That might sound like a weird wish…

Holidays used to be a stressful and resentment filled time of the year for me. And I’ve heard so many women secretly admit this too.

We often fall into roles, expectations and sense of obligation around the planning and managing and cooking and family dynamics that bring more exhaustion than joy.

And for those of us who are energetically and emotionally sensitive, empathic or introverted, we often feel the pull to get quieter while the world gets louder, busier and more social.

So how do we navigate all this? What energy do you want to create inside of yourself? How do you nurture your own light as the world gets darker and we’re drawn into winter fallow time?

We explore all this and more.

Now… this episode was recorded a year ago. It was our very first messy, “let’s try this out” experiment before we had any equipment or were published on any platforms. (So please forgive the audio quality.) And wow! It's been a year. Thank you for being on this journey with us.

And… it’s been a hot minute since I published a new episode - so in the new updated intro, I share why. I do my best to walk what I teach.

If you want to stay in touch, come over to our free community at http://fsw.care, pop over and follow me on Instagram @meghangilroy or grab the free videos at www.meghangilroy.com which will keep you on my list.

And of course, if you missed a previous episode, it’s a great time to catch up!

I hope you find ways to be soft and compassionate with yourself .And remember, we don’t have to be perfect to start! Just follow the breadcrumbs. May you have a holiday season that fills you up.

What is the "lock and key challenge" in your relationship? In other words, what behaviors and patterns does your partner display that might just be the perfect trigger to inspire your own growth and expansion?

How can we hold ourselves AND our partner as we move past the "breakers" and out to the calm sea beyond?

In this nourishing episode with Susan Mason, a Certified Conscious Uncoupling and Relationship Coach, we dive deep into the juicy world of relationship challenges and how to move through them.

Sue gives us the inside scoop on the various challenges she humbly witnesses in her work with couples.

What are some of the more common complaints?
How do you break free of long-standing patterns?
Can you really break free of blaming and into balance and well-being?

This enlightening conversation offers deep wisdom on how to cope with the various phases of your relationship beyond the honeymoon phase, and offers insight into how we can bring our adult selves into our relational energy - while still holding space for the little one within that is sometimes screaming to be heard!

How can you more fully tap into your intuitive abilities, which are often called the “claires?”

Were you shushed or shamed as a child for your intuitive abilities?

Do you need to amp up your energetic hygiene - especially if you are an intuitive, empath or highly sensitive person who strongly feels the world?

In this episode, Julie Lewin, a medical intuitive and energy healer practitioner for over 37 years, and I discuss the various “claire’s” - Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, Clairalience, and Claircognizance… and how we might use one for ourselves and then utilize a different one when working with others.

Curious about which ones you possess?

Julie invites us into her world and teaches us true “intuitive” mastery - including “energetic hygiene,” the importance of grounding and maintaining a connection to your body, the ethics and boundaries of being an intuitive, and a few practices for developing our own unique relationship to our intuition, which we all have access to.

Come drop in!

How do you raise a kind, spiritual, Earth-loving kid?

What rituals can support your children & family?

How can you talk with your child about fear… love… and their bodies?

Whether you have a child in your life or are curious about the next generation or just want a window into my family life, today I share what it looks like to raise a spiritual, kind, cares-about-the-Earth child through an interview with my 8 year old daughter Téa.

We giggle and do a brief ceremony to call in the directions, share how connect with nature and how we deal with emotions, nightmares, meanness and more…

Listen in to this adorable conversation to my little shaman girl.

What does it take to leave your current career and pursue a life (and a business) centered around Spirit?

What’s required to take that leap of faith and what will you have to let go of?

Once again Yours Truly is in no longer “the host” but instead placed in the love seat while my husband Jamie gets to ask the questions :)

While my more recent podcasts with Jamie were centered around relational healing and partnership breakthroughs, this convo is centered around my process of leaving a high-profile job to start the Fully Shining Women Wisdom School, movement, this podcast and spiritual mentoring.

Of course this brought so many big changes... to my role as a mother and a wife, to my inner circle - the women I surround myself with, and how I present myself to my community.

• What did it take to fully claim my role as a powerful healer and community-builder?
• Was it scary to step out as a “spiritual woman?"
• Did I have doubt?
• How big was my vision and did I need to adjust along the way?

Let's talk about why living a spirit-led life is important!

What would be possible if every woman questioned what we think and believe so we can put ourselves out there into the world as spiritual, powerful beings? My hope in sharing my story is that you will feel inspired and more confident to follow your heart and soul.

How do you create sacred spaces - within and around you?

What inspires you to express yourself through your space, and anchor Spirit into the physical plane?

Many of you know I come from a Toltec Shamanic lineage - which essentially means "Artist of the Spirit” and Willow Windgood certainly is one!

In this episode we explore the depth and importance of creating sacred spaces!

And she defines it so beautifully...

"Sacred space is an invitation, an opening, to enter an intention that has been set. It's a container. A building, a church, a temple..in which you can walk in and feel that intention emanating from that space."

It's truly inspiring to hear how Willow crosses thresholds by creating magical spaces -anchored here on Earth - in which the Higher Self can play. Listen in to learn how you can anchor your own unique intentions into your physical space, and tap into the “artist of the spirit” within you…

ABOUT GUEST WILLOW WINDGOOD

Willow Windgood creates art that acts as a doorway into the human imagination and invokes a sense of wonder and adventure in the world. Her process is an investigation, profoundly dependent on her capacity to see pattern, form, and the archetype within the multiplicity of nature.

Do you feel like you and your partner are constantly navigating “competing needs” in a way that is exhausting and creating disconnection?

What are your triggers and where do they come from?

And what if your triggers and trauma were the key to unlocking a more relational “us-oriented” approach in your relationship?

Partnership is hard and long-term marriages ebb and flow. In this vulnerable and intimate talk with my husband Jamie Gilroy, we reveal the breakdown that led to a beautiful breakthrough in our marriage and transformed how we relate to each other.

We hope to give you insight into your own triggers and how you can work with them to understand the undercurrents of trauma - both big and small - that often inform how we relate to each other!
