Welcome to Voice Nodes :) After last week, it became abundantly clear that this share is not what about what I have gone through, or passing along experiential knowledge, but rather a shared experience of the now. From today onwards this journey is a present invitation to explore and make space for what is needed now. In thought, I realised to give word to past experiences is to live in the past and to fuel imposter syndrome through a means of proving. So join me, in this share and from here on out where I am venturing forward by starting exactly where I am. Unscripted and unaware of where this path will take us. In this share I arrive before my laptop without a plan, objective, or subject matter - but simply come as I am. This is the theme and message of the audio share. In it, I explore: What "being there" is for a friend experiencing and processing grief What possibility could look like in our world if we only showed up as relational beings Tarot's 7 of Swords: My interpretation of it within the Motherpeace deck How values create the essence and conviction of our being Intention vs. objective My favourite part in creating this vocal share is to spark dialogue, so please share with me your thoughts. Additionally I am working on my intro, outro, and accompanying sounds, so if this is your gift, please let me know what's working and not working.  Resources Mentioned: Motherpeace Tarot Deck The Motherpeace deck's 7 of Swords Ways to connect with me (Justine): Find me on Instagram here and @colourmyaura (for a bit of fun and aura translations)

Welcome to my first share of VOICE NODES!!! In this episode I step into my shadow as public speaker by launching this podcast. I talk a little bit about my approach and beliefs around starting this, and spend much of our time together deep diving my own personal journey with my throat. I found myself wanting to share so much about the chakras, colour meanings and the elements, how this shows up in intimacy, and many other tangents I could have went off in but instead I tried my best to stick to my past. Main topics covered: Where it all began - childhood with a stutter Family members who drew attention to this body part My first encounter with an uncomfortable sensation How I am learning to navigate it What a somatic body journey taught me And . . . How it has protected me I am a little self conscious of the length, but most importantly I'm proud I'm putting it out there. Please let me know what you think and I'm excited to hear about other people's experiences with a particularly sensitive and most likely intuitive body part.
