What Gifts Come From Surviving? Why Do We Do This If Only To Potentially Endure More Hurt, Suffering, And Struggle? Perhaps The Divine Feminine Magic Of Healing & Recovery Reveals Our True Brilliance

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope. -George Eliot

The above quote is the one I couldn't find while I was recording this episode. It meant a lot to me back in my 20's, when I was having a very difficult time letting go of hurts and upsets in life. This quote, now that I'm nearly 40, reminds me of the remarkable beauty of the wisdom and  understanding that comes with aging and knowing life. I'm grateful for this everyday and for my perseverance through the times that felt void of hope and potential.

On this week's solo episode I speak on a topic that was inspired by two sacred conversations I had this week. One with a 16 year old an another with a lovely Women's group participant. They both mournfully expressed their weariness from experiencing recent break ups and separation   from partners they felt deeply for. Together we discussed why it's important not to give up, to believe greater joy and happiness is possible, and that it's better to persist and grow wise than to perish without knowing fully what you are made of and how divinely serene life can be.

* Women Waken Wednesdays will be held weekly on Wednesdays at 6pm PST starting in February! This is a virtual Women's group I'm holding for my beautiful listeners. I would love for you to join! Please contact me (IG or Email) for Zoom info!

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!
