An Unscripted Woman Podcast

This is the first chapter that I really dig into the stories of masculine energy and my experience of it as a woman. In doing so, I also explore how I wasn't able to even get to that conversation with myself until I really started to sit with my identity as a woman and how I had essentially dissociated from from that until my first pregnancy "outted me" and forced my hand. This is the story about how I actively participated in my own shame, and how once I could face it - with compassion - I was able to more fully access and leverage some of my favorite parts of myself.

This episode gets at the heart of what I mean when I say "luminous living" — it's about allowing ourselves to live the fullest RANGE of who we are, and in doing so amping up our wattage so that we are able to shine more brightly in the world. I also spend time exploring the value of "mustering" as a means to both honor and ready ourselves for making a courageous or bold move and talk about the tools I use (for myself and my clients) that help me grease the skids when I am most resistant or scared to move out of my comfort zone.

In this episode, I do my damnedest to drill down to the nitty gritty details of defining the masculine and the feminine for myself. In the process, I highlight why that process/conversation is so hard to have — with ourselves AND with others — and how easy it is to avoid it all together. I also shine a light on why I see it as one of the most central conversations of our time, and make a case (if for no one else than myself) for why differentiating and defining masculine and feminine energies within ourselves is at the heart of living and leading a more luminous life.

This episode looks at the ways we can SEE ourselves more clearly as women — and how the missing pieces of our self perception can inadvertently contribute to dimming our own lights and not showing up fully as we are. Embedded in this episode is an invitation to actively contribute our own visibility — first to ourselves, and then to each other — as a means to embody the fullest expression of our worth and more freely share our gifts (which adds value to how we live/lead).

This episode explores the hidden gems that lurk in the messy detritus of a life - and invites readers to put on some mud boots and dig in to the discomfort that can so easily be stepped over. At the heart of this topic is a call to examine all the data points inside ourselves — the good, the bad, and the often the ugly — as a means to shine a light on and validate our desire so that we can ultimately muster the courage to intentionally disrupt the status quo to get where we want to go.

This is Episode #2 of kickoff season for my podcast, An Unscripted Woman. After setting the stage for this latest creative endeavor of mine (hint: it's my response to the request I hear so often: When will the audio version of your book be released?), I jump right in by reading the first chapter (Unscripted) of my book Unscripted: A Woman's Living Prayer. I conclude by riffing a bit on what I've noticed, learned, experienced since writing that chapter. Note: Weekly episodes will begin starting in September 2016, with each episode corresponding to the next subsequent chapter of my book. If you'd like to follow along, follow me on Soundcloud, subscribe to the feed via iTunes, or look for each episode posted on my blog or the SheChanges page on Facebook.
