Consciousness in Maidenhood: Dating, Health, God | Rachel's Story

Rachel @racheljane (one of my best friends) and I have a raw conversation about bringing consciousness to every area of her current maiden life: dating, health, food, body image, God/religion, finances, shopping, etc. After being depressed for many years, her life transformed when she tried hypnotherapy for the first time! She discovered a much deeper relationship with God and is now on the path of discovering who her authentic self really is. She is shedding victimhood of her period pain and learned how to alchemize PMS pain by recognizing lineage beliefs about womanhood and now loves to create ritual and ceremony during her bleed. She has learned that dating is a complete mirror of our inner beliefs..... but we need radical self-honesty to see it.

We hope to have more conscious conversations together in the future so let us know what you want to hear in the realm of healing, being conscious, finding the authentic self, and maidenhood: wisewomendiaries@gmail.com

Emily emphasizes the power of suggestion in birth, the influence of who is in the room during birth, and the challenges of breastfeeding her first baby which helped her fully step into her Mother role powerfully to find her voice and intuition. She has learned that deep attunement and connection between mother and baby is everything. She highlights the importance and the need for mothers to trust their instincts, which is why she created a course for mothers to fully step into their role instead of outsourcing to others.
