Becoming Who I Needed

It's been one year since I released an episode, and while so much has transpired in my own personal life, I decided to take advantage of having the amazing Tonya in town to dust off the podcast mics and do what we do best...chat.

Since last September Establishing Her, a program which Tonya so courageously and beautifully created, has been one of the biggest pillars in helping me move through some of the most difficult shifts in life this past year. We discuss the importance of not only understanding what it is to be cyclical women, but how to embrace it as well.

This story has been long overdue, and I was hesitant to share it for so many reasons. In this episode I get very personal about my past and how it brought me to where I am today. As difficult as it was to share, so much so that I must've tried recording it several times for the past couple months, I knew that my story is not uncommon and that someone can benefit in some way from hearing about my experiences. Whether it be all the lessons that I've learned or just one or two that you take away from this episode, I hope you're left encouraged to speak your truth and not be afraid to show up as anyone other than your true authentic self.

Information on this episode may trigger some, and if it does, I hope that you can keep your mind and your heart open and take this as an opportunity to think about why it does. 

If you'd like to speak further, I'm always happy to keep the conversation going

This is such a potent and important conversation where Davina shares her story about her experience with sexual abuse as a child. She courageously shares how she felt in the moments of her abuse and how she is still learning to heal the parts of her that weren't nurtured and cared for when she needed it the most. I am in awe of how powerful Davina is and how she can create triumph from trauma, helping other women heal through a beautiful supportive journaling group, where she provides the opportunity for others to share their stories, be seen and held. 

If you are a parent, or thinking of becoming a parent, then I highly recommend this episode and listening to how Davina is dedicated to not only living a life without shame for the traumas she ensued, but how it has set the foundation of how she raises her 2 beautiful children with love and acceptance, teaching them the importance of a healthy relationship with their bodies.

Brooke and I discuss the importance of our health and how we've learned to value our bodies more especially when it comes to our sexual partners. I love how fun and easy it is to chat with Brooke about health and wellness. She's so knowledgeable and makes learning about health enjoyable.
