Do you view being highly sensitive as a negative? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth Cush welcomes back Keri Nola—matriarch of the Receptivity Portal for Healing Entrepreneurs—to talk about her journey from struggling with sensitivity to embracing it as a gift. “I used to really curse my sensitivity. It felt like such a negative thing, because it made navigating the world so hard.” — Keri Nola For so many women, being highly sensitive can feel like a burden, like a barrier to navigating the world. It doesn't have to be. We don't have to be at odds with our environment or the situations around us. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a mid-life women's life coach, welcomes back Keri Nola, best-selling author, coach, podcaster and founder of the Receptivity Portal for Healing Entrepreneurs for a conversation about being a highly sensitive person (HSP) in a “Go, Go, Go!” world. They reflect on how they experienced their sensitivity as they were growing up and came to recognize it for what it is, they share tips for how they avoid anxiety and overwhelm, and talk about all the positives they now associate with being highly sensitive. You can find the full show notes for this and every episode here. https://www.elizabethcushcoaching.com/awaken-your-wise-woman-podcast
Do you wish your woman was more open to sex? Not just intercourse, but the fun of the whole sex thing -- kissing, making out, foreplay, getting hot and heavy, doing the dirty.Ever longed for more from your wife/girlfriend/partner when it comes to sexuality -- and not just "from her" but with her? Ever wished she had more fun when it came to sex, that she enjoyed it more, was more expressed and into it?Many of our clients feel a yearning to connect more with their woman, but aren't even sure how to bring it up. Talking about sex is sensitive, and even more so if sexual trauma is part of the picture. And masturbation can be even harder to discuss, especially in partnership.Here, we talk all things sexual opening and awakening when it comes to the feminine. We draw from our own personal journeys as well as countless stories from other women who've learned how to connect to their own erotic essence (separate from a partner), and the myriad benefits associated with that. We cover the many health benefits of masturbation, yoni eggs, cervical wands, breast massage, G-spot de-armoring and more.To close this out, I'm gonna drop some slang terms for women getting themselves off, because they're all kinds of fab:Ménage à moiAuditioning the finger puppetsWomansplaining yourselfFanning the furChecking the undercarriageButtering your muffinDiddling Miss Daisyand my personal favorite ...

Join us in a captivating session with Keri Nola as we delve into the transformative journey of reconnecting with our bodies. Together, we explore the vital role of breath as a bridge to this homecoming, highlighting the art of slowing down to immerse ourselves fully in the rhythm of our breathing. Throughout our discussion, we recognize the breath's ever-changing nature, encouraging a compassionate acceptance of each unique moment. We also explore the importance of self-compassion, letting go of self-criticism and embracing our experiences just as they are. We wrap up our dialogue with heartfelt appreciation for the enlightening insights shared by our esteemed guest, and for the impactful contributions Keri makes to this field.

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C interviews returning guest Keri Nola. Keri is an Intuitive Entrepreneur, expressing her medicine as a Former Psychotherapist, Best-Selling Author, Podcaster, Oracle Card Creator and Founder of the Abundance Activator for Healing Entrepreneurs, a membership community oriented to aligning with your Divine desires. While birthing and stewarding an abundant clinical practice specializing in complex trauma and dissociation for over a decade, Keri's work has since evolved to support therapists, coaches and healers in activating their abundant service through mentorship, products, programs, events and retreats.

You'll hear Keri guide Laura through an exercise to explore this energetically, and their discussion about what came up for each of them.

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! We have talked a lot on Therapy Chat about perfectionism, and this week's guest brings a slightly different perspective.

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! As we welcome the New Year, we are welcoming new perspectives. This week's episode is all about reconsidering what you've always thought about dissociation (if you've thought about it at all!). This week's guest is Dr. Jamie+ Marich. Jamie/Dr. Jamie uses she/they pronouns, identifying as a bisexual woman in recovery from a substance-related disorder who is part of a dissociative system. She is also an internationally recognized speaker, trainer in EMDR and expressive arts, the author of many books, and a psychotherapist in private practice. Their newest book, Dissociation Made Simple, includes stories shared by Jamie/Dr. Jamie and 61 contributors, nearly 40 of whom are mental health clinicians living with dissociative disorders. The book is for anyone to learn about dissociation, and the stories shared truly demystify this misunderstood and highly stigmatized experience. Listen in to hear Laura and Jamie+ discuss: - Reconceptualizing trauma - Understanding the spectrum of dissociation - Bias and misinformation in the therapy community about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) - Intersectionality of oppression and how it plays into stigma surrounding trauma and mental health, especially around dissociation - How to use the book - Speaking truth to powerful systems and institutions - Pierre Janet and Sigmund Freud Dr. Jamie+ Marich (she/they) describes themselves as a facilitator of transformative experiences. A clinical trauma specialist, expressive artist, writer, yogini, performer, short filmmaker, reiki master, TEDx speaker, and recovery advocate, she unites all of these elements in her mission to inspire healing in others. Jamie is a woman in long-term recovery from an addictive disorder and is living loudly and proudly as a woman with a dissociative disorder with the goal of smashing stigma about dissociation in the mental health field and in society at large. Jamie+ began her career as a humanitarian aid worker in Bosnia- Herzegovina from 2000–2003, primarily teaching English and music. Jamie travels internationally teaching on topics related to trauma, EMDR Therapy, expressive arts, mindfulness, and yoga, while maintaining a private practice and online education operations in her home base of northeast Ohio. Jamie is the founder of The Institute for Creative Mindfulness and the developer of the Dancing Mindfulness approach to expressive arts therapy. She is the developer of Yoga for Clinicians.

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! Continuing the theme of tending to our own needs, today's topic is one that's important to therapy professionals and to first responders, too. To anyone who works with people who are suffering, Vicarious Trauma is important. Host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C revisits a past episode in which she speaks about Secondary Traumatic Stress and Vicarious Trauma after attending a workshop on this topic by Laura Van Dernoot Lipsky, the author of Trauma Stewardship. This week is Part 1 and next week, in part 2, we will hear from Laura van Dernoot Lipsky herself! Here's what you'll hear in this episode: The terms Vicarious Trauma and Secondary Traumatic Stress are interchangeable. Therapists bear witness to the traumatic stories of clients and are affected by them. The nature of therapy work requires empathy; it's honorable, brave, and important work intended to make the world a better place. There are small ways to lessen the impact of trauma, by mindfully checking in with yourself and using positive coping methods. As a therapist, how much are you “numbing?” We discuss examples. Laura recommends spending 12-60 minutes each day, for six days a week, working out to the degree of breaking a sweat. We owe it to the people we help to take care of our Vicarious Trauma, and regular exercise is one way to do that. Isolation is common in trauma work, because we feel like “nobody understands.” The American Counseling Association lists several signs of Vicarious Trauma, including: Having difficulty talking about feelings Feeling diminished joy Feeling trapped by work Limited range of emotions Exaggerated startle reflex Hopelessness Trouble sleeping Exhaustion Conflict with other staff Trouble with intimacy Feeling withdrawn and isolated Impatience, apathy A change in worldview What can you do to make a difference? Practice mindfulness Exercise (12-60 min. several days each week) Cultivate connection with yourself and others Enrich your life by doing things you love, apart from work Make meaning Resources: ACA Fact Sheet on Vicarious Trauma Trauma Stewardship by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky Trauma Stewardship Institute Laura van Dernoot Lipsky's newest book, The Age of Overwhelm Thank you to TherapyNotes for sponsoring this week's episode!

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C revisits a conversation with an incredible healer and coach. Today's guest is Mara Glatzel, MSW. She is an intuitive guide and energy healer for women who facilitates daily conversations about intention, truth, and celebration. A creative leader, Mara is expert at living in her own skin with grace and ease. At the core of her work is the desire to live a well-intentioned life, which means more joy, grit, and vibrant imperfection to spare. She is MY kind of person—how about you? Her website makes you feel warm, glittery, and nurturing, and her writings and programs are truly inspiring. Want to learn more? Join us! What you'll hear in this episode: Mara works with women who want to live with more intention and responsibility. She likes to take nebulous concepts that are hidden in layers and break them down into tangible, relatable pieces. Mara's work isn't like other therapies or focused on symptoms, but is based on self-love and self-compassion. Mara found this niche after finding herself “not fitting into” the standard therapy role. She knows what it means to struggle with body image, fears, and trusting yourself. When we sacrifice ourselves in order to “belong” to the world around us, then loneliness is the result. You can have all the “right” things happening in your life, and be MISERABLE! Mara's writing background flows perfectly into her intimate newsletter offerings, which happens to be her very favorite place to write! Mara is gifted in being able to take about difficult topics in ways that people can receive them. Her newsletter features the unusual option, “Click here if you want me to read this to you.” People love it! “Why aren't there MORE spaces in which people are lovingly spoken to?” Mara offers several programs throughout the year, many of which Laura enjoys participating in. Mara's podcast, "Needy," is for anyone who struggles to acknowledge their own needs. Check it out here! Resources Find everything Mara Glatzel offers at her website here.

There's shame or guilt for practitioners in the healing space, requiring the collective mindset of "We don't do it for the money." Keri Nola, Psychotherapist, and Founder of the Abundance Activator for Healing Entrepreneurs cites that when we believe that we don't do it for the money or there's no money in healing, there's usually not because we create those self-fulfilling prophecies. "We shut ourselves down. I call it turning off our energetic Open for Business sign. Even if we're doing all of the typical marketing things, networking, social media presence, blogging, and getting listed on websites to help gain visibility, everything's still not working. Looking at our beliefs is the core of creating abundance." Tune in to this new power-packed episode of the Conscious Marketer podcast —Activating Abundance: Welcoming Aligned Cash and Clients with Keri Nola. Key points covered in this episode: [00:02:11] Therapy as a godwink for a little girl. Keri traces her love for helping people when she used to sit at the dining room table pretending she was a 911 operator. "I just got so much out of imagining being able to help people in times of crisis and need. And I never knew how exactly that would manifest. I thought I would be a teacher. And then, as I learned about the healing arts, therapy just made sense. And it was just like home for me. I went to school for it and came right out of school building a private practice." [00:04:29] Keri attributes her high client success rates to her passion for helping people who don't feel like they can be helped. People keep armored parts that keep them from feeling better. She shares experiences treating challenging teenagers who come into psychotherapy and are resistant to change. [00:07:13] Healing entrepreneurs struggle with scarcity consciousness. It is necessary to help practitioners in the space to cultivate a relationship that it is okay "doing it for the money." Increased belief and confidence are essential to welcoming aligned cash, clients, and opportunities to serve abundantly. [00:10:37] To heal money wounds, Keri recommends methods like tapping, energetic clearing, or unwinding ancestral patterns. We come from generations upon generations of ideas, beliefs, and realities in our history stored in our cellular memory, not knowing why we're doing what we're doing. [00:12:24] Kylie covers how people feel afraid of telling their story or making money because of professional limitations imposed on them, and they get stuck in it like a straitjacket. If you can't share a story about yourself, how can you then share a story about your body of work? [00:20:33] If you are confused or nervous about pricing your next launch or program, Keri says to let your nervous system help you decide. If you're not ready to receive a $10,000 client package, you will push those clients away. You're going to get a lot of resistance. One of the ways you can know if your relationship with your body or your nervous system is shut down is if you get a lot of pushback on your pricing or if nobody responds. —————————————————————————— Keri Nola is an Intuitive Entrepreneur, a Former Psychotherapist, Best-Selling Author, Podcaster, and Founder of the Abundance Activator for Healing Entrepreneurs, a membership community oriented to align with your Divine desires.

Sexual trauma shows up in different ways — both physically and emotionally. For example, some folks may not have undergone sexual abuse or assault, but have experienced religious trauma that actually impacts their physical body and experience of sex. If you've ever had a woman partner who struggled with vaginismus, vaginal dryness, sexual trauma, or other issues with ladyparts, you'll appreciate this non-judgmental, open conversation about sexual pleasure on the feminine side. Topics include vaginal steaming, the jade egg, sexual healing, and more. Plus shifts in levels of libido (what if hers is higher?) and how lubrication changes over time.Violet's site: https://violetlange.com/

IN THIS PODCAST:Feeling self-doubt How do we meet the parts of ourselves that are doubting Growing pains FEELING SELF-DOUBTWelcome to humaning! It is so normal to move through periods of feeling unsure and vulnerable. I think we add to the intensity of the doubt by being hard on ourselves or making ourselves wrong for it … the self-doubt is both personal and unique to our own history and experience, and it is also collective and [from] the community. (Keri Nola)When we place ourselves in a box we limit our capacity to help, heal, and to serve others in the way we are able to. If we do not have a relationship with our self-doubt, we continue to buy into collective ideas, becoming further estranged from ourselves, and make choices that are detrimental to our practice and to ourselves as people and as healers. Self-care principles have been squashed under the weight of western medicine even though these acts and principles have existed for many hundreds of years throughout different cultures. I feel really strongly about us giving ourselves permission to be honest about the healing value of things beyond what has just more recently in the last 30 to 50 years been deemed “best”. (Keri Nola)HOW DO WE MEET THE PARTS OF OURSELVES THAT ARE DOUBTINGThe parts of us that doubt might be keeping us from literally doing the thing we may need to be doing such as marketing or branching out. We can supervise these parts of us. We can supervise the doubts, give them attention and love, and still do the thing that we are nervous about. It is possible to still take risks when you are afraid, that is what being brave is about. Ask yourself: What does this part that is doubting need from you? How can you connect with yourself and say “I see you, I'm here for you” How can you hold and love on that part that doubts while you still take the brave step and do the thing I love that our work is called a “practice” and that's because it's really just in a lot of ways a big exploration and a big experiment. We try this, we try that and overtime I think we can develop more and more trust with ourselves because sometimes it's going to feel scary for a while until we do it, and we have examples over and over again that it works. (Keri Nola) GROWING PAINSFollow your bliss but also follow your growing pains. A lot of the discomfort you experience when you try new things and overcome self-doubt is due to the fact that you are stretching your comfort zone and surpassing your own limits. That is how you grow and develop both as a practitioner and as a human being. Pain is also a symptom sometimes of something stretching and expanding to bring something new to life and so as a new version of ourselves is coming online, it's not always very comfortable. We're outgrowing our old self and stepping into our new self and that is uncomfortable a lot of the times. (Keri Nola) BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS...

Have you got sleep stress? We often hear about how stress affects our sleep, but not always about how sleep affects our stress. As in, how sleep CREATES stress! You know, SLEEP STRESS! Yes, you read that right; sleep is stressful. Which when you're already stressed and can't sleep, isn't exactly good news. The thing is as you lie in bed awake waiting for sleep to take over, your mind racing with stressful thoughts about your stressful life, it's not long before your thoughts turn to sleep; why am I still awake? why can't I fall asleep? what if I don't fall asleep soon, then I won't get my 7 hours and then I'll never be able to function! what time is it again? This is what we call sleep stress. Like we needed another kind of stress in our lives! What is sleep stress? When I think of sleep stress I think of the emotional tangle we get ourselves into all over not being able to fall asleep. The thing is, once we get sucked into these thoughts it's a slippery slope. If you've listened to the other podcasts I did recently on sleep, when I spoke to sleep experts Chel Hamilton and Keri Nola, there was one thing that they both mentioned and it was this Do not judge what is happening to you, just accept and go with it. Ha! Easier said than done right? So on today's podcast, I want to dig a bit deeper into sleep stress so that we can better understand the emotional aspects, which in turn should help us to tackle it. Are you up for that? Now, I've given this a lot of thought... nights of lying awake has given me plenty of time! And I've identified 4 key themes that I believe are the main culprits of sleep stress. 1. Not being able to fall asleep... ... and then getting more and more annoyed by not sleeping. This is a classic that affects us all from time to time (if not for some of us ALL THE TIME!). Now there might be a number of reasons it's happening to us - chemical imbalance, too hot/cold, too much iPad action, too much fear-based late night TV. Alot of these are discussed in my other podcasts so if you want to find out more about what you need to address in your life, listen to my chat with Chel while Keri's podcast is great to listen to if you want to create a more effective sleep ritual. But, one thing is certain - you need to make peace with whatever is happening to you and just let go. Now, for some there may be a very clear reason why they can't sleep and it's this: they don't feel safe enough to. Our body will only let us fall asleep if it thinks we're not in danger. So, if you've had a traumatic experience in your life, maybe this is impacting on your ability to fall asleep. If you can make peace with your trauma and restore your feelings of being safe, then this could unlock your ability to fall asleep with ease. 2. Getting stressed by noises that keep you awake This is a bit like #1 except here there are actual noises that you're hooking onto when you hear them. As with thoughts, you need to just let them pass and not reach out, jump on them and travel around the room with them. If you can hear them and just not care, that would make things much easier to fall asleep - don't you think? The important difference here is how you feel about the noise. 3. Waking up in the middle of the night, or waking up too early... ...and then stressing how you're running out of time to get back to sleep. If this is happening to you, then it could be down to a blood sugar drop. Chel talks about this in the chat I had with her so look to address that bit first before tackling the emotional aspects. Get your head in a tangle once you're awake though is not going to help. Especially if you're clock watching. Get rid of any easy ways of seeing the time from your bed. It really doesn't matter what time it is. As long as you have an alarm to wake you up, knowing the time can only mean trouble for you. Especially if you're stressing about the next one... 4. Worrying about not getting your sleep allowance This is the amount of sleep you believe you need to sleep well or get enough sleep. I'm sure we all have an idea as to how much sleep we think we need to feel rested and refreshed. And if we're not sure, then the media will always be too happy to help us figure it out. Only recently there was another piece of research out telling us how much sleep we need. The thing is this is an average figure and often it's not necessary that we need that amount EVERY night. But if we're stressing about how much we believe we need, and what happens if we DON'T get it, then sleep stress is going to win! How to clear sleep stress Well, it's simple... first, you have to identify which of the key themes is affecting you and then do a bit of digging. You dig until you can list out your sleep stress head trash. Then clear each piece of sleep stress head trash using the Head Trash Clearance Method. You can discover how to do this in my book, Clear Your Head Trash which you can buy on Amazon here.

It's not imagining beings of light. It's turning light onto the darkness. It's looking at the darkness, it's being in relationship with your shadow.” - HAS “I'm not buying the bullshit.

I’ve invited Keri Nolan to be a guest on the podcast because I have respected her work for so long. She is multi-talented and looks at the world from a beautifully grounded, energetic place, and she has hosted podcasts and retreats as well. Keri shares that she is working with healing entrepreneurs around the topic of abundance and prosperity. She finds that healers have such open and giving hearts and tend to get a little stuck when it comes to giving permission to receive. What does it say about us if we’re willing to experience expansive abundance and resources and freedom and liberation in our business as a result of sharing our service with the world? Keri has created a free experience called the Abundance Activation Challenge which invites people into a 6 day journey of visiting some wounds they might have around money. She is excited to invite more people to join the journey of saying “Yes, I CAN heal and help and serve AND experience freedom and financial prosperity and abundance at the same time!” Lisa and Keri discuss: Shadow work and illuminating what is hidden How to share and integrate your whole truth in your business The importance of showing up fully and completely Expanding your capacity to receive abundance Recognizing false illusions that may block your ability to receive How legal protections can help provide clear energetic boundaries How clarity translates into more connection and clients The importance of giving clients space to make decisions on their own time Making empowered decisions vs. making fear-based decisions How being clear with what we need money for creates expanse and liberation Mirror work and understanding what’s clear and what’s blocked Running a business that honors legal documents as living essences Using your intuition to make exceptions as needed around legal documents How clear legal documents can make you and your clients feel safe and free The importance of working with a lawyer that feels right to you Benefits of the Abundance Activation Challenge More About Keri:Keri Nola is a serial soulful Entrepreneur, expressing her work as a Best-Selling Author, retired Psychotherapist, Awakening Healer, Energetic Visionary, Oracle Card Creator and Founder of the Sacred Soul Circle for Healing Entrepreneurs.

This will be the final episode of 2018, as I take some time to focus on my new responsibility as a father and enjoy the holidays with my family. I hope you’ll plan to join us for more great conversations in 2019! You can read the full show notes at: Session177

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if we were able to hold space for each other? If we all knew that when someone lashes out it's because they are truly hurt within? If we all knew that when someone belittles or judges the judgment they pass on themselves is far greater? If we all knew that when someone bullies or abuses they themselves have mostly likely experienced cruel bullying and abuse? What if we were able to hold space, provide a place for inner healing creating real change rather than allowing the vicious cycle to continue? That is the world I work for… Holding space does not mean accepting or condoning. Love is also saying no, having clear boundaries and standing for what is right and just for all. But there is a Way. A Way of Love. This is what I explore in this episode of The Magdalene Voices with Soul Mentor Keri Nola. Keri is a powerful and experience healer able to hold space for even the darkest parts of you. Doing the work herself she has an extraordinary level of depth and compassion combined with true strength and power. In this episode you will her us talk about: The Shadow aspects How using your shadow aspects can serve in your awakening journey. How categorization and compartmentalizing creates distance and separation equalling disconnect. That your Shadow Aspects have immense gifts. How to find value and purpose of your Shadow Aspects. How the Shadow Aspects working on our behalf is a necessity. How the more you acknowledge and hold space within the more you are able to do so without and thus gain deeper and richer relationships. That this road is no lovey-dovey. How light work is dark deep work Why the feminine rising has to allow the masculine. Where to begin with shadow work. How being completely in your truth opens your intuitive centers. How shadow work is deeply opening. Why there's no blame shame or guilt. The difference between ignoring and denying. How there are shadows we can bring to life we're not ready to work with yet. Keri's amazing Shadow Deck. How change can be easier and with more grace if we are less resisting. The dark side of light. Illness, disease and abuse. How we don't want to get into the culture of blaming those who appear to be victimized. How we often call forth painful and challenging situations to awaken to a deeper love and connection to ourselves. How we're very shaming of the energy of perpetration. How we all ave victim energy and perpetrator energy within all of us. Worthiness and understanding our importance Plus a collective reading from Keri. ... and so much more
True Calling Project | Finding Purpose and Meaning In Life and Career
Keri Nola is an Awakening Healer, Energetic Visionary and Founder of the Sacred Soul Circle. She's also the co-founder of the Galactic Vibrations podcast and an author. Today, Keri returns to the show to chat with John about the 'shift', a global awakening that's causing us to reassess our place in the world and how we identify ourselves within it. From the anxieties and fears springing from recent political events, to the social questions we face on daily basis, this in-depth conversation explores why so many people are feeling collectively 'off' right now. John and Keri discuss self-identification in a gendered society, our attitudes to blame, fear, doubt, relationships and love and how a different viewpoint can overcome some of the problems associated with a rigid self-perception. Keri also opens up about the car crash that changed her life and helped her make the decision to leave behind her career in clinical psychotherapy and pursue her true calling. "There is a massive awakening. We really have to see how far from ourselves and each other we've really been. That's the pain we're experiencing and that's the upheaval that's necessary in order for us to really come back home to our truest essence" Interested in learning more about the True Calling Project and what I do?

Keri Nola joins us to shed some light on what it means to love the shadow and helps us dive deep into the energies of Mercury Retrograde. Even if you’re not a student of astrology, you probably know that people groan when they hear Mercury is going retrograde. This conversation helps you understand the power and potential of what is a nurturing, quiet time. This is time when miscommunication is more likely, when technology is prone to glitches, and travel is more difficult. but it is also a time when we’re invited to slow down and look within. Often, we’re afraid what we might find in those quiet, slow spaces but you’re invited to see these periods as a chance to see what parts of body, mind, and spirit most need our attention. Keri leads us on an exploration of her “favorite shadows.” As an Intuitive Psychotherapist, Energetic Visionary, and the Founder of the Sacred Soul Circle for Healing Entrepreneurs, Keri is on a mission to help us to remember how to shine a light on the shadows ready for healing within. We talk about the pursuit of perfection and the nature of power. It’s particularly important to dive into how healers tend to minimize their own power and silence themselves. Weaving through this episode is the theme of permission. We have permission to ebb and flow, to be imperfect, to dance in the light and the shadow. We wrap up the episode with a special Messages from Shadow reading specifically for this Mercury Retrograde period. For more about Keri’s oracle deck, the new app, her programs and retreats for Light Workers, visit www.kerinola.com. *** Mercury Retrograde is a time of “re”…Words like return, revisit, remember, re-energize are key during this period. This energy guides the Practice of Being Seen Retreat for Therapist-Healers that is coming up during the next Mercury Retrograde period, August 13 - 16, 2017. (Re)Vision: Explore Your Stories, Shape Your Future has been designed to hold you through this period of reflection and preparation for the next phase of growth.

My guest in this episode, Keri Nola, believes that being ourselves (our human, vulnerable, authentic selves) is what makes clients resonate with us. Keri believes that our training and our fear both get in the way of being authentic with our clients, and when this happens, our client can sense it.
Today we have intuitive psychotherapist Keri Nola to talk about the gift of jealousy and the work we can do with our shadow energies. “Jealousy is one of our teachers, if we're willing to show up to the classroom.” - Keri Nola Learn more about this episode of The Stay Inspired Podcast at www.kongitfarrell.com/23
Today we welcome intuitive psychotherapist, Keri Nola. Jessica and Keri go deep into strategies for leaning in to fear and aligning energy to bring your best business to life.
Looking for some new podcasts to listen to? I'm on a bit of a holiday hiatus from new episodes of Therapy Chat podcast. In the meantime, I wanted to tell you about some other podcasts I love. Here are 6 podcasts I'm listening to and recommending frequently! I hope you will check them out and please comment with your favorite podcast! 1. Women In-Depth with Dr. Lourdes Viado, MFT - I love this podcast because my friend and colleague Lourdes Viado conducts interesting and (as the name implies) in-depth interviews on topics that people don't usually talk about. Lourdes is a depth psychologist who was mentored by Jungian analyst and author Dr. James Hollis. She is so knowledgeable about her work and I love listening to her soothing voice. The podcast is fantastic and I recommend it without reservation! Some of the episodes I frequently recommend to my clients include: Episode 10: Spiritual Abuse: What It Is & Why It Matters with Tamara Powell, LMHC Episode 23: Understanding Spiritual Abuse (Part 2) with Tamara Powell, LMHC Episode 14: Women and the Midlife Crisis with Diann Wingert, LCSW Episode 21: Healing the Mother Wound with Bethany Webster Women In-Depth covers subjects that people may consider off-limits or taboo, such as infidelity, sexual abuse, staying in an unhappy marriage, and much more. I hope you'll check it out! Let me know what you think! I must add, Lourdes has been a guest on Therapy Chat too. I frequently tell people about her episode, which was about "The Shadow." To listen to that episode click here! I've also been a guest on her podcast. 2. Mom & Mind with Dr. Kat Ritchie - Dr. Kat is a clinical psychologist who specializes in maternal mental health. She is knowledgeable, skilled and experienced at helping people who are struggling with infertility, emotional health related to pregnancy - including pregnancy loss, and post-partum stress like depression, anxiety, OCD and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Her podcast is a fabulous resource offering information to pregnant and parenting moms, fathers and people who are trying to conceive as well as healthcare providers and psychotherapists. I have learned so much from Dr. Kat and her podcast and I recommend it frequently! Start out with these episodes: Episode 1: My Postpartum Story: Anxiety and Depression Episode 3: Resources for PPD Healing and Learning Episode 7: The Good Mother Mom and Mind is a great resource. Stay tuned to my podcast to hear an upcoming interview with Dr. Kat. I can't wait to share her with my audience! 3. Galactic Vibrations with Keri Nola and Lloyd Burnett - if you've listened to my podcast you've heard Keri Nola there. She's been on twice, talking about intuition and the Shadow. I am a huge fan of both Keri and Lloyd, who are amazing energy healers and coaches. Their podcast is brand new (it came out less than a month ago) and it is a huge hit already. If you are into the "woo woo" stuff like I am, you'll enjoy hearing their energetic forecasts, oracle card readings, and so much more. Get started by listening to these three episodes: Episode 1: Understanding & Healing the Energy of Denial Episode 2: Using the Energy of Fear to Unlock the Mystery of Ascension Episode 3: The Shadow of Force, the Truth of New Years Resolutions, and People Pleasing I've done coaching for business and personal growth with both Keri and Lloyd. They're great at what they do! And as I mentioned, Keri has been on my podcast. She talked about using intuition in therapy in Episode 11, back when my podcast was called The Baltimore Annapolis Psychotherapy Podcast. And she contributed to my series of episodes on the Shadow (after Lourdes's episode, mentioned above) in Episode 42. 4. Launching Your Daughter with Nicole Burgess, LMFT - My friend and colleague Nicole Burgess, LMFT, practices in Indianapolis, Indiana with a focus on teen girls and women. Nicole is super passionate about her work and it comes through when you listen to her podcast. She has been kind enough to have me on her podcast twice! Once I talked about The Daring Way™ and the second time was about helping your daughter (or son) if they experience sexual violence. Nicole's podcast covers a wide variety of topics related to the issues of parenting girls. Here's a sampling of some of her episodes that I've enjoyed: Episode 34: How Art Therapy Can Be Effective With Teens Episode 33: How to Create Healthy Boundaries In Your Family Episode 31: Ways Parents & Teens Can Receive Support Around Suicide Prevention I hope you'll enjoy listening to Launching Your Daughter as much as I do. These last two podcasts are super amazing ones for therapists who are building private practices. Both of the podcasters are my buddies - they've both helped me in tons of different ways and if you're a therapist you probably already know of them. If not - prepare to have your mind blown! 5. Selling The Couch with Dr. Melvin Varghese - Melvin is an awesome psychologist in Philadelphia who wanted to start his own private practice so like any good student, he set out to learn from people who have already done it. Melvin has interviewed dozens upon dozens of therapists and other experts in practice-building to learn how they have managed to build successful private practices and other types of businesses. Melvin has interviewed experts on marketing, multiple income streams, running groups, building websites, creating Psychology Today profiles, writing books, mindset shifts, and so much more. He's had over 100 episodes so far and his podcast is listed in the top 100 business podcasts on iTunes, which is a pretty significant accomplishment! I'm super excited for Melvin as he's now building his private practice, following all that great advice he's received, and I know he will help many people! Here are a few of his most recent episodes. There are so many - if you're a therapist trying to build your private practice I recommend you listen to every episode - but here are a few to get you started: Episode 93: How Comparison Can Steal Your Joy Episode 92: My Morning Routine & Productivity Episode 85: Saying No As a Private Practice Owner Melvin was on my podcast talking about how therapists can use podcasting to grow their practices. He knows his stuff. He taught me pretty much everything I know about podcasting. Podcasting has enriched my life in so many ways and it's mainly Melvin who I have to thank for it. Here's Episode 49 of Therapy Chat with Melvin Varghese. 6. Blissful Practice Podcast with Dr. Agnes Wainman - this is another brand new podcast. Disclaimer - I was the first guest on this podcast. But I don't love it only because I've been on it. Agnes is a psychologist in Ontario, Canada who has learned the hard way how to create a private practice that feels blissful. She spent time at the other end of that spectrum, feeling burned out, and she wants to help therapists who are building private practices find their own bliss. On her podcast, Agnes talks to therapists about their journeys to private practice. I love her perspective and I think you'll love her podcast. Check it out here: Episode 3: Why I Became A Therapist Episode 2: Networking Guru Allison Salmon Puryear Episode 1: Therapists Can Change the World: A Discussion with Laura Reagan, LCSW-C Agnes was one of my early guests on Therapy Chat (back when it wasn't called that).

I found my heart and soul connection in a barn. I had a new experience which was a game-changer for me. I've been saying for at least 10 years that I want to take horseback riding lessons. I talked about it on an episode of Therapy Chat earlier this year, vowing that I would make it happen. I've ridden a horse maybe 5 times in my whole life, all between the ages of 10-13 years old. For a time I was obsessed with them, as many children are. I grew up in the city but close enough to rural areas that there was one horse farm many of us knew to visit. Recently as I've learned more about equine-assisted therapy and the benefits of spending times with horses, I've become determined to increase the amount of time I spend with horses. I'm now 44 years old and my body has changed quite a bit since I was 13. I think it's safe to say that my heart hasn't changed much, if at all, though, as I learned through this experience. Before I tell you what happened, let me give you some information from Equine Assisted Growth And Learning Association, also known as EAGALA. From their website, www.eagala.org: How Does Equine-Assisted Learning and Growth Work? Horses are bigger and stronger than us. They are powerful creatures, and being around them can feel intimidating, which creates an opportunity to get up close and personal with our fears. Like humans, horses are social creatures who live in herds. They have a social hierarchy in terms of how they relate to one another in the herd. Working on how we relate to horses is a way to work on how we relate to other humans and ourselves. Because horses are prey animals, they rely on non-verbal cues to stay alive. Their lives depend on accurately reading these cues. Humans are predators. Yet for some reason horses are willing to interact with us anyway, if we let them know we are safe. Horses know when what we are saying and doing don't match what we are feeling and sensing, even though we might not know. They reflect back to us what we are feeling and sensing, or the incongruence between our feelings, sensations, words and actions, even (especially) when it's outside of our conscious awareness. The Shadow...Again? Horses can bring our Shadow to our awareness. Yes, the Shadow again. As a wise person told me, once the Shadow is out in the light you can't ignore it anymore. I am finding this to be true again and again. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out these episodes of Therapy Chat podcast: Episode 53; Episode 38 with Renee Beck, LMFT; Episode 40 with Lourdes Viado, MFT, PhD; Episode 42 with Keri Nola. So this is what happened. I went to a workshop on learning with horses. I gathered in a barn with a group of two other women, the instructor and the horse trainer. I really didn't know what to expect, because I haven't done anything like this before, although I have heard about it from fellow therapists. The whole experience was on the ground, not on the horses. We were introduced to two horses, a darker colored one and a lighter colored one. I felt super vulnerable and nervous. I wanted to know what to do and not to do, and how, and what was going to happen. I told myself to sit with the discomfort, knowing that this is where growth happens. Part of me wanted to relax, be in the moment, let go and see what happened. Part of me wanted to know, to check whether or not I was doing it right, if I was okay, to understand, to know why. These parts of myself battled for that entire two hour period. When we walked up to each horse I had lots of thoughts. I wondered how to touch the horse, if it was okay to touch him, and whether he would hurt me. I was acutely aware of how large and heavy he was, and that he could kick me, bite me or step on me if he felt like it. Then, I went a little deeper into my emotions. I suspected that he didn't like me. I felt self-conscious about being uncomfortable and worried who could tell. I was pretty sure he could tell, though he didn't say anything. I felt his soft, velvety coat and tangled mane. I noticed that he was beautiful and he looked like he had been through some things. I decided maybe he wasn't judging me as harshly as I was judging myself. This all happened in a span of maybe 2 minutes. Feeling a little softer toward myself, I approached the other horse. One of the other women was standing with the horse, and I felt protective toward her time with him. I held my hand out to him, wondering if he was okay with me petting his nose. He gently nuzzled my hand. I didn't know if this was what they always do, or if he liked my touch. I awkwardly stood there for a few seconds, continuing to let him smell my hand and nuzzle it. Then something surprising happened. He tilted his head toward me and sort of snuggled up to my neck. I don't even know what to call it. Immediately, tears sprang to my eyes. I felt seen and understood, probably better understood by the horse than I was understanding myself, at least in that moment. I had the strange experience of a felt sense - when you just know something that is coming from within. Your inner wisdom, your soul, your wisest self, whatever you want to call it, it tells you something from within yourself. It's more than just a thought. The felt sense told me "he knows I'm sad." One of the reasons it was weird is because I hadn't known I was sad until that moment. I felt apologetic toward the other woman standing there, because the horse was giving me more attention, and because I was fighting back tears, which is pretty uncomfortable any time, but especially in front of a stranger. At the same time, I was incredibly grateful to the horse. As Brené Brown says, "Vulnerability is courage." All of that happened in the first 30 minutes of this experience. After that we alternated between activities with the horses and seated in chairs. But more strange things happened. During the time we were seated in our chairs as a group, the horses were free to roam this indoor space. We were talking and I was continuing my struggle between the parts of myself that wanted to avoid the discomfort of this new experience and the parts that were trying to be open and let it unfold. I'll point out that while this experience was new, that struggle is not. In fact, it is quite familiar, if I'm honest. I practice mindfulness by checking in with myself many times throughout a given day. I notice what I am thinking, what I am feeling, what my body is holding. I frequently ask myself what I need, or what my body wants me to know. There is always an answer, if I listen. What I often notice is this struggle to know, to have the answers. It is something that pops up when I am in situations where I feel unsure. It is an attempt to avoid discomfort. I don't do it consciously, it is a defense that I'm sure developed quite early. I know I was always praised for being smart. This quality is one that I never doubted I had, and I received much attention, love and acceptance around being smart when I was a child. I felt very uncomfortable quite a lot of the time during childhood, so this defense (it's called intellectualization) served me very well back then and it has helped me many times since. But it does get in the way. I'm grateful for my intelligence, yet I need to ask the part of myself that wants to know to step aside quite frequently so I can stay in the moment. It's okay to be curious, as long it doesn't take me away from the current moment. The Most Powerful Moment So now I'll get back to the most powerful part of the experience in the barn. After the horse snuggled up against me, while we were sitting in the chairs as a group, the horses moved around the barn. Slowly they moved toward us. Eventually, both horses came to stand behind me. While we talked, one by one they slowly crept forward until both horses were standing with their heads over me. I wish I had a picture, because to the others in the group I must have looked funny with one horse's head coming over one shoulder and the other horses's head coming over my other shoulder. They kind of crossed their heads in front of me. It was so strange, with a result that I couldn't see the other group participants. The group leader noted that the horses could have stood anywhere they wanted, and for some reason they chose to stand over me that way. They remained that way until we stood to do another activity, and then when we returned to sitting, they did it again, just as gradually as the first time. I can't really say what happened, other than the horses knew I needed something. But that can't be all because I'm sure the other group members were having their own emotional experiences in their seats. Yet the horses gravitated to me. I think the leader was suggesting that they knew I needed either comfort, protection or something. She didn't come right out and say it (I think she wanted me to figure it out myself). All I know is I was in love with these horses. I felt like they got me. I felt like we had a connection. I am laughing as I write these words, but I really mean it, and I still feel that way, even though more than 24 hours have passed. In fact, I've had more experiences of self discovery (what I like to call shifts) since doing that. I am eager to do more work with horses and see what happens. It was truly a magical experience. Why Am I Sharing This? You might be wondering why I'm sharing this. There are a few reasons. First, I want to document this magical experience for myself. Also, I want people to know that spending time with horses can be incredibly powerful, almost unbelievably so. Some things you just have to experience for yourself, and I hope this article will encourage some of you who are reading to try Equine Assisted Learning and Growth. Lastly, I'm sharing this because it's important as a therapist that I live the way I encourage my clients to do. I've been on a journey of personal growth - intentionally only for the past two years, but probably for my whole life. I believe we never stop growing and learning (unless we refuse to try), and that we must continue pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones, because that is where growth happens. I can't take my clients anywhere that I haven't been. The more I allow myself to be vulnerable and expose myself to new experiences allowing me a deeper connection with myself, the more capable I become of walking alongside my clients as they are on that journey. I have seen this to be true, and I know as my connection with myself deepens my skill as a therapist will deepen as well. Next week I'm taking time to venture deeply inward as I spend time with an intuitive coach in California to reflect on the direction of my business in the year ahead and do more Shadow work (gulp!). This will also be a reunion with some beautiful souls who live across the country and I am so honored that I will be spending time with them there. More is ahead, as I head to the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York in November for a retreat with horses and fellow therapists and other healers. I can't freakin' wait. Honestly, I have been bitten by the horse bug now and I can't wait for my next opportunity to spend time among these amazing creatures. And yes, I am still planning to take horseback riding lessons. It will happen! I'm currently exploring various locations to learn with horses in a different way. That will be a new arena (literally!) for me. I know what Brené Brown means when she talks about Daring Greatly. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out her book by that name. So that is the story of how I found my heart and soul connection, with two horses and with myself in a barn. I hope it somehow inspired you to get more connected with yourself.
