Healing Lifestyle Design

In this episode I share with you what you will learn & experience in each module of the Healing Lifestyle Design Immersion program.

In this episode I chat about how Healing Lifestyle Design came to be and the guiding principles of HLD.

Welcome to season 3 of the Healing Lifestyle Design Podcast!

Maybe you recoil thinking of your inner wild woman, or maybe you are thrilled about her. Either way, you need to actively seek out the wild woman within, your true self buried beneath the conditioned responses and culturally appropriate facades. (I’m looking at you: corsets, stiletto heels, and underwire bras!)

Healing will be expedited and physical pain will decrease by seeking her out.

In this episode, you'll discover:

-Discover several common female archetypes and what they mean for you...1:00

-The Wild Woman is the opposite of the modern “made” woman...7:40

Feeling safe, in your body and bones, not in your psyche, is crucial for healing...14:30

The Wild Woman is unique to each individual, but there are common characteristics...16:00

Reconnect with your Untamed Self by following your pleasures...26:50

Healing is getting back to the basics; a surprisingly challenging task in the modern world...35:50

Books mentioned in this episode:

Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

Womb Awakening: Initiatory Wisdom from the Creatrix of All Life

The modern world moves at an incredible pace. You could fill 1,000 lifetimes with the events and activities available, but we have one lifetime and one body.

In this episode, we will learn about the importance of seeking not just rest, but getting to the deeper concept of restoration in several key areas of our lives, which I will discuss with you.

Always remember: Personal inquiry is your greatest tool to discover what you already know you need.

In this episode, you'll discover:

-The difference between rest and restoration...00:15

-When we don’t rest (pause) and restore (make shifts and heal) it gives way to dis-ease and illness...05:45

-Strategies to overcome the broader culture and begin to value and love rest...07:45

-Inquiry will guide you to what you need....11:05

-Listen to your own whispers...11:05

-How your body informs your need for rest...19:35

-How our social interactions interfere with getting optimal rest...23:00

-The 5 indispensable areas of rest in our lives...26:45

• Spiritual
• Emotional
• Creative
• Mental
• Sensory

-You are invited to use rest and restoration for your own self-healing. This is not a strategy to “fix” yourself, but rather an honest approach to implement small changes to honor your unique needs....43:10

Today we are going to chat about what is healing. And I want to discuss this because I want it to bring you a sense of safety, a sense of ease and calm.

We can often get stuck in the nitty gritty, the "should I do this" modality? Remind yourself of the big picture. This isn't everything, but it'll help you begin to remember what healing is and why you're on this journey to begin with.

Here's a bit of what you'll hear in this episode:

-Those who choose the healing journey will help to awaken the world...

-Surrendering to the unknown...

-Awareness of the physical guides in our body to healing...

-Tend to our shadow parts and the child within...

-We can't begin to heal when we don't feel safe...

-How the chakras are connected to our healing...

-Healing is the becoming of your true self...

Today we're talking about feminine embodiment and how you can cultivate more of it so that you can heal. Embodiment happens in the present moment. The only time we can embody what is going on in the moment we have to be in the present moment to feel and sense with.

Are you ready to heal?

Then let's get going!

In this episode, you'll discover:

-What is "embodiment"?...

-Why we second-guess the wisdom from within...

-Feeling safe to feel what's within our body...

-Creating space and time to heal...

-Feminine vs. masculine traits...

-We're all relearning our feminine embodiment...

-Working with, not against, nature...

-How will you embody you?...

Enjoy this 10 minute somatic tracking practice. The purpose of somatic tracking is to help you attend to the painful sensation through a lens of safety, thus deactivating the pain signal. 

In today’s episode I discuss the possibility that eating too many foods that are higher in oxalates may be causing your chronic pain and symptoms. I share with you the research, resources to investigate and give you recommendations for what you can do to start taking action to reduce your oxalate build up in your tissues and body.
