There are wise women who have walked before us - and their wisdom is still here, even if their body isn't. It lives in the words they wrote, the choices they made, the lives they shaped, and the ways they helped us see what might be possible. We cannot let these wisdom threads drop between generations - keeping the wisdom threads alive is how we keep creating from momentum vs. lose momentum over time ... stay focused on what makes a real lasting difference vs spend effort and energy in places not needed or valuable ... ensuring we keep our wits about us vs. get lost in the distractions. When we actively choose to stay in connection to the energy and the wisdom gained from the wise women who have walked before us we ...benefit from their experience and gain insights, direction and conviction that can guide our actions, our thinking & understanding, and illuminate a path to navigate the uncertainty and unknown ahead. Consider this: Wisdom, and the women who embodied it, doesn't age out - it evolves. Rooted in what is timeless, there is wisdom here that is so relevant for our now and for the years and era to come ... if we choose to slow down, take it in, and embody it through our actions and presence.  In this episode, I'm keeping the wisdom lines alive with the words and work of four wise women who have passed over to the other side, but whose spirit and wisdom is still very much alive and relevant: Gloria Steinem, Ann Richards, Joanna Macy, and Barbara Marx Hubbard. Some of What We'll Explore: Choice, connection, protecting the power of your energy, valuing your part, staying with the long game even when the path brings frustration, failure, or not knowing, and embracing our power to write the next narrative -- including how women gain more power and wisdom for good as we age. Gloria on Choice. The message was never you can do, be, and have it all. The message was that you can be anything - and you have to make choices. Our power comes from linking together. Turn toward each other. Ann on Protecting & Directing the Power of Your Energy. Don't waste your chi. And don't let them steal your chi. Joanna on Keeping the Spark Alive in the Long Game of Change. "Thanks to the people who kept alive the spark of their convictions through periods of ridicule and persecution, changes that were laughed at, actively suppressed, or dismissed as hopeless dreams have now become accepted as normal parts of our reality." Barbara on Regenopause & Our Power Increasing as We Age. "As women experience menopause, the realization dawns that they are entering the greatest period of freedom and creativity in their lives. We call this new phase of life Regenopause - a pause in the life cycle of the older woman when the possibility of remaking herself by choosing from her deepest impulse becomes evident. As our bodies age, creativity and spirituality awaken." See you there!

"Our presence is our power. Our life force is our power. Our choices are our power. How can we choose to use this power, on purpose, to shape the next cycle of our lives, those we love & lead, and our world?" There are multiple ways to meet the time we are living in: we can submit to it, rage against it, resist it, fall into despair about it - OR we can choose to actively direct our power and presence, on purpose, to shape what comes next. For ourselves, for the people we influence, and for the ecosystems we can influence. In this episode (adding to the Illuminating Genuine Power Series) I invited my dear friend Tracy Layney - former Chief People officer, and always wise woman and pioneering leader who has spent two decades centering humanity inside organizations, shaping a better way to work and do business. We reconnected about 2 years ago (after a decade + gap) ... and after many juicy conversations realized we had a centerpoint that we've both carried in our work for 20 years. Today we are inviting you into the conversation to explore with us... Consider this: If we have more power than we realize (which we do)... then what does that mean, practically? And how can this guide us individually & collectively for where we are, how we move forward in the short term, and what we are choosing to create next for the longer story we are living out. What is the story you are living out now? What is the story you choose to live into being - for yourself and the world - forward? Where does your power sit, and where might you be giving it away? Why this matters now: We've noticed there's many of us who are in the midst of completing cycles and beginning new ones ... being called to really look at what we will give our energy (power) and time & experience (resources) to in this next cycle … feeling stretched to evolve in way that beckon us out of comfort zones … and into the parts we are meant to play now and next. Some of What We'll Explore: Choosing the Story We Live Into Reality, Individually & Collectively - moving from victim, bystander or reactor -> into conscious co-creator of our own lives and the systems & society we live, love and lead in Cyclical vs. Linear Time / Tech Time vs. Human Time – how attuning to natural cycles and turnings changes everything about how we direct our power Presence as Power - what it means to bring our genuine selves, unique gifts, and full life force into the world, as a real-time, intentional practice Designing from Well-Being, as Harmonic Defiance & System Disruption - what becomes possible when we put well-being at the center of our choices for this next cycle, not the afterthought? Some Wisdom That Emerged:   Meaningful work in all kinds of forms is essential to the human experience. No matter what time we are living in, we are still responsible for - and have the privilege of - creating our own lives. It's challenging, but it's the only way to evolve Learnings from Dolly. Power comes from being genuinely ourselves - living our design, giving our gifts, staying rooted in humility and kindness, and raising others' voices. If we each do this in our small parts of the world, that's more than enough.  Create from momentum, what you value, and the belief that you presence is your power. It not just what we do, but who we are and how we show up - our energy, essence, frequency matter. We don't have to start the next phase from nothing. We get to create from the experience, relationships and the life we've already built. This time we are wiser, let's be clear on what we value and what we intend to create. See you there! Christine  P.S. ✨ We, Tracy and Christine are also co-creating our first collaboration together - for professional women exploring and co-creating the next phase of their career path, life design, and leadership influence.

The Coherency Creator: Feminine Leadership Archetype #7 of 8  "Through my presence, I bring things into order. I see what is out of alignment. I can pinpoint what causes disharmony." There is so much chaos, noise, and incoherency being thrown at us right now — and within us.The Coherency Creator gives us access to our power to work with the field - our own inner field and the fields (ecosystems, situations, relationships, interactions) we show up in - to bring situations, relationships, and realities into a resonant state of order and harmony. Not by fixing, saving or forcing. But through our presence. And our ability to speak and embody what is called the power of "loving truth." Consider this: We each can choose to be leaders in our lives, relationships, teams, family systems and community. We each have the power to shift a room, create harmony and order out of chaos and conflict, and open space for new possibility. Just by showing up centered, grounded, and clear. Which sounds much easier than it is in real time practice! In this episode, we welcome in The Coherency Creator to explore what it means to consciously wield this power in your life right now. Here's a snippet of the power within us when we tap into this … "I lead us to create structure that innately creates harmony between all the parts." (get the full written transmission here)  Why this matters now: The chaos we are experiencing all around us is not accidental. When there is continual chaos, it keeps people stuck in the shadow frequencies of fear, blame, shame, and isolation. And we cannot create what's next from inside of that. The more of us who can consciously show up as coherency creators - in our own inner field first, and then in the fields around us - the more we shift what's possible. We don't have to fix it all. We don't have to be at the top of a hierarchy to embody this power. Often our most powerful act is simply to be a grounded, compassionate, honest, and clear presence in the room. Some of What We'll explore: Coherency as a Superpower - what it actually is, why it's so undervalued, and why the words alignment, resonance, harmony, beauty, clarity, presence, ease, and grace matter more than ever right now Your Body, Voice & Being as a Sword of Loving Truth - a somatic practice for understanding how your presence, energy, frequency, and essence work together to shift a room and create harmony and order out of chaos and conflict Incoherency Indicators - how to recognize when you're out of coherency in yourself or in the field, so you can work with your emotions and judgments and shift your energy on the inside before responding on the outside The Drama Triangle Flip - moving from victim, perpetrator, and fixer into creator, challenger, and coach — a simple but mighty tool for creating coherency Three Practices - simple, medium, large: Get Curious Instead of Critical; Proactive Power Pauses; and a five-part Elevation Practice for moving from incoherency to harmony step by step P.S. ✨ Get access to other episodes in this series here on the Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library.

The Catalyst: Feminine Leadership Archetype #6 of 8 "The heat and light of my presence invites you to liberate and unleash your power & essence, and shed what is no longer needed & no longer serves." There are catalysts happening all around us and within us - in our own lives, our relationships, our teams/families/orgs/communitie and the bigger world stages and realtities. The Catalyst gives us access to embody what I call 'Conscious Catalyzers and Co-creators" - so we can stay centered, clear and aligned with what is ours to initiate, facilitate and elevate (and not waste our energy, time or resources on what is not). Consider this: We may not be able to control what's happening around us AND we do have choice about how we use our lifeforce, voice and actions to initiate change, meet challenging circumstances, and embrace changes calling us stretch us out of our comfort zone... not by being super human, but by embracing our humanity + our capacity to be empowered leaders and co-creators in our lives, relationships and the ecosystems we lead, live and love in. Instead of being victims to the circumstances around us, we can embrace that catalysts happen through us vs. to us. And in the process find courage, compassion and clarity - and Grace - to guide us through.   In this episode, we welcome in The Catalyst archetype - sitting at the heart line alongside the Advocate (our previous episode). The Catalyst carries lightening bolts of truth, grounded in love, so the words, energy and action never wounds or scars, but with intention, often awakens and turns up the heat, with an invitation to liberate and elevate. Why this matters now: With so much unhealthy, unconscious catalyzing being doled out that can feel like a barrage of lightening bolts, which are being tolerated in our society in distorted ways that definitely do harm... plus the many ways we are each being stretched and/or are meeting the call to expand and grow ... the Catalyst has lots to offer us. Here's a partial transmission of the Catalyst … notice what resonates… and tune into the podcast for the full transmission. I am here to shake things up. Waken you from the ways you still sleep. My lightening bolt of truth is like Soul Fire - inviting you to step forward from what binds and distorts... to choose the freedom to embdy and express more of your full, true Self, for the good of yourself, all beings, and the planet...  Some of What We'll explore: The Full Spectrum of Catalyst Power - from phoenix burning it down with intention to the soft warm glow of invitation to awaken, to choosing to be an initiator of change - always grounded in love, with the intention to do no harm Catalysts Happening To You vs. Through You - how to meet initiations with courage, compassion and clarity, staying human in the hard stuff without losing your power or your center Catalyzing Self - embracing the changes and initiations life is bringing you, and the practices that hold you through the stretch, the unknown, and the places you're being called to grow Catalyzing Others & Relationships - the key question before throwing any lightning bolt: Is this mine to facilitate, initiate, or elevate? - and the tools for knowing when to step back entirely Catalyzing Systems - acts of harmonic defiance, conscious disruption from the inside out, and how even small focused acts of catalyzing in your family, team, or community create more impact than you know Tools, Guided Meditations & Practices - to help you work with this energy in embodied, real, and sustainable ways P.S. ✨ Get access to other episodes in this series here on the Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library.

The Advocate: Feminine Leadership Archetype #5 of 8 "The greatest peril we face is the deadening of our response." — Joanna Macy, Active Hope The world is flooding us with things to respond to. The Advocate cuts through the overwhelm and brings us deeper to find clarity on: What is mine to do? And what do I 'do', in ways that matter? What do I need to stay centered and sustained so I can keep my light bright vs. burning out. In this episode, we welcome in The Advocate archetype - sitting at the heart line alongside the Catalyst (coming next). She carries what's called the "Sword of Loving Truth": the fierce, grounded capacity to stand for what matters without losing your center, without rescuing, or sacrificing yourself in the process.   We need this energy now more than ever. Deeply connected to source energy - mind, body, heart and spirit - she can show us how to cultivate energy and focus it in ways that cut through the overwhelm, illusions and chaos to touch and penetrate the heart of the matter, and get through the clutter to the hearts of humans.  Here's a partial transmission of the Advocate … notice what resonates… I stand for you when you cannot stand for yourself. I stand with you when you need a voice to speak for you, someone who has your best interest at heart. I stand in loving truth for you, without needing to fix or save you. As I stand with you, your power within awakens and strengthens. I am not here to create followers or make you dependent upon me. I am here to stand for you until you can stand on your own — self empowered, embodied from the heart. (Get the full transmission and practices on my wisdom blog here — christinearylo.com/advocate-archetype) Why this matters now We are in an "epochal transition" - not a light switch moment, but a great turning that asks something of each of us. And if you've been feeling tired, heart-wrenched, overwhelmed by all there is to respond to, or paralyzed about where to actually put your energy - know you're not alone. The advocate in us can get distorted when we try to take it all on, when we want something more for others than they want for themselves, when we sacrifice ourselves for the mission, or when we insert our will into situations that aren't ours to control. What's needed isn't doing more. It's knowing and focusing and acting on what is ours to do and understand — fiercely, devotedly, sustainably — from the heart. We'll explore: What the Advocate archetype is and why her energy is essential at this turning time The shadows of the Advocate: self-sacrifice, the rescuer/martyr pattern, wanting more for others than they want for themselves, and inserting our will The superpowers we can tap into: commitment, devotion, speaking truth from the heart, and the Torus of Love A practical three-part process to focus your advocate energy - from my leadership trainings: #NotOnMyWatch, #OnMyThread, and #NotMineToDo — so you can act where you have power and stop draining yourself on what isn't yours  (get the process here on the wisdom library) Self-advocacy — stand for yourself with the same fierce grace you offer others, why impeccable self-care is not optional right now, getting clear on what you need to replenish your heart and spirit  + restore resources   Staying informed without becoming overwhelmed — the power of having people in your life who carry different threads than yours, so you can stay connected to what matters without having to track everything yourself A reading from Joanna Macy's Active Hope — Trusting the Spiral P.S. ✨ Get access to other episodes in this series here on the Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library.

Hi fellow co-creators! Dropping in with 'stay harmonized' episode. A grounding + orientating episode. One meant to help us move through this intense threshold time without losing ourselves, our links to each other, and to what is real — without burning out, numbing out, spinning in place, or letting our energy get hijacked and wasted. We are in a great turning, that includes lots of resistance and dark as well as rising up and light. We can feel it - in the world, in our work, in our own lives, minds, hearts, bodies and spirits…. and it's a lot! This turn is not going to be a light switch ... it's more like riding up a mountain pass, with rest stations needed along the way. Each of us going through our own liberation and elevation that is a micro of the macro elevation humanity is moving through together.   I'm on the ride with all of you - I've just been out and about, and internally gathering insight the last two months... and now ready to sharing the map I've been living myself — that I think may serve you too.  The map: Release to Receive. Root In to Relax. Rebel to Reveal. We will use this as a frame to explore: Returning Patterns: the merry-go-round and the upward evolving spiral, how to tell which one you're on Release to Receive: getting honest about what we can no longer carry so we can open to what's truly trying to come in Root In to Relax: rooting like trees into the rhythms + practices + and relationships that keep us sustained Rebel to Reveal: tuning into our "Sacred Rebel Hearts" for guidance + courage to do things differently and embrace our power to make shift happen in simple yet significant ways - for ourselves (me) and our part to play (we).   💬 On repeating patterns: "When we find ourselves saying 'I can't believe I'm back here again,' it doesn't always mean we've failed. Often it means we're meeting the same pattern at a higher turn of the spiral." Wisdom to Listen for : Real breakthrough happens when we bring the mystical into the material — this gives us power to see what we are blind to and see where we have the power to do things differently and influence the ecosystems we live and swim in. If we knew we were all in a great turning how would that help us be present to what is without absorbing the energy that pulls us out of focus? We've been in this turn for a while, the heat is on, and we're not going back. In intense times, root like a tree to stay centered — so you can weather the winds and the storms. When we let our sacred rebel hearts lead, our deeper wisdom goes online and the path for how to move from here reveals itself — one incremental step + one quantum leap at a time. 👉 Want the full set of Wisdom Inquiries from this episode - to gain insight for yourself?

The Space Holder: Feminine Leadership Archetype #4 of 8  "Your presence makes more difference than you likely know."   In this episode, we welcome in one of the most undervalued yet over-depended upon powers we have and give to the people and systems we work, live and show up in, the Space Holder — who reminds us that our Presence is our power.  It's the steady energy people feel with us, how we listen and respond, and the space we create for what's true to come forward. It's a big part of how we can make a difference in simple yet very significant ways through our presence. Here's a partial transmission of the Space Holder ... notice what resonates...  I am an empty vessel, a space without judgment. I listen, I receive, I reflect. I am present because I have no agenda, nothing to prove, nothing to gain or get. I can hear between the spaces to what is really being said and what is really needed. I allow what I hear, feel and see, to stir within me before I speak. This resonance calls people to attention, and shifts things. (get full transmission and practices on my wisdom blog here).  Why this matters now We are living in a time when the 3D reality - built on fear, domination, greed, and disconnection - is visibly crumbling, and our nervous systems are overwhelmed by 24/7 information, crisis, and noise. We cannot create what's next from the same hyper-mental, over-productive, reactive patterns that created the imbalance; we need people who can slow the field down, regulate the space, and open access to inner wisdom, higher consciousness, and the human heart. Space holding is one of the most powerful capacities we have and also one of the most invisible and undervalued - especially in roles like parenting, caregiving, teaching, therapy, healing, and true leadership. We don't wait for society or the mainstream culture to value these, we choose to value them ourselves first, and make this invisible power of space holding visible and valued in the family, team, work and organizations ecosystems we swim in   Without conscious space holders, valuing this power, we just add more content, more opinions, and more squawking into an already noisy culture. With them, rooms still, hearts open, and paths forward that weren't visible before can finally reveal themselves. We'll explore: What the Space Holder archetype is and why it's so essential in these intense, changing times A guided embodiment and centering practice to feel space holder energy in your own body The Space Holder transmission you can work with as a meditation, mantra, or contemplation How space holding is deeply valuable yet culturally undervalued, and how to start honoring it in yourself Practical ways to listen and hold space, "The Listening Menu" – witnessing, reflecting, offering insight or intuition instead of jumping to fix or over-empathize The power of empty presence and compassion to help you know when to speak, when to be silent, and how to shift a room through your presence alone P.S. ✨ Get access to other episodes in this series here on the Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library.

Hello Dear Wise Co Creators! I'm dropping in here as we cross the threshold of the completion of one linear calendar year and the start of the next with a ritual that never tires, and is like super food for our hearts, minds and spirits ... it's all about honoring and receiving from what you have already done, and using that energy to replenish yourself, so you can create from momentum as we rise up into a new year cycle vs. hit the ground running. I originally created this ritual episode in 2024, but I tuned in to it again today and I was like, must share this with all of you.! And invite you to take a walk with it, or journal with it, or just meditate, cook, sit whatever with it. This year more than ever, we need it. ENJOY!  Here's a little about the power of Honor: The energy and act of "Honoring" is one of the most powerful things we have access to, but that we often under use. Honoring is a form a love. It melts away the heavy feels, the judgements of not enough, the pressure to do more. It turns struggle into comfort and possibility.  We think of honor as something someone else has to give to us - when in reality we have the power to bestow honor upon ourselves, in a healthy way, with humility and dignity.  I invoke the super power of honor & this ritual every year at this time because:  I continue to see the power it has to open our hearts, lighten us up, fill us up and give us a way to start the next cycle radiant & clear, roooted in our enoughness. Doing this ritual at the year end start threshold really supports us to see and feel and VALUE the invisible things we've done PLUS see and acknowledge others in our lives for the invisible and important ways they show up. In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 258: The Year-End Honoring & Receiving Ritual - I'll walk you through this honoring ritual that I do every year for myself, 1:1 with others, with groups & teams, so you can really FEEL the honor, shining a light in these three areas:  INVISIBLE INTERNAL GROWTH: the things you can't measure but have made a signficiant difference, especially all the internal shift and growth, and the things you do that can go unseen but matter alot INVISIBLE IMPACT ON PEOPLE & PLANET - how your presence and care has made a difference in real people's lives and the frequency of the planet  INCREMENTAL PROGRESS - celebrating how projects, goals, dreams, reality shifts are more in form today May this ritual fill you up with radiance, good vibes and a deep sense of how your presence, care, devotion, and choices matter. With heart, Christine P.S. SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A FRIEND + DO AN HONORING RITUAL TOGETHER. Share what you are Honoring in these different areas for this year. Use the words "I am proud that ... I honor that..." Reflect for each other._____ HAPPENINGS, TRAININGS, RETREATS  FLOW 2026: Vision. Co Create.

Tune into this Year's December Downshift & Uplift Episode. A yearly practice we always do, but that varies year by year based on the energy and focus we need. Join us for the full Reflection Ritual www.ReflectionRitual.com  The December Downshift signals to our internal systems (and the people and projects around us) that it's time to start the slow down vs. get swirled into the year-end or holiday madness, followed by new year start pressure. It's the cyclical co-creation rhythm and structure we practice to mimic the natural world, who has managed to prosper for billlions of year (and gives us a template for how to evolve, grow and thrive).   Think of the practice of downshifting at year end like driving a manual transmission car - you don't want to keep moving through Dec in 5th gear, at a high pace/ intensity/output still running on mental or emotional stressors from the weeks/months prior, and then hard downshift into neutral the last days of the year ... you'll blow out your system. And then likely need to recover. So you start depleted vs. ready to receive.  It's a wiser to move through the gears one by one, over the course of weeks, so you can: savor your connections, deeply replenish, and receive from all you have created this past cycle. Making choices that support you to be healthy, clear and ready to receive inspiration, insight and clarity for focusing and co-creating next year. This year ... I tuned into for what was needed this December Downshift and realized we would also benefit with a Consciousness Uplift too. So we can really replenish our light + shake off the stress + see the progress and difference our effort and care has made + work with the inner "heart alchemy" already happening within us, including releasing inner patterns and past experiences that it's time to heal, let go and rise stronger and more compassionate from. Our exploration today is framed around the 4 themes below. I'll guide you through some reflective meditations + give you wisdom inquiries that support you to make choices in Dec + Jan that give you energy, support your system and your alignment.  (Wisdom Inquiries here on my website) Ritual and Rhythm   Reflect, Recognize.  Release, Reset. Restore.  Resonance. Receive. We will be shining a light on things like: the invisible impact your energy and effort has made where there's momentum created from incremental progress rituals and rhythms you can put in place now in Dec and Jan making choices from wisdom of what restores, replenishes vs. obligation, guilt, and FOMO For 16 years I've created this structure through December and January for the co-creators, leaders + people + teams willing to do things differently, wiser.  Join us for the live happenings (see below) With great heart, Christine P.S.

Fierce Grace Series: Feminine Leadership Archetypes - (#3 of 8)  "Insight drops in when we create space. Possibility reveals itself when we stop pushing." In this episode, we welcome in the Weaver Connector — the feminine leadership archetype who sees the patterns, possibilities, and connections that open pathways for wisdom, insight, and co-creation. She is the part of you who helps you move through the world not by pushing or over-efforting, but through resonance, relational intelligence, and spacious presence. Here's a partial transmission of the Weaver Connector ... notice what resonates...  "I see the connections between people, possibilities, and things. I make connections others don't always see. I move through the world best when I'm connecting with others — and connecting others with each other. Part of my creative power and success comes from my ability to connect with those I'm truly here to connect with." (Full transmission in episode & on website here.) Why this matters now We live in a world that glorifies productivity, speed, metrics, and constant output — and undervalues the relational and creative "fields" and "invisible" work that actually makes meaningful results possible. The Weaver Connector illuminates that nothing meaningful is created alone. Insight, timing, synchronicity, and possibility arise when we create from spacious presence, resonance, and connection — not force, toxic pressure, or over-efforting. We'll explore: • Intuitive superpower of Weaver Connector — pattern-seeing and the "overview channel." • Power Spectrum of Connection Competition that rises us into Conscious Collaboration  • Resonance as a compass for discerning aligned - and mis-aligned - collaborations. • Relational + creative energy fields - how they work and what's needed to bring synchronicity, insight, and opportunity into form. • Tender spots & "love cracks" that make us resist or chase connection and our desires   • Cultivating your web of connection + support for sustainable, easeful creation.

Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our health, and keep us focused on what matters. Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat.  Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter. The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I looked back through our library of Power Pause episodes and pulled out an episode that focuses on the themes of HONOR +  RECEIVE + CREATE THE NEXT WHILE LIVING THE NOW - because I feel like these are the energies and equations that will most support us in this cycle. Tune into this Power Pause and learn some about: Learn the wisdom behind taking power pauses 4 times a year  Making the invisible and the internal visible  - so we can feel it and value it  Honoring the process vs the product  I will lead us through a 3 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL and register in your body, brain and being:  How the energy and effort and focus you have given is returning harvest to you (but you have to pause to receive the harvest)  That you have been stretched & chosen to stretch - so you can harvest the strength & keep the wisdom gained.  You are supported & sustained in so many ways - but you have to soak it in to believe it.  See you there!  Christine  P.S. Remember -->> REVIEW + / or SHARE this Power Pause with a friend. Use the inquiries (listed below), share from the heart, witness each other, and WOW! P.P.S.

I'm over the moon excited to be unveiling and sharing the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes with you in this 10th season as a way for 'how' we can move through these transformational times. These archetypes are a reflection of what happens when we bring feminine presence into leadership, and value it. They can help us to stay clear and centered + strong in playing our part + empowered to wisely create realities that are rooted in wholeness, sustainability, freedom, harmony, love, connection + possibility... even if the mainstream world is reflecting a different reality.  I developed the Feminine Leadership Archetype model and system in 2018, based on 15 years of in depth study in feminine archetypal energy that spans across cultures, the energy is planetary. These leadership archetypes describe feminine presence and power - which is often not valued, compensated or even acknowleged within the systems we work, live and operate in. Although it is the energy that often holds everything together. It's the invisible things people rely on us for. It's what creates environments and cultures that foster people's growth, creativity and connectivity.  The archetypes give us language, symbol, metaphor, image and a sense of the energy within us we can access and apply. Coupled with traditional more masculine leadership energy, we then can create and model systems and power that reflect balanced leadership.  Here's what we will explore in episode #271: Illuminate: How we can embrace our own archetypal energy in a way that creates wholeness and harmony and empowers us to be co-creators of the realities we desire to see manifest. Educate: What are the Feminine Leaderships Archetypes and how we can apply these to our own lives, and then with the people, systems and causes we influences. A few words from our first archetype "The Creatrix:"  I birth new worlds … I hold the possibility of future generations in my hand, for who i care deeply and consciously, everything I need to create is within me, I am not here to feed the machine. I create freedom, love, harmony through the forms I midwife into being …  For the full Creatrix transmission tune in to this episode.

Today we begin our 10th season and 10th year. This episode will get us all centered in our stake - focus and intention - of what we are creating and why. To root us firmly in our power to co-create new realities on this planet now, at this time. In the ways we are uniquely designed to do so ... in the ecosystems we have influence over (vs. trying to do it all or feeling like we don't have the power to do anything).  Our stakes for this season are: Re-Imaginging the way we and the world work, when the feminine leads.  (from the inside out)  Embracing the power, wisdom & influence of our personal leadership to co-create a better, brighter world for ourselves + those we touch + generations to come, through our voices, choices & presence within the "ecosystems" we live, lead and love.  We focus on what we can influence: Focusing on the ecosystems we have the power and influence within - ourselves, our 1:1 relationships, our smaller systems like our teams / families  --->> which then influences the larger organizations we work in, communities we participate and live in (local, social and global) ---> which then shifts and creates the culture, society and consciousness on the planet. We remember and embrace: All non-natural systems on the planet were created by humans which means we as humans (which you and I are) have the power to create realities, systems, ways of being, working, relating, living, succeeding, etc... that support all people and planet to thrive and prosper for now and for generations to come. Our 10th season is called: Fierce Grace, which is the simplest way I can express what balanced, whole leadership and embodied power looks and feels like. Fierce Grace is the integrated power and presence that lives within our human heart. When we can access this full range of power and presence, we embody an essence that can shift a room or situation just by our presence. We are a force for change and elevation, because we are deeply rooted in ourselves, our essence, our innate wisdom and our balance, rooted truth. We will use 4 of the 6 realms of Elevated Leadership to create a structure for us: presence power purpose personal sustainability I'll share with you the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes on the 8 'turns of the year' - solstices, equinoxes and the cross quarter points. We'll start with the archetype of the CREATRIX in our first full episode, #271. And then we'll see what else flows in along the way. My intention is that Feminine Power Time will continue to be an 'oasis' for illumination, liberation and elevation + a Field for co-creators like you ...a place to ... Come to turn off the chatter and tune into what matters Re-center into what is real and aligned for you Gain wisdom, perspective, practices, insight, courage and clarity Where you leave feeling centered, inspired, accompanied, and rooted in your part, presence, power and personal sustainability. My inivitation and request is that you tune into this episode to get tuned into this container we are co-creating ... and then INVITE one person to join you in this exploration! Share this first podcast + the next with them, and conversate on what we share and make it real and practical in your life.  Looking forward to this journey with you, fellow co-creator and elevator!
