Wounds Into Wisdom🦋
Charmian Blackwood
Welcome to my Podcast. 2020 has been my transition into the greatest period of awakening todate and my rebirth. Time in solitude has allowed me to look really deeply at ME. Who I AM, where I AM and why I AM. From April to Mid August 2020 I tried to adjust to the 'New Normal' I fought off and disregarded my internal screams insisting NOW was my season to heal and I mean REALLY heal. So after another period of depression spanning about a month on the 24 August 2020 I began to put pen to paper and what was realised within me is the power I hold and now wish to share with whoever may need it. 🦋

Raw and Rancid
This piece depicts the thoughts of self that I held and owned for the most part of my life, until I decided I no longer wanted to think and feel this of self. Lets do this together. I got you🦋 My final episode of Season 1. I can't articulate how much this whole process has allowed me to identify and realise MY power. I feel like the real me has finally been released. There is not an ounce of shame or blame that I hold and am in the strongest position I've held to date. God Willing Season 2 will begin in 2021 so I want say thank you for joining me and thank those that have reached out with love, support and encouragement. I've been told my words have brought some of you comfort others say it has made them feel empowered. But the over-riding emotion my words have created is LOVE and that to me is what it's all about.

It Was Never Me
A short piece, acknowledgement that I was a child and my abusers were adults. How seeing from the perspective of a parent now allows me to fully comprehend that as a young child there is NEVER any justification for an adult to initiate intimacy of a sexual nature. Let's do this together. I got you🦋

Re-Framing My Childhood
This is a piece where I discovered a number of historical events from my childhood that I hadn't realised I'd experienced until I had written it. It initially upset me to recall as I'd buried memories so deep as a coping mechanism, however I now feel fully released from these particular incidents as I continue to write, walk and speak fully into my truth. So let's do this together. I got you🦋

Not My Fault
I write this in true acknowledgement and conviction that my childhood experiences of sexual abuse were never my fault. The almost unbearable weight I have carried in terms of guilt and blame towards self damn near crippled me and that belief held me back in so many ways. This piece is me releasing that false belief and placing the guilt and blame firmly at the feet of those it belongs with. So let's do this together. I got you 🦋

I AM
This was actually the first piece I automatically wrote on 24 August 2020. As the pen made the final full stop I literally felt my tense shoulders drop, my clenched jaw relax and the almost constant pain in my lower back ease.... WOW. I closed the book and just sat with the feeling of release. The opportunity came where I was in a safe and sacred space and I took the courageous decision to share and for that moment I am eternally grateful. The beautiful Queen's that allowed me this honour know who they are. However what was most astounding was the impact my words had when read aloud, it was a whole deeper level towards my healing and the powerful reflective energies it manifested in the Queens. I always knew my purpose is to help others but could never quite put my finger in what capacity, at that exact moment God said there you go Charmian. This piece was then accepted as a performance piece for the up coming Empowering Her Voice Online Scratch Night 🎉 This will premiere on YouTube on 30/10/20 @ 7pm GMT🇬🇧 This further acceptance divinely reinforces to me that my voice deserves to be heard 🙏🏽 So let's do this together. I got you 🦋
