You have goals, dreams, desires, yes? Things you want to achieve, change, manifest, see happen? Ever feel like they are not happening fast enough or happening to the level you wanted or expected or see other people achieving? Ever judged yourself for not being where you think you should be now? Or put pressure on yourself with deadlines and timelines that you needed to do things by that stressed you out? Welcome to being a woman in the 21st century influenced by an overculture whose expectations for growth and success are completely distorted! And tune into this Feminine Power Time so we can support you to do it differently.

I've been working on my next book Overwhelmed and Over It! and thinking a lot about all of you and me and all of the women and courageous conscious men who have a big heart desire to make a difference in the world AND who desire to achieve their personal dreams and desires AND who want to be sustained materially and spiritually, and not have to sell their soul for money or have no money to keep their soul.

What I see so often is that we have not been taught how to work and grow our work, careers, and wealth in ways that really work, for how women or really humans work. So we exhaust ourselves, or our resources. Or we never feel like we are doing enough. Or we try and do too much.

So I took a pause from writing, to pop my head out and share this Feminine Power Time with you: Achieve Succeed Receive: How Women Grow Their Work, Careers and Wealth best. 

A few thing we dive into:

• How our personal expectations on ourselves for growth are influenced, not in a supportive way, by the over culture
• The Self Induced Pressure Cookers - the different ways you can put unnecessary pressure on yourself, your team, your organization based on timelines that are so not in rhythm. 
• The Impatience Club. Are you a member?
• Broken internal timing belts. Have one? 
• How women naturally grow - you'll love this!
• How to think about how you grow your work, career and wealth in a way that feels supportive and successful vs. stressful and short. 

I look forward to tuning in with you. Press pause. Tune in.

Crazy Wisdom: Conjuring Up Courage, Clarity and Calm in Intense Times

Feminine Wisdom Way 2020

Vision, Lead, Succeed and Live the Way Women Work Best

Opens first week of November. To receive the invitation go to
www.FeminineWisdomWay.com

I would love more time! I wish I had more time! Oh, if I only had more time. I feel like I don't have enough time to do it all. Most of us feel the pressure of not enough time a lot. Our society thrives on time pressure, although you and I do not. While there are lots of ways timelines and deadlines get imposed on us that we don't have control over. There are many ways that you are creating your own stress and lack of time - which you can change and control. Obligation. Guilt. Worry. Over Efforting. That's where we dive in!

My mission in this Feminine Power Time podcast: Time Sucks & Time Stealers: 3 Ways to Stop Wasting Your Time SO You Have the Space for What Matters is to give you three very specific things to watch out for in the way you are making your choices that could be robbing time from you. Making you feel like you don't have enough time ... and filling up your time so you are busy doing too much... stealing time from what matters to you.

My intention is that you'll be able to identify these 3 time stealers and then use the practices and wisdom inquiries I share to make different choices ... to do the last part of this year differently, including the holidays, how you focus in your career/business, how you make sure there is space for what really matters to you. 

Here's what we will dive into:

• The 3 Time Suckers - Obligation, Guilt, Worry (and over efforting).
• How to tell when you are wasting time or letting your time get sucked away from you
• Why guilt is an inappropriate emotion for almost all the ways in which you feel guilty - and what to do about it
• How to stop acting from obligation and get clear on what you want to do and give
• How to give the right amount of time, energy and effort to a project or person
• And more.. 

Here are the Wisdom Inquiries from the show:

OBLIGATION
- What do I want to give? What is in alignment to give?

GUILT

- What am I afraid of? 
- What don't I want to deal with? 
- What do I want?

WORRY & OVER EFFORTING

- What is needed now?

Retreats

Sacred Rebel. Sacred Work. Wisdom Quest. Nov 7-10th. www.WomensWisdomQuest.com 

I decided to extend our Power Pause into a 2-part series because I felt like we could use it! Lots of people feeling pressure, as we go into the last 3 months of the year. But that doesn't mean the pressure is healthy, needed or productive!

I'm going to take you through a mini version of a Feminine Wisdom Way practice I do once a year at this time to ferret out the "SELF INDUCED PRESSURE" - the pressure you put yourself that adds to your stress load, triggers your self sabotaging habits, drains your life force and sucks the joy out of whatever you are doing. 

Self induced pressure is pressure you have the power to release.

You may not be able to change all the systemic pressure coming at you from $$ to deadlines to taxes or whatever. But you can change the self induced pressure. 

Which is what we will do together in this Feminine Power Time with me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor, "Pressure Release Power Pause: 3 Ways to Release the Self-Induced Stress & Create Space and Sanity for the Rest of the Year. 

Here's some of what we will dive into:

• The difference between healthy and helpful pressure, and toxic sabotaging pressure 
• How to tell when you are feeling pressured - the mental, physical and emotional signs 
• One simple practice for what to do when you feel pressured so you can discern what is really needed and what is just a bunch of b.s. man made or self made pressure
• A set of 4 inquiries you can ask yourself
• How to reset timelines in a way that feels good and in the flow  

We will dive into your life now, and ferret out the self induced pressure you can release because of

• Timelines, deadlines, and time frames - yours and others  
• Pushing - yourself, others, projects 
• Unrealistic and misaligned Expectations

This is such a supportive power power to do that will impact your career/work/business and your relationships AND your own sense of spaciousness, health and even money. 

Wise women leaders pause before they move swiftly into the last 3 months of the year - this is the feminine wisdom way. Try this short practice and see what happens.

WISDOM INQUIRIES 

1. What is real?
2. What is needed?
3. What is enough? 
4. What is in the flow?

 SAVE THE DATE:

- Feminine Wisdom Session coming up - free - in late Oct/early Nov. 

- Feminine Wisdom Way - Leading, Living and Succeeding a new way opens in November. 

- Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator - starts Jan 2020. Accepting Applications starting November. 

There are many things you could do these last 3 months of the year, but what is really most important to you? What will bring you the best returns? And what shifts in your habits, patterns, and structures are needed to support you in this last cycle?  

Wise women know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support them to grow their work, wealth and relationships, to support their health, and to keep them focused on what matters.

The September Equinox offers you insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force  - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported.

In this Feminine Power Time with women's leadership and empowerment advisor and teacher, Christine Arylo, marries her MBA business background with 15+ years of wisdom and spiritual study in practical ways that can support you to elevate out of overhwelm, stay focused on what matters, shift sabotaging habits and take care of small things that make a big difference. 

Tune into this Power Pause and:

• Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year - and how this practice can yield big returns in your business, career, relationships and health/wealth/home
• Experience the feminine way of growing our work and impact vs tackling projects, driving like a torpedo, or pressuring ourselves to make things happen too fast

Be led through a visualization and meditation to:

• Feel good about what you have already done this year. 
• Reveal the imbalances - work, relationships, health, wealth or home - that need attention.
• Consider what you need to bring the imbalances into harmony, so you have what you need 
• Gain clarity on how to best focus your attention the last part of this year - what will bring you the most meaningful and abundant harvest? 

Power Pauses are a form of feminine leadership which teaches us to work in harmony with the natural cycles of how the material and mystical world both work. Part of her Feminine Wisdom School, Arylo teaches how to use this ancient wisdom and way of working to apply to creating a life and work that creates an impact and is sustainable.

I've been talking with so many people who have been feeling the affects of the intensity of the state of the world, the intense weather, their own intense changing lives... and there is a lot of anxiety bubbling up that leads to doubt, confusion, burnout, overwhelm. So I thought we needed to have a honest heart to heart about:

Anxiety & Doubt: How to Release and Reduce the Confusion & Swirl Within You

* How do you know if anxiety and doubt is driving you? Some of you know because you can feel it in your body. But others of you are masking over it. Stuffing your anxiety and doubt with food, drink, tv, shopping, work? Neither way is good for us. 

* What is causing the anxiety and doubt at amplified levels that you might not know are affecting you? It is normal to have fear. Normal to feel worry or anxiety at times. But the levels we are dealing with right now, adding to the overwhelm, are being caused in large part by events, technology and other people. 

* What is underneath the anxiety that you may be having trouble accessing, so it keeps you in overwhelm, worry, doubt, confusion? I'll share a story of mine that reflects the deep grief many women feel at a heart level for what is happening to the planet, to the children, to the people that they don't know how to be with or release.

* How do you release this anxiety and doubt? So you can access clarity and calm and wisdom? I'll share some simple but mighty practices you can use in your daily life to release the anxiety and breakthrough to clarity and calm. I use these myself. 

I've been feeling so passionate about sharing this story with you and some of the practices I use myself. 

We live in intense times. If you are not practicing actively protecting your energy field, releasing the deeper grief or fear, it's like not taking a shower for weeks. Eventually your mind and subconscious will stink and your will be an emotional or physical mess. This is yogic wisdom for our modern world. 

My role is to continue to help us be awake to what is happening around and within us. And to share the practices that can keep us centered, clear, in our hearts and higher intelligence to be agents for change, love, elevation and harmony in this world. In sustainable ways.

I hope this episode of Feminine Power Time - Ep #102: Anxiety & Doubt: How to Release and Reduce the Confusion & Swirl Within You - supports you wherever this finds you today. 

with great heart,

Christine

Online Programs and In Person Events and
Retreats Coming UP 

Should you trust your logic and rationale brain or your deeper inner feelings and knowing when making choices? How do you know when to listen to the data or the numbers, and when to trust your heart and make a choice against what the numbers say? Do you tend to rely more on your intellect or your intuition to guide you, and how is that helping you or hurting you? 

Join me and my partner in life and love, Noah Martin, for #3 in our Making Wise Choices series on Feminine Power Time: Using the Power of Both Your Head & Heart. 

I invited Noah to join us because he masterful at using both the head and the heart together to make wise choices (join us and you'll learn more why.)

Here is some of what we will dive into together. Bring with you the choice points you are standing at, and / or choices you have made in the past ... because we make this personal to you, so that you can make wiser choices in all parts of your life.

• What having access to both our intellect and our intuition gives you
• When you want to use your intellect - its' good at this - and when you want to trust your intuition (intellect sucks at this)
• What bad choices made from the heart look like
• What bad choice made from the head look like
• Determine if you tend to over-rely on the head or the heart, and how that can be sabotaging you
• How to get underneath the unconscious drivers of your decisions so you don't make impulsive choices from fear, or make a choice thinking you are getting on thing, but you get another. 

Tools like

• The feminine leadership Power Spectrum of aligned intuition and intellect and distorted uses of both  
• The Known and Unknown Clarity and Courage Booster

And 4 Wisdom Inquiries Noah shared to run yourself through to get underneath what is driving any choice you are making:

1. What is the dream that is underlying this decision? And does it actually help you get to the dream? 

2. What is the fear? 

3. What is your tendency towards making choices - do you lean to being overly optimistic or overly pessimistic? What is that part saying? 

4. What does your Inner Wisdom know?

Fierce Grace Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator - Starts November 2019 

If you are making choices that stretch you out of your comfort zone or go against the status quo you should expect fear to bubble up. It's normal and human. But how do you deal with the confusion, doubt, anxiety, frustration, impatience in a way that empowers you to make wise choices? And how do you get past it to find the wisdom that will actually guide you to making the wise and aligned choice for you? 

The truth is that most of us were not taught how to work with the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic responses and reactions our bodies, minds, hearts and psyches have when we make choices that stretch us, or trigger past trauma, hurt or suffering. 

But when you know how to work with both the parts of you that react from fear and past trauma or cultural or familial imprints AND the part of you connected to your true soul design and heart desires, you can the super power to elevate out of the doubt and confusion, into a inner knowing that empowers you to take action. 

In #2 of our Making Wise Choices series on Feminine Power Time with me, Christine Arylo, "Is Fear or Wisdom Guiding You? Clear Confusion & Doubt to Get to Your Truth":  we will dive into:

• How to understand the different forces within you that influence your choices 
• How to use the doubt, fear, confusion to make better choices and get what you need. 
• Why you can't ignore your emotional reactions if you want to make wise choices
• How to discern whether it's your inner critic/fear/past trauma/imprints making your choices or your inner wisdom
• The Ping Pong effect - what to do when you get caught in this or that thinking. 
• Practices for strengthening your clarity, including a 3-part practice you can do right now with the choices you are making

Bring whatever choices you are working with. You don't have to navigate this alone!

Wisdom byte:

• You must give yourself the space to feel your emotion before you can find the path to the wise choice. 
• When you stretch out of your comfort zone, it's normal to have fear and doubt. Just don't let it drive your choices. 
• Your feelings are your super power. 
• Your heart is your power center. Know how it works or you only operate at half of your intelligence. 

Wisdom Inquiry:

Journal or talk this out regarding a choice point or situation you have decisions to make:

1. What is known?
2. What is still a mystery?
3. What support do I need to make wise choices?

Fierce Grace Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator - Starts November 2019 

You make choices every day. Every choice we make - big or small - affects the shape of our lives and the reality we live. But most of us were not taught how to make wise decisions. We’ve been taught to be logical, and practical, but decisions about your life made from only the intellect often lead you to creating realties that limit you, burn you out, keep you from what you truly desire.

In changing, intense times like we live in, where we are each making choices - in our career, relationships, business, money and health - you cannot just rely on your intellect or what the mainstream world is telling you to make courageous and wise choices. 

Many of the choices I see women being faced with right now are also causing us to have to stretch outside our comfort zones … which can create feelings of fear and doubt… confusion and procrastination… and stress!

If you want to make choices that lead to a reality that supports you vs sacrifices you, you have to access both your heart wisdom and intuitive power first … have the inner skill to work with your own fear and confusion to find clarity… and then have the courage to make choices that will often look differently than others. And for this you need super powers, truly.

Which is why I decided to create this 3 part series on Feminine Power Time for you “Making Wise Choices”.

This first episode is focused on one of the super power tools I believe is essential … but most people lack. It’s called “Cultivating Your Wisdom Council” — without this I don’t think it is possible to stay focused on what matters, and make truly wise choices.

So tune in … I taped this on location in Northern California at the home of one of my soul sisters on my Wise Woman Council. during a weekend in which I came to visit 3 of the members of my council to help me make some big choices about my business and organization, and the shape of the reality those choices would create.

What I will share today is:

• Why you want to make WISE CHOICES vs. smart choices.
• What is a wisdom council, and why do you want to make sure you have one?
• How to create your own Wisdom Council
• Who to have in your council and who not to
• How to ask for the support and clarity you need so you get wisdom not advice.
  
  I also have two daring acts for you to put this into place in your life now. 

Bring the choices and challenges you are facing ... and let's get you set up to have the support you need to stay clear and stay connected to what is true for you.

see you next week!
much love,

Christine

Fierce Grace Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator - Starts November 2019 

You know your lungs need oxygen to breathe. You know your heart needs love to feel safe and supported. You know your body needs water to survive. But did you know that your soul needs joy to thrive? And that more than likely due to the pressures of your life, your soul is hungering deeply for the joy it's being starved from. And this is affecting your health, your feelings of happiness, and even your real wealth. This is not coachy blah blah... this is straight up feminine wisdom for how you make sure that you have what you need to thrive in these intense times. 

Are you happy? really? Do you feel fulfilled? Do you feel like you have the space in your life you need? Do you feel like your life is nourishing you? We need you to feel JOY inside so you can make the impact you desire to make! It cannot be about all work, taking care of others and giving without you receiving! 

Last week I delivered a COURAGE boost to your heart, to help you receive the love you need to feel courageous and be courageous in your choices now and ahead.

This week's Feminine Power Time is a JOY BOOST - I am sending directly to your SOUL to increase your levels of wellness, contentment, happiness now ... not for when you go on vacation or reach nirvana. To make it through these times, our souls need JOY daily. Receiving joy is a choice, a practice both. 

So many amazing beings I know are trapped in life designs that do not support their soul and inner harmony. We consciously choose to do this differently... today we dive into:

• What is Christine talking about when she says JOY is SOUL FOOD - and why I want to know this.
• Signs that you are starving for joy 
• Checking in with yourself about how you are treating your body and soul - a workhorse, neglected child, race horse, something to whip into shape
• The Feminine Leadership Principle and self love promise of #designalifeilove - how to use this to make change in your life 
• Are you savoring your life or speeding through it?
• 3 wisdom inquiries to relfect on what really nourishes your soul - so you can start making sure you get this daily, or before you deplete yourself. 

Consciously cultivating JOY as part of your daily life design and overall life design is one of the wisest choices you can make... do not discount it as woo woo, new agey or for later. Doing so will save you time, energy and money and more importantly will make sure the life you are living in the one you really want. 

Self awareness Inquiries: (taken from The Path of Self Love) 

• I feel more free / most free when ... 
• If I could do something just because it made me happy, I would choose to...
• I just love to... (answer this for yourself today, but also as what you loved when you were a little person.)  

GRACE UNDER PRESSURE PRACTICE
* As part of your evening downshifting, ask, "Did I receive JOY today?" If not, ask what would give you joy and do that before you go to bed!

** Please Rate, Review and Share!

** And take the survey to share with me what you desire at www.FemininePowerTimeSurvey.com 

What is currently stretching you? Catalyzing or challenging you? Calling you to release, shed, complete so that you can step into what is next? In your career, relationships, community, family, health or wealth? And could you use a boost of courage and clarity to make choices, release the old and step forward?

Good! Me too! Which is why I created this Feminine Power Time for you. Its is a Courage and Clarity boost that will strengthen your CLARITY about:

• What you are being guided to release and let go so you can make space for the new 
• What roles & responsibilities no longer serve you, in your work or relationships, so you can consciously complete them
• What the next steps are in the short term so you can stop short circuiting yourself or stressing yourself out about not knowing the how.
• How to strengthen your trust in the Universe and your self trust to make wise choices and courageous leaps. 

COURAGE SO YOU CAN:

• Take leaps into what's calling you in your work, relationships and expression, now
• Have the inner self confidence to step forward even if you can't see ahead or don't know the path
• Make wise choices grounded in both reality and possibility 

I've been doing these Feminine Wisdom for Intense and Changing Time episodes for a while, and based on the survey feedback I received so far, I'm going to make them part of the regular rotation.

In between the 4 major Power Pause times - Solstices and Equinoxes - there are 4 minor 'super power days' when the earth and cosmos make an energetic shift.

In the Feminine Wisdom Way we use the minor shifts to add 'love' and wisdom to whatever we are growing and tending in our lives - be that our work, relationships, health, wealth or presence.

Here at Feminine Power Time, I'll bring a simpler version to you, focused on what I'm guided to share, and what wisdom inquiries are connected to that specific time. 

This Courage and Clarity Boost was taped on the super power of day of Lammas, August 1st - but you can listen any time and get the benefit. Lammas is a day for being at choice to what you are going to harvest this year and what will also affect your year next year. It's a time we use the feminine super power of Catalyze to consciously choose what roles, responsibilities and ways of expressing we want to SHED so we can be free to express who we desire to be now, and to have the space to grow in what our soul is calling for. 

Enjoy the Clarity and Courage Boost! I'm shedding right along with you too!

Wisdom Inquiries:

1. What is stretching and catalyzing me right now? In my work, relationships, health, wealth or personal expression?

2. What do I need to shed or let go of to make room for what's wanting to emerge - Roles? Responsibilties? Robes of Repression, in my work or relationships? 

3. What is the next step for me to take? Just the next step?

4. What does my Inner Mean Gir/Guy - that inner force of fear, doubt -- have to say about making this shift? 

5. What does my Inner Wisdom know is true?

Transform Your Inner Critic. Empower Your Inner Wisdom - Path of Self Love Training. Starts Sept 26th. 

Sacred Rebel. Sacred Work. Vision Quest Weekend for Women. Early November 2019.

Fierce Grace Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator - Starts November 2019 

We live in a time when you just can't plan out your life 3, 5, 10 years in advance and then follow 'the plan' - although our minds and desires for safety would love that. We live in a time when the world is changing fast, and we are each being 'called up' to new sacred assignments, ways of living and working that our soul signed up for.

These 'soul stretches' and catalysts are calling for us each to step out of comfort zones and step into into a zone where we often can't see how it will work out, how it can work out and if it will work out.

This is where the Feminine Wisdom teaching - the feminine super power of Stepping in the Unknown comes in. It's a different way of operating that most of us were not taught, but it is a REAL thing. In this Feminine Power Time, Stepping in the Unknown with Courage and Clarity to Chart the Path Ahead: Planning the Feminine Wisdom Way, the 3rd in our series on Feminine Wisdom, I'll share the wisdom teaching on Stepping in the Unknown. And make it personal for you so you can work with it and can step through the changes coming with grace and courage, feeling and being supported, including:

• Why the way we've been trained to plan and strategize and create goals won't work - and an elevated, wiser way to approach creating your work, life, relationships that does
   
• Wisdom about your Soul Codex  - what it is, how it to activate, access and align with it so you can access the wisdom needed to chart your path ahead and find you way 
  
• How you can find your way through the uncertainty and unknown - so you don't get lost in the dark or get scared and turn back or move too fast or stretch too far and screw yourself up 
  
• How to create a 'path' for crossing whatever threshold your soul is calling you into - there is a wise way and a stupid way to make changes :) 
  
• Stories about how I've navigated the unknown to make choices from courage, and worked with other women to cross thresholds - there is wisdom to tell us how to "do" this differently
  
• Personal reflection and meditation on your current threshold crossings - so we can make sure you don't try and straddle the grand canyon or get lost in the wilderness

If you missed the previous Feminine Wisdom Series episodes, #68 on Intuitive Attunement & #67 on Synchronicity with guest Nilima Bhat from Shakti Leadership, tune in! 

I WOULD LOVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT YOU WANT MORE OF!!

Finally the Feminine Power Time Survey is ready for your input. Please go to www.FemininePowerTimeSurvey.com and share your thoughts ... THANK YOU! I will be reading them all. 

Why do we consume things that are not good for our bodies? That make us feel sluggish, heavy, not at our best? Why do we believe that doing another diet, cleanse, or fast is going to finally be the trick? What if there were deeper reasons, unknown reasons to you, that drove the sabotaging choices that you make about what you put in, on and within your body? There are! 

In this Feminine Power Time, the 3rd in our 3 part series on Receiving, I knew we had to dive into how a lack of receiving what we need in other areas of our lives, drives our choices for how we consume food, liquids, media, everything. And how a lack of receiving the wisdom we need vs. more information on the latest diet or super food or quick fix is keeping us from the wisdom of how our bodies really work as women. 

So I invited a new wise woman sister to join us - a true sacred rebel, here to do things differently, Ms. Carly Pollack, author of the book "Feed Your Soul" and founder of Nutritional Wisdom to dive in deep with us and illuminate both the deeper reasons within ourselves and the hidden reasons in the overculture that keep us from having the vibrant, radiant, healthy bodies we desire.

I invite you to tune in, as we dive into this episode "Feed Your Soul Instead of Sabotage Your Body" and OPEN TO RECEIVE more of the wisdom and self-love you need to make choices that support you vs sabotage you. 

In our conversation today we dive into:

• Getting Real: Why the basic consciousness about dieting, cleansing and eating healthy keeps you stuck in yo yo weight gain and loss, or in an unhealthy and unhappy relationship with your body
• Getting Wise: Elevate your consciousness around your relationship to everything you put INTO and ON your body  
• Getting in Touch with Your Self: How what you put on your plate reflects your inner state. And how to get in touch with how what you are lacking in other areas of your life are showing up in your body. 
• Getting Inspired: 3 Invitations to Making Shift Happen in a way that feels good and supportive - Carly and I will give you 3 simple but mighty invitations to applying wisdom to how you approach choosing to ingest things that are GOOD for you
• Making it Personal: We will tune into your body and heart to see what it is that you are really needing to RECEIVE that your body and soul is craving ... so you can give it to yourself in ways that nourish you. 

It's a rich conversation with lots of #wisdombytes and inspiration. You will feel more open and more connected to yourself. Come and join us!

There is SO much you could do the rest of the year, so much and so many you could give to, but what really matters to you??

One of the smartest things we can do at the mid year point is to pause, reflect, realign and redesign what we are going to focus our life force, resources and time on. This is true for how you run your work life - business, team, organization, career, classroom, etc. And how you run your personal life - wealth, health, home, relationships. For SO many reasons. 

This is what I call taking a Power Pause. It's a feminine wisdom way practice and a feminine leadership success principle. It's how we make sure we create realities that are both successful in what we desire to create and cause AND that are sustainable. 

It's also a best practice for getting out of overwhelm and the feelings that you are never doing enough or have enough. 

I've been doing Power Pauses myself for a decade and every year at this time I teach mid year power pauses, which I call FLOW for focus your life force on what matters, in many different forms. A virtual program/retreat, in person retreats and for women's leadership groups and teams within organizations. 

For you beloved Feminine Power Time listener, 4x a year I do these special Power Pause episodes that include 6 inquiries that are like a Power Pause appetizer. They give you a taste of the full process, and enough of a taste to give you some wisdom bytes about what you truly desire this coming year. 

In this episode, "POWER PAUSE: It's Mid-Year, Time to Reflect & Redirect: 6 Inquiries to Get Focused On What Really Matters to You the Rest of the Year" I will share with you

• How to make sure all parts of your life get love and attention, so you don't end up lopsided, out of balance, or giving up what really matters. 
• Why our productivity, happiness and impact increases when we work with the natural flow of the earth

And I will take you on a guided journey to:

• CELEBRATE & ACKNOWLEDGE all you have done all ready this year! So you feel like you have done enough
• GAIN CLARITY ON WHAT TRULY MATTERS TO YOU - so you make space for what you really want
• FOCUS YOUR LIFE FORCE NOW so come next year, what you desire is coming into form
• CREATE SPACE by letting go of what's not working or needed, or by moving things to 'maintance mode".

In the Feminine Power Time, I'll share 6 inquiries, which I also listed below. I invite you to journal on them. Invite a friend or your partner out to dinner to share about them. And then if you want to really receive the benefit of the mid year Power Pause, take the online version, you can do at your own pace or join me at one of the in person weekends or evening workshops.

INQUIRIES:

1. Celebrate and acknowledge one thing you have done this year. Acknowledge one way you have made a difference in a persons life this year.

2. What would you love to have the space to do this year? 

3. What would you like to be true by next year?

4. What has the potential to flourish if you focus on it?

5. What needs to be let go? Composted.

6. What can you put on maintenance mode to make space to grow other things?

Our human heart needs love to thrive just like our lungs need oxygen to survive. We are taught to be strong, have self esteem and project confidence. We desire to have meaningful ‘relationships’ in both our ‘romantic’ life and ‘friend’ life. But most women I know are lacking the connection, support, intimacy, affection, and acknowledgment they need and desire in both areas of their life.

Why?

We are weak receivers. Our capacity to receive the love, support, care, intimacy - aka your Love Quotient - is low. So even if the love and connection comes, you don’t actually let it in, really.

We’ve had to protect ourselves and so have built walls around us or become like teflon. So the connection cannot really get through.

We are so busy doing, we don’t have the space for true connection.

And more…

In this Feminine Power Time, "Receive More Love, Connection, & Support in Your Relationships", #2 in our series called OPEN TO RECEIVE, Christine Arylo dives into the realm of intimate relationships. Your life partner relationship and your sisterhood and deep soul family.

Tune in to reveal and become more aware of:

• Where and how you are blocking the love, support, connection, intimacy, acknowledgment, affection you desire
• Signs you are blocking love and support
• Your specific self-sabotaging love strategy for protecting yourself - which is repelling the connection you desire
• Simple but might practices for opening yourself to receive more connection, support, care, love, community
• 4 inquires to take into your life laboratory and gain more self awareness to how you are pushing away that which you desire in your relationships
• How you show up in your friendships connect to how you show up in your romantic relationships
• How your relationships - or lack of - affect your success in your career and work life 

Most of all come to press a pause on all the pressure you put on yourself to achieve in your career or to take care of others …. and be honest that you desire more love, connection and support in your life.

This episode of FemininePower Time is a choice to create space for what truly matters to your heart. That doesn’t make you weak. it makes you wise and a woman.

Wisdom Inquiries

Consider the relationships you desire - in your beloved partnership life and in your sisterhood (for women), brotherhood (for men) or soul circle for any gender. Notice what you desire. And what is true now.

1.   What am I protecting myself from?

2.  What strategies am I employing to protect myself?  Over protecting? Over giving? Walls around my Heart? Teflon affect?

3. What opens my heart?

4. What do I desire to receive in my beloved partnership? in my soul circle?  Connection? Camaderie? Intimacy? Recognition? Acknoweldgement? Affection?

Then go into your life and notice when you are contracting away from the love,  and when you are expanding.

Choose to expand your love quotient - use the mantra I OPEN TO RECEIVE!

SAVE THE DATE - 

Choosing ME & WE 40-Day Practice 

Cultivate the Loving, Supportive Relationships You Desire & Deserve

Starts August 1st 

How do you achieve what you desire in your work and career, and receive the financial flow you need without driving, striving, pushing, and working so much your life gets out of whack? Or you feel depleted because you are giving, working and doing so much, but not receiving the money, support, space, time, appreciation and recognition desire and deserve?

We have been bred to be strong achievers and self less care givers, but few of us have been taught how to be strong receivers. We've been taught to be ambitious in order to be successful, so we approach our work, career and businesses like a racehorse with a strong desire for success and achievement. But even if we get 'there' - it doesn't feel like enough. We cannot receive it. 

A big part of my work in teaching feminine leadership and living and leading the feminine wisdom way is in teaching and living myself the feminine super power of RECEIVING.

A lack of receiving is at the root of all burnout, overwhelm, self sacrifice, overworking, over giving, feeling dissatisifed in your work, relationships and making self sabotaging choices about what you consume.

So... I thought we should dive into RECEIVING. 

This three part series of Feminine Power Time is called OPEN TO RECEIVE. 

In this first Open to Receive episode: 95: Achieving Success + Receiving What You Need in Your Work and Wealth we:

• Reveal the difference between ambition and achieving and why ambition is not what you want to focus on.
• Explore how you can develop a strong capacity to receive what you need and achieve your purpose/dream/etc. without sacrificing yourself
• Do a short but mighty meditation to explore what you desire to receive in your work and wealth NOW and how you might be blocking receiving it
• How to clear about what is really driving you - are you striving from your ego or a love crack? Or acting powerfully from your strong whole self? 
• Practices for getting clear on what you desire to achieve in your work this second half of the year and then OPEN to receive it
• How to work with the Universe so that you can relax control and open to receive more support and what you need in your work 

Tune in.

And come back for the next OPEN TO RECEIVE session, focused on opening to receive the love, support, connection you desire in relationship. 

Draw the Feminine Leadership Power Spectrum I gave you in this session for Receiving and Achieving. 

Tune into the Overwhelmed and Over It Series if you missed it. 

And to PRACTICE receiving in really practical ways you can use to focus your energy and time and money in your work, and receive what you need come to these:

4. The Path of Self Love Teacher Training - Kripalu - July 21-26 www.SelfLoveRetreat.com 

As we approach the mid year point, ask yourself how is the pace and rhythm of your life working for you? Are you focused on what matters? Do you even have the space to focus on what matters? The truth is the swirl of the world & the pace of the systems you work in aren't going to slow down... but you do have the power within you to set the rhythm of your life differently.

But... "You only discover balance in your life when you learn to trust the flow of the ancient rhythm" - john O'Donohue. 

What does that mean? I will share more with you...  

I broadcast this episode the last two years at this same time, and decided to share it again because as I listened to it myself today I was inspired by what I said. I couldn't say it better a second time. 

So using two feminine leadership principles I'll share at the start of our conversation, I share this timeless wisdom with you for this time now. Tune in xoxo.

About this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo:

We lead crazy paced lives in part because we have made the unconscious choice to allow the rhythm of our life to be dictated by the pace the patriarchy and over culture has set - keeping us frenzied, fragmented and not focused on what truly matters.

And there is another choice...

Feminine wisdom shows us how to be in the world without being of the world, by taking the powerful act to consciously set the patterns and rhythms of days, weeks, months and years in a way that creates harmony, not havoc.

This was originally the third episode in the "Breaking Through the Myth of Balance" Series, as we illuminate a different way to live - so we can focus on what matters, be the most powerful presences of change, without exhausting ourselves and our resources including:

• Indigenous, feminine and yogic wisdom for tapping in to the natural order of the cosmos and the earth to create a more natural order and flow to your life
• How to structure your days, weeks, months and year differently and with intention to create more space for what matters and more space for you
• Fuel your work and create the space to bring the projects you desire to bring into form using the 4 Feminine Super Power turns of the Year
• What bio-dynamic farming, business theory and ancient wisdom all agree on regarding the rhythm we need to lead our lives with success
• The Feminine Super Power of FLOW + Using the Power of Moonifesting - and how you can use it to get what matters done

Wisdom Inquiries:

1. What would I love to have the space to create? birth? experience? do? this year but I never seem to have the time or space for?

2. What support do I need to create the space for what you want to create?

Wisdom Bytes:

"When we try to do too much and too fast, we exhaust ourselves, our time, our money and we do not have enough of what we need."

"Organizations often try to do too much and too fast so they burn out their employees. We have to ask ourselves why are we driving and striving so hard? What is sustainable growth? And when will we give up the dominate the world culture as normal or acceptable."

"There is something deeper within you that wants the space to create or express. You have the power within to restructure your weeks and days. You cant make more time but you can create the space."

"It is a daring act to choose to live within a different structure than the one you've been conditioned to believe is normal. If you get into the flow of the natural cycles and deepen into the roots of mother nature, and allow the space for grace to come in, the path ahead will become illuminated."

Are you receiving the support, love and care you need? Are you receiving more than you are giving? Do you feel held by the Universe? Do you feel like you can let go and it won't all fall apart? Most of us don't. We are strong achievers and self less care givers, but we suck at receiving. 

At the root of all the burnout, self sacrifice and overwhelm are the ways in which we are blocking what we actually desire or need to receive. 

"Opening to Receive" is a practice I believe we all need in our regular rotation... it's too easy to push away the support we need, not ask for what we need, or try to do too much on our own.

Do you even know what receiving really is?? 

There is lots to say about receiving, but rather than talk about it, as an end to our 3-part series on Overwhelmed and Over It, I wanted to give you an experience to OPEN TO RECEIVE... more of whatever it is you need. A meditation for receiving more support, connection and trust 

An experience that would help you release the blocks you have in place to receiving that you likely don't see.

And an experience that would give you the feeling of some of the specific ways in which we feel when we are fully receiving, such as:

I AM HELD.
I AM VALUED.
I AM SUPPORTED.
I AM MET.
I AM CONNECTED.

I invited a special guest to lead the meditation, my partner Noah Martin, a powerful meditation guide and relationship and partnership advisor and coach. He really gets how to work with the heart and energy fields to open us to receive.

Find a place you can be still. 

Bring whatever blocks you are feeling to receiving what you need and, desire. 

And just experience the meditation. 

With the intention that you open to receive. Even if you don't know what that truly means.

3. Overwhelmed and Over It! A Path to Liberation
4 Month Transformational Experience
www.OverwhelmedandOverIt.com  

*Reposted as previous post only had 1/2 the podcast :) We women have been trained to operate like banks - where we give give give withdrawls all day long, but never take in deposits. Result? We bankrupt ourselves. We've been raised to be strong achievers and self-less care givers, but not strong receivers. 

We push away support when it shows up.

Deflect compliments.  Accept working 60-80 hours a week as normal, and will even skip lunch, going to the bathroom, drinking water just so we can keep pushing through.

We give to our families and friends, even when we can't afford to give the energy, time, effort, money.

We need a new equation that empowers us to GIVE AND RECEIVE. Which I have.

But first, we have to get real about WHY we OVER GIVE. 

The reasons we sacrifice and sabotage ourselves are rooted deep in our hearts - where the feelings and fears we'd rather not feel live. #truth 

The path to liberating yourself and others out of the ways of working and living that lead to burnout and self sacrifice is through your heart. #wisdom

One of the reasons we stay stuck in these unsustainable realities is we are fine talking about the overwhelm but where real change happens - no way! 

So today, of course, I invite you to dive into the heart with me - the 3rd point of liberation on the Path of Liberation out of burnout, overwhelm and self sacrifice. 

join me for this Feminine Power Time: Are You Overgiving and Under Receiving? #3 of 3 in our Overwhelmed and Over It series. I will share: 

• The deeper ROOT reasons we over give and bankrupt ourselves emotionally, spiritually, relationally, physically, even financially

•The signs that you are OVER GIVING

•Different ways you over give that you might not know

•The 8 Fears underneath why you over give and sacrifice yourself 

•A practice you can use to get in touch with the deeper fears and feelings at the root of the overwhelm. 

•Three ELEVATE inquiries you can use in the moment to get your giving and receiving in harmony 

•A proactive practice that will support you to keep your giving and receiving at work, in relationship, etc in harmony.

I'll also read from of the chapters from my new book Overwhelmed and Over It which comes out Sept 2020. I didn't want to have you wait. 

AND... Here are three ways to get support, go deeper, and liberate yourself out of overwhelm and burnout and into the life and work design that supports and sustains you.

FLOW POWER PAUSE -
The Mid Year Reflection, Realignment, Refocusing 

1. Do it from home - www.FlowPowerPause.com

2. Join me in Seattle - July 9th 

3. Come to the Feminine Wisdom Weekend at Kripalu on the East Coast - www.FeminineWisdomWeekend.com 

AND IF YOU ARE READY TO TRULY LIBERATE YOURSELF FROM THE UNSUSTAINABLE REALITY of YOUR LIFE AND WORK...
I am looking for up to 11 women to join me for the Overwhelmed and Over It! 4-month Transformation this Summer and Fall. We start the end of June. 

Get the invitation here. www.OverwhelmedandOverIt.com

There are real reasons why no matter how many self care, stress management, or life hack strategies you try or how hard you try to do things like get sleep, eat well so you can thrive, that you cannot get out of the burnout, self sacrifice or overwhelm.

It's not your fault that you feel so stretched.

There are REAL systemic reasons that keep you trapped in unsustainable realities.  

And...

You are the only one with the power to change it. 

The good news is, you are not alone - we are ALL feeling this way.

And today I am inviting you to join me to take a step towards your personal liberation out of overwhelm and burnout.

Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time with me Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor, teacher and author for "Overwhelmed and Over It!: Why It's Not Your Fault - The 5 Truths that Can Liberate You from Burnout & Self Sacrifice"

These truths took me a decade to unearth. 

I think you will find them empowering and illuminating.

Together, armed with the 'truth' we have the first step in setting ourselves and generations to come free - systemic and self awareness. 

Then in the next episode, we will talk about how to create a personal and social path for liberation and transformation. 

Tune in.

So many women I'm talking with are feeling stretched - being called to make changes, expansions, trust. In times like this week need more "mother love" - it's so powerful, does not just come from your birth mother. And since most of us aren't taught what that is or how to source it, I am replaying this Feminine Power Time. If you've never heard it, tune in. If you have, re-listen this is medicine and a message that will bring clarity, confidence and courage to you at this time.... 

"THERE IS A GREAT MOTHER LOVE AVAILABLE THAT CAN ACT AS THE SAFE AND SOFT HARBOR YOU NEED TO STAND STRONG + FEEL SUPPORTED. IT WILL HOLD YOU, SOOTHE YOU, AND GIVE YOU UNSTOPPABLE COURAGE."

When you read the words ‘mother love’ you likely go right to thinking about the mother who gave birth to you or the mother who raised you. And while that mother definitely has a role to play in our lives, she cannot be our only source of “mother love.”

Mother love is... a specific kind of love that every human being needs – we don’t outgrow the need for it, although we sadly forget how much we do need it.

Mother love is… the deep, all-embracing, all-accepting, nourishing, nurturing, warm, safe, supportive love that soothes the places inside our hearts that feel scared and lonely.

Mother love is… the strong love that we can fall into when we are stressed, stretched, uncertain, and feeling like we just can’t handle what’s happening in our life.

Sourcing Mother Love is not something most of us were taught how to do. In this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo: Mother Love: The Feminine Love That Will Hold You Through Transition:

• Reveal why one mother cannot be our only source of love – and how embracing this can wipe out all kinds of baggage and free you to receive the support, nurturing, courage, acceptance, patience, understanding and compassion
• Define Mother Love – this is SO much more than the story or situation between you and your birth mother. Even if you had the greatest mother growing up, your need for more Mother Love doesn’t end.
• See how the lack of Mother Love is often at the root of things like loneliness, feeling like you don’t belong, fear, not feeling like you have enough, are enough, not being cared for, not feeling supported  – these patterns will keep showing up if you don’t get to the root
• Explore the powerful 3 Sources of Mother Love that are here for all of us - there is SO much of this support here for us beyond what we have been taught exists.
• Learn simple practices you can do to invite this powerful, potent, feminine love into your heart and life –  including the Great Mother Bath

I QUIT! What do you do when you feel defeated, in despair at the state of the world or your world or just DONE, like you just don’t want to and can’t ‘do’ it anymore? Every woman I know feels this way - and most feel like it’s not okay to admit it. Or they don’t know what to do with these feelings. I get it. I lived this. I can visit this. And so many of the women I work with feel this way.

And it’s not our fault, but we are the only ones with the power to change it. We just haven’t been taught how to change it in a way that supports us vs. continues the strain and drain,

Which is why I could just feel in the field it was time to do a series on Liberating Us out of Overwhelm - not spiritually bypassing it or pretending self care tips will do the job. But for real liberation.

My next book, Overwhelmed and Over It! is about this very thing - it comes out Fall 2020 - And we need to address these things now! So we will in this Feminine Power Time, with me Christine Arylo: “I QUIT! Defeated. In Despair. Done” #1 of 3 in our Overwhelmed and Over It! Series.

Tune in for the conversation where we will dive into:

• WHY DO SO MANY OF US FEEL THIS WAY? Why it's normal to feel defeated, despair and done.
  
• THE PRACTICE OF QUITTING. You are going to LOVE this.
  
• USING THE FEELINGS TO GET CLEAR ON WHATS REALLY GOING IN FOR YOU WITHOUT DROWNING IN THEM. 
  
  
• DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERSONAL DESPAIR & COLLECTIVE DESPAIR. And how to work with both.
  
• PREPARATION PRACTICES YOU MUST HAVE SO WHEN THE DEFEAT OR DESPAIR HITS YOU DON'T DROWN. Instead of being surprised, expect these ebbs and have the tools and support to navigate them.

What change is calling you? What threshold are you stepping over? What transition does your heart desire and your soul know it is time for, now?

And how do you walk into, through this transition in your full power and presence, supported and led not forcing and pushing? Or holding back or reverting to who and how you have been in the past?

I've been feeling called to have this conversation with you - about passing through what are called "Thresholds" - a term I learned from John O'Donohue, a beautiful teacher, poet, celtic mystic, writer and human advisor. I'll read his writing on THRESHOLDS at the start of our session to elevate how you think about change and transition in a way that makes it so much more empowering, potent and graceful. 

Fierce grace is the HOW we walk through change when we are fully embodied in our feminine power and wisdom. It's how we live our lives. 

And today, in this Feminine Power Time with me Christine Arylo, "Making Changes with Fierce Grace: Feminine Wisdom for Changing Times & Personal Transition " I invite you to:

• Claim the Change Calling You. Bring whatever transition or change you are going through in your life or that you desire -career, relationships, health, location, expression?
• Open up to a more empowering way to embrace and engage with the change 
•  Learn what graceful change looks and feels like, vs change that destroys or creates suffering - and how to 'do it'
• Consider how the mythos and energy of the PHOENIX can support you to release what is no longer needed and the RISE to your next expression and elevation 
• Take a stand for yourself - a FIERCE stand -for what matters to you at this time ... why this change MUST happen. 

 And of course, we will do this all from your power center - the HEART.

ABOUT THESE FEMININE WISDOM FOR CHANGING & INTENSE TIMES EPISODES 

I create these special Feminine Power Time episodes "Feminine Wisdom for Changing & Intense Times" to speak whatever wisdom I am being guided to share at this specific time based on what I am noticing and hearing from the people I work with - and seeing in myself. 

And based on the natural cycles and energy that is avaiable for us to work with as we lead, live and succeed in our lives a different way, having a impact and making a difference a sustainable way... as citizens of a universe not consumers driven by a machine... as self empowered sacred rebels here to show a different way, not follow the conventional status quo.

I'll drop these in for you 8 times a year, at the natural "flow" turning points - the four major turns, the equinoxes, solstices and then the 4 minor turns. These are the shifts of seasons no matter where you live, by which the earth and the cosmos operates. If you get in sync with them, you gain super power and your life, work and relationships get into sync too. 

For more on these cycles, join me at www.FeminineWisdomWay.com  

WISDOM INQUIRIES TO CHEW ON: 

1. NAME & CLAIM THE CHANGE / THRESHOLD - What threshold / transition are you standing at or walking through? What change is calling you, and what is the call? 

2. INVITE IN GRACE - What needs to be released so you can rise? What needs to be preserved so you can be sustained through this threshold? 

3. TAKE A FIERCE STAND - What does this transition matter to you? If you were being an advocate for yourself, what would you say NO to and what would you say YES TO?

What is your purpose in life? Ugh! This question makes me crazy. It's SO not helpful or empowering. Which is why this week we are going to blow the purpose models and consciousness we are taught in the current leadership and cultural paradigm out of the box!

Using our feminine power and deep wisdom, we know that purpose is something within us -not out there. But how do you reveal it?

How do you know if you are living on purpose or what you are giving your life force is in alignment with your purpose? 

How does knowing your purpose and understanding how it's so intricately related to who you are as a soul, and human keep you out of burnout, overwhelm and a life half lived, or wasted on things that don't really matter?

When you are on purpose, everything in your life aligns, and you feel in the flow, supported even if it's challenging (which is often is).

But then again you didn't come here to lead a boring life, did you???  

Today I, Christine Arylo, invite you to join me and a dear friend and woman I've had the honor to mentor and watch bloom into the embodiment of her purpose over the last decade, Jen Todd.

In this Feminine Power Time, #3 of 3 in our Re-Imagining our Feminine Power, Women on Purpose: we'll dive into:

• Re-defining what purpose is so it empowers you vs. short circuits you or makes you feel like your not doing enough 
   
•  Signs that you are in alignment with your purpose
•  Signs you are out of alignment with your purpose
• How you reveal what your purpose in a way that empowers and excites you 
• How to get out of the boxes your job or people put you in 
• Where purpose is sourced from within your body, spirit and mind 
• Tapping into your unleashed passion to liberate yourself to live on purpose! 

WISDOM BYTE: 

Have the courage to follow the whisper of your soul.

INQUIRY:

What is your soul whispering to you about your calling and purpose?  

ACTION:

What does embodied power look, sound and feel like in a woman who is expressing as her whole and true self?  What does it look, feel and sound like in you? In your presence? In your voice, spoken or written? In how you are received and perceived by others? 

How do you access your truth, your voice and use it to amplify your visibility, influence, and presence in the world… in a way that is true to your expression, your authentic self?

The models for what power looks like in a person, what it sounds like, what people respond to, are distorted.

So we as women and the women before us have to distort and contort ourselves to get a seat at the table, be taken seriously, have our voices heard, or take on the qualities of men or intellectual machines without heart.

That time is over.

No more contorting, distorting our presence to fit in.

And also no more having to scream to be heard, be serious to be taken seriously, and suppressing our femininity in how we dress, speak and show up.

Today I invite you to explore within yourself the ways in which if you knew how to more powerfully wield your voice and presence, you would create more of the reality you desire for yourself, the world and what matters to you.

Whether that is in your relationships, your career, your message, your business, HOW you show up and the presence you are in it, matters big time.

But how we’ve been taught to use that voice, to show up to get what we need and be heard isn’t working for us as women.

So today, in this episode of Feminine Power Time, PRESENCE: Women with a Voice, #2 of 3 in our Re-Imagining Feminine Power series, I invite you to join me, Christine Arylo, women’s leadership advisor and catalyst, and special guest Alexia Vernon, author of Step into Your Moxie, for a session that will touch your heart, open your voice, and inspire you to expand in your expression in this world this year.

We dive into:

• The history of what women have had to do to be heard or be taken seriously – thank you so much! And it’s our turn to do it differently.
  
• Why women are not taken seriously or heard – and men are often listened to over women
  
• Revealing what you do when you feel confident or insecure when speaking – are you a bunny, a bull, a cheetah or a owl? And how you may be sabotaging yourself?
  
• Reclaim what leadership is – and why we must do this as women to have the influence we desire in the world.
  
• How to have your full range of emotion and also be a powerful catalyst for change and elevation not more separation
  
• Difference between trying to BE something, and being who you are – and how to tell the difference
  
• Is what you look like on the outside reflecting who you are on the inside?
  
  
• What happens when you move from your focus from trying to inform and get other people to understand and to shifting to focusing on connection?
  
  
• Where your feminine power and voice lives in your body – and why spanx, bellies and flat abs are short circuiting our power
• How do you find and express your natural communication super power?

Here are some of the wisdom bytes from the show followed by how to connect with Alexia, including her book Step into Your Moxie – and also upcoming retreats with Christine Arylo.

WISDOM BYTES:

• Leadership is not bestowed vs. leadership is embodied and chosen.  
  
  
• Embrace your leadership power, do not try to “own” your power.
  
  
• Confidence comes from stopping to grip your body and let your body do what it knows how to do to connect with others and move the energy. It intuitively knows when to stay still, we know when to move.
   
• Your power comes from your presence, not your position.
   
• If you know what your core essences are, then you can be who you are truly are.
   
• If you don’t know who you are in your core, you will contort yourself to fit in.
   
• As women who want to have more impact in the world. we have to harness our storytelling power.
  
  
• We are being called to speak more clearly, authentically to be a vessel for the divine to come through.
   
• Speak from compassion without censoring what you have to say. 

 ***

WISDOM INQUIRY FOR YOU:
What are you going to embody more of this year to more powerfully express your presence and voice?

What is wanting to come through you more this year? Make this year part of exploring this next season or elevation of your expression.

What do you need to embody that is already in you?

What from your past, needs to integrate into who you are now? Have an exploration. Play with how you dress, speak, write.

Note: This Feminine Power Time is part of the 3 part series on Re-Imagining Feminine Power. Tune into #1 of the series - WEALTH: Women with Real Wealth with Christine Arylo and Julie Murphy.

Let's get real about wealth is... how we are working and living in realities that keep us from cultivating it... and then use our deep feminine wisdom and power to REDEFINE wealth for our world and REVEAL our own path out of the realities that trap us or weigh us down... so you can be free to do the work you are here to do and love doing and create the WHOLE LIFE you desire. 

You have heard the saying money is power and money is the root of all evil. If you look around you can see a culture obsessed with making money and having more. And if you are like most people in the world, money has been a source of both success and also suffering and stress. And often usually the latter. 

The systems we live in are set up to keep us trapped in these unsustainable realties and repeating patterns. Even for people with lots of $ in their bank accounts, the heart and soul is often bankrupt. Or no matter how hard they work, how much money they make, there’s never enough.

How we have been taught to think about money, wealth and financial flow is messed up, and it’s what keeps us tied into ways of working, living and relating that keep us weighed down, trapped, and striving. Most people just have no idea of what is driving them at a root level, in their heart.

Nor have they been given the wisdom - the feminine wisdom - about how to work with wealth in a way that creates REAL wealth, the kind that makes you feel on the inside content, secure and seen no matter how much $ is in the bank. The kind of REAL wealth that actually leads to creating the meaningful career, life, relationships, you desire.

Which is why I invited a dear friend, and my personal wealth advisor, Julie Murphy, author of Awaken Your Wealth to kick off our 3 part series at Feminine Power Time on Re-Imagining Feminine Power starting with Women With Wealth.

Reimagining Feminine Power - because we are the ONEs through how we live and lead that will dream, define and create new realities, for how we work, set up our lives, value our time,

I decided to start with Women with Wealth because when our physical foundation is strong - which includes our wealth, financial flow and reserves, we are so much more able to actualize ourselves in our work and able to show up open hearted and generous in our relationships. Wealth and money is also where a lot of the shame, sabotaging patterns, and distortions of power live in our bodies, hearts and minds.

So join me and Julie for an expansive and real conversation about how the empowered way women embody wealth. We will dive into REIMAGINING -

• REAL WEALTH - and how the current definition of wealth keeps us striving and feeling never enough
• YOUR MONEY FOCUS - Shifting your focus from making money and accumulating money to creating and cultivating Real Wealth
•  MONEY & WORK & EFFORT -The reasons we get trapped with golden handcuffs, re-creating debt, feeling like if we just work harder or get to the next XX we will have enough
• DEBT - What Debt is, where it comes from inside of you, and the path to freeing yourself from the deeper patterns that create it
• THE  ARCHETYPES THAT MAKES YOUR FINANCIAL DECISIONS - The 5 types of financial archetypes that drive your economic choices - that keep you stuck in sabotaging patterns vs. real wealth.
• FINANCIAL FREEDOM & INDEPENDENCE - What is financial freedom really? And how to cultivate it so it gives you what you truly desire.
• THE ROLE MONEY PLAYS IN DESIGNING THE REALITY WE DESIRE - Shift the role of money and wealth into one of self empowerment vs. self judgment or subconscious patterns so you can more powerfully create the reality you desire for yourself, your work, those you love and lead.

It’s going to be a juicy conversation.

I poured my coffee into my A CUP OF LOVE tea - because i know MONEY is a catalyst that can bring up all kinds of energy like fear, shame, blame, self criticism, self judgment - all which take you out of your power, presence and purpose.

SO we use the super power of feminine wisdom and self love to open up your heart to forgive yourself for past choices, and empower yourself to work with your heart to get your life in to more alignment with your heart and soul now, knowing that when you do MORE WEALTH comes to you.
