How do you keep an open heart after heartbreak, grief, trauma, and other painful experiences knowing that more pain is on the way? How do we love others fully and completely and lay bare the most vulnerable parts of ourselves knowing that loss is inevitable?

Ginny and Amanda divulge their own difficulty with this topic, especially Amanda, calling it the "bane of her existence!" The ladies talk openly and candidly about their own experiences with shutting down after traumatic loss and provide excellent tools for you to practice while moving through your own fear of future loss.

Other conversation includes:

• Connection is the cure for grief, addiction, and other difficult trials of life.
• Brene Brown's concept "foreboding joy," the definition of it and what happens when we do not allow ourselves to feel joy because we are in fear it will end.
• Fear of loss is rooted in childhood through emotional abandonment, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to never feel that again.
• Even though abandonment is something many of us are afraid of, we push people away due to an inability to be emotionally intimate with others (a protection method we used in childhood to keep us safe).
• It's selfish to keep ourselves in this fear, thereby, inhibiting true connection and love with those who love us.
• The solution is meeting, knowing, and loving ourselves unconditionally through connecting with source energy (God, Spirit, Universe) so we know deep in our heart we are never truly alone.
• Limiting our dreams and wishes by throwing up roadblocks and other self-sabotaging behaviors because we are afraid of rejection (aka loss).
• Breathwork to calm and reset the nervous system as a pathway to reducing stress accompanied by fear of loss.

We all know about "good vibes." But what are they really? How do we access them? And why is it imperative to tune into these vibrations right now?

Join Ginny and Amanda and their guest, Vicki Somoya, MFA, in an enlightening and informative conversation about what high frequency energy is, how to tap into it, and how to transmute your energy to align with these good vibes. Most importantly, learn how to use this empowered state of unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness to assist the spiritual ascension taking place on the planet.

Listen for key points like:

• How to use breathwork and meditation to access and embody high frequency energy and upgrade your DNA.
• Christ is in all of us (aka Christ Consciousness), the importance of embracing this fact, and why this concept is muted in mainstream religion.
• The necessity of treating trauma with both cognitive and experiential practices in order to reach the highest state of compassion possible.
• The positive effect of regulating the nervous system (rewiring neural pathways) with somatic work in conjunction with acknowledging and healing deeply rooted emotional pain.
• The paradigm shift we are experiencing in terms of understanding what humans are and what we are doing here.
• Polarity is not real, everything is part of the One, and the importance of bringing all pieces of life into coherence.
• Stepping into our power comes with intentional blocks by lower energy and how to sidestep these blocks.
• High vibe eating, including how to program the water you drink.
• And so much more!

Listen for Vicki's beautiful prayer, "Prayer for Paradise on Earth" as well as affirmations to claim your power.

Vicki Somoya, MFA in Dance and Somatics, works with quantum light technology and movement to treat trauma by reprogramming the nervous system. She is a YTT 200 hr Kundalini Yoga trauma-informed facilitator, combining her training in movement with prayer, breathwork, and consciousness practices to assist humans to re-attune their bodies, minds & souls to the new higher frequencies of God Source Love, Compassion, Joy & Light.

Fear. The tiny 4-letter word that runs your emotional show! Fear underpins all anxiety, resentment, and painful relationships that make your life difficult. Can we really rid ourselves of it? Is being completely "fearless" attainable? For most of us, this natural human instinct is here to stay (on some level), so how can we use it as a messenger, showing us where to lean in and grow.

This episode is packed with tips and tools for becoming aware of when and how fear is driving you and suggestions for how to step into it (scared, not fearless!) and emerge from it transformed. Learn the value of exposing fear with the intention of transmuting it into an energy that no longer hinders, but transforms you into the highest version of yourself, which is love.

Key conversations to listen for include:

• The topic of death and how to accept the reality that everyone dies, and how to put this universal fear in perspective
• How to recognize fear and use it as a tool to set boundaries
• We cannot let fear consume us, rather we need to acknowledge it, heal it, and move through it with the intention to be love
• Ginny and Amanda's greatest fears and how they manage them by seeking the real fear under the surface fear
• Calming fear by asking yourself: What if the story I'm telling myself is not true?
• Using a frame of reference to show yourself how you walked through fear before and most likely came out the other side wiser and stronger
• How being of service naturally eliminates fear
• Fear is ALWAYS under anger, and how to get honest about what's really going on
• Becoming aware of how the news uses fear as a tactic to divide us and keep us out of our power
• And more!

Stick around till the end to hear one of the best suggestions of the show!
