Just dropping into your podcast feed a brief announcement for The Women's Day Event: WOMANFEST, a 5-hour live event, held on Zoom, March 10, 2023, in honor of International Women's Day! WOMANFEST is a free event to celebrate the power of women, to elevate and inspire us, for us to gather in Sisterhood and raise our voices and make a difference. And all proceeds from this event are going to support women's reproductive freedoms. In the wake of Roe being overturned, when our freedoms as women are being stripped, this is the time that we are needed the most to be the most fully alive versions of ourselves. When we as women are fully lit up, we light up those around us, and that's what it's going to take to change the world! WOMANFEST will be five hours of empowerment, celebration, inspiration, transformation, dancing, raging, turning our trauma into triumph, and so much more! Plus… All day long I'll be giving out juicy prizes, just for getting your tickets, and you don't have to be live on the call to win! We'll also be making the recordings available to those who buy tickets in advance, in case you can't be there all day. The tickets start at only $20.23, but they'll be going up to $55, $77, and higher, so get your tickets NOW! Join me! Register at: https://carinrockind.com/womanfest

Deep down inside of us, and affecting who we are and the choices we make, is the 5-year old we once were, the 12-year old we used to be… We are every age we've ever been, and sometimes we can see these little girl tendencies in our own actions. But what the world needs now more than ever, and what WE need, is to live as a WOMAN! And so, today's episode is all about shifting from the little girl inside of us to becoming the woman we want to be. Join me as I talk all about: Taking radical self-responsibility to create what you want Speaking up for ourselves from a place of strength How to say NO when you really mean NO What is on the other side of fear and how YOU can get there My new offering, the powerful Year of WOMAN membership!

Honesty time… how do you feel about your Pussy? (Vulva/Yoni/Vagina) Growing up, I was worried that mine looked weird and smelled funky. Sound familiar? I never looked at "her" - except when there was an "issue." Years later, I started my own sexual and sensual empowerment. I began developing a much healthier and more positive relationship with my Pussy. I fell in love with her, and this has changed EVERYTHING! I feel more free in bed, I feel more beautiful, more ALIVE. I'm more connected to my desires and turn on and have a magnetic magical ability to attract what I want. Every WOMAN needs this to be in her POWER. My guest, Khadoma Colomby, a feminine embodiment mentor, writer and artist and I dive into it in today's episode. Khadoma and I talk about: Why we need a relationship with Pussy Why so many women are distant from their own bodies - and what to do about it What happens when you're disconnected from your own Pussy Healing women through The Pussy Project My own Pussy story and pain - I share things I never have publicly! Her Pussy Portraits and the profoundly deep work she does with women to prep for them (you know you're curious!) Rewriting the story of our body and reclaiming our own power What it means to be "vulvalicious!" This is a real, raw, explicit, juicy, and super-important episode, and you do NOT want to miss it!

She guides women home to discover who they are underneath all the supposed to's and should be's, and supports them to come back to their body and reclaim their sensual, wild, alive nature. Her work dives into the Womb Space, and deeper still into the Pussy, as a place of our power and possibility as woman. We're changing the world one woman at a time.

I recently sent a survey to my newsletter list because I wanted to better understand what struggles and challenges women in this community are dealing with, so I can better help. In today's episode I'm posing those questions to you and then sharing the general trends that I found popping up again and again in the responses. But I'm not just sharing struggles – I'm also proposing a solution, and it all comes down to living in wholeness. So, today I'm talking about: What it means to live in your wholeness What obstacles we often face when trying to live as our whole selves How we can overcome these obstacles Why you NEED to live in your wholeness My solution to ALL of this! And I take you through a powerful guided meditation and several activities that I did with a recent Visioning Masterclass that will help you get clear on where you are now and who you want to be by the end of this year.

Many of us have regular meditation practices or gratitude practices. I do, and they're such an important part of my being present, and my living grounded and with appreciation for what I have. However, how many of us have a courage practice? I'm guessing very few, but in today's episode my guest is going to teach us all about the value of courage and leading a courageous life, how we can all live more courageously, and why it can be so transformative for us and for those around us. I am honored and excited to bring to you my dear friend and colleague, Scott Simon, author of Scare Your Soul. In today's episode, Scott talks about: How he was bullied growing up, the shame he felt around it, and how it led to him living a "small" life for years How his years of living small led him to be a champion for others in helping them live a courageous life Why we should learn to dance with our fear instead of trying to obliterate it The meaning behind the title, "Scare Your Soul" How the Scare Your Soul community is changing lives and changing the world Practical suggestions for taking small courageous actions The importance of fostering a courage practice To learn more about Scott, his movement, and his new book: www.scareyoursoul.com www.scareyoursoul.com/book About Scott Simon Scott Simon is a happiness entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Scare Your Soul, a movement inspiring individual and global change through small acts of courage.

At the end of every year, I always spend time going through a particular ritual that helps me celebrate what was really good in the past year, look back at what I learned, and ask myself what do I want to carry forward? Doing this ritual helps me look at what I want in the coming year. I want to share this ritual with all of you so you can reflect on 2022 and look at what you want for 2023. Before I get to this very powerful ritual, I talk about: Taking time to pause and enjoy the moments in life. This helps you to create more of that in the future. Why it is so important to have closure for the things you don't want to carry with you into the new year. When you really suck the marrow out of the good that happened in the past year, it creates the building blocks for the next year. Thanks for listening, love! Let's change the world.

Leadership in the feminine is desperately needed, now more than ever. With the chaos engulfing our world in so many ways, we need more women rising in their power and leading from the feminine, instead of the toxic masculinity that is far too common in positions of power. In today's episode I'm talking about what it means to be a priestess, and I'm publicly announcing a new program in which I'm bringing together years of my own training and work with ancient feminine wisdom: PRIESTESS. A PRIESTESS is here to raise the vibration of the planet. Living at such a high frequency of ecstasy – joy, love, peace, fire, freedom – a PRIESTESS leads with her radiance. She remembers the ancient wisdom within to embody her full power. PRIESTESS is a journey to the deeply divine, mystical, spiritual truth. To the underworld, the dark magic, and the light. To your sacred work in the world. To your authentic, beautiful, wise, compassionate, passionate, self. To your divinity. Your unique magic and skills. PRIESTESS is not a program… It's an initiation. A remembrance. A calling. A one-year journey to your highest self. PRIESTESS is not for everyone, but if you think it might be for you, email my team (team@purposegirl.com) ASAP and let's set up a quick time to chat, because we start soon!

Here in the United States we have an obsession with exercise, at the same time that we have an obesity epidemic. People are often judged based on whether or not, and how much, they exercise. And yet, there are systems and structures in place that make it difficult for so many people to incorporate regular exercise into their lives. My guest today, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, has a new book out that takes a look at this issue and makes recommendations for what we can do to make positive changes in our society that will improve our overall health and life satisfaction.
