Elizabeth Brett is a priestess mama on a mission to help you remember the ancient wisdom coursing through your veins, reclaim the magic only you possess, and step into your Queen era. In our recent conversation, we delved into the often overlooked yet vital phase of the cycle—the fertile void. Society often teaches us that this quiet, seemingly unproductive period is "bad" because nothing appears to be happening. But we want to affirm that the fertile void is not only normal but necessary.

Just like the pause between the inhale and exhale of a breath, this phase is a vital part of life’s cycle—mirroring the winter season, where growth happens beneath the surface. It is a time of shedding what no longer serves us, preparing for rebirth and transformation. Though the world around us may not acknowledge this quiet phase, it is an essential part of our empowerment as women and mothers.

Elizabeth and I also shared personal stories of how embracing the "goo" of transformation—this period of shedding and slowing down—has allowed us to reclaim our power. We can move from martyrdom to a place where we nurture our souls deeply, in alignment with our true desires.

We invite you to honor this phase and step into it fully, without judgment or resistance. Slow down, listen to your body, and allow the fertile void to do its magic.

Be sure to register for the event next week, where Elizabeth and I will dive even deeper into these concepts. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to save your seat and learn how to embrace presence and transformation on a soul-deep level.

In this heartfelt episode, Valerie Moore and I share some insights on the power of practicing self-awareness and embracing the full spectrum of emotions. Valerie, a compassionate therapist and SoulCollage practitioner, encourages listeners to connect with their feelings and body, without judgment, and to extend kindness and grace toward themselves during every emotional experience.

Key Takeaways:

• Embrace All Feelings: Valerie reminds us that all feelings are valid, even the uncomfortable ones. By practicing self-awareness, we give ourselves permission to fully experience whatever emotions arise without judgment.
• Cultivate Self-Grace and Kindness: Rather than succumbing to harsh self-criticism, Valerie emphasizes the importance of treating ourselves with compassion, fostering self-awareness, grace, and kindness in every moment.
• Tune Into the Body: Valerie encourages us to "drop in" and connect with our bodies, noticing the physical sensations that accompany our emotions. By focusing on the body, we can gain a deeper understanding of our emotional states beyond the thoughts in our mind.
• Embrace the Full Range of Human Experience: Grief, joy, pain, and love are all part of the human experience. Valerie teaches us that accepting this full range of emotions allows us to heal and grow, honoring every part of ourselves.

By embracing this non-judgmental, embodied self-awareness, we can cultivate a deeper connection with ourselves, fostering healing and personal growth.
