Episode 64 – Reclaiming Your Self ~ 11/05/26 ~ Moving beyond a sound-byte life!

It’s a busy world! Most of us, living busy lives on tight schedules, struggle to finish this ‘to-do’ list before we have to start the next. In our desire to get it all done, we separate, disconnect and compartmentalize the flow of our lives into manageable, bite-size chunks of outcomes and responsibilities…. and then we call that ‘living’!

There are other ways to live – and for that, we have to stop… take a long, hard look in the mirror… and own what looks back at us. Far beyond the desire to finally catch up to ourselves, we can create lives that make room not only for the truth of who we are but for the unfolding potential of who we desire to become. Imagine living your life that way, not only for your own wellbeing but for the invitation you can become to the people you care about, to create that for themselves.

We are highly contagious – and what we live becomes both permission and expectation for those who live with us, to explore that for themselves. How are you choosing to live your life, today? And how else might you redesign it, if you believed that you could?

Join Louise as she explores the pathway to living a meaningfully sustainable life. With guests who know what it is to walk the talk, be prepared to discover what’s getting in the way; and to reclaim your birthright to design the life of your choosing.

Be part of this journey that invites us all to find the courage to trust the curiosity that will lead us into a more authentic and expansive way of being ourselves.

In conversation with: WEL-Systems® Institute Affiliates and CODE Model Coaches™ Sheila Winter Wallace, Lisa Weiss, and Naomi Irons.

Each an expression of her own living truth, these courageous women know what it takes to live large and to live out loud! To find out more about these women, visit Sheila’s website, Lisa’s website and Naomi’s website.

Episode 63 – Reclaiming Your Self ~ 11/05/19 ~ Birthing a New Paradigm ~ The Mother Daughter Dance

Guest Host: Naomi Irons

The Mother-Daughter relationship can be one of the most complex experiences. As adults, the tangled web of expectations and stories can keep us held captive to past events and experiences that continue to replicate the context within which we have come to know ourselves.

Discovering who and what we are behind the roles we have played allows us to stand in the now, to see ourselves differently and have a much more authentic and meaningful relationship engaging out of choice and not just habit.

Join guest host Naomi Irons with her mother, Holly Irons as they explore their own WEL-Systems® journeys and the impact this has had on their own relationship with themselves and each other. Not a journey without challenges and uncertainty, they will speak openly of the truth of their experience that has lead to discovering what a meaningful sustainable relationship means to each of them.

Guest Host: Sheila Winter Wallace

Discovering Self in Awakening the Body… The Power of BSI (BodySpirit Integration)

These days, we look to fix our lives and our bodies so that we can feel good about being ourselves. We talk about climbing the ladder to success, paying our dues, keeping up with the Jones’s. The trajectory of, first, we must achieve something, so, then, we can do what we think we need to do, in order to become whom we would like to be, is tied to what we think will make us acceptable to ourselves and our collectives. We stick to thinking about where, when, what and how in searching for new and meaningful lives. While we want to live differently; still, we are reluctant to step into territory, unknown to us. We have been living this way forever, it seems… and, overall, that default has amounted to struggle and despair, the world over. And, because we know of no other way, we tell ourselves that our struggle is worthwhile, that it builds character… no pain, no gain. The body is the final frontier for the revelation of that struggle. What has been percolating, in the unseen, has been doing so for a very long time, once it shows up in tissue. That is when we come to the conclusion that our bodies have betrayed us and that we have to make that body ‘right’ in order to live.

What if we have it all wrong? What if it is all genius? What if there is nothing to fix? What if our bodies have not betrayed us? What if there is another way? What if we are quantum biological humans and our tissue, through which we express Self, is, in fact, our safe home and sure territory for moment-to- moment discovery of Self? What if our bodies are the only real and sure compasses by which we get to live rich and meaningful lives of wellbeing?

Join guest host, Sheila Winter Wallace as she engages in conversation about BSI with two women who have chosen to take the WEL-Systems® journey through the body to discover more of whom they can become. What each has discovered is that she is captain of her own ship.

In conversation with: Brandi Larochelle and Marie José Raymond.Brandi, working as an HR professional in the Public Service, lives in Nunavut and has recently awakened to this new voyage of Self discovery. Marie-José – a translator who owns and operates a translation company in Ottawa, Ontario – has been willingly riding the waves of her journey for a very long time.

Note: a picture of Marie José Raymond is not available at this time.

With his team at SENSEable City Lab, MIT’s Carlo Ratti makes cool things by sensing the data we create. He pulls from passive data sets — like the calls we make, the garbage we throw away — to create surprising visualizations of city life. And he and his team create dazzling interactive environments from moving water and flying light, powered by simple gestures caught through sensors.

Carlo Ratti directs the MIT SENSEable City Lab, which explores the “real-time city” by studying the way sensors and electronics relate to the built environment. He’s opening a research center in… Full bio and more links
