I’ve said over and over again that there’s something magical that happens when a community of aligned women come together. Gathering in Circles is something that our feminine ancestors knew how to do, but in our modern world, these opportunities to gather and truly open up and reveal ourselves is rare. When we gather in a container rooted in the power of our femininity, it is not to create a hierarchy or competition, it is simply to witness, to hold and to nurture one another so we can each uncover our own sovereign strength.

I’m doing something I’ve never done before. I’ve invited some guests who feel incredibly near and dear to my heart. Jackie Chuang and Lauren Sessa are graduates of the 2020 Circle of The Heart Lab and they are here to share what they learned from the program, but most importantly,  they are here to share what they learned as they witnessed each other in our weekly group sessions. 

I believe Rumi said it best: “We’re all just walking each other home.”

What You'll Learn in this Episode: 

  • Why highly driven, independent women need community to heal trauma
  • The burnout cycle of over-giving and validation-seeking
  • How the culture of accountability in a community leads to safety
  • How safe community allows you to witness your own humanity and stop minimizing your own experience 
  • Why we need different medicines for different emotions
