Self-love isn't about always being your best self or falling head over heels in love with yourself. Rather it is about building a healthy, supportive and empowering relationship with yourself. It is about releasing patterns of self-judgement, guilt, self-criticism and unworthiness and opening up to more self-compassion, kindness and unconditional love. Today on the podcast I am sharing 3 keys to deepening your self-love so you can stop feeling at war with yourself and start feeling more self-acceptance. In this episode I cover: + The signs that you are loving yourself conditionally + What it means to practise unconditional self-love + How to release the story that there is something wrong with you + Loving yourself despite your flaws + The importance of changing your self-talk + Why you need to seperate your worth from your achievements + How to feel good enough, just as you are + The importance of acknowledging and celebrating yourself + Signs that you are self-abandoning + How to practice self-devotion + Why putting yourself first is an act of self-love Full Post & Show Notes: conniechapman.com/deep-self-love Free Feminine Awakening Training: https://courses.conniechapman.com/offers/UrD4KgmA Join the Divine Femme Waitlist: https://conniechapman.com/divinefemme-interest Connect With Me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/connie_chapman Facebook: www.facebook.com/conniechapmanpage Email: [email protected] Website: www.conniechapman.com If you love Awaken Radio, be sure to subscribe and leave the show a rating and review on iTunes, as this will help it reach and support more people.

Feminine energy is cyclical. We are not the same emotionally, energetically or hormonally each day and we are always moving through seasons, ups and downs, ebbs and flow, and various waves of emotion. But I see many women struggling to embrace the seasons and cycles of feminine energy. Instead they try to force their energy to function in more of a masculine way and expect themselves to feel the same, be the same and output the same every day. If we want to embody more of our feminine energy it is important that we begin embracing and honouring all of our various cycles and seasons of energy and learning how to love and support ourselves through them, rather than judge and resist them. In this episode I cover: + What it looks like to have our energy functioning in a masculine way + The tendency to value masculine energy over feminine energy + The cyclical nature of feminine energy and why we need to embrace this + Honouring our menstrual cycle + How we resist and judge the ups and downs of the feminine experience + Why we need to stop pushing and start flowing + How boundaries give direction and structure to your feminine energy + How to honour your feminine and still get things done + The importance of unconditional self love + Why the cycles of your feminine are an invitation to love all of you + Why feminine emotion is like a tropical climate + The secret to quickly clearing and shifting your feminine emotions Get my FREE 5 part training to awaken your feminine energy: https://courses.conniechapman.com/offers/UrD4KgmA Join the Divine Femme waitlist: https://conniechapman.com/divinefemme-interest Full Post & Show Notes: conniechapman.com/feminine-cycles Connect With Me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/connie_chapman Facebook: www.facebook.com/conniechapmanpage Email: [email protected] Website: www.conniechapman.com If you love Awaken Radio, be sure to subscribe and leave the show a rating and review on iTunes, as this will help it reach and support more people.

Today I dive into comparison, envy and feeling triggered by other women.⁣ ⁣ I explore why seeing a woman expressing the fullness of herself, her feminine essence, her success or her power can make us feel triggered, uncomfortable, judgemental or even envious. I share how to work through these types of triggers so you can finally resolve this pattern, reclaim your power and allow other women to help you expand. In this episode I cover: + How a drop in my Instagram following sparked this conversation + Why I used to feel uncomfortable seeing women expressing their feminine sensuality and sexuality + The opportunity in our triggers and what they are showing us + Why the full range of the feminine has been suppressed + Why our triggers are mirrors + Working through comparison and envy + Why our triggers are showing us what we deeply desire + Reclaiming part of ourselves that we have judged, suppressed and denied + How pole dancing has liberated my sensuality and sexuality + The importance of celebrating other women + Why the people who trigger us are teachers and expanders + The invitation to no longer worry what other people think of you + Breaking free from self-censoring + The growth and healing opportunity in our triggers Full post & show notes: https://conniechapman.com/triggered-by-women Get my FREE 5 part training to awaken your feminine energy: https://courses.conniechapman.com/offers/UrD4KgmA Connect With Me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/connie_chapman Website: www.conniechapman.com If you love Awaken Radio, be sure to subscribe and leave the show a rating and review on iTunes, as this will help it reach and support more people.

Today I am diving into a conversation about perfectionism because if I were to be completely honest, this is something I am really navigating at the moment. Perfectionism has been playing out in my business in a big way lately and it has been stopping me from expressing my messages and sharing my creations. Breaking free from perfectionism is not always easy, so I wanted to share some of the practices I have been working with to help me. Healing this pattern requires us to face our fears of being imperfect and not good enough, detach from the outcome, release external validation and instead return to the joy and inner fulfilment of what we are doing and creating. In this episode I cover: - How perfectionism blocks our authentic self-expression and creativity - Returning to your joy and why is the key to getting unstuck - Being guided by your inner fulfilment rather than external validation - How to embrace your imperfections, mistakes and messiness - Why releasing perfectionism is a journey of self-love - How to uncover the deeper wound and fear that is driving your perfectionist tendencies - Taking your focus off the outcome and return to loving the process - Untangling your worth from what you do or achieve - Reconnecting with the essence of your inner child - The power of embodying playfulness and dropping self-judgement Full Post & Show Notes: conniechapman.com/perfectionism Connect With Me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/connie_chapman Facebook: www.facebook.com/conniechapmanpage Email: [email protected] Website: www.conniechapman.com If you love Awaken Radio, be sure to subscribe and leave the show a rating and review on iTunes, as this will help it reach and support more people.

In today’s episode, I dive into a raw and honest conversation about boundaries and I share some of my current challenges in this area.⁣ ⁣ I talk about the importance of clearly communicating our boundaries so they are not just 'unspoken expectations' that when broken leave us feeling resentful and unsupported. ⁣ ⁣ And I dive into the reason why many of us struggle with implementing boundaries which stems from our learned patterns of people-pleasing, seeking external love, putting others before ourselves and needing to be liked.⁣ ⁣ This conversation is about practising self-love and self-honouring, valuing yourself and having the courage to prioritise your wants and needs. ⁣ In this episode I cover: - What it means to honour yourself and how to practice this - Why our boundaries are our responsibility - The danger of holding unspoken expectations - How to get clear on the boundaries you want and need to set - The importance of speaking up and having uncomfortable conversations - How patterns of people-pleasing stop you implementing boundaries - Practising self-forgiveness - How to begin honouring your own feelings and needs - Breaking the cycle of self-abandonment - Indicators that our boundaries have been broken - The power of your anger and why it needs to be honoured - Using your inner masculine energy to implement boundaries - Why honouring yourself inspires others to do the same Connect With Me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/connie_chapman Facebook: www.facebook.com/conniechapmanpage Email: [email protected] Website: www.conniechapman.com If you love Awaken Radio, be sure to subscribe and leave the show a rating and review on iTunes, as this will help it reach and support more people.

Working with regular self-care practices and rituals is a powerful way nurture yourself, connect in with your feelings and needs, and fill yourself up from within. These consistent rituals can support you in feeling grounded and clear and can serve as anchor points when you are feeling overwhelmed and out of alignment.

So, today on the podcast, I am sharing the 6 key rituals and practices that I will be working with in 2021. I dive into each of these practices in detail and share how you can apply them in your own life to support yourself through the year. In this episode I cover: - How to choose the right self-care practices for you, rather than following what you think you should be doing, or what others are doing - The power of choosing practices that support both your inner feminine and masculine energies - How to design a morning practice that deeply nourishes you - Why it is ok for your morning practice to look different each day - How to use embodiment practices and your sensuality to deeply connect with your body - How to get out of your mind and into your body - Why a stillness practice like meditation is incredibly grounding for the feminine - How to start with a meditation practice even if you feel resistant - How to practice self-soothing and regulate your emotions - What it means to hold space for yourself and how to do this - Why it is powerful to process your emotional reactions yourself before expressing or sharing them with others - Why journaling is a powerful tool for inner work - Some simple journalling prompts you can work with to help create a regular journaling practice - A weekly planning ritual that you can work with to set yourself up for success - How using planning to structure and clarity can help your feminine feel calm and safe and reduce overwhelm - A bonus money ritual you can use to feel more empowered in your finances Full Post & Show Notes: conniechapman.com/self-care-rituals Connect With Me: Instagram: www.instagram.com/connie_chapman Facebook: www.facebook.com/conniechapmanpage Email: [email protected] Website: www.conniechapman.com If you love Awaken Radio, be sure to subscribe and leave the show a rating and review on iTunes, as this will help it reach and support more people.

When we are working towards what we want, it is easy to become disconnected from our feminine energy. Instead, rely too heavily on our inner masculine energy and we end up feeling exhausted, over-worked and burdened. So in today’s episode, I share with you how to create and manifest your dreams and desires while staying connected to and embodied in your feminine energy. This way of manifesting and working towards what you want, allows you to still take action and show up powerfully but ensures your energy remains radiant, magnetic and deeply connected to your body through the process. In this episode, I cover: - Why it can be challenging to stay connected to our feminine while creating our dreams - Why manifestation is a co-creative process - How to open up and allow the Universe to support you - How to know which parts of your manifestation you need to surrender and let go of - What it means to shift into receptive mode and how to practise it - How to embody and radiate a magnetic energy - How to access your intuition when manifesting - Why you need to balance doing with being, and action with receiving - Why the feminine needs her divine inner masculine energy in order to manifest - The importance of rituals, structure and systems in your life - What it looks like if you are too in your masculine or too in your feminine when manifesting - How to reconnect with your feminine after a period of being in your masculine - How to bring more pleasure to your workday - The importance of honouring your body and your needs despite your plans and goals - And I announce that the doors to She Is Magnetic are now open!
