Belinda has worked as an educator for many years, and she recently decided to give up her daytime full-time job and work in the evenings because she struggled in the mornings with her osteoarthritis.Belinda has spent much time with her GPs over the past 10-plus years; however, her GP has never mentioned the word menopause to her. The doctor has told her she has to lose weight, look after herself, prescribed antidepressants and told her she needs to take care of her knees because she suffers from osteoarthritis. Still, the doctor has not once mentioned that her menopause could also impact her health, even though she suffers from night sweats and other possible menopause symptoms.Black Menopause and Beyond podcast look at Menopause from the eyes of a Black woman.

In this episode of the Powerful Stories Podcast, the tables are turned as our good friend Jacinta Tynan interviews Tory and daughter Bella Archbold in this Mother's Day special edition. Jacinta is a journalist, presenter and author and has also been a guest on the Powerful Stories podcast. As a mum of two young boys so she also knows a thing or two about the juggle. Bella, from 9 months old, has been a part of the team as Tory was a single mother who ran her global business Torstar, so the juggle was real! ‘It was tough, it was unexpected but we made it work and I often look back and wonder how I did it' says Tory. So, what was this experience like for Bella? ‘Having a strong female advocate in my life definitely helped shape me into the person I am today because Mum showed me the value of strong will power – she inspires me to be a strong as she is. Without that, I wouldn't be the woman I am today.'  After years of trauma and wearing two masks both Bella and Tory shared their powerful story in Marie Claire Magazine a few years ago. Bella has been strengthened through the tough times they have experienced together. Tory says, ‘I told her to trust me, trust the process and trust herself. But we did the hard work to get there. And, it makes me happy to know that she did and is better for it.' It all came back to communication. Tory explains ‘I sat Bella down and asked her – what do you want and what can I create for you that is going to give you a foundation, not only as you move into your teens but as you move into adulthood, and as you form your own relationships.' Tory discovered that during the process no one was listening to Bella ‘but I made a promise that I would always listen to her.' Bella shares that ‘I'm so glad that I was part of the process otherwise I would have been oblivious and I wouldn't be who I am today.' Bella and Tory have a unique bond and mutual respect for each other. They sat down and discussed what they wanted family life would look like, for them both and into the future. ‘the number one thing that came out for us was that we wanted unconditional love. We had the opportunity to create a platform for the next generation to feel empowered to find their place in the world.' says Tory.  So, what is it that Bella admires most about her mum? ‘Her passion for everything she does. The communication she has with me and our bond, and her love for everyone and everything she does. Because without those three things she wouldn't be who she is today.'  ‘Bella grew up with a working mum and from a very young age she was very switched on and would tell me who I needed to connect with' says Tory ‘and I've always said to her it is so good to make mistakes – because you only make them once - and when you learn from those lessons you level-up.' So, does Bella have regrets about how her childhood played out? ‘I'm very grateful for the experiences I had as a child' says Bella, ‘without experience you can't be who you are – you can't be your true self. Everything you go through is one step forward into becoming a better version of yourself.'

Listen To Episode 425 As Alyson Charles Uncovers: [1:30] Alyson's Rock-Star Shaman Origins Alyson Charles Animal Power by Alyson Charles Ceremony Circle Podcast Alyson's life journey and how it has shifted along the way. What the "Rock-Star Shaman" name means and why Alyson took it on after a lot of deliberation. 285 Luke Storey | Plants & Breathwork: Welcome To The Jungle 361 Luke Storey: Relationships, Consciousness, & Coming Home To Yourself Why Alyson believes integrity checks are important to make sure we are in alignment with ourselves. The reality that there is spiritual bypassing happening in our world and the different challenges Josh has been faced because of this. Josh's poor experience with Ayahuasca that led him on a path of intense healing. Alyson's advice for finding a trusted spiritual mentor and how she maintains integrity as a shaman and spiritual teacher. How to lean into your intuition and what you feel like you're called to do. The vertical line that Alyson lives from: Mother Earth (Rock), Great Spirit (Star), and from her Heart (Shaman). Power that comes from being open and willing for the Divine to guide you. Why it's easier to trust in the Divine as it takes time for us to build great trust within ourselves. The fact that you don't necessarily need plant medicine to go inwards and heal yourself. How to decide which type of medicine is going to be the most beneficial for where you're at on your wellness journey.   [21:00] How to Follow Your Internal Guiding System Abraham Hicks What the internal guiding system is and how we can stop thought loops to really tune into it. Simple practices including a hand to heart morning ritual you can do every day to check-in and focus on yourself. How you can build a better relationship with yourself to build greater trust within. What Alyson did to help connect the dots and understand the truth of her traumas: being willing to do the work. Why doing the work, no matter how hard it is, is always worth it because you learn how to navigate the full spectrum of your emotions and feelings. Her Seer abilities and mentality that would turn on while she trained for long-distance running when she was young but she didn't know what to do with it with pressure from her dad. The ability she has to see people's blind spots, shadows, limitations, and how they're holding themselves back.   [26:00] The Most Powerful Teachers In Life Alyson's process for really honing in and listening to her divine intuition. Why facing challenges and knowing who you are will help build your intuitive skills. How to know if past projections or experiences are clouding your judgment. Why pain isn't the only teacher that can help us; joy can also provide us with many life lessons. The Hero's Journey we all face and why we're always students for life while on this planet. How Alyson helps people tune in and find their purpose. The practice of candle gazing meditation and how she uses it to connect with her heart center and connect with Sacred Grand Fire. How Alyson's experience as a competitive runner, athletics trainer, and talk show co-host were all part of her journey to where she is today. The moment she willingly opened herself up to the path The Universe wanted her to go on to serve her purpose.   [49:30] What is Shamanism? The fact that no one knows what they're doing and that's completely okay; it's all about doing your best. What steps you can take when you get trapped in a pain body or several at once. How you can view difficult situations as a teaching moment for yourself and those involved. Different definitions of shamanism including a direct translation of "I don't know" in a foreign language. How to make sense of shamanism and what it means to Alyson. Why she believes shamanism is a planetary practice that connects us with Gaia and one another. Soul Callings & Earthly Initiations: The Path of the Woman Shaman with Marie Mbouni Different forms of shamanism and why each shaman is completely unique. The importance of each shaman to go into that place of allness and totality with themselves in order to hold a sacred, pure safe space for others. What Alyson does before performing a shaman journey with people. The powerful transcendence and clearing that happens during a journey including one specific event she recently experienced. What people should know about the beautiful wisdom of shamanism if they truly feel called to work with someone like Alyson.   [1:11:00] Animal Power: 100 Animals to Energize Your Life and Awaken Your Soul Honoring the artist, Willian Santiago, who created the artwork for her book, Animal Power, and why finding the right person was so important for her. Why they decided to put the black panther on the cover of Animal Power and the fact that it is actually Alyson's core power animal. The training that Alyson has done with her aunt and how her power animals revealed themselves during that time: the black panther, frog, bear, and deer. Specific examples of how her power animals help guide Alyson. The moment the black panther revealed itself to Alyson and what it symbolizes in one's life. Why Alyson chose 100 power animals to feature in her book when there are more. How her personal clothing style has evolved with the upcoming release of Animal Power. Her thoughts on someday putting out a second volume of Animal Power.   [1:28:00] What's Your Animal Power? How we can decipher what our power animals are and how they specifically help. Alyson's gift to you when you pre-order her book: A guided shamanic journey she facilitates to help you find out your animal animal. Other ways to speak to your core power animal: sit in meditation and call to the animal that wants to speak to you now in your life. How Animal Power works as a reference guidebook to help you learn more about your animal including power practices and energy medicine messages. The importance of being present to the animals that come into your life frequently while you're both awake and asleep. Why these spiritual allies do appreciate an invitation into your life on Earth. The fact that the power animals that are present in our lives will shift over the course of our lifetime. How this book can be used to help you check in with your alignment. Alyson's invitation to shamans and spiritual teachers from all over the world to share a story in the book of how an animal has changed their life. Boyd Varty The powerful lesson that the snake taught Alyson one day when she found herself struggling.   [1:34:30] How to Transcend Your Personal Limitations What guidance Alyson and these animals can give you if you're holding yourself back from something like a career change or just stepping into your personal power. How we can become victimized by our own intellect at times. Solocast | A Victim of Intellectualization & The Wisdom of The Heart How we can sometimes become addicted to the process. Why we are our own teachers and people like Alyson are just there to guide us and bring us back to ourselves. How we can get easily hooked into cycles of seeking programs of personal development one after the next without really sitting and integrating with what we're taking in. Why it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about our journeys; we are following them and listening to Great Spirit for ourselves. The importance of actually taking the time to do the real inner work instead of looking for a quick answer.   [1:43:00] What Trauma and Obstacles Can Teach Us How Alyson navigates difficult situations in her own life. Unexpected challenging conversations and relationship dynamics that recently came into her life. The space and support Luke and her friends gave her during this difficult moment. What Alyson had to let go of and allow to die off during a shamanic transition process. Difficult moments and feelings of sadness both Alyson and Josh sometimes face because of what is happening in the collective in this moment. Why Alyson sometimes feels alone with the unique gifts that she has been given. The power of facing our traumas, teachings, and initiations so that we can hold a stronger, all-encompassing space. Why she believes that willingness and vulnerability play an important key in the wellness journey. How to tune in and return back to yourself to change the world rather than focusing on what others are doing. Sacred Fire, Savanna Supernuts & Getting Down to Earth with Zac Efron with Darin Olien   Power Quotes From The Show The Beauty of Divine Intervention "When you go through the divine intervention where you have been resisting the truth of your being, the truth of your traumas, and you have been living with the veil over your head so tightly covering your third eye and living so tightly shrouded in ego and denial - once all of those systems get obliterated and you are forced to see the truth of yourself, you can't ever go back to untruth and denial any more. It can be uncomfortable but it's worth it because now you can navigate that whole spectrum of emotions and feelings. You also learn that once you get yourself through that portal of initiation, it is a magnificent process. I cannot go back to denial because it put me on a path of being unaligned with my purpose and everything else in my life." - Alyson Charles   The Planetary Practice of Shamanism "Shamanism holds within it the truths across all time and all ways of both planet and all of the universes. It truly is a planetary practice that is about oneness and acceptance and unconditional love. Thus, it is an invitation for all beings." - Alyson Charles   How to Reveal Your Core Animal Power & Guides "To call upon your core animal, the one that has been assigned to you for your entire life, it's a very sacred meeting and if you haven't done that yet my recommendation is to do a true shamanic journey which comes with Animal Power. You can do the journey at different times in your life depending on what you are going through and if you need a certain type of guidance, another animal will come into your life for however long you need it. If you have a meditation practice already, you can simply sit in meditation and call for the animal that wants to most serve you in your life right now but everyone receives the message differently. You might visualize or hear its name spoken in your ear. Then go to Animal Power and use it as your reference guidebook." - Alyson Charles Links From Today's Show Animal Power by Alyson Charles Ceremony Circle Podcast 285 Luke Storey | Plants & Breathwork: Welcome To The Jungle 361 Luke Storey: Relationships, Consciousness, & Coming Home To Yourself Abraham Hicks Soul Callings & Earthly Initiations: The Path of the Woman Shaman with Marie Mbouni Boyd Varty Solocast | A Victim of Intellectualization & The Wisdom of The Heart Sacred Fire, Savanna Supernuts & Getting Down to Earth with Zac Efron with Darin Olien Field Tripping: Great Spirit Peyote | Alyson Charles Connecting With Your Power Animals Through Modern Day Shamanism with Alyson Charles What is Shamanism?

In this episode of the Powerful Stories Podcast, the tables are turned as our good friend Jacinta Tynan interviews Tory and daughter Bella Archbold in this Mother’s Day special edition. Jacinta is a journalist, presenter and author and has also been a guest on the Powerful Stories podcast. As a mum of two young boys so she also knows a thing or two about the juggle. Bella, from 9 months old, has been a part of the team as Tory was a single mother who ran her global business Torstar, so the juggle was real! ‘It was tough, it was unexpected but we made it work and I often look back and wonder how I did it’ says Tory. So, what was this experience like for Bella? ‘Having a strong female advocate in my life definitely helped shape me into the person I am today because Mum showed me the value of strong will power – she inspires me to be a strong as she is. Without that, I wouldn’t be the woman I am today.’  After years of trauma and wearing two masks both Bella and Tory shared their powerful story in Marie Claire Magazine a few years ago. Bella has been strengthened through the tough times they have experienced together. Tory says, ‘I told her to trust me, trust the process and trust herself. But we did the hard work to get there. And, it makes me happy to know that she did and is better for it.’ It all came back to communication. Tory explains ‘I sat Bella down and asked her – what do you want and what can I create for you that is going to give you a foundation, not only as you move into your teens but as you move into adulthood, and as you form your own relationships.’ Tory discovered that during the process no one was listening to Bella ‘but I made a promise that I would always listen to her.’ Bella shares that ‘I’m so glad that I was part of the process otherwise I would have been oblivious and I wouldn’t be who I am today.’ Bella and Tory have a unique bond and mutual respect for each other. They sat down and discussed what they wanted family life would look like, for them both and into the future. ‘the number one thing that came out for us was that we wanted unconditional love. We had the opportunity to create a platform for the next generation to feel empowered to find their place in the world.’ says Tory.  So, what is it that Bella admires most about her mum? ‘Her passion for everything she does. The communication she has with me and our bond, and her love for everyone and everything she does. Because without those three things she wouldn’t be who she is today.’  ‘Bella grew up with a working mum and from a very young age she was very switched on and would tell me who I needed to connect with’ says Tory ‘and I’ve always said to her it is so good to make mistakes – because you only make them once - and when you learn from those lessons you level-up.’ So, does Bella have regrets about how her childhood played out? ‘I’m very grateful for the experiences I had as a child’ says Bella, ‘without experience you can’t be who you are – you can’t be your true self. Everything you go through is one step forward into becoming a better version of yourself.’ And finally, we get a snapshot of Jacinta’s new book coming out in July 2021 – ‘A Single Mothers Social Club’ where she interviews over 40 single mums to share their story.  So, sit back and enjoy an insight into this powerful mother Daughter duo – Tory and Bella Archbold.  Links: Sign up to the Powerful Steps #coffeechallenge to gain Tory’s proven formula for building a global network, with three coffee dates a week.

In this episode of the Powerful Stories Podcast Tory Archbold chats to Lizzie Renkert, co-founder of We Are Kindred.  Lizzie spent 18 years at the top of her media career working at Marie Claire Magazine and then as the Editor of Madison Magazine. The media landscape hit a crisis and when Maddison closed Lizzie hit rock bottom. ‘When Maddison closed, I was devastated, I was also pregnant so looking for a job was hard. I was at a crossroads.’ Seeing a gap in the market, Lizzie teamed up with her sister Georgie to start We Are Kindred. ‘The first couple of years of Kindred were really exciting as you are building something from scratch, so there is nothing to compare it to and you just see growth.’ Lizzie explains this was a very different experience from the world of magazines where she witnessed year on year decline.  When COVID hit their global business she needed to step into her true power to survive and found herself optimistic. She says ‘I wanted to find a way to continue to engage with our loyal customer base – they are not just people that buy clothes. It is a community, who we have an emotional connection with’. She began to focus on human connection and found this loyalty with her customers helped turn the challenge of Covid into a possibility of growth with her local distribution network.  Whenever you start a business, there are lifestyle compromises, even if you are working from passion in your heart. Lizzie says, ‘Working in the corporate world there are incredible benefits, but the advantages of working for yourself far outweigh the difficulties.’ Mother guilt was a big part of Lizzie’s life when she was in corporate - but over time she has learnt what she needs to do to care for not only herself but for her family. ‘Now that I know myself better, I know how to manage the overwhelm. I have great relationships and that  contributes to my happy outlook.’ So, what are Lizzie’s three most powerful tools she has learnt in 2020 to make the challenges appear like speed humps? Well, she has learnt that you are more resilient than you think. The hard times will come but they will pass. No idea is a good idea until you try it. She encourages us to, ‘trust your gut’. These are the small steps you can take to enjoy success in 2021. And finally, Lizzie shares what loves about taking powerful steps towards the future you want. So, sit back and enjoy this powerful story with the extraordinary Lizzie Renkert.   Links: Sign up to the Powerful Steps #coffeechallenge to gain Tory’s proven formula for building a global network, with three coffee dates a week.

In this episode of the Powerful Stories Podcast, I will be talking about the Power of Connection and how you can truly attract what you deserve and build a powerful global network. To start, I share with you how my life drastically changed when, in 2018, I decided to share my personal story with Marie Claire Magazine. At the top of my game, I was connecting with powerful brands like Victoria Secret, Steve Madden and Drew Barrymore, but I knew in my heart of hearts that I was ready for a new beginning. I was ready to step out of my comfort zone and become bold, courageous, fearless and authentic in who I was. How did I open this new chapter? Well, I stepped into my values - passion, integrity, and delivery. ‘I know what I want and know that I can attract what I deserve’.  Aligning with my values, I was able to step into my intention of building a global platform for female entrepreneurs looking to transform their lives through Powerful Steps. ‘My purpose is to teach people like you, through powerful conversations and extraordinary stories, that nothing is impossible. Everything in life has a possibility attached to it. How you view a challenge and translate it into a possibility is the answer to you getting what sets your heart on fire and actually translating that dream into reality. And I am living proof it can be done.’   So, what is my advice for creating a global brand and becoming a super-connector? Well first, as we work in a virtual world, we need to be visible and have a stand out brand. Invest in a strong bio and show others what your superpower is, and finally, we need to connect.   I breakdown my three weekly coffee dates, so you can clearly see how you too can build a powerful network where life’s opportunities naturally flow towards you. You’ll hear examples of how a humble coffee date (or Martini) can change your whole life. So, sit back and as I share with you the power of connection. Much love, Tory Archbold.

Alyson Charles is the Rockstar Shaman. She’s a television host, speaker, and spiritual teacher. After years of pushing her truth away, she chose to align with her calling as a mystic and shamanic practitioner.   In this episode, we talk about the traumatic event that guided Alyson towards her purpose and how it was a moment of pure connection to source. She explains how she used that moment to catalyze her life to be what it is today.   Radically Vibrant Alyson   The scariest and most miraculous moment of my life were the same—I was connected to source and I had daily awakenings that changed my life I knew I had to start the process of preparing and clearing myself to get ready for a great awakening When you try to find the Shaman for you—listen to them, read their writing, and ask friends who have had empowered Shamanic experiences   Radically Inspired Clarity   When we deny messages and signs, they culminate to traumatic events and bad health Surrendering to a divine intervention isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a moment of controlling your future and choosing your wellbeing and happiness Each Shaman has varying rituals and ceremonies but at our core we are all divine instruments   Alyson Answers…   How did you become a “Rockstar Shaman”? What would you tell somebody who is “putting a cork over their gifts” and wants to release the gifts they feel? What was the first steps you took to align yourself to the path of a Shaman?   Radically Loved Quotes   “People think surrendering means giving up, but it’s the opposite. You’re tapping into the greatest courage, strength, and vulnerability possible.”   “I felt an energetic blast and it blasted off my egoic shell that I’d lived in my whole life. In one moment, I became awake.”   “There was an aspect of me that knew this level of pain and suffering couldn’t be what life was all about.”   More About Our Guest   Alyson Charles is a renowned TV host, international speaker, and spiritual teacher.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Women of the Military Podcast. My guest this week is not a female veteran, but is the author of Beyond the Point that is a novel focusing on 3 female cadets and their journey through West Point and beyond. I had an opportunity to read her novel and wanted to share it with all of you and talk to Claire about her military background and how this story came to be. Claire Gibson is a writer based in Nashville, Tennessee. Born and raised at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Claire went on to study Political Science and Asian Studies at Furman University, where she was recruited by Teach for America to be a middle school history instructor. In 2012, she left the classroom to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a writer. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post, The Tennessean, Marie Claire Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine and many others. BEYOND THE POINT is her debut novel. Claire was at West Point from 1997 to 2003 she was 10 when they arrived and 16 when she left. She also was there during September 11th. A pivotal time as the cadets who joined prior to that day. Her mom had an open-door policy that allowed the cadets to escape West Point life and spend time at their home. She admired the cadets she met and has kept in contact with them to this day. And they were the ones who asked her to write this novel. The novel is a fictional story of three female cadets who attended West Point, but it is based on experiences that happened to women who attended West Point. So, though the experiences may not have happened to three women, they are experiences that women have faced or experienced. And even Claire’s mom’s experience is woven into the story too. As a female veteran I enjoyed the book because I related to so many of the experiences or had heard of women, I knew experiencing things mentioned. I also learned a lot about what it was like to be a cadet at West Point and other things going on during the war. She hopes people walk away from reading Beyond the Point having a better understanding of what the military is like and possibly bridge the gap between service members and civilians. But she also wants women to see the value of friendship and community. The book shares the story of three women and shows how important friendship is throughout their journey.

And if you are in the DC area and would like to meet Claire she will be at Politics and Prose at the Wharf on April 30th at 7. I’ll be there!

My guest on today's show is Sarah Kunst and I can't tell you what a pleasure it's been to know her.  In addition to being everything listed above, Sarah is also a contributing editor at Marie Claire Magazine. Her philanthropic interests include the boards of Michigan State University Foundation Endowment.

It wasn't the first one, but it was right there at the beginning and she and several other founders with their stories took down some pretty big heads of VC firms because they didn't want this stuff going unwritten about, unspoken about, and she's done so much to diversify the startup space. It's a pleasure to welcome Sarah Kunst to the program.

On this weeks episode of Culturation™ we speak with the “Change Agent”, Kate Atwood. We discuss overcoming adversity, leadership with love and being the change. Kate was 12 years old when her mother passed away after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. Twelve years later she founded Kate’s Club, a nationally-acclaimed not-for-profit organization that provides support to children and teens facing life after the death of a parent or sibling. Recognizing first-hand the importance of support after such a life changing event, Kate’s vision was to build a place for grieving children to have fun, develop friendships, and learn to cope with their loss. What started in the summer of 2003 at a bowling alley with just eight kids is today an organization that has served thousands of children and their families through year-round social and emotional support programs. Her first book, entitled “A Healing Place: Help Your Child Find Hope and Happiness after the Loss of a Loved One” was released by Penguin Books. Following a successful founder transition in 2010, Kate went on to serve as the Executive Director of the Arby’s Foundation. While at the helm of the Arby’s Foundation, Kate refocused its efforts on a new strategic mission that more closely aligned with the Arby’s brand and helped the organization contribute more than $18 million to ending childhood hunger in the United States. In September 2015, Kate joined the Metro Atlanta Chamber, as Vice President of Marketing, to lead the recently launched ChooseATL initiative. In this newly created role, Kate is responsible for focusing the region’s narrative to showcase all that metro Atlanta has to offer with the purpose to attract and retain top talent. Kate has participated in her fair share of media along the way. She has been featured in People Magazine, Real Simple Magazine, Marie Claire Magazine, Huffington Post, and has had appearances on the Today Show, the Meredith Vieira Show, CNN, and ABC-TV’s The View. She was recognized in the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s feature “Up and Comers: Top 40 under 40”, and was honored by Georgia Trend Magazine as one of Georgia’s “40 under 40.” In 2013, she was named to GOOD Magazine’s global “GOOD 100” list for her commitment to helping others. Kate has been featured in six books as a thought-leader on personal giving and social entrepreneurship. #KateAtwood #Culturation #PoweredByPremier #Entrepreneur #NonProfit #Atlanta #WeAreATL #Innovation #JustinEpstein
