My guest this week has a very unique story, one which involved some very shocking events that rattled her entire being. Yet often it is the most detrimental things we experience that bring us to our Divine Purpose. Through personal tragedy and trauma, Sheridan Ruth has seen firsthand how unjust systems and unsafe environments are perpetuated by individuals who are burned out, fearful, and reactive. However, she has also witnessed the immense power each individual has to create positive cultural change, and how, based on her unique skills, the most effective, efficient way she can support individuals in doing so, is by bolstering them with therapy, coaching, education and support through their nervous system (the foundational way you experience life).
On this week's guest episode, Sheridan gives us her expert run down on the nervous system and how we can begin to master it in order to make choices from a place of peace & trust rather than fear. This results in moving towards genuine success, such as Sheridan has achieved.
Sheridan shares how she believes that true equality and justice in society start with the systems that govern us—businesses and laws—but these systems are shaped by humans, whose thoughts and emotions can create cultures of suffering OR instigate positive change. In her work with others she aims to guide others towards the latter. She also speaks to how our attachment style influences our relationship to money, what people usually get wrong about nervous system regulation, how to increase your nervous system capacity for increased income, intimacy and success, and increasing the nervous system's capacity for love, abundance, pleasure and joy after trauma and c/ptsd.
From being stripped of every strand of hair on her body to losing my ex to suicide 3 weeks after breaking up, Sheridan was forced to use trauma-healing to sustainably build her business. While there are a lot of 'trauma-informed' and 'body-based practitioner' coaches in the industry, none of them do it by merging body-based tools, the nervous system AND business strategy.
Sheridan helps anxious, perfectionist, people-pleasing and burned out entrepreneurs combine the nervous system with business strategy to increase profit and decrease anxiety - even when traditional methods haven’t worked.

w: sheridanruth.com What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?
My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.
After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.
Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.
On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine
I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,
If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
