In a year where we spend 8,720 hours doing, giving, working, caring, creating, mentoring (and sleeping) … and so much more … to not create space to reflect on all we have done and who we have become, as well as recognize (and honor + receive) our impact, growth & progress, would be just plain crazy :)
Plus honoring feels great! And when we pause to actually see and feel both the visible - but even more so the invisible - we actually RECEIVE energy in return in ways that make a big difference in how we experience our lives, world, wellbeing, security and satisfaction.
The energy and act of "Honoring" is one of the most powerful things we have access to, but that we often under use. Honoring is a form a love. It melts away the heavy feels, the judgements of not enough, the pressure to do more. It turns struggle into comfort and possibility.
I invoke the super power of honor every year at this time because I continue to see the power it has to open our hearts, lighten us up, fill us up and give us a way to start the next cycle radiant & clear, roooted in our enoughness.
Which is why I am re-running this episode again this year - I just listened to it myself ... and again it really supported me to see and feel and VALUE the invisible things I've done PLUS see and acknowledge others in my lives for the invisible and important ways they show up.
We think of honor as something someone else has to give to us - when in reality we have the power to bestow honor upon ourselves, in a healthy way, with humility and dignity.
There is so much to say about honor and what a super power it is.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 258: The Year-End Honoring & Receiving Ritual - I'll walk you through this honoring ritual that I do every year for myself, 1:1 with others, with groups, so you can really FEEL the honor, shining a light in these three areas:
I love this ritual so much - May it fill you up with radiance, good vibes and a deep sense of how your presence, care, devotion, and choices matter.
With heart,
Christine

Imagine a world in which in December all humans turned their focus to connect to what matters, and worked with the energy of the season in ways that support their wellbeing in all ways. So come the start of the next linear calendar year, we all felt fresh, radiant, clear and centered ... ready to receive what is to come.
We don't have to wait for that reality - we make it now. One of ways we 'do' this is to tap into the wisdom of "releasing practices". Intentional reflections and actions we engage in as part of our December Downshifting that:
As I felt into what would serve us this year to release, I turned to the same three practices I do every December myself, and decided to re-run last year's episode because it's what is still needed: #257: Year-End Release to Feel the Peace: Clear Out Now So You're Set Up for Next Year.
Consider this: The over-culture makes us think we have to keep creating new. But wisdom teachings and structures are timeless. So when we use the same basic structure year after year, we can relax into the known structure, but bring a different and fresh energy and focus year after year. This makes inner peace and releases internal pressure. Join me and I'll take you through 3 Releasing practices:
I so love this practice! May it bring you peace, possibility and power.

The December Downshift is a practice we come back to year after year to signal to our internal systems (and the people and projects around us) that it's time to start the slow down vs. get swirled into the year-end or holiday madness, followed by new year start pressure. It's the cyclical co-creation rhythm and structure we practice to mimic the natural world, who has managed to prosper for billlions of year (and gives us a template for how to evolve, grow and thrive).
Think of the practice of downshifting at year end like driving a manual transmission car - you don't want to keep moving through Dec in 5th gear, at a high pace/ intensity/output still running on mental or emotional stressors from the weeks/months prior, and then hard downshift into neutral the last days of the year ... you'll blow out your system. And then likely need to recover from all the OVER indulging, doing, spending, connecting in the new year. So you start depleted vs. ready to receive.
It's a wiser to move through the gears one by one, over the course of weeks, so you can: savor your connections, deeply replenish, and receive from all you have created the previous 12 months. Making choices that support you to be healthy, clear and ready to receive inspiration, insight and clarity for focusing and co-creating next year.
Every year while the process of year-end downshifting is the same (there are 4 phases of downshifting - relax, rest, replenish, regenerate), the flavor and focus is different based on that year.
This year ... I tuned into create this year's December Downshift practice for you and received these themes: PEACE, PRESENCE, PEOPLE + PROSPER. I'll guide you through two somatic meditations + help you put intentional & spacious structure into place for Dec + Jan in these parts:
For 15 years I've created this structure through December and January for the co-creators + people willing to do things differently, wiser. We'll be here again - keep tuning in weekly on the podcast + join us for the live happenings (see below).
With great heart,
Christine

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace - Jimi Hendrix.
In our second part of the Genuine Power series, I'm inviting us to explore a different way to look and see the dynamics of power at play on our planet, in people, and how we ourselves can contribute to the kind of power that leads to peace, for all.
I love using the power of language to evolve how we see things - to wake us up to what is real, what's interfering and distracting us, and where we do have the power to be pioneers in co-creating the new, for ourselves, those we influence and interact with and the larger ecosystems and planet we are a part of.
Some things we'll explore together today :
My intention is that this conversation will serve to give us insight and wisdom to keep bringing us each back to center, and to remember the power of connection to our hearts, the planet, and the people on it.
As well as to give us a elevated way to understand our current times .... which are tied to thousands of years of entertwined power threads ... so we can open our eyes and tune into our bodies and beings to what is real and true. And embrace our unique part and path through this time many call "the Great Change."
There are no simple answers. No one is winning on a planet where so much destruction and domination is thriving. No one is losing, because the story is not over yet.
This is not our time to give our power away to any party or person ... ideology or tribe ...
Not the time to label.
And definitely not the time to let our frequenices get mucked up and our co-creative power get distrracted by all of the interference, fear and chatter out there.
Tune in my friends .... this is the time to go within, and listen. To come together, slow down and connect in meaningful ways. To watch what's playing on the external screen and observe, and be clear about what you are giving your powerful life force. mindshare, and heart energy to.
See you there. Christine

Hello Dear Ones! After a month of being silent mode (and navigating a natural disaster) ... sitting with what words and wisdom wanted to emerge to support and guide us through these intense, transformative times... the inspiration came through for a 3-part series on Power ... specifically what I am calling "Genuine Power" - natural, innate, native power, different than authentic power and for sure different than distorted power.
We are going to explore what genuine power looks and feels like ... what distorted, destructive power looks and feels like ... what is at the roots of both... how do we open up our eyes to see and discern truth and reality .... and then how do we apply our co-creative power to reimagine the way we and this world work, now, from the inside out.
This first episode in the series is #254: A Call to Honor, Humanity & Sanity.
Imagine this: What if in order to hold a position of power and leadership in any system - from a corporation to government to a family or community - a person had to meet the qualifications of embodying and expressing Honor, Humanity and Sanity ... and they also had to create an environment that instilled and cultivated those qualities in others?
Remember, the fertlizer to the see of new, elevated realities are to imagine it, bring language to it, and then through our voices, choices, presence, relations and projects, co-create it.
In the podcast we will hone in on HONOR. HUMANITY. SANITY and use the power of the definitions below to bring forth the essence of what we are talking about what leadership - personal and systemic - looks and feels like when it's rooted in wholeness.
See you there!
Christine
Remember ... OUR POWER comes from connecting with heart and purpose with others, to support each other to stay light - centered, radiant, clear -- and to explore and conversate so we can co-create new realities into being.

Wise beings know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support us to grow our work, wealth and relationships, and to support our overall wellbeing, and keep us focused on what matters.
Which is why at the quarter point shifts of the year - Solstices and Equinoxes - our personal leadership best practice (and one we can do with our teams and partners) is taking what I call a Power Pause.
Equinoxes specifically are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter. In this episode we focus on the last quarter - between now and the end of the Roman calendar year (about 9 weeks) or between now and end of January, the start of the new lunar calendar year (about 12 weeks).
Tune into this Power Pause and take a step back to get some perspective on the main parts of your whole life - your work in the world, your wellbeing foundation, your relationships and your personal growth / presence.
I will lead us through a creative inquiry process including somatic visualization to tune into and get clear on:
See you there!

Have you ever considered how the work you do and the way you work could be different if you & all people put Wellbeing at the center?
Imagine if our culture embraced that all humans are designed differently, which means what supports our wellbeing - mind, body, heart, spirit - will be different. Therefore, the way we work, and the environments we work within need to be flexible, fluid and responsive to the different kinds of work styles required to empower and enable diverse humans to thrive.
Imagine a world in which we defined work not just by what we did to receive money, but all the ways in which we give our energy, care, and time to a system…including caregiving & creative expression…as well as the jobs & roles we play within organizations and professions.
In this episode, Christine and Jennifer explore 3 Realms to illuminate the way you are designed to work best, liberate you from what doesn't align, and then begin to take small but significant steps to bring your reality into alignment with your design now. We'll also explore and illuminate what must be present for you in the environments you work within in order for you to truly thrive.
Remember: You and I have the power to co-create culture. Our power starts with choosing to intentionally cultivate the culture of our individual place + reality. Then the culture of the family + relational systems we live in. Then the team ecosystem we work in. Then the organizational, community & social ecosystems we swim in.
Rather than wait for the big ecosystem to shift to creating a culture that creates work environments based on what we need as humans to cultivate and maintain a strong foundation of wellbeing...we can embrace our power of #HarmonicDefiance and make small shifts that lead to bigger shifts that bring how we work and where we work into alignment with all realms of our wellbeing.
Between now and the next episode, Christine and Jennifer invite you to contemplate the inquiry: What shift could you make to bring your work more into alignment with your design and wellbeing? Bonus invitation: SHARE this podcast with a friend, and invite them to conversate on the inquiry with you. Let’s Stay Light in community with fellow Wise Beings – join us!

The super power of Co-Creation. It's different than manifestation. It's not magical thinking. And it's the wise way for us as leaders to shift from pushing, grinding and striving to actually bringing our visions into form...without burning out or sacrificing our lives. It won't make everything you desire magically appear. And while it is about us as individuals, Co-Creation (emphasis on “co” piece) is not just about us as individuals - this is where the courage, compassion, and connection comes in to give us true super power.
In this episode, Christine and Jennifer explore the feminine super power of co-creation through three key principles for bringing more of what we desire for ourselves and the world into reality. How we co-create with the Universe and each other to bring our desires from essence into form. Lean in, tune in and put into practice what feels aligned for you.
Suggestion - bring some paper and markers - we will be using the co-creative practice of visual thinking together. Bring your journal if you have one.

You and I have the super power to consciously choose to catalyze ourselves vs. wait to be catalyzed the big “Universal 2x4.” We have the power to work with the catalyzing energy happening on our planet right now in a way that supports and serves us and others vs. overwhelming us. But like any super power, if you can't name it and articulate it, you can't wield its power…
In this episode, Christine and Jennifer explore the feminine super power of Catalyze: the power to use the situations that life brings you as liberators and elevators that lift YOU & OTHERS up - to expanded levels of consciousness and reality. When you choose to embrace your power to catalyze yourself out of a comfort zone, with focus and swiftness, you release and shed what's no longer needed (and is weighing you down), and take a self-empowered step into your soul's evolution, liberating yourself to a more full, true, empowered expression.
When you shift the situation that’s challenging you right now in your life from something happening to you into something happening through you, you step into your power to meet and work with whatever is showing up...as a process and path to greater healing, freedom and expression.
This is practical wisdom in action - to apply to whatever is catalyzing in your life. We'll dive into:

One of the things I love about the practice of cyclical planning and co creation is that it gives us the space to tune into wisdom before moving into action. If we dare to take that space - which could be days, weeks or months, we gain so many things really hard to see or believe if we are only operating in the busy mode of our day to day. Things like:
Clarity on what matters .... where the momentum is... where it's not.
Acknowledgment of all the incremental progress we have made ... that's easy not to see or receive if we don't pause.
Guidance that comes from a deeper wisdom than our minds can source.
Which is why I'm inviting you to take a breath, take a beat, and experiment with this practice I call Pause. Listen. Co-Create.
It's one of the practices for' how' we create space for ourselves to evolve into the next, while sustaining the now, and releasing that which we no longer need.
This is a practice we do every August - the first harvest of the year - but you can do it anytime.
I will lead you through the 3 parts -
1.Incremental Progress - What are you harvesting now because of where you put your attention, intention and resources the last 4 months of last year?
2. Pausing - Reflect on the wisdom gained. What do you want to take with you / focus on into the rest of this year (this will create your harvest next year!)
3. Listening - What's falling off? What's shapeshifting? Where's the momentum taking you?
4. Co-Create - What space + structure do you need to experiment, explore and elevate?
I will also check in with you on where I've been in my own journey these last few months using this process to chart my course forward.
See you there! Christine

We’re all feeling the intensity – so how can Feminine Wisdom support us to navigate through it? Well, it starts with taking a pause, putting on our “wise being glasses,” and then taking a deeper look at what is going on in the Field (the bigger collective world) and in our personal field (our own inner experiences, relationships and reality). This pause allows us to see what is real, what is needed, what the patterns are, and to find the wisdom to navigate the now and the next.
In this episode, Christine and Jennifer explore how Feminine Wisdom can support us in intense times, to elevate and expand our consciousness, so that we can liberate ourselves from the stuff we just don’t want to carry with us or create from anymore. The intention of our exploration is to give you perspectives and practices to prepare you for the now, and the next.
Some of the wisdom models, practices and tools we'll work with in this episode are:
