Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine

People often ask what the personal Mission Statement is for your life. Which is an awesome exercise to do. Yet I particularly like the concept that this week's guest asks, What is your Soul Statement? Corey Lyon Folsom published his book, Soul Statements: A Love Coach’s Guide To Successful Communication in an effort to inspire others to simplify and improve their lives. His book is a practical guide full of simple, yet potent tools for making small shifts that produce outsized benefits in life and love. So what is a Soul Statement? It is not an ordinary affirmation. Rather, it is a present-time reminder of what is true & good & resourceful about yourself, which creates greater emotional coherence. Fabulous concept right?On this guest episode I have a delightful time exploring many beautiful concepts with Corey including why he wrote his book and how Soul Statements can improve inner clarity and communication. Corey also talks a lot about how Soul Statements can help with relationships to shift from conflict to harmony and flow and make us more empathic partners, co-workers and friends. They also improve self care and help align routines with our visions and goals. Is there anything Soul Statements cant do?? With a name like that I would say, no! In addition, Corey shares about his work as a relationship coach and how he helps clients create a path to having the love they desire.Bio: As a certified relationship coach, Corey Lyon Folsom helps people increase connection and clarity. He has also been a wilderness guide for newly sober people and a vision quest leader. During a spiritual soul-awakening in 2009 Corey experienced the pure joy that is availablewhen one is deeply aligned with Spirit. He then embarked on a development journey with Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Source School of Tantra Yoga, Love Coach Academy, Tony Robbins and other programs. Each of these experiences enhanced Corey’s access to his inner resources and compassion. Corey’s award-winning book, Soul Statements: A Love Coach’s Guide To Successful Communication, is a practical guide full of simple, yet potent tools for making small shifts that produce outsized benefits in life and love. He enjoys daily movement and makes time for stillness. Corey is the father of two adult sons and is very proud of his 10 year-old grandson.Social media links:https://www.facebook.com/coreFhttps://www.instagram.com/coreylyonfolsom/https://www.pinterest.com/lovecoachcorey/

“Something inside me has broken, and I cannot seem to stop the Waters of my Love Song.” These are the words of my beautiful guest this week, Dr. Loddie Foose, eloquently expressing her experience of the creative process. Dr. Loddie is a poet and storyteller whose work bridges imagination, inner healing, and grounded leadership. She is the creator of Soul Riders: Storybooks for Your Inner Child, a first-of-its-kind illustrated fiction series designed to invite adult readers into transformative self-discovery through narrative and reflective exploration. On this week's guest episode Loddie and I have a delightful time giggling and enjoying a beautiful conversation around the power of transforming trauma and pain into words of joy and inspiration. Loddie speaks on how story can be a healing tool; why narrative, metaphor, and imagination provide a safe, embodied pathway to inner truth and integration—especially for adults. She also shares her means of reconnecting with the inner child. How restoring and healing connection to our inner child rebuilds self-trust, emotional resilience, and a felt sense of permission to live and lead authentically. And of course I loved discussing using inner healing to gain outer leadership. How inner reconnection translates into women advocating for themselves, setting boundaries, and claiming their worth in the world.Bio:Alongside her soul-inspired writing journey, Dr. Loddie Foose continues her work as a global leader in strategy and business, blending strategic insight with rigorous analytical training (PhD and postdoctoral studies in chemical engineering) and a deep commitment to human flourishing. She is founder of DocDocFoose Business Consulting and Know Your Worth, a leadership development platform for women, and serves as President of The Imagine Fund, a nonprofit advancing equity in gender, health, education, and food access.Links:https://www.docdocfoose.com/companieshttps://www.know-your-worth.net/https://www.know-your-worth.net/imagine-fund

Our intuition and energy are speaking to us all the time, it's just a matter of whether or not we listen. My guest this week, Dr. Kelly Edmonds, has built her work around assisting others to be able to hear in the silence. Dr. Kelly is a spiritual guide and healer who walks the path of awakening alongside those seeking to remember their Soul’s sacred wisdom. For as long she can remember, Dr. Kelly has been listening to the unseen, to the body, to ancestry, and to the subtle ways life speaks through us. Over the years, through her own experience and in working with others, she began to see how often spiritual awakening leaves people feeling expanded, yet not fully at home in themselves. This was her experience, too, and her lifelong search for coherence. On this guest episode, Dr. Kelly shares how she wrote The Embodied Mystic as an invitation to come home to the body, to the deeper layers of self, and to a spirituality that can be lived gently and honestly. Her book reflects her belief that being fully human is not separate from spiritual evolution, it is the path itself. Kelly explains why your intuition isn’t missing, it's just buried under noise, how energy speaks through the body (and how to listen), re-enchanting practice without chasing new techniques, discovering your inner magic and the power it unlocksBIO: Dr. Kelly Edmonds brings three decades of grounded work helping committed seekers move beyond surface spirituality into embodied transformation. Rooted in spirit connection, intuitive energy work and ancient mysteries, Kelly facilitates deep transformation—clearing old energy blocks, ancestral patterns and unveiling the magic within. She doesn’t teach more techniques, she facilitates remembering and activation at the deepest level.Learn more about Kelly and her work here: https://www.kellyedmonds.com/embodied-mystic
