Sis, we are creators - we deserve to live in peace and abundance. But the sad fact is most women have experienced short term or long term trauma in their life. To stop this cycle of abuse we must collectively remember to learn how to master our minds and our emotions with good boundaries.

Generational pain must stop somewhere. Let it start with you. We can lift ourselves up. The stronger we are, the stronger the world will be.

Trauma is complex and even more complex for women and women of color. Navigating trauma while trying to heal has even more complex outcomes. In this episode we continue our season of healing by discussing the impact of self sabotage and expectations of women. We also offer ways to take back your life using grounding techniques.

I recommend you listen to these podcasts in order. Last episodes we discussed the divine feminine and how to make sure you have only supportive people around you.

We also discuss the USA election and the recent news of torture, abuse and murder of women in India.

In this episode we talk about the importance of mothering ourselves. The voice of your abusers can no longer live rent free in your head. This is the first step to getting your mind back. Being kind to yourself after trauma takes a lifetime of work - but it is the best thing you can do for yourself as you heal.

Call for Co-Hosts

I am looking for more women in the collective that can join me in this discussion around personal empowerment after trauma. If you are available to share your advice, we want to hear it. Please message me if you are interested. I do promise that as I grow, so will you.

Jai Ganesha.

Own the mess. Audit your life.

We will discuss why it is important to ensure you have positive people in your life. It’s critical to review who is in your life now, who is supportive and let the others go. It will be super uncomfortable and difficult. But it must be done. We also share tools about the importance of balancing your root chakra and how your vedic natal chart tells you about abusive parents.

We discuss the war on women in the media and politics. We also discuss the staggering statistics of domestic violence in the USA. Combine all this and add our family or partner history and we have trauma or chronic PTSD. I provide tips and tricks on how we work through all of this and remember who women really are. I hope you enjoy this episode. Feedback is always welcome.
