeth is a New York Times bestselling author of several books, including Cassandra Speaks: When Women are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes; Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow and Marrow: Love, Loss & What Matters Most and The Seekers Guide.As if this wasn't enough, in 2008 she helped Oprah Winfrey produce a 10-week online seminar based on Eckhart Tolle's book A New Earth. The webinar was viewed by more than 8 million people worldwide.  She's also a frequent host on Oprah's Soul Series, a weekly radio show on Sirius XM, and a guest on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday.  In 2011, she gave a popular Ted Talk called Take “the Other” to Lunch, a call for civility and understanding as we negotiate differences as human beings. I could spend hours just talking about her incredible accomplishments. But to me, Elizabeth is ultimately a woman who can ignite one's soul.  To not only feel seen and heard but also to be a better human being on this spiritual journey we call life. Please enjoy this incredible conversation.  Get yourself a cup of tea, grab a notebook and pen, and gift yourself this hour to soak in Elizabeth's storytelling, her wisdom, and her life.  Welcome to Season 2!  I'm so glad you have arrived.Learn more about Elizabeth Lesser here: https://www.elizabethlesser.org/Learn more about Omega Institute here:https://www.eomega.org/Learn more about Molly Carroll here: https://molly-carroll.com/Get your free Body Emotion Map: https://mollycarrollprograms.com/mapFree Monthly Training: https://mollycarrollprograms.com/freetrainingFind me on SocialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mollycarrollinc/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Molly-Carroll-Writes-420796934793507/ 

Elizabeth Lesser's resume is enough to leave anyone in awe; but even more than the things she has done, it's how she shows up to this conversation that left the greatest impression.This conversation centers on Lesser's book 2020 book, Cassandra Speaks: When Women Are The Storytellers, The Human Story Changes. This book became a cornerstone to creating IT ALL Media, and when KLG reached out via a cold LinkedIn message to the one and only Queen E, and she said, "fuck yeah," it was the ultimate pinch me moment.We talk macro and micro - from the ancient myths that got us here (we're talking to you, Eve), all the way to our own personal FIA moments that have been defining moments in our lives. Topics range: divorce, the brave women of USA gymnastics, career transitions, motherhood, answering a calling, intuition, Greek mythology, and Oprah. Buckle up, it's one hell of a ride.

Today's guest is Elizabeth Lesser, bestselling author of classics like Broken Open, and co-founder of the Omega Institute, an internationally recognized retreat center, renowned for its workshops and conferences in wellness, spirituality, creativity, and social change. Throughout her life, Elizabeth has been somewhat of a doula for people in transition, for those who are looking for answers to some of life's biggest questions—she helps them cross chasms, simply by pointing out the path “The obviousness of something that has been with us forever and must change, is often the most painful part”, she says. Lesser joins me today to talk about her newest book, Cassandra Speaks: When Women are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes, which interrogates the way in which our origin tales and hero myths, where men are the prototype human, continue to influence our culture. She reminds us that these old stories are only half natural, and challenges us to activate, fund, and educate the emotional and caring nature we all possess, to face our shadows in order to recreate an Eden in which there is room for everyone.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Women, storytelling, and paying attention to the world within us Elevating the importance of the caretaker Changing systems, changing self MORE FROM ELIZABETH LESSER: Omega Institute Cassandra Speaks Broken Open Marrow The Seeker's Guide Follow Elizabeth on Instagram  and Twitter DIG DEEPER: Biobehavioral Responses to Stress in Females: Tend-and-Befriend, Not Fight-or-Flight - Shelley Taylor, UCLA In the Bonobo World, Female Camaraderie Prevails - NYT, Natalie Angier Learn more about your ad choices.

In this first episode, Caitlin explains why resting is one of the most seditious things we can do in this culture, and how that is especially true for women. Plus, some fun facts about lions!*Please note that when Caitlin talks about "culture" in this episode, she is referring to the mainstream, capitalist culture of the United States. Inherent in many cultures around the world are healthy rhythms for rest and play, work and leisure. Those natural rhythms have largely been neglected and pushed aside in the U.S. in favor of fueling the economic powers that be.  Resources mentioned:Kirstin Hotelling Zona - kirstinhotellingzona.comCassandra Speaks: When Women are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes by Elizabeth Lesser - www.elizabethlesser.org  "Rest for Success" on The Gathering Pod by Martha Beck  https://marthabeck.com/gathering-pod/rest-for-success/Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781501144318Covid-19's Disproportionate Impact on Women - National Women's Law Center: https://nwlc.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Final_NWLC_Press_CovidStats.pdf Covid-19's Disproportionate Impact on Women in regards to childcare - Pew Research: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/01/26/a-rising-share-of-working-parents-in-the-u-s-say-its-been-difficult-to-handle-child-care-during-the-pandemic/Lion Sleeping Habits - Sibuya Game Reserve: https://www.sibuya.co.za/2017/01/20/lion-sleeping-habits/To Book a Discovery Call with Caitlin - revolutionrest.org

Even as a kid, my guest, Elizabeth lesser was the rebel, the activist, the feminist in the family. Growing up with three sisters, and one very traditional father, she could never understand why the women didn't make more decisions and have more power. Hers was not a voice that could be silenced, even from the earliest age. She eventually traveled down a path of activism, social justice, graduated from Barnard, became a student of a renowned Sufi mystic, and studied with a wide range of spiritual teachers. Her fierce devotion to discovering what is real and true, teamed with a passion for advocacy and intentional community, lead Elizabeth to co-found the iconic Omega Institute, a 140-acre communal gathering and learning retreat in Rhinebeck, New York, that has hosted everyone from Eckhart Tolle, Eve Ensler, and Maya Angelou, to Pema Chödrön, Ram Dass, Allen Ginsberg, Gloria Steinem, Pete Seeger, and thousands of other luminaries from every tradition and walk of life.Elizabeth also found an outlet in writing, eventually penning a series of moving memoirs and social commentary. Her book, Marrow: A Love Story, shares her experience of profound reconnection and healing between her and the sister, who she'd donate bone marrow to in a quest to save her life. Her most recent book, Cassandra Speaks: When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes, reveals how humanity has outgrown its origin tales and hero myths, and empowers women to trust their instincts, find their voice, and tell new guiding stories. In today's deep-dive Best Of conversation, we explore the moments, stories and insights that awakened her call to action, community, and creativity, and how a personal crisis, in the form of her sister's cancer, led to unforeseen reconnection and reckoning that eventually led to reconciliation and healing. And, right now, we could all use a little more of this.

Elizabeth Lesser blew my mind with an alternate version of the story of Adam and Eve, and, with the Greek myth of the story of Cassandra. I reflect on the women's liberation movement, #metoo and Lesser reminds us of how we ended up with the trial of Dr. Larry Nassar, who for almost 30 years sexually abused hundreds of female athletes under the guise of medical treatment.

Best-selling author Elizabeth Lesser sat down with us to discuss her latest book, Cassandra Speaks: When Women are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes. Elizabeth is the co-founder of the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. In the interview, Lesser talks about new models of power with host Patricia Martin and…

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”  - Viktor Frankl Unlocking our freedom from within When we think of independence, we often think of it as an external event, like Juneteenth or the Fourth of July. But freedom and independence, including personal freedom, is actually a process and practice that requires ongoing effort. Internal freedom is our ability and willingness to live into our own creative potential. It's a mindset and comes from within. To achieve internal freedom, spend time reflecting on your values, motivations and authentic desires. Double-check that the dreams you're chasing are yours and not someone else's. We unlock greater personal power when we recognize self-limiting beliefs and behaviors that inhibit our internal freedom. The benefits are great: when we gain internal freedom, we live from a creative and empowered mindset.   What Internal Freedom looks like: [07:46]“It looks like creating visions for our own life and then taking steps toward those visions. We're honest and clear about what we want, not what someone else wants of us, or what we feel obligated to do.” “Using discretion and intention for where we place our focus and attention…Know where you want to spend your time and attention and create boundaries and practices so that you find that sweet spot.” How we hold ourselves captive: [12:35] “Complying, staying small, and not rocking the boat. Staying quiet in meetings and agreeing.” [14:47]“Not recognizing and valuing our own worth, expertise, contribution, impact - a feeling of not belonging.” For example, “'Everyone at my company has specific expertise…I run customer support so don't have much to contribute.'”  One way this belief impacts someone is in feeling unable to say no in an attempt to prove one's worth. Burnout and resentment follow.

Kathryn interviews Elizabeth Lesser, best-selling author of “Cassandra Speaks: When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes.” Throughout history, most of humankind's origin stories, hero's tales, novels and films have been told by men.
