035 | Feeling Our Feelings with Erin Telford
SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES
Two weeks ago my community in Sonoma County was shaken awake in the middle of the night by unexpected wildfires raging through the city and countryside.
In the days afterwards, there was an immense amount of grief, fear and shock in the field. For days I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering if I would need to evacuate. (Luckily I didn't need to, we have had to just be careful about the air quality, which has significantly improved this week).
I watched as this powerfulevent invited people to deeply listento the land and the call of their own heart. I saw people around me stepping into their truth, alignment and gifts like never before. I saw people coming together in love and support of one another. I felt the love and support of this community in a new way.
Over the past two weeks I have been reflecting on the powerful metaphor of life, death and rebirth. I have been asking myself:
What do I wish to burn away right now? and
What in my life would I hold on to?
It has been incredibly clarifying on what is truly important to me. (And surprisingly there was a lot I saw I could let go of)
with this powerful time of destruction & rebirth, there are a lot of emotions to be felt.
In the midst of all the events happening in our world, again and againwhat I keep coming back to for healing is feeling our feelings. Letting the grief, the anger, the fear come to the surface to be loved.
And that's what today's episode on the Rising Women Leaders podcast is all about.
It wasa joy to sit down with another sensitive soul and kindred spirit Erin Telford to speak about healing our hearts, honoring our emotions and listening to our "soul whispers." I hope you enjoy it.
