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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

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...
info_outlineElaira Flow returns for what organically became part two to our original episode 151. You can find that episode in the show page archives (Episode 151 The Curren-sea of our new businesses with Elaira Flow).
Elaira brings over 20 years of experience as a trauma informed somatic business coach, a healer with extrasensory abilities and an architect of new business paradigm that is necessarily holistic, including all aspects of ourselves. Over the years she has observed trends and directions of business and what is thought possible through structure only, which often does not work. Her work is an invitation for us to approach business (and life) holistically.
The spark that lit this joy-filled conversation was Elaira’s instagram post about the clarion call to move into being a leader in our own lives, rather than accepting everything outside ourselves. Self leadership capacity is one of the things she focuses on in her work. She shares that in the new business paradigm we are the leaders of our own lives, claiming both that freedom and responsibility for ourselves.
This year opened with a powerful new frequency in which many of us are hearing. It is a call to step away from simply accepting what has been, and being filled with what we don’t want, into more of what we want to see on this Earth now. Elaira invites people to notice and compare how much of their day is spent accepting life, and how much time they spend per day “crafting life,” dreaming, choosing, paying attention to what they truly want.
Elaira has crafted a model of 8 capacities, all of which are holistic, reaching into our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. She calls our businesses, the dress you put on these healed aspects of yourself—learning and recognizing your capacity covers it all. Aligning our energetics, our blockages, our nervous systems so the mind and the action steps can flow, rather than staying as Elaira says, “in familiar hell.” She says if we create from the brain only, we continue to create what we know and we do not step into the dreaming because we become sidetracked by the “greed of how.”
Capacity work does not mean we will never encounter fear or doubt, Elaira says, the difference is that we will learn how to hold more, both the “good” and the “bad” so nothing stops us from moving through in alignment with ourselves, with flow and with ease. With pioneering work like what Elaira is offering, this is how, together, we change the world. So it is.
