Welcome back, friends!! In our first guest interview session, I am bringing back my dear friend, teacher, medicine woman, and all-around badass, Cindy Stockdale - to talk about slowing down long enough to begin the process of observing what comes up. Please find a bit more about Cindy via her bio below; and follow her on Instagram here, as well as on her website. I hope this episode - and Cindy's wisdom within - serve you well as the month of January ends. Thank you for listening! Until next time, Be well Cindy's Bio: Hi, my name is Cindy. My deepest passion is to support you to reclaim your personal power and help you live a fulfilled and satisfied life. I am a certified Quantum Life Coach with degrees in Psychology and Archaeology. I have been teaching yoga, studying Mountain Shamanism and the energetic healing arts for over 20 years, and have been an intuitive and channel my entire life. I grew up in a family that suffered from addiction and mental illness and as a young adult knew that I did not want to continue to weave this trauma into my life story. This spurred me into the life long journey of self-inquiry. Through many modalities including: Quantum Life Coaching, Yoga, Shamanism, and the Expressive Arts, I began to disentangle myself from my conditioning. Using these powerful tools, I have been able to live from my higher self and step into my place of service and highest purpose. My highest purpose is to help people remember they are loved. This is a true homecoming. Homecoming means we get to identify what we believe to be true, not what society has told us we need to be. We learn how to identify and discern our own feelings, beliefs, sensations, and then have the courage to live them outloud in the world. I am here for the wild one, the edge walker, the curse breaker, the life claimer. I am here for those who are ready to transform their lives. I’m talking about real change, to finally turn the page on your story and to say yes to the life that is waiting for you. It is time to answer your call.
