    In this episode we speak with Cathy Williams from Melbourne, Australia.
    Cathy is an Expressive Arts & Movement Therapist leading participants through art experience workshops to reconnect with their inner need for expression.

    She tells us about the features of her workshop, reminding participants to nurture the dialogue between the mind, the heart and the body, whilst overcoming resistance to feeling and expressing from the body. Her aim is to create a space where people can deeply listen and reconnect to themselves and their intuition.

    Most people look for external validation. Cathy underlines the importance of making decisions that are in alignment with our intuition and validate ourselves internally.
    When we ignore our intuition, we stay in a state of confusion. She shares a personal experience where she entered an emotionally abusive relationship because she listened to her mind instead of her gut.

    She explains why everyone has the capacity for creativity, what barriers people face when wanting to be creative and how there are endless outlets for expressing our creativity. Facing these barriers, her participants break free from these barriers to feeling more confident in their bodies and minds.

    Cathy released her book "Body Wisdom", which offers exercises and animations for people to reconnect whilst seeking their creativity, expression and embodiment.

  • #9 Amanda Lee - The Secrets of Female Embodiment & Deeper Connection
    Apr 18 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode we speak with Amanda Lee from The Northern Beaches, Sydney.
    Amanda is a womb alchemy facilitator and transformational coach supporting women to reach their fullness.

    She emphasises the importance of safety for a woman, explaining trust to be the first step to healing our connection to our feminine self and our life energy.
    Shame is the biggest blockage to feeling safe, being embodied and being in a fully open and receiving state.

    Most modern women operate from their head until they learn to be in the body. She explains how a woman is much more powerful, when she speaks from the heart.
    She believes that the body keeps a "score" until we feel the emotions we need to release. Then, we can open our hearts, feel the beauty of life and feel connected to ourselves to understand who we are.

    She gives insight into the womb healing journey and how we can allow ourselves to heal intimate trauma. Every womb gate activates a part in the womb to ultimately reach ecstasy. Amanda explains the importance of longing, oneness between female and male energies and why a woman needs to remember who she truly is.

    Amanda has a humble and soft approach to speaking about the secret feminine power and her embodiment to reach a deeper connection to her sexuality.

    Jackson is a clinical psychotherapist, specialised in the human connection and relationships, breaking down the stigma of self-care.

    He discusses the value of inner exploration to heal the wounded self, and the markers of suicide, we use to cope with dysfunctional patterns. How to create a safety plan, when thinking about suicide and how to open up to the idea of support.

    Jackson is very passionate about self-nurture and the relationship with ourselves, as the longest we will ever have. He explains why we are only able to deeply connect with others, when we have deeply understood ourselves, including our childhood, being one of the most impactful times on our emotional behaviourism.

    He provides us with a roadmap on codependency and why it is the other side of the same coin as narcissism.

    Jackson discusses why being in a relationship can actually be a great place to find and seek healing, whilst putting yourself first.
