Past Season Episodes
Taking Up Space and Aligning My Message with Bethany Hawkins
I often speak about alignment and about the flow that comes with embodying your purpose, but the journey to alignment can be long and confusing with all sorts of unexpected twists and turns. How do you know when you are truly aligned? What do you look for? What does it feel like? A common misconception about alignment is that it is always easy, always smooth. If I'm being honest, alignment comes with a lot of unexpected and sometimes difficult shit and it's ALL a part of the journey. Today's guest is the perfect example of how complex and dynamic the journey towards alignment can be. Join Bethany Hawkins and I as we talk about her journey to alignment and why it's important for Women of Color to take up space and build community throughout.
Our Voices Are Power with Elsie Escobar
Being able to use our voices can sometimes come with a lot of obstacles. Finding the ability within us to wield and embody our voice requires practice and uncomfortability. It is hard but not impossible. Our voices are powerful and through them we can create new ways of being that truly awaken not only us but the people around us. Today's guest is a testament of the power you can access when you tap into your voice. Join Elsie Escobar and I for a deeply grounding coloring session where we uncover Elsie's journey of embodying and embracing her own voice, how the voice can be a transformational tool and how it is all connected.
