We have all experienced trauma, but the way that we talk about it (and the way we don't talk about it!!) needs to change. The thing about trauma that we don't talk about enough, is our response to it. When we haven't yet healed from the woundedness, we are triggered into wounded energy. When we have done the work to heal, we are activated into moving through it. Join us as we discuss how trauma is different for everyone, why your trauma, what you experience, and how you feel about it is all valid, and what it means to be triggered or activated by your trauma.Enjoy this episode?

In today's conversation with Yarnie A. Darling, host of the podcast Yarn's Tales, we discuss emotions! Yarnie is a fantastic storyteller, and someone who is super conscious about raising emotionally intelligent children, and finding that harmony that comes from being able to identify, connect with, and honour our emotions as they come up. We dive into societal conditioning and gender bias, generational shifts in emotional intelligence, and how we can make change around emotional intelligence in ourselves and our children. You won't want to miss this conversation!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABOUT YARNIE: Hello! My name is Yarnie A. Darling. I am a Mother of 2, my son who is 6 and my daughter who is 16 months are everything to me! I am a high school Health, Anatomy and Bio teacher that is raising her children right now and so I have created Yarn's Tales. Life is hard, life is rough, I have been knocked around quite a bit and I have found the better I understand my emotions, how to express and regulate them, the better I feel while in the rough patch. Understanding Emotions IS KEY, so with that being said. I write children stories and tell my stories, while my son draws the cover art and my sweet baby girl runs in the back ground. I write my stories in hope to bring emotional awareness and connection to families (PARENTS) and children. My son has Muscular Dystrophy and his disability will take many things from him, but I KNOW, if my son understands and knows his emotions he will be able to process that loss in such a healthy and empowering way. Understanding his emotions will give my son so much ability, If my son can break emotions down, understand them and express them in his own unique way I believe he will gain an understanding of himself that is powerful, empathic, and unreal. It will ultimately change his life. My GOAL is to teach my littles to understand why we feel, what causes emotions, and how we feel and express them. That is ALL about my business (podcast) and my biggest passion. CONNECT WITH YARNIE:  Instagram - www.instagram.com/yarns.tales Podcast - https://yarnstales.buzzsprout.com

For centuries, society has prized "doing" over "being" and it's time to understand that there is fluidity to our energies and we don't have to be "doing" all the time.But how can we bring "being" forward and reconnect with joy and ease? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you enjoyed this conversation, you're going to love our upcoming free workshop series, Awaken Your Goddess Mindset.

What would it take for you to dream the biggest dream possible for yourself, then leap and trust that the universe will support you making it happen?That's exactly the question we seek an answer to in this conversation with Tanya Hackney, award winning author of Leaving the Safe Harbor: the Risks and Rewards of Raising a Family on a Boat, a memoir about her life as a married mom of five living aboard a catamaran, travelling the world.

"We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with" - Jim RohnWhen you start to reflect on who you spend time with, is that true for you? What I've realised over time is I have to be much more conscious about who I spend my time with and spend more time with those people who support where I am on my journey. Join us as we discuss the challenges that come up with that, the benefits of doing so, and why relationships are so important to how we show up in the world.

Welcome to our first ever guest episode! To start us off on the absolute best foot possible, we sat down with a phenomenal woman - a truth speaker, a wounded healer, and a courageous and bold modern wise woman - Candice Smiley, of Create the Ripple Podcast, to talk about living in authenticity, sharing your truth with courage and confidence, and being the change you wish to see in the world.  For those of you ready to dive deeper into a healing journey that leads to truth and authenticity, this episode is for you!TRIGGER WARNING - We discuss sexual assault, mental health, and domestic violence in this episode, so if that content isn't for you, please exercise your discretion with this episode.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Candice Smiley: Candice is a self proclaimed master manifestor and personal development junkie who loves to engage in interesting conversations with other influencers and entrepreneurs. Her favourite conversations are the ones that take courage to engage in. (Check out her podcast, Create the Ripple Podcast wherever you stream your podcasts for more of that!) She spends her time living - in a tiny home (250 sq ft), traveling with her daughter - speaking - on her podcast and on stages, and sharing candidly with other women how to find love after betrayal, to trust themselves, to speak up for themselves and set powerful boundaries. After a narcissistic and abusive romantic partner cheated on her with multiple women and left her (and the country) with significant unexpected bad debt and ruined credit, Candice was forced to rebuild her life, her credit and her trust in herself. Over the next few years Candice navigated the challenging world of foreclosure court, filing for financial proposals and divorce. During these times she adopted a minimalist lifestyle, leaned on her personal network and practiced radical personal forgiveness, acceptance and responsibility. The journey was not without its impact and Candice shares powerfully about dealing with anxiety, depression, shame and learning to let go. When grief rocked her world a little less than 2 years ago, Candice knew it was time to stop her life, hit the pause button and finally do the deep work to heal her heart, self and mindset. She spent 14 weeks in deep personal soul searching, meditation, quiet reflection; with a side of weekly therapy and support from various healing modalities to help her recenter, refocus and heal her deep feminine nature. Emerging from this place, Candice has begun to embrace her fierce and receptive feminine nature with her formally developed masculine side. The journey to be and embrace all the parts of herself has led her to the place to start her wildly successful Create the Ripple Podcast; Trust the Niggle and Tell the Truth - where she features other amazing guests who are not afraid to do the hard work of personal development, listen to their own minds/heart and then speak up and out for those things that matter; to themselves and to make a difference in the world. Candice loves her minimalist lifestyle for the beauty and freedom it offers her. She knows the power of a good thrift store shop and loves her wardrobe! She has learned the power of saying no, listening to your own heart and speaks openly about subtle abuse as it occurs in relationships. She's become a voice for listening to your own truth and speaking it powerfully. She knows how to save money, make money online and in creative ways to balance the books as a single mom and yet live your biggest and best life. Candice can never resist the urge to take off her boots to walk barefoot into a clear mountain lake or stream. When she is not connecting or writing, she can be found disappearing into the backcountry trails of Canada with her life-love Mark and losing herself exploring waterfalls and mountain trails. She is a quiet introvert who adores eating clean foods and reading a great book.  Connect with Candice:  https://linktr.ee/CandiceSmiley
