There is Always Work to Do
Coming off the glorious public announcement from Episode 57, it's time to get deep again. What aisle the impact of your intentions, and the depth of your work as a human being? In a world where rights are reserved for specific groups, what part do we all play in this system staying intact? This episode explores all of that and more, and how that affects our own energy and healing. And yes, my fellow White folx, this episode is for you. 馃憠 Follow, support me, and send Deepened Roots Podcast a message at https://anchor.fm/deepened-roots Music credit: Jatovi McDuffie --- This episode is sponsored by 路 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/deepened-roots/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/deepened-roots/support

Healing Session #1
I'm excited to say this episode is the first of its kind, on Deepened Roots Podcast!  Today, you'll be witnessing a session in real-time, as I do a healing on myself. Keep in mind this is different from healing with other people, but the process is still the same.  Emotions we'll be releasing?  Hopelessness, depression, indecisiveness, humiliation, unworthy. Stay for a while, as we ground, identify, feel, release, and re-ground together.  Ready to release the emotions trapped within you? You can book your first session with me by visiting deepenedroots.co/work-with-me.

Healing My Teenage Trans Self
Whether you're Cis-gender or Trans-gender, chances are, you have a strong reaction to the word "Transgender".   This episode unpacks why that may be, and how that impacts how we initially identify ourselves.  We're also going to unpack moving through a world created by Cis-gender folks, and how essential it is that all of us regardless of gender take time to explore how the Cis-gender Binary has impacted our own lives.   Which, brings me to the episode's title - healing our teenage selves.   ***** 馃尡 My name is Kara Oelker (they/them). I am a Certified Health + Life Coach, Certified EFT+TFT Practitioner, and the Founder of Deepened Roots. 馃尡 I help people uproot inherited mindsets that keep them from their personal power. By clearing away what does not serve us, we uncover who we've been all along. 馃尡 Ready to reconnect with yourself?  Schedule a quick chat and visit me at deepenedroots.co to take a look at how we can make this happen TOGETHER. ***** Music credits: Jatovie McDuffie --- This episode is sponsored by 路 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/deepened-roots/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/deepened-roots/support

Coming Out of Hiding
Coming out of hiding is brutal.  There are times when we absolutely need to hide to survive - emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, systemically, and all of the above.  And then it becomes dangerous for you to remain in hiding.   This podcast is for those who are at that point in their lives.  Let's talk about it, together. 馃尡 My name is Kara Oelker (they/them).

Watch Your Language
"Normalizing language as communicating your thoughts how they are is life-changing, and so very much needed, in this world, period.  It's the difference between living your life and ceasing to exist in it.  Setting boundaries, and not making boundaries clear.  Depreciation and appreciation.  Knowing this for yourself is your power that no one can rip from your mind. So watch your language, please.  Watch it flourish and center yourself in love, and grow outwards into love for others. Watch your language effectively communicate what you think, feel, and need. And watch your language normalize conversation around what others choose to ignore, that creates imbalance.  So that we can dismantle the systems around generations and civilizations being weaponized by this very language. Be your own secret weapon against the weaponization of language..." *********************************************************************************************************************************************** My name is Kara Oelker, my pronouns are they/she, and I'm a life coach who helps intuitives uproot their inherited mindsets so they can uncover their personal power.  I'm also the Founder of Deepened Roots.
