At the Day Retreat last weekend, we did belly dance to bring out the soft, feminine, sensual parts of ourselves and it was so beautiful to see the women open up and move in this way. Belly dance was something I took up after my divorce and was a part of me healing my wounded feminine energy. Sometimes, when you experience trauma or abuse, especially when you feel it was done to you BECAUSE you are a woman, you can start to shut those soft and vulnerable parts of yourself down in order to protect yourself and to appear tougher, stronger and harder. Once we can begin to heal and lean back into those softer, sensual, vulnerable parts of ourselves....we feel safer being a woman. We can be confident being vulnerable and feminine. This is what I learned and WOW what a difference it has made in my life. I brought back this episode (aired 7/18/22) in honor of the energy at the retreat. It was also a listener favorite, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

xoxo, Shedara
