Podcasts about soul midwife

Lisa Jara is a Menstrual Health Agent (of Change), a Womb Whisperer and Soul Midwife, helping women and menstruating folks to holistically address the deeper causes of menstrual health challenges like PMS/PMDD, painful periods, endometriosis, PCOS or perimenopausal challenges, so they no longer dread "that time of the month", but have a happy, healthy period, navigating challenging life transitions with unshakable trust in themselves and their body. She leads a Quiet, yet powerful Revolution for sacred rebels who are ready to radically trust and follow their own body's wisdom, releasing trauma and internalised shame, and eroding patriarchy from the inside out. In her own words: I'm Lisa from Germany and my pronouns are she/her. As a person I'm both a straight-forward, energetic powerhouse as much as a sensitive soul who enjoys holding space for people. Yet, I've also been conditioned, as a lot of people have, that the expert on me lies somewhere outside, that my perception of the world or situations is wrong and that I have to go looking for validation, approval and happiness “out there”, from someone else. Afraid to do anything wrong, I took on rule after rule, becoming more and more rigid, to the point where my life seemed like an endless chain of tasks, bleak and meaningless. A fight I had to struggle through day after day. Until I decided to get help, started my healing journey and got back in touch with my emotions, which I had suppressed for so many years. After this mental health crisis, I decided I didn't want any other woman to feel that powerless and empty ever again and dedicated my life to guiding women back home to themselves, body, heart, mind and soul.

THIS IS PART TWO - Listen to part one hereCONTENT HEADS UP:  This episode contains discussions of death, dying, end-of-life care, and sensitive topics related to mortality, including chosen suicide and medicalization of death and illness. Listener discretion is advised, especially for individuals who may find these topics distressing or triggering. Please prioritize your emotional well-being while engaging with this content.Also, Ali wants to note that when she asks Karen about her thoughts on suicide, she meant to make a disctinction between “chosen” suicide (when someone wants to live but they are in too much physical pain/their body is too deteriorated without hope of recovery) and “suicide under duress” (meaning due to emotional/psychological/spiritual pain, that may or may not be accompanied by an unavoidably dying body, the person does not want to live). Of course facing a death someone does not want can also be considered duress!  SYNOPSIS:What does good acting and dying have in common? In this episode, Ali discusses all things death, dying, and living as bodies with Karen Bellone, Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator. They focus on the interconnectedness of life and death, the significance of conscious living, and the complexities of end-of-life care. Karen shares her experiences working with dying individuals, highlighting the challenges of the dying process, including issues related to dementia and Alzheimer's. They discuss the importance of compassionate and holistic approaches to end-of-life care, emphasizing the need for conscious decision-making aligned with personal values to achieve a good death without regrets. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on the essence of embodiment and the importance of being present in the moment, trusting the intelligence of the body to embrace a richer life and ultimately a better death.  ALI & KAREN EXPLORATION POINTS:-  The concept of a 'good death,' this discussion emphasizes the significance of conscious decision-making and holistic approaches to end-of-life care, challenging societal norms and perceptions surrounding death.  -  The complexities, ethical considerations and medicalization surrounding end-of-life decisions, highlighting the need for open dialogue and support for individuals facing such choices.-  The role of a Death Doula, illuminating the profound support and guidance provided by these compassionate professionals in assisting individuals and families through the dying process, fostering a sense of empowerment and comfort.-  How our physical and emotional bodies communicate and play integral roles in the dying process, highlighting the importance of listening to and honoring the body's wisdom. -  Insights into embracing conscious living, pursuing meaningful experiences, and aligning actions with personal values to cultivate a sense of fulfillment and purpose.-  Sensory experiences shape our perception of life and death, emphasizing the significance of sensory elements in the dying process and fostering connections with loved ones.To be an angel to the podcast, click here: To read more about the podcast, click here: MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  Personal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:Transgenerational Healing Films: MORE KAREN BELLONE:Film Website: Website: The Seventh Sense BIO:Founder, Doula, Educator: Karen Bellone, MFA, is a Certified End-of-Life Doula and Death Educator.

She spoke regularly with groups, such as the Alzheimer's Project, about the role of the doula at end-of-life, and the space that can be held to bring about ‘a good death'. She believes strongly in the ability to demystify and assuage the fear that surrounds death in our culture and to foster safe passage for the dying, as well as to aid the families and loved ones through grief and bereavement.As a visual artist and storyteller, Karen acquired a multitude of skills throughout her career that unlocked a deep passion for the healing power of visual and auditory perception on human consciousness. She integrated these strengths and resources into tools to bring aid and comfort for those imminently facing their mortality. Working with somatic and sensory awareness, Karen utilizes visual, sound and meditation therapy, personalized guided imagery, and commemoration of the sacred in the form of ritual, legacy and memory work, in order to bring comfort - physically, emotionally, spiritually to celebrate and commemorate the life of the individual. In addition to her ongoing private practice, Karen is currently directing a feature film about living American artist Michelle Stuart, whose work also engages with the elemental and ineffable nature of existence.RESOURCES:Edgar Allan PoeErik Erikson

This is the final episode in our 4-part series on our Wild Minds, based on the book of the same name by Bill Plotkin. If you missed any of the previous parts, I'd encourage you to check them all out - links in the resources! This week, we're talking about the West, where the mystery and the qualities of Soul lie. I love the depths, mystery, and romance with the Divine that are available to us in the West. The West is where the sun sets, bringing us into the night, and the darkness. In the same way, it brings us into the darkness of our psyche, turning us inward and wondering about the meaning of things within ourselves. It's often paired with mystery and shadow. Think of the repressed, “forbidden,” unconscious pieces of the psyche. Those are in the West – and while they may seem intimidating, they are also juicy AF. Why do I find the West so delicious, when it has to do with things like darkness, fear, death, grief, or the unknown? And why even begin this journey into the Mystery? In the facet of the West, we can glimpse and be taken over by the version of who we were meant to be in this lifetime. This “death” of sorts of our prevoius selves allows us to reshape, like a caterpillar dissolving so we can eventually express our true identity, like a butterfly. This facet of the West can be called our Inner Beloved, Muse, Soul Guide...I personally identify my work as a Guide in the West as being a Soul Midwife. When we experience love in the West it's like romance... like that profound love you feel that you just know you're totally screwed when you feel it. Bill Plotkin says it promises to “devastate us in all the right ways,” and I have found that to be 100% true. This romance isn't just with another human - it's being entranced by sunsets and sunrises, raging rivers and babbling brooks, raunchy dance parties under the stars and the delicate flutter of ballet slippers. It being in love with ALL of it. The growth that takes place in the West isn't easy. In fact, it's usually scary AF. It shakes us to our core. But when we finally surrender to what's possible in the West, we see the futility of the way we've been doing things, of our default ways of being. We feel exposed, vulnerable, and READY. In this way, the West is also a place of deep change. The West also holds our intuition, our deep imagination - recognizing and appreciating things that can't be seen with our normal eyes, while also conceptualizing and taking initiative. All of this is (ironically) lost in “Western” culture - or more accurately, in modern industrialized society - leaving us disconnected from nature's ways and undermining the health and survival of humanity, other species, and the Earth's environments. Our wild imagination and the depths of the West have to be suppressed to keep the industrial wheel turning at the rate it currently is, and we are paying the price for it. If we compare the East with the West, the East gets “high” with the universal. It wants to ascend to the heights and get the meta view. It connects with the Spirit and our place within the universe. The West gravitates toward the individual, the unique, and gets down in the shadowy darkness to explore in detail. It connects with the Soul and our own unique identity and purpose. Both of these - the Spirit and the Soul - are necessary parts of our spiritual paths. Now, what about the sub-personalities of the West (aka “subs”)? What happens when we come from a wounded place in the West? The subs of the West can be called our Shadows. Most of our Shadows are actually valuable resources that were unconsciously banished or repressed during childhood and early adolescence in an attempt to keep us safe, by winning acceptance from our family or society. This doesn't mean it was successful at that. It just means it tried, and this was necessary in order to form a more socially accepted personality - your first identity. There are many ways our Shadows can appear - the Sinister Shadow and the Golden Shadow, for example. The Sinister Shadow can appear in our dreams, or it can be projected. For example, people of one nation or ethnicity may project “evil” onto another group. Or someone with a repressed sexuality may believe others to be … slutty. I think of the phrase, “the pot calling the kettle black,” here. The Golden Shadow has traits that our Egos think of as “too positive” to be ours. Like certain talent, or creative abilities, or qualities like generosity or compassion or intelligence. “I could NEVER be like that!” Maybe these came about because we were abandoned or punished as children if we expressed these qualities. Or our parents considered them inappropriate because they felt uncomfortable or jealous. Whatever the reason, we abandoned it as a possibility for us. What's tricky about all of our Shadows is that by definition, they are unknown to us. They're not conscious processes that we're actively trying to hide, like trying to look courageous when really we're scared shitless. Rather, the shadow is what is true about us that we don't even know ourselves. And if someone pointed it out, we'd probably seriously deny it ;) But like other subs, these Shadows exist to protect us. So, they're worth getting to know. So how can we identify our Shadows if – by definition – they're unconscious? We can start to see signs that something might be a shadow – and get really curious about it. Check out the full podcast (and Bill's book) for a list of signs that our shadow might be acting up. Here are a few to start with:// We have a strong emotional reaction to someone we don't even know very well// We project our own socially unacceptable traits onto others, like greed, sexuality, cowardice, rage, weakness – we strongly judge others and claim we could never have that trait ourselves.// Our dreams – especially characters in nightmares// Heros/Heroines we feel are exceptionally admirable// Episodes of extreme emotional overreactions to events// Complete this sentence: “One thing that's absolutely not true about me is…”// Personal qualities most of your best friends have that you don't believe you could ever possess These things don't definitely mean something IS your shadow, but they're helpful places to start getting curious. Once we think we have identified a Shadow, we can treat it as if it definitely IS a shadow and see what happens. If we get intimate with it and we have an intense emotion or powerful insight, then that's a great start. Then we can work to find and retrieve the gift - the resource - that it holds for us. And we can make whatever apology, amends, or restitution that may be appropriate.The initial goals of working with our Shadow are to uncover our unacknowledged wounded traits, take radical responsibility for them, learn to soften or eliminate them, and stop projecting them onto other people or elements. This way, we're way less likely to unconsciously sabotage our relationships and opportunities in life. The more advanced goal of Shadow work is to get to know our shadow more intimately so that we can uncover the gifts it has for us to live a more authentic life. Remember: advanced West subpersonality work - Shadow work - can be hazardous - psychologically, spiritually, and interpersonally.  So be gentle, safe, and discerning with this work. Use a guide if you have access to one. So, rebels, we've got some work to do! The childhood war of survival is over, for most of us. So how can we cultivate aspects of the West so we can integrate more parts of us, and begin healing our wounds from a resourced place? Listen to find out. What you'll learn:// How the mystery and sweet darkness of the West facet can add richness to our lives // How, and why, modern industrialized society actively represses the qualities of the West facet, like our capacity for imagination// Our Shadows, why they develop, and how they keep us from growth and sharing our gifts with others// The dangers of Shadow work // How can we identify our Shadows (when by definition we're unconscious of them) and get curious about their hidden gifts Resources:// Episode 105 - Soul vs Spirit // Episode 142: Your Wild Mind - The North + Protectors // Episode 143: Your Wild Mind - The South + Wounded Children // Episode 144: Your Wild Mind - The East + Our Need to Escape // Wild Mind, by Bill Plotkin // If you're new to the squad, grab the Rebel Buddhist Toolkit I created at RebelBuddhist.com.

I'd love to offer you something to consider: I don't think you were “meant” to be a coach or a teacher or actress or painter. You weren't meant to guide psychedelic journeys or catch babies. Or be a mom or dad or any kind of parent. You weren't meant to do any specific career or type of work. I know this can seem counter to what you may hear about “life purpose.”  And a lot of people's raison dêtre (their most important reason or purpose for existing) focuses on their career. This is especially common in modern industrialized societies. However, this focus on career or work as our purpose can cause a lot of problems, especially existential ones. This is particularly true when that career doesn't go as we hoped, and even if everything is going really well, it can still create a problem because we are putting our Soul Purpose into the hands of external circumstances. And last I checked – we don't have control over those things.  As you know, at Rebel Buddhist we are all about freedom. If we think we're meant to be here for a specific career, we end up putting our purpose into something outside of us, dependent on other people, or the economy, or whether people will pay us or agree that they need what we think they do.  That's really freaking stressful – and while we have our moments where we have to disappoint others to stay true to ourselves, our Soul Purpose is not supposed to be stressful to embody all the time. And trust me, your soul purpose for landing on this planet Earth in this body at this time was not so you could DO something that was stressful as heck to figure out how to embody for the rest of your life. I DO believe that we are all here in this life for a very specific reason. And I DO think work is love in action. AND I also feel that work is just one delivery system of many through which we can express our gifts to people. So maybe you weren't “meant” to be a coach... perhaps you were meant to help people move through grief, or realize their potential, or finally see their inherent worthiness and loveability. You weren't “meant” to be a parent...perhaps you were meant to do that thing you do when you drop your kids off at school that makes your heart sing; or that je ne sais quoi when you walk into a room and it lights up with your presence. You weren't “meant” to be a filmmaker... perhaps you were meant to move people, or take them to other realities, so they could intimately know the range of human experience. You weren't “meant” to be a nun or a monk ... perhaps you were meant to explore consciousness or faith or devotion and inspire others. You weren't “meant” to be a nurse or a herbalist or a doctor...perhaps you were meant to know what was needed in a situation that would facilitate healing So, what I believe is that all of those things I described (and beyond) can be done in many different ways.  I remember Bill Plotkin telling us that he realized he embodied his gift when he could do it even when playing poker with a bunch of men that were drinking beer, which was a situation he felt really awkward in since he was used to doing it in the wilderness in sacred contexts. But it still worked – he could stll do his magic...as can YOU, no matter the delivery system.  In this way, we can actually find a sense of peace and freedom when we realize what our gift is outside of the confines of a career path, and outside of external circumstances needing to be a certain way in order for us to embody it.  Remember, careers can come and go, depending on the year, the economy, technology, fads, and trends.  Your place in the ecosystem of the Universe has nothing to do with any of those mundane, worldly things. Your cosmic miracle of a life is meant for something that tanscends all that. Here are some questions we can ask ourselves to help us find out what gift we're meant to bring to the world: // What do friends say after spending time with us?// How do we think we impact others when we spend time with people or other non-humans?// What has come so easily and naturally since you were a child?// What urge do you have that you just can't ignore? For me, one way I phrase my gifts is I serve as a guide for people as they journey into scary places, places that could potentially be traumatic, but instead, are transformed to be healing, empowering, and freeing. This has been true in all the phases of my life: as a kid running my Double Dare club, challenging friends to sneak into a mean neighbor's yard; as a climbing guide in the Himalayan peaks; as an emergency nurse who was bedside trying to hold sacred space as we ran a code or quietly whispering blessings when people died; as a midwife that looked into a woman's eyes as we did a cesarean section without anesthesia or when I delivered a stillborn. And now, I guide people into the depths of their psyche and their soul and their wounds to heal them and their gifts to finally manifest them… as a Soul Midwife. You may be reading this and thinking, “well dang, I don't have anything that obvious.” Well, it wasn't obvious to me until relatively recently.  When I was in it, I used to think about all those careers and wonder if I would ever find “my thing,” only to see, in hindsight, that I was doing “my thing” all along. So, if you can't immediately identify something that feels right to you, don't worry. It's not because you don't have a purpose or gift.  Odds are it got shut down when you were very young. Your brilliance probably scared the fuck out of people. And that's OK because now you get to uncover what that is, and let me tell you - it is a wild ride of a journey. You will learn:// What we weren't meant to be… and what we WERE meant to be// How you can use your career to deliver your soul purpose// How to find the gift we're meant to bring to the world// Why finding out purpose can be hard Resources:// Want to take things to the next level in a 6-month immersion program?

The Solstice is an astrological event that spans time and space where we are able to measure the alignment of the light. Our ancestors, advanced and ancient civilizations all around the globe knew this.  The constructed incredible structures to celebrate, demonstrate and honor this "portal of alignment" It is an incredible time to sit  and get really clear about what want to align/shift into.   This week I recorded a special podcast outlining a Solstice Ritual for you to step into deeper alignment.   Who are you choosing to be?  It is a ritual not about "trading up" to you for a more "improved" and better version of yourself.  It isn't about fixing your mind, body or spirit!  In reality you don't need fixing!   Instead it is all about aligning to the truth of who you already are and what you are ready to uncover and commit to stepping into. The energy of this beautiful day is inviting you into this contemplation, into this alignment....are you willing to take the invitation? If so listen in to be guided in on tapping into your own alignment. Enjoy ----------------------------- To learn more about working with The Soul Midwife head over to soulmidwifejulie.com

Today's show is an eye-opening interview with a Soul Midwife. We are talking about death, dying, and how to make things more peaceful and comforting for those who are dying. This topic is an important one, especially in light of the current pandemic and the large number of people who are dealing with loved ones who are dying. Join us to learn more! Dawn Young is a Soul Midwife. She has done hospice volunteer work since 2012, and she also co-facilitates a community grief group in Astoria, Oregon. She is a member of NODA, No One Dies Alone, and she volunteers at the local hospital in Astoria. Dawn trained to become a Soul Midwife beginning in 2015 with Felicity Warner, the founder of The Soul Midwife Movement in the UK. Our conversation goes deep into what we need to know as the living to become ready for death and how we can take care of those who are dying by noticing the process they undergo. We also talk about how people have passed away alone during this pandemic and how that has changed Dawn's work. Along with other Soul Midwives, Dawn conducts free Zoom presentations every few weeks called Dying to Chat. See our resources section for more information.  Show Highlights: What it means to be a Soul Midwife, a holistic spiritual companion to the dying and their families How working in a pediatric hospital many years ago brought Dawn into her work with the dying  Why being in service to those who are dying and their families has become Dawn's life purpose How the physical death process includes changes in appetite, blood pressure, breathing, and other functions as the body prepares to shut down The four stages of death recognized by a Soul Midwife: Earth–The patient becomes fatigued. Water–The patient becomes incontinent and may cry a lot. Fire–Restlessness and terminal agitation set in as the patient realizes that death is coming. Air–The patient becomes peaceful and quiet. How death is like birth–and the midwife's role is similar in both cases Why death is more difficult when people have a lot to resolve to make peace with themselves and others The mystery of what dying people see in their final moments that we don't see or understand Dawn's advice to the living: “Keep your relationships current and healthy.” How Dawn's work has changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic Why death should be a time when people are loved, safe, and not alone How we can set intentions to reach a loved one through our energy What Dawn wishes we all knew about death and how we should “do death differently” How to approach a dying person with calm, slow intention, peaceful touch, and soft words Dawn's advice for dealing with the difficult conversations about death with our loved ones What it means to Dawn to live in her purpose How to better listen to your intuition How our culture doesn't really value the elderly like other cultures do How essential oils can be beneficial in soothing someone through the transition to death Hear Dawn's answers to rapid-fire questions about great advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something that people might not know, what she's reading, and what's bringing her joy right now.  Parting advice from Dawn: “Be gentle with yourself and others. What you do to another will affect you. Take each person's heart into consideration. Keep your relationships current and be loving and kind.” Connect with me: Weave Your Blisshttps://my.captivate.fm/www.weaveyourbliss.com ( Website) Weave Your Bliss onhttps://www.instagram.com/weaveyourbliss/ ( Instagram) Weave Your Bliss onhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/weaveyourbusinessbliss ( Facebook) Join me onhttps://www.patreon.com/weaveyourbliss ( Patreon) for weekly updates and more!

Beth Riungu is a mother, sister, daughter. She's been a registered nurse, a chef, administrator and is now developing a business as a soul midwife or death doula. In her twenties she traveled to Africa to learn more about her Kenyan father. As she shared in her blog, her blended Scottish-Kenyan ancestry meant she was “neither a local nor tourist, she was a tribe of one adrift in a nation of many”. It was 1986, and as she traveled through east Africa with others she met along the way, she found herself in the Luwero Triangle. Brushes with death were frequent. She passed through South Africa, Uganda, and Somalia at times of intense strife and peril. Those experiences were life changing. She wrote: “…the atrocities that defied human understanding had not murdered the spirit of hope. The people I met were not trying to reclaim power in their lives through revenge but by rebuilding.  Visitors were invited to witness what hate had done, but also what the human spirit could do. My mind couldn't fully appreciate what that meant at the time but it is a lesson my soul absorbed and it has shaped my life ever since. Lessons from death are always lessons about living.” When she turned 50, she decided to develop her growing interest in end of life care. She became a hospice volunteer and studied to become a Soul Midwife; a guide, carer and advocate for the dying and their families. There's no question that in North America we have a fear of death. An aversion to dealing with it. We hide ourselves from it, from thinking about it, facing it. The current pandemic, especially at the beginning has forced many of us to contemplate our own mortality.  Circumstances have robbed many people of the gift of being present during their loved one's passage. A process that help us and our loved ones with acceptance, redemption, grief or perhaps a good death.

Today, we're going to be exploring a tool and a mechanism for healing that, for a very long time, was suppressed because of societal messaging. And that tool is psychedelic-assisted healing.   This is an arena that has the opportunity to be flooded with funding and research. For a long time, we as humans have been connected to various forms of plant medicine and various Indigenous groups have made the use of psychedelics an important part of ceremonial healing.   So today, we're going to break down some of the science, some of the legal avenues that people have to be able to explore, leverage, and utilize psychedelics to accentuate and expedite their healing.   Leading us through this conversation today is my friend and colleague, Angela Ward! As a Registered Nurse, Transformational Coach, and “Soul Midwife,” Angela helps move people through a healing journey by leveraging psychedelics. She helps facilitate the coming together of the medical side, the spiritual side, and the psychotropic side of psychedelics as a tool for healing. Though this might be a method of healing you are not interested in trying out for yourself, I invite you to listen to this episode, regardless! I want you to go into this episode with an open mind and think outside the box of how things have always been done.   Key Takeaways: [1:22] About today's conversation with Angela Ward. [5:13] Welcoming Angela to the podcast! [5:40] Angela shares her career journey and how she became interested in working with psychedelics as a tool for healing. [8:53] How do psychedelics help with healing? [12:41] How and when did the healing potential of psychedelics begin to emerge and get picked up in the medical field? [17:01] What Angela is most excited about right now when it comes to legalizing psychedelics as a tool for healing. [18:23] Angela shares what it is like to work with her in using psychedelics to heal in a medical setting. [22:37] How Angela's patients continue to work with her and implement change after their psychedelic healing experience. [23:33] The history of Ketamine and how it became discovered as a tool for healing. [26:32] An overview of the psychedelics that are used in healing. [30:32] How does somebody know if they would be a good candidate for psychedelic healing? [35:51] How does a practitioner know if they should bring this into their practice? [37:30] Angela speaks about the opportunities she has available to practitioners that want to learn more about this method of practice. [39:45] Angela's key performance indicators!

Let us know over on my Instagram @DrMeghanWalker, or, our free Facebook group, The Entrepology Collective!   Tweetables:   “When [people] work with a psychedelic, held in a safe container … [they're] able to make new connections or have new understandings of … the root causes of their distress, or, they're able to see things from a different angle.” — Angela Ward   “There's something about psychedelics that absolutely does not numb us. … They actually seem to bring us more aware of what's actually happening in the here-and-now. … A lot of times, in our sober-minded state, we can suppress how our bodies are feeling.” — Angela Ward   “It's important to remember that psychedelic states and expanded states of consciousness … are part of our ancestral heritage. It's a native practice in many parts of the world. Psychedelic states have been part of us since we've been human.” — Angela Ward   “My ideal client is someone that has a practice of some kind of self-inquiry … to look … at their shadow [and] be willing to try things and be curious.” — Angela Ward   “People who are birth workers, death workers; people who can hold space, are excellent candidates for this type of work.” — Angela Ward   “My purpose is as a soul-midwife. … My business name is Guardian of the Gateway and I feel really honored to have worked professionally in birth, in death, and in psychedelic therapy with people as they're going through this gate of transformation.” — Angela Ward

Stop Working on Yourself and Start Showing Up You don't need to be fixed. You don't need to be worked on. What if instead of working on ourselves we simply... show up? For sometime I have wanted to shift this language around, Im working on myself or that aspect of myself as it just didn't fit, the language didn't resonate. One day I realized oh...it's show up. The language is show up. When we work on ourselves there is this idea of "fixing myself" as if you am broken, that something is wrong with you. You begin to fragment and "other" parts of yourself. You feel disconnected and not whole. Working on yourself seems like something you do rather than a space that you occupy. When you show up you get curious, unattached, witness, FEEL and surrender to what it is. We get to dig deeper, to experience more, to show up. Eventually there comes a point to express this either via dialogue with a partner, art work, a walk and talk with a friend, moaning, yelling, dancing etc. Things naturally begin to shift when this happens. Showing up to seems like a very natural thing to do where as working on seems like a very structured and another way of really controlling the situation. Like we don't like this part of us so we must make it better. Showing up doesn't require us to do much and yet requires us to be so much with. To truly shift that from the inside out. To truly embrace that rage, to truly embrace your jealousy or even something like always being late or “lazy”. When we show up to this we hear the natural voice of wisdom, our soul begins to speak it's whys, when we show up we feel that feeling and allow it to be exactly as it is... this allows us to recognize our wholeness. So slow down and show up. Create the space outside for your inside and connect within. This leads to your whole. This leads to your peace. This is your anchor no matter what is occurring outside keep coming back in over and over.

One of the only things that I am totally and completely sure about in life is that it is in constant change! The less we resist that change and begin to step into the flow of it the more full it can feel. It requires that we get out of our way…which can be really freaking hard and that we slow down enough to listen to the change stirring within…also can be really hard. This episode is all about my own change in of course what I am calling myself/my branding, Soul Midwife. But more importantly this is a conversation about my own shift and how I am stepping up into greater and more aligned service for those who feel called to work with me. I share a bit about what this will look like in podcast form in this episode AND I do a little story time of my own journey. I believe that so much can be learned and gained from hearing others stories and recognizing ourselves and feeling seen. I talk about things that are unique to my story but also not very unique at all: Where does our value lie as women...is it in the hats you where or somewhere else? What happens when you remove all your hats.  WHO ARE YOU THEN? Who are you as a woman without all the things that you do and when you allow yourself to be….what are you left with? I talk about the catalyst for my growth over 7 years ago, as a women who feels WHOLE, POWERFUL and CONTENT in my body. What does accepting and loving yourself look like? Moving through survival, anxiety, ideas on who I was suppose to be and stepping into who I actually am.   I hope you enjoy this podcast and I am super excited to get back into recording them regularly again!

Luna Grace Isbell-Love is a Woman of Devotion, a Soul Midwife, a Transformational Leadership Mentor and host of the podcast: Radical Remembrance. She assists today's leading changemakers in accessing greater alignment in sharing their full presence and life purpose through her business Luna Love Leadership. Essentially helping changemakers bring the sacred into their businesses.   Luna provides supportive, life-promoting experiences, practical tools, and spiritual wisdom while achieving clear vision with aligned action. She is devoted to social justice advocacy through council work and the dissolution of separation internally and externally. Most of all she is here to walk a path of beauty and grace.   At one point in her life, Luna had to lose herself to find herself. Suffering from unhealed grief and loss she wore a lot of masks to hide her feelings. What she realized was she didn’t have anyone to teach her how to cultivate her emotions during her childhood.   Luna developed this idea that feeling her feelings made her weak and susceptible to the dangers of the world. She found herself numbing herself with parties, promiscuity, and drugs to avoid the pain she felt inside.   But she soon realized the biggest part of her journey was learning how to feel. She finally understood she had to acknowledge the feelings, accept the feelings and then express the feelings fully.   Throughout this process of healing, she learned, even more, it wasn’t the drugs and alcohol that people are codependent on, but it’s also food and toxic relationships. When we recover and find those attachments to our personal identities leave we’re left wondering who we really are.   In the end, allowing herself to feel led her to her aligned purpose. Ultimately, when we feel our feelings it leads us to congruent actions. Alignment isn’t always happy because it can be deep grief or deep sadness. But one thing’s for sure, misalignment is a powerful ally because it shows us the way.   Takeaway from this episode: Cultivating mindfulness helps us to get into self-awareness which is the path towards alignment. Mindfulness leads us to welcome the feeling and give it permission to be here. The shadow brings even more light. It’s all just information to help guide us. Be mindful in our business. There are red flags to show us that we’re out of alignment or incongruent with the type of services we’re providing and even the type of clients you serve. It’s important to practice attunement in reference to our bodies. Our bodies will tell us things if we pause and listen to it.   Instagram @lunagraceisbelllove Sisterhood of Remembrance Facebook Group Luna Love Leadership   Make sure you take full advantage of Luna’s Sacred Biz Writing Prompts: A guided exploration in bringing the sacred more deeply into your business.

Call the Soul Midwife! A popular TV series in the making? Considering that the number of people born exactly matches the number who die you'd think that we would all be a tad better at planning for our eventual and certain demise, but many can't even talk about it. Over to Suzi: The Soul Midwife - helping people to think, talk and plan as they shuffle along the old coil. Our attitudes are an overhang from Victorian times and we need move on; Suzi is helping us to do just that.

Cindy Powers Prosor believes that there is an important transition happening in the world right now. Amidst all the noise and discourse, there is also a rising up that is timely and needed in our global societies. A rising of more conscious beings. A rising of a more gentle, softer side of humanity. A rising of more awareness in how we show up and connect in the world. And yes, if you’ve been listening to me for any length of time, a bit of Yin Rising. I’m super excited to host Cindy Powers Prosor – a dear friend of mine from New Zealand – who is a wise woman making huge ripples of impact around the world. Cindy’s work is revolutionary. In fact, she is often referred to as a "Soul Midwife,"… Cindy is here to help usher out our "dying world" while educating and celebrating the awakening of a "new world." Cindy is a speaker, an author and intuitive. As a mentor and founder of Opening Doors Within, she helps clients around the world drop out of their heads and into their hearts -transforming fear, doubt and struggle into confidence, trust and love. We talk about this and so much more in today's Extraordinary Women Radio interview! Cindy and I are so aligned in our work, our passions and our beliefs. Cindy shares how we can nurture our intuitive wisdom, and why it's so important right now. She talks about the our changing world, and how there is a new paradigm being born: one where masculine and feminine energies find new equilibrium of balance. We've been a paradigm of domination - of hard straight lines and driving ways of doing things, but we're moving into a new paradigm of more collaboration, synergy, exposing the best of ourselves, and thus, creating a better world. That excites me! You’re going to love Cindy’s youthful energy and positive enthusiasm. Let’s meet my dear friend, Cindy Powers Prosor of Opening Doors Within.

Classically speaking, a psychopomp is a deity or supernatural being who would guide the souls of the dead to their resting place in the afterlife. In modern parlance, a psychopomp acts as "an energetic Soul Midwife to the dead or dying". Cat Webb is a psychopomp, oracle, creatrix, mystic and teacher. So naturally, this was a fabulous conversation! We talk about patriarchy, good spiritual hygiene, dealing with a death-phobic society – specifically how to care for the dying when there are family members resisting – and so, so, so much more.
