In this episode, I am honoured to have my mentor, teacher, and nurturing mother-figure, Rachel Gallon. Rachel has guided me through much of my healing journey, playing a pivotal role in my education, and transition from knowledge to embodied wisdom. In this episode, we introduce you to, and speak in detail about the four stages of womanhood - Maiden, Mother, Maga, Crone. Below is a poem Rachel has written about the first three stages… Maiden You dance through life on the lightest of feet The feathers swirl around you And the sweetness of the air embraces you. From being held to being free The maiden sings her song Of wonder and delight Mother Your arms now full And your step steady The dance slows As the space for you contracts Yet your heart fuller than ever A capacity for love so great It takes your breath away Now the mother holding Giving And nourishing Sings her song of love Maga You begin to dance once more With a lilt that displays grace And with an air of magic and magnificence Aware now of the great power And force within you Holding space And hands And hearts With fullness like that which was once in your own belly And you sing your song And it is yours to sing About Rachel: As a therapist my mission is to guide and encourage women to make peace within, to know how and why self-nourishment is vital and to re-imagine a loving relationship with the True Self. Drawing from my background in Professional Kinesiology Practice and other metaphysical modalities, I offer my clients potent awareness, as well as motivation to commit to change, to evolve and to travel this earthly world widely awakened, nourished and loved. Through the building of meaningful connection with clients they can expect to be involved, inspired, and stimulated creatively meaning that what I offer is an interactive review and appraisal of information that they give, to re-frame the narrative, shift perspective, balance energy and restore clarity.   Healing - becoming whole - comes from the felt experience of shifting what is old, cumbersome and no longer serves.  Information may be verbally communicated or given and interpreted by me via bio-feedback from muscle testing, metaphysical understanding from physical and emotional indications as well as from intuitive guidance. I have an established international business with a foundation in Professional Kinesiology Practice with over 20 years experience of working with clients 1:1 both in person and online, teaching small classes and running women only retreats. I trained in Melbourne, Australia with the leading ICPKP college, and hold the qualification of Kinesiopractor®, and am a member of ICPKP Faculty qualified to teach the foundation course in kinesiology.  I am also a trained Celebrant using ceremony to honour and celebrate all meaningful stages of life. I relocated back to her native UK in February 2022 after 20 years living in Australia and is delighted to now call South Somerset home.  I have two amazing adult daughters, a husband of 38 years and will soon welcome a cocker spaniel puppy to the household.

In this wonderful episode, I speak to the incredible Jodie Atkinson, Grief Recovery Specialist who dives deep into the Multi-Faceted nature of Grief. What an episode. Listen in as Jodie Atkinson and I talk all things grief.  This woman is doing amazing work in the world. Here’s some places you may want to tune in: 3.20 - What led Jodie to working with grief? 9.10 - Other types of grief that exist 14.30 - Unresolved grief 16.30 - Understanding grief’s external appearance 20.32 - Channeling grief into creative pursuits 24.43 - Grief - a comfortable bedfellow, “friend”, or something else? 28.45 - Putting boundaries around your grief 30.35 - How does Craig show up for Jodie? 41.45 - What’s next for Jodie? 47.14 - Grief in the workplace About Jodie: Jodie Atkinson is an accomplished individual with a range of expertise. She is a Certified Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist®, Speaker, Author, and Entertainer. Her debut book, "Have You Met My Grief?", not only serves as a written work but has also been transformed into an Award-winning Cabaret show that premiered at the 2023 Adelaide Cabaret Fringe Festival. Since 1991, Jodie has found her home in Adelaide, where she has nurtured and raised her family. Following a profound personal loss, she became acutely aware of her own lack of preparedness to handle grief. She felt this was largely due to society's reluctance to openly discuss the topic of grief. Driven by a deep passion to help others dealing with grief, Jodie wrote a book on the subject. She also pursued certification in the very program that had aided her in navigating her own loss, all with the intention of extending that assistance to others.  Jodie actively engages in writing and presenting to offer support to those struggling with grief, as well as their families, friends and colleagues. She takes part in speaking engagements for various community groups and takes the lead in orchestrating programs and workshops tailored for both individuals and groups, addressing a wide spectrum of losses. With her wealth of knowledge and personal experience, Jodie uses a wide range of platforms to establish a safe space where the emotions, thoughts, and behaviours accompanying loss are destigmatized. Her primary goal is to promote awareness that healing and recovery from significant loss are not only attainable but also facilitated by proactive steps taken together with time, in conjunction with a supportive community. https://www.facebook.com/JodieAtkinsonGriefRecoverySpecialist https://www.facebook.com/jodieatkinsonauthor www.jodie-atkinson.com.au https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodie-atkinson-503664ba/ https://instagram.com/jodie_atkinson?igshid=NzZlODBkYWE4Ng== To help support me in creating more content like this, please Buy Me a Coffee - buymeacoffee.com/amandakate  Connect with me at the following: www.amandakate.com.au www.instagram.com/amandakateselfmastery www.linkedin.com/in/amandakateselfmastery www.tiktok.com/@amandakateselfmastery www.facebook.com/amandakateselfmastery https://www.facebook.com/groups/divinemessyhuman https://www.youtube.com/@amandakateselfmastery Email me any topics you’d love me to chat about or deep dive into: [email protected] Music by Denys Kyshchuk from Pixabay Thank you to Podmatch for the great community of Podcast guests and hosts!
