*. 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.

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.

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. Together we discuss why women’s communities and circles are so powerful for healing, how ancient practices like Ayurveda and yoga support trauma recovery, & the importance of women speaking uncensored truths.

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.
