Moving From Survival to Joy: Our Season Wrap-Up | Ep 228
Are you ready to move from survival to soul-deep acceptance? Christine and Shannon reflect on the most transformational wisdom from Season 28’s expert guests. In this special wrap-up for Season 28 of the Women Connected in Wisdom podcast, we bring together the threads of our season's powerful conversations. We have spent this season exploring the 8 Dimensions of Wellness, learning how to bridge the gap between where we are and where our "whole-self" wants to be. From breaking free of narcissistic family patterns with Agatha Peters to understanding the emotional side of money with Tari Vickery, this season has been a roadmap for transformation. We revisit lessons on "escaping the quicksand" of home organization with Lisa Woodruff, reclaiming visibility as "glass children" with Alicia Maples, and the intellectual expansion of shadow work with A’sha Love. This wrap-up is more than a look back; it is an invitation to use these resources to build a life of beauty, meaning, and joy. Whether you are navigating fitness after 35 with Desi Bartlett or restoring your inner light with Niambi Jaha-Echols, we are here to remind you that you are not walking this path alone.

What is Shadow Work? Intellectual Wellness - with expert guest A’sha Love | Ep 226
Are you tired of trying to "fix" yourself? A’sha Love joins us to explain why Shadow Work is the intellectual key to reclaiming your whole-self and soul remembrance. In this week's episode of Women Connected in Wisdom, Christine and guest host Sacil Armstrong are joined by A’sha Love - a multidimensional guide, metaphysician, and author of the best-selling book Love Is the Foundation. A’sha’s journey into deeper alignment began in 2008 after a profound metaphysical awakening, and she has since guided thousands of seekers through transformational soul-level healing. We explore the Intellectual Wellness dimension by redefining how we view our internal "shadows." Often misunderstood as a process of repair, A’sha reframes shadow work as soul retrieval - learning to love what has been hidden so we can deconstruct old masks and reclaim our truth. If you have felt stuck in performance-based roles or are ready to expand your consciousness, this conversation offers a whole-self path to inner freedom.

This week, we welcome Lisa Woodruff, Founder & CEO of Organize 365 and host of the top-rated Organize 365 Podcast with over 24 million downloads.

In this powerful Environmental Wellness conversation, Lisa will share insights from her new book, Escaping Quicksand: 10 Steps to Overcome the Overwhelm of Modern Homelife, where she will reveal: • Why modern women feel buried in invisible work • The truth about “adult self-care” (it’s NOT bubble baths) • How systems reduce mental clutter • Why “Swiss Cheese Organizing” doesn’t work • How the Sunday Basket system pulls you out of overwhelm • Why organizing your personal spaces first changes everything As Lisa says in Escaping Quicksand, “Organization is an outward manifestation of the inner organization of a person.” Environmental wellness isn’t just about nature - it’s about the environment you live in every day.
