The third part of any power pause is always about gaining clarity about what REALLY matters to you, so you and Realign and Refocus. When I say what matters, what I mean is what matters in your heart, spirit and body (the mind is not helpful in this realm, because it's job is to sort, it does not sense into what is real, aligned or life-energizing for you.)

What became so evident to me in my research around the roots of burnout, overwhelm, workstyle bias, & self-sacrifice and the real path to creating sustainable success & whole lives that foster true wellbeing is this:

Most people make the mistake of focusing on finding more time - "If I just had more time. I need to find time. When I have more time..."  This will only keep you in scarcity, lack and slaving away to the now.

The Wise ones know that the super power is in Creating SPACE within our NOW to co-create the next. 

Which is exactly what I am going to guide you through in Part 2 of the Equinox Power Pause - although you can do this anytime and work with the next 3-4 month cycle ahead. 

I will lead us through a 3-inquiry (plus bonus one) process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL into your heart what matters and

• Stay present to what is happening in your NOW so you can savor what you are harvesting, and truly find joy and feel fulfilled in the process 
• Name what is wanting and needing to shift, so you can make space for the next, in your now
• Name WHAT you desire space for - give specific heart felt  language to it and then CLAIM that space with fierce self-advocacy
• Put the structure and support in place + name the next few steps to make this space a reality that you get to PLAY in!

See you there!

Write these out and contemplate them or conversate with a freind. Considering the cycle you chose - 3 or 4 months

1. Stay Present - What do you desire to stay present to in this next cycle (3 or 4 months), to receive the harvest now while creating the next?
2. Shfit - What is calling for a shift this next cycle, starting now? Look in these areas: What is calling for attention? What pattern or habit needs to shift? What way of working is no longer in alignment / is not working? Where are there imbalances in your giving and receiving? 
3. What really matters to you to create SPACE for in this next cycle? NAME it to Claim it. 
4. Claim the space by getting clear on:: What structure is needed / would hold me and create an incubator for me? What support would help me stay true to this desire & keep focus on it & make it fun? What are the next steps?

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

Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat. 

Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter.

The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I added the themes of HONOR +  RECEIVE + CREATE THE NEXT WHILE LIVING THE NOW - because I feel like these are the energies and equations that will most support us in this cycle.

Tune into this Power Pause and learn some about:

• Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year 
• Making the invisible and the internal visible  - so we can feel it and value it 
• Honoring the process vs the product 

I will lead us through a 3 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL and register in your body, brain and being: 

• How the energy and effort and focus you have given is returning harvest to you (but you have to pause to receive the harvest) 
• That you have been stretched & chosen to stretch - so you can harvest the strength & keep the wisdom gained. 
• You are supported & sustained in so many ways - but you have to soak it in to believe it. 

See you there!

HONORING Wisdom Inquires from Power Pause 

Write these out and contemplate them or conversate with a freind. HONOR WHAT...  

1. You are receiving harvest from now because of the choices you made or attention and focus you gave during this year? (or the past year?)
2. Has started taking root?
3. Has stretched you? And then strengthened you?
4. Has sustained and supported you?

What do you 'do' when you find yourself in a time when the pressure is alot, the pace is intense, there's a lot happening - whether it's stuff you are excited about or stuff that's dragging you down? How do you move through it without becoming overwhelmed by it? 

Pressure and stress are part of life - but there is a difference between toxic pressure and stress that makes you sick and creates distress, and healthy pressure that stretches and supports you to grow. 

The notion that you should be able to stay strong and push through when the pressure increases is actually a program for self sacrifice, burnout, and isolation - one I invite you to release. And instead embrace this as the new design: YOU receive the support, space, and true strength you need, desire and require during times when the pressure is high.

There's a different way to 'do' pressure, and a much healthier way to relate to the pressures coming at you - in ways that are more empowering, human and balanced. There is a lot of pressure that comes at you that is NOT yours to take on, and that you have more choice than you know to say No Thank You Pressure Making Monsters! 

Consider this: If you want to do more than manage through pressure and intense times, you have to be able to SEE THE SOURCE of the pressure in order to gain the wisdom of how to work with it, in ways that empower you to receive the benefits without crossing the boundary into toxic distress.

Tune into Feminine Power Time: #220: Feeling Pressure? What to "Do" When You are In It 

Together we will explore these three inquiries, to shine a light on where you have the power to release pressure, create space, and dance through or surrender into the change, challenge or situations you find moving through:     

1. Where is the pressure coming from? The 4 sources of pressure - self, other, system, society. We'll sense into each one and shed light on where the pressure is coming from. 
   
2. What do you want to do with it? The 4 choices for working with the pressure vs. the pressure working you over. Shift out of it. Surrender to it. Dance through it. Create space within it. 
   
   
3. What structure you need to put in place daily, weekly and monthly so you relax, release, rest and restore during times you are under pressure?  These 4 practices that will get you through this without burning out. Breathers. Movers. End Dates. Receivers. 

See you there! Bring your Overwhelmed and Over It book if you have it to refer to.

Self Empowerment.... Be Empowered... Own your Power ... Stand in your power ... these are words that we see and hear alot more these days, but what does embodying our power really mean? What is self-empowerment? What does sovereignty have to do with all of this?

How do you know if you are coming from your pure power rooted in wholeness or distorted power rooted in woundedness?

How do you reveal where you are giving your power away - leaking power - in subtle but signifcant ways?

I've been exploring, researching and teaching self-empowerment as one of the 10 branches of self-love for over a decade.  I started studying power and realized pretty quickly how distorted our cultural concepts and expressions of power are. And I dove deep into where we as humans, give away our power in unconscious ways. Or express power in distorted ways that actually diminish our influence.

Most of us are blind to where we lack self empowerment or we give away our power, or over-rely on distorted power in ways that don't serve us. All of which has a big impact on our careers, relationships, wellbeing, financial reality - we just don't see the connection with the 8th branch of self-love, self-empowerment.

Which is why I over the years I have created new defintions of power and sovereignty, practices to strengthen both, and ways to reveal where our leaks and strengths lie.

And why I decided to re-run this episode - as a self-empowerment check up! Originally part of the Self Love Series Episodes #178-181.

Here is an appetizer for starters - the definition of self-empowerment I crafted as part of the self-love tree:

Self-empowerment is choosing to take care of and responsiblity for your life by acting to create the life you really desire, without apology or requiring approval from others. 

In this episode of Feminine Power, Self Empowement: How Are You Leaking Your Power or Discounting Your Value? :

• Define Self Empowerment and Sovereignty
• 5 Signs of a strong self-empowerent and 5 signs of weak self empowerment 
• Difference between 'power' that is reckless , suppressed or distorted in you, and power rooted in wholeness 
• 5 Power Leaks - which are affecting you
• How this all shows up in our careers, life choices, and relationships to others, ourselves and the organizations we work in/with
• How to speak from and stand in your pure power in everything from relationships to salary negotiations without being an ass or a pushover.

I'll guide you through some self-reflection inquiries as well. If you have the Madly in Love With ME book or Overwhelmed and Over It, grab them as I'll be referencing them in our conversation and exploration. 

And come over the Feminine Wisdom Cafe where I've posted the full definition of Sovereignty and we're inviting everyone to share what Sovereignty means to them. 

See you there!

What does Sovereignty Mean to You? 

***

Here's the Self Love Tree one more time.

Have you ever considered that while we can do and be anything, you can't do it all at the same time. And honestly, if it's not in your design, even if you make it to your goal, it will feel empty and your lifeforce & energy will be emptied.

The dance between your soul path and career path is where the magic, meaning and sustainability live. Do you know what your soul path has to do with charting your career path and allowing it to unfold for you? 

This is a pretty big topic, which could be it's own series. But I sat with what would most serve us to dive into support you in the NOW while you create the next ... in your career path, your life design and the way you focus your leadership for the most meaningful impact. 

 Imagine a world in which we grew up understanding our soul path... and had tools for staying on it, staying true to ourselves, knowing ourselves, defining success for ourselves, trusting ourselves, and making choices that were in alignment for our unique design, even if that meant disappointing another, distrupting the status quo, or daring to step out of our comfort zone, and into uncharted territory. 

That's what we are up to in this Feminine Power Time: #219: How Your Soul Path & Career Path Dance Together. #3 of 3 in the Align to Your Design Series.

Consider this: The invisible - mystical, intuitive within you - is as powerful & essential as the visible - material, intellectual imprinted into you - to making choices that keep you aligned to your unique and true carer path & life design.  

When you sense & feel forward vs. just think forward, you naturally create in tune with your dharma, desires and destiny.

Some of what we will explore:     

1. Soul Path - what is it? how do you know yours? what's soul have to do with our career?
   
   
2. Dharma - what is your natural path and essence? why can't you do and be anything?    
   
   
3. Self-Love & Career Choices - how can too much Self-Esteem, or not enough Self-Acceptance & Self-Awareness guide you or distract you?  
   
   
4. Desires - how do you discern between the ego & distorted willpower, and what's in alignment with your heart & soul?
   
   
5. Evolution Cycles & Soul Curriculum - what is your soul path, curriculum to both receive and give? how do you make sure you don't overstay in situations, cycles or orgs or indiv relationships no longer in alignment with your soul path?  

I as usual make this all personal with a series of illumination inquries, woven throughout that you can take into your life, contemplate, journal and conversate them with another to bring forth the wisdom your soul truth is wanting to show you. 

See you there!

000004F2 000004F4 000075A8 000075AA 0025261A 0025261A 00007D2F 00007D2E 0034D4E6 0034D4E6

Have you ever considered how the work you do and the way you work could be different IF you & all people put your WELLBEING at the center? 

Imagine if our culture embraced that all humans are designed differently, which means what supports our wellbeing - mind, body, heart, spirit - will be different. Therefore, the way we work, and the environments we work within need to be flexible, fluid and responsive to the different kinds of work styles required to empower and enable diverse humans to thrive. 

Imagine a world in which we defined work not just by what we did to receive money, but all the ways in which we give our energy, care, time to a system, including care-giving & creative expression, as well as the jobs & roles we play within organizations and professions.  

Then remember this: You and I have the power to co-create culture. 

Culture is defined as: the total range of activities and ideas of a group of people with shared traditions, which are transmitted and reinforced by members of the group. The root of the word culture means to "cultivate a place" or "to till a place." Like a field.   

Our power starts with choosing to intentionally cultivate the culture of our individual place/reality. Then the family/relational systems we live in. Then the team ecosystem we work in. Then the organizational, community & social ecosystems we swim in. 

Consider this: Rather than wait for the big ecosystem to shift to creating a culture who builds how we work based on what we need as humans to cultivate and maintain a strong foundation of wellbeing... we can embrace our power of "harmonic defiance" and make small shifts that lead to bigger shifts to bring how we work and where we work into alignment with all realms of our wellbeing.    

As Glinda the Good Witch says to Dorothy "You had the power within you all along!" My role is illuiminating where that personal power is. Tune into #2 of 3 in our series: Align to Your Design. Episode #218: Align Your Work with Your Wellbeing,

We'll explore these 3 realms to illuminate the way you are designed to work best, liberate you from what doesn't align, and then begin to take small but significant steps to bring your reality into alignment with your design now:

1. Rhythm    
   
   
2. Roles
   
   
3. Radiance 

We'll also explore and illuminate what must be present for you in the environments you work within in order for you to truly thrive. It's like being an orca in the ocean ... what needs to be true about the environment, other creatures, & your part in where and how you work going forward? 

See you there!

INQUIRIES

1. Rhythm - What is the weekly rhythm that best supports your wellbeing? Whats the starting and ending pace? Where are the breaths? Where is the space to connect with your heart & spirit? 
2. Role - What roles align for you? Which chafe you? Employee. Entrepreneur. Solo Consultant/Contributor/Craftsperson/Caregiver.  Collaborative Consultant/Contributor/Craftsperson/Caregiver.  
3. Radiance - Look for your heart & soul gold - when present in your work and work environment, role and pace really support you and nourish you - keep your Radiance strong. When not present, drain your Radiance.

What is your "design?" What does that even mean? And why does knowing and having language for your innate design and the evolution of your design have everything to do with having a north star for how you make decisions in what you do, and how you do it in every part of your life?

This is not about what color your parachute is, or a what your sun sign is (although fun to know, these surface level dips into ourselves are not the same about understanding the depth and full tapesty and spectrum of your design). 

Consider this: Every body is different. Our dharma, our karma, our gifts, our paths, our lessons, our self expression. Yet, when it comes to career, lifestyle, wellbeing, money, relationships, we are shown images, prescriptions, expectations for success vs. taught how to tune into and stay true to our unique design.

So of course, wouldn't it be wise to know as much as we can about our design? So the paths we choose and the choices we make create the sustainable realities that create the environments that are essential for our unique wellbeing and sense of meaning? 

 Yes :) Which is why we're embarking on this 3-part series: Align to Your Design, where we explore Career, Life, Wellbeing & Leadership Design on a deeper level.

Where your design and your desires meet is the key to the focus for the next phase and cycle of your path. 

The first episode focuses on Career, Vocation and Your Work in the World, and sharing elevated language, metaphors, inquiries and stories to open up your mind and tap more deeply into your design, now.

We will set up the full series with a wisdom teaching on getting off the Do More Be More Rat Race, and back to the operating system of Choosing What's Right for You. 

Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to 

1. Career -  Your Path. 
   
   
2. Vocation - Your Part.
   
   
3. GIfts -  Your Presence 

We'll also explore your Polymathic nature ... a different way to think about Purpose ... why what you feel called to doesn't always come true ... the difference between putting livelihood and money at the center of our careers.  

Join me for episode #217: Your Part + Your GIft + Your Career Path: Align to Your Design

See you there!

INQUIRIES

1. Career - Looking back at my career path, what experience, expertise, wisdom do I have that I can and will always take with me?
2. Career - Looking back, what parts of my career path have felt good, enlivening? Which have drained me? What does that tell me about the environments I need to be in?
3. Vocation - What is at the center of my work in the world? What are my current assigments? 
4. Vocation - What is my part to play in the primary relationships in my life right now?  Personally? Professionally? What's the common theme?
5. Vocation - What parts have I been playing that it may be time to release or redesign? 
6. Gifts - What am I naturally good or that I do naturally and easefully, that I think everyone else is good at too, but really it's one of my gifts? What's the subtle gift behind the expression of it?

Every year around the day known as Independence Day in America, I like to tap into the energy of freedom and liberation to bring forth the wisdom, practices and inspiration for all of us ... so we can use the freedom mojo to break free from what might be holding us back, and liberate us to imagine and design the path and possibility forward. 

This is a co-creative practice - a practice I engage in to co create the now and the next. I come back to this liberation and freedom energy every year at this time because if we are evolving, stretching and expanding we can expect resistance and struggle, but we don't want it to stop us.

One way we exterminate the interference is by expanding so much into the possibility, it just cannot take the light! 

This year I was really feeling we could all use a boost of heart power to clear out the interference and break our consciousness & creativity free, so we can feel the possibility as reality, so much so that it gives us momentum to fuel and focus us forward.  

Consider this: The consciousness that got you here, cannot take you to what you are thirsting for, what's calling you, what you want to feel and experience next. But if you are feeling it within you, it is real. So we expand to elevate. 

Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to 

1. Interference -  The unconcious stuff that keep us stuck in patterns and realities that we no longer desire or no longer serve. Imprints like the solo-solitude or scarcity trap. Internal inteference like constraints and conflict that bind us up vs open us up. When you see the interfernce, you can move beyond it, otherwise you just get "goobered" up and stuck in it (very technical term lol).
   
   
2. Imagine - What you are seeking is also seeking you. When you name it and speak it, from a deep place of self worth and empowerment it's like you are painting that reality through your radiance and passion into the world. I'll teach you a practice that invokes the power of Invitation & Radiant Magnetism.
   
   
3. Design - It's not a magical manifestation trick, it's a co-creative path and practice we engage in actively to bring this into being. From the power of invitation to exploration to experimentation, it takes courage and clarity and conscious creation and creativity. But that is part of the gift ... the question is will we dance with the Universe or try to control it and therefeor kill it?

Join me for episode #216: Invoke Your Power To Expand Your Possibility & Reality - a liberation and invitation boost from the heart. 

See you there!

INQUIRIES

1. l would love to invite more into my life ... 
2. I would love to invite in more .... (then respond for the different realms of your life,  my work in the world, my self expression, my wellbeing (home, health, wealth), my professional relationships, my personal relationships
3. What I would love to be true by this time next year ...

At the start and midpoint of the year I always like to pause and put on my "wisdom goggles" to see what is really going on in the world - behind what we can see what our logical eyes or within the our day to day lives. I do this because it helps me see the bigger patterns that are going on... to see beyond the screens of frenzy and chaos ... and to see how what i call 'the banana world' is affecting me in ways I may not be noticing. 

I also take this pause with my super powered wisdom goggles to trace where the energy is going in the collective culture ... and how and if I want to respond to it. Which informs me so much on how I choose to focus my life force. 

I created this Feminine Power Time #214: Feminine Wisdom for Living in a Banana World, as a sort of mini power pause to stop and take a look around you and what is happening in the world ... not to be overwhelmed by it, but as an observer who is at choice about how you want to interact within it.

I invite you into this practice today as one of the primary practices you can strengthen to stay rooted and stable in the now, while you navigate the new, and make sure you don't get affected or infected by the banana world energy that can drain you and distract you without you even realizing it.

• Come play with me the "What am i Noticing?" game.
• Learn about some of our super cool wisdom tools - such as the wisdom googles, the overview pattern seer and the frequency detector. 
• Hear what I am seeing in and outside of the banana world, and use my insights to support you in any way that resonates
• Contemplate the liberating wisdom teaching : "Be in the world, but not of the world." 

I also will walk you through a process/meditation that cues you into how the banana world might be amping up unhelpful energies for you ... in whatever threshold or challenges and changes you may be in... and then take you through a 4-step practice I call Fear Shifting. 

See you there! 

Christine 

p.s. Remember to SHARE this with a friend to Elevate together -->  share your thresholds/changes and walk each other through the 4-step From Fear to Flow Fearshifting practice.

One of the biggest reasons so many of us can feel so busy, overwhelmed, fragmented, pulled in a million directions ... like no matter how hard we work or how much we do, we just can't reach our goals ... is because we are operating from half-power vs. whole-power.

So we over work, over effort, try to do too much, choose careers  or paths that are not aligned for us.

We operate like speed boats vs sail boats - we are moving so fast, focused on the next, we can't even savor what we've worked so hard or given so much to create or take care of.

Or we are adrift like lost boats out at sea, without the focus and intentional steps to ride the waves and let the wind carry us to our aligned path.

There is a different way ... if we can access some of our full power spectrums. I'm over the moon excited to share with you two power spectrums that give us a path to Do Less. Receive More. Achieve a Greater Impact (while savoring the process!) 

1: Strategic Surrender

2: Focused Fluidity

Tune into #3 of 3 in our What is the Feminine? And why do we need it? Series. #213: The Power of Strategic Surrender & Focused Fluidity.

These two power spectrums brings in the feminine, marry it with the masculine. and creates the HOW we can stay focused on our goals, missions, people we care for ... in a way that we can savor the process... make progress through momentum ... and achieve the kind of success that includes wellbeing of planet and people.

Consider this: Success without wellbeing, or having the space to savor the process, is not success. 

Some of what we will dive into... 

• How to go from making it happen to focusing on what matters now
• Revealing whether you are too strategic and focused or surrendered and fluid
• Learning what RBG and sailboats can teach us about sustainable success, purposeful patience, and working in smart ways that focus our resources + leave room for synchronicity and divine timing 

I will also walk you through applying the power of strategic surrender + focused fluidity to an area of your life now. 

See you there.

Christine 

p.s.  >> REQUEST - SHARE this podcast with a friend and then PLAY with the two power spectrums to see what wisdom emerges when you apply strategize and surrender AND intentional focus and intuitive fluidity to the situation.

Can you re-imagine a world in which our intuition is valued as much as our intellect?

Where young women and girls, and all humans, are taught how to discern between their internal knowing, wisdom and truth?

Make decisions that not only make logical sense, they make heart sense .... the kind that keeps us aligned on our path ... the kind that gives us the courage to speak up, stand up and do things differently?

I think we can co create this reality now - but we need new language, understanding and each other.  

Consider this: There is SO much power in expanding our understanding, trust in and value system of what true intelligence is.

So much power in doing what Joesph Campbell called following your bliss, and what I call follow your heart wisdom AND don't be a dummy pants :) 

So much power in knowing how to tune into the 4 parts of our full spectrum of intelligence - instincts, intuion, insight and intellect. 

Self trust. Creative strategic planning that supports creativity + productivity. Making choices in careers, & relationships that lead to less suffering & anxiety and more aliveness and ways to express our creative genius.. Speaking up. Just to name a few.  

The mind & intellect are not built to tap into creativity and possibility, or even make wise choices. Our minds can only see what we've done before or seen others do. The intellect alone will make all kinds of things that are bad for our world (atomic bombs and AI to name two).  

When we choose to honor, value, access, embody, employ this feminine energy of intuitive intelligence & heart wisdom... we open up the field of possibilty and creativity... we bring more heart power onto the planet... and the Universe starts showing up to show us the way to create realities that reflect the good and beautiful in humanity.

Tune into the second in the series is 212:  The Power of Intuitive Intelligence & Heart Wisdom 

Some of what we will dive into... 

• How to play with your intuition and intellect so they work together for you - so you don't get stuck in being over rationale ... or ungrounded in wishful thinking
• My 4 Eyes model for accessing the full spectrum of intelligence ... which give you access to Wisdom and a higher level of intelligence
• Why the mental mind is not the place to look if you want to do things differently - and where to look instead
• What is heart wisdom, how do you follow it? 

I will also walk you through a short 4 inquiry contemplation to apply heart wisdom and intuitive intelligence.

See you there.

Christine

I named the podcast Feminine Power Time for a reason. Even though the word 'feminine' throws or turns off many people (which is part of the reason I knew I needed to keep the name!) Even those of us that get to a point in which we get we need the feminine, want it and cherish the feminine can have a hard time understanding what it is, practically.  

What do you do with the feminine? 

How can it help me in my career? My relationships? Choices? 

Is it really even relevant to business? and big issues like global warming and the education and safety of our children? 

The short answer. Yes. We are just very ignorant (and imprinted) to not value or understand it. 

One of my supers powers is taking big concepts and esoteric wisdom and breaking them down. Putting language, visuals, practices, models to it, so we can access this really potent wisdom and energy in our lives, and for all that we care about in the world. 

The "feminine" first found me in 2006, after my first super woman sob in which all I was trying to do to have success in my business, mission and life was not working (more on that in the podcast).

Since then, I have studied it, explored it, experimented, and been educated and initiated into some of the most powerful energy I didn't know existed, but that was there within me all along. 

For 17 years, I have seen how the feminine is the medicine needed to end at least two big epidemics - 1. burnout of the planet and people 2. the 'not enoughness' that drives so many peoople and young girls to so much unnecessary anxiety, self judgement, etc. 

I also believe with all my heart that if we embody and apply the feminine, it brings the distortions of our current systems and society into balance and harmony ... and we start seeing HOW to create different realiities, that are rooted in value systems that honor the wellbeing of all people and this planet.

This is not airy hope ... this is practical application of straight up wisdom.

Tune in and join me for our inagural series in our 8th year ... What is the Feminine and Why Do We Need it?     

The first in the series is 211:  The Power of Stillness & Space Holding.

I will set us up for the series + we will dive into more including:

• Going from Ready, Fire, Aim --> Intend, Aim, Release (it's a get out of the jail of overwhelm, busyness freedom card) 
• The Feminine Leadership Archetype of Space Holder  
• The Power Spectrum of Stillness and Swiftness to get into aligned action
• Why you only want to do the Hustle if you are dancing :) 

The feminine does like to be a bit of a mystery - so less words and bullet points. You will just have tune in for more. 

See you there.

Christine 

p.s.  >> REQUEST - Please SHARE this with a friend and then talk about Space Holder and Stiliness and Swiftness. CONVERSATION STARTERS: Where are you under-valuing your Space Holder leadership and expression? what do you choose to value differently as an act of Harmonic Defiance? How can you work with stillness and swiftness in a current situation to find aligned action?

There is a lot of talk & information about wellbeing, presence, mindfulness, getting good sleep, eating well and self-care ... alot of which can be good and helpful, and alot can also be overwhelming and like more to do's in an already full life.

Here at Feminine Power Time we get to the roots of wellbeing by applying wisdom to the choices we make every day ... including the practices, choices and routines that have way more influence over how we feel, how we show up,  and how others perceive and receive us than we know.

As we embark on our 8th year here at Feminine Power Time - I wanted to take a pause to bring practical application to our theme for this year: Rooting and Rising in Radiance, that enables and empowers us to actually live that theme into reality. 

It's the choices we make in our every day that determine how we feel and live throughout our days. 

Contemplate this: Which every day choices are supporting your radiance + your capacity to show up as your best self? Which are draining your radiance or driving you to react to people or situations that does not reflect your best self?  

When I say "practice" it can help to think about practices in two categories: 

1. Proactive and Preventative: Put these into your daily, weekly and monthly rhtyhm to keep your life force and radiance strong, so you are more able and likely to show up as the calm, clear, grounded, radiant, powerful presence that is you.
   
   
2. Pull On In the Moment : Use these in the moments you get triggered, pinched, swirled up, overwhelmed, full of emotion or feelings of anxiety or frustration. They will give you a  path to move through the trigger or wobble, and recenter. So you can respond vs. react to a situation or a person.

Tune into episode #210 - Keep Your Radiance Strong & Light  - 3 Practices to Play With and then try these three practices in your day to day. These are three practices I use in  my day to day too!

1. Relax. Rest. Regenerate. The Daily & Weekly Bookend
2. Eliminate & Release. Release & Embrace. Choose a time span to play with.
3. Emote to Elevate. Ask someone to be a space holder for you or play with this through journaling, movement or self recorded speaking.

I so look forward to sharing this wisdom with you, and hearing what happens as you play with them. 

Christine

It's hard to believe that today I can share with all of you that this month marks the 7th year anniversary of Feminine Power Time, and since I believe in living by the wisdom, perspectives and practices I share and we work with here, I invite you to join me for the kind of pause that would do us all (and the world) so much good...

One: Pausing to Savor what we create. Acknowledge what is already here. Which in our case is a still very relevant Wisdom Library on topics ranging from self-love to sacred work & careers to intuition & making wise choices to feminine super powers & liberating ourselves from burnout to redefining success & embracing our power of harmonic defiance, and so much more. 

I'm curious for you... what milestone are you moving through right now? Something you could pause and savor and acknowledge, even if it's not 'done'?  

Two: Pausing to consider what's needed & what we desire to do with the creations we've given our energy to. Find the wisdom for how we grow through momentum, using the principles of Cyclical Living & Co-Creative Pathing. In our case, how can Feminine Power Time serve you, me and the world in this next year (it's 8th year).  

Tune in with me for this special episode of Feminine Power Time: The 7th Anniversary Milestone: What We've Created & Where We Go From Here. 

You will notice Feminine Power Time has received:

• an elevation & expansion in her external expression to match the internal frequency of the depth, breadth and energy we cultivate here  - ie. check out the new podcast website, logo and banner branding, www.FemininePowerTime.com  
• a Series Library - so you can access the episodes within a particular topic or share a topic with someone in an easy way vs. having to go through all 253+ episdoes 
• the Full Library - access to all episodes + my blogs searchable by date and topics 

Four parts to our conversation & exploration that will provide the focus and format for the next year:

One: I'll share how I am using the wisdom for sustainable success and growing our projects & missions & desires through momentum with Feminine Power Time now and the next - and how you can use this for your own creations & desires:

• • Releasing Procrastination, perfection, plans + embracing the path and co-creative practice
  • Cyclical 10 Count - natural growth cycles of 10 years
  • Creating from momentum to rise into radiance vs stay stuck in status quo or blow  it all up

Two: Theme for our 8th year - Rooted and Rising in our Radiance

Three: Foundation and Focus Going Forward 

1. Centerpoint - Re-Imagining the Way We and the World Work … changing what we mean by “work” and how we work as individuals, collective, systems, society, and embracing our co-create power to Re-imagine, Re-design & Re-create.
   
   
2. 6 Parts, that make up the harmony star that creates this space for us

• Feminine Power
• Time
• Turn off the Chatter Tune into what matters. 
• Wisdom
• Leadership
• Wellbeing

Four: What I heard from the Survey. At 56 minutes; Share short sumamary the results of the recent survey + the structure for the next cycle. 

Thank you to everyone who responded to the survey. And thank you to each one of you who has engaged here me in this intentional space I call Feminine Power TIme.

I created this as “intentional space” for us to step outside of the crazy chaos of the world and the hectic pace of our lives… so we can tune in to what is real, right and true.

There is so much interference and information out there creating pressure, confusion, anxiety, frustration inside our heads & hearts… driving us to make choices, big & small, that are often not aligned or sustainable.

This is why we really do need places that operate at an elevated frequency. Feminine Power Time is such a place. It’s more than a podcast. It’s space created for you, and all those daring to do things differently.

Look forward to this next cycle of our journey together.

Christine

P.S. Share this episode with one person - one who you'd like to create a closer relationship with or someone you think it would support.  Share through the podcast app, share my wisdom letter or send them to www.FemininePowerTime.com  

Together, we rise into our radiance, rooted in our design, our relationships and the world we know is possible.

As we go into this next cycle, and look ahead at what we desire to create for ourselves, those we care for and influence, and the world, two thing I do know for sure is this: 

HOW we do this must be done together. It's the design of how we create a different reality, rooted in wholeness, compassion, interconnection, inclusion & sustainability.

Our relationships are a big part of both our personal and collective healing & elevation. 

The time of the lone wolf, hero, guru, star, indivdual leader is done. The time of putting the world on our backs & doing it all on our own, and sacrificing ourselves for our cause, company or just mere survival needs to be complete. 

As we watch the world around us transform, one thing we want to really open our eyes to is the realm of our Relationships and what I call our "Webs of Connections". So much of our personal and collective transformation and elevation can only happen in relationship ... to other people, and to communities, groups and eco systems of people.  

Our relationships - the ones we have or the ones we lack - are where we work through our wounds, heal our hearts, return to wholeness, and as result become like agents of elevation in our families, partnerships, teams, communities, companies and the larger world.

Our relationships are the how we move out of working in ways that make us sick... how we create a culture in which people are compassionate, collaborative and inclusive... how we create a reality in which people stop making choices from fear and instead open their imagination to see different possibilities where there is enough for all.   

I am curious ...

Do you have the relationships you need now, and to create the next? 

What are the relationships + webs of connection that will support you to grow, express in your full genius, & be sustained now and in the next? 

Are you up for the experimenting with different ways to engage in relationship?  And making changes to how you show up within them? Live the next months and years like a "yoga of relationship" where you can elevate your frequency and experience of relationship in all realms of your life? 

Today we open up the portal of elevation for the now and next .... to empower us to create the relationships and connections we really do need for this next 3 year cycle and beyond. 

In this episode, #208 (#3 of 3 of our extended Power Pause)- we will focus on your Relationships and Your Web of Connection.

I will share with you two frameworks: 

1. The 4 kinds of relationships you want into place - from conscious collaborations to mutually beneficial connections to your heart line to resonant communities. 
    
2. The 4 different kinds of actions you can take in existing or non-existing relationships: Release. Redesign. Reconnect. Reveal & Reach Out.  

I will share wisdom on both as well as take you into these 3 inquiries:

3 Co-Creative Inquiries

1. Who am I keeping company with? What is the frequency of the connection or the field? What is draining/dissonant? What is fine/no sweat? What is energizing, empowering and resonant? 

2. Who are the people I am meant to connect with? 

3. If what and who I am seeking is also seeking me, what could be creating interference? 

Creative Actions: 

• Write these inquiries out. Increase your awareness of current company.
• Make a visual of the people you are meant to connect to and invite the Universe to help you make connections. 
• Choose one relationship from each category to work with these next 3 months or year ... Release. Redesign. Reconnect. Reveal & Reach Out. 

See you for the conversation. Honored to be on the path with you!

With heart,

Christine

p.s.  REQUEST to CREATE CONNECTION: SHARE THIS PODCAST with a friend. Ask each other the inquiries. And reflect to each other what you hear to bring more insight forward.

Consider this: You career is your path. Your vocation is your calling. Which means as long as you stay true to yourself, live your design, and stay open to learning and evolving... you will make choices in the jobs you take or don't, the 'vocations' you say yes to, and the organizations and people you choose to work with that are aligned for you.

If your career is a path, that means that it will have turns, uphills, downhills, weather systems, and unexpected events. It's not a straight line or a ladder - although the over culture conditions us to believe so. 

If you are a person who has dared to follow your truth, heart and deeper knowing, you have likely stepped outside of what is deemed normal, smart or successful. Good for you! That is what we do as co-creators who feel empowered vs. cogs who follow the rules or worse sharks who eat others for lunch to get ahead.

We are at a threshold and big shift in the evolution of humanity - transformation, changes, uncertainty, structures breaking down - of which we are individually a part of.

The wise ones PAUSE to consider where we are NOW and where we want to go NEXT in our careers and the vocations we say yes to. We work with the energy intentionally vs. being worked over by it blindly. 

That's why we are doing this power pause series on Feminine Power Time - Wisdom for Thriving Now & Creating What’s Next.

In this episode, #207 (#2 of 3)- we will focus on your Career (path) and Vocation (calling). I will share wisdom on both as well as take you into these 3 inquiries:

3 Co-Creative Inquiries 

1. Who am I working for? 

2. What am I working for Now? Am I in a Shift, a Stand & Savor, an Unsure & Stay put, a Sustainability Reset, a Service?   

3. What I am moving towards Next? What is the reality I desire to fully experiencing in my career and vocation three years from now?

BONUS Inquiries: 
* What is no longer sustainable or suitable to my design or today’s reality? Do I Release or Redesign? 
* Where is the energy and momentum at? What do I need in the now to follow it?  

Remember ... the over culture will pull you onto the go go more more more escalator or sweep you and your life force up, if you are not centered in your truth and knowing about your path, your vocation and clear on WHO you work for. Even if you say you work for yourself. 

Also... We are not meant to do this alone, be lone wolves, or scouts with little to no supplies. We are meant to work in collaboration, synergy and be supported and sustained as we give our gifts and genius and live well. This is our practice, not a prescribed 7 step process :) So we apply these co-creative practices to guide they way.

See you for the conversation. Honored to be on the path with you! 

With heart,
Christine

ACTION:

SHARE this podcast with a friend and conversate on the inquirires - you'll LOVE the wisdom you receive

New inspiration for Feminine Power Time...what I'm calling an "XO" episode ... XO from my heart to yours .. like a movie "short," it's a podcast shortie to bring forth something that moves my heart to share with you spontaneously.

I have these moments where I am feeling the energy in the world + sensing themes through the conversations I am having with conscious beings that make me feel "Oh, it would really serve us all to hear this wisdom right about now!" But instead of waiting to do a full podcast, I thought we could experiment with this shorter format. See if we like it? 

This first XO short is all about getting to the heart of a pattern, habit, imprint that might be driving you - unconsciously - into overwhelm, self sacrifice, burnout, and ways of working, living, relating. One that is rooted in your self-worth and the imprints around self-worth that have been imprinted on you.

If we can't get to the root of what is causing the burnout within us, we cannot change the systemic roots that keeps us stuck in the in patterns, relationships and situations that do not support our sustainability + thriving. Nor change the systems we work and live in.

Every year around this time, I put myself on a 40-day practice to shine light on root habits and imprints that are driving me in ways that don't serve me + to shift my habits to support my wellbeing & desires going forward. 

I was reflecting on the years I've done 40 day practices, and remembered that I had written about one of my profound 40 day practice breakthroughs in Overwhelmed and Over It. Specifically, the connection between our self worth & feelings of safety, security and enoughness and our inability to break free of burnout & self-sacrifice.

In this XO from my heart to yours, I will take us through some wisdom, experience and a set of inquiries that will help you shine some light on where you may be unconsciously pushing yourself way too hard, or stuck in systemic imprints you just don't know are there.

Consider this (excerpt from book and podcast):

The simple truth is this: We cannot give ourselves the space to pause or replenish, nor can we create a reality in which we can be both successful and sustained, in part because we’ve been imprinted to value ourselves based on how busy we are; how much we’ve achieved; or how hard we have to push, strive, and grind.

Or we’ve been so laden down with the reality of just having to survive, we haven’t had space to even consider the pace we’d prefer, because we are drowning, barely keeping our heads above the water.

This is true, for so many of the reasons we have stated about the way this world is currently structured; what society values; and the increasing pace and demands on us financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally to just keep up.

As we’ve said since the start, “It’s not our fault. And . . . you and I, and all the other women on this planet, are the ones with the power to change it, together.”

The way forward is this: We bravely look underneath all the push and grind to see the lies, fear, lack, feelings of “not enough,” and distorted ways we value ourselves, and heal and free ourselves from them.

We re-root ourselves into the truth of our inherent value and a real, felt sense that we are held and guided by something greater, of which we are a part. To start us moving in this direction, I have a few inquiries for you.

Let's look underneath the roots + re-root ourselves into our inherent value and connection.

See you there, 
Christine

Consider this: What you focus on now, will influence the reality you experience in the years to come. What you choose to give your life force and resources to this year will show up three years from now. The choices you make around your wellbeing now - in your habits, relationships and life & work design - will show up in your health & wealth twenty years from now.

This is a natural law, which means it is naturally how things work .... and this year more than ever that's true (more on that in the podcast).

Which is why I felt compelled to create an extended power pause for us this year ... that will give you wisdom, insight and clarity on this year (the NOW) and also the coming three year cycle (the NEXT). 

This power pause series - Wisdom for Thriving Now & Creating What's Next - will give you 3 inquiries per episode focused on a specific area of focus that felt like was really calling me & us to give some conscious thought, feeling and imagination to. 

Why so much to do about inquiries?

It's not as much about the words we say, but the inquiries we make and dare to seek deeper wisdom for that determine the quality and reality of our lives. 

Inquiry gives us insight into higher intelligence and inner truth. 

We'll focus on these 3 key inquiries in this episode #206, focused on your Wellbeing & Lifeforce ... both for the NOW and for the NEXT:

1. What is needed to sustain the longevity of my wellbeing? 
   In my habits? Relationships? Work & Life design?
   
   
2. What am I giving my lifeforce and resources to?
   What's draining/distracting me? What is in alignment (and NOT) with my values? What is sustaining & enlivening me?What's dimming my light?
   
   
3. Where do I have the power to release some pressure now? 

I also break each of these down to make it practical and accessible for you. And end with a embodied meditation. 

These are the same inquiries I make for myself. I use the wisdom that arises to make choices that lead me to what is right, real and true for me now. May these wisdom inquiries serve you to make clear, courageous and compassionate choices that keep you aligned to your path, purpose and desires.

Remember...

Choose to protect and retain your life force as if it is the most essential resource you possess. 

Because it is.

The systems will take everything you give them -- be an advocate for yourself by giving only what is in harmony, and being conscoius about what is no longer serving you, and what is truly enlivening you!

With heart,

Christine

ACTION: SHARE this podcast with a friend and conversate on the inquirires - you'll LOVE the wisdom you receive. 

If you think about it, so much of the support we receive comes through the hands and hearts of other humans and so much of us not receiving the support we desire and require, also comes through our relationships (or lack of them.)

Which is why in our last in the 3 part series of "Receiving the Support You Desire & Require" we are going to and march right into the place where we have so much power to receive more support ... removing interference + opening to receive support from other humans. 

I like to call this "Receiving Radiant Support" because it's the kind of support that keeps your light bright, supports your longevity of wellness and is the key to succeeding in bringing that what matters most to us in our work, purpose and lives into form. 

Radiant support is also what shine the light ahead as we navigate changes, step into the unknown and manage the wobbles as we create the next and new.

This is not the time for the lone wolf, do it all yourself, or plough through.

It's not weak to need support and help from others. It's human to need a helping hand (or really hands!) 

It's human to need to feel held in a bigger community and tribe.

And it's also human to have all kinds of internal interference to receiving support from others that you don't even know is there. Unconscious, distorted imprints creating more struggle and self-sabotage than you realize.  

So grab your self-awareness flashlights - and let's take a deeper look to find the interference and start to move  it out .... and illuminate the streams of radiant support that you need and require in this next cycle.     

1. What kinds of good humans do you need more of in your life and connection web?
2. What unconscious imprints are interfering with your ability to receive support? 
3. What positive imprints do you have that you can lean into to create more support? 
4. What practices and structures help you to open to receiving assistance and support? 
5.  What sabotages you from asking for help, support or connection? 

I will also share some of the every day practices I use to open up my capacity to receive radiant support including :

• Moving foward through Momentum.
• Leaning into Structure & Consistency.
• Feminine Super Power of Connection.
• Finding Evidence of Divine Support.
• Gratitude Bathing.

See you there,

Christine

When we think of advocacy or being an advocate, we often think of how we show up for and support others, or take stands for the causes that matter to us - which is a beautiful thing. Today, I am inviting you to turn the energy of standing for, honoring and being a voice for others towards yourself. Self-advocacy.

What would it look like this year if you chose to be an advocate for yourself? 

What would it look like to so deeply honor what you desire and require, that you were willing to stay true to yourself, even if that meant disappointing another? 

What would change for you, if instead of just heading straight into all the things you desire and need to tend to, create, cause and respond to, you paused to consider what SUPPORT YOU NEED? 

These are the questions I am inviting you step into in this series - Receive the Support You Desire and Require this Year.  And then, after tuning into your deeper truth and wisdom, start using your voice and your choices to create a reality in which you truly do receive the support you need. 

WISDOM: “In times of stretch or stress, or when you are doing something new, ask for and receive more support, not less." (Overwhelmed and Over It page 175)

In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #204 SELF-ADVOCACY: Honoring What You Need, No Matter What, we'll explore:

• Self-Advocacy and Self Honor - where do these live within you, and how do you access and apply their power to your daily life
  
  
• Personal Sustability before Purpose & Responsibility - What foundations must be in place to support us to give to those we love, lead and influence  
  
  
• Investing in Support - where do you under-invest time, energy and financial resources in the support you need? And were do you invest easily? 

I will take you through a guided process tuning into 4 areas of physical foundational support.  This will tune into your deeper wisdom and needs about: 

• What are the support structures you both desire + require in your physical and material foundation this next cycle - Home, Health, & Financial Flow? 
  
  
• What does stability and vitality in home, health, and wealth FEEL like for you?
  
  
• What rhythm and pace structures will hold and support you daily, weekly. monthly and yearly this next cycle?   

Tune in to explore and experiment with Self-Advocacy this year. 

See you there

Christine

“We have become so self-sufficient as women that we often don’t consider the support we need, and even when it does show up, we struggle to fully receive it.”

These are the words that start Chapter 8 in my book Overwhelmed and Over It which is the chapter that gets to the root about why we push away support or don't receive the support we need, and then up burned out, and stretched too thin.

In this 3-part series, Receive the Support You Desire & Require this Year, we take a stand together to get real and practical about how we ensure you DO get the support you need, require and desire, and/or make different choices based on the resources you have.  

I was going to do this as one episode, but when I felt into what would really serve us, a deeper dive into you FEELING and BEING supported on all levels came through loud and clear. 

In Part 1 we will explore and dive into some of the key wisdom teachings that create the foundation for support to actually show up in and grow in your life, including:

• It is not weak to need support. Needing support is human.
• It is a sign of strength to name the support you both desire and require. 
• To receive support you have to both NAME it and CLAIM it.
• Frequency preceds form - meaning you have to feel supported before you are supported.
• We have more support than we think. Expressing gratitude for the support you have, creates more a field for more support to come in

Throughout the series, we will create space for you to tune into 5 different realms you have the power to be and feel more supported, from the inside out. These just all happen to begin with the letter P. 

They all reflect the FOUNDATIONS of SUPPORT we all need at this time. 

In this episode of Feminine Power Time we will explore PRACTICE + PLAY, including the structures and support that will:

• Keep you tuned into your higher consicousness, even when you are having a very human experience 
• Keep physically, emotionally and mentally harmonized - calm, clear, centered, rooted in wellbeing and resiliency 
• Keep your spirit lifted 
• Keep you feeling connected 
• Keep your imagination and creative channels flowing and your frequency and clarity high as a result. 

Tune in. Share with a Friend. Then Support each other to receive the support you desire and require. 

Big heart, 
Christine

Every year in January I wait to do this special Feminine Power Time session until the timing feels just right. This year, it was just one week after the start of the Lunar New Year, at the phase of the moon aligned with the energy of Focusing, Creating, Intending, and Empowering Ourselves - so in alignment for this coming year cycle + the bigger 3 and 20 year cycles ahead.

2023 is a 7 year - connected to the Chariot - and a water Rabbit year - again a year that it would be wise to lead by the feminine aspects and power, with masculine structure supporting. These archetypes + what the natural cycles are indicating + the commonalities I am feeling and seeing for myself and the conscious people I know and work have formed the focus and themes for this year's session.

I’ve been thinking of you all for the past few weeks and what would emerge to be shared on the yearly “Feminine Wisdom for The Year Ahead” episode. Which is why I've waited three weeks between episodes. I always wait for the wisdom and focus to emerge ... which it did today, after I returned home from a two week co-creative trip to California. 

After weeks of being in my own reflection and visioning process, watching what’s happening in the world, deepening in my own practice and listening for guidance from Wisdom with a capital W, once again, a series of ‘wisdom bytes’ - themes - flowed out.

It all popped out like a stew that had been cooking for weeks. That's letting the feminine lead, purposeful patience and stillness (listening) before moving into movement and action (which is a theme for this year especially, more on that).

Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead - 2023.  If you are listening to this later, no worries, it is still all relevant. It's about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up.

Feminine wisdom teaches us to prepare for the intensity, uncertainty, transformation and change.

Not to brace yourself for it, but to embrace it, pace yourself through it and cultivate the vitality, resilience and wisdom you’ll need to stay elevated above the fray and the chaos.

Tune in with me. And if you have some paper ... bring it to write out some of the themes I share (also posted below).

See you there!

THEMES for 2023

1. Feminine Leads- purposeful patience and movment ... hopping one hop at a time, not speeding or trying to skip steps to go forward. 

2. FLOW = Intentional Focus + Intuitive Fluidity ... as we step into these next time cycles, what is at the center of the design of what you want to give to the world through your gifts/career/presence/part? What is at the center of you need to receive to be nourished, centered and sustained? What foundations are already in place that you can lean and relax into? What's calling for your heart and soul to focus and give your energy and time to, that feels good, aligned and meant for you? 

3. Frequency ... What do you need to keep your frequency high this year? What brings it down or creates interference? What practices and communities do you have in place to keep your frequency high?

4. Forms ... how we do the next now will be different. Some forms to keep in mind mentioned in the podcast. 

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head.

Don't let the chaos and pressure of the world or the should's of your self-induced  pressure and thoughts swirl you up. Instead turn inward, tune into your heart and dare to tap into your deeper wisdom and desires and let those inspire and guide you.

Wisdom teaches us to use the power and practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action.

Not so we can have it all figured out like an agenda or project plan. But so we can be clear on our intentions, be connected to what's really in right timing, and to see what we can't see with our eyes but can sense with our deeper intuitive knowing ... if we slow down to listen. 

Wisdom also teaches us ... the wisdom is within you for your most soul-aligned path ahead, the path that sustains you on all levels - mind, body, heart and spirit. And the portal into that wisdom is not in your mental mind, it's in your heart and body.  

Every year I do an episode that takes us through a series of wisdom inquires I think would serve us to contemplate, at this time. 

How we start the year creates the reality ahead.

Use the practice of these 'wisdom inquiries' so you can stay focused on what truly matters, create the realities for ourselves and the world that align with our deeper truth and desires, and realize sustainable success. 

This year we have a set of 4 inquiries Four is the number of structure. So you can think of this as you setting structure / focus so that the year ahead actually aligns with what matters most.

Every year the inquires are different.

Because every year, we need differently inquiries to lead us to the possibilities we haven't even considered with our limited - often fear reactive - minds. 

I comb through the many inquiries we use in the EMERGE Visioning Process to find 4 to "prime the pump" and open your visioning, intention setting and focusing for the year to come. 

Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, transformational leadership advisor and teacher, for episode 202: Power Pause: Tune into What Matters Most to You This Year - A Series of 4 Inquiries
