8 | Cultivating Worthiness with Nicole Jardim

Nicole and I met a few years ago when I first offered my online immersion, Reversing Our "Curse." We are both devoted to helping women heal and live in harmony with their menstrual cycles, seeing our periods as important barometers for the state of our souls. In today's SHE Story, Nicole opens up about how disoriented and tender she feels, now at the tail-end of a 5-year relationship. She shares how challenges with her mother during childhood urged her to devote her life to empowering women, how she overcame a constant feeling of unworthiness, and her favorite tools for coming back to her "spiritual center" in the midst of uncomfortable times. Nicole Jardim is a Young Women’s Hormonal Health Coach who runs a successful 1-on-1 and group coaching business and has helped thousands of women from all around the world who are struggling with PCOS, infertility, amenorrhea, PMS and much more. Rather than treating problems or symptoms, Nicole treats women by addressing the root cause of what’s really going on in their bodies and minds. She passionately believes that the fundamentals to healing any hormonal imbalance lie in an approach that addresses the unique physiology of every woman.

6 | The Dance of Trusting Yourself with Rochelle Schieck

I met Rochelle at a Qoya (dance) class that she lead during her visit to Boulder last spring. Her sensual, fierce vibrancy touched me deeply, and I invited her here to share her embodied wisdom with us. Rochelle recounts the tale of her own Heroine's Journey, and what it's been like for her to "go against the grain" in order to follow her heart and create her life's work. She speaks of opening to the power of "Mother energy" (even when one doesn't choose to birth children), the importance of getting into one's body, and a hard lesson she learned that led her to finally trust herself. In closing, Rochelle gives succinct instruction for how to reach out for divine guidance. Join us to celebrate the full spectrum of our womanhood and allow Rochelle's story to inspire you to follow your own precious heart.

4 | Money, Grief, and Being a Father's Daughter with Bari Tessler Linden

Bari is one of my closest girlfriends. It then comes as no surprise that we had a really deep interview, where Bari opened up about stories she had never shared before. She talks a little bit about her work, The Art of Money, but she mostly shares tender, personal stories. We explore the "Father's-Daughter Archetype," a concept I write about in The Book of SHE, and how Bari had to rebel against her father's "way" in order to find her own inner compass. We also explore the grief process, and some recent money riddles that it took her decades to solve. Grab a cup of tea, nibble on some dark chocolate (Bari's favorite), and settle in with us for this rich, sisterly conversation.
