Awakened Woman Self Care podcast

This episode sprung from the poem Observer Status (see below). It's an invitation to move from an unhealthy observer role to a more healthy discernment of where external "authorities" make sense for us and where it is simply a program being run on a loop. As always, sacred self care means we are willing to take responsibility for ourselves.  As things in our external world become more visible, our...

We know it's time to wake up from who we thought we were and begin to thrive, and to live in harmony with all living beings. In part four of a story series, host Christine Pensa considers the evolution of sacred story and what that means for us right now on this Earth.  This episode explores these questions; What stories are we continuing to give our attention to in the external world? How do we n...

You can find that episode in the show page archives (Episode 151 The Curren-sea of our new businesses with Elaira Flow). Elaira brings over 20 years of experience as a trauma informed somatic business coach, a healer with extrasensory abilities and an architect of new business paradigm that is necessarily holisti...

My guest in this (love) full episode is Jarmila, Transparent Crystal Spirit Guide, Blue printer, Soul master healer, and human issues energy healer. As Jarmila shares; "Through my work I have found that my soul originated from the Prime Creator, the Infinite Mother Goddess of All Creation. At the soul level my choosing has been of healing divine service through the physical representation of sacre...

This is a very special episode, an offering, a neo-ceremony through the kind of ongoing, infinite, cosmic conversation you have with heart friends. My beautiful guest is Sahala Larnyoh a woman with a powerful voice that can communicate many layers of frequencies. In addition to our conversation, (which I feel is a sound bath) you will hear an exclusive preview of Sahala's new song with Altosounds...

It's coming up all over the place, shame as a tool to tell you who and what to be.  Let's explore what and how shame might be calling to us to resolve and heal in order for us and the planet to evolve right now.  We all know and have experienced shame. It is expressed on the emotional scale as the very lowest frequency, lower even than grief or fear.  This episode is an invitation to question your...

How do we navigate these times when many people, practices and teachings are being revealed to be less than authentic and actually doing harm. How do we come to a place of reverence and respect for the true way showers without giving our own power away.  First, we can choose to resolve judgement and resistance within ourselves. Noticing if we are dis-honouring ourselves, our own power, then perhap...

It seems fitting that this fall I begin a new season, officially season 6, as it feels like a new world, filled with powerful new beginnings. After a long hiatus the podcast is back with a brand new episode—because NOW is the time to cast nothing but light. What does that mean for us to cast nothing but light? It is a choice to live, move and experience through the light of ourselves. We're learni...

An updated reprise of episode 150 outlining the continued importance of freeing yourself to be misunderstood as a powerful self love practice.  Being misunderstood is a primal wound many of us are experiencing in these times. Freeing ourselves to be misunderstood is part of the powerful and profound work we can do right now on our beautiful planet.  It's time to stop plucking at the leaves of what...

As my summer hiatus continues, I am bringing forward past episodes that present themselves for another listen. This one came through a number of synchronicities. As I explained in the new introduction, I found great value in re-listening to this one and was able to deepen into the message Dr. Brianne Grogan shared.  The original episode was titled; The Practical Magic of the Pelvic Floor with Dr....

This is in part a repeat episode from September 2021 (episode 139). The theme is our power to choose. It's coming around again! It is ever more important to deepen into your knowing of what is true, because saying no can be a yes to more of you. The original episode was inspired by you, the listeners, who call forward what wants to be heard, and by an instagram post on neutrality. The post came fr...

This is a reprise of episode 154 recorded in May of 2022, and an invitation to revisit both the episode and your own growth over the last year.  I recorded a new introduction, and just like I did, it's a call to observe where you can expand and deepen into more of who you are as we continue to create, and grow on the Earth in these powerful times. (from the original episode) This month is another...

This episode was inspired by a well known aphorism, curiosity killed the cat, and is an exploration into how, why, and where our natural curiosity may have been suppressed. What does curiosity really mean and why would we damn up the river of information that flows to us and through us? Why would we choose to block that which helps us navigate the truth of our divinity? Curiosity begets self maste...

The new song  (art & poetry Christine Pensa) As I wake I ask my heart Show me the beauty beyond the beauty I thought I knew Let me step beyond fields of possibility I thought were mine Let me have the courage to leave behind what I thought was true Let me shed like tattered rags the beliefs and images I have worn in unknowing  So that my brilliance is all clothing that I need ~ This episode is a r...

This engaging and heart opening episode features guest Laura Bolton and what she terms her "radical" decision to leave all social media. As we discovered in our discussion, it's not just about social media, it's about everything. Our conversation is an invitation to notice where and how we are participating in any kind of toxic pattern or relationship in our own lives.  Collectively we are steppin...

f a straight line is not the fastest route from A to B, what is your path to the wonder of you? What does that meandering path look like in this moment on the Earth? This episode is an invitation to notice where you have been in reaction when you really want to be in true, aligned action in accordance with what your heart already knows is the path that's best for you. That impulse is also in colla...

This episode is a deepening of an exploration of the walls between us that host Christine Pensa did in episode 127. It's an invitation to notice where and how you have been creating metaphorical and real walls within yourself—to notice where you have been following paths and practices that are not truly who you are NOW. We've been in warrior mode for some time now and it's time to relearn and reme...

Opening into 2023 this first episode of the year was inspired by the phrase full of yourself. It was something I explored in a former episode and as we move into the new year, this is an invitation to deepen into the question, "If you're not full of yourself, who else and what else are you full of?" How much of your true self you are full of and where can you find more you. A beautiful way to find...

As the year draws to a close it is ever more important to consciously navigate your sacred self care. Being present is a powerful act that brings you and those around you into the higher frequency of who you truly are. Noticing what, who, where you are hitting the edges of you and are being pulled away from that centre. Choosing to stand in the light of you. To close out the year, podcast host Chr...

At this moment on the planet, we are releasing so many outdated beliefs and structures. Food is one of the big ones, and very personal for so many women. In this episode, my guest, food freedom coach and holistic wellness expert Sloane Elizabeth and I are talking about food and unraveling many of the layers of the (pardon the pun) heaviness that has been entangled with our relationship to food. In...

The focus of each episode, whether with a guest, or solo with host Christine Pensa, is an offering meant to assist you to thrive in harmony with your true human embodiment. This episode is an exploration of yet another side of witnessing. Christine shares why it is so instrumental t...

This episode is a further exploration of the question now what (?) and our longing to inner-stand what is next for during this pivotal time on the planet. What if it's time to step through what has been a comfort to discover the immensity of our cosmic expression on the Earth now. We know we are made for these times, but what if the way we have been going about it is ready to evolve alongside of u...

Kaya Usher is my very special repeat guest in this episode. She's a true pioneer and brilliant at sharing and showing others how to navigate the waters of these times. Kaya's story is an inspiring one, it is one that can uplift anyone who choses to open to their own infinite possibility. Her journey led her through hardships, which might have derailed many of us, but through all the challenges she...

This mini episode is a reminder to notice when and where you are moving out of the present moment into the past or the future. Being very aware of where you might be numbing out or not taking responsibility for knowing or reading your own user manual. It's time to stop picking at the leaves and dive into the roots of you. Finding balance, finding yourself and going back to the basics of you. Simpl...

As we move into autumn, I'm revisiting the metaphor of the caterpillar and butterfly, diving into a deeper layer to explore how we humans have lived with the perspective of the caterpillar for enough time. We are in a moment where we know we are being called to shift from that field of limitation, and change into the butterflies we have always been. This episode is an invitation to observe yoursel...
