Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 194 Your natural alchemy is choosing to remember your divinityThis episode is an exploration of what and why we become distracted by the mental, emotional or physical events that keep us small or in looping patterns, instead of choosing the bigger picture of our own divinity and natural adeptness for alchemising what shows up in our lives. As we continue to move into a deeper knowing of our own divinity, we are being called to be more impeccable with letting go of what does not serve our future/new selves. At this precious moment when we are so beautifully ripe for the next expansion into ourselves...2025-06-0927 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 193 The beauty beyond the beauty we thought we knewHumans are naturally drawn toward beauty, because we long to know more of ourselves. It was spring two years ago when I recorded an episode on this theme, and as I re-listened this morning, I heard myself say that I had just received a “download” (not a word I would use now) that I had not yet integrated. Not a surprise then, that this morning felt very much the same. The only words that come to me are the few that arrived this morning in a poem; Beloved, then those days arrive when you absorb so m...2025-04-1030 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 190 Why embodying your true beauty is even more important here and nowAs we continue to explore how to embody who and what we truly are, this episode is all about real beauty as a reflection of who we truly are. The word beauty is often misunderstood. “Beauty” is even more important in times of challenge, change, and chaos. We are being asked to use the brightness of ourselves to put our attention on what “beauty” we want to see in this world, what beauty we want to bring forward. It is important and powerful for these times, and yet it does not have to be a grand gesture. Sma...2025-02-1615 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 189 Deepening your brilliant song of self loveMoving into 2025 feels different and the powerful expansion many of us are experiencing can also bring up programs that are anathema to self love. Not only is self love is the center of the pearl of sacred self care, self love is the wellspring that comes from your vaster self, connected to the breath of the cosmos. It is foundational to your natural organic human operating system. Your presence here is precious and now is the moment to be fully and completely expressing as that presence. Time to find the deeper wellspring inside yourself. Because y...2025-01-0721 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEPISODE 188 Choosing to flow(er) into the fullness of you in the year aheadMany of us are truly feeling, maybe for the first time, areas in our own selves where life has been suppressed lifting off. We are metamorphosing into our next evolution, past what we knew as the butterfly and moving into something different. We have a choice right now, and choice is our human superpower. We are able to choose to flow or become the flow-er. Flowering into more of ourselves. This episode is an invitation to notice where LIFE has been suppressed in you. That can show up in a thousand ways. Paying attention to anywhere in...2024-12-1215 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 187 Moving from caterpillar to butterfly and now BEYONDThe metaphor of the caterpillar and the butterfly has always been a powerful one for our own evolution - the trust and knowing the caterpillar embodies in order to let go of every single cell she was in order to metamorphosize into the butterfly inspires. Now, there is an invitation to open to what comes after the butterfly. These next steps are not written in stone, but they are written on our hearts and in the trust we have for our own connection to pure love. What is it exactly that we are being invited to...2024-12-0221 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 186 Continuing to Remember to Become Full of Your True-SelfWelcome to the next season of the Awakened Woman Self Care podcast. I’m beginning season 7 with an updated introduction and a reprise of episode 135 which was inspired by the phrase full of yourself, the episode explored the question, “If you’re not full of yourself, who else and what else are you full of?” I was prompted to re-listen myself this morning and it has triggered an even deeper excavation in me. I trust it will invite many of you to do the same. The episode is an invitation to explore how much self you are full...2024-11-1435 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 185 Witnessing as an act of self love and universal loveThis episode is an invitation to move into more of yourself through self witnessing and witnessing of others in the purest sense. It’s an invitation to enter into your own deep wisdom — that part of you that knows that you are no longer interested in living in polarity and not only the very visible and evident polarity — but also the more subtle energy of polarity that keeps you from being in resonance with your own authentic self. It's a call to reclaim the true essence of your divine and infinite nature, and to release, like a set of...2024-07-2922 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 184 Riding the wild horses, choosing more of your expression of loveAs always, I love to explore the evolution of sacred self care for humans in this time - we keep choosing to become more of who we truly are and it keeps shifting. It’s challenging and exciting and sometimes frustrating. This episode is a fine tuning of our capacity for change, presence, and focus as pure love beings in this time. We all have a role in this symphony of light, one that is being heard and played throughout the cosmos. The metaphor of riding the wild horses was inspired by my friend Erin’s vi...2024-06-2618 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEPISODE 183 Letting yourself evolve even when you don’t know what that meansThis episode is a hybrid of the last episode, “Let the Waters Settle Beloved” and Episode 157 “Releasing caterpillar ways to embody the butterfly.” Continuing with the powerful metaphor of the evolution of caterpillar into butterfly and how it relates to where we are right now as humanity. Exploring how we invite in the new when we really don’t know what that will look like or how we will be without all the old modalities, practices, people and places that have populated our reality to date. Our caterpillar style living was perfect...2024-05-2926 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 182 Let the waters settle beloved, and find clarity withinIn this episode host Christine Pensa explores how we can move through the polarity of solution and problem with more ease and grace. It’s been a trope that we don’t truly change until a problem, a dis-comfort or a dis-ease comes up in our lives. Then we set out to “solve” it. That’s not necessarily where we get tripped up, but we often use the energy of “trying” or “solving” something, which puts us on the same frequency (and in direct polarity) with what we originally perceived as a difficulty in our lives. If we continue to loop...2024-03-1927 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcast181 Releasing Observer Status (maybe it’s time to leave your seat)This episode sprung from the poem Observer Status (see below). It’s an invitation to move from an unhealthy observer role to a more healthy discernment of where external “authorities” make sense for us and where it is simply a program being run on a loop. As always, sacred self care means we are willing to take responsibility for ourselves. As things in our external world become more visible, our role as passive observer becomes less palatable. We are being asked to consider ever more deeply, what are you choosing now? How can you turn up the volume...2024-03-0120 min

This episode explores these questions; What stories are we continuing to give our attention to in the external world? How do we notice the purposeful distraction and realign with what we know we are here to embody? How can we take the beauty and...2024-02-0835 min

This episode is an invitation to question your own experience and expression of programs and patterns of shame and why it’s now more importa...2023-12-1831 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 175 Saying goodbye to gurus by deepening into reverence and respectHow do we navigate these times when many people, practices and teachings are being revealed to be less than authentic and actually doing harm. How do we come to a place of reverence and respect for the true way showers without giving our own power away. First, we can choose to resolve judgement and resistance within ourselves. Noticing if we are dis-honouring ourselves, our own power, then perhaps expressing it as opposition to another person. Forgiving ourselves for misunderstanding the nature of past teachings which might have diminished us. We can choose to dismantle the hierarchy within o...2023-12-0534 min

It is a choice to live, move and experience through the light of ourselves. We’re learning how. In this way of operating we also cast no shadow. We create no division and harm and instead live...2023-11-2329 min

Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 172 What's common is not necessarily "normal" (a reprise episode with Dr. Brianne Grogan)As my summer hiatus continues, I am bringing forward past episodes that present themselves for another listen. This one came through a number of synchronicities. As I explained in the new introduction, I found great value in re-listening to this one and was able to deepen into the message Dr. Brianne Grogan shared. The original episode was titled; The Practical Magic of the Pelvic Floor with Dr. Brianne Grogan The episode was not just about pelvic health, it was about how we can open our consciousness to include more of what we choose for our o...2023-07-211h 06

It’s coming around again! It is ever more important to deepen into your knowing of what is true, because saying no can be a yes to more of you. The original episode was inspired by you, the listeners, who call forward what wants to be heard, and by an instagram post on neutrality.

Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 169 Curiosity begets self masteryThis episode was inspired by a well known aphorism, curiosity killed the cat, and is an exploration into how, why, and where our natural curiosity may have been suppressed. What does curiosity really mean and why would we damn up the river of information that flows to us and through us? Why would we choose to block that which helps us navigate the truth of our divinity? Curiosity begets self mastery, because, we are the catalysts for our own change and evolution. We have lived consciously and unconsciously in the “do as you are told” patte...2023-04-2723 min

We’ve been in warrior mode for some time now and it’s time to relearn and remember from where that polarity sprung—and to turn those warrior tools into the precision instruments they have been waiting to transform into....2023-02-0940 min

A beautiful way to find more you is to close your eyes and come into the silence of you. Breathe. Get out of...2023-01-2732 min

We have been conditioned to believe that we can miss out or be unsafe by not adhering to standards which originate entirely outside of our own truth. We then can miss the clear signals coming from our own heart home because we have not been embodying ourselves. When we feel uncomfortable or sad or worried we might be missing out, instead of fixating on what is wrong, noticing what it is that you ar...2022-05-2624 min

We know we are becoming more, and we are also experiencing physical ailments, heightened emotions and loss of a sense of “reality.” How do we practically step into becoming more of the complete self?

She says that the natural world is the easiest place to notice how miracles work. “Miracles are the nature of life itself and if we are not having constant miracles and constant joyful noticing of amazing things happening then there is something about our own societies and our own perceptions that we ought to be taking a closer look at.” Carrie says that though we don’t often believe it, we are...2022-04-1445 min

These connections planted the seeds for the unfolding of the new human permaculture image which revealed more of itself on the drive home.

Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 141 Kate Joyner and the Potent Alchemical Art of Self HealingChristine's guest in this episode of the podcast was Kate Joyner the creatrix of The Dancing Serpent Mystery School. The conversation opened by diving right into the alchemical art of self healing. Kate says the journey begins with knowing ourselves.

Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 140 Standing Like a Tree, and your powerful strong rootsThis episode was inspired by Tree and how trees are modelling perfectly the beauty, ease and grace of nature’s cycles. The cyclical nature of a tree shows us that letting go is not a loss, but rather a transmutation into the next level, the next evolution of what will blossom for humanity. Christine invited listeners to tune into their own capacity to stand strongly rooted in their own source connection, to let go like the autumn trees with a knowing and appreciation that falling leaves are compost for future growth. Learning from the trees about deep pr...2021-09-2430 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 139, Choosing untamed to come home to your true voice, when NO is really a yes to more of youThis episode (as always) was inspired by the listeners who call forward what wants to be heard, and by an instagram post on neutrality. The post came from Dr. Lori Earley and she said in her account @phoenixrising medicine, "Neutrality is not an option." What are we choosing in this moment, at this pivotal time on the planet? When chaos and polarities are amplified, we can retreat from that cacophony because we do not want to be pulled in directions that would seem to pull us apart. We still FEEL it because we are part of the...2021-09-1032 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 138 Moving in the direction of Love with Gabriela GutierrezChristine’s guest is Gabriela Gutierrez, an independent scholar and practitioner of oracular arts and shamanism. The episode opened with a discussion about opening to joy/ecstasis even in the face of those most traumatic events that we are currently living. The definition of ecstasis is; “A magic state where your consciousness reaches another plane and creativity flows unimpeded.” Can we hold the place of the witness in the face of all the grief, fear and doubt and be with all that is unfolding, and—hold the joy. We explored how our moment to moment choices can allow us...2021-08-2650 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 137, Your Sacred Self Care and joy as an act of resistanceFor many of us how the new consciousness is coming in is not what we “thought” it would look like, and yet it is exactly what we KNEW it would be. Because everything we thought was part of the lies, everything we (heart) knew is part of the truth. Each day we can choose to release more of what was never us. You are the being in charge. Turning inward, tuning back into the truth of ourselves. How do we practically move through this moment? How can we choose differently—staying in the body, staying presen...2021-08-0723 min
Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 136, Exploring the nature of self healing and the evolution of the human experienceThis episode is an exploration of the nature of healing and what is changing and evolving for us as humans in this now moment as we consider opening to more of our own self healing capabilities. Exploring the beliefs we may have stemming from the common thought program that says if things don’t run smoothly, you have done something wrong. Noticing what beliefs we are still carrying that are feeding an outdated system through the metaphor of a parasite. We don’t take on the identity of the parasite, assuming it is us, and likewise, we don’...2021-07-2335 min

We are journeying through some terrain that may be unfamiliar, and as we are finding our new footing in this moment, many of us are watering the new ground with our tears. The tears can be the emptying out of what is not us...2021-07-1527 min

The journey of this moment is all about us becoming more whole, shifting our current experience to reflect wholeness, rather than fragmentation. Reflecting on the beauty of Alberto Villoldo’s term “Homo Luminous” and this moment we are in where we are indeed in the cocoon of becomin...2021-06-1034 min

Awakened Woman Self Care podcastEpisode 124, The sweet territory of SILENCE, an exploration with Christine PensaAs part of my own shamanic training and exploration I was introduced to the concept of the Four Shamanic Questions*. The idea was that when a person came to a shaman seeking help for dis-ease or in despair, the shaman would pose four questions to bring the person back into ease. The Fourth question is; WHEN did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of SILENCE? Expanding upon the question, the seeker was invited to explore where they had mistrusted or ignored the mystery of their own being. Where had they stopped being an explorer of their own...2021-02-2429 min
