Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine

Laughter is a glorious thing and there is no doubt that comedy saves lives. I know it's brought me back to life on more than one occasion. On this episode I have the chance to wax philosophical on the benefits and brilliance of all things comedy and Women with the hilarious, JenX!

Show Notes

It's hard to imagine how we would get through life without laughter and comedy. With all the challenges, struggles, and tragedies it can be hard to stay in an uplifted mindset at times. It is often a healthy dose of comedy that can bring us to that state of lightness, joy, and pure relief from the burdens of life. My funny friend, JenX, can tell you all about the powerful and healing nature of comedy and how it has acted as a catalyst for growth and recovery in her life. After a divorce at 50, Jen's life felt heavy and bleak. Until she got the inspiration to try stand up comedy, an unexpected avenue that restored her confidence and and joy in life. 

On this episode, Jen and I share the ways that comedy has impacted our lives and how it can act as an agent of relief, healing, and transmuting weighty and stifling emotions into laughter. Jen shares how comedy can even help us overcome trauma by twisting it into light-hearted jokes. We talk about the particular importance for Women nearing or in midlife to embrace and tap into their own unique brand of comedy to help find their voice and elevate their mood and confidence. Jen also offers some tips on how to find your 5-minute set and getting over stage fright!

As a Berkeley-educated acupuncturist who suddenly turned stand up comic at the age of 50, Jennifer found unexpected confidence and joy in finding her voice after a divorce.  Now she helps midlife women and other unlikely comedians to be bolder, marketable, and more memorable speakers through stand up comedy. She'll be performing in the Burbank comedy festival next month and produces the monthly Sofa King Funny Show in San Diego.

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!
