her Self: IFS & Spiritual Entrepreneurship

Sisters: We’re about to cross a big threshold together. Today I’m sharing the most important story I’ve ever told. As you read it, you have complete freedom to think and feel anything. Whatever experience you have, own it. The only thing in life that we can ever fully trust is our own experience. The world is changing. Women are changing. We’re changing. I’m changing. What’s called for now is a whole new era of womanhood and women’s leadership. An era where each of us lives in full integrity with her inner authority– her SHE. An era where each of us values her own truth above the opinions and reactions of others. An era where we’re all free to be fully ourselves, together. The world needs our courage. Our truth. Our audacity. Our love. And, most of all, our willingness to stand for something larger than ourselves.

Welcome to the final episode of our summer season. Confession: Sometimes reading or listening to my own teachings lifts my spirits. This was true with today’s talk. Being human can be hard. This world can be harsh. But the challenges we face are never random. They’re here to help us uncap latent strengths within us. The more we face, the stronger we become. To keep having the courage to say “yes” to life’s challenges-- and stay sane and true to ourselves along the way-- we need all the inspiration and support we can find. I won’t give too much of a lead-in to today’s talk, other than I’m pretty sure it will lift your spirits, as it did mine. I gave today’s SHE Talk on the final morning of the last SHE Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training in Thailand. In it, I share: * How to give every woman (all those spirits and bodies who identify themselves as female and/or woman) a seat at the table * What’s missing from women’s yoga, meditation, & spiritual leadership * Ways to make sense of our deepest, most painful soul wounds * Where to look for your path and purpose when you feel lost and filled with doubt * Why it’s good to be a heretic * The secret power of your heart If you’ve enjoyed the teachings shared in this summer season, please consider joining me for my upcoming SHE Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training (December 1-8 in Tulum, Mexico). At this unconventional gathering, I’ll share the under-the-hood techniques and principles I’ve used in my own yoga & meditation for two decades — and taught to thousands of women, worldwide. Whether you’re aching to support other women, need a retreat, or just hungry deepen your own practice, you’ll find the feminine heart of yoga and meditation there. And, yes: we’ll have plenty of beach-time, too! www.SHEYogaTraining.comMentioned in this episode:her Self CEO Early Reg Dynamic Adher Self CEO Early Reg Dynamic Ad

When we hit rocky roads– inner and outer– is when we’re mostly going to want to lean on the advice of “experts.” But, as I recently heard a wise person say, “Advice is the devil.” And I would have to agree. Leadership comes from taking refuge in your inner wisdom. It asks us to source guidance from ourselves, and then to trust the path we’re shown. Unfortunately, this approach is the exact opposite of the one we’ve been encouraged to follow our whole lives. In today’s SHE Talk, the third in our Poolside Sutras series, I explore this in more depth. (This talk was recorded mid-way through the last SHE Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training in Thailand). In it, I speak about: * How to stop worrying about what other people think * The yogic breathing exercise that Brené Brown uses with her family to calm anxiety and overwhelm * How to get over our fear of failure * Breaking our addiction to stress * The most important quality for feminine leadership (rarely seen on social media) * And more Sisters: A daily practice that attunes you to your inner wisdom is the only way to stop desperately trying to please others and start learning to honor yourself. Life doesn’t teach us this! But, even as adults, it’s never too late to learn this crucial lesson. Doing so is worth it because it’s the only path to what we all want–freedom and unconditional happiness. If you love these Sutras, please consider joining me for my upcoming SHE Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training, now open for registration.

Enough of us are waking up now that we’re starting to see the widespread erasure of undomesticated women from religion, myth, and positions of power. As the lies that we’ve been taught to live crumble, we don’t have historical references to look to to remind us of who we once were. The only place we can look is in our own hearts and bodies. Buried deep in our subconscious, the seats of souls, lives the memories of who we truly are. In today’s Poolside Sutra, I explore this in more depth. Today’s talk is an excerpt from a Q & A session I held mid-way through the recent SHE Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training in Thailand. In it, we will explore: * How to live from a multi-sensory place * My favorite bedtime ritual for clearing energy * Creative ways women can meditate * The flavor of the feminine that’s being birthed through all of us right now * Using your intuition to grow your business * The number one thing that holds us all back * And more. Sleeping Beauty’s spell lives even in the yoga & meditation world. Yes, the Patriarchy also dominates our spiritual lives! What makes you a woman isn’t a nuisance to override through your practice. We need to learn how to reunite with our sensual, body-based wisdom. And, to make this a lifelong endeavor, we deserve practices that we enjoy returning to, day after day. This approach of “unlearning” is what I advocate in our SHE Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training. The next training will take place in Tulum, Mexico from December 1-8, 2018. At the end of this training, each woman will leave with a renewed trust in her inner, spiritual authority– and with all the tools she needs to help the women in her community to do the same.

So many are touting the benefits of sleep these days (hallelujah!), so today I’m going to focus on sleep’s less-talked-about sister– silence. Silence is hard to come by these days. From lawn mowers to garbage trucks, traffic to TVs, we’re constantly being bombarded by... noise. This is one of many the reasons why I offer an annual silent retreat. For seven days, women can undertake a sacred pilgrimage– away from the stresses of their daily lives, to a beautiful place in nature, and into themselves. To give you a taste of these retreats, over the next few weeks I’m publishing some of the talks I gave at a recent one in our annual, summertime podcast series,“Poolside Sutras.” Poolside Sutras are intimate, deep teachings — but, since it’s summer (at least here in Colorado!), they’re meant to be enjoyed on-the-go: on your hikes, chilling poolside or at the beach, or to keep you company during that road trip. The first episode in this series is a talk I gave on the third morning of the silent retreat in Thailand this past February. A little context: we observe silence days on 3-5 (with periods of silence in the mornings and evenings of other days). Listen in to learn: * What powerful, feminine leadership requires * About my surprise date with Barack Obama ;) * How to write the ultimate script for your life, rooting out belittling, unconscious beliefs * Ways to embrace the lost art of “crazy wisdom” to catapult your growth and healing I believe that retreats like these are one of the very best gifts we can give ourselves. This is why I’ve been offering them annually for the past fifteen years. This is why I invest in them for myself year after year. I invite you to join me for our next gathering, The SHE Yoga & Meditation Teacher Training in Tulum, Mexico from December 1-8, 2018. This is both for women who want to teach and those who simply need a retreat.

I wanted to share the audio from a talk I gave at the end of March here in Boulder at an event called “The Truthteller Tour,” hosted by Kelly McNelis, founder of Women for One.This is the first public talk I’ve given since The Book of SHE came out... two-and-a-half years ago! So, yeah. This was a big step for me. I’m still in the wobbly space between death and rebirth, so, rather than muscling myself into a faux confidence, I gave myself permission to show up in my full rawness. To do this, I spoke about “How to Gracefully Navigate the Unknown.” Women are still contacting me, telling me how touched and inspired they were by what I shared. I hope this talk moves something in you, too.

Welcome to the 5th and final episode in the mini-series, “Disrupting the Divine Feminine.” Whether it’s a health problem, relationship stress, the fear that the goodness you’re experiencing will fade, or simply a question mark about your next steps, we all live with varying degrees of uncertainty. It’s inescapable. Even though we like to think that our surroundings are fixed and stable, the truth is, we don’t know if we’ll be here this time next year, much less tomorrow. Rather than spiralling down into anxiety and worry over life’s unknowns, how can you instead use uncertainty and unexpected obstacles as opportunities to be the deliberate creator of your dreams? In today’s SHE Talk we’re exploring: - How outdated principles of Newtonian physics are keeping us boxed inside exhaustion, adrenal fatigue, thinking/playing small, and cycles of repeating our past - Why quantum physics can help us feel more alive, free, and in touch with the truth of limitless possibility that always surrounds us - Ways to adapt your spiritual practice each day to move from victim to victor, sufferer to creator - How to turn your fear of uncertainty into empowered anticipation and bold action I’m saving the best episode for last, because this is the missing ingredient in our world...and your life! I’ll share the tools and practices needed to cultivate a strong, inner vision in The SHE School & SHE Leadership Circle 2018. Both of these personal development and business mastermind sisterhoods promise to to connect you to your feminine spiritual power (your SHE) so you can birth a life you love and live it powerfully. Through integrating women’s yoga, meditation, spirituality, leadership, lifestyle, and more, The SHE School will empower you to (finally!) trust yourself and become the expert on your own life. With cutting-edge monthly teachings from Sara, group mentoring calls, SHE Yoga & Meditation videos, online community, guest teachers, and resources galore….. You’ll receive the fierce and loving support you need to step out of the world of “same-old, same-old” to design the destiny of dreams.

Welcome to episode 4 in our mini-series: Disrupting the Divine Feminine. Our intuition was educated out of us when we were very young. Our parents told us to listen to them rather than to how we felt. Now we look to Google for advice instead of into our own hearts and minds, and we’re paying a big price. Isn’t it time you get the education in self-trust that you never got? In today’s SHE Talk, I share: -Why you need to stop asking for (and giving) advice -How we’ve become a culture that’s addicted to experts -What steps you can take to restore trust in your own inner knowing -The key to business success that no one’s teaching -What a real, wild woman looks like in 2018...and how you, too, can be that free In the SHE School & SHE Leadership Circle 2018, you’ll get the mentoring, practices, and sisterhood you need to learn to trust & life from your inner wisdom. Become a woman who lives her truth and feels alive, joyful, and free. Our 9-month journey begins on February 1.

Welcome to episode 3 in our mini-series on Disrupting the Divine Feminine. And today we’re going deeper. Externally, do you look successful and put together; but, inside, you feel like you’re really hiding. Do you feel that, deep down, you don’t want others to really see you; and, most of all, you don’t really want to see yourself? You have the whole setup: the color-coded chakra candles, the crystals by your bed, the goddess cards, the recycled yoga mat. Oh! And let’s not forget– Mercury Retrogrades mapped out in your planner through the rest of the year. You’ve changed your external environment to be more harmonious and “Zen,” but, inside, ​do you​ really ​feel more whole​? In today’s SHE Talk, I discuss: - How spiritual fads are making us overly superstitious (and are yet another form of hiding behind masks) - Why the practice of subtracting (rather than adding more rituals, more stuff) holds the key to peace-of-mind and personal power - How moon cycles, periods, astrology, etc. have become more ways that we give our power away - The ritual that will reveal the freedom and connection you’re really seeking (if you actually do it) I warned you that I’m not pulling punches anymore! The talks in this series are a small taste of what I’ll be teaching in The SHE School & SHE Leadership Circle 2018: A 9-Month Spiritual Leadership & Lifestyle Immersion.

Welcome to the second episode in our mini-series on “Disrupting the Divine Feminine.” In the wake of Harvey Weinstein (et al), I know it’s not fashionable for me to say this. But I love you, so I have to. For us women, becoming unstoppable in life takes being more like a man. If you have the liberty to be reading these words right now, then the biggest thing holding you back is not outside of you. It’s not your boss, your bank account, your childhood, your lover, your kids. It’s you. YOU are what’s holding you back. YOU-- and specifically your own thoughts and feelings--are what keep getting in your way. Now that we’re being honest with ourselves, wouldn’t it be wise to cultivate the tools to STOP doing this? Wouldn’t it be wise to learn to be bigger than your thoughts? Bigger than your feelings? Greater than the sensations in your body and circumstances in your life? In today’s SHE Talk, I share: - How Martin Luther King Jr. (whom we’re honoring here in the U.S. today) exemplifies key qualities of the Divine Masculine for us to emulate - Why you need to get clear on the differences between the “shadow” masculine (ahem- the patriarchy!) and the Divine Masculine within yourself - What the greatest women in history all have in common (it’s not what you think) - Ways that you can start training to become unstoppable in your life...today The episodes in this “Disrupting the Divine Feminine” podcast series are just a small taste of a much larger dose of truth I’m offering this year in my signature, 9-month spiritual leadership & lifestyle immersion, The SHE School.
