Illuminate Your Essence
Illuminate Your Essence
Wendy Bunnell
The world will try to provide all of the answers and promises to you, but eventually you will find that they will always fall short of filling the void within. When you begin to realize that all the truth is within instead of without you will start to watch the magnificence of life unfold. It is time to Illuminate Your Essence.
The Importance of Learning to Trust the Process in Your Life
I don’t know about you, but when I’m embracing and using my spiritual gifts, my life is better, and I’m just so much more fulfilled. I haven’t always been open to my gifts though, and I’ve done other things that didn’t allow me to make an impact, or serve humanity in the way I knew my soul needed to. If you’ve experienced a similar struggle in your own life, I want to encourage you to trust the process, and discover what is possible for you. In today’s episode, I’m talking about: -My realization of deep gratitude for my life, but also knowing I was very unfulfilled -A personal experience where I attended a live workshop and drew a card that dramatically impacted (and changed) my story -Understanding that we don’t have to have the entire process mapped out for us in order to take the next step -Learning that when we surrender and trust the process, we’re able to positively impact and help others who truly need our help I’ve had quite the journey over the years, and especially the last 6 months since starting my book, and other projects that have unfolded since then. I now understand that it’s okay for me to not have every single thing figured out before I start something; whatever is supposed to happen will simply happen, and I’m not going to fight it. I want to help you shift into a place of openness to be able to share your unique gifts, and trust the process while doing so-I promise, it is worth it!   Download your FREE copy of the 5 ways to discover your inner voice and begin your inner shift with me: https://wendybunnell.com/  I would love to continue this conversation-connect with me over on Instagram!

Why We Don't Have to Stay Stuck in Our Suffering
We tend to avoid sharing our suffering, but the truth is-we ALL have suffering in this world (there’s no getting around that). While we all face plenty of challenges, suffering is a choice; we don’t have to stay stuck there, because we can change our stories. In today’s episode, I’m talking more about: -Understanding how our experiences should flow through us, and really feeling the emotions that happen with those experiences -Learning to become the observer instead of the participant in our stories -My own, real-life example of cleaning up after a dinner party, and the different scenarios that were playing out in my head (choosing to play the victim, ask for help, or just enjoy the process) -Why we create the stories that we do, and how we can learn to dissect and dismantle them We attach a story to everything, and this can easily lead to thoughts of worry and failure creeping in. I don’t want you to stay stuck in your suffering; you truly can transform your life, and begin feeling more joy, peace, and love. Sometimes, we just need some help untangling our stories that have been buried deep; asking for help, and being brave enough to really feel the emotions that come up is a beautiful thing!    Download your FREE copy of the 5 ways to discover your inner voice and begin your inner shift with me: https://wendybunnell.com/  I would love to continue this conversation-connect with me over on Instagram!

Learning to Love and Embrace Your Divine, Feminine Self with Laurel Huston
I had the pleasure of having an incredible woman and my dear friend, Laurel Huston, as my first guest on today’s episode. Laurel has made a huge impact on my own life, and I’ve learned a great deal from her, so I’m excited for you to hear her story, and all of the value she has to share.   Laurel Dawn Huston, aka the Divine Feminine Enchantress, is an award-winning, international keynote speaker. She is the founder of Reflections Inside and Out, and the creator of Body Mapping, a technique used to identify markers on our bodies that signify gifts, abilities, and personality traits. She is innovative, and truly passionate about what she does; she’s been able to help thousands of clients regain trust with their relationships, and live a life that is tuned in, and turned on.   In today’s episode, we’re talking about: -Laurel’s story of finding and becoming herself as the Divine Feminine Enchantress after healing, and learning who her highest self was -The importance of learning to love and accept our bodies, so we will realize that others can love and accept our bodies too -Realizing that we don’t have to “become” something, because we’ve always been worthy, and are enough already -Why we need to be able to receive pleasure (it’s our birthright to be able to have pleasure and joy after all), and not feel like we have to ‘give’ first, in order to receive from others  -Recognizing self-betrayal and how to stop it, and why we need to remember that our head is a clock, and our heart is a compass -Why we need to stop giving away our power, and be open to receiving things (inside and outside of the bedroom)   I absolutely LOVED this conversation with Laurel; we covered so much goodness! She has a special way of helping women embrace their feminine energy, and empower them to live a life filled with meaningful intimacy. I’m grateful that she was able to help me step back into this space in my own life, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts after you hear this episode. I have no doubt you’ll be inspired to step into your divine, feminine, and powerful self too!

How to Build Deep and Full Relationships
Relationships are the things that add the most value to our lives, and they also tend to add the most challenges, don’t you think? I bet you’ve experienced this a time or two (I know I have), but I’m grateful to now have incredibly close and meaningful relationships in my life, and I want you to know it's possible to have the same. In today’s episode, I’m sharing more about: -A personal story of mine dealing with my relationship with my husband, and why I thought I needed him to change -Learning about free agency, and how we can navigate fear, joy, and all of our human emotions -Why we need to give ourselves permission to change, and how it can show others in our lives that they can change too Building deep and full relationships is so important-now, more than ever. I want to encourage you to shift your thoughts, take a step back as you look at your spouse, kids, etc., and just allow them to be. Showing love and being a cheerleader for our loved ones is a role we are meant to be in; I’m excited to hear how your relationships start to thrive and flourish as you begin walking with them.
