Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine

HELLO BEAUTIFUL LISTENERS! Thanks for joining for this solo episode. Today I share some life updates & wanted to touch on the final two weeks of the Year of the Snake and what that might enTAIL (pun intended). I also ask the question,  Is this the intermission of your life? At this time, you don’t have to know what you’re shedding. Just trust and let it go during this final stretch of the Snake. Only 2 weeks left. There may be some grief for the things you have to release because they didn't work out. There is a mourning here that occurs when we shed our lost hopes and dreams for the time that has passed.My hope is that this episode offers some comfort, encouragement, and support during what may be a heavy & difficult time. Hang in there, keep going, don't stop here! Greatness is just around the corner.Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated 💗 Thank you for being here  🤗  Venmo: Whitney-Walker-35Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @Womenwaken

Speaking is one of our greatest powers as humans, it is also one of our greatest fears. Many of us, especially Women, are terrified to use our voices in all matter of situations after centuries of being told we're unworthy to do so. How can Women come to reclaim, embrace, and use their voices? My guest this week, Jen Oliver, has created a vibrant business around doing just that. Jen is a speaking and communications coach and podcaster - equipping women to speak with greater impact and presence. Her approach is highly connective, collaborative, and customized. She teaches Women how to communicate REAL – in a way that is Relational, Engaging, Authentic, and Life-Altering. Her coaching goes beyond the stage and accolades. She equips her clients with tools to speak with impact in any aspect of life.On this guest episode, Jen beautifully shares about helping women to speak from their truest voice, coaching them in all types of scenarios from big stages to having a voice in their own home. Together we share our love for speaking and sharing our voices (we're both podcast hots!) and discuss the life events that can cause reluctance to be heard. Jen explains how too many women suffer dis-ease when they remain silent, people please, sugar coat or just divert and get performative. Many of us were raised to do this - culturally or as a survival mechanism, and she was one of them. Jen tells us how her work as a speaking coach addresses helping people heal and build self confidence. Jen offers stories of how she has seen over and over - women who are liberated in their voices are happier, healthier, & more prosperous in their work life and enjoy richer relationships. Without fail. Bio Jen Oliver is a speaking and communications coach and podcaster - equipping women to speak with greater impact and presence. Whether you are speaking on stage, promoting your business, or voicing your needs in the bedroom - Jen helps women to dismantle old narratives and limiting beliefs as a gateway to speaking with self-trust and cultivating  connection with any audience. Jen serves as a 4-season Executive Producer, Director of Curation, and Speaker Coach for TEDxFolsom. She is also a committed force behind WomanSpeak™ - an internationally recognized body of work teaching the art and soul of public speaking.Jen hosts the Listen for REAL podcast and is currently founding a second platform with a mission of supporting 1 million women as they speak with a new level of freedom and confidence.Website:https://realjenoliver.com/ Socials:https://www.instagram.com/realjenoliver/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1250053318https://www.linkedin.com/in/realjenoliver/https://www.podpage.com/listen-for-real/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZwbOwKCl6tsFBJLzVOkwUQ

*Throw Back Friday Episode (Originally released June 19th 2023)* A throw back episode for you all as a little refresher or first time guide on how to connect with your intuition! Enjoy! What is intuition? Does everyone have it? And if so, how do we know how to listen to and follow it? Intuition is referred to as our Internal Guidance System, that gentle voice within, our inner knowing. The truth is that it's all of the above and more. Each person's intuition is unique. It may be similar to other's yet how you experience and work with it is all your own. Intuition is innate within all beings and one of the greatest tools we can ever use to guide us through life and onto our Divine Soul path.  On this Divine Feminine Solo episode I offer insight into what intuition is, what it may sound and feel like, how to begin working with and following it, how to distinguish between ego & intuition, and how to become your own greatest source of wisdom. Check out the tarot deck I use on this episode here:White Sage Tarot, https://whitesagetarot.com/ Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @WomenwakenYoutube: @womenwaken

For those of us who have chosen to walk a spiritual path, we've been called a great number of things. Particularly, crazy. So it can be important to have a translator of sorts to explain to the logically minded skeptics that it's possible to be spiritual without losing your mind. You don’t have to abandon your logic to learn how to be spiritual. And you don’t have to squeeze yourself into someone else’s rituals, beliefs, or vibes to become a spiritual person. My guest this week, Laura Kusto, has done us all a favor and become that bridge to explain that there’s another path — one built for strategic minds, skeptical hearts, and people who crave meaning that actually makes sense. Where spirituality isn’t performance. It’s pattern. It’s timing.On this guest episode I have the pleasure of hearing Laura's story and conversation about al the great and rational gifts of astrology, moon phases, and how each supports productivity or planning. Laura explains how spirituality is actually the truth that rises when you finally stop outsourcing your intuition and start aligning with your natural rhythm. She shows us how to become spiritual in a way that feels grounded, intelligent, and completely yours — so your inner world can feel as clear and powerful as the life you’ve built on the outside. She walks us though the moon phases and how someone with zero astrology knowledge can start syncing their workflow to the moon today. She also shares about her creation, the Moon Map, and how it helps someone understand their natural timing and focus areas.Laura is the Moon Phase Astrologer for Strategic Minds—helping high-achieving entrepreneurs and executives claim their spiritual rhythm through grounded, repeatable frameworks rooted in lunar cycles. A sought-after speaker and featured Authority Magazine author, she helps analytical minds disenchanted by surface-level, “good vibes only” spirituality reconnect with something deeper. Her mission is to show driven, discerning thinkers that their intellect isn’t a spiritual barrier—it’s the bridge to alignment, clarity, and belonging. 25-year global corporate strategist and speaker (consulting VP & practice line lead). Sought-after expert featured in Skift, Crush the Rush and Company DimeSpeaker at 10+ international conferences (GBTA, ACTE Amsterdam, ProcureCon & more)Built a visibility platform with thought leadership across both corporate + spiritual spaces Midwest-born, moon-obsessed, and always tracking patterns (on earth and in the stars) Addicted to systems, cozy playlists, & decoding big truths through tiny details.

Happy Yuletide Dear Listeners. I'm back with a final Solo episode of the year to offer some guidance and support in SHEDDING & RELEASING what you are ready to leave behind and begin to CREATE YOUR VISION for the future you desire to live in. I offered these insights in a workshop I held for Women Waken listeners (another is coming for vision boarding in the New Year if you're interested). I break it down into a 3 step process to establish the shedding (What/Why/ & How) and then some specific exercises you can do to facilitate the process of releasing old thought systems, energy, and tension from the body. Finally I introduce the art of vision boarding and how to begin that manifesting & inspiration process.I know this has been a tough year for many of us. My hope is that this episode offers some helpful insights and options on how to affirm that a higher experience is possible, especially for you! You deserve the greatest joy, love, peace, safety, and protection. Don't hold back, dream up the greatest expression of life you can imagine....it can be yours!!Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated 💗 Thank you for being here  🤗  Venmo: Whitney-Walker-35Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @Womenwaken

It's a tale we all know so well. Working hard and diligently building the life you think you're supposed to want—the career, a marriage, a carefully crafted plan. And then everything came crashing down. My guest this week, Becca Eve Young, knows all to well how this story goes. Because she lived it. Her marriage unraveled. She was laid off while alone in a foreign country as a global pandemic hit. Then, just when she thought it couldn't get worse, she gets the call that her father died. Stranded in rural Mexico, cracked open by grief, she experienced a supernatural encounter under the full moon that set her on a wild, often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking journey. From car crashes and chaotic hookups, to silent meditation retreats, psychedelic revelations, robberies, and mystical moments—this is what happens when life blows up and a woman dares to say yes to becoming someone new.On this guest episode, Becca and I have a lively conversation exploring the concepts and details of her story. I had the privilege to read her book and adored its vibrant tone and how her Soul came through the words on the page. Becca shares about her journey in a raw, hilarious, and deeply human way. She tells us about her experience of how what began as a freefall became a wild quest to untangle grief, rewrite old stories, and rediscover her own worth. Together we share stories and anecdotes of life on the spiritual path and offer insights and guidance for anyone who’s ever felt lost in their own life and is searching for more. BIO:Becca Eve Young is a former corporate strategist turned soulful storyteller and devoted to the art of becoming. After a plot twist (or five), she walked away from the societal shoulds to reclaim her voice. Her work lives at the raw intersections of growth, healing, and reinvention—delivered with humor, heart, and a spiritual spark. Her debut book, "It's Gonna Get Messy" is an unfiltered true story of heartbreak, healing and reinvention with a profound supernatural twist. The heart of her story is rooted in ditching the societal script and becoming your most soulful, authentic self. When she’s not guiding others through identity shifts in starting their entrepreneurial career or coaching them in finding meaning in the messiness of life, you’ll find her barefoot on a surfboard, writing in cozy cafes, and chasing the kind of freedom you can feel in your bones.Connect With Becca:www.beccaeveyoung.com@beccaeveyoung on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/beccaeveyoung/

*. REPUBLISHED with the CORRECT audio, sorruy about that!!! *There are Two Ways to Live Life; as a victim of circumstance or as the badass you really are. My guest this week, Erin Brennan, has lived by and embodied this mantra throughout her life.  She reminds up that the choice is ours - you can react to life's curveballs or you can grab them and throw them back. Because when you embrace the unknown, you play by your rules. Erin is a Creative Consultant who blends the worlds of brand strategy, design thinking, linguistics, neuroscience, and a few other things to help her clients move mountains. She also believes in magic and tries to sprinkle it into the lives of others often. On this week episode, Erin and I have way too much fun talking entrepreneurship, tapping into our authentic creativity, and why It takes guts to stand out. Even more so to stand still long enough to hear what your soul’s been trying to say. Erin shares how uncertainty can hold us back, but what if it's the key?  Erin talks about her lifetime of navigating chronic health issues: getting sick at 16 and diagnosed with a genetic disorder that made her confront who she wanted to be and how she wanted to live her life early on. And a fellow traveler, she speaks of traveling around the world, packing up everything sge owned and spend 3 years living out of a suitcase traveling the world.BIO:Erin Brennan believes the best way through life's messiest moments is to embrace them. With a subtle shift in perspective, she invites you to find possibility in the unknown, if you're brave enough to show up and say yes. Her work challenges you to swap certainty for curiosity. Through her decision-making frameworks, Erin helps you shift unconscious belief patterns using a combination of psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, quantum physics (and magic) to find freedom from fear and uncertainty to reclaim your power.It was her own journey, navigating serious health challenges, starting her own creative agency in 2010, and pursuing a life on her own terms, that she learned, on the other side of fear is freedom. Erin is currently working on her first documentary, asking: What if chasing your wildest dreams meant staring down your biggest fears? Erin is known for delivering tough love, unfiltered honest insights, and just enough magic to help people get out of their own way to live life on their own terms.Erin Brennancreative consultant** NEW WEBSITE **Documentary Link: https://www.averageerin.com/ type // erin@brennanbrand.comdial // 415.496.9825browse // www.erinbrennan.co

*Originally released July 2023, enjoy!!!People tend to feel one way or another about the practice of visualization. They either think it's bullshit or that it's the first step of the sacred creation process towards manifesting your heart's desires. I for one am big on visualization. Each morning I meditate and devote time to visualizing 3 things: My life with a Soul Mate, accomplishing goals I'm working to achieve, and living in the home I will one day have. I know that the better I can see it with my mind's eye and feel the experiences energetically, the faster they will arrive in my life.On this Divine Feminine solo episode, I share more about the powerful benefits of developing a visualization practice. How it can not only help you formulate and conceptualize what you really want, it can also enable you to begin to feel what it would be like to be in the energy of having what you desire in your lives. Then it's only a matter of bringing the energy into physicality and, Bam! Manifestation! I offer ways to begin a practice of visualization, different types of visualizing, and how to work with the creation process.

What does being a Mother mean to you? Have you ever stopped to think about it? Predominately we think of a Woman who has had a child and is caring for and raising that beautiful being.

* Originally released in October 2023, this episode offers a moment to slow down and remember that you deserve to enjoy being you. Wished of love and gratitude to each and every one of you. *It's remarkable how naturally Humans tend to take things for granted. So often we yearn & yearn for something, only to dismiss it once we get it & ask, "what's next?" When we neglect to take time to appreciate the things we have in our lives, what we have achieved and who we have become, we miss out on the glory of delighting in & enjoying ourselves and the gifts we possess. The definition of appreciation is expressed admiration and approval. This is what we want to start offering ourselves, in all situations, if we're ready to begin truly coming into our own Divine Feminine light of love & peace with ourselves.On today's Identify & Heal Solo episode, I offer ways to identify the mental patterns we develop that keep us focused on lack & scarcity and ways to shift them to see the assets and value present instead. Then I explore deeper into what it means to truly appreciate something and how it can be the game changer in bringing about true abundance & the life we've always dreamed of having.

As someone who has officially (gulp) reached mid-life, I can say that despite some of the daunting realizations (I got old??) there are so many wonderful REVElations that occur. One of them being that we have a ton of learned wisdom to share. My guest this week, Katie Rose, wrote her most recent book, Yoni Codes: Reclaim the Power to Heal, by taking inventory of her life and sharing the ways she had found to heal, grow, and persevere. Katie Rose is a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic educator, and author based in Sydney, Australia. Over the past 30 years she has taught and mentored thousands of women, published several books, and built a global community of over 28,000. Her book grew from her own experiences of trauma and healing, and explores how women can access their own codes of power through Ayurveda, ritual, and goddess archetypes. At its heart, it’s about how when we heal ourselves, we heal lineages — and how reclaiming the feminine can bring profound change.On this guest episode, Katie shares about how the yoni is both a physical and spiritual gateway and how she sees modern women reclaiming this sacred power in everyday life. She also speaks to how her book blends yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, and personal storytelling and why she wove these threads together as well as the recurring wounds & themes she noticed after working with thousands of women through Bhakti Rose.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY! How fun to have Halloween on a Friday this year! So I had to jump in and record something special & spooky for you all to give you something to listen to while you carve pumpkins prepare for the arrival of trick-or-treaters. On this special Halloween solo episode I get into a bit of the history of Halloween and Dia De Los Muertos as well as share some personal experiences with entities/ghosts and tell a very creepy true story of a Witch's curse. I had a lot of fun recording it and hope you have just as much fun listening! And wherever you and whatever you're doing I hope you have a safe and fabulous Halloween!Mr. Ballin, https://youtu.be/OLVA5CLsZ8g?si=HIQnKfX5T3dWO5HhNyala Healer's Directory, https://nyalahealing.com/directory/healers/whitney-walker_2128957111W.I.T.C.H Oracle, https://www.spiritelement.co/prettypowerfulthings/witch-oracle-angi-sullins-review-rt4pwDonations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated 💗 Thank you for being here  🤗  Venmo: Whitney-Walker-35Join the Women Waken Community on Instagram Here: https://tinyurl.com/522duz2c Feel free to reach out to me to see how we can work together and send your questions, feedback, and requests for future solo episodes here: Whitney Walker, LMFTLicense # 107082www.WomenWaken.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profi...Whitney@WomenWaken.comIG: @Womenwaken

Humans are not meant to merely survive. We were born to THRIVE. To live into our full, pure potential as a spark of the Divine Universe. My guest this week, Stephanie Nelson, holds this truth dearly. Yet she also recognizes that if we're being honest with ourselves, the grind and pressure of life not only feels far from thriving, it can seem nearly unlivable. The stress. The pain. The exhaustion. The endless cycle of doing, overdoing, and abandoning yourself just to keep up.  Feeling constantly on edge—dysregulated, overwhelmed, disconnected from who you really are. Stephanie wants Women of the World to know that you're not broken. You're not lazy. You're not too sensitive. Your nervous system is sounding the alarm—and you’ve never been taught how to listen.On this guest episode Stephanie shares her wisdom on what anxiety really is, how Anxiety, depression, and other struggles aren’t flaws or disorders, they’re survival strategies. She also speaks to the losing game of stress reduction and stress healing vs. stress reduction, how nervous system harmony unlocks healing, and how Stephanie facilitates nervous system harmony rather than regulation. In her words "you can’t regulate your way out of dysregulation". Nervous system healing helps shift patterns like chronic pain, anxiety, gut issues, ADHD, and perfectionism. She also breaks down everyday somatic hygiene, simple, everyday practices to weave nervous system care into your day. This is the foundation of Stephanie’s program, RESOURCED. And of course we get caught up in beautiful conversation around all these topics and have a blast exploring how Women and humans as a whole can come to have such greater quality and joy in life.  Bio:Stephanie Nelson is a trauma-informed somatic coach, nervous system practitioner, and founder of The Stress Healers. Once a workaholic who couldn’t rest without guilt (or without another glass of wine) she knows what it’s like to feel anxious, scattered, and overwhelmed no matter how hard you try. Somatics revealed a different path... one where the body, not the mind or another to-do list, holds the key to the healing and freedom you deserve. Now she helps high-achieving women stop bracing for life and start living it, guiding them into confidence, clarity, and the fulfillment they’ve been missing.Links:Instagram - @the.stress.healersWebsite - www.thestresshealers.com

“You've always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.”― The Wizard of OzI hate that to admit that it's true, yet I have spent most of my life thinking there was something very wrong with me. Defective. Disfigured. Doomed. This state of mind has improved and healed greatly over the years yet at times it still rears it's gnarly head and haunts me. The idea that NOTHING is WRONG with me (or you!)has been a theme/ message that kept popping up this year so I decided it was time to sit down and record about it.On this solo episode I discuss the detriment to the human Soul that is wondering; what is wrong with me? To question your value, worth, abilities, intelligence, lovability, and if you even matter. Terrible feeling. When did this develop, why has it inflicted Humans for so long, and what can we do about it? I explore these and other questions as well as share my own experience and recent revelations around keeping my spirits and standards high and not keeping anything around in my life that is Not For Me in an attempt to prove that there is nothing wrong with me.
