What Your Pain Is Trying To Tell You | Dr. Aidan Kinsella DC on Body Wisdom

Season 1 · Episode 66

jeudi 12 décembre 2024 • Duration 01:04:19

"The challenging thing about pain is that it interrupts us. We're actually pretty tolerant of pain. We can walk with and live with a lot of pain, but when pain interrupts us, that's when we get upset and frustrated. That interruption is sacred because it allows us to recognize the change that either has already happened that we need to adapt to, or is happening, or is coming." - Dr. Aidan Kinsella

Dr. Kinsella shares how our bodies hold the key to deeper understanding, especially during times of challenge or transition. Whether you're navigating stress, seeking answers, or ready to access more of your natural wisdom, this episode offers a revolutionary perspective on listening to your body's intelligence.

Trust Your Intuition to Manifest Your Dream Life | Divine Alignment Guide

Season 1 · Episode 56

lundi 19 août 2024 • Duration 41:27

"Sometimes the things of this universe don't make logical sense. If you think of the ecosystem taking place around our globe and how many variables are playing into every situation, there is no way our puny, egoic logical minds can wrap around it all. So for us to think we can make a decision purely based on our logical minds, that's crazy." - Jen Briggs

My loves, I'm sharing something wild with you today – how I've been creating space for magic to flow into my life. This isn't about manifesting from a place of lack or treating the universe like a genie in a bottle. It's about tuning into our bodies' divine wisdom, trusting those goosebumps and intuitive hits that guide us home to ourselves. I'm opening up about my Scotland journey, unexpected synchronicities, and how following what lights me up has created a life more rich and full than I could have imagined. This is your permission slip to trust your body's knowing, even when – especially when – it doesn't make "logical" sense. Consider this my heart reaching out to yours, because I truly believe this wisdom lives in all of us.

Stand Out By Being You: How Values Attract The Right People

Season 1 · Episode 54

lundi 12 août 2024 • Duration 21:07

"If you want to fit in, you won't stand out. If you want to stand out, you can't fit in. So we're going to create some boldness by getting really clear for you on what your most core values are... what makes your heart sing." - Jen Briggs

This week I'm sharing one of my most powerful exercises for creating magnetic attraction in your life. When we try to be everything to everyone, we end up diluting our uniqueness and attracting relationships that don't truly serve us. This episode walks you through identifying your deepest values, transforming them into belief statements, and having the courage to let go of connections that no longer fit your authentic self. It might feel scary to repel some people - that's normal! Our primal brains fear rejection. But I promise you, on the other side of that fear is a life that feels so much more aligned, vibrant, and connected. This is your invitation to shine brightly in your uniqueness, knowing you're contributing perfectly to our collective ecosystem.

Divine Feminine Awakening: Alana Warlop on Sacred Power

Season 1 · Episode 53

jeudi 8 août 2024 • Duration 01:24:22

"What we have forgotten is the blueprint of love. I think the blueprint of love is essentially what we have come here to forget, to remember... When I remember that, it's like I connected into knowing the most basic thing that we should know... that we are the field." - Alana Warlop

This episode is pure divine transmission. Alana takes us on her journey from working "like a man" in the healing world to finding the sacred path of the feminine through pilgrimages across Bali, France, and Portugal. What I adore about this conversation is how she weaves ancient wisdom with practical modern application - showing us how to harness our emotional mastery, connect with our sensorial nature, and transmute our sacred rage into power. This isn't about bypassing shadow work or numbing out through spiritual practice. It's about the courageous journey of feeling it all, containing the full spectrum of our emotions, and emerging as the goddess, priestess, and medicine woman you were born to be. Receive this wisdom, let it wash over you, and remember what your soul already knows.

True Resilience: Honoring Rest to Avoid Burnout and Emerge Stronger

Season 1 · Episode 52

lundi 5 août 2024 • Duration 15:12

"Resilience is not toughing it out at all costs all the time. It's knowing when to say no, so that you can get what you need, so that you can come back. Until we're healed and whole enough to perform, then it's not time to come out." - Jennifer Briggs

This week I'm challenging the wounded masculine approach to resilience that tells us to push through at any cost. Looking at Simone Biles' journey as inspiration, I'm sharing why true resilience requires both the courage to rest and the discipline to emerge when truly ready. When we're on the edge of transformation, we must be willing to hold the tension until something new emerges - this isn't weakness, it's wisdom. Being isn't a luxury, it's a discipline that creates the space for genuine rebirth. Whether you need a moment to breathe or a season to cocoon, this episode invites you to honor your body's wisdom and find the resilience that comes from authentic healing, not just pushing through.

CHAPTERS:
0:00 Introduction: Redefining Resilience

True Masculine Power: Max Trombly on Vision, Purpose and Freedom

Season 1 · Episode 50

jeudi 1 août 2024 • Duration 01:39:45

"I want to land on this here, because people need to stop going 'I'm looking for a conscious man,' and they have to start going 'What is a real man, a good man, feel like? What is a real man of integrity, vitality and determination feel like?' And why are we not aware of that?" - Max Trombly

This episode brings so much clarity to what's often missing in conversations about masculinity today. Max doesn't hold back - he challenges the vague "conscious man" concept and gets specific about what makes a good man: integrity, clear vision, and the capacity to lead with both strength and heart. Whether you're wondering where all the good men are, or seeking to step more fully into your own masculine power, this conversation offers both the straight talk and the depth necessary for real transformation. I especially appreciated Max's insights on finding true freedom through commitment rather than endless options - such a powerful reframe for our times!

Releasing Resistance: Jen Briggs on Faith, Flow, and Alignment

Season 1 · Episode 50

lundi 22 juillet 2024 • Duration 24:40

"When you remain open to all points of view, not rigidly attached to only one, your dreams and desires will flow with nature's desires. Then you can release your intentions without attachment and just wait for the appropriate season for your desires to blossom into reality." - Deepak Chopra

There's a profound difference between choosing to believe something and simply knowing it without question. This week, I'm sharing a personal breakthrough about faith that goes beyond logical choice or evidence-based thinking. I've discovered that true faith emerges naturally when we release resistance - those internal blockages, doubts, and fears that snag our energy like pegs in our center column. By acknowledging these tensions without fighting them, we align with universal flow and discover a knowing as certain as gravity. If you've been muscling through belief or struggling with doubt, this episode offers a gentle path to deeper alignment through awareness and surrender rather than force.

0:00 Introduction: Different Levels of Faith
2:38 The Chair Analogy: From Choice to Knowing
5:49 When Resistance Falls Away
7:24 The Center Column & Energy Blockages
10:48 The Law of Least Effort
