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...

EPISODE 188 Choosing to flow(er) into the fullness of you in the year ahead
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
Many of us are truly feeling, maybe for the first time, areas in our own selves where life has been suppressed lifting off. We are metamorphosing into our next evolution, past what we knew as the butterfly and moving into something different. We have a choice right now, and choice is our human superpower. We are able to choose to flow or become the flow-er. Flowering into more of ourselves. This episode is an invitation to notice where LIFE has been suppressed in you. That can show up in a thousand ways. Paying attention to anywhere in your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual body you are...

Episode 187 Moving from caterpillar to butterfly and now BEYOND
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
The metaphor of the caterpillar and the butterfly has always been a powerful one for our own evolution - the trust and knowing the caterpillar embodies in order to let go of every single cell she was in order to metamorphosize into the butterfly inspires. Now, there is an invitation to open to what comes after the butterfly. These next steps are not written in stone, but they are written on our hearts and in the trust we have for our own connection to pure love. What is it exactly that we are being invited to move into? It’s the to move into more of who each of us is....

Episode 186 Continuing to Remember to Become Full of Your True-Self
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
Welcome to the next season of the Awakened Woman Self Care podcast. I’m beginning season 7 with an updated introduction and a reprise of episode 135 which was inspired by the phrase full of yourself, the episode explored the question, “If you’re not full of yourself, who else and what else are you full of?” I was prompted to re-listen myself this morning and it has triggered an even deeper excavation in me. I trust it will invite many of you to do the same. The episode is an invitation to explore how much self you are full of, and noticing the programs, patterns and habits you...

Episode 185 Witnessing as an act of self love and universal lov
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
This episode is an invitation to move into more of yourself through self witnessing and witnessing of others in the purest sense. It’s an invitation to enter into your own deep wisdom — that part of you that knows that you are no longer interested in living in polarity and not only the very visible and evident polarity — but also the more subtle energy of polarity that keeps you from being in resonance with your own authentic self. It's a call to reclaim the true essence of your divine and infinite nature, and to release, like a set of heavy clothes that no longer fit, the false programs...

Episode 184 Riding the wild horses, choosing more of your expression of love
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
As always, I love to explore the evolution of sacred self care for humans in this time - we keep choosing to become more of who we truly are and it keeps shifting. It’s challenging and exciting and sometimes frustrating. This episode is a fine tuning of our capacity for change, presence, and focus as pure love beings in this time. We all have a role in this symphony of light, one that is being heard and played throughout the cosmos. The metaphor of riding the wild horses was inspired by my friend Erin’s vision, and the poem below came forward in me; “Ride The English language lists just...
info_outlineAs my summer hiatus continues, I am bringing forward past episodes that present themselves for another listen. This one came through a number of synchronicities. As I explained in the new introduction, I found great value in re-listening to this one and was able to deepen into the message Dr. Brianne Grogan shared.
The original episode was titled; The Practical Magic of the Pelvic Floor with Dr. Brianne Grogan
The episode was not just about pelvic health, it was about how we can open our consciousness to include more of what we choose for our own bodies and our own health.
My powerful guest was Dr. Brianne Grogan who brings forward a treasure trove of wisdom for best practices for vital health and a life well lived—therefore, practical magic.
As Dr. Bri shared, the pelvic floor is the epicentre for so many of the body’s operations. We discussed bio-tensegrity a whole body approach. When one part of the body is compromised, the entire structure responds to balance out the problem. Many of us are still responding to the symptoms that might show up and not getting to the root of the issue. Learning more about the foundational aspect of the pelvic floor in particular brings us back into awareness first, and then control of our body’s vital health. That’s the practical. The magic comes in when we recognize that much of what we have accepted about our health and wellness may simply be an outdated belief system that is ready to be released. The invitation is to explore what beliefs you might be holding and what you have accepted as truth that might not be. Stepping into your own knowing and finding the right formula for yourself.
Dr. Bri has devoted herself to helping others understand their bodies through her incredible, accessible, information rich YouTube channel, Dr. Bri’s Vibrant Pelvic Health. She says that beginning with an awareness of the hidden anatomy of the pelvic floor (which most of us were not taught about) is key to understanding and trusting this part of our body and how it corresponds to our overall health. Many of the issues that result from pelvic floor dysfunction are very “common” but that doesn’t mean that they are okay or that we need to live with them. Gaining self awareness and understanding allows us to take the reigns back with confidence. We become adept at weaving the practical and the magical into the tapestry of our own embodiment.
As Bri says, It’s the challenges that change you and there are gifts in every challenge. I encourage every woman listening to go to Dr. Bri’s website to learn more, to visit her YouTube channel and in particular to watch the two videos she made on the basics of pelvic floor anatomy and health, and to tune into all parts of your own body to inner stand and choose the best for your own radiant health and joy-full living now!
