Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine

* This Episode was originally released in May of 2023*

Someone once said that aging isn't for the faint of heart. Aging can indeed be challenging and intimidating. Especially for Women. With so much focus on our looks and the reactions we elicit from the opposite sex, it can be hard to go gently into that dark night and embrace getting older. Watching our physical appearance change and possibly feel less noticed and revered. Yet, do we really lose value as we get older? My guest this week, Dana Irvine, joins us this week to say, absolutely not! There is a radiance and wisdom to Women of a certain age. They tend to become more comfortable with themselves, learn how to understand what they want and ask for it, and care less about what other people think and more about what brings them peace and joy.
On this episode, Dana shares a great deal about her work of helping Women get proactive through their body, mind, spirit, and emotions to have the best possible experience of moving into mid and later life. Dana explains the 4 pillars of health, the value of embracing change, and how we can get more in touch with ourselves, our sexuality, and our joy so we can se aging as the beautiful, sacred process it is.
Dana is a mother of three young adults and has been married for 27 years. She has been a professional hospitality and event planner for several years but felt the need to create and coach healthier lifestyles for women. The true awakening of Dana’s journey happened in 2018 when her sister was diagnosed with Brain Cancer and passed. Life spun out of control – the why – the how – what were the signs? Finally, her mission on how to coach women about prevention and to recognize health challenges to live life to the fullest potential. Dana’s insightfulness and compassion for women shines through her life as a coach, friend, mother and wife and her passion to live her life with purpose, speaking
about topics such as sex, menopause, marriage, family, and women’s health. Dana is the host of Wise Divine Women Podcast.

The most liberating transformation we can ever undergo is moving from a place of fear into recognition that we always have a choice. Fear is information, not identity. And not truth. Fear isn’t weakness — it’s information. It can show up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, or the need for approval. My guest this week, Terri Kozlowsk, has turned her challenges with fear and trauma into a joyous triumph of learning to trust your her own inner wisdom again after years of fear, conditioning, and self-doubt. Terry is a Native American Soul Coach, award-winning author, speaker, and founder of Kozmic Soul Solutions LLC.
On this guest episode, Terri Kozlowski shares her experience of growing up through childhood abuse and abandonment and how she found her path to a healing journey to where fear doesn't rule your life. She talks about how to notice when fear is trying to protect you without letting it    make your choices. That when you notice the pattern, you create a pause. In that pause, you can listen inward and choose what reflects who you are now. Terri and I compare our experiences of our shifts from asking “Why me?” to asking “What now?” and how that
changed the direction of our lives.Together we explore the masks and armor we develop to survive, and what it takes to realize we may not need them anymore. As well as the idea of responsibility without blame, that we aren’t responsible for what happened to us, but we do have responsibility for what we do with it now. She highlights he difference between the egoic mind reacting from fear and thesoulful self responding with awareness and choice.

Most of us have heard of the term " A Spiritual Awakening", yet what does it actually mean? Is it something that happens instantaneously or over time? Is there something we have to do to bring it about? Do they happen for everyone? Are they positive or unpleasant experiences? These are some questions I wanted to explore so I decided to do an Identify and Heal solo episode on the topic to share my personal experience, common concepts and misconceptions around it, the challenges of an SA, and the beautiful benefits.
There are many ways that a Spiritual Awakening moves us into greater alignment with our Divine Feminine self and begin to end patterns of codependency and self destruction. So take a listen and see if anything rings true for your own experience or sounds familiar for what you may have been going through lately. You might just be beginning your awakening journey.

Are negative mental loops and codependency holding you back? Discover how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can help you achieve freedom and healing. There are a multitude of modalities out there for anyone seeking to address, heal, and overcome the pain and habits that hold them back. Emotional Freedom Techniques AKA, tapping, is a means to regulate your nervous system when you are having feelings of fear, self doubt, internal conflict, grief, or any emotion that you can identify as being charged, heavy, and in need of release. Immediately attending to these feelings can keep them from being stored away in your psyche and emotional and physical body to haunt you like a ghost, never knowing when they might pop up. My guest today, Theresa Lear Levine, is an EFT Master Practitioner and shares with us the wonder and benefits of tapping.
On this episode Theresa and I discuss the importance of learning how to regulate your nervous system, how some people have learned to be more at home in a dysregulated system resulting in subconsciously seeking out chaos in their relationships, and how to TAP into the Law of Attraction and getting out of your own way.

Theresa Lear Levine is the founder of Becoming More Me where she helps professional women to get out of their own way and resolve their innermost pains, traumas and challenges so they can fully enjoy their success and present moments. Theresa’s personal struggles with past traumas, high functioning anxiety, and ADHD kept her in an ego driven holding pattern of dissatisfaction and stress for longer than she likes to admit. Eventually, it led to exhaustion, insomnia and a lot of difficulty being present in her own life. All of those negative feelings seemed to melt away when she began cracking the code to her nervous system, taking responsibility for her own wellbeing, and elevating her consciousness in ways that truly restored her feelings of calm, clarity and confidence. Theresa is the host of the Becoming More Me Podcast and lives near Washington, DC with her husband, Jeff, and their 4 boys as well as their 2 yellow labs.

Tapping along with us is just like working with Theresa and it's jam packed with value, nervous system regulation and breakthroughs!
