Embodied and Awake – Details, episodes & analysis

We never really know another human's story unless we ask. I have had many interactions with my guest this month on various virtual channels, yet had never fully heard her powerful story. Jennifer is a courageous hero who has transcended extreme trauma and is learning, moment-by-moment to unwind it from a lifetime of CPTSD. I was so deeply moved by her story and profound resilience, I know that you will be too. 

It's moments like these when I know exactly what the purpose of this podcast is...to share the real and raw conversations of this wild human life and break down the barriers of our collective existence. 

ABOUT OUR GUEST

Jennifer Parker is an intuitive writer, dancer, and space holder who is passionate about helping complex trauma survivors reclaim their most authentic embodied life. She is the author of the book Secrets of the Resilient Empath and co-creator of Connecting Feeling Healing, a supportive community for healers and creatives. You're most likely to find Jennifer hiking in the woods, blasting dance music in the kitchen, or laughing her head off with family and friends.

My guest this month is Missy Toy Ozeas, an energy healer, guide, and teacher based in California. We had a beautiful and resonant conversation about energy healing and clearing, and how she works with clients. This episode will hopefully provide the inspiration to seek this level of work on oneself, especially if you have felt blocked in any arena of your life. I even got a little taste of her work as she gives me a mini-session! 

ABOUT OUR GUEST: MISSY TOY OZEAS

Missy Toy Ozeas is an Energy Healer, Guide & Teacher. She did not set out to be an energy healer; in fact, for most of her life, she hid her unusual gifts of being able to see energy and energetic patterns because it was too “woo woo” and “out there." 

After finally accepting her life’s purpose, Missy became certified as an Advanced Intuitive Healer, Emotion Code & Body Code practitioner, Reiki II Practitioner, Quantum Human Design Level 1 Specialist, Soul Purpose Coach, Spiritual Life Coach, and a graduate of SIGH's Spiritual Leaders & Teachers Apprentice Program. 
Today, she works with empathic souls all over the world to clear their limiting beliefs, trapped emotions, and other energy blocks so they can show up authentically as their whole, radiant, and worthy selves.

Visit Missy's website to join one of her small group healings, her energy empowerment membership The Whole Soul Journey, or to work with her 1:1 in her signature program, Expansion, to help empathic visionaries step into their next level by banishing self-doubt to emerge as leaders in their field.

This month's guest is Deb Rubin, a therapist based in Boulder, Colorado. I have known Deb for 19 years yet we have never had the opportunity to rap about our work in the world. We dive into all things SEX and offer vulnerable and real talk about many facets of this incredibly important topic, shedding light in the crevices around pleasure, low libido, orgasms, self-exploration, relationships, lifelong practices, the impacts of sexual trauma, and much more.   It is important to note that this conversation is catered to those identifying as heterosexual women and holds tremendous value for women in all cycles of life.  Deb offers practical and tangible wisdom and steps in the direction of truly turning towards oneself in the enlightenment of one's sexuality.   This conversation literally could have gone on for another hour and we covered a lot! There will definitely be a followup interview focused on orgasm coming out this Summer 2022!

These times have certainly shed light on what's important, what our priorities are, what we are grateful for, and who our tribe really is. This episode is a fun and uplifting chat with two wise women, Grace Ragan and Hope Kleist, who behind the scenes are beautifying and inspiring my business as well as several others. Coming from two different generational experiences in navigating this time of pandemic, while working, going to school, raising a young child, and showing up every day while "leaning into" the opportunities that this time has offered, the wisdom shared in our chat is palpable, real, and relevant.  

I am excited to introduce these two women to you, our listeners, and it feels like a perfect launching pad for this new year to come!

As we round out another wild and tumultuous calendar year we have the opportunity to remember the power of working with the mind, to reflect on our journey, resource ourselves in our bodies and hearts, and to glean insight and inspiration moving into this year ahead. This episode is an invitation, an offering, and hopefully a respite of connection in this uncertain human terrain. 

Alison opens up dialogue about the crucial nature of working with our minds, how to do so, and poses questions of reflection to dive in to ourselves. Next year, the podcast will open with three months of interviews on relationships. There is no better time than to turn towards ourselves and work within the framework of our relationship to our own selves before turning to another.

Thank you for tuning in month-after-month!  We genuinely hope that our conversations touch you on a deeper and more meaningful level and are supportive in your unique unfolding of this human existence.
