Power, Passion and Purpose: The Edge of Potential

Episode 52 – Reclaiming Your Self ~ 11/03/03 ~ Power, Passion and Purpose: The Edge of Potential

There are times when it’s difficult for women to come to terms with the depth, immensity and intensity of emotion that runs through them… particularly if that emotion is rage!

It’s not nice for women to know rage, intimately. Although many women have become adept at facing into and managing the rage of others, to know that force from within – as an aspect of her own being – can be overwhelming, given the cultural myths that surround what it is to be a woman… and what it can never be.

Dare to be part of this conversation, as Louise engages with her guests on their own discoveries about rage; and about the potential that it carries to transform lives, in a life-enhancing way.

Put aside the time to explore, inside yourself, what comes into your awareness; and what makes its way into voice that has, for too long, been silent.  Listen to this conversation and engage what is meaningful to you.

In conversation with: Lisa Weiss (WSI Affiliate), Naomi Irons (WSI Affiliate) and Stephanie Nelson (Certified CODE Model Coach™, in progress). Discover how to make that journey more meaningful: from pressing up against what you don’t want to carving out, what you do.

For more information about Lisa and Naomi, visit Lisa’s web site and Naomi’s web site.

Families: Hope, habit and beyond!

Posted by on December 16, 2010 at 5:51 pm

Episode 41 – Reclaiming Your Self ~ 10/12/16 ~ Families: Hope, habit and beyond!

The one thing we can all admit to is that none of us is hatched!  Whatever its shape or form; whether by accident or by design, family – and all that goes with it! – has an impact on us all.

For all the families that enjoy being together, there are the ones that struggle… with each other and against what have come to feel like the chains that bind.

Today, our notion of ‘family’ has become fluid; and given that our families are a reflection of who we are, there is hope for us all as we choose to come face-to-face with ourselves and each other.  It’s never too late as we redesign how we define ‘family’ in meaningful ways… and let go of what keeps us small.

Join Louise and her guests as they explore the myth of the intact family and all that goes with it… particularly at those times of year when history and habit can so easily overtake reason, intention and desire.

In conversation with: Audrey Buchanan, Melissa Owoc and Stephanie Nelson – Women in the WEL-Systems® community who are discovering that there is more to family than what they were taught to believe was possible!

Note: Audrey Buchanan and Melissa Owoc are shown in the picture to the right;

Divorce: Re-Awakening to Our Potential

Posted by on September 9, 2010 at 2:12 pm

Episode 27 – Reclaiming Your Self ~ 10/09/09 ~ Divorce: Re-Awakening to Our Potential

As much as it’s not likely ever easy, it doesn’t always have to be hard! Imagine a moment that allows you to pause… and reconsider… how else you might choose to engage the notion of ‘divorce’ – in your life or in the life of someone you care about. Imagine the moment of recognition that brings with it the power of knowing that you’ve created it all and, as such, you can rise to recreate, again!

‘Divorce’ need not define us… and it can be the wake-up call that re-awakens us to the pivotal moment of asking: How else do I choose to live MY life, today! Join Louise and her guest Stephanie Nelson as they look through different eyes at the pain and struggle of divorce, to find the joy, discovery and potential that can flow into and through our lives from this intense invitation to live a meaningful and authentic life.

In conversation with: Stephanie Nelson – recently divorced and parenting her 16 year old daughter – married with the intention of staying married. When it turned out otherwise, her journey into her own evolution deepened and accelerated. Stephanie’s life journey has taken her from the extremes of a background in allopathic health care to traditional native healing practices, and many stops in-between. Her most recent exploration has found her at the WEL-Systems® Institute; and now on a path to certification as a CODE Model Coach™. Her ability to be open, clear, honest and direct is lifting the veil on how she sees herself, her world and her ability to move effectively through that world.
