In 2013 she published an article entitled “Why it’s Crucial for Women to Heal the Mother Wound” based on a body of work she had been developing for 15 years. And overnight, the article went viral.

We will learn: How to overcome feeling like your body is failing you Dealing with resentment in infertility How to release expectations when  you  want something so badly Deciding to start a family is a big decision.  It’s a decision that will completely change your life. But for many people, getting pregnant isn’t as easy as they’ve been led to believe in the movies. The truth is, about 1 in 8 couples have trouble getting pregnant. Also, the natural fertility rate is only about 20% per month for a healthy, fertile 30-year-old woman. That means that for every 100 fertile 30-year-old women trying to get pregnant in one cycle, 20 will be successful and the other 80 will have to try again. And even for those without fertility issues, it takes about 6 months to a year on average of trying to conceive to actually get pregnant. If you’re in the 12% that are still having trouble, then thankfully there are options. Nearly 90% of infertility cases are treatable with medical therapies.  So today I’m bringing on someo

We will learn: Practical tips for dealing with massive change How to decipher when you’re saying no to respect your boundaries vs fear of leaving your comfort zone Why co-creating with the is cosmos so impactful   How do you feel about change? Do you handle it well? Do you usually avoid it? Are you optimistic when happens outside of your will?   The funny thing is, we actually like change, but only when we’re the one’s choosing it.   People not only fear change, they genuinely believe (usually on an unconscious level) that when you’ve been doing something a certain way for a long time, it must be a good way to do things. And the longer you’ve been doing it that way, the better it is.   So change isn’t just about embracing the unknown — it’s about giving up something old (and therefore good) for something new (and therefore not good).   So with all the change happening in the world, not only do most of us have fear and resistance, we also have all of these beliefs that things are going to get worse.   So tod

We will learn: How to recognize an epiphany The stages of every life-changing epiphany How to utilize our epiphanies to their highest potentials.   Have you ever had an epiphany? Do you even know what one is?   We usually use it to mean a sudden revelation or insight… and most of the time I hear it used in those lightbulb moments of creativity… kinda like an “aha” moment.   But I’m coming to learn it goes a little deeper. The dictionary definition is a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential *meaning* of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.   And the word “epiphany” dates all the way back to ancient Greece. It comes from the Greek “epiphaneia,” meaning “appearance” or “manifestation,” and was usually referred to the revelations brought to us by the gods.   So it’s not just about a random insight… it’s an intuition realization about the the deeper mean

We will learn: Multi-sensory healing - your senses are the portals for your awareness Why strong women often feel empty and disconnected inside How to stop outsourcing your authority   Do you believe you can have it all? Or does a part of you believe that having it all is actually a little selfish? As women, we’re given mixed messages, about pretty much everything. Thankfully we live in an era of female empowerment so there are plenty of stories of women being successful and raising a family.   But what I’ve found is that when it comes down to it… like when women are faced with the logistics of what it takes to have both, the choice becomes a little murkier.   We wonder if it’s selfish to outsource our parenting, or if it makes financial sense or what we’re depriving them of, or if we’ll have the energy to succeed and still be a good mom.   So today we’re talking to someone who has done it all.   Cherie Burton is a pioneering spiritual psy

And how your mind and body manifest that unease might be different.There are a few mindset shifts that I think have played a huge role in my being able to overcoming my anxiety quickly.First, I don’t identify with it.
