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...
info_outline EPISODE 188 Choosing to flow(er) into the fullness of you in the year aheadAwakened 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...
info_outline Episode 187 Moving from caterpillar to butterfly and now BEYONDAwakened 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....
info_outline Episode 186 Continuing to Remember to Become Full of Your True-SelfAwakened 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...
info_outline Episode 185 Witnessing as an act of self love and universal lovAwakened 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...
info_outline Episode 184 Riding the wild horses, choosing more of your expression of loveAwakened 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_outline EPISODE 183 Letting yourself evolve even when you don’t know what that meansAwakened Woman Self Care podcast
This episode is a hybrid of the last episode, “Let the Waters Settle Beloved” and Episode 157 “Releasing caterpillar ways to embody the butterfly.” Continuing with the powerful metaphor of the evolution of caterpillar into butterfly and how it relates to where we are right now as humanity. Exploring how we invite in the new when we really don’t know what that will look like or how we will be without all the old modalities, practices, people and places that have populated our reality to date. Our caterpillar style living was perfect for us in the past, but many of us...
info_outline Episode 182 Let the waters settle beloved, and find clarity withinAwakened Woman Self Care podcast
In this episode host Christine Pensa explores how we can move through the polarity of solution and problem with more ease and grace. It’s been a trope that we don’t truly change until a problem, a dis-comfort or a dis-ease comes up in our lives. Then we set out to “solve” it. That’s not necessarily where we get tripped up, but we often use the energy of “trying” or “solving” something, which puts us on the same frequency (and in direct polarity) with what we originally perceived as a difficulty in our lives. If we continue to loop with a “problem” in polarity, then...
info_outline Episode 181 Releasing Observer Status (maybe it’s time to leave your seat)Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
This episode sprung from the poem Observer Status (see below). It’s an invitation to move from an unhealthy observer role to a more healthy discernment of where external “authorities” make sense for us and where it is simply a program being run on a loop. As always, sacred self care means we are willing to take responsibility for ourselves. As things in our external world become more visible, our role as passive observer becomes less palatable. We are being asked to consider ever more deeply, what are you choosing now? How can you turn up the volume on who and what you are here to...
info_outline Episode 180 Weaving our new story into this world (Story series Part 4)Awakened Woman Self Care podcast
We know it’s time to wake up from who we thought we were and begin to thrive, and to live in harmony with all living beings. In part four of a story series, host Christine Pensa considers the evolution of sacred story and what that means for us right now on this Earth. This episode explores these questions; What stories are we continuing to give our attention to in the external world? How do we notice the purposeful distraction and realign with what we know we are here to embody? How can we take the beauty and internal heart expansion that stories can bring and leave behind what...

Noticing, observing if and how you might be unknowingly be letting your divine expression remain untold. It’s time to get up off of your seat and express through your art of living.
~Observer Status ~
Consider beloved
All the ways we have been relegated to the role of observer
Taught to be content, watching
the dance of life unfold
Narration by self appointed experts,
few allowed onstage,
a puppetry of anointed ones
Consider beloved—who did this choosing—designating us as audience?
While the powerful stories moving through our divine expressions remain untold
Time to leave our seats
Time to remember how and what we are here to sing, to dance,
to paint in this, our unique, infinite, ongoing art of living
Time to embody the cosmic song of life being sung through us
~
