Episode 197 Singer songwriter Sydney Jones, a deep connection to nature and the experience of presence through song

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

As the Awakened Woman Self Care podcast enters season 8, it seemed fitting to have a guest join me to sing us into the next season of our becoming. It was a joy to welcome singer-songwriter Sydney Jones to share her genre of music, which she calls, “rhythm and sunshine.” Sydney applies her life experience and connectedness with nature, our limitlessness, and the importance of staying in the present moment during this time of conscious awakening. Her positive, life affirming lyrics lift and open the heart of listeners. We talked about her latest single and how our own creative...

Episode 196 Lessons of the cicadas, the shedding of many layers and finding your wings

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

Though this past weekend in many parts of the world has been programmed to mean the end of summer, our inner knowing and nature’s vibrancy would tell us otherwise. Noticing this how this lands in your own body, emotions and mental attitude is a great sacred self care practice. During a summer full of lovely visitors, and all kinds of experiences, the cicadas came in as beautiful teachers for these powerful times of change. As I was able to witness part of their life cycle, I reflected on how the splitting open of their old world in what seemed to me a kind of backwards trust fall, was...

Episode 195 Navigating our natural conclusions in these times

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

Episode 195 Navigating our natural conclusions in these times What are ready to walk away from and how do we move through the nuances of letting go in these times? This episode is an invitation to become present to what we are holding onto through habit, obligation or simply inattention. As I pondered the theme of this episode, I encountered a beautiful analogy around letting go. If you as you are now walked into a room and your friend of 35 years was there, would you still be attracted to them? Imagine that is not only a person, but a place, a thing, an action, a...

Episode 194 Your natural alchemy is choosing to remember your divinity

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

This episode is an exploration of what and why we become distracted by the mental, emotional or physical events that keep us small or in looping patterns, instead of choosing the bigger picture of our own divinity and natural adeptness for alchemising what shows up in our lives. As we continue to move into a deeper knowing of our own divinity, we are being called to be more impeccable with letting go of what does not serve our future/new selves. At this precious moment when we are so beautifully ripe for the next expansion into ourselves we can get distracted by things that come in to pull our...

Episode 193 The beauty beyond the beauty we thought we knew

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

Humans are naturally drawn toward beauty, because we long to know more of ourselves. It was spring two years ago when I recorded an episode on this theme, and as I re-listened this morning, I heard myself say that I had just received a “download” (not a word I would use now) that I had not yet integrated. Not a surprise then, that this morning felt very much the same. The only words that come to me are the few that arrived this morning in a poem; Beloved, then those days arrive when you absorb so much love you are drunk with the wonder of who we truly are Baptizing yourself in a...

Episode 192 Planting love’s roots to repopulate the Earth with beauty

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

As we enter spring of 2025 our experience here and now is in perfect alignment with the season and it’s promise of new life on top of what seems to have run it's course. Many are talking about the end of the world as we know it and that seems to be reflected in what is crumbling around us. We are seeing more clearly the dysfunction in our infrastructures and we are turning our gifts and talents toward the sun of our own being in order to make this gift of being born, here and now, exactly what we had envisioned it to be. To become born here and now is a gift - one we have taken for granted...

Episode 191 What are you making real? Doubling down on your superpower of choice

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

Continuing to explore the nature of sacred self care as we change and choose to deepen into embodying more of ourselves. This episode is an invitation to focus on the question - What are you making real? It’s a fine tuning of what we are experiencing and navigating right now in the outside world. We have been socialized to forget that we do have a choice, even though the reflection from “outside” us often makes us think we are powerless to choose. We are becoming more and more aware that there are many things we have not knowingly consented to, and that we can choose differently,...

Episode 190 Why embodying your true beauty is even more important here and now

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

As we continue to explore how to embody who and what we truly are, this episode is all about real beauty as a reflection of who we truly are. The word beauty is often misunderstood. “Beauty” is even more important in times of challenge, change, and chaos. We are being asked to use the brightness of ourselves to put our attention on what “beauty” we want to see in this world, what beauty we want to bring forward. It is important and powerful for these times, and yet it does not have to be a grand gesture. Small gestures, moments of wonder and gratitude are just as important as...

Episode 189 Deepening your brilliant song of self love

Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

Moving into 2025 feels different and the powerful expansion many of us are experiencing can also bring up programs that are anathema to self love. Not only is self love is the center of the pearl of sacred self care, self love is the wellspring that comes from your vaster self, connected to the breath of the cosmos. It is foundational to your natural organic human operating system. Your presence here is precious and now is the moment to be fully and completely expressing as that presence. Time to find the deeper wellspring inside yourself. Because you are part of an infinite presence, it...

More Episodes

This is in part a repeat episode from September 2021 (episode 139). The theme is our power to choose. It’s coming around again! It is ever more important to deepen into your knowing of what is true, because saying no can be a yes to more of you.

The original episode was inspired by you, the listeners, who call forward what wants to be heard, and by an instagram post on neutrality. The post came from Dr. Lori Earley and she said in her account @phoenixrising medicine, "Neutrality is not an option."

What are we choosing in this moment, at this pivotal time on the planet? When chaos and polarities are amplified, we can retreat from that cacophony because we do not want to be pulled in directions that would seem to pull us apart. We still FEEL it because we are part of the collective.

How can we discern what is right for us in this moment? How do we navigate the external? We choose.

We don't have to choose a side, but we are being called to choose who we are. To stand in our pure love presence. To say no to what we need to say no to, to say yes to what we need to say yes to—because to not choose is to give our tacit or implied consent to whatever, or whoever, has the loudest voice.

At the end of the episode host Christine Pensa shared a short tree meditation to help you discern through metaphor the truth of you and how to use visualization to move beyond the lower frequencies that are external to you.
