The Coherency Creator: Feminine Leadership Archetype #7 of 8
"Through my presence, I bring things into order. I see what is out of alignment. I can pinpoint what causes disharmony."
There is so much chaos, noise, and incoherency being thrown at us right now — and within us.The Coherency Creator gives us access to our power to work with the field - our own inner field and the fields (ecosystems, situations, relationships, interactions) we show up in - to bring situations, relationships, and realities into a resonant state of order and harmony.
Not by fixing, saving or forcing. But through our presence. And our ability to speak and embody what is called the power of "loving truth."
Consider this: We each can choose to be leaders in our lives, relationships, teams, family systems and community. We each have the power to shift a room, create harmony and order out of chaos and conflict, and open space for new possibility. Just by showing up centered, grounded, and clear. Which sounds much easier than it is in real time practice!
In this episode, we welcome in The Coherency Creator to explore what it means to consciously wield this power in your life right now. Here's a snippet of the power within us when we tap into this …
"I lead us to create structure that innately creates harmony between all the parts." (get the full written transmission here)
Why this matters now: The chaos we are experiencing all around us is not accidental. When there is continual chaos, it keeps people stuck in the shadow frequencies of fear, blame, shame, and isolation. And we cannot create what's next from inside of that.
The more of us who can consciously show up as coherency creators - in our own inner field first, and then in the fields around us - the more we shift what's possible. We don't have to fix it all. We don't have to be at the top of a hierarchy to embody this power. Often our most powerful act is simply to be a grounded, compassionate, honest, and clear presence in the room.
Some of What We'll explore: * Coherency as a Superpower - what it actually is, why it's so undervalued, and why the words alignment, resonance, harmony, beauty, clarity, presence, ease, and grace matter more than ever right now * Your Body, Voice & Being as a Sword of Loving Truth - a somatic practice for understanding how your presence, energy, frequency, and essence work together to shift a room and create harmony and order out of chaos and conflict * Incoherency Indicators - how to recognize when you're out of coherency in yourself or in the field, so you can work with your emotions and judgments and shift your energy on the inside before responding on the outside * The Drama Triangle Flip - moving from victim, perpetrator, and fixer into creator, challenger, and coach — a simple but mighty tool for creating coherency * Three Practices - simple, medium, large: Get Curious Instead of Critical; Proactive Power Pauses; and a five-part Elevation Practice for moving from incoherency to harmony step by step

The Catalyst: Feminine Leadership Archetype #6 of 8 "The heat and light of my presence invites you to liberate and unleash your power & essence, and shed what is no longer needed & no longer serves." There are catalysts happening all around us and within us - in our own lives, our relationships, our teams/families/orgs/communitie and the bigger world stages and realtities. The Catalyst gives us access to embody what I call 'Conscious Catalyzers and Co-creators" - so we can stay centered, clear and aligned with what is ours to initiate, facilitate and elevate (and not waste our energy, time or resources on what is not).
Consider this: We may not be able to control what's happening around us AND we do have choice about how we use our lifeforce, voice and actions to initiate change, meet challenging circumstances, and embrace changes calling us stretch us out of our comfort zone... not by being super human, but by embracing our humanity + our capacity to be empowered leaders and co-creators in our lives, relationships and the ecosystems we lead, live and love in.
Instead of being victims to the circumstances around us, we can embrace that catalysts happen through us vs. to us. And in the process find courage, compassion and clarity - and Grace - to guide us through.
In this episode, we welcome in The Catalyst archetype - sitting at the heart line alongside the Advocate (our previous episode). The Catalyst carries lightening bolts of truth, grounded in love, so the words, energy and action never wounds or scars, but with intention, often awakens and turns up the heat, with an invitation to liberate and elevate.
Why this matters now: With so much unhealthy, unconscious catalyzing being doled out that can feel like a barrage of lightening bolts, which are being tolerated in our society in distorted ways that definitely do harm... plus the many ways we are each being stretched and/or are meeting the call to expand and grow ... the Catalyst has lots to offer us.
Here's a partial transmission of the Catalyst … notice what resonates… and tune into the podcast for the full transmission.
I am here to shake things up. Waken you from the ways you still sleep. My lightening bolt of truth is like Soul Fire - inviting you to step forward from what binds and distorts... to choose the freedom to embdy and express more of your full, true Self, for the good of yourself, all beings, and the planet...
Some of What We'll explore: * The Full Spectrum of Catalyst Power - from phoenix burning it down with intention to the soft warm glow of invitation to awaken, to choosing to be an initiator of change - always grounded in love, with the intention to do no harm * Catalysts Happening To You vs. Through You - how to meet initiations with courage, compassion and clarity, staying human in the hard stuff without losing your power or your center * Catalyzing Self - embracing the changes and initiations life is bringing you, and the practices that hold you through the stretch, the unknown, and the places you're being called to grow * Catalyzing Others & Relationships - the key question before throwing any lightning bolt: Is this mine to facilitate, initiate, or elevate? - and the tools for knowing when to step back entirely * Catalyzing Systems - acts of harmonic defiance, conscious disruption from the inside out, and how even small focused acts of catalyzing in your family, team, or community create more impact than you know * Tools, Guided Meditations & Practices - to help you work with this energy in embodied, real, and sustainable ways

The Advocate: Feminine Leadership Archetype #5 of 8"The greatest peril we face is the deadening of our response." — Joanna Macy, Active Hope The world is flooding us with things to respond to. The Advocate cuts through the overwhelm and brings us deeper to find clarity on: What is mine to do? And what do I 'do', in ways that matter? What do I need to stay centered and sustained so I can keep my light bright vs. burning out.
In this episode, we welcome in The Advocate archetype - sitting at the heart line alongside the Catalyst (coming next). She carries what's called the "Sword of Loving Truth": the fierce, grounded capacity to stand for what matters without losing your center, without rescuing, or sacrificing yourself in the process.
We need this energy now more than ever. Deeply connected to source energy - mind, body, heart and spirit - she can show us how to cultivate energy and focus it in ways that cut through the overwhelm, illusions and chaos to touch and penetrate the heart of the matter, and get through the clutter to the hearts of humans.
Here's a partial transmission of the Advocate … notice what resonates…
I stand for you when you cannot stand for yourself. I stand with you when you need a voice to speak for you, someone who has your best interest at heart. I stand in loving truth for you, without needing to fix or save you. As I stand with you, your power within awakens and strengthens. I am not here to create followers or make you dependent upon me. I am here to stand for you until you can stand on your own — self empowered, embodied from the heart.
(Get the full transmission and practices on my wisdom blog here — christinearylo.com/advocate-archetype)
Why this matters now We are in an "epochal transition" - not a light switch moment, but a great turning that asks something of each of us. And if you've been feeling tired, heart-wrenched, overwhelmed by all there is to respond to, or paralyzed about where to actually put your energy - know you're not alone.
The advocate in us can get distorted when we try to take it all on, when we want something more for others than they want for themselves, when we sacrifice ourselves for the mission, or when we insert our will into situations that aren't ours to control. What's needed isn't doing more. It's knowing and focusing and acting on what is ours to do and understand — fiercely, devotedly, sustainably — from the heart.
We'll explore: * What the Advocate archetype is and why her energy is essential at this turning time * The shadows of the Advocate: self-sacrifice, the rescuer/martyr pattern, wanting more for others than they want for themselves, and inserting our will * The superpowers we can tap into: commitment, devotion, speaking truth from the heart, and the Torus of Love * A practical three-part process to focus your advocate energy - from my leadership trainings: #NotOnMyWatch, #OnMyThread, and #NotMineToDo — so you can act where you have power and stop draining yourself on what isn't yours (get the process here on the wisdom library) * Self-advocacy — stand for yourself with the same fierce grace you offer others, why impeccable self-care is not optional right now, getting clear on what you need to replenish your heart and spirit + restore resources * Staying informed without becoming overwhelmed — the power of having people in your life who carry different threads than yours, so you can stay connected to what matters without having to track everything yourself * A reading from Joanna Macy's Active Hope — Trusting the Spiral

Hi fellow co-creators! Dropping in with 'stay harmonized' episode. A grounding + orientating episode. One meant to help us move through this intense threshold time without losing ourselves, our links to each other, and to what is real — without burning out, numbing out, spinning in place, or letting our energy get hijacked and wasted.
We are in a great turning, that includes lots of resistance and dark as well as rising up and light. We can feel it - in the world, in our work, in our own lives, minds, hearts, bodies and spirits…. and it's a lot! This turn is not going to be a light switch ... it's more like riding up a mountain pass, with rest stations needed along the way. Each of us going through our own liberation and elevation that is a micro of the macro elevation humanity is moving through together.
I'm on the ride with all of you - I've just been out and about, and internally gathering insight the last two months... and now ready to sharing the map I've been living myself — that I think may serve you too.
The map: Release to Receive. Root In to Relax. Rebel to Reveal.
We will use this as a frame to explore:
💬 On repeating patterns: "When we find ourselves saying 'I can't believe I'm back here again,' it doesn't always mean we've failed. Often it means we're meeting the same pattern at a higher turn of the spiral."

The Space Holder: Feminine Leadership Archetype #4 of 8 "Your presence makes more difference than you likely know."
In this episode, we welcome in one of the most undervalued yet over-depended upon powers we have and give to the people and systems we work, live and show up in, the Space Holder — who reminds us that our Presence is our power.
It's the steady energy people feel with us, how we listen and respond, and the space we create for what's true to come forward. It's a big part of how we can make a difference in simple yet very significant ways through our presence.
Here's a partial transmission of the Space Holder ... notice what resonates...
I am an empty vessel, a space without judgment. I listen, I receive, I reflect. I am present because I have no agenda, nothing to prove, nothing to gain or get. I can hear between the spaces to what is really being said and what is really needed. I allow what I hear, feel and see, to stir within me before I speak. This resonance calls people to attention, and shifts things. (get full transmission and practices on my wisdom blog here).
Why this matters now We are living in a time when the 3D reality - built on fear, domination, greed, and disconnection - is visibly crumbling, and our nervous systems are overwhelmed by 24/7 information, crisis, and noise. We cannot create what's next from the same hyper-mental, over-productive, reactive patterns that created the imbalance; we need people who can slow the field down, regulate the space, and open access to inner wisdom, higher consciousness, and the human heart.
Space holding is one of the most powerful capacities we have and also one of the most invisible and undervalued - especially in roles like parenting, caregiving, teaching, therapy, healing, and true leadership. We don't wait for society or the mainstream culture to value these, we choose to value them ourselves first, and make this invisible power of space holding visible and valued in the family, team, work and organizations ecosystems we swim in
Without conscious space holders, valuing this power, we just add more content, more opinions, and more squawking into an already noisy culture. With them, rooms still, hearts open, and paths forward that weren't visible before can finally reveal themselves.
We'll explore: * What the Space Holder archetype is and why it's so essential in these intense, changing times * A guided embodiment and centering practice to feel space holder energy in your own body * The Space Holder transmission you can work with as a meditation, mantra, or contemplation * How space holding is deeply valuable yet culturally undervalued, and how to start honoring it in yourself * Practical ways to listen and hold space, "The Listening Menu" – witnessing, reflecting, offering insight or intuition instead of jumping to fix or over-empathize * The power of empty presence and compassion to help you know when to speak, when to be silent, and how to shift a room through your presence alone

4 ILLUMINATION INQUIRIES + descriptions of the PRACTICES - Access on the Wisdom Library here.
Hello Dear Wise Co Creators! I'm dropping in here as we cross the threshold of the completion of one linear calendar year and the start of the next with a ritual that never tires, and is like super food for our hearts, minds and spirits ... it's all about honoring and receiving from what you have already done, and using that energy to replenish yourself, so you can create from momentum as we rise up into a new year cycle vs. hit the ground running.
I originally created this ritual episode in 2024, but I tuned in to it again today and I was like, must share this with all of you.! And invite you to take a walk with it, or journal with it, or just meditate, cook, sit whatever with it. This year more than ever, we need it. ENJOY!
Here's a little about the power of Honor:
I invoke the super power of honor & this ritual every year at this time because:
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 & teams, so you can really FEEL the honor, shining a light in these three areas:
May this ritual fill you up with radiance, good vibes and a deep sense of how your presence, care, devotion, and choices matter.
With heart,
Christine
P.S. SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A FRIEND + DO AN HONORING RITUAL TOGETHER. Share what you are Honoring in these different areas for this year. Use the words "I am proud that ... I honor that..." Reflect for each other._____

Tune into this Year's December Downshift & Uplift Episode. A yearly practice we always do, but that varies year by year based on the energy and focus we need. Join us for the full Reflection Ritual www.ReflectionRitual.com
The December Downshift signals 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. 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 this past cycle. Making choices that support you to be healthy, clear and ready to receive inspiration, insight and clarity for focusing and co-creating next year.
This year ... I tuned into for what was needed this December Downshift and realized we would also benefit with a Consciousness Uplift too.
So we can really replenish our light + shake off the stress + see the progress and difference our effort and care has made + work with the inner "heart alchemy" already happening within us, including releasing inner patterns and past experiences that it's time to heal, let go and rise stronger and more compassionate from.
Our exploration today is framed around the 4 themes below. I'll guide you through some reflective meditations + give you wisdom inquiries that support you to make choices in Dec + Jan that give you energy, support your system and your alignment. (Wisdom Inquiries here on my website)
We will be shining a light on things like:
For 16 years I've created this structure through December and January for the co-creators, leaders + people + teams willing to do things differently, wiser. Join us for the live happenings (see below)

Fierce Grace Series: Feminine Leadership Archetypes - (#3 of 8) "Insight drops in when we create space. Possibility reveals itself when we stop pushing."
In this episode, we welcome in the Weaver Connector — the feminine leadership archetype who sees the patterns, possibilities, and connections that open pathways for wisdom, insight, and co-creation. She is the part of you who helps you move through the world not by pushing or over-efforting, but through resonance, relational intelligence, and spacious presence.
Here's a partial transmission of the Weaver Connector ... notice what resonates...
"I see the connections between people, possibilities, and things. I make connections others don't always see. I move through the world best when I'm connecting with others — and connecting others with each other. Part of my creative power and success comes from my ability to connect with those I'm truly here to connect with." (Full transmission in episode & on website here.)
Why this matters now We live in a world that glorifies productivity, speed, metrics, and constant output — and undervalues the relational and creative "fields" and "invisible" work that actually makes meaningful results possible.
The Weaver Connector illuminates that nothing meaningful is created alone. Insight, timing, synchronicity, and possibility arise when we create from spacious presence, resonance, and connection — not force, toxic pressure, or over-efforting.
We'll explore: • Intuitive superpower of Weaver Connector — pattern-seeing and the "overview channel." • Power Spectrum of Connection <-> Competition that rises us into Conscious Collaboration • Resonance as a compass for discerning aligned - and mis-aligned - collaborations. • Relational + creative energy fields - how they work and what's needed to bring synchronicity, insight, and opportunity into form. • Tender spots & "love cracks" that make us resist or chase connection and our desires • Cultivating your web of connection + support for sustainable, easeful creation.

Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created the next two episodes for you, which are really more like a mini retreat.
Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter.
The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I looked back through our library of Power Pause episodes and pulled out an episode that focuses on the themes of HONOR + RECEIVE + CREATE THE NEXT WHILE LIVING THE NOW - because I feel like these are the energies and equations that will most support us in this cycle.

I'm over the moon excited to be unveiling and sharing the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes with you in this 10th season as a way for 'how' we can move through these transformational times.
These archetypes are a reflection of what happens when we bring feminine presence into leadership, and value it. They can help us to stay clear and centered + strong in playing our part + empowered to wisely create realities that are rooted in wholeness, sustainability, freedom, harmony, love, connection + possibility... even if the mainstream world is reflecting a different reality.
I developed the Feminine Leadership Archetype model and system in 2018, based on 15 years of in depth study in feminine archetypal energy that spans across cultures, the energy is planetary. These leadership archetypes describe feminine presence and power - which is often not valued, compensated or even acknowleged within the systems we work, live and operate in. Although it is the energy that often holds everything together. It's the invisible things people rely on us for. It's what creates environments and cultures that foster people's growth, creativity and connectivity.
The archetypes give us language, symbol, metaphor, image and a sense of the energy within us we can access and apply. Coupled with traditional more masculine leadership energy, we then can create and model systems and power that reflect balanced leadership.
Here's what we will explore in episode #271:
Illuminate: How we can embrace our own archetypal energy in a way that creates wholeness and harmony and empowers us to be co-creators of the realities we desire to see manifest.
Educate: What are the Feminine Leaderships Archetypes and how we can apply these to our own lives, and then with the people, systems and causes we influences.
A few words from our first archetype "The Creatrix:" I birth new worlds … I hold the possibility of future generations in my hand, for who i care deeply and consciously, everything I need to create is within me, I am not here to feed the machine. I create freedom, love, harmony through the forms I midwife into being …

Today we begin our 10th season and 10th year. This episode will get us all centered in our stake - focus and intention - of what we are creating and why. To root us firmly in our power to co-create new realities on this planet now, at this time. In the ways we are uniquely designed to do so ... in the ecosystems we have influence over (vs. trying to do it all or feeling like we don't have the power to do anything).
Our stakes for this season are:
Re-Imaginging the way we and the world work, when the feminine leads. (from the inside out)
Embracing the power, wisdom & influence of our personal leadership to co-create a better, brighter world for ourselves + those we touch + generations to come, through our voices, choices & presence within the "ecosystems" we live, lead and love.
We focus on what we can influence: Focusing on the ecosystems we have the power and influence within - ourselves, our 1:1 relationships, our smaller systems like our teams / families --->> which then influences the larger organizations we work in, communities we participate and live in (local, social and global) ---> which then shifts and creates the culture, society and consciousness on the planet.
We remember and embrace: All non-natural systems on the planet were created by humans which means we as humans (which you and I are) have the power to create realities, systems, ways of being, working, relating, living, succeeding, etc... that support all people and planet to thrive and prosper for now and for generations to come.
Our 10th season is called: Fierce Grace, which is the simplest way I can express what balanced, whole leadership and embodied power looks and feels like. Fierce Grace is the integrated power and presence that lives within our human heart. When we can access this full range of power and presence, we embody an essence that can shift a room or situation just by our presence. We are a force for change and elevation, because we are deeply rooted in ourselves, our essence, our innate wisdom and our balance, rooted truth.
We will use 4 of the 6 realms of Elevated Leadership to create a structure for us:
I'll share with you the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes on the 8 'turns of the year' - solstices, equinoxes and the cross quarter points. We'll start with the archetype of the CREATRIX in our first full episode, #271. And then we'll see what else flows in along the way.
My intention is that Feminine Power Time will continue to be an 'oasis' for illumination, liberation and elevation + a Field for co-creators like you ...a place to ...
My inivitation and request is that you tune into this episode to get tuned into this container we are co-creating ... and then INVITE one person to join you in this exploration! Share this first podcast + the next with them, and conversate on what we share and make it real and practical in your life.
Looking forward to this journey with you, fellow co-creator and elevator!

In the times we live in, it's really wise to ask yourself: What am I doing to keep my energy clear?Are my energetic and emotional boundaries strong? How do I know when they are weak? And how do I strengthen them.
For this conversation, I brought on Noah Martin, my partner in life, love and business because he's super wise in these realms we will explore:
Consider this: This energetic, emotional and mental "gooping" is often invisible to our eyes - we don't see it, but DO we feel it? But if you don't know the signs that you've been de-harmonized or 'affected' with interference, you get pulled down and swirled around and cannot operate as your wisest and most radiant self. Once you know the signs and know what to do to recenter, you gain power to stay clear and rooted even in the intensity.
Clearing your emotional and energetic fields is a must in our world today; just like you brush your teeth and get in your daily steps. On today’s podcast, (pulled from our Wisdom Library), we’ll explore how to care for your emotional and energetic bodies by looking at:
Get your practitioners, practices, and people in place that will keep you at a high frequency. Build these into your daily, weekly, and monthly rhythm to support your radiance.
Between now and the next episode, we invite you to contemplate the inquiry: What Do I Do When I Get Gooped? Awareness is the first step to making a shift, and by the end of this episode you will have the tools to bring awareness to what tends to goop you up. You’ll also receive practices and resources to support you in clearing your emotional and energetic fields so that you can Stay Light. Join us!

This year I was really feeling we could all use a boost of heart power to clear out the interference - swirling within us and around us - and break our consciousness & creativity free, so we can feel possibility as reality, so much so that it gives us momentum to fuel and focus us forward.
Consider this: We as humans are evolving. What's showing up as struggle in our reality, and through the inteference externally and internally, are catalysts we can use to heal, strengthen and elevate ourselves and the parts of world and reality we influence. Not by bypassing, but by fiercely standing in the power of the heart, together.
Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to

INTERFERENCE INQUIRES + 7 Kinds of Internal Interference - get on Christine's website in her Wisdom LIbrary here. https://christinearylo.com/2025/07/internal-interference/
You and I have the super power to consciously choose to catalyze ourselves vs. wait to be catalyzed big “Universal 2x4s” or external forces beyond our control in the 'banana world.'
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, we 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.
Consider this: When you shift the situation that’s challenging you from something happening to you into something happening through you or for 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:
Together, we’ll reveal and illuminate:

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us – individually and collectively – which can lead to healing, breaking down barriers, and breaking through to better realities.
The problem is that most humans weren't taught how to express anger or grief in healthy ways, so it comes out sideways in distorted ways, or it gets stuffed down until we blow up or get sick. Sometimes we are the receiver of that big emotional eruption and other times we are the "unleasher" or "erupter" on someone else.
This episode was originally released in July 2024 as part of our nine-part summer series, Stay Light, hosted by Christine Arylo & Jennifer Alexandar. We pulled it out of our Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library as part of our 4-part July 2025 series this year. Wisdom still so relevant for these times.
We explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from our wounds or the wounds of others, and how to do it differently in ways that lead to wholeness, including how we can:
Between now and the next episode, we invite you to contemplate the two-part inquiry: What anger or grief am I holding on to? Where do I feel it in my body?

For all the co creators, change makers, re-imaginers, global citizens on planet earth, and those who choose to be part of creating a brighter world and better ways of living & being we know deep down are possible... this is for you.
We've been told "You are the ones you've been waiting for." There is no person here to 'save' us. Who we are and how we live is how we elevate reality - for ourselves, those we care for and guide, and this planet. This is Personal Leadership. And it's essential, and challenging.
So ... the question is ... how the heck do we make our way through the chaos, stay focused, keep the faith and be wise about where we focus our energy and resources ... and also keep our hearts, spirits and creative life force alive and strong in the months and years to come where so much seems out of our control?
Consider this: There is a path ... we just can't see it with our everyday eyes, we need our 'wise eyes' which can see in the dark of the unknown or see through the confusion of chaos ... can hear deeper guidance in stories, myths and patterns ... can discern what's aligned by contemplating on inquiries that lead to insight vs. grasping for answers to questions. Our internal imaginal cells are programmed to expand, evolve and focus us in the now and next. But we need intentional space outside of the banana world to 'do' this.
Which is why today in episode #2 in the Next Phase On Purpose series - Ep 269: Playing Your Part on our Planet Now, we will dive into and explore:
I invite you to use this conversation, exploration and creation to turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now.
with heart,
Christine

When we find ourselves in a time of intensity over extended periods of time, wisdom says ... it's wise (and essential) to pause and consider what we need to cultivate, replenish and retain our life force (our energy) and radiance (our light).
I'm suggesting that now is such a time ... not to pull the covers over our heads, or think one vacation will wipe away the tiredness ... but also not to keep pushing forward believing there is some magic moment all will be well or our work will be done. But instead ... we choose to stay aware and awake to what's happening in our world, while at the same time pulling our focus into our own personal ecosystem and what we need to replenish, now.
Like a dusty, tired car that has been on a long journey... it actually needs more than just gas to fill up... it needs a wash, a vacum, likely some air freshner and a reprieve .... so do we.
So here's my question... what do you need in the next several weeks or months (this summer/winter season or next 40 days) to replenish your radiance and life force ... on all 4 realms... mind, body, heart and spirit?
AND... what do you need to give yourself permission to take the time and space, to allocate the resources, and to pull back to 70% on some things, so you have that 30% to focus on what cultivates deeper reserves of energy. So you have the inner resources to create what's next - for yourself, those you guide and what matters to you in this world.
This episode #268: Permission to Replenish Your Radiance, is an intentional creative process + a full permission slip to 'do' what replenishes and lifts your spirit ... nourishes and fills your heart... clears and inspires your mind ... revitalizes and soothes your body... in the next time span of your choosing.
Consider this: When we consciously cultivate our lifeforce and radiance, we create longevity of wellbeing + the ability to dance through intensity, as a paradox and path vs. a polarity and problem to fix.
Then, instead of just spending that radiance, energy and light as soon as we fill up enough ... we choose to 'condense' it...let it stir and stew and gather up power and aliveness ... choosing to spend some not all ... so come the next season, we have the energy to rise and harvest, to create.
Tune in. Take a breath. Take a beat.
When we root into our radiance and what is real, our path and purpose naturally unfold. And we have the energy to meet the moment and play our parts, together.
with heart,
Christine
p.s. Share + forward this episode with a friend + Be permission slips for each other to stay committed to making the choices that replenish your energy and life force this next cycle.

"If we don't actively dream our dream, we are being dreamt" - Andean Wisdom, Marcela Lobos
Since our lives are micros of the macro, I think it's safe to say that most of us are going through transformations ... being called to elevate in our next expression and evolution ... shedding skins / exoskeletons / phoenix feathers / old parts, roles & constructs ... likely it's already happening ... but are we tuning in and REALLY listening ... and do we have the inquires that lead us to the essence of what we desire to create, and what is on our design to do/live/be? So instead of being trapped, we create with life, from heart and soul.
In this episode #1 in the Next Phase, On Purpose series - Ep 267: Becoming Something New - we will make sure you: have space + inquiries to shed light, gain insight and be able to articulate what this next phase (however long that is for you) is about. With this wisdom you gain a compass for clarity to make decisions, even in choppy, shifting waters.
Consider this: You are becoming something new ... it's happening, even if you can't see it, you can feel it ... so ask yourself... How can I actively dream and design my desired now reality and future reality, rather than being passively 'dreamt' by external circumstances?
Here's the 3 inquiries we dove into to bring insight to what you are choosing to dream and co-create forward.
There is so much power in proactively choosing to release outdated beliefs and habits that we don't need in the next cycle .... to preserve valuable aspects that still have relevancy and life... and create new opportunities and relationships to support us to evolve.
I invite you to use this conversation and the 3 realms of inquiry as a practice of active dreaming and co-creation. Turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now.
with heart,
Christine

As co-creators one of our roles is to understand that the current cultures, societies and systems are human created. Which means you and I - since we are human - have the capacity and responsibility - to embody the audacity to re-imagine how we and this world works. Now. Even if it appears we have little power to 'do' anything ... as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz realized after seeking wisdom and power outside herself: "The power was within me all along."
One way we 'do' this to flex our "re-imagining muscles" through conversating and imaging possibilityinto reality. Today I'm inviting us to point our collective energy towards one thing we already know about what a healthy, prospering, compassionate culture looks like.
Imagine this: We live in a world who actively engages with and values the 'elders' of the society. People who have lived long enough in a conscious way on this planet to embody wisdom through lived experienced...Good humans who share what they've learned for the evolution and wellbeing of humanity, the planet and all life on it.
In this "Tea with an Elder" episode, I invited Pele Rouge Chadima, co-founder of the Center for Timeless Earth Wisdom, (and one of my primary wisdom teachers for two decades) to discuss Timeless Earth Wisdom and its relevance to current times ... including: how we can use the wisdom of "the natural laws" for navigating and guiding our way through.
Pele has in many ways been a student of earth wisdom and feminine power since she was born (she'll share about this) and has also lived the earth wisdom path for near 50 years, gifted with the "medicine" from her teachers within a long line of indigenous wisdom.
Here's some of the wisdom that emerged through our conversation ...
I re-listened to the conversation myself as part of my morning practice, and it was like calm balm to my heart and a radiance boost for my spirit ... I invite you to join us and receive the wisdom and the energy of knowing we are co-creating with life.

Christine

In changing times, we need wisdom, insight, tools and practices to what I call "stay harmonized" - aka centered, sustained, empowered, clear, connected, calm, radiant, rooted on the inside no matter what chaos is happening on the outside.
In this episode, Harmonized: Staying Centered & Empowered in a Chaotic World, I'll take us through some key inquiries, wisdom teachings and practices you can incorporate into your daily life.
If we can be like a strong tree with deep roots, strong trunk and branches fed by the light, we can sway with the shift vs. get swept into or blown down by the swirl.
Chaos needs our human fear, emotional commotion, righteousness, blame and seperation energy to thrive. If we stop feeding the chaos, it will loose it's power and more people will start to see what is real vs. reacting from the wound. If we stay connected, we are so much more likely to stay centered and feel empowered.
My invitation is to use what we explore and ...
Here are the 4 points - and inquiries you can use daily and in the moments you get affected by the chaos - I'll lead us through:

Join us for this Feminine Power Time, Embracing Life's Jacket : 5 Inquiries to Find Clarity & Courage in Choppy Waters - one of the four Power Pauses we do each year, this one focused on the energy of Equinox, Harmonizing.
Taking a Power Pause quarterly is one of the best practices for decreasing anxiety, increasing clarity, receiving guidance and gaining courage. When we pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, our internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... we gain clarity on how to focus in the coming months + we take a stand to ensure you have the support and structure you need to hold you.
Power pauses are a personal-leadership best practice, and a wise way to run your business, organization and team. Also must if you want to stay centered, sustained and sane in our current world.
Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within the Feminine Wisdom Way Collective, and for leaders of teams, companies and organizations in which we do "Cyclical Strategic Planning."
While the structure of each Equinox power pause is the same, every year we are different and every year the world is different. So I change up the flavor and focus based on what's needed.
This year, I felt compelled to share with you a series of 3 inquiries shared with me by one of my long-time mentors - Pele Rouge Chadima co-founder of Timeless Earth Wisdom. Plus 2 sustainable success and wellbeing inquiries we ask every year at this time.
The wisdom and inquiries have def been a life jacket for staying above the choppy waters of chaos, finding my way back to center when I fall off my 'life raft," and answering the call to what's taking me into bigger waters.
It all centers around "Trusting Life" which is different than "trusting the Universe" .. in subtle but pretty profound ways - both are needed.

In the evolutionary, changing times we live in, we need full access to our "Wise Eyes" more than ever - they give us access to stabilization, co-creation and elevation. They work beyond the 5 senses and our limited mental mind. And they require our attention to expand, evolve and strengthen.
In this episode we: Dive into Intuition + Insight ... two of the four parts of our full spectrum of intelligence ... drop into meditation that clears and connects you with your centers of intelligence ... explore how you can apply this power to your personal experience now to stabilize internally, and open up more of your innate power to see, sense, feel, know, trust and co-create.
Intuition and insight are like internal peace and empowerment medicine for the heart, body, mind and soul.
When we choose to engage with our full spectrum of intelligence, grounded in wholeness, we stop looking outside for certainity, we start seeing things we were blind to, and we start feeling the Presence within us that guides us forward, keeps our unsure parts calm, and ensures we make choices that bring us through any threshold crossing or change, or crazy banana world happenings.

Compassion is one of the most powerful energies we have as leaders of our own lives as well as in our teams, families, organizations, communities, projects and the society we co-create.
But compassion is also one of those things that can feel so vast that we don’t know quite how to employ it – especially in realms like business, our work projects, or in situations that trigger our own defense mechanisms and sense of safety.
One of my super powers is taking big, vast concepts like compassion and breaking them down so we can practically access and use this power in ways that elevate and influence the fields of interaction we find ourselves — within ourselves, with others, the world or a situation we find ourselves in.
Between 2010-2015 I did a deep dive into the “energy” of compassion – to understand it and break it down into what I call the 8 Facets of Compassion. I’ve been practicing and teaching these 8 facets ever since, not as a perfection to live up to, but as a practice and a strategy to come home to.
As I look around at the tools, perspectives, practices that can give us super power NOW to survive, stabilize, and elevate ourselves, and the people, projects, and systems we lead, love and influence, COMPASSION is at the top of the list.
This episode is a little longer because compassion requires us to slow down :) breath :) and get into our bodies and hearts :) Here's some of what we will explore together:

Last Feminine Power Time we talked about the "meta" and "collective" - what the themes, energy and patterns are in the larger field as we go into 2025. This gives us wisdom for how to move through this year.
Today, we turn to the "personal" - what are the themes, awarenesses, perspectives and ways of looking at our lives and our choices within them. So we can walk through 2025 centered, sustained, focused on what matters, using this catalytic time for our good and the good of all. Without burning out, running back to normal or missing the possibility.

At the start of every lunar new year or about three weeks into the calendar year, I tune in to this inquiry "What is the wisdom that can guide us forward into the next year cycle?" First I we look at the "meta/macrocosm" bigger cycles and patterns happening that we are all a part of. Then we zone in to the "personal/microcosm" to discern how we set ourselves up with the support, structure, and strategies ... this is where our personal power and leadership lives.
In this episode, we dive into the macro energies - which are bigger than ever this year. Which is why we are going to lean into of the best wisdom tools and ancient science modalities I know to navigate changing times and the unknown - Evolutionary Astrology.
To gain some insight on: What does this all mean? How do we be?
The macro energies are invisible to our naked eye, but if we have access to langauge for the invisible, and open up our perception to our higher mind and innate knowing, we start to see the bigger patterns at play.
So instead of being whipped around by the meta energies, we gain the insight and power to work with them.
Evolutionary astrology can help us make sense of what's unfolding, find our place in these larger cycles of time, and gain some sanity, clarity and calm to keep us centered for whatever comes.... and most importantly remember how to utllize our creative power, our unique path and our super powers to enjoy the waves of transformation, even if they make us a little sea sick at times:)
I invited a dear friend, teacher, and evolutionary astrologer Shannon Lei Gill, to bring her depth of wisdom on this system that is definitely a game elevator for us in these times.

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head.
Wisdom teaches us to use the practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action... which results in more easeful effort, sustainable success + fluid efficiency (plus keeps us light, which we need during challenging times, to keep us sustained.)
Wisdom requires us to slow down, to hear the insights and guidance. So we practice the "Slow Start Our Year" and intentionally give ourselves space to hear our deeper truth and wisdom.
If we want to access Wisdom vs. just more mental ideas, we need to FEEL not THINK our way forward.
CONSIDER THIS: Your mind can only create what it's done or seen before. If we want things to be different, we have to go deeper - into our hearts, bodies, and "subtle energy" realms.
Which also means we also need something to 'do' -- we can't just sit around and wait for insight to drop in, LOL.
Every January I pull a small set of potent inquiries from the Emerge Visioning process that are like portals into a more expansive possibility, higher intelligence, and guidance. This morning I combed through the inquiries in the Emerge Journal an pulled 5 to get you started visioning, intention setting & focusing for the year to come.
I will walk you through Wisdom inquiries in the podcast + they are posted on my wisdom blog here.
See you there!

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:

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.

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?
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!)
Listening - What's falling off? What's shapeshifting? Where's the momentum taking you?
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.

The word “sane” at its root means “free from mental disturbance.” So how can we free ourselves from mental disturbance in the midst of a world that is swirling with it? While we cannot stop the insanity we see happening in our world and the people within it, there are things we can do to stay sane, sustained, centered and focused on what matters.
In this episode, Christine and Jennifer share four practices for Staying Sane in an Insane World. These are practices to put into place proactively, in how we design our lives, the way we work, think, and operate. They are simple yet mighty structures that will hold us and keep us centered no matter what is happening around us. Here they are:
Our practices give us the space to have our human emotions and release them out of our system so that we can respond from an elevated, higher-frequency, more humane consciousness that opens up people and possibility vs. creating more polarity and unhelpful chaos. Our practices give us wisdom, so that we can use our life force to create the world we desire for ourselves, each other, and those we love, lead, and influence.

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us – individually and collectively – which can lead to healing, breaking down barriers, and breaking through to better realities.
The problem is that most humans weren't taught how to express anger or grief in healthy ways, so it comes out sideways in distorted ways, or it gets stuffed down until we blow up or get sick. Sometimes we are the receiver of that big emotional eruption and other times we are the "unleasher" or "erupter" on someone else.
In this episode, Christine and Jennifer explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from our wounds or the wounds of others, and how to do it differently in ways that lead to wholeness. Together we’ll explore how we can:

So excited to be landing here with you on the 9th anniversary of The Feminine Power Time podcast for a special segue conversation and exploration we navigate and co-create the next - for ourselves, those we guide & influence and the world.
I have been asking myself, "What is next for this podcast? What is next for me? What is next for us?". Which led me to creating the centerpoint of our conversation today: "What is Evolving Within You? Around You?" ... How Do We Create Space for What's Next While Tending to the Now... How Do We Preserve What We've Already Created in Ways that Create Momentum?"
Another way of saying that to yoruself is ... "How do I allow the process to unfold through and around me ... stay attuned to my design ... accept (savor) where I am, while expanding into what is possible, even while I cannot see cleary yet?"
Per usual here at Feminine Power Time, I will share less answers, and more inquiries and perspectives to support us to move through the shifts happening, supporting us to evolve so we can elevate, with grace, power, purpose, sustainability, compassion and wisdom.
First, a personal share on:
Second, practices, inquiries and perspectives to support you to work with what is evolving WITHIN you and AROUND including:

As the world turns and shifts, things seem to go sideways, uncertainty rises, intensity & anxiety wratches up, how do you stay centered, calm and clear? How do you work WITH the energy vs be WORKED OVER by the energy?
These are fundamental inquiries and practices we have been exploring and implementing here at Feminine Power Time since we started this podcast in 2016 ... because we are in transformational times, and during such times, we need access to insight, tools and wisdom to dance through.
Consider this: What if this cycle of time is about breaking free of systemic and self created patterns that no longer serve? So we can rise into realities rooted in harmony, sustainability, wholeness and connection?
And while there may be forces that would do anything to keep things the same, the force of our collective heart power has the ability to lead the way forward into a better world for people & planet?
This is not wishful thikning or spiritual bypassing. It's co-creating the next while we stabilize in the now and heal from the past. Here's what we "do" ...
For this last part in our series, we will shine a light on some of the "Collective" patterns playing out - we are all influenced by these because we are part of the "WE" of people living on the planet. When you can name and see these patterns, they stop having power over you, and you gain power to lead your way and others way through.
Then I will share with you 3 'dance' patterns - wisdom to put it play within your life now to dance through these collective shifts - these can support us to release the things we no longer neeed so we can be free to create and rise into this next evolution - of me + we.

How do we breakthrough patterns and imprints that we are ready to release? What are the practices? What works? How does this invisible transformation actually work to make shifts in the material world?
Consider this: Change takes place over time, but if we can't see the progress, we don't receive the energy we need to stay devoted and focused.
Good news - choosing to engage in what I call "Sacred Transformation" - yours and the worlds, isn't about waiting until all things are perfect and the way you'd like them to be ... that's a path for suffering for sure!
Sacred transformation - when you put the word sacred in front of transformation here's what you get: "change devoted to / for the sake of creating wholeness, without violence to self or others, done with respect." This is a way of working with and breaking through long-held pattern in way we can expereince, receive and I dare say enjoy (even in the struggle) all along the way.
As we see the shifts happening in little ways... we start to feel them in bigger ways... the dense shadow transforms with gratitude into a lighter brigthter frequency that maintains it's depth (and darkness now rooting in wholeness).... and we gain the energy to continue evolving and elevating.

Join Christine Arylo for this Feminine Power Time, 4 Inquiries to Get Your Habits and Choices into Harmony for the Months Ahead. One of the four Power Pauses she shares each year, this one focused on what wise leaders and people do:
Illuminate the imbalances in the different realms of your life - so they don't become drama, disease, disaster and distress
Shift habits and patterns in your daily life that might have been aligned before, but need to shift as you head into this next cycle
Focus on and committ to the intentions, projects, relationships that are ready and ripe to grow and prosper
Set a new rhythm for your day and week that supports and sustains where you are now, and what you are creating and managing these next three months, into June Solstice.
When you pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, your internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... you gain the power to reset habits that might have been okay in months prior but need a shift.
And you gain clarity on how to focus your life force so what you spend your time, energy & money creates what you desire.
Power pauses are leadership best practice, a wise way to run your business, organization or team, and I believe a must if you want to stay sustained and sane in a world in which we feel so much pressure to do so much. And then don’t have what we need to sustain ourselves.
Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within the Feminine Wisdom Way Wisdom School, some virtually, some weekend retreats and some for companies and organizations in which we do "Cyclical Strategic Planning."
I do this because this yearly practice of pausing 4x a year I believe is something most of us where not taught how to do, but when we do it, everything in our life works in better harmony. It’s how I run my life, business, partnership, relationships, and grow what is important to me.
Each power pause has a different focus and flavor depending on the time of the year.
In Feminine Power Time, I can’t share with you entire power pause process for March Equinox but I can give you a 40 minute power pause with 4 simple but mighty inquiries - like a mini Harmony Adjustment for your life
Look at your sacred work and career - what is in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention?
Look at your relationships - what is in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention ?
Look at your health, wealth, home - what in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention now?
What if you chose to create from a place of joy? What would JOY feel like in you or for you?
Bonus. What is ONE habit or pattern in your morning flow that isn't in harmony to keep doing into this next season? RELEASE this. Then what is ONE habit or pattern you can EMBRACE and place into your morning flow this next cycle?
We don’t give up everything or go militant. We choose a few things to elevate and release, and also receive pleasure too.
Tune in.
Listen to the power pause. Journal on the questions.
Invite a friend to do the Power Pause too and ask each other the questions. And support each other to make soul-aligned, supportive, sustainable choices.
With Great Heart

Re-Defining Relationships Podcast - Ep 149 https://christinearylo.com/2021/03/shift-your-relationships-2-of-3/
At the root of all the over-giving and over-self-reliance and much of the burnout and imbalance we experience is a big old old root ball called "OVER RESPONSIBILITY."
We've been imprinted and conditioned by our society and family systems to take OVER Responsibility for the needs of people, projects, and the planet - and we have willingly put way too much on our shoulders and backs, often as an unconscious way to deal with our fear, feelings of being undervalued, and not enough (no matter how outwardly successful things may look).
Consider this: What might have been in alignment to take responsibility for or embrace ownership of as your part, may not be in balance now or going forward.
Wisdom: The systems (both those you create, and those you work and live within) will take everything you give them, and there will still be more to give.
So... until we take a stand of self-advocacy + stop filling the gaps and taking more and more of the burden and responsibility, there is no incentive for anything to change ... in your work, team, family, friends, marriage, projects, even the things you care deeply about on the planet.
Which is why we will dive deeper in Ep 235: Releasing OVER-Responsibility. Embracing Enough. (#3 of 3 in Burnout to Balance Series). Where are you taking OVER responsibility for:
And then go deeper to reveal...
Then we end with a two ways to make it practical in your life now ... see wisdom inquires below. Tune in!

Wisdom Inquiries Action : To balance the imbalance -- What can I Start? Stop? Shift? Practice: Self-Sustainability Stands
I consider what is needed and what I have to/desire to give before I proceed.
If the support and space is not there, I am not moving forward at full-speed.
I stay in co-creation to reveal and proceed on the wise, harmonious path.
I stay present to the real needs and stay focused on my part.
I remember Grace is at the center of all challenges.
I glide from Grace. I move from strength.
Many of us operate like banks that give more withdrawls than deposits, resulting in imbalances in our relationships, wellbeing, money, jobs, businesses and projects that lead to undue suffering, struggle, and sacrifice.
We OVERgive - time, energy, resources, care, and mindshare -- to projects, people, our passion and our purpose. We UNDERReceive the time, energy, resources, care and mindshare we need and desire. As a result, eventually we burnout, become resentful, get sick and discouraged, or quit.
We don't SEE the imbalance or the ways we OVEReffort, work, extend, etc. until we get to the drama, distress or dis-ease.
One of the breakthroughs I discovered in all my research around burnout and sustainable success and wellbeing is that we don't have to wait until the extreme imbalance hits our bodies, beings, bank accounts, relationships or brains. We can use the power of Cyclical Living to pause (usually around March Equinox) and take a look around our life, work, relational, & wellbeing design, illuminate the imbalances, and then take simple but significant steps to make shift happen.
Wisdom: If you can reveal the specific ways you overgive, you become empowered to shift the imbalances.
Which is what we will do together in this Ep 234: Where Are You OVERGiving & UNDERReceiving? (#2 of 3 in Burnout to Balance Series). Where are you:
And then go deeper to reveal...
I do this survey of the landscape of my life, projects, relationships, purpose and work every year, because every year there is a new insight and something new to work with that supports me to do and see things differently. Tune in!

Self esteem, self confidence, ability to take care of oneself, sovereignty, self sufficient ... these are all good things to possess and embody. Monikers of internal strength. However, when one thing become over-used or valued, or the other side of the spectrum isn't present, things get out of whack, our lives and bodies become imbalanced, and we get stuck in situations and chronic challenges that keep us in survival or stress mode.
Consider this: "We have become so self-sufficient as self-empowered humans that we have become overly self-reliant."
Most people I encounter suffer from this invisible dis-ease of Over Self Reliance, we feel it but don't have the words to see it, and therefore transform it. We become so used to doing whatever needs doing, we don't pause to consider what help we need to do it. We don't consider if we don't have the resources we need, maybe we shouldn't take it on. We've grown so accoustomed to fight for what we need or just barely scrape by that we've gotten used to making do and doing more ourselves.
And honestly, there have been many times you and I have needed support or help, and it just wasn't there. That has been our shared reality. Yet, we are each being invited to shake off the over-self-reliance to find a more balanced exchange ... even if we cannot see how that is possible, yet.
Ask yourself: Where may I be operating from over self-reliance? One I may have needed before, but that now, at this phase in my reality, is not serving me?
WISDOM: Where you are OVER self-reliant, you are also UNDER supported, UNDER cared for and UNDER connected.
Today we kick off a series I've named From Burnout to Balance ... to illuminate the invisible ways we are operating like banks giving more withdrawls than receiving deposits, resulting in imbalances that lead to undue suffering, struggle, and sacrifice.
We start with Ep 233: Goodbye OVER Self-Reliance where we dive into:
I will also walk you through inquiries to get clear on where over self-reliance is impacting you. Together we can all release this generational pattern and find the new ways to create relationships and realities that by nature create harmony and balance. So your radiance, briliance and light is supported for many years to come.
See you there, Christine

Last Feminine Power Time we talked about the "meta" and "collective" - what the themes, energy and patterns are in the larger field as we go into 2024. This gives us wisdom for how to move through this year.
Today, we turn to the "personal" - what are the themes, awarenesses, perspectives and ways of looking at our lives and our choices within them. So we can walk through 2024 centered, sustained, focused on what matters, using this catalytic time for our good and the good of all. Without burning out, running back to normal or missing the possibility.
Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, 2024, Part Two. Find & Keep Your Shine in the Stretch.
I'll share with you a series of themed wisdom and inquiries + practices that I'm applying myself and using with all the leaders and communities I work with.
I will also take you through some embodied integration of the wisdom, so it really lands in your body, being and brain.
Here are some of the Wisdom Pearls you can put in your pocket to guide your choices now and in the months to come - use these proactively + also in the moments when you get the internal wobbles, or the external world or circumstances threaten to pull you into the swirl.

Every year in January I wait to do a special Feminine Power Time that looks into the year ahead - to give us wisdom, insight, focus and practices for the now, and what's coming next.
2024 is an 8 year - connected to the energy of Internal Strength + Shining our Light while making sure we are deeply rooted into what keeps us centered, stable, vibrant and aligned. It's also a wood Dragon year - which signals transformative growth and elevation, supported by the feminine (water) and strong natural structure (earth). These archetypes + what the natural cycles are indicating + the commonalities I am sensing form the themes, focuses and inquiries I'll share with you.
Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead - in two parts. Part 1 focusing on giving you insight into the bigger meta themes + powerful inquiries you want to be asking yourself so you co-create a reality that keeps you centered, aligned, radiant and stable as you let go + grow. Episode #231: Finding Your Strength in The Stretch.
Wisdom to Consider: Stability & safety cannot be created in the mind. Stability & safety can come through the body, which then informs and calms the mind and heart.
Note: If you are listening to this later, no worries, it is still all relevant. It's about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up.
Themes Emerging as we Find Our Strength in the Stretch.
Tune in with me. Bring paper to write the themes & Wisdom inquiries to contemplate (also posted below).

CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY + CO-CREATING SUPPORT
WISDOM INQUIRIES
What parts of me or ways I operate need to be let go or shapeshiftd so I can evolve & elevate?
What can I lean into to keep me stable as I stretch to grow & let go?
What support & structure can I root into to cultivate harmony within me, so I stay centered mind, body, heart and spirit this year?
Where am I still trying to do it on my own? What actions could I take or practices could I put into place to strengthen my connection?

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head.
Wisdom teaches us to use the power and practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action... which results in more easeful effort, sustainable success + fluid efficiency (plus delight, which we need during challenging times, to keep us going!)
One way you can do this is the Year-End Power Pause - taking the full month of January to 'tune in' - feel, sense, tap into intuition and the heart -- to find clarity on your intentions, what's in right timing, and what support & structure you need to receive for the coming year.
If we want to access Wisdom vs. just more mental ideas, we need to FEEL not THINK our way forward. CONSIDER THIS: Your mind can only create what it's done or seen before. If we want things to be different, we have to go deeper - into our hearts, bodies, and "subtle energy" realms.
In January, I always do a Power Pause episode that takes us through a series of wisdom inquires to contemplate. This year we will use 2 inquiries, and use them to tune into the 4 realms of your whole life.
Every year the inquires are different, because every year, we need different inquiries to lead us to the aligned possibilities and most supported actions.
I comb through the inquiries we use in the EMERGE Visioning Process + the women's leadership councils, to find the ones to open your visioning, intention setting & focusing for the year to come.
Tune in for episode 230:Year Start Power Pause: Tune into What Matters Most & Where the Momentum Is.

Purposeful Patience. What is it? How can we work with it? And why is it something you might benefit from putting into practice in how you approach how you go about achieving your goals + bringing your ideas, desires and projects into fruiition + creating a consistent sense of wellbeing, even during intensity and uncertainty? Just that :)
For the past two years I have been practicing Purposeful Patience. It was the theme and mantra in 2022. Each year I/we choose/receive a yearly theme/centerpoint in the Emerge Visioining Process - like "The Year of Purposeful Patience" or "The Year of Embodying Radiant Grace." (2021) or "Creating & Receiving from Momentum" (2023)
I decided to replay this episode of Feminine Power Time: 200: Purposeful Patience: Practicing the Ease Over the Rush, because I needed it again this year ... and I thought you might benefit as well.
I love the practice of choosing a centerpoint and over-arching theme and then working with it intentionally all year. It becomes a guidepost and a portal into deeper wisdom that can support us to create realities that are more aligned with our design and desires. If you stick with it as an active practice, by the end of the year, you have SO much more embodied wisdom, trust and insight on how to do things differently.
Somethings to know about Purposeful Patience.
Purposeful patience is not sitting around waiting for life to happen. It's not a platitude like "Patience is a Virutue."
Purposeful patience is a co-creative choice to live in alignment with the natural flow and unfoldment of your life, purpose, projects, and processes.
The practice of purposeful patience reduces anxiety, the wasting of resources and time, and the self-inflicted pressure that stresses our minds, bodies, hearts, and spirits.
Consider this: Would you more ease (comfort and convenience) or more rush (haste, progress with speed and violence), hustle (shake, push, shove), or busy (meddlesome, toil) in your life this next year?
Here's some of what we'll explore:
A few pearls of wisdom to play with and try on:
And two co-creative practices:
Enjoy playing with purposeful patience in your life - love to hear what you learn.

The Lost Track of Time by Paige Britt - https://www.paigebritt.com/read-my-books
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) our impact, growth & progress, would be just plain crazy :)
Plus honoring feels great!
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.
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 - 229: The Year-End Honoring 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 living the full month of December intentionally - connected to what matters, working with the energy of the season in ways that support your wellbeing in all ways - emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, spiritually and relationally. So come the start of the next roman calendar year, you felt fresh, radiant, clear and centered ... ready to receive what is to come.
Consider this Wisdom: In the absence a different option, we often revert to what we've done before or what the pull of the mainstream culture dictates. Only when you have a different choice, with practical application and things to 'do,' do you break free of unsupportive patterns and habits, and gain the power to create the reality you desire to be living.
I know... that is a big piece of wisdom to take it. Because it's so foundational.
Which is why this month, I'm dedicating the entire set of podcasts to things you can 'do' in December at year end that support you to complete the year strong, clear, proud and connected to what matters .... vs. the alternative of the crazy banana world that has so many options and distractions that cause us to drain our energy, bank accounts, life force, etc. and OVER excess in ways that can never quell the deeper desire underneath.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time - 228: The Year-End Release: Clear Out Now So You're Set Up for Next Year, I will walk you through 3 practices I do every December to:
plant the seeds for what you want to manifest and experience next year in projects, career, relationships, so they are there waiting for you to re-engage with. I'll share and take you through 3 Releasing practices:
Release Twiggly Danglers - clearing these out. Choose 1 relationship. Choose either your money or body and action to embrace the twiggly dangler into harmony.
I so love this practice! May it bring you peace, possibility and power.

When I think about the power of the last 4 weeks of the year we are completing, and the first 4 weeks of the year to come, I wonder what it would be like if our culture reflected and supported people to: turn inward to their creativity ... turn toward each other in meaningful connectivity... and to tune into their body/mind/heart/spirit for what they needed to restore and regnerate at deep levels.
I imagine a world in which we were taught that these last 4 weeks of a year cycle have so much wisdom and freedom to give us ... if we create the space to reflect and honor all we have done and become ...
And as we turn toward the next cycle consciously consider what we choose to release and leave behind ... so as we step into the next cycle, we can more fully co-create the next while living the now.
Last year, I realized that I had been doing year-end podcasts and blogs since 2007 - focused on avoiding holiday overwhelm, starting and ending the year differently, living with the cycles, completing the year clear ... so much wisdom and practice there still totally relevant - I put these episodes in the Series Library for You Here.
This year ... I tuned into what we needed to support us in this bigger cycle shift we are headed into, to elevate the conversation, and open ourselves up to the co-creative power that is here for us ... if we create the space.
Here's the Wisdom I Received:Create Space for Inspired Creativity + Meaningful Connectivity + Restoring Your Deeper Wellbeing
Tune in and I'll lead you through this to apply in your life and reality now, including:
It's a juicy way to open to receive in ways that keep on giving, even after Jan 1, in ways that don't add calories or credit card debt :)

"Synchroncity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see." - Carl Jung
I love synchroncity - it's like gold in the bank that never loses it's value, and always keeps be feeling secure and stable, no matter what. - Christine Arylo :)
When I can see the meaningful connections happening around me and for me, my faith reserves fill, anxiety and stress release. I feel held and guided. So when get a case of the wobbles, or things seem to be going sideways, or I feel stuck, or I am headed to despair about the state of the world, I can find the threads to pull myself back to center and lift above the fray and connect to a higher frequency.
Consider this: In the chaos and uncertainity of our world, it can be really easy to end up with cloudy eyes that make it impossible to see (and believe) the magic. Our normal high-vibe, wise eyes which can see what is real can become glazed over or bewildered by all of the goop from the distorted mainstream world. Gooped up, our internal frequency drops into the tanker, takes us off our path, and gives our energy and chi to the chaos.
Wisdom #1: If you don't have something deeper within you, and more real holding you, insecurity is going to invade your internal ecosystem and try to take over.
Which is exactly why we are grabbing a hold of our practical magic wisdom book, volume S, today ... S for Synchronicity and Security.
Wisdom #2: When you can see and feel the synchronicities happening around and for you, you start to see the patterns that can lead you to new possibilities, wisdom & realitites.
When you can see possibility + feel the presence of grace + see the magic connections and occurences happening, the fluctations of the markets, the current state of world affairs, the changes out of your influence, start to hold less power over you. They still might cause a flare up, but they won't take you down. Synchronicity spotting and actively cultivating the environment for synchroncities to emerge are practical magic practices ... they are one way we can feel more secure in an ever shifting world. If we remember to look for them, believe in them, and actively create the ecosystems they can thrive in.
Tune into Feminine Power Time Episode #226: Finding Security in Synchronicity: Create the Environment to Keep Seeing & Feeling Your Magical Connection
See you there!

Imagine a world in which creativity, beauty, collaboration, & wellbeing were the major values of the society we lived in. A culture that by nature was efficient, created sufficiency for all, and kept itself in balance & harmony.
Stay with me ... this is not a fairy tale or pollyana dream .... I am talking about humans choosing to create societies, systems, businesses, industries, etc. that mimic how the natural world (and we as part of it) thrive and grow best.
Wisdom: Humans made the systems that make up our culture, which means we have the power to create different systems, rooted in healthier values, to create a culture that can work for all. This starts with our own choices and voices, and then within the families, teams, and ecosystems we influence.
Not easy ... for sure a challenge... but possible.
In the realm of magic, there are these things called "rings pass not" -- sticking points that keep you stuck in a reality. To get out of the reality that no longer works, you have to illuminate (see) to liberate (free) to elevate (create). TIME is a top ring pass not ... that can become a "power point." A power point is a focus point that if we take our "muggle glasses" off (that see through smudgy lenses of fear, scarcity & greed) and put on our "magical spectacles" (that see things clearly) empower us to do things differently.
When we see clearly, we can locate where we have the power to distrupt the current reality, transform & shift the sh$# that keeps us stuck, and then co-create a different reality and world. Starting with small every day ways.
Wisdom: "When you change your relationship to time, you'll not only be more productive, you'll become more empowered to create the space you need and crave. The Wise Ones know the truth about time and the secrets to creating space, and we choose to work with both. "
Tune into Feminine Power Time Episode #225: Time Magic: The Power & Practice of Moving from Producitivity to Creativity (#2 of 3 in Practical Magic Series).
I will walk you through a series of R's this week - wisdom + practices - for how to free yourself from the time matrix rooted in a culture obsessed with producitivity to a more natural way to get stuff done + savor your life along the way.
See you there!

Imagine a world in which in addition to math, we and all children were taught about how to work with and apply magic to our day to day lives. Not to pull coins out of our ears, or cast spells on people, but the TRUE meaning and energy of magic.
In this world, people know, trust and value tuning into the subtle realms of insight, feeling, senses, intuition, grace - things we can't see with our eyes but we for sure feel with our bodies and hearts. In this world, synchroncity is the flow for how we roll. No pushing rocks up hills or over-asserting wlll to make stuff happen.
When we work with true magic, the elements work with us and with us to create more ease, alignment and grace, even in the tricky, challenging parts.
You know here at Feminine Power Time we are not waiting for others to create this world, we are choosing to re-imagine, re-design and co-create the realities we know are possible now.... which can also be tricky and challenging.
Magic helps us notice and recognize patterns. One pattern I see is how many of us are experiencing the call to / need to LET GO and RELEASE things - relationships to others, to organziations, to how we do things, how we think, where we live, how we live, what we do for work, how we communicate, etc (also tricky and challenging .... hear the theme?)
As we get the call to release the old, what no longer serves, what needs to shift, etc. we often resist and struggle, we can get lost and confused, we can give up defeated, and waste alot of life force.
SO how about this ... Tune into Feminine Power Time Episode #224: The Magic of Letting Go: The 5Gs for Releasing with Grace. (#1 of 3 in Practical Magic Series).
See you there!

The New Moon Reset is one of those practices that if you weave it into the rhythm of your life, you won't believe how you could have ever lived without it. It's a must for those of us who choose to cultivate a centered, connected, clear presence and perspective, even within the chaos.
During these times, we can expect the world is going to go wavy gravy ... that humans are going to horrible things to other humans and the planet ... that the changes we are going through are individually and collectively are going to stir up anxiety, fear and all the feels.
It won't always be this way (AND we are in transitory times), and there are many other really beautiful signs that humanity is elevating, choosing love and compassion ... the mainstream news just doesn't cover those so much (which is why we create alternatives which do!)
A question to ask ourselves is - how do we choose to walk through these times? How can we be with what is, and also keep our fierce hearts open, faced forward, our vision for what is possible alive, and our thoughts clear? How do we stay light and lifted when the world or people go low?
A response is: we lean into, apply, and use the practices rooted in wisdom for how we as people and planet naturally work best. Not as more to do's, but as the HOW we do our daily, weekly, monthly, yearly lives and how we make our choices, big and small... so we can show up as the leaders, co creators and elevators.
Ep 223 of Feminine Power Time: The New Moon Reset is one of our Stay Harmonized Practice episodes, where I share/teach a specific practice and then use the power of inquiry, transmissions and somatic experience to make it real and relevant to you today.
Tune into today and:
See you there! Christine

The third part of any power pause is always about gaining clarity about what REALLY matters to you, so you and Realign and Refocus. When I say what matters, what I mean is what matters in your heart, spirit and body (the mind is not helpful in this realm, because it's job is to sort, it does not sense into what is real, aligned or life-energizing for you.)
What became so evident to me in my research around the roots of burnout, overwhelm, workstyle bias, & self-sacrifice and the real path to creating sustainable success & whole lives that foster true wellbeing is this:
Most people make the mistake of focusing on finding more time - "If I just had more time. I need to find time. When I have more time..." This will only keep you in scarcity, lack and slaving away to the now.
The Wise ones know that the super power is in Creating SPACE within our NOW to co-create the next.
Which is exactly what I am going to guide you through in Part 2 of the Equinox Power Pause - although you can do this anytime and work with the next 3-4 month cycle ahead.
I will lead us through a 3-inquiry (plus bonus one) process, including visualization and meditation so you can really FEEL into your heart what matters and

Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter.

What do you 'do' when you find yourself in a time when the pressure is alot, the pace is intense, there's a lot happening - whether it's stuff you are excited about or stuff that's dragging you down? How do you move through it without becoming overwhelmed by it?
Pressure and stress are part of life - but there is a difference between toxic pressure and stress that makes you sick and creates distress, and healthy pressure that stretches and supports you to grow.
The notion that you should be able to stay strong and push through when the pressure increases is actually a program for self sacrifice, burnout, and isolation - one I invite you to release. And instead embrace this as the new design: YOU receive the support, space, and true strength you need, desire and require during times when the pressure is high.
There's a different way to 'do' pressure, and a much healthier way to relate to the pressures coming at you - in ways that are more empowering, human and balanced. There is a lot of pressure that comes at you that is NOT yours to take on, and that you have more choice than you know to say No Thank You Pressure Making Monsters!
Consider this: If you want to do more than manage through pressure and intense times, you have to be able to SEE THE SOURCE of the pressure in order to gain the wisdom of how to work with it, in ways that empower you to receive the benefits without crossing the boundary into toxic distress.
Tune into Feminine Power Time: #220: Feeling Pressure? What to "Do" When You are In It
Together we will explore these three inquiries, to shine a light on where you have the power to release pressure, create space, and dance through or surrender into the change, challenge or situations you find moving through:

Self Empowerment.... Be Empowered... Own your Power ... Stand in your power ... these are words that we see and hear alot more these days, but what does embodying our power really mean? What is self-empowerment? What does sovereignty have to do with all of this?
How do you know if you are coming from your pure power rooted in wholeness or distorted power rooted in woundedness?
How do you reveal where you are giving your power away - leaking power - in subtle but signifcant ways?
I've been exploring, researching and teaching self-empowerment as one of the 10 branches of self-love for over a decade. I started studying power and realized pretty quickly how distorted our cultural concepts and expressions of power are. And I dove deep into where we as humans, give away our power in unconscious ways. Or express power in distorted ways that actually diminish our influence.
Most of us are blind to where we lack self empowerment or we give away our power, or over-rely on distorted power in ways that don't serve us. All of which has a big impact on our careers, relationships, wellbeing, financial reality - we just don't see the connection with the 8th branch of self-love, self-empowerment.
Which is why I over the years I have created new defintions of power and sovereignty, practices to strengthen both, and ways to reveal where our leaks and strengths lie.
And why I decided to re-run this episode - as a self-empowerment check up! Originally part of the Self Love Series Episodes #178-181.
Here is an appetizer for starters - the definition of self-empowerment I crafted as part of the self-love tree:
Self-empowerment is choosing to take care of and responsiblity for your life by acting to create the life you really desire, without apology or requiring approval from others.
In this episode of Feminine Power, Self Empowement: How Are You Leaking Your Power or Discounting Your Value? :
I'll guide you through some self-reflection inquiries as well. If you have the Madly in Love With ME book or Overwhelmed and Over It, grab them as I'll be referencing them in our conversation and exploration.
And come over the Feminine Wisdom Cafe where I've posted the full definition of Sovereignty and we're inviting everyone to share what Sovereignty means to them.
See you there!

What does Sovereignty Mean to You?
Here's the Self Love Tree one more time.
Have you ever considered that while we can do and be anything, you can't do it all at the same time. And honestly, if it's not in your design, even if you make it to your goal, it will feel empty and your lifeforce & energy will be emptied.
The dance between your soul path and career path is where the magic, meaning and sustainability live. Do you know what your soul path has to do with charting your career path and allowing it to unfold for you?
This is a pretty big topic, which could be it's own series. But I sat with what would most serve us to dive into support you in the NOW while you create the next ... in your career path, your life design and the way you focus your leadership for the most meaningful impact.
Imagine a world in which we grew up understanding our soul path... and had tools for staying on it, staying true to ourselves, knowing ourselves, defining success for ourselves, trusting ourselves, and making choices that were in alignment for our unique design, even if that meant disappointing another, distrupting the status quo, or daring to step out of our comfort zone, and into uncharted territory.
That's what we are up to in this Feminine Power Time: #219: How Your Soul Path & Career Path Dance Together. #3 of 3 in the Align to Your Design Series.
Consider this: The invisible - mystical, intuitive within you - is as powerful & essential as the visible - material, intellectual imprinted into you - to making choices that keep you aligned to your unique and true carer path & life design.
When you sense & feel forward vs. just think forward, you naturally create in tune with your dharma, desires and destiny.
Some of what we will explore:
I as usual make this all personal with a series of illumination inquries, woven throughout that you can take into your life, contemplate, journal and conversate them with another to bring forth the wisdom your soul truth is wanting to show you.
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 your 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, time to a system, including care-giving & creative expression, as well as the jobs & roles we play within organizations and professions.
Then remember this: You and I have the power to co-create culture.
Culture is defined as: the total range of activities and ideas of a group of people with shared traditions, which are transmitted and reinforced by members of the group. The root of the word culture means to "cultivate a place" or "to till a place." Like a field.
Our power starts with choosing to intentionally cultivate the culture of our individual place/reality. Then the family/relational systems we live in. Then the team ecosystem we work in. Then the organizational, community & social ecosystems we swim in.
Consider this: Rather than wait for the big ecosystem to shift to creating a culture who builds how we work based on what we need as humans to cultivate and maintain a strong foundation of wellbeing... we can embrace our power of "harmonic defiance" and make small shifts that lead to bigger shifts to bring how we work and where we work into alignment with all realms of our wellbeing.
As Glinda the Good Witch says to Dorothy "You had the power within you all along!" My role is illuiminating where that personal power is. Tune into #2 of 3 in our series: Align to Your Design. Episode #218: Align Your Work with Your Wellbeing,
We'll explore these 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. It's like being an orca in the ocean ... what needs to be true about the environment, other creatures, & your part in where and how you work going forward?
See you there!

What is your "design?" What does that even mean? And why does knowing and having language for your innate design and the evolution of your design have everything to do with having a north star for how you make decisions in what you do, and how you do it in every part of your life?
This is not about what color your parachute is, or a what your sun sign is (although fun to know, these surface level dips into ourselves are not the same about understanding the depth and full tapesty and spectrum of your design).
Consider this: Every body is different. Our dharma, our karma, our gifts, our paths, our lessons, our self expression. Yet, when it comes to career, lifestyle, wellbeing, money, relationships, we are shown images, prescriptions, expectations for success vs. taught how to tune into and stay true to our unique design.
So of course, wouldn't it be wise to know as much as we can about our design? So the paths we choose and the choices we make create the sustainable realities that create the environments that are essential for our unique wellbeing and sense of meaning?
Yes :) Which is why we're embarking on this 3-part series: Align to Your Design, where we explore Career, Life, Wellbeing & Leadership Design on a deeper level.
Where your design and your desires meet is the key to the focus for the next phase and cycle of your path.
The first episode focuses on Career, Vocation and Your Work in the World, and sharing elevated language, metaphors, inquiries and stories to open up your mind and tap more deeply into your design, now.
We will set up the full series with a wisdom teaching on getting off the Do More Be More Rat Race, and back to the operating system of Choosing What's Right for You.
Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to
We'll also explore your Polymathic nature ... a different way to think about Purpose ... why what you feel called to doesn't always come true ... the difference between putting livelihood and money at the center of our careers.

Every year around the day known as Independence Day in America, I like to tap into the energy of freedom and liberation to bring forth the wisdom, practices and inspiration for all of us ... so we can use the freedom mojo to break free from what might be holding us back, and liberate us to imagine and design the path and possibility forward.
This is a co-creative practice - a practice I engage in to co create the now and the next. I come back to this liberation and freedom energy every year at this time because if we are evolving, stretching and expanding we can expect resistance and struggle, but we don't want it to stop us.
One way we exterminate the interference is by expanding so much into the possibility, it just cannot take the light!
This year I was really feeling we could all use a boost of heart power to clear out the interference and break our consciousness & creativity free, so we can feel the possibility as reality, so much so that it gives us momentum to fuel and focus us forward.
Consider this: The consciousness that got you here, cannot take you to what you are thirsting for, what's calling you, what you want to feel and experience next. But if you are feeling it within you, it is real. So we expand to elevate.
Here's the 3 parts we'll explore and bring into your life now in practical ways to

One of the smartest things we can do at the mid year point is to pause, reflect, realign and redesign what we are going to focus our life force, resources and time on. This is true for how you run your work life - business, team, organization, career, classroom, etc. And how you run your personal life - wealth, health, home, relationships. For SO many reasons.
This is what I call taking a Power Pause. It's a personal and team leadership practice and a core sustainable success principle. It's how we make sure we create realities that are both successful in what we desire to create and cause AND that are sustainable.
It's also a best practice for getting out of overwhelm and the feelings that you are never doing enough or have enough.
I've been doing Power Pauses myself for a decade and every year at this time I teach mid year power pauses, which I call FLOW for focus your life force on what matters, in many different forms. A virtual program/retreat, in person retreats and for women's leadership groups and teams within organizations.
For you my beloved Feminine Power Time listener, 4x a year I do these special Power Pause episodes that include a series of inquiries that are like a Power Pause appetizer. They give you a taste of the full process, and enough of a taste to give you some wisdom bytes about what you truly desire this coming year.
In this episode, "215:POWER PAUSE: Honor Your Progress & Reveal What's Working (or Not) for You", I will share:
I'll take you through 6 inquiries focused in 2 realms -- Feel Good about where you are now (honoring your progress and choices) and Feel Forward to Right For You Next to reveal what wisdom & changes about your design & desires is trying to get your attention.
INSPIRED ACTION>>> I listed the inquires below. A. Journal on them. B. Share the Podcast with a friend or your partner to share about them. C. Receive the benefit of the mid year Power Pause, 4-step process, do in your life - learn more http://www.FlowPowerPause.com
**INQUIRIES:
FEEL GOOD NOW: Looking back at the first part of this year ... acknoweldge and honor:**
1. PROGRESS: Consider the shifts, changes, desires, goals, projects, relationships, etc. that you have been giving energy, time, resources and care to ... "I celebrate that I've made progress in ..."**
2. PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL CHOICES: Consider the choices you made internally in the past 6 months, or even last year, that you are now experiencing momentum, movement or physical manifestation in... "I acknowledge & honor that the choice I made to XYZ is now XYZ."
3. MORE PLEASE: What would I love to keep doing, going, flowing, growing this second part of the year?
FEEL FORWARD: Reveal what's working & not - in the 3 main realms of your life of personal foundation (home, health, wealth, practices), relationships + sacred work/career/self-expression so you can make shifts for the next
4. DRAIN: What is draining me? What no longer feels sustainable?
5. SUSTAIN:What is sustaining me? What is giving me energy? Where do I feel the energy?
6. GET WISE & RE-ALIGN : What does all this tell me? What are my feelings and responses revealing about the design of my life, work, relationships, that is not working? About what is working? What am I really desiring to create - to not do and to do differently?

At the start and midpoint of the year I always like to pause and put on my "wisdom goggles" to see what is really going on in the world - behind what we can see what our logical eyes or within the our day to day lives. I do this because it helps me see the bigger patterns that are going on... to see beyond the screens of frenzy and chaos ... and to see how what i call 'the banana world' is affecting me in ways I may not be noticing.
I also take this pause with my super powered wisdom goggles to trace where the energy is going in the collective culture ... and how and if I want to respond to it. Which informs me so much on how I choose to focus my life force.
I created this Feminine Power Time #214: Feminine Wisdom for Living in a Banana World, as a sort of mini power pause to stop and take a look around you and what is happening in the world ... not to be overwhelmed by it, but as an observer who is at choice about how you want to interact within it.
I invite you into this practice today as one of the primary practices you can strengthen to stay rooted and stable in the now, while you navigate the new, and make sure you don't get affected or infected by the banana world energy that can drain you and distract you without you even realizing it.
I also will walk you through a process/meditation that cues you into how the banana world might be amping up unhelpful energies for you ... in whatever threshold or challenges and changes you may be in... and then take you through a 4-step practice I call Fear Shifting.
See you there!

One of the biggest reasons so many of us can feel so busy, overwhelmed, fragmented, pulled in a million directions ... like no matter how hard we work or how much we do, we just can't reach our goals ... is because we are operating from half-power vs. whole-power.
So we over work, over effort, try to do too much, choose careers or paths that are not aligned for us.
We operate like speed boats vs sail boats - we are moving so fast, focused on the next, we can't even savor what we've worked so hard or given so much to create or take care of.
Or we are adrift like lost boats out at sea, without the focus and intentional steps to ride the waves and let the wind carry us to our aligned path.
There is a different way ... if we can access some of our full power spectrums. I'm over the moon excited to share with you two power spectrums that give us a path to Do Less. Receive More. Achieve a Greater Impact (while savoring the process!)
1: Strategic Surrender 2: Focused Fluidity Tune into #3 of 3 in our What is the Feminine? And why do we need it? Series. #213: The Power of Strategic Surrender & Focused Fluidity. These two power spectrums brings in the feminine, marry it with the masculine. and creates the HOW we can stay focused on our goals, missions, people we care for ... in a way that we can savor the process... make progress through momentum ... and achieve the kind of success that includes wellbeing of planet and people.
Consider this: Success without wellbeing, or having the space to savor the process, is not success.
Some of what we will dive into...
I will also walk you through applying the power of strategic surrender + focused fluidity to an area of your life now.
See you there.
Christine
p.s. >> REQUEST - SHARE this podcast with a friend and then PLAY with the two power spectrums to see what wisdom emerges when you apply strategize and surrender AND intentional focus and intuitive fluidity to the situation.

Where young women and girls, and all humans, are taught how to discern between their internal knowing, wisdom and truth?
Make decisions that not only make logical sense, they make heart sense .... the kind that keeps us aligned on our path ... the kind that gives us the courage to speak up, stand up and do things differently?
I think we can co create this reality now - but we need new language, understanding and each other.
Consider this: There is SO much power in expanding our understanding, trust in and value system of what true intelligence is.
So much power in doing what Joesph Campbell called following your bliss, and what I call follow your heart wisdom AND don't be a dummy pants :)
So much power in knowing how to tune into the 4 parts of our full spectrum of intelligence - instincts, intuion, insight and intellect.
Self trust. Creative strategic planning that supports creativity + productivity. Making choices in careers, & relationships that lead to less suffering & anxiety and more aliveness and ways to express our creative genius.. Speaking up. Just to name a few.
The mind & intellect are not built to tap into creativity and possibility, or even make wise choices. Our minds can only see what we've done before or seen others do. The intellect alone will make all kinds of things that are bad for our world (atomic bombs and AI to name two).
When we choose to honor, value, access, embody, employ this feminine energy of intuitive intelligence & heart wisdom... we open up the field of possibilty and creativity... we bring more heart power onto the planet... and the Universe starts showing up to show us the way to create realities that reflect the good and beautiful in humanity.
Tune into the second in the series is 212: The Power of Intuitive Intelligence & Heart Wisdom
Some of what we will dive into...
I will also walk you through a short 4 inquiry contemplation to apply heart wisdom and intuitive intelligence.
See you there.

I named the podcast Feminine Power Time for a reason. Even though the word 'feminine' throws or turns off many people (which is part of the reason I knew I needed to keep the name!) Even those of us that get to a point in which we get we need the feminine, want it and cherish the feminine can have a hard time understanding what it is, practically.
What do you do with the feminine?
How can it help me in my career? My relationships? Choices?
Is it really even relevant to business? and big issues like global warming and the education and safety of our children?
The short answer. Yes. We are just very ignorant (and imprinted) to not value or understand it.
One of my supers powers is taking big concepts and esoteric wisdom and breaking them down. Putting language, visuals, practices, models to it, so we can access this really potent wisdom and energy in our lives, and for all that we care about in the world.
The "feminine" first found me in 2006, after my first super woman sob in which all I was trying to do to have success in my business, mission and life was not working (more on that in the podcast).
Since then, I have studied it, explored it, experimented, and been educated and initiated into some of the most powerful energy I didn't know existed, but that was there within me all along.
For 17 years, I have seen how the feminine is the medicine needed to end at least two big epidemics - 1. burnout of the planet and people 2. the 'not enoughness' that drives so many peoople and young girls to so much unnecessary anxiety, self judgement, etc.
I also believe with all my heart that if we embody and apply the feminine, it brings the distortions of our current systems and society into balance and harmony ... and we start seeing HOW to create different realiities, that are rooted in value systems that honor the wellbeing of all people and this planet.
This is not airy hope ... this is practical application of straight up wisdom.
Tune in and join me for our inagural series in our 8th year ... What is the Feminine and Why Do We Need it?
The first in the series is 211: The Power of Stillness & Space Holding.
I will set us up for the series + we will dive into more including:
The feminine does like to be a bit of a mystery - so less words and bullet points. You will just have tune in for more.
See you there.
Christine

CONVERSATION STARTERS: Where are you under-valuing your Space Holder leadership and expression? what do you choose to value differently as an act of Harmonic Defiance?

There is a lot of talk & information about wellbeing, presence, mindfulness, getting good sleep, eating well and self-care ... alot of which can be good and helpful, and alot can also be overwhelming and like more to do's in an already full life.
Here at Feminine Power Time we get to the roots of wellbeing by applying wisdom to the choices we make every day ... including the practices, choices and routines that have way more influence over how we feel, how we show up, and how others perceive and receive us than we know.
As we embark on our 8th year here at Feminine Power Time - I wanted to take a pause to bring practical application to our theme for this year: Rooting and Rising in Radiance, that enables and empowers us to actually live that theme into reality.
It's the choices we make in our every day that determine how we feel and live throughout our days.
Contemplate this: Which every day choices are supporting your radiance + your capacity to show up as your best self? Which are draining your radiance or driving you to react to people or situations that does not reflect your best self?
When I say "practice" it can help to think about practices in two categories:
Tune into episode #210 - Keep Your Radiance Strong & Light - 3 Practices to Play With and then try these three practices in your day to day. These are three practices I use in my day to day too!
I so look forward to sharing this wisdom with you, and hearing what happens as you play with them.

It's hard to believe that today I can share with all of you that this month marks the 7th year anniversary of Feminine Power Time, and since I believe in living by the wisdom, perspectives and practices I share and we work with here, I invite you to join me for the kind of pause that would do us all (and the world) so much good...
One: Pausing to Savor what we create. Acknowledge what is already here. Which in our case is a still very relevant Wisdom Library on topics ranging from self-love to sacred work & careers to intuition & making wise choices to feminine super powers & liberating ourselves from burnout to redefining success & embracing our power of harmonic defiance, and so much more.
I'm curious for you... what milestone are you moving through right now? Something you could pause and savor and acknowledge, even if it's not 'done'?
Two: Pausing to consider what's needed & what we desire to do with the creations we've given our energy to. Find the wisdom for how we grow through momentum, using the principles of Cyclical Living & Co-Creative Pathing. In our case, how can Feminine Power Time serve you, me and the world in this next year (it's 8th year).
Tune in with me for this special episode of Feminine Power Time: The 7th Anniversary Milestone: What We've Created & Where We Go From Here.
You will notice Feminine Power Time has received:
Four parts to our conversation & exploration that will provide the focus and format for the next year:
One: I'll share how I am using the wisdom for sustainable success and growing our projects & missions & desires through momentum with Feminine Power Time now and the next - and how you can use this for your own creations & desires:
Two: Theme for our 8th year - Rooted and Rising in our Radiance
Three: Foundation and Focus Going Forward
6 Parts, that make up the harmony star that creates this space for us
Feminine Power
Four: What I heard from the Survey. At 56 minutes; Share short sumamary the results of the recent survey + the structure for the next cycle.
Thank you to everyone who responded to the survey. And thank you to each one of you who has engaged here me in this intentional space I call Feminine Power TIme.
I created this as “intentional space” for us to step outside of the crazy chaos of the world and the hectic pace of our lives… so we can tune in to what is real, right and true.
There is so much interference and information out there creating pressure, confusion, anxiety, frustration inside our heads & hearts… driving us to make choices, big & small, that are often not aligned or sustainable.
This is why we really do need places that operate at an elevated frequency. Feminine Power Time is such a place. It’s more than a podcast. It’s space created for you, and all those daring to do things differently.
Look forward to this next cycle of our journey together.
Christine

As we go into this next cycle, and look ahead at what we desire to create for ourselves, those we care for and influence, and the world, two thing I do know for sure is this:
HOW we do this must be done together. It's the design of how we create a different reality, rooted in wholeness, compassion, interconnection, inclusion & sustainability.
Our relationships are a big part of both our personal and collective healing & elevation.
The time of the lone wolf, hero, guru, star, indivdual leader is done. The time of putting the world on our backs & doing it all on our own, and sacrificing ourselves for our cause, company or just mere survival needs to be complete.
As we watch the world around us transform, one thing we want to really open our eyes to is the realm of our Relationships and what I call our "Webs of Connections". So much of our personal and collective transformation and elevation can only happen in relationship ... to other people, and to communities, groups and eco systems of people.
Our relationships - the ones we have or the ones we lack - are where we work through our wounds, heal our hearts, return to wholeness, and as result become like agents of elevation in our families, partnerships, teams, communities, companies and the larger world.
Our relationships are the how we move out of working in ways that make us sick... how we create a culture in which people are compassionate, collaborative and inclusive... how we create a reality in which people stop making choices from fear and instead open their imagination to see different possibilities where there is enough for all.
I am curious ...
Do you have the relationships you need now, and to create the next?
What are the relationships + webs of connection that will support you to grow, express in your full genius, & be sustained now and in the next?
Are you up for the experimenting with different ways to engage in relationship? And making changes to how you show up within them? Live the next months and years like a "yoga of relationship" where you can elevate your frequency and experience of relationship in all realms of your life?
Today we open up the portal of elevation for the now and next .... to empower us to create the relationships and connections we really do need for this next 3 year cycle and beyond.
In this episode, #208 (#3 of 3 of our extended Power Pause)- we will focus on your Relationships and Your Web of Connection.
I will share with you two frameworks:
I will share wisdom on both as well as take you into these 3 inquiries:
3 Co-Creative Inquiries
Who am I keeping company with? What is the frequency of the connection or the field? What is draining/dissonant? What is fine/no sweat? What is energizing, empowering and resonant?
Who are the people I am meant to connect with?
If what and who I am seeking is also seeking me, what could be creating interference?
Creative Actions:
See you for the conversation. Honored to be on the path with you!
With heart,
Christine
p.s. REQUEST to CREATE CONNECTION: SHARE THIS PODCAST with a friend. Ask each other the inquiries. And reflect to each other what you hear to bring more insight forward.

Consider this: You career is your path. Your vocation is your calling. Which means as long as you stay true to yourself, live your design, and stay open to learning and evolving... you will make choices in the jobs you take or don't, the 'vocations' you say yes to, and the organizations and people you choose to work with that are aligned for you.
If your career is a path, that means that it will have turns, uphills, downhills, weather systems, and unexpected events. It's not a straight line or a ladder - although the over culture conditions us to believe so.
If you are a person who has dared to follow your truth, heart and deeper knowing, you have likely stepped outside of what is deemed normal, smart or successful. Good for you! That is what we do as co-creators who feel empowered vs. cogs who follow the rules or worse sharks who eat others for lunch to get ahead.
We are at a threshold and big shift in the evolution of humanity - transformation, changes, uncertainty, structures breaking down - of which we are individually a part of.
The wise ones PAUSE to consider where we are NOW and where we want to go NEXT in our careers and the vocations we say yes to. We work with the energy intentionally vs. being worked over by it blindly.
That's why we are doing this power pause series on Feminine Power Time - Wisdom for Thriving Now & Creating What’s Next.
In this episode, #207 (#2 of 3)- we will focus on your Career (path) and Vocation (calling). I will share wisdom on both as well as take you into these 3 inquiries:
3 Co-Creative Inquiries
Who am I working for?
What am I working for Now? Am I in a Shift, a Stand & Savor, an Unsure & Stay put, a Sustainability Reset, a Service?
What I am moving towards Next? What is the reality I desire to fully experiencing in my career and vocation three years from now?
BONUS Inquiries: * What is no longer sustainable or suitable to my design or today’s reality? Do I Release or Redesign? * Where is the energy and momentum at? What do I need in the now to follow it?
Remember ... the over culture will pull you onto the go go more more more escalator or sweep you and your life force up, if you are not centered in your truth and knowing about your path, your vocation and clear on WHO you work for. Even if you say you work for yourself.
Also... We are not meant to do this alone, be lone wolves, or scouts with little to no supplies. We are meant to work in collaboration, synergy and be supported and sustained as we give our gifts and genius and live well. This is our practice, not a prescribed 7 step process :) So we apply these co-creative practices to guide they way.
See you for the conversation. Honored to be on the path with you!

SHARE this podcast with a friend and conversate on the inquirires - you'll LOVE the wisdom you receive
New inspiration for Feminine Power Time...what I'm calling an "XO" episode ... XO from my heart to yours .. like a movie "short," it's a podcast shortie to bring forth something that moves my heart to share with you spontaneously.
I have these moments where I am feeling the energy in the world + sensing themes through the conversations I am having with conscious beings that make me feel "Oh, it would really serve us all to hear this wisdom right about now!" But instead of waiting to do a full podcast, I thought we could experiment with this shorter format. See if we like it?
This first XO short is all about getting to the heart of a pattern, habit, imprint that might be driving you - unconsciously - into overwhelm, self sacrifice, burnout, and ways of working, living, relating. One that is rooted in your self-worth and the imprints around self-worth that have been imprinted on you.
If we can't get to the root of what is causing the burnout within us, we cannot change the systemic roots that keeps us stuck in the in patterns, relationships and situations that do not support our sustainability + thriving. Nor change the systems we work and live in.
Every year around this time, I put myself on a 40-day practice to shine light on root habits and imprints that are driving me in ways that don't serve me + to shift my habits to support my wellbeing & desires going forward.
I was reflecting on the years I've done 40 day practices, and remembered that I had written about one of my profound 40 day practice breakthroughs in Overwhelmed and Over It. Specifically, the connection between our self worth & feelings of safety, security and enoughness and our inability to break free of burnout & self-sacrifice.
In this XO from my heart to yours, I will take us through some wisdom, experience and a set of inquiries that will help you shine some light on where you may be unconsciously pushing yourself way too hard, or stuck in systemic imprints you just don't know are there.
Consider this (excerpt from book and podcast):
The simple truth is this: We cannot give ourselves the space to pause or replenish, nor can we create a reality in which we can be both successful and sustained, in part because we’ve been imprinted to value ourselves based on how busy we are; how much we’ve achieved; or how hard we have to push, strive, and grind.
Or we’ve been so laden down with the reality of just having to survive, we haven’t had space to even consider the pace we’d prefer, because we are drowning, barely keeping our heads above the water.
This is true, for so many of the reasons we have stated about the way this world is currently structured; what society values; and the increasing pace and demands on us financially, physically, mentally, and emotionally to just keep up.
As we’ve said since the start, “It’s not our fault. And . . . you and I, and all the other women on this planet, are the ones with the power to change it, together.”
The way forward is this: We bravely look underneath all the push and grind to see the lies, fear, lack, feelings of “not enough,” and distorted ways we value ourselves, and heal and free ourselves from them.
We re-root ourselves into the truth of our inherent value and a real, felt sense that we are held and guided by something greater, of which we are a part. To start us moving in this direction, I have a few inquiries for you.
Let's look underneath the roots + re-root ourselves into our inherent value and connection.
See you there, Christine

Consider this: What you focus on now, will influence the reality you experience in the years to come. What you choose to give your life force and resources to this year will show up three years from now. The choices you make around your wellbeing now - in your habits, relationships and life & work design - will show up in your health & wealth twenty years from now.
This is a natural law, which means it is naturally how things work .... and this year more than ever that's true (more on that in the podcast).
Which is why I felt compelled to create an extended power pause for us this year ... that will give you wisdom, insight and clarity on this year (the NOW) and also the coming three year cycle (the NEXT).
This power pause series - Wisdom for Thriving Now & Creating What's Next - will give you 3 inquiries per episode focused on a specific area of focus that felt like was really calling me & us to give some conscious thought, feeling and imagination to.
Why so much to do about inquiries?
It's not as much about the words we say, but the inquiries we make and dare to seek deeper wisdom for that determine the quality and reality of our lives.
Inquiry gives us insight into higher intelligence and inner truth.
We'll focus on these 3 key inquiries in this episode #206, focused on your Wellbeing & Lifeforce ... both for the NOW and for the NEXT:
I also break each of these down to make it practical and accessible for you. And end with a embodied meditation.
These are the same inquiries I make for myself. I use the wisdom that arises to make choices that lead me to what is right, real and true for me now. May these wisdom inquiries serve you to make clear, courageous and compassionate choices that keep you aligned to your path, purpose and desires.
Remember...
Choose to protect and retain your life force as if it is the most essential resource you possess.
Because it is.
The systems will take everything you give them -- be an advocate for yourself by giving only what is in harmony, and being conscoius about what is no longer serving you, and what is truly enlivening you!
With heart,
Christine

If you think about it, so much of the support we receive comes through the hands and hearts of other humans and so much of us not receiving the support we desire and require, also comes through our relationships (or lack of them.)
Which is why in our last in the 3 part series of "Receiving the Support You Desire & Require" we are going to and march right into the place where we have so much power to receive more support ... removing interference + opening to receive support from other humans.
I like to call this "Receiving Radiant Support" because it's the kind of support that keeps your light bright, supports your longevity of wellness and is the key to succeeding in bringing that what matters most to us in our work, purpose and lives into form.
Radiant support is also what shine the light ahead as we navigate changes, step into the unknown and manage the wobbles as we create the next and new.
This is not the time for the lone wolf, do it all yourself, or plough through.
It's not weak to need support and help from others. It's human to need a helping hand (or really hands!)
It's human to need to feel held in a bigger community and tribe.
And it's also human to have all kinds of internal interference to receiving support from others that you don't even know is there. Unconscious, distorted imprints creating more struggle and self-sabotage than you realize.
So grab your self-awareness flashlights - and let's take a deeper look to find the interference and start to move it out .... and illuminate the streams of radiant support that you need and require in this next cycle.
I will also share some of the every day practices I use to open up my capacity to receive radiant support including :
See you there,
Christine

When we think of advocacy or being an advocate, we often think of how we show up for and support others, or take stands for the causes that matter to us - which is a beautiful thing. Today, I am inviting you to turn the energy of standing for, honoring and being a voice for others towards yourself. Self-advocacy.
What would it look like this year if you chose to be an advocate for yourself?
What would it look like to so deeply honor what you desire and require, that you were willing to stay true to yourself, even if that meant disappointing another?
What would change for you, if instead of just heading straight into all the things you desire and need to tend to, create, cause and respond to, you paused to consider what SUPPORT YOU NEED?
These are the questions I am inviting you step into in this series - Receive the Support You Desire and Require this Year. And then, after tuning into your deeper truth and wisdom, start using your voice and your choices to create a reality in which you truly do receive the support you need.
WISDOM: “In times of stretch or stress, or when you are doing something new, ask for and receive more support, not less." (Overwhelmed and Over It page 175)
In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #204 SELF-ADVOCACY: Honoring What You Need, No Matter What, we'll explore:
I will take you through a guided process tuning into 4 areas of physical foundational support. This will tune into your deeper wisdom and needs about:

“We have become so self-sufficient as women that we often don’t consider the support we need, and even when it does show up, we struggle to fully receive it.”
These are the words that start Chapter 8 in my book Overwhelmed and Over It which is the chapter that gets to the root about why we push away support or don't receive the support we need, and then up burned out, and stretched too thin.
In this 3-part series, Receive the Support You Desire & Require this Year, we take a stand together to get real and practical about how we ensure you DO get the support you need, require and desire, and/or make different choices based on the resources you have.
I was going to do this as one episode, but when I felt into what would really serve us, a deeper dive into you FEELING and BEING supported on all levels came through loud and clear.
In Part 1 we will explore and dive into some of the key wisdom teachings that create the foundation for support to actually show up in and grow in your life, including:
Throughout the series, we will create space for you to tune into 5 different realms you have the power to be and feel more supported, from the inside out. These just all happen to begin with the letter P.
They all reflect the FOUNDATIONS of SUPPORT we all need at this time.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time we will explore PRACTICE + PLAY, including the structures and support that will:

Every year in January I wait to do this special Feminine Power Time session until the timing feels just right. This year, it was just one week after the start of the Lunar New Year, at the phase of the moon aligned with the energy of Focusing, Creating, Intending, and Empowering Ourselves - so in alignment for this coming year cycle + the bigger 3 and 20 year cycles ahead.
2023 is a 7 year - connected to the Chariot - and a water Rabbit year - again a year that it would be wise to lead by the feminine aspects and power, with masculine structure supporting. These archetypes + what the natural cycles are indicating + the commonalities I am feeling and seeing for myself and the conscious people I know and work have formed the focus and themes for this year's session.
I’ve been thinking of you all for the past few weeks and what would emerge to be shared on the yearly “Feminine Wisdom for The Year Ahead” episode. Which is why I've waited three weeks between episodes. I always wait for the wisdom and focus to emerge ... which it did today, after I returned home from a two week co-creative trip to California.
After weeks of being in my own reflection and visioning process, watching what’s happening in the world, deepening in my own practice and listening for guidance from Wisdom with a capital W, once again, a series of ‘wisdom bytes’ - themes - flowed out.
It all popped out like a stew that had been cooking for weeks. That's letting the feminine lead, purposeful patience and stillness (listening) before moving into movement and action (which is a theme for this year especially, more on that).
Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead - 2023. If you are listening to this later, no worries, it is still all relevant. It's about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up.
Feminine wisdom teaches us to prepare for the intensity, uncertainty, transformation and change.
Not to brace yourself for it, but to embrace it, pace yourself through it and cultivate the vitality, resilience and wisdom you’ll need to stay elevated above the fray and the chaos.
Tune in with me. And if you have some paper ... bring it to write out some of the themes I share (also posted below).
See you there!

What's calling for your heart and soul to focus and give your energy and time to, that feels good, aligned and meant for you?
Frequency ... What do you need to keep your frequency high this year? What brings it down or creates interference? What practices and communities do you have in place to keep your frequency high?
Forms ... how we do the next now will be different. Some forms to keep in mind mentioned in the podcast.
There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head.
Don't let the chaos and pressure of the world or the should's of your self-induced pressure and thoughts swirl you up. Instead turn inward, tune into your heart and dare to tap into your deeper wisdom and desires and let those inspire and guide you.
Wisdom teaches us to use the power and practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action.
Not so we can have it all figured out like an agenda or project plan. But so we can be clear on our intentions, be connected to what's really in right timing, and to see what we can't see with our eyes but can sense with our deeper intuitive knowing ... if we slow down to listen.
Wisdom also teaches us ... the wisdom is within you for your most soul-aligned path ahead, the path that sustains you on all levels - mind, body, heart and spirit. And the portal into that wisdom is not in your mental mind, it's in your heart and body.
Every year I do an episode that takes us through a series of wisdom inquires I think would serve us to contemplate, at this time.
How we start the year creates the reality ahead.
Use the practice of these 'wisdom inquiries' so you can stay focused on what truly matters, create the realities for ourselves and the world that align with our deeper truth and desires, and realize sustainable success.
This year we have a set of 4 inquiries Four is the number of structure. So you can think of this as you setting structure / focus so that the year ahead actually aligns with what matters most.
Every year the inquires are different.
Because every year, we need differently inquiries to lead us to the possibilities we haven't even considered with our limited - often fear reactive - minds.
I comb through the many inquiries we use in the EMERGE Visioning Process to find 4 to "prime the pump" and open your visioning, intention setting and focusing for the year to come.
Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, transformational leadership advisor and teacher, for episode 202: Power Pause: Tune into What Matters Most to You This Year - A Series of 4 Inquiries
See you there!

Inquiries Shared in the Podcast
For this year ...
Tune into Self Love
I would love to explore ...

What pressure could I release to create space for what matters to me?
Tune into Creating a Whole Life
What matters most in my physical foundation - home, health and wealth this year?
What matters most in my self-expression and personal growth this year?
Tune Into Joy
What would bring me joy this year?

Purposeful Patience. What is it? How can we work with it? And why is it something you might benefit from putting into practice in how you approach how you go about achieving your goals + bringing your ideas, desires and projects into fruiition + creating a consistent sense of wellbeing, even during intensity and uncertainty? Just that :)
For the past year I have been practicing Purposeful Patience. It was the theme and mantra of my year. Each year I/we choose/receive a yearly theme/centerpoint in the Emerge Visioining Process - like "The Year of Purposeful Patience" or last year "The Year of Embodying Radiant Grace."
I love the practice of choosing a centerpoint and over-arching theme and then working with it intentionally all year. It becomes a guidepost and a portal into deeper wisdom that can support us to create realities that are more aligned with our design and desires. If you stick with it as an active practice, by the end of the year, you have SO much more embodied wisdom, trust and insight on how to do things differently.
Somethings to know about Purposeful Patience.
Purposeful patience is not sitting around waiting for life to happen. It's not a platitude like "Patience is a Virutue."
Purposeful patience is a co-creative choice to live in alignment with the natural flow and unfoldment of your life, purpose, projects, and processes.
The practice of purposeful patience reduces anxiety, the wasting of resources and time, and the self-inflicted pressure that stresses our minds, bodies, hearts, and spirits.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time: 200: Purposeful Patience: Practicing the Ease Over the Rush, I was inspired to share with you a handful of the pearls of wisdom I received - so you can apply the wisdom to the rhythm of your year, your months, your weeks and your days.
Consider this: Would you more ease (comfort and convenience) or more rush (haste, progress with speed and violence), hustle (shake, push, shove), or busy (meddlesome, toil) in your life this next cycle?
Here's some of what we'll explore:
A few pearls of wisdom to play with and try on:
And two co-creative practices:
Enjoy playing with purposeful patience in your life - love to hear what you learn.
See you there

The Lost Track of Time by Paige Britt - https://www.paigebritt.com/read-my-books
Every year I love to create a special a Feminine Power Time episode that invites us to press pause and really reflect and receive the progress we have made, and the impact we have had on people, the planet and all of the projects and dreams that called for our attention this year. Why? Becasue most of us do not register in our minds, bodies or being that we really have made progress, and that what we are doing is making a difference.
Most of us feel like we are not doing enough – in our day to day, towards our goals, for others in need or for the planet.
So we feel like we are always behind, like there is never enough time, and like we will never have the space to get to what matters most.
This is I believe is one of the greatest sources of anxiety, dissatisfaction, overwhelm, burnout and stress that we have the power to shift by choosing to do something differently -- pause to truly FEEL how we have made a difference so we can SEE IT and BELIEVE IT ... and RECEIVE IT.
Exhale. My body seriously just took an exhale as I wrote that!
In order for your brain to register the progress you've made, and that things ARE happening and changing, you have to pause to feel it.
For your being to believe you are making a difference through your voices and choices, you've gotta feel that too.
And feel GOOD and PROUD ... this is called "honoring."
Self honor is very connected to self respect. Self Honor is one of the 10 types of self love - so it's not boastful or distorted pride, it's healthy. Honoring yourself for how you have chosen to show up, give your energy, be a source of good in the world is a way to bring more LOVE and peace and goodness into the world.
This episode is part wisdom teaching, part ritual, part guided visualization and feel-a-zation and part overall boost of wellbeing for your mind, body, spirit and heart.
Part 1: EOM - Evidence of Momentum. On the progress you have made in the different realms of your life - professionally and personally.
Part 2: EOL - Evidence that your Love and Light touched people, real humans, and it mattered! (in all the ways you gave your energy and care)
Part 3: #HarmonicDefiance for the Planet: Evidence that your choices to do things differently + to elevate your own consciousness are impactly the planet's wellbeing.
Tune in. See you there. This is for YOU.

How do you want to feel as you complete this year and as you walk into and begin the next? Overwhelmed? Drained? Exhausted? Busy? Over-extended? Of course not! Yet there is so much pressure internally and externally that can create this as the reality you live vs. the one that you desire for the last and beginning weeks of the year.
Since 2007, I have been talking about and writing about Holiday Overwhelm and how to avoid it. How not to get hooked by obligation. How to do things differently than what the culture says is normal, but is really kind of crazy :)
But this year, I decided I wanted to ELEVATE our conversation and focus ... from the base level consciousness that keeps us stuck in cycles of end-of-the-year madness, and year-start repentance, to some things we can focus on to elevate our experience ... to ones that create a stronger sense of calm, peace, joy, fulfillment, regeneration, creativity, connection, spaciousness. You know all the stuff we see on holiday cards?
Wisdom teaching: What you focus on grows.
So what will you focus on ?
My very wise ski instuctor's teaching: What you look at, you will hit. Look away from what you don't want to hit. Aka If you want to avoid hitting a tree, then look away from the tree and look towards where you want to go.
My translation - focus on and look where you want to go so it grows within and around you.
In this episode 198: Complete & Create Your Year Clear: Avoid Overwhelm & Over-ing. Focus On What Fills You Up we will explore, activate and dive into a series of practical ways to FOCUS on what would be supportive and sustaining ... so you can savor and enjoy the completion of one cycle and the beginning of the next ... and make choices in your day to day that will keep your center clear ... and support you to feel nourished, at peace, empowered, calm, and any of the other feels you want to embody!
Here's what TO focus on (and what not to):
I'll share the wisdom behind these, and how to use these practically in the moment to make choices or change a situation. Bring some paper to write these down and then try them out.
With great heart,
Christine

Co-Creation - we've defined what it is ... but HOW do you do it? How to real people living real live actually live as the co-creators of their reality, of their relationships, and of the parts of the world they impact? Living as a conscious co-creator in my experience is not some estoeric notion or nice idea, it is choice you make, and the path and practice for how you see and engage in every part of your world - from the small mundane moments and tasks to the big choices.
To complete this special series in Embracing Your Co-Creative Power series, which focuses on Co-Creative Practices I thought having one of our special "Wise Woman Tea" sessions would make this part of the series most valuable for you. Wise Woman Teas are sessions where I invite on a person (or people in this case) who I am actually in relationship with and know personally, and who also is really living whatever we are exploring.
I invite you into the conversation: Conscious Co-Creation: The Practices for How We "Do" It with myself, Katherine Torrini and Jennifer Bloom, two women with whom I have been exploring and deepening our understanding and practice of co-creation for almost 7 years together. We are part of feminine leadership council together in which we have intentionally dove into what co-creation is and how we 'do' it, and have co-created books, journals, events and more together. Also, while we share a love of co-creation, we also are different in our approaches and perspectives, which is why I invited them to join us.
Tune in, you are invited into the conversation where we will literally co-create the experience, and explore practices like:
We will end with one of our favorite co-creative pratices for creating a better world now + shifting our own realities now ... "Imagine a World" (and invite you to try it on the Feminine Wisdom Cafe).
And Jennifer will end us with a song / poem she wrote that will open your heart and mind to possibilty and co-creativity.
See you there. And read below for links to connect with Jennifer and her poems, and Katherine and her visual thinking magic.

I have a few questions for you: "Would you like to complete this year feeling centered and good about what you did? Start the new year feeling clear - mentally & emotionally? Like your physical space to feel clear and coherent? Like to be free of some of the relationship drama or distress in your personal or professional relationships?"
Imagine how you would feel if you had more space in the last few weeks of this year and the first few weeks of next year.
Are you exhaling yet?
Of course our answers to this possibility are YES! Choosing to downshift in November and December seems sane and what's needed.Starting the new year clear is not just a nice to have - it's what any wise person would do.
But how do you 'do' that? Especially in the chaos of the world, the many things pulling at you, and all you think you should be doing?
My council has been the same for a decade, and it's even more essential in the times we are living in. The wisdom is clear:
You put into place simple but mighty practices - rituals that create a rhythm that connects you to your deeper wisdom, and that empower to you make choices that lead to you working and living with the natural cycles. And what is in alignmnet to focus on now ... and what can be flowed to after the start of the new year.
We elevate our perspectives out of the mainstream made-up and toxic time pressures and other pressure to buy stuff, stay busy and be productive. And instead get clear and real about our value systems. And dare to make choices - big and small - that sustain vs drain us.
We use these weeks to downshift vs. upshift. Regenerate vs. get slowed down by the Universe by getting sick. Create in ways that nourish our heart and soul and spirit, so we fill our radiance, vitality and passion tanks (which have likely been depleted this year.)
Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time: Dare to End and Start Your Year Differently : 3 Perspectives + Practices to Regenerate, Create Space + Co-Create
It includes 3 practices and perspective, along with inquiries and some guided meditations that will help you
I will also share some very specific examples of what I do to create space, relief and release this way - including just releasing 3800 emails in one hour!

Cyclical Living is the practice of working with the natural cycles of how the earth and the universe - and therefore us a humans (who are part of the natural world) - thrive, create and operate best.
The wisdom is simple: When you harmonize yourself to the natural cycles - day, week, month and year - everything in your life (which includes career, money, relationships, work, health, wealth, practice, business, etc) comes into more alignment and harmony.
It's not a pancea promising some kind of nirvana living with no stretch, stress, struggle or uncertainty. Cyclical living is the HOW we stay centered, sustained, supported and in alignment with our unique design, part and path. It's a practice for reducing anxiety and overwhelm, strengthening trust and intuition, making wise choices, exiting the burnout matrix, and gaining the power to see what is real and true.
For me, understanding and practicing cyclical living as how I lead my business, advise my leadership clients, bring my dreams and intentions into form, and create a life and work style that sustains me, is an essential practice. For visioning, planning, pathing, and creating sustainable success.
There is so much to share about this practice - because it goes counter to what our culture teaches us is right and real (and keeps us stuck in the go go go, tick tock robot, never enough scarcity striving reality).
Which is why, #2 of 3 in our Embracing Your Co-Creative Power Series is focused on this single practice:The Practice Cyclical Living.

WISDOM INQUIRIES
1. What is calling for your focus this "Kiva Time" - Nov 1 - Feb 1? Or these next 3 months?
I'm going to keep this introduction to this series and episode short - so we can just dive right into what I consider one of the most powerful and accessible 'things' we have to not just survive or thrive during these times.
It is a "super power" that is so innate and natural - and so powerful - that we can slough it off as 'woo' or something 'nice' to explore on a retreat vs. something that if understood, accessed, and applied.
In many ways the overculture loves this because it keeps us distracted from how much influence we have to make a difference in how we experience our lives + how we become instruments for creating a better world. Now. And over the years to come.
This super power is called ... Co-Creation.
It's different than manifestation. It's not magical thinking. And it's the wises way leaders go from pushing, grinding and striving to actually bringing their 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 (see CO) is not just about us as individuals - this is where the courage, compassion, connection comes in to give us true super power.
We are starting a 3 part conversation and exploration that will focus on Our Co Creative Power - principles, perspectives and practices.
I'll share these principles, perspectives and practices, that I've been living and teaching for well over a decade - and still live myself. You experiment in your life now, and see what happens.
This first episode is Feminine Power Time #194 - Wielding Our Co-Creative Power: 3 principles for bringing more of what we desire for ourselves & the world into reality.
This is HOW we do this time. Lean in, tune in and put into practice what feels aligned for you.
Suggestion - bring some paper and markers - we will use the co creative practice of visual thinking. Or listen one time through, and come back with your markers.
See you there!
Christine

Did you know that the word "busy" means "meddlesome" and "interfering" and everytime we use phrases like, "I am so busy" or "I am too busy too,," we pushe away the exact connection or support we both need and desire during intense times.
Or how putting up our busy badge is disempowering and isolating vs empowering and connecting?
Or have you ever considered how you navigate intensity when you either actively engage in it or it unexpectedly find yourself standing the midst of it?
In the decade plus of my research for what became the book Overwhelmed and Over It, and is one of the root of my feminie leadership work is this:
Instensity is part of life. Intensity is not good or bad, although some kinds of intensity feels so much more empowering than others. It's what the tools we have for navigating within the intensity that make all the difference.
In your life, there will be times you choose intensity. And there will be times when the intensity happen to you - out of your control or desire.
Most of us have been woefully educated or prepared how to move - how to dance - through intensity. So we grind, strive, push through it, or find ourselves in the middle of puddle, or a confusion, anxiety, frustration, overwhelm storm within it.
Add to that how our overculture has made "being busy" a badge of honor and success. Or how we've been taught that working hard and realizing success means pushing through until the project is done or goal is reached, to the detriment of our own mind, body, spirit and emotional wellbeing is just how it is.
And you can explain of what seems normal in our society is actually anything but.
There is a different way to be with the intense times in our lives - chosen or found, stretching or struggling - that empower us to move through it with grace, gumption and more support and connection.
Which is why I chose to call us together for this conversation and exploration of Feminine Power Time - #193 - Dancing Through Intensity: 5 Practices to Stay Sustained In Busy, Challenging, or High Output Times.
Tune is as we explore and apply to your life now and in the future:
For this session, I invite you to bring your copy of the book Overwhelmed and Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered and Sustained in a Chaotic World with you. If you don't have your copy yet - chose a place to buy your copy from here.
Mostly -- bring any situation you find yourself in right now - or in the recent past - that felt overwhelming, busy, too much of a stretch, intense, even if you chose it .... and then take these practices and wisdom teachings into your life and see what happens!
with great heart,
Christine

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 health, and keep us focused on what matters.
Which is why one of my top three pratices for staying out of burnout and overwhelm and stay on the path of sustainable success, impact and wellbeing in the "Power Pause" + why I created this episdoe for you, which is really more like a mini retreat.
Power pauses are an elevated leadership best practice we do quarterly, at the Equinoxes and Solstices, the natural shifting times. Equinoxes are all about illuminating imbalances, shifting habits to restore wellbeing, and re-focusing your priorities and intentions for the next quarter.
The September Equinox offers us insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported.
Often at Equinox, I am out in the world doing full day power pauses for teams, weekend and one day retreats for conscious women, and going through the process myself. And I like to do a mini power pause for all of us here at Feminine Power Time ... with some of the key parts of the process I feel like we can most benefit from this particular year.
The theme of Sept Equinox is always Harvest. This year, I added the theme of RECEIVE, because I feel like we can use a fill up at a heart, mind, soul, spirit and body level.
Tune into this Power Pause and:
I will lead us through a 5 inquiry process, including visualization and meditation to:
See you there!
And make sure to check out the Feminine Wisdom Cafe for a special packet I put together for you to help you find the imbalances or shifts of focus + re-harmonize and re-focus.

Taking leaps. Small ones. Big ones. In between ones. Whether we are leaving a job or changing careers... or moving our home... or starting or ending a marriage or relationship... or choosing to make a change, break a pattern or complete something without knowing exactly what's on the other side...
Taking leaps is like an olympic sport most of us didn't get training for. So we figure it out as we go. If we are fortunate, we find guides along the way who have leapt before us.
People who can give us some wisdom and practical steps for how to take leaps with grace. People who can support us to tap into our gumption to fuel the courage and clarity we need to leap.
I've lept many times into the unknown, followed the unconventional path, made choices for freedom over security, trusting that it would all work out in the end. So far I am still standing, still smiling and while I have some stretch marks from the stress that leaps almost always bring, the rewards in my heart and soul bank far outweigh the stretch marks.
Taking leaps is how people who live fully and freely live. We don't wait for all things to be in place or feel comfortable. But we also aren't 'dummy pants' and leap with no net. And the net isn't always what you think it is.
Wisdom Byte: If you never step into the unknown you just keep repeating the same reality.
I sat down to create this session of Feminine Power Time #191: Taking Leaps, Doing Beginnings, Endings, and Cycles with Grace & Gumption, on the 6th evening of sleeping in my new house, in a new city on the other side of America. A marker of 9-month cycle of making signficiant and intentional leaps in many areas of my life - from career to relationship to health to home to financial. Whew! Exhale.
So many of the people I advise and coach, and the women in the leadership councils and wisdom schools I founded, are also moving through big cycles - some they welcomed with opened arms, others they've resisted for some time.
I imagine you might also be going through a cycle with endings and beginnings too, whether you are conscious to it or not.
So i poured some tea, put on my downshifting white jammies, sat at my desk for the first time in 9 months and created this for you - to share what I've learned and noticed about cycles, about going through this current transition and what I'm seeing in other conscious humans currently.
I've got some inquires, stories and elevated perspectives to share that I hope will give you some grace and gumption in whatever leap you are making or is calling you.
I'll end us with 4 inquiries to elevate you and/or do with a friend.
See you there!

Fierce Grace. If you asked me to describe embodied Feminine Power in two words i would say "Fierce Grace." When we are truly rooted in our unique expression of fierce grace we have access to our full power, presence, purpose and wisdom.
Fierce grace comes through our presence, through our words both spoken and written, through our passion and purpose, through both courage and compassion - it's all about embodied pure heart.
Now more than ever the world needs each of our pure hearted power, presence and purpose in the world. Imprints of what it looks, feels, and sounds like to embody both fire and water.
This month is the two year marker of my fourth book, Overwhelmed and Over It was sent final edition to the printers ... this book was the first book in which I fully unleashed and embodied the energy of fierce grace. I had spoken from this place many times, including this podcast and all of my programs and trainings. But a written book or really any written form is a different animal. One I think all of us can use some wisdom on.
I was inspired to re-run this conversation to dive into how we can share our words and writing with the world.
Whether you are a writer, or want to be, or you want to write a book, or a blog, or just show up more powerfully in your authentic presence in your communications -- or just start writing for JOY because you have something to say or you just want to! COME to this conversation.
I invited Kristine Carlson, NY Times Best Selling Author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Women, founder of the Book Doula incubator and community that starts every September, and a woman who has been like a big sister to me in my writing and book career to join us for Fierce Grace Talk #1: Sharing Your Words & Writing with the World"
It seems like the perfect time to pull the veil back and have a heart to heart about what writing a book is like ... how it catalyzes your personal growth ... and what support and structure is really needed. And HOW to just get started.
And to also explore at this time when so many voices are speaking out there -- how do YOU want to show up, speak up and share ? In a way that matters to you? Feels good to you? And is adding to the world you desire to create for yourself and others? This is the power of Fierce Grace.
Take us with you for a walk.. pour some tea and settle in... take us out in the sun to do some earthing, heck pour a bath or snuggle up in bed ... it's a heart to heart ... supporting us each to share our words and writing in the world in ways that light YOU up and light up those you touch.
Wherever this finds you... the words you share and the presence you share them through - in your voice, your energy, your purpose - matters. Nothing is too small, we start where we are.
You matter. Believe it.

Every year I take a pause to make this these inquiries: "What is calling to be liberated.. within me, within my work/career, within my relationships, and within my physical foundation of health/wealth/home?"
And "What 'skins' am I shedding/ do I need to shed, so I can more powerfully, fully and freely express as who I am now, and who I am evolving and elevating into?"
Think of your 'skins' as the roles, responsbilities, robes of expression, and robes of repression you have taken on consciously or unconsciously.
I do this practice every year because it's one of the most empowering, effective practices I know to support us to make conscious change.
When you actively and intentionally choose to catalyze yourself, and you pause to put language to what is being called to catalyze (in your life, relationships, career, money, health, etc.), you are much more likely to have the resiliency needed to meet the challenges that arise... and the wisdom to create the reality your heart and soul are calling you to.
The practice uses the Feminine Super Power of Catalyze - which is:
The power to use the circumstances & situations that life brings you as liberators and elevators that lift you (and others) up into expanded levels of consciousness & reality. To initiate and call forth oneself out of the comfort zone, through the lightening fire of transformation with focus & quickness. And as a result, take a self-empowered step into your evolution, liberating yourself to a more full & true expression.
This year, I felt inspired to bring us all through this ritual here in episode 190: Shedding What No Longer Serves. Tune into as we:
At the end, I will take you through a 5 step process to reveal what wants to be liberated and freed within you, what skins are ready to be shed, and what support you need to make the transformation with grace.
I love this super power and this ritual - see you there!

Inquiries from the Skin Shedding Ritual (from the Feminine Wisdom Way book, page 162)
What inside of me desires to be more free to Express?
What do I desire to be more fre to RECEIVE?
What skins am I shedding (name them)? Roles, responsibliities, robes of expression, robes of repression
How have these skins served me? Why must I shed them now?
What support do I need as I make this transformation?
About two to three timess a year I feel the call to do one of these Feminine Wisdom for Intense and Changing Times sessions - where we take a pause, put our wise woman / wise being glasses on and take a deeper look at what is going on in the Field (the bigger collective world) and in our field (our own inner experiences, relationships and reality.)
So we can see what is real, what is needed, what the patterns are, and find the wisdom to navigate the now and the next.
This session was taped live during the time span between July 25th and August 8th which is always a powerful time to elevate and expand your consciousness ... and liberate yourself from stuff you just don't want to carry with you or create from (you can google Mayan Day Out of Time, Lammas, Leo New Moon, or 8 8 Lions Gate to learn more).

Are you clearing your emotional and energetic fields? What do you do when you get "gooped" by the world, a person, the news, the physical and virtual environments you find yourself in, or even by your own emotional triggers?
"Gooped" is my partner Noah and my term for what happens to us when we get emotionally, mentally, energetically, and physically weighed down, swirled up, affected by external forces.
In the times we live in, it's really wise to ask yourself : What am I doing to keep my energy clear?
Are my energetic and emotional boundaries strong? How do I know when they are weak? And how do I strengthen them?
Today, in part 3 of our 3 parts series called STAY LIGHT - how do we keep our life force strong, our minds clear, our emotions stable, our radiance bright in our current reality - individually and collectively - I invited in the person who often supports me to "de-goop"- my partner in life, love, business and service, Noah Martin.
The centerpoint of our exploration today is this:
"What does it mean to be gooped? How do you know you are gooped up? How does it happen? And what do you do in the moment or as prevention to keep the external forces from knocking you off kilter?"
Clearing your emotional and energetic fields is a must in our world today. Just like you brush your teeth and get in your steps. Or you get too much plaque and too much fat, which creates dis-ease.
Our exploration will take part in four sections:
Wisdom About Energy - What we need to know about our energetic connections and energy fields - and how they interact with other people and situations.
5 Kinds of Boundaries - Emotional, Mental, Energetic, Physical and Environment. How to work with yours, know when your boundaries have been breached and how to re-find your center and clear your field.
Goop Prevention - what you can do proactively to not get gooped.
Emergency Care & Culitivating Your Energetic Support Team and Structure - practices & modalities that can support you to clear your being , strenghten your internal system, and clear out energetic and emotional interference.
Get your practitioners, practices and people in place that keep you at a high frequency and keep your being light. Get these into your rhythm to support your radiance.
Tune in. We look forward to diving in with you. Stay Light! De-goop daily, weekly and monthly :)
With great heart,
Christine and Noah

PRACTICES from the PODCAST:
In the Moment:
2 What support do I need to protect my boundaries, so I can make right choices? What allows me to be supported so I don’t get cooped?
Preventative
Where do you continue to get gooped? Think relationships or situations or environments. Look at where this is happening:
Reveal it.
Then Make Shifts and Changes or Set Yourself up so you can be in those situations without getting gooped. Reduce the energy that is creating the groping.
Start your day connected & protected - with your daily morning practice, everyday (see Overwhelmed and Over It, Section 2 Liberate Your Life Force + Get the Daily Morning Flow Practice Kit)
Who are the practitioners? the practices? in my regular rhythm that clear out the goop so it doesn’t build up. Find who and what works for you.
Freedom is one of the most essential human needs, and desires. People have died fighting for it, many have never tasted it, and most of us, even if we live in a 'free' world have many ways in which we are NOT free.
Every year as we pass through July 4th marker, which in America is celebrated as Independence Day, in a country that is supposed to be founded on freedom (but in many ways is not, and was not for all people)... I take a pause to shine a light on all the ways I personally am not free or feeling free, and what is happening collectively that is so not about freedom of the people or the planet.
I tune in every year also for what conversation to have with all of you here at Feminine Power Time around Freedom. And this year, well wow, unprecented with the repealing of rights to our body, rights to be safe from gun violence in schools and public spaces, rights to vote, rights to affordable housing, and ....
So today I tuned in after my morning practice to what was needed for ust to gather around ... and out flowed Feminine Power Time #187: Fighting for Our Freedom, the Feminine Way. A power pause to consider how we channel our energy and influence.
We'll dive into:
I will lead you through:
There is wisdom here for navigating these times.
Not to just get through them. But to break through.
We've each got a part to play. We are all being called to awaken even more. And none of us can do this on our own.
Tune in to this touchstone for your radiance, rootedness and rememberance.

Power Pause Inquiries Shared
Today we dive into this inquiry: "What is draining, dimming or distorting your radiance? " Remember, Radiance is your light.
The brightness and strength of your radiance effect everything from your wellbeing, your physical health, your ability to get your gifts and genius into the world, your access to your intuition and power, and how you feel about yourself, your life and the world.
Our theme for this series is STAY LIGHT - not as a spiritual platitude but as a directive from the Universe and a real practice we put into place in our daily lives. Last session we explored what Radiance is, and what restores and retains yours.
In this Feminine Power Time #186, our intention is to illuminate what's draining or dimming your radiance, so you can see it, name it and be at choice with how to work with the forces that pull you down and dim, so you can can stay light and bright even in this challenging time in the world.
We'll start where we always start which is where you have the power within you to make shifts, no matter what the outside world does.
We'll dive into 5 different ways I've noticed our Radiance gets drained, dimmed or distorted because of what's happpening within us. to help you remember, we use alleteration, giving them all F's ... for "What's f-ing with my Light! :) LOL> we need to stay light as we dive into this heavy stuff.
Here are 6 ways we drain, dim or distort our Radiance
Forcing
Forgetting
Feeling Like...
Frustation at Feeling Stuck
Fragmenting Your Focus
Frequency
I'll share the signs these are present within you, give real life examples and share some of my practices for how I transform the radiance dimmers, and elevate my mood, perspective and energy.
At the end I'll guide you through a embodied meditation that tunes you into where your Radiance is getting drained, and a 3-step process to rise out of the muck into the light.
Lots of good stuff in here. Exhale. This is all in service of supporting you to name and see the patterns in what messes with your Radiance, so you can catch it sooner, shift the energy, and find your way to back to the Flow and the light beam of the "Force" :) Like in Star Wars :))
See you there.
May the light always glow and flow within you,
Christine

Stay Light Elevation Practice Shared
Step One: Get real. How does this manifest in my Body? Being? Balance?
Step Two: What do I need that I am not receiving?
Step Three: What do i need to get back into the flow? back into the
"beam"?
STAY LIGHT. These are the two words that will frame and focus this series, with the intention of supporting you to restore your "radiance" levels to be bright and vibrant, and then keep that brightness and lightness strong, growing and glowing the rest of this year.
RADIANCE is one of those words we hear but why does it really matter? Wouldn't it be better just to focus on self-care, wellness and stress-management? Well if you want more "to dos" sure, you can go that way.
Or you can go deeper to get what is at the roots of what keeps your wellbeing strong - mind, body AND spirit and heart. Like instead of focusing on the leaves of the tree, you get into what's happening inside the trunk and within the roots and soil that allows that tree to stand tall, strong and briliant even in stormy weather.
Radiance is defined in the dictionary as brightness and lightness. And there is SO much more!
In episode #1 of 3 in our STAY LIGHT series we will dive into:
We'll pose this central question for you to contemplate and give you creative processes to reveal practical wisdom you can apply to how you structure and make choices these next few months.
"What sustains and supports my radiance?"
I will share some of the common things that support and restore our radiance such as these wisdom bites from two beings whose work I respect very much:
"Radiance is a function of stillness." - Ariel Spilsbury
"Radiance acts as a hidden instrument of your intuition." - Richard Rudd
Lastly, I'll lead you through a meditation and visualiization that starts the creative juices flowing of what lifts you up and lightens you up in 7 areas of the foundation of our radiance.
And share how you can take this and create what I call the "Radiance Wheel" - which will support you not to do more, but to put structures in place and make choices to keep your light shining and wellbeing glowing, for many months and years to come.
As leaders, change makers, beings daring to do things different to create a better more beautiful world, we need to Stay Light, even in, especially in the face of challenge and chaos.
It's HOW we lead and live through this time.
Tune in
See you there

I titled this episode of Feminine Power Time: "If Mothers Ruled The World: Embracing Our Collective Power to Create a More Sacred World" with the intention for it to be center point we could stand in, together, to look at what is happening in the world - that is so not honoring the sacredness of life, of women, of children and really of humanity.
I offer this as an invitation for us to take a step out of the ideals, politics, ideology and polarizing forces that have kept us stuck in a reality that keeps humans fighting against each other, vs. coming together as human beings, living on a living planet, to focus our power, wisdom and resources on creating a 'sacred world' -- sacred meaning "Devoted to wholeness, with respect, without violence to the self or others."
One is which we stop asserting our power and beliefs over one another.
In wisdom traditions, we are taught not to defend our position or have all the answers.
We are taught that when things seem insane, when we don't like what we see, to step back, to elevate so we can see the whole, to make an inquiry and then sit with it. And we wait for wisdom, which often comes in the form of an inquiry to arise. This inquiry opens the portal to a way to see things differently.
The inquiry I received was "What if Mothers Ruled the World?" Which doesn't only include people who give birth to human children.
Wisdom also teaches us how to speak from both fierceness and through grace. To create a field that connects and opens. Which was my intention.
Tune in. Bring an open mind and open heart. Take in what resonates. Leave what doesn't. Most of all, I am inviting us to open up our imaginations. To see through our wise eyes. To see the reality playing on the world stage. To see and speak what could be.
See you there,
In devotion to love,
Christine
Hello Dear One ... Every May I love to re-listen to and re-share this episode on MOTHER LOVE which I recorded in 2017, and the wisdom still stands... and the message still so needed for us all to hear, contemplate and put into practical action. I've updated the start and end with a special reading and practice this year. What is Mother Love? Mother Love is so much more than we think it is.) So many of us are feeling stretched - being called to make changes, expansions, trust. In times like you need more "mother love" - it's so powerful! MOTHER LOVE does not just come from your birth mother. And since most of us aren't taught what that is or how to source it, I am replaying this Feminine Power Time. If you've never heard it, tune in. If you have, re-listen this is medicine and a message that will bring clarity, confidence and courage to you at this time....
"THERE IS A GREAT MOTHER LOVE AVAILABLE THAT CAN ACT AS THE SAFE AND SOFT HARBOR YOU NEED TO STAND STRONG + FEEL SUPPORTED. IT WILL HOLD YOU, SOOTHE YOU, AND GIVE YOU UNSTOPPABLE COURAGE."
When you read the words ‘mother love’ you likely go right to thinking about the mother who gave birth to you or the mother who raised you. And while that mother definitely has a role to play in our lives, she cannot be our only source of “mother love.”
Mother love is... a specific kind of love that every human being needs – we don’t outgrow the need for it, although we sadly forget how much we do need it.
Mother love is… the deep, all-embracing, all-accepting, nourishing, nurturing, warm, safe, supportive love that soothes the places inside our hearts that feel scared and lonely.
Mother love is… the strong love that we can fall into when we are stressed, stretched, uncertain, and feeling like we just can’t handle what’s happening in our life.
Sourcing Mother Love is not something most of us were taught how to do. In this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo: Mother Love: The Feminine Love That Will Hold You Through Transition:

Whether you want the change and are intentionally creating it or it's a happening that you didn't ask for but find yourself in, when you can name the change as a 'threshold' you are crossing and moving through elevates everything.
Almost everyone I know if they are aware, conscious and choosing to grow through the catalyzing times we are in, is walking through a threshold crossing. While they are always challenging, they don't have to take you down or drive you to push through or run the other way.
There is wisdom - practices and perspectives - to share and apply now and in the months and years to come to whatever changes and shifts we find ourselves in -- in ways that empower us to be in co creation with the Universe and each other.
Most of us didn't get this wisdom in our traditional education or leadership training. I've crossed thresholds many times (more on the word threshold in the Podcast) and have learned some things I thought might help bring more ease, empowerment, and grace to you.
Wisdom and pratices that seem simple that one could discount them for lack of significance. But in truth, true wisdom is usually stated quite simply but is anything but simple.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time #182: Staying Sustained Through Change: Practices & Perspectives for Making Shifts with More Ease, we will dive into some of these such as:
And also we'll dive into some of the teachings in Overwhelmed and Over It about sustainable change and growth and apply them to whatever current shifts you are going through, including:
And I will walk you through practices to:

Self Empowerment.... Be Empowered... Own your Power ... Stand in your power ... these are words that we see and hear alot more these days, but what does embodying our power really mean? What is self-empowerment? What does sovereignty have to do with all of this?
How do you know if you are coming from your pure power rooted in wholeness or distorted power rooted in woundedness? How do you reveal where you are giving your power away - leaking power - in subtle but signifcant ways?
I've been exploring, researching and teaching self-empowerment as one of the 10 branches of self-love for over a decade. I first heard the word sovereignty in 2006 and it rang through my body like a deep truth I knew in my bones, but didn't have a mental understanding of.
Being the wordsmith and wisdom student I am, of course I looked up the current definitions of both - unsatifactory. I started studying power and realized pretty quickly how distorted our cultural concepts and expressions of power are. And I dove deep into where we as humans, especially women and girls, give away our power in unconscious ways. Or express power in distorted ways that actually diminish our influence.
Over the years I have created new defintions of power and sovereignty, practices to strengthen both, and ways to reveal where our leaks and strengths lie.
For starters - here's the definition of self-empowerment
Self-empowerment is choosing to take care of and responsiblity for your life by acting to create the life you really desire, without apology or requiring approval from others.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #4 of 4 in our Self Love Series, we'll dive into the top branch of the Tree of Self Love, Self Empowement: Power Leaks, Sovereignty, Embodying Our Pure Power :
I'll guide you through some self-reflection inquiries as well. If you have the Madly in Love With ME book or Overwhelmed and Over It, grab them as I'll be referencing them in our conversation and exploration.
And come over the Feminine Wisdom Cafe where I've posted the full definition of Sovereignty and we're inviting everyone to share what Sovereignty means to them.
See you there!

Join Christine Arylo for this Feminine Power Time, POWER PAUSE - HARMONIZE: 4 Inquiries to Shift Your Habits, Choices, & Relationships into Harmony for the Months Ahead. One of the four Power Pauses she shares each year, this one focused on what wise leaders and people do:
When you pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, your internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... you gain the power to reset habits that might have been okay in months prior but need a shift.
And you gain clarity on how to focus your life force so what you spend your time, energy & money creates what you desire.
Power pauses are personal and organizational leadership best practice, a wise way to run your business, organization or team. And I believe a must if you want to stay sustained and sane in a world in which we feel so much pressure to do so much. And then don’t have what we need to sustain ourselves.
Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within my Feminine Wisdom Way training, some virtually, some weekend retreats and some for companies and organizations.
I do this because this yearly practice of pausing 4x a year I believe is something most of us where not taught how to do, but when we do it, everything in our life works in better harmony. It’s how I run my life, business, partnership, relationships, and grow what is important to me.
Each power pause has a different focus and flavor depending on the time of the year.
In Feminine Power Time, I can’t share with you entire power pause process for March Equinox but I can give you a 50 minute power pause with 4 simple but mighty inquiries - like a mini Harmony Adjustment for your life
Bonus. What is ONE habit or pattern in your morning flow that isn't in harmony to keep doing into this next season? RELEASE this. Then what is ONE habit or pattern you can EMBRACE and place into your morning flow this next cycle?
We don’t give up everything or go militant. We choose a few things to elevate and release, and also receive pleasure too.
Tune in.
Listen to the power pause. Journal on the questions.
Invite a friend to do the Power Pause too and ask each other the questions. And support each other to make soul-aligned, supportive, sustainable choices.
With Great Heart

https://community.christinearylo.com/posts/12674162
Self-compassion, self-care and self-pleasure are three of branches of self-love that make up the 'heart line.' When these kinds of self love are strong within us, we are stronger and healthier in our hearts - emotionally, physically and spiritually.
With a strong heart line of self-love we are able to be both compassionate and courageous. Able to give sympathy and empathy to others, with healthy boundaries, and without becoming too emotionally entagled that we lose ourselves.
We have the internal foundation to both give and recieve, without guilt. Able to give to and support others and the work and causes we care for, and receive what we need to be sustained and valued in our exchange.
Instead of giving and giving like well that runs dry, we give and receive, so the water keeps flowing. So instead of feeling like we have to sacriifce our souls for work, success, stability or a cause, we feel nourished.
We RETAIN our radiance vs become dried up prunes, burned out lights, and self sacrificing martyrs or machines.
This heart line trifecta is core to our power, our presence and our personal wellness and happiness. But like most of the realms of self-love, few are educated on what self-compassion, self-care and self-pleasure really are. And even fewer are taught how to practically apply this to our lives, relationships, work, and choices.
Which is why in this episode of Feminine Power Time #180: The Heart of Self Love: Self-Compassion, Self-Care & Self-Pleasure (#3 of 4 in our Self Love Series) we will dive into each of these three branches including:
I'll lead you through a meditation for each branch to tune into the ENERGY of these branches and give you a PRACTICE for each. SO we can infuse this into your life now.
The truth is - we can do more for the world and those people and causes we love when we are full in our hearts.
Self sacrifice to the point of making ourselves sick, resentful and giving in ways that are not valued or given a harmonious exchange is a learned behavior. Supported by the burnout matrix.
You can choose to liberate yourself out of the burnout matrix, and in doing so, you unleash more of your radiance to be a light in this world.
Tune in. And then come to the personal wellness and leadership wisdom session - Overcoming Overwhelm - and we'll dive in more.

Here's the Self Love Tree -
What is self-trust? How do you know if your self trust is strong or weak? And how do you strengthen your self-trust? I would love to live in a world in which all people from 11 to 111 knew the answers to these questions... where we were taught the fundatmentals of self trust this from a very young age ... but alas, we are not there yet.
But change starts with each of us, so today we take a deep dive into self-trust, these inquiries and apply this self trust practically to your life now ... where you need it the most.
This episode of Feminine Power Time - "Strengthen Self Trust" is the 2nd in a 4 part series on Self-Love. Self-trust is one of the 10 branches of self-love.
When I created the body of self-love work that breaks self-love down so you can see where you are weak and strong, the metaphor of a tree came through. Self-trust is the trunk of the tree - everything stems from here. Self-acceptance is the root ball. Self-worth the roots.
Self trust is:
Choosing to listen to and follow the guidance of your inner voice, believing you know what is right for you, even when other people think or say otherwise.
Join me for this exploration as we:
Illuminate the signs of a weak and strong self trust
How self trust shows up in our careers, relationships and life choices.
I pinpoint from a self love perspective, what we need to do as adults to regain and rebuild self-trust
I take you through one of the most powerful self trust processes I created, to bring self love to the places and ways you have not followed and betrayed your inner knowing and guidance ... which when healed, keeps you from making unconscious choices.
If you want to learn more about self-trust, read chapter 8 in Madly in Love with ME and chapter 1 in Overwhelmed and Over It.
A little heads up: Be prepared to connect with yourself at a heart and self honesty level. Nothing to be scared of, going here is where your power and freedom is. Just wanted to let you know we aren't skimming the surface here when we dive into self-love.
I'll share my journey with self-trust from a self-love perpsective too. I wouldn't ask you to do something I have not done myself, more than one time.
With great heart,
Christine

In 2008, I founded the international Day of Self Love - February 13th - to bring a deeper and practical awareness and understanding to self-love. This was meant not to be one day to celebrate ourselves, but a day to pause and look within at our inner foundation, and reveal what kind of self-love we needed to receive and strengthen this coming year. And then practically choose to do so.
You see, "Do I love myself?" is not a yes/no question. There are areas you are strong and weak in. Areas that need tending THIS year. Self-love, or a lack of it, is at the root of the choices we make everyday, the big life choices, and the way we feel in relationship, career and own skin. Self love is primary to emotional, mental and physical wellness.
Our leadership presence. Our prosperity. Our sense of belonging and being valued. Our thoughts, emotions, health. All linked to self-love.
But most of us were never educated on the different kinds of self-love - what I call the 10 branches of self-love. And in the world of business, money and 'serious' things, self-love is often fluffed and woo wooed away. When honestly if self-love was part of primary education and a sign of a healthy leader, we'd have less narcissitics, less greed, and more of a society where sovereignty and unity could co-exist and healthy inter- connection was the norm.
There is SO much power in exploring and embodying each of the 10 branches of self-love which make up the "Self Love Tree."
Which is why, this month, we'll explore 4 of the primary branches, one at a time, with perspectives, a practice and inquiries to ponder. And then I encourage you to put them to practice to what you are desiring to create or dealing with in your life, career, wellness and relationships.
Today, in Episode 178: Self Acceptance & Self Worth we explore:
Self Acceptance is the base of the ROOT line of the self-love tree, and our bodies. So it informs everything from your self-care to your self-esteem and self-trust.
Tune in.
Try the practices.
Take a self love pulse check and make a self love promise this year.
And exhale - we are in this together.
Big heart,
Christine

Last Feminine Power Time we talked about the "meta" and "collective" - what the themes, energy and patterns are in the larger field as we go into 2022. This gives us wisdom for how to move through this year.
Today, we turn to the "personal" - what are the themes, awarenesses, perspectives and ways of looking at our lives and our choices within them. So we can walk through 2022 centered, sustained, focused on what matters, using this catalytic time for our good and the good of all. Without burning out, running back to normal or missing the possibility.
Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, 2022, Part Two.
I'll share with you a series of "S" themed wisdom and pesronal inquiries that I'm applying myself and using with all the leaders and communities I work with. The intention is to help us:
And I'll share some S themed wisdom bytes you can put in your pocket to guide your choices now and in the months to come.
Simplify.
Stability.
Slow then swift.
Soul-led.
And more.

Every year in January I wait to do this special Feminine Power Time session until the timing feels just right. This year, it was exactly just past the first full moon of 2022 (called "the wolf moon"), in the energy of the phase of the moon cycle all about initiating primal feminine power. Which is not about running into this year from fire like hit-the-ground running energy. Nor about mentally figuring it all out. Nor about waiting around for some new normal to settle in place.
The wolf is a symbol of free untamed feminine power, the teacher who guides through action. It reflects to us the need and desire to maintain our independence and sovereignty while also living and working in our packs, with time to play, create ... and rest.
I’ve been thinking of you all for the past two weeks and what would emerge to be shared on the yearly “Feminine Wisdom for The Year Ahead” episode. I always wait for the wisdom and focus to emerge ... which it did, yesterday during my morning practice.
After weeks of being in my own reflection and visioning process, watching what’s happening in the world, deepening in my own practice and listening for guidance from Wisdom with a capital W, once again, a series of ‘wisdom bytes’ flowed out.
It all popped out like a stew that had been cooking for weeks. That's letting the feminine lead, stillness then swiftness (which is a theme for this year especially, more on that).
Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, - 2022, a yearly occurrence here at Feminine Power Time. It’s not about fortune telling, it’s about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up.
Feminine wisdom teaches us to prepare for the intensity, uncertainty, transformation and change that is just part of how the world is operating right now.
Not to brace yourself for it, but to embrace it, pace yourself through it and cultivate the vitality, resilience and wisdom you’ll need to stay elevated above the fray and the chaos.
This year, we'll do this in a two-part series. Part one focused on the meta and part two the personal.
Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, leadership advisor and women’s leadership and empowerment teacher, as we dive in.
See you there!

There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Or maybe you are feeling like you'd rather just pull the cover over your head.
Don't let the chaos and pressure of the world or the should's of your self-induced pressure and thoughts swirl you up. Instead turn inward, tune into your heart and dare to tap into your deeper wisdom and desires and let those inspire and guide you.
Wisdom teaches us to use the power and practice of "inquiry" to consider the path before moving into action.
Not so we can have it all figured out like an agenda or project plan. But so we can be clear on our intentions, be connected to what's really in right timing, and to see what we can't see with our eyes but can sense with our deeper intuitive knowing ... if we slow down to listen.
Wisdom also teaches us ... the wisdom is within you for your most soul-aligned path ahead, the path that sustains you on all levels - mind, body, heart and spirit. And the portal into that wisdom is not in your mental mind, it's in your heart and body.
Every year I do an episode that takes us through 6 wisdom inquires feel would serve us to contemplate.
How we start the year creates the reality ahead. Use the practice of these six 'wisdom inquiries' so you can stay focused on what truly matters, create the realities for ourselves and the world that align with our deeper truth and desires, and realize sustainable success.
Six is the number that creates harmony.
Every year the inquires are different.
Because every year, we need differently inquiries to lead us to the possibilities we haven't even considered with our limited - often fear reactive - minds.
I comb through the many inquiries we use in the EMERGE Visioning Process to find 6 to "prime the pump" and open your visioning, intention setting and focusing for the year to come.
And this year, a bonus inquiry jumped in! A seventh inquiry. 7 is the number associated with going deeper than we've gone before so we can emerge in a more radiant, whole form. Perfect.

6 Wisdom Inquiries Shared in the Podcast
This year...
5.I would feel deeply nourished by…
6. What I most need to receive is … BONUS: Choose your 2022 HARMONIZING WORDS
In 2022, I desire to feel…
If the Universe had a directive for me keep coming home to, it would be…
In these intense times, where we are each being called to step forward... make changes, navigate uncertainty, do things differently... respond to the now, while re-imagining our future... it can all feel so overwhelming.
We need different ways to start our year, and vision, plan and create the year to come.
There are big misunderstandings in our culture about visioning, goal setting & achieving that stem from a "go, go , go, work hard, stay busy" mindset that many of us have been trained to operate from.... which honestly set us up for more pressure, overwhelm and self-criticism vs. true, sustainable success.
In this Feminine Power Time - #174: A Different Way to Start & Create Your Next Your we'll explore how to think about and go about the first 6 weeks of the year...setting your focus professionally and personally... and then working in "co-creation" all year.
Giving ourselves the space to rise up into the new year, and be intentional and tap into our intuitive intelligence to gain wisdom is how we stay focused on what matters, centered in ourselves, so you we stay fluid, meet what comes and expand into the possibility.
When you shift your relationship to how to start your year, you begin the year feeling healthy time pressure AND spaciousness, which sets up your year to feel the same.
We'll explore a different way to:
I will share three Feminine Wisdom Principles for Visioning and Intention Setting, including #1 and #3 and #8 - you will love these!
#1: Work with the natural cycles and mimic mother nature, not man-made constructs of time.
#3: Wise ones don't set goals or resolutions, or say "I want." Empowered beings desire and intend.
#8: Seek wisdom not answers. Seek a path not a plan.
I love sharing this deep and practical wisdom every year at this time as a different way to vision, succeed and reach out goals.
This year more than ever is the time to embrace doing things differently ... as a practice and a path.
Tune in.

(check out section 4 Liberate Your Time for the glyphs on Focused Fluidity and Healthy Time Pressure and Spans).
Most of us feel like we are not doing enough - in our day to day, towards our goals, for others in need or for the planet .
It's more likely we feel like we are always behind, like there is never enough time, and like we will never have the space to get to what matters most.
Why? Because we suffer from “Achievers Amnesia.” We forget, can't see, and don't feel what we have completed, done for others, or brought more into form or how we have made an impact in our relationships, teams, organizations and world.
Think about it this way… over the course of a year, you give so much to so many people and projects and do much to manage your daily demands while also working towards your dreams. And you forget how much you actually accomplish.
It’s way easier to see what you have not done vs. seeing all you have. So you keep driving, striving, working, until you drop from exhaustion or melt down because of overwhelm. Or you just keep persevering and pushing forward.
Achiever's amnesia is a mental disease that drives us into burnout, overwhelm and anxiety. It robs you of receiving the success and happiness you work so hard for.
Here's the remedy:
Today, in this Feminine Power Time podcast 173:Achievers Amnesia: 3 Proof Points You've Done More Than You Think, we'll get the juices flowing, in ways that open your body and being up to see and feel just how much your presence and effort has made a difference in your dreams and goals AND with the people and life on this planet.
We'll shine a light on 3 proof points and I'll take you through an embodied meditation so you can feel the impact + give yourself some space to replenish and rest.
Tune in.
Take the love and wisdom in.

While the holiday marketing and messages promise us tidings of peace and joy, the reality is that the consciousness of overculture is set to get you and I to buy more, consume more, and do more.
And while we all want more meaningful connection, it's way too easy to say yes to things because of obligation, habit or fear of missing out.
Every year as we go into December, we take a stand for us all here at Feminine Power Time to do things differently - in how we make our choices for how we spend our time, money and energy so that come the new year WE FEEL SUSTAINED and REPLENISHED - emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially and mentally.
We choose to implement our practice of the "December Downshift" - so that we can begin the new year reset, replenished and rested.
This Feminine Power Podcast - 172 Avoid Holiday Overwhelm. 3 Practices to You Calm Centered Clear -builds on the previous podcast, so be sure to tune both. And then use the inquiries and the practices to support you to make small and bigger choices that sustain vs. drain you.
Here are 3 of the practices I'll share:
1. Practice #1: Create an intentional time span that creates both focus + space for what you need personally, relationally + professionally. From now through January 11th.
2. Practice #2: Make your choices in Nov & Dec based on how you want to feel physically, emotionally, & mentally and in your spirit as you start 2022. Choose your 4 Holiday Harmonizers.
3. Practice #3: Embrace & Do What Feels Sustaining. Release & Redesign What Feels Draining. Including releasing doing things out of pressure, obligation, guilt, FOMO, “it’s tradition” or over-connecting. And mimicking the over-culture.
Plus I will lead you through a few visualizations and meditations that will help you tune into your deeper wisdom for what to say YES to, NO to, so you can stay true to yourself, even if that means disappointing another or doing things differently.
And I'll share wisdom on how to mimic the natural world to make December and January supportive and self empowering.
Tune in.

I have a question for you: "Would you like to start the new year feeling clear - mentally & emotionally? Like your physical space to feel clear and coherent? Like to be free of some of the relationship drama or distress in your personal or professional relationships?"
Imagine how you would feel if you had more space in the last few weeks of this year and the first few weeks of next year.
Are you exhaling yet?
Of course our answers to this possibility are YES! Starting the new year clear is not just a nice to have - it's what any wise person would do.
But how do you 'do' that? Especially in the intense year(s) we've been through?
My council has been the same for a decade, and it's even more essential in the times we are living in. The wisdom is clear:
You put into place simple but mighty practices that empower to you make choices that lead to you working and living and feeling in the f.l.o.w. (Focusing Lifeforce On What matters.
The practice I will guide you through today is called a Power Pause (a short and simple one). Power Pauses use the wisdom tool of 'intuitive thinking inquiries' that reveal insights you miss if you only operate from your mental mind vs your higher and heart mind.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time: a Power Pause: 3 Inquiries That Will Support Complete the Year Feeling Clear, I will share the FLOW practice I use myself every year at this time, and we do as part of living and working the feminine wisdom way.
It includes 3 inquiries that will help you
I will also share some very specific examples of what I do to create space, relief and release this way - including just releasing 3800 emails in one hour!
Do this short power pause with me now and then come to the full Year End Reflection Ritual and Power Pause on Dec 19th www.ReflectionRitual.com
So grateful we are connected!
With heart

WORK WISE + LIVE WELL is the HOW we get relief from the burnout, overwork, anxiety, and overwhelm. How we stop ourselves and the organizations we work in or run ourselves from accepting the grind, the push, the hustle as the norm.
Without new language, models, elevated perspectives + space to practice and trust doing things differently, we stay stuck in our current reality or make it just a little better.
As we start to tap into true WISDOM, we become empowered to use our voices and choices to create realities for ourselves, those we love & lead, our organizations and teams, and this world that are rooted in sustainability, wellness, connection and prospering for people and planet.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #170 Work Wise Live Well, #3 of 3 in our Overworked and Over It Series, we will explore:
3 models + 3 practices + 3 acts of harmonic defiance
for releasing ways of working that burn us out + embracing new ways that have the power to create sustainable success, wellness + a life we can savor.
We will explore models that illuminate the distorted and unhealthy way of working and thinking that's created our current society and norms, and shine the light on other ways to approach achieving, succeeding and thriving, including:
We'll also share practices for:
This episode was originally delivered as one of my quarterly/monthly Wisdom Sessions. For the past 7+ years I've held a wisdom session on 11.11 focusing on how we can tap into our deeper wisdom - our crazy wisdom - to do things differently, make courageous, wise choices that are aligned with our heart desires and soul path.

Time. It's one of those things that we all wish we had more of, and one of those things that contributes to the every day pressure we feel under. But did you ever... consider that time is a human made system? Or notice that many of the deadlines, must-get-done-by's, and must-do-this-nows put on us by others or generated by ourselves are in many cases preferences or unnecessary time constraints?
I have spent ALOT of time thinking about time - lol. Going deeper underneath to find the roots of the pressure, burnout, stress, anxiety and driving forces that force us to work and operate in crazy-paced, unrealistic ways.
As I was writing Overwhelmed and Over It, I wrote 20,000 words on Liberating ourselves from the time constraints and toxic time pressures that are just not necessary. We've just accepted the pace and pressure of how we work as normal but it's anything but 'normal' for a healthy planet and healthy humans.
For this podcast, Transforming Tight Time Constraints & Toxic Time Pressure (#2 of 3 in our Overwhelmed and Over It Series, which will lead us into the Work Wise. Live Well. Wisdom Session).... I combed through the book to find three pieces of wisdom + 3 practices and actions you can take now to release yourself from the ways of working that are rooted in undue time pressure and ideals.
Here's some of what we will explore:
To see glyphs of what I am talking about and get the inquiries I mention, refer to Section 4: Liberate Your Time in the Overwhelmed and Over It book.

Share? If you think this would resonate with another person, forward it and share it. That's how wisdom does it's work!
Burnout, overwhelm, feeling like we have too much to do with not enough time, resources or support, struggling to find work/life balance is not new, our bodies breaking down because the stress is too much, our minds unable to slow down, feeling like it's all on us.
It's been our reality especially as women for MANY decades. The catalyst of the pandemic, chaos, intense weather, etc are outpicturings that we have hit the boiling point ... as a society, a culture, and individuals.
The truth is:
How we have been imprinted, educated and expected to work is not sustainable, healthy or human.
And when I say work, I don't just mean what you do to receive money. I mean ALL the things you give your life force and time to, including those people, communities and causes you parent, care for and tend to.
Consider this: We are at standing at the place where we can make great shifts in short time spans... if we are willing to take a stand, say NO MORE to what doesn't work and isn't really necessary or healthy, and say YES to do things differently. Even if that means disappointing another, disrupting a pattern, & dismantling structures.
But how do we 'do' that ? Without overwhelming ourselves or just quitting our jobs and lives and creating an even more unsustainable reality?
This is what I have spend the last decade plus researching, living and defining, and what became the foundation for the Overwhelmed and Over It book.
In this three part series, Overworked and Over It: I combed through the book pulled out 3 principles, practices and perspectives that give us the power to spot the B.S. ways of working that burn people and planet out... and then give us the wisdom to do it differently.
These are specific simple but significant acts you can take in your day to day life, now to do what i call "Work Wise. Live Well" ... as you begin to make different choices, you start to see the distorted internal imprints & external norms you've been responding from, and you gain the insight to make wiser choices for yourself, others and your organizations.
In this episode #168 of Feminine Power Time "Overworked and Over It: Stop Filing the Gaps & Giving 110%" we will explore 3 wisdom teachings for working wise + inquiries and practices you can use in your day to day to make different, more sustainable choices:
Wisdom for Working Wise:

Anger and grief are good human emotions. They have the potential to open up so much for us - individually and collectively. Lead to healing, breaking down barriers, breaking through to better realities.
The problem is that most humans weren't taught how to express anger or grief in healthy ways, so it comes out sideways in distorted ways, or it gets stuffed down until we blow up or get sick. Sometimes we are the receiver of that big emotional eruption and other times we are the "unleasher" or "erupter" on someone else.
Join me for this Feminine Power Time conversation - Sacred Rage. Holy Grief. - where we explore perspectives and practices around dealing with the kind of rage and grief that comes from people's/our wound, and how to it differently in ways that lead to wholeness. We will explore inquiries like:
How do we...
See below for some of the practices I mention in the podcast.
I've been contemplating this topic for weeks and weeks, waiting for the right moment to arise. Today it did.

This is a special broadcast of a letter I wrote to from my heart to the hearts of the women around the world when I was writing Overwhelmed and Over It: Embrace Your Power to Stay Centered and Sustained in a Chaotic World.
I often write a letter when writing a book, to help me tap into the heart and soul of why i am writing this book, and why I feel so passionate about sharing the perspectives, wisdom and stories enclosed in it.
For this book, that letter became the opening. Today, on the one year anniversary of its publication, I am sharing it FIRST here with you on Feminine Power Time as a special podcast broadcast.
Why? Because every time I sit down to create and tape a Feminine Power Time, I intend to connect with you heart to heart... to be real... to share openly... to bring insight and wisdom... and to be space where you can deeply tap into your deep internal wisdom.
For 5 years, the listeners of this podcast have been with me, here, having these conversations that much of the world is just waking up to.
The world's been crazy for a long time. It's just now, it's catalyzing at warp speed, because we MUST change. People and the planet have been burning out for decades if not centuries.
But the game isn't over.
You and I are the makers, creators, mothers of the world ... we shape culture by how we make our choices and use our voices ... we create reality ... but not if we get swirled into the swirl, can't see the systemically-generated and self-induced burnout games and structures.
AND we need each other, to help us tap into what is real, she what is needed, and then from our deep wisdom, embrace our power to choose differently and say NO MORE to what's not working.
So today... I share this with you...
Get some tea or vino or pelligrino. Or just take a chill moment in the sun. And tune in.
May this release some pressure and create more courage and clarity and connection for you today.
with great heart,
Christine

And remember... Join us in the Feminine Wisdom Cafe, where courageous conscious women gather, including a special group exploring and experimenting with the wisdom in this book. Go here to learn more, it's free.
In the third part of our series on Staying Sane in an Insane World, we activate one of the most subtle but absolutely potent powers we have ... the power of inquiry and contemplation.
We are trained in our over culture to value and work with questions and answers to drive to a conclusion, usually as fast as possible. "Time is money." And we are imprinted with a value system that says we must have the answer, if we don't we risk looking a fool, being called out or being discounted.
But operating this way - in a mindset about quick answers vs. contemplation and consideration... in a world that values confidence over curiosity.... keeps us stuck in the consciousness and realities that don't work for us individually or collectively. Unhealthy, insane ways of working, relating and living.
In a wiser, healthy culture, one that values the feminine, we practice the art of inquiry and contemplation to open up possibility and to gain clarity.
For this session of Feminine Power Time I chose 4 inquiries that I use often in making choices everyday. They are the same ones I use when I am working with a leader to unlearn the distorted approach to growth, goal setting and management, and to learn a different, wiser, healthier way of working.
As I lead you through these 4 inquiries, bring a challenge, a catalyst, a situation you are working or that is working you. And we can apply it to inquiries and see what emerges!
Some of what we'll explore:
The power of wonder. Inquiry: I wonder...
The power of quintessence. Inquiry: What is at the core? What is the essence?
The power of seeing beyond your five senses to shift out of fear into a response that leads to harmony and healin. Inquiry: What's real? What's needed? What do I need?
The power of choosing to move forward consciously vs waiting for change to kick you in the butt. Inquiry: How do we/I move forward from here?
See you there!

It's time to activate and utilize one of the most powerful tools we have to stay centered, sustained and focused on what matters - the Power Pause.
This practice gets us focused the last 3 months / 4 moon cycles of the year. And does wonders for keeping us healthy in an unhealthy world.
There are many things you could do these last 3 months of the year, but what is really most important to you? What will bring you the best returns ? And what shifts in your habits, patterns, and structures are needed to support you in this last cycle?
Wise women know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support them to grow their work, wealth and relationships, to support their health, and to keep them focused on what matters.
The September Equinox offers you insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported.
In this Feminine Power Time : POWER PAUSE: Reflect, Rebalance and Reset Your Focus at Equinox ... and exhale! 4 Inquiries to Get Focused on What Matters Most the Last Part of this Year & Feel Good About What You've Already Done...
Women's leadership and empowerment advisor and teacher, Christine Arylo, marries her MBA business background with 15+ years of wisdom and spiritual study in practical ways that can support you to elevate out of overwhelm, stay focused on what matters, shift sabotaging habits and take care of small things that make a big difference.
Tune into this Power Pause and:
Be led through a visualization and meditation to:
Power Pauses are a form of feminine leadership which teaches us to work in harmony with the natural cycles of how the material and mystical world both work. Part of her Feminine Wisdom School and Feminine Leadership Programs Arylo teaches how to use this ancient wisdom and way of working to apply to creating a life and work that creates an impact and is sustainable.
UPCOMING EVENTS & PROGRAMS
In the second part of our series on Staying Sane in an Insane World, this week we press the "elevate" button to get a wider, higher view of what's happening in our world landscape.
This practice of "pressing the elevate button" is how we find wisdom amongst the madness, find our way to center in the midst of chaos, and open up possibility, compassion and connection instead of more of the same game humankind has been stuck in some thousands of years.
I've been contemplating what I would share in this podcast "4 Perspectives for Staying Sane in an Insane World" as I've been in deep listening and observing mode.
What I share are four perspectives to contemplate, consider, chew on, try on and be curious about. Take what resonates, leave the rest. All I ask is you come with an open heart and mind, in service to us each unlocking ourselves and all beings and life from the consciousness that just no longer serves.
Some of what we'll explore:
Plus I will sing a little diddy for you at the end.
Share the English paper I wrote that broke my heart open and opened my wise woman eyes.
I'll end us with a short meditation and leave you with these words:
Who do you choose to be?
Remember your personal healing matters.
Believe your personal choices matter.
How will you give your gifts and voice to create the world you know in your heart is possible?
See you there!

The word sane means free from mental disturbance. I would add emotional disturbance too. The kinds that creates confusion, doubt, impulsive choices, procrastination and all kinds of the commotion we might be feeling within, and are seeing spinning in our world.
While we cannot stop the insanity we see happening in our world and the people within it at a whole new level these days (or even may be feeling ourselves)... there are things we can DO to stay sane, sustained, centered and focused on what matters.
We 'do' these things - called practices - not just when the wave of insanity becomes a tsunami or a tropical storm. The wise ones put these into place proactively, we design our lives, the way we work, think and operate with them.
Our daily and weekly practices are the structures that hold us no matter what is happening around us.
Our practices give us the space to have our human emotions and release them out of our system so we can respond from an elevated, higher frequency, more humane consciousness that opens people and possibility up vs. creating more polarity and unhelpful chaos.
Our practices give us wisdom.
So we can use our creative life force to create the world we desire for ourselves, each other, and those we love, lead and influence.
So here's what we are going to do these next three episodes of Feminine Power Time focused on "Staying Sane in an Insane World" ... Start with 4 practices for staying emotionally & mentally healthy & clear in this episode #162. Then perspectives. Then possibilities.
We are going to be with what is, and use our super power to lighten up, be the creators and the makers, and ensure we have what we need to make clear, supportive choices and navigate when we 'fall off our surfboard'.
Tune in and I'll share more about the practices:
CREATE
CONVERSATE & COUNCIL
CENTER & CONNECT TO YOUR CORE
CLEAR YOUR FIELD
Did you know that the root of the word SANE means healthy?
Which means we are diving into how to Stay Healthy in an Unhealthy World.
Just think about that re-frame ... if you let your wise being eyes see the unhealthy worlds and realities... and you make a choice to stay healthy - mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, relationally and materially at this time - how would that inform or guide your daily, weekly and bigger choices.
Something to ponder ... and put into practice :)
With great heart,
Christine

You and I have the super power to consciously choose to catalyze ourselves vs. wait to be catalyzed the a 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.
The feminine super power of catalyze is: the power to use the situations that life brings you as liberators and elevators that lift YOU & OTHER 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 as a result take a self empowered step into your soul's evolution, liberating yourself to a more full, true, empowered expression.
When you shift how what'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, freeing and expressing.
Look around your life right now - at your work, your relationships, your physical foundation of health, wealth and home. Ask yourself:
What would I LOVE to catalyze in my life right now?
What is already being catalyzed in your life? And if you named it, you could powerfully start working with it vs it working you.
Then Join me for episode 161 of Feminine Power Time - Feminine Super Power: Catalyze! Release the comfortable. Embrace the call to shift.
This is practical wisdom in action - to apply to whatever is catalyzing or wants to be in your life. We'll dive into:
We'll reveal and identify:

When people ask me how I am doing, I always say to them "I am in the yoga of life." It's the most accurate, honest and frankly rewarding answer. Twenty years ago when I found yoga and it found me, I didn't realize how much it would re-shape how I saw the world, and honestly how much it would prepare me for this world today. I can honestly say that I would not be able to do what I do, be the person I am, without it.
Yoga is so much more than being bend, meditating for hours or proving our strength by how long you can hold a pose, or if you can do a handstand.
Yoga means union.
The physical practice of yoga is just one gateway into what is a well of golden wisdom that the yogis left for us to meet the times we are in. It's like then knew 'this' - today's intense world - was coming.
And while I talk about yogic wisdom all the time, and it's informed so much of my teachings, I also find that we have a lot of misperceptions about yoga in the western world. And there's so much more to it that is right there, if we are willing to open up to it.
Which is why I invited a new friend, Patsy Kuo Eisenstein, a native of Taiwan who moved to the US at the age of 20, and host o f the New & Ancient Story Community to join us for a special "wise woman tea" session of Feminine Power Time: #160: Living Life as A Yoga, Yogi Perspectives for Thriving in Our Times.
We invite you to join us as we look through the eyes of the yogi, through our personal journey with yoga, the practice of yoga not just on the mat, but in every area of our lives, and how yoga as a way of life is core to our ability to serve this world and stay sustained within ourselves.

What's still forming...
1. 2021 Women's Wisdom Quest & Live Gatherings - virtual last year, may be this year too. As well as some in person, intimate gatherings in Austin, Arizona, and Seattle.

3. Path of Self Love 12-week training: Self Love Essentials - www.PathofSelfLove.org
Classes on Intuitive Thinking and Intuition and on Feminine Leadership: Power, Presence and Purpose.
If you are making choices that stretch you out of your comfort zone or go against the status quo you should expect fear to bubble up. It's normal and human.
But how do you deal with the confusion, doubt, anxiety, frustration, impatience in a way that empowers you to make wise choices? And how do you get past it to find the wisdom that will actually guide you to making the wise and aligned choice for you?
The truth is that most of us were not taught how to work with the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic responses and reactions our bodies, minds, hearts and psyches have when we make choices that stretch us, or trigger past trauma, hurt or suffering.
But when you know how to work with both the parts of you that react from fear and past trauma or cultural or familial imprints AND the part of you connected to your true soul design and heart desires, you can the super power to elevate out of the doubt and confusion, into a inner knowing that empowers you to take action.
In #2 of our Making Wise Choices series on Feminine Power Time with me, Christine Arylo, "Is Fear or Wisdom Guiding You? Clear Confusion & Doubt to Get to Your Truth": we will dive into:
Bring whatever choices you are working with. You don't have to navigate this alone!

You make choices every day. Every choice we make - big or small - affects the shape of our lives and the reality we live. But most of us were not taught how to make wise decisions.
We’ve been taught to be logical, and practical, but decisions about your life made from only the intellect often lead you to creating realties that limit you, burn you out, keep you from what you truly desire.
In changing, intense times like we live in, where we are each making choices - in our career, relationships, business, money and health - you cannot just rely on your intellect or what the mainstream world is telling you to make courageous and wise choices.
Many of the choices I see women being faced with right now are also causing us to have to stretch outside our comfort zones … which can create feelings of fear and doubt… confusion and procrastination… and stress!
If you want to make choices that lead to a reality that supports you vs sacrifices you, you have to access both your heart wisdom and intuitive power first … have the inner skill to work with your own fear and confusion to find clarity… and then have the courage to make choices that will often look differently than others. And for this you need super powers, truly.
Which is why I decided to create this 3 part series on Feminine Power Time for you “Making Wise Choices”.
This first episode is focused on one of the super power tools I believe is essential … but most people lack. It’s called “Cultivating Your Wisdom Council” — without this I don’t think it is possible to stay focused on what matters, and make truly wise choices.
So tune in … I taped this on location in Northern California at the home of one of my soul sisters on my Wise Woman Council. during a weekend in which I came to visit 3 of the members of my council to help me make some big choices about my business and organization, and the shape of the reality those choices would create.
What I will share today is:
I also have two daring acts for you to put this into place in your life now.
Bring the choices and challenges you are facing ... and let's get you set up to have the support you need to stay clear and stay connected to what is true for you.
see you next week!
much love,
Christine

Are the choices you are making creating freedom for you? Or are you unknowningly creating realities that keep you stuck, stressed and out of alignment with what you truly desire? Most of us subconsciously make choices that laden us down vs. liberate us... but how do you know?
Take a power pause with Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and wisdom teacher to shine a light on the ways in which you may be sabotaging your own freedom, so you can make sure you are making choices that lead to creating a life that supports and sustains what truly matters to you. In this episode of Feminine Power Time you'll gain wisdom on:
Make a conscious choice to gain the wisdom, tools and practices to keep you on your path, even if that means stepping outside of conventional wisdom and your comfort zone... And keep yourself out of overwhelm and burnout.
I originally taped this episode in 2018, and re-taped the intro this year, during what I call "Liberation Weekend" - July 4th in the US. It's a powerful portal to liberate yourself from the unconscious constraints, judgements, expectations, and beliefs limiting and binding you.
May this bring you more awareness and more courage to make choices that create a life and career design that supports, sustains and empowers you to prosper on all levels.

Most of us feel like we don't have the time we need to do what we really want, get what we need or do the things that might not be productive or profitable but are actually the things that feed us the most and that have the potential to catalyze us into the expressions, intentions and dreams we have for ourselves, our work and the world.
Wisdom Byte: If you are waiting to find the time, you will never find the time. Time is finite. You can't make time - there is no time kitchen. And you can't find more time - time is not lost.
What we need is not more time. What we need is the 'space' to take care of the demands of our current lives AND feed the desires still coming into form AND nourish our hearts and souls and bodies with things that may not be 'productive' or 'profitable' but that sustain us in big ways.

Inquiries:
What do I DESIRE space for ... What do I NEED space for ...
In my relationships?
In my body?
In my work?
Just for myself?
We have huge misunderstandings of what creativity is, and how relevant and essential it is to every sector of our society, our economy, our wellness and happiness and our families. Creativity is not just about making a painting or a piece of ‘art.’
Some of the greatest thinkers and scientists have also said what the artists and sages have always known - imagination and intuition are more powerful than the intellect. It's our capacity to imagine and tune into a more expanded field of consciousness that inspires us, illuminates possibility for us, and both heals, awakens and empower us.
Yet, if you look at the over-culture we live in, wow, it's set up to keep us from this primal, innate creative power.
Our schools have cut back on creativity as part of core curriculum, instead they are over-focused on memorizing and accepting conventional thought and scientific proof as the only reality.
Women’s creativity is often diminished into “arts and crafts”, scrapbooking or a nice “hobby.”
And most people don’t see themselves as artists or artistically talented, because they can't paint or draw in a what is deemed beautiful, so they shy away from being “creative”.
This and more is keeping up from the truth of how creativity lives within each of us. Distancing us from our power and potential to create different realities for ourselves and the world. And keeps us from potent self-healing techniques that we could be using to release trauma, move through challenging emotions, and navigate these intense times.
Consider this... wisdom that emerged from this conversation and wise woman tea between myself and Shiloh Sophia McCloud, founder of the Center for Intentional Creativity (and my dear friend of almost 15 years), which we are inviting you to:
"People have mixed up talent and creativity. If you think you are not talented, you think you are not creative. Which is not true. EVERYONE is creative.
Creativity is the natural innate life force that exists in every person and how you chose to create it."
Join us for this special "Wise Woman Tea" with Arylo and Shiloh, to top off our series of Embracing Your Power to Create the World You Wish to Live In. In our wise woman tea episodes I invite a woman who has dedicated her life to living and learning a specific wisdom tradition or lineage, and has founded and brought forth this wisdom in practical ways that can empower us in these intense and changing times.
In Episode 158 we focus on The Power & Practice of Intentional Creativity for Navigating and Thriving in Our Times we will explore:
In the episode, Shiloh and I will share and talk about Intentional creative processes and physical practices that give us the power to:
Join us for the conversation and the exploration. And then take what you learn and start bringing the practice of intentional creativity into your DAILY life.

See you there!

Co-Creation is the practice and path we all have as humans to create the realities we live in - individually and collectively - but few of us were ever educated on HOW we do that. Co-creator. Hmmm. Just read that word a few times. CO CREATOR. CO CREATE. What does that even mean?
I am the co-creator of my reality?
And, consider this... if you knew how to 'co-create' as a path and practice for how you approach all parts of your life and work, and all the problems you see around you or experience yourself, what possibility and potentiality could that open up for you?
Can you imagine that there are realities you can't even see, yet??
Do you know how to trust the process to unfold? Do you know how to be in active relationship with the process in a way that keeps you expanding into possibility?
This is why we are doing this 3 part series on Embracing Your Power to Create the World You Desire to Live In. To educate, explore, experiment and experience this power we have within us to make change, do things differently, shift this world, stop patterns and habits that keep us and others trapped in suffering.
Embracing your power as a Co Creator, which is an act of both humility and honoring, opens up the potential for us to truly be what the wisdom teachings have always said we could be:
We are the ones who dream reality into being through our imagination and intuition. We are meant to work with the Universe, each other and the earth. And when we do, we co-create a society that reflects wholeness and wellness, and empowers all life to prosper.
When we stop looking out there for the answers, the safety and security, and the ways we should think and believe, we open our hearts and minds to a deeper truth that reflects the soul of the earth & humankind ... which by nature creates forms and organizes life in ways that create harmony.
Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time with leadership advisor and social impact leader Christine Arylo: 157: Be The Co Creator of Your Reality
As we stand here at this time on the planet, our ability not just to believe but to experience that we have the power within, through our choices and voices, to be the creators of this world, is like a life line for us.
When you practice co creation as how you live, you feel so much more connected... so much more trusting... so much more alive... so less like a victim or the master controller of the universe, and so much more like you are held, guided and empowered to live well, and be part of humankind finding a better more loving way to live.
See you there

Have you ever looked around at the world, an aspect of society, or the organization you work and felt like WTF !? This is not working for me. This seems crazy? Sometimes we feel empowered to 'do' something about it, and others, we feel overwhelmed, like there's nothing I can do to change this reality?
We have more power than we know.
As humans, we are 'makers' of culture.
We create the culture by how we grow & change ourselves, how we interact with others, what we choose to 'make' & the choices we make.
Here's a few wisdom bytes about our power to be 'makers' of the cultures we live in, from our own inner culture of self, to our family and tribe, to our teams and organizations and from there society.
This wisdom is potent and practical, if you know how to apply it and use it.
Which is why we are doing this 3 part series, diving into 3 realms of where our power lies to do things differently, to be conscious creators of reality and culture and society and our lives. Archetypes we have within us that we can access to be and feel empowered to see where we can make shifts: the Mother, the Maker, & the Co-Creator.
Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time with leadership advisor and social impact leader Christine Arylo: 156: Be a Maker of Culture: Embrace Your Power To Create the World You Desire to Live In and explore:
One of the things I think you will really love after this conversation is starting to see how your choices just in your very own life have the power to shift this world, and the environments around you.
May this session ignite your power of Harmonic Defiance ... to make choices that align for you, even if they are different than those around you, choices that create more HARMONY for you and others, and as a result create a world in more harmony.
We'll end with a super powered way to make this practical in your life today.

We have so much power within to create the world we desire to live in, for ourselves, those we influence and our society - but in the current reality, with the current stressors, we face, that can seem so far away or like self help rah rah. When it's anything but.
Knowing where our power is to take the pressure off, create space for ourselves, receive what we need, focus our energy and resources is essential for anyone who wants to make an impact, in a way in which you are sustained do. This is where our feminine power comes in.

Hello Dear One ... Every May I love to re-listen to and re-share this episode on MOTHER LOVE which I recorded in 2017, and the wisdom still stands... and the message still so needed for us all to hear, contemplate and put into practical action.
Mother Love is so much more than we think it is.) So many of us are feeling stretched - being called to make changes, expansions, trust. In times like you need more "mother love" - it's so powerful! MOTHER LOVE does not just come from your birth mother.
And since most of us aren't taught what that is or how to source it, I am replaying this Feminine Power Time. If you've never heard it, tune in. If you have, re-listen this is medicine and a message that will bring clarity, confidence and courage to you at this time....
Next week we will start our three part series on how we can tap into and focus our feminine creative power to birth, make and co create the world we desire to live in. For now, soak in the Mother Love.
Much love to you xoxo Christine
"THERE IS A GREAT MOTHER LOVE AVAILABLE THAT CAN ACT AS THE SAFE AND SOFT HARBOR YOU NEED TO STAND STRONG + FEEL SUPPORTED. IT WILL HOLD YOU, SOOTHE YOU, AND GIVE YOU UNSTOPPABLE COURAGE."
When you read the words ‘mother love’ you likely go right to thinking about the mother who gave birth to you or the mother who raised you. And while that mother definitely has a role to play in our lives, she cannot be our only source of “mother love.”
Mother love is... a specific kind of love that every human being needs – we don’t outgrow the need for it, although we sadly forget how much we do need it.
Mother love is… the deep, all-embracing, all-accepting, nourishing, nurturing, warm, safe, supportive love that soothes the places inside our hearts that feel scared and lonely.
Mother love is… the strong love that we can fall into when we are stressed, stretched, uncertain, and feeling like we just can’t handle what’s happening in our life.
Sourcing Mother Love is not something most of us were taught how to do. In this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo: Mother Love: The Feminine Love That Will Hold You Through Transition:

This book is at it's heart mother love ... first advocating for ourselves and those we love and lead to be sustained, nurtured, cared for, safe, supported ... so then we can create organizations, a society, a culture, a world that reflects that for all people and planet.
I am so over the moon thrilled to be able to mark this point of the Feminine Power Time podcast with you - 5 years - with 5 being a number that signifies transformation. Which is the time we are in!
I have been contemplating for the past few weeks what this episode should focus on, how it can support you during this transformational times and how Feminine Power Time can be a structure, support and space for you.
The center point of Feminine Power Time has always been about embracing our power to create the world we desire to live in. For ourselves. For those we love, lead and influence. For what matters to you in this world.
It's my response to breaking through what keeps us from access our full wisdom and power.
It's a space I create for you to come weekly to turn off the chaos or chatter of the outside world, to more deeply tune into what is true and real and aligned for you.
It's a playground and a gathering place for us to explore different ways of being, living, leading and succeeding.
Whether you just found us or you have been here for years, I am grateful for our connection. I look forward to this special conversation with you.
Tune in.
We are just getting started .... in what it really means to embrace our power to create the world we desire to live in. What that means practically. What we need to support us to keep stepping forward. And how we do this TOGETHER.
With great heart
Christine
p.s. I will share the genesis story of how Feminine Power Time came to be.
p.p.s.
Sustainable success. Soul-aligned life. That can sound like self help mumbo jumbo. Wishful thinking. Buzzwords. Or like, sure I will get around to that when I am not so overwhelmed just trying to deal with my current reality.
Add to that, that we are so conditioned by this over-culture to look for the quick fix, or the promise of some nirvana, and it's obvious why the levels of depression, anxiety, doubt, stress, fatigue, and burnout have gone up not down in the last four decades.
Which is why in this third episode, we are going to get real about what it really means to CHOOSE to live a soul-aligned, sustainable life, in all areas of our lives, including how we work, run businesses, choose projects and make choices.
Sustainable success and a soul aligned life is not a goal you achieve and mark off the list as complete.
It is a path, a practice and a choice.
It is the how you co-create and cultivate this a reality in which you:

If we just keep taking more on - in our work, in our relationships, and world - we will burn out, get sick and not have the impact we desire to make, nor receive the lives our hearts and souls crave.
But we can't help ourselves - most of us feel over stretched and over whelmed because we keep taking more on, as if it's our only choice. Something has to give, and this time, it cannot be you.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time: #2 of 3 in our Soul Aligned Sustainable Success, Christine Arylo, author of Overwhelmed and Over It! takes us into a conversation that will:
Wisdom Byte: The systems have not sufficiently changed to support women in the workforce, so we just kept doing more! Because we had to.
We'll explore and expand possibility by looking at two of the imprints that drive us to make unsustainable choices in our lives, relationships, career and work. And RELEASE those. And learn two self sustaining imprints to embrace instead.
Imprint #6: Release: It's better to give than receive. Embrace: It's better to give AND receive. Imprints that we inherit from our family and how we were educated that cause us to value how much we sacrifice ourselves or how much burden or pressure we can carry.
Imprint #7: Release: Work Hard to Succeed. Embrace: Work Wise to Thrive. Which causes you to plug the holes and needs of the systems and people around you, like the little Dutch Boy.
And two self sustainability practices for doing things differently, to work wise.
Just give enough.
Don't plug the holes. Let the system re-shape itself.
See you there!

You can do and be anything. And you to have to make choices. Our choices day to day and in big life decisions create our reality.
But how do you make sure that the choices you are making daily and in big life design, career path, financial, relationship are actually 'in alignment' for you? In alignment with your heart and soul, not just your ego? And why does this matter?
What I've learned in the decade plus I've been researching the root causes of burnout, overwhelm, self sacrifice and the rise in depression and disease within women, one thing I found was this:
No matter how educated or smart, most women did not receive the wisdom, training or education we needed to make soul-aligned, supportive choices, that keep us rooted in our personal truth, innate wisdom and internal self-worth.
So we end up creating realities in how we work, design our relationships and lives that are not truly in alignment with what feels aligned and in harmony - which has so many implications and so much wisdom that you'll just have to tune in :)
I started this series to open up a conversation, illuminate wisdom and give you some things to consider as you look at the way you design your life, relationships, career, mission, work, business if you are an entrepreneur, from here.
In #1 of our three part series on Feminine Power Time: Soul-Aligned Sustainable Success, we will dive in to 4 nuggets of wisdom, elevated perspectives for you to consider about "Soul-Aligned Choices"
We cannot have success and won't feel truly successful professionally or personally if we don't expand our understanding of success to include our heart and soul.Here's some of what we will dive into:
What are soul-aligned choices, and what does this have to do with your daily life, career, chosen work and relationships?
How do you know when your choices and realities are in alignment for you, and when the are not?
How to tell when something that was once in alignment is no longer in alignment so you can make different choices, without creating distress and or getting a Universal 2x4 wake up.
What practices and support structures you want to have in place so you have the clarity and wisdom to make soul aligned choices that lead to sustainable - vs. distress making - change and shifts.
Go deeper. Make this real in your life.

Join Christine Arylo for this Feminine Power Time, 4 Inquiries to Get Your Habits and Choices into Harmony for the Months Ahead. One of the four Power Pauses she shares each year, this one focused on what wise leaders and people do:
Illuminate the imbalances in the different realms of your life - so they don't become drama, disease, disaster and distress
Shift habits and patterns in your daily life that might have been aligned before, but need to shift as you head into this next cycle
Focus on and committ to the intentions, projects, relationships that are ready and ripe to grow and prosper
Set a new rhythm for your day and week that supports and sustains where you are now, and what you are creating and managing these next three months, into June Solstice.
When you pause at near the equinoxes and solstices, your internal rhythm aligns with the natural rhythm... you gain the power to reset habits that might have been okay in months prior but need a shift.
And you gain clarity on how to focus your life force so what you spend your time, energy & money creates what you desire.
Power pauses are leadership best practice, a wise way to run your business, organization or team, and I believe a must if you want to stay sustained and sane in a world in which we feel so much pressure to do so much. And then don’t have what we need to sustain ourselves.
Every year I hold power pauses at this 4 key shifting points, the equinoxes and the solstices, March, June, Sept and Dec - within my Feminine Wisdom Way training, some virtually, some weekend retreats and some for companies and organizations.
I do this because this yearly practice of pausing 4x a year I believe is something most of us where not taught how to do, but when we do it, everything in our life works in better harmony. It’s how I run my life, business, partnership, relationships, and grow what is important to me.
Each power pause has a different focus and flavor depending on the time of the year.
In Feminine Power Time, I can’t share with you entire power pause process for March Equinox but I can give you a 40 minute power pause with 4 simple but mighty inquiries - like a mini Harmony Adjustment for your life
Look at your sacred work and career - what is in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention?
Look at your relationships - what is in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention ?
Look at your health, wealth, home - what in harmony? What is out of harmony? What is calling for your attention now?
What if you chose to create from a place of joy? What would JOY feel like in you or for you?
Bonus. What is ONE habit or pattern in your morning flow that isn't in harmony to keep doing into this next season? RELEASE this. Then what is ONE habit or pattern you can EMBRACE and place into your morning flow this next cycle?
We don’t give up everything or go militant. We choose a few things to elevate and release, and also receive pleasure too.
Tune in.
Listen to the power pause. Journal on the questions.
Invite a friend to do the Power Pause too and ask each other the questions. And support each other to make soul-aligned, supportive, sustainable choices.
With Great Heart
Christine

If you and I change how we think about our relationship with the planet, we will find a lot of power and wisdom to make positive change in simple but profound ways. In the last of our three part series on redefining our relationships, we dive into our relationship with the planet... which can sound kind of vast, and esoteric, but I can promise is you is indeed profound.
It really is often the subtle places - if you know where to look and what inquiries to make bring you the most powerful shifts. Both in your larger perspective that guides your bigger life choices and in the practical everyday and how you feel within your life during this intense time on the planet.
Join me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor, author and teacher, for this episode of Feminine Power Time: Making the Planet Personal.
What is Your Relationship to the Planet? Just that question alone is a mind shifter and consciousness elevator ... my relationship with the planet... hmmm, what would become possible if you were intentional about your relationship??
Tune in to find out as we dive into a series of wisdom bytes meant to give you something to chew on and contemplate and a handful of wisdom inquiries to support you to make wiser, different choices that expand possibility.
As we always do at Feminine Power Time - I will marry the timeless ancient wisdom with the modern day ...
What if...
Consider the choices you make in big and small ways:
And then lastly, I'll share with you a dis-ease that is affecting all of us, that is one of the root causes for the disease we see on the planet. I call it the IHF, the ignorant human factor. Learn how you can cure it within yourself and also use it to find compassion for others. And ultimately use it to fuel and focus what your part is to do a human's whose current home is earth.
See you for the conversation!

P.S. As we move into March Equinox, which is a time for shifting our patterns, so we create a rhythm that is in alignment I am going to be shifting the posting day of new episodes to SUNDAYs.
I've been feeling into a new rhythm and this is what feels right for both of us. That way I can tape it on Fridays without feeling like I have to rush to get it out to you. And you can expect it on Sunday morning so that you can have it to set up your week. You will get it right to your feed. And if Sunday doesn't work, you can listen to it anytime that week.
I'll talk more about this next week as an example of practically using the feminine wisdom way of working.
But for now, you can rely on the Sunday rhythm until June Solstice when I will check in again to see how it's working.
Our relationships with other people are some of our greatest joys and challenges ... they stretch us in so many different ways... they are teachers, catalysts, and initiators. And by nature, they change over time. When we are in relationship to our relationships, we gain the power to make shifts in them before they become sources of drama, distress, and dis-ease.
But let's be honest, most of us spent more time in our education learning math and memorizing facts we will never us, and not enough time on what it looks like to be a human who knows how to maintain, nurture and grow healthy relationships. Let alone how to have the kinds of courageous and compassionate connections and conversations that are needed to navigate the emotional terrain of our relationships with each other.
While I could do a whole separate podcast on relationships, and maybe I will someday, I decided to focus this episode of Feminine Power Time #149 of "How to Shift Your Relationships so They Work For You." And I invited the man who taught me about 85% of what I know about relationship and who often has saved me from relationship landmines. This is #2 of 3 in our series of Redefining Our Relations.
Join me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and my partner in life, love and business Noah Martin. Together, we dive into:
And
We’ll share some practical tools you can use in real time such as:
And then send you into the world to try this and see what happens - brave, courageous soul!
Relationships are one of the ways we can create a better world for ourselves and the planet. It’s not for the faint at heart … but it’s where the gold is.
See you there.

Driving, striving, grinding is not the only way to succeed, achieve and live. Pushing to deadlines - ours and others - that make us sick and stressed out is not the only way to be productive and get stuff done. It’s just how we’ve be trained to work, nose to the grindstone, climbing mountains, giving it our all until there’s nothing left.
But what if there was a different way? A wise way? One that created realties in which what really mattered got done … where we had space to breathe and savor our efforts and every day lives … where people were treated as human beings not machines ... and we motivated ourselves by energized inspiration instead of toxic pressure?
This reality is not a fairy tale. It is a possibility. It is a perspective shift on productivity that empowers you to redefine success.
And it is a practice - one that if you are brave enough to implement it in your work, career, projects, relationships and expectations will lead you to a lot more freedom, fulfillment and impact, because you are focused on the right things in the right timing … aka you are working in the flow vs. pushing forward ignoring the signs.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time with feminine leadership advisor Christine Arylo, #147 Pace Don’t Push: A Wiser Way to Achieve & Succeed, take an exhale and prepare to release the unnecessary pressure you’ve been feeling from others, or putting on yourself.
And then go into your life and start putting PACE DON'T PUSH into practice in your every day choices. Expect resistance. Expect fear. Move forward anyway, in the flow, vs forcing your way through.
Here’s some of what we’ll dive in
And at the end of the podcast I will lead you through a visualization to:
I am so looking forward to having this conversation with you.
See you there.
With great heart,
Christine
p.s. Would LOVE if you are inspired to RATE, REVIEW and SHARE this episode and Feminine Power Time.
Do it on your app or go to Feminine Power Time on itunes. This is the feminine way - we share and together we rise.
p.p.s. Stay tuned for announcement for the Spring Overwhelmed and Over It experience.
It may not sound sexy - the Four Parts of Self - but that doesn't mean it's not super powered. In traditional schooling and training, we learn to over focus on the mind. In our society, we talk about mental wellness and physical wellness, but what about emotional and soul wellness? We read and hear about body, mind and spirit ... but what about the heart? Did you ever wonder why the heart gets left out?
The models we use for understanding our selves, which drive how connected we feel and which ultimately create the perspectives and reality we live are lacking the full circle of what makes us whole humans - body, mind, heart and soul.
The foundation of leadership and creating the world we wish to see starts with the relationship we have with our selves.
So today in #1 of 3 of a Feminine Power Series: Redefining Our Relationships: The Four Parts of Self, Knowing How Your Whole Self Works, we dive into re-defining our understanding the Self...through these four parts and the relationship they have with each other:
Know your mind.
Know your heart.
Know your soul.
Know your body.
When you really know how these four parts work individually and together, within you, you gain so much more awareness - of yourself and everything around you - which leads to so much more compassion, empowerment and ALIGNMENT.
I poured some coffee and lit a candle, so we can have a deeper conversation, and exploration on each of these 4 realms.
For each, I'll share with you a simple wisdom-led model that will help you get curious about how you operate, and give you more wisdom and insight to creating a whole life, that really does align and support all parts of you. From there, your capacity to influence what matters to you most expands, and the world on the outside shifts. That is feminine power, from the inside out.
See you there!

1. The Elevate Feminine Leadership Councils - applications being accepted Jan 22 through March 4th. www.elevateleadershipcouncil.com
There are many things you could do this year, many things you think you should do, or heck maybe this year you have no idea what to do!? Wisdom teaches us to use the power of inquiry to consider the path before moving into action.
Not so we can have it all figured out like an agenda or project plan. But so we can be clear on our intentions, be connected to what's really in right timing, and to see what we can't see with our eyes but can sense with our deeper intuitive knowing ... if we slow down to listen.
Every year I do a episode that takes us through 6 super powered inquires that I'm feeling would serve us to consider - so we can stay focused on what truly matters, create the realities for ourselves and the world that align with our deeper truth and desires, and realize sustainable success.
Six is the number that creates harmony.
Every year the inquires are different.
Because every year, we need differently inquiries to lead us to the possibilities we haven't even considered with our limited - often fear reactive - minds.
And this year, as I went to begin with inquiry #1, a bonus inquiry jumped in! A seventh inquiry. 7 is the number associated with going deeper than we've gone before so we can emerge in a more radiant, whole form. Perfect.
Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and women’s leadership and empowerment teacher, for episode 146: Stay Focused on What Matters This Year: 6 Super Powered Inquiries to Illuminate Your Path.
See you there!

Every year in January I wait to do this special Feminine Power Time session until the timing feels just right. This year, it was exactly on the crescent moon, a moon about accessing deeper our deeper intuitive knowing from a place of stillness. It's also the "wolf moon" - the wolf being a symbol of free untamed feminine power, the teacher who guides through action, and the need for our packs and time to play.
I’ve been thinking of you all for two weeks and what would emerge to be shared on the yearly “Feminine Wisdom for The Year Ahead” episode. This year I added... with Grace & Gumption (because we will need both!)
After weeks of being in my own reflection and visioning process, watching what’s happening in the world, deepening in my own practice and listening for guidance from Wisdom with a capital W, once again, a series of ‘wisdom bytes’ flowed out.
Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead, - 2021, a yearly occurrence here at Feminine Power Time. It’s not about fortune telling, it’s about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up.
Feminine wisdom teaches us to prepare for the intensity, uncertainty, transformation and change that is just part of how the world is operating right now.
Not to brace yourself for it, but to embrace it, pace yourself through it and cultivate the vitality, resilience and wisdom you’ll need to stay elevated above the fray and the chaos.
Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and women’s leadership and empowerment teacher, as we dive in.
See you there!

There are big misunderstandings in our culture about visioning, goal setting & achieving that stem from a "go, go , go, work hard, stay busy" mindset that many of us have been trained to operate from.... which honestly set us up for more pressure, overwhelm and self-criticism vs. true, sustainable success.
Even in teachings you hear about manifestation, the law of attraction and vision board - there's significant distortions that can lead you to creating realities, careers, businesses, lifestyles that are unsustainable... keeping you working hard & so busy, but not feeling sustained or successful.
There is a different way to dream + succeed. That's what we'll explore & share together in the next three episodes, focused on supporting you to see the unsupportive ways you've been taught to approach goal setting and the start of the year... and reveal some other ways to think about and approach this year, so you really do FEEL successful and sustained at the end of the year.
In this first of the three part Feminine Power Time series - #144: A Different Way to Start Your Year & Set Your Goals we'll dive into:
I love sharing this deep and practical wisdom every year at this time as a different way to vision, succeed and reach out goals.
Tune in.
See you there, and for more check out below.

p.s. I will also share about where I've been the last two weeks - exhale. Which is part of how I stay sustained, out of overwhelm and get what matters done.

Would you like to start the new year feeling clear - mentally & emotionally? Like your physical space to feel clear and coherent? Like to be free of some of the relationship drama or distress in your personal or professional relationships?
And how would it feel to have more space in the last few weeks of this year and the first few weeks of next year?
Of course our answers to this are YES! Starting the new year clear is not just a nice to have - it's what any wise person would do. But how do you 'do' that?
You put into place simple but mighty practices that empower to you make choices that lead to you working and living and feeling in the f.l.o.w. (Focusing Lifeforce On What matters. The practice we'll dive into today is called a Power Pause and uses the wisdom tool of 'intuitive thinking inquiries' that reveal insights you miss if you only operate from your mental mind.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time: a Power Pause: 3 Inquiries to Help You Complete the Year Feeling Clear, I will share the FLOW practice I use myself every year at this time, and we do as part of living and working the feminine wisdom way.
It includes 3 questions that will help you

WISDOM INQUIRIES
Journal on these 3 inquiries and then take focused action that creates more FLOW for you. Create a time span between now and the end of 2020 to create healthy pressure. Over the next three weeks...
1. What would I love to complete, take care of or get done?(projects, "twiggly danglers" in your health, wealth, home or relationships, aka things calling for attention to bring into coherency).
2. What would I love to let go? (Emotional or physical twiggly dangelers you choose to leave behind in 2020)
3. What would feel good and aligned to re-flow (move this into next year)?
Wisdom teaches us that how you end a year influences how you start the next. Which is why every year at this time, I pause to tap into feminine wisdom to ask what do we need to see, what do we need to hear, and what do we need to consider as we walk through these weeks ahead. So that you and I can complete this year in a way that enables and empowers us to be as replenished, radiant, rested, centered and clear as possible.
Not to hit the ground running in Jan, but to be wise and centered enough to allow ourselves the space we will still need and desire.
Even if you feel like you have had plenty of 'space' this year, there is wisdom to share.
Join me for this episode of Feminine Power Time: Feminine Wisdom for Completing an Intense and Wild Year where I invited the wisdom for what we needed to hear to flow through.
In addition to the wisdom that flowed, I'll share:
I look forward to the conversation.
And a few surprises that showed up for me, in my own process, that I'll share.

WISDOM INQUIRIES
STAY HARMONIZED - Holiday Harmonizing Practice
It is human nature to have grief - when we lose things, things change, or we look around at the state of our lives and world and don't know what to do.
It's also natural to feel grumpy and frustrated about things not working out the way we want, to have anger. What's not natural - or healthy, healing or empowering - is how we have been taught as human to be with and release the grief or grumpiness.
I believe we NEED to re-learn how to be with these very natural feelings, in our personal lives and relationships and in our collective society, it's part of the key to our own personal wholeness and wellbeing AND to us healing the collective societal separations.
But how do you do that? Well, join me, Christine Arylo, for this Feminine Power Time: Grief, Grumpy and Gratitude: How to be with all 3 to tap into deeper wisdom and personal freedom. Where I will walk us through a process that helps you tap into each of these 3 feelings that your human heart and human body is no doubt feeling.
Wisdom: Only once we can acknowledge what is or what has been, can we heal and release the pain, so we can elevate into new ways of being, in which we make our choices and create our cultures from wholeness.
I taped this originally on the day after American Thanksgiving intentionally. I will share about:
I will also walk you through this 4 step process - the 4Gs for releasing grief and grumpiness, so you can tap into authentic gratitude and grounded wisdom.
The result: You are lighter because you are not carrying all the grief and anger within you. Your heart opens and heals. And you gain more personal freedom, which empowers you to be a brighter light and a more harmonic instrument for others.
So much to share!
I will see you there,

(get the audio meditation + print out the steps. do this at home or outside without other people around -- tell them to go for a walk - or make sure you have a big pillow for releasing into :)) )
Welcome to our first Wise Woman Tea episode, where I invite you into a conversation with one of my dear wise woman soul sisters - women who have attained a level of adeptness in a specific area that I believe can support each of us to tap into our own intuitive knowing, co-creative power, and higher intelligence. Often these areas are poo-poo'd or woo' woo'd away - discounting their significance to the 'real world' or to our practical needs or to what is relevant to topics like business, leadership and activism.
When the truth is, these wise woman skills, arts, knowings and practices empower us to see and find what's real beyond the screen the mainstream overculture would like us to tune into.
In my experience, the distrust or skepticism we have, or the lack of focus we put in these areas, is part of where we leak and diminish our power.
When we embrace these wisdom teachings, skills, practices and arts and explore them with curiosity, we often are invited into a wealth of wisdom and new possibility we were previously blind to.
For this Feminine Power Time: Perspective for Thriving in Intense Times, I invited Astrologer Leslie McGuirk who is also a writer and creativity expert who is known for "pioneering an intersection between medicine and astrology, revealing the fastest pathway for mental and spiritual growth" to join us.
Leslie, is also really a dear friend, a woman I trust, who has helped me and the women leaders I've sent to her, to gain a better understanding of ourselves and how we are designed - to find more courage, compassion and confidence.
We'll dive into three areas with the intention of giving us all PERSPECTIVE SHIFT for meeting these intense times as we step into this new year.
1. What is astrology, really? What isn't it? How come it gets woo woo'd and poo poo'd? How can we use it powerfully?
2. Perspective on what we are going through collectively in 2020 - what is happening? why is it happening? how can we be with it?
3. Perspective on how to walk into the months ahead, in a way that feels both empowering and present to what is, and open to what can be.
See you there!
Pour some tea :)

The choices we make in our every day for how we direct and give our energy, our resources, our time and money all add up to having a significant impact on you ... but most of us don't really see how these simple decisions are the drivers underneath us feeling stretched too thin, or not being focused on what matters, or just getting swirled up in the world. Which is why we are doing this podcast series!
So your can be more aware of what's going on within you and with your choices ... so you can be empowered to make choices that are creating the reality you desire for yourself, those you love and lead and this world.
Join me for #3 of 3 in our series called Embracing Our Power. This episode of Feminine Power Time focused on "Making Choices that are Right for you Now".

Within you is the courage and the clarity to make choices that are right for you - that cut through the chaos - that come from the deep feminine wisdom within you willing to shake up the status quo to stay true to yourself ... choices that may seem crazy to others but that will keep YOU sustained, on your path, supported with what you need.
I call this the Feminine Super Power of Crazy Wisdom. And every year at this time, I bring it back up for us to work with. Because as it turns out Crazy Wisdom is Crazy Powerful. It gives you the courage and clarity to make different choices, that may defy logic. It's not reckless, it is rooted in the deep intuitive place within you that knows what is right, real and aligned for you.
And now more than ever we need this super power.
I'll share the full definition of Crazy Wisdom in this episode of Feminine Power Time #2 of 3 in our Embracing Our Power series..**.
And I'll share more about how your intellect and intuition work together to access your deeper wisdom... how to know and feel how this deeper wisdom feels and works for you...
And we'll use this super power to tune you into what your deeper, soul-led, Crazy Wisdom is whispering to you... so you can hear this deeper guidance through the swirl out there.
I'll end with a series of 6 inquiries I use myself, and with the women in the Feminine Wisdom Way and the retreats I do at this time. Chew on them. Consider them. Go beyond what you've know to reveal the possibility and truth of you and the path ahead.
Also - I do a reading from Overwhelmed and Over It (starting on page 35). If you didn't get your copy yet - go to www.overwhelmedandoverit.com

We have become so resilient that we have become too tolerant. We have said yes to keep doing more with less. Piling more on to already too full plates. Assimilating into ways of working and managing our lives that frankly haven't been working for a long time.
Now is the time, to give voice to what is no longer sustainable for you... in your work, in your relationships, in your life design, in your health and wealth.
And then look around, and realize this : It's not your fault. You are not alone. And together, we do have the power to change this. There are MANY many women and beings who feel the same way - overwhelmed, overworked and over it. Tired of over stretching themselves to make it work, make ends meet, get things done.
We've been talking about this for years at Feminine Power Time. And we are at the breakthrough or breakdown point ... which will you choose?
I invite you in to this three part series of Feminine Power Time : Embracing Our Power... where we will tap into the wisdom in the new Overwhelmed and Over It Book to explore and activate the ways we collectively and you individually can embrace and embody our power to STOP what's not working, SUSTAIN ourselves and those we love and lead, and RE-IMAGINE and RE-DESIGN the new.
The first episode in our series invites you to activate your power of taking a stand to say NO MORE... i have used this many times to make a change, call in the Universe's support and start making small but significant shifts that lead to the bigger shifts that have set me free.
Tune in. See show notes below for some of the inquiries and steps I shared. And the page numbers I referred to from Overwhelmed and Over It - and get your copy of the new book! www.overwhelmedandoverit.com
See you there.
Together, we will walk through this, re-imagine and re-design how we and the world work, and rise.

Steps to embracing your power to catalyze shift to happen
Draw the NO MORE Line as your wise self - speak the NO MORE out loud to yourself and the Universe

Voice your NO MORE stand to another person, releasing any shame or guilt ... freedom!
hello dear ones! exhale. really. we can't hold our breath waiting for things to get better. we can't just keep pushing through at this pace of intensity. and we frankly don't have to. there is a way to meet the intensity, be with all the demands coming at you, and with the things that matter to you... but it requires that you need to BREATHE. daily. weekly. monthly and yearly.
In and tune into this Feminine Power Time with me Christine Arylo - we will dive into 4 of the simple but significant practices I do in my daily rhythm, my weekly flow and my yearly flow to release pressure and create space so i can breathe - and get what matters done - even in intense times.
I know they work because I've been using them diligently to get this new book into the world.

Did you ever consider there are ways that you are putting pressure on yourself which are stressing you out that you actually have the power to change? And as a result free yourself from some of the stress, anxiety, frustration, uncertainty, overworking, etc. that you might be feeling?
There's plenty of stressors out there in the world that you can't change. And there are many ways you can create some space and ease for yourself, if you can reveal the 'self induced' pressure that most of us are blind to.
Which is why for our #3 of 3 Feminine Power Time episode in the Lighten Your Load series: "Release Yourself from the Unrealistic Expectations Stressing You Out" we will dive into 3 areas where we most often create toxic, unnecessary pressure which we have the power to release.
The world has changed. Our worlds have changed. Which we need to change our expectations for how we work, how much we can get done, and what we need to be supported and sustained.
Instead of just doing the same or more with less, instead of embracing the unrealistic time frames for achieving things or growing, instead of expecting people to be different than they are ... embrace your power to stay centered and sustained by releasing unnecessary expectations. Then exhale :)
As you tune in, with me, Christine Arylo, consider:
Where am I holding myself to unrealistic expectations about how much I should be able to do, or how much I can do, in a day/week/month/rest of this year?
How am I holding myself to unrealistic expectations for how fast I should be able to achieve a goal or make something happen?
How am I holding others to unrealistic expectations to be or act or show up a certain way, that if I was being honest about who they really are, would free ME of the pain/struggle/frustration I feel?

It's time to activate and utilize one of the most powerful tools we have to stay centered, sustained and focused on what matters - the Power Pause. This one, gets us focused the last 3 months / 4 moon cycles of the year.
There are many things you could do these last 3 months of the year, but what is really most important to you? What will bring you the best returns ? And what shifts in your habits, patterns, and structures are needed to support you in this last cycle?
Wise women know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support them to grow their work, wealth and relationships, to support their health, and to keep them focused on what matters.
The September Equinox offers you insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported.
In this Feminine Power Time : POWER PAUSE: Reflect, Rebalance and Reset Your Focus at Equinox ... and exhale! 3 Inquiries to Get Focused on What Matters Most the Last Part of this Year & Feel Good About What You've Already Done...
Women's leadership and empowerment advisor and teacher, Christine Arylo, marries her MBA business background with 15+ years of wisdom and spiritual study in practical ways that can support you to elevate out of overhwelm, stay focused on what matters, shift sabotaging habits and take care of small things that make a big difference.
Tune into this Power Pause and:
Be led through a visualization and meditation to:
Power Pauses are a form of feminine leadership which teaches us to work in harmony with the natural cycles of how the material and mystical world both work. Part of her Feminine Wisdom School and Feminine Leadership Programs Arylo teaches how to use this ancient wisdom and way of working to apply to creating a life and work that creates an impact and is sustainable.
UPCOMING EVENTS, PROGRAMS, RETREATS
Being able to stay centered within uncertainty in normal times is challenging, but pile on all of the intensity happening right now that is igniting fear and chaos within and around us, and even the most seasoned yogini would fret, freeze, flail or fragment.
Turn off the chatter outside and inside, and come to this session of Feminine Power Time, to exhale, BREATHE, and tune into a deeper wisdom, thought shifting perspectives and practical practices to put into place to meet the uncertainty and step powerfully into the unknown.
In part 2 of our Lighten Your Load Series "Handling the Uncertainty and the Unknown" we will dive into:
And More.
Tune in. It is very intense right now. And this intensity as been building for years, maybe thousands. We'll talk about time and where we are as a culture as we start this session.
I'm here.
We are in the midst of a massive transformation. How we walk through this is what matters. Sacred transformation - we are devoted to the change, awake and aware at a collective and individual level, not spiritually bypassing or staying stuck in the mass consciouness of the material world.
There is wisdom. There are tools. Together, we can and will heal, stabilize and lead the way to the new.
See you there.
Much love,
Christine

The amplified energy, chaos, fear and angst in what is called the "collective field" affects each one of us, and in today's intense times is short circuiting us, and stirring up anxiety, anger and ache within us that 1. Isn't serving us 2. Doesn't help anyone 3. Will make us mentally foggy and physically and emotionally unwell and 4. Keeps us in reactivity mode vs. in response mode, where our power is.
We just don't SEE the negative affects of the collective field until it's gotten to be TOO MUCH, and we are in overwhelm or worse, reacting from anger, anxiety and grief.
So, what do we do?
We get wise. We get aware - of both the field (what it is) and our own internal triggers and warning signals of when we are being affected.
We put practices into place proactively to strenghten our magnetic field. To release the anger, anxiety and grief. To reset our systems.
And we embrace that while we do need to be AWARE of what is happening, ACKNOWLEDGE what is not okay with us, we cannot take it all on.
I am creating this three part series of Feminine Power Time for you so you can "Lighten Your Load"... be with what is in a conscious connected way without getting flooded, sick, triggered, overwhelmed or overwraught.
We really do need deeper and elevated perspectives, and super powered practices to move through this time. That's what we do here!
Join for this episode #133 where we focus on dealing with the anger, anxiety and ache caused by the UNIVERSAL COLLECTIVE FIELD ... all the things in the culture, society, natural disasters, pandemics, environment, media, politics that are affecting us in BIG WAYS energetically, emotionally and physically and psychically, and mentally.
Then next week we will dive into dealing with the anger, anxiety and ache that comes from so much UNCERTAINTY and UNKNOWN. and the next week from the UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS of what we should be able to get done, do, produce, etc. during this time.
See below for a list of the Stay Harmonized practices I share in the episode. As well as happenings, trainings and more coming up.
Wherever you are, know you are held and guided.
Big heart
Christine

Fierce Grace. If you asked me to describe embodied Feminine Power in two words i would say "Fierce Grace." When we are truly rooted in our unique expression of fierce grace we have access to our full power, presence, purpose and wisdom.
Which is why I'm finally, after two years of dreaming about it, starting this series of Fierce Grace Talks now for us. These will take place throughout the year, inviting you into a conversation with me and a being who I have witnessed embodying fierce grace in the devotion to their sacred work and in the presence publicly and privately.
Since we just literally sent my fourth book off to the printer this week, I was inspired for us to dive into how we can share our words and writing with the world.
Whether you are a writer, or want to be, or you want to write a book, or a blog, or just show up more powerfully in your authentic presence in your communications -- or just start writing for JOIY because you have something to say or you just want to! COME to this conversation.
I invited Kristine Carlson, NY Times Best Selling Author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff for Women, founder of the Book Doula incubator and community, and a woman who has been like a big sister to me in my writing and book career to join us for Fierce Grace Talk #1: Sharing Your Words & Writing with the World"
It seems like the perfect time to pull the veil back and have a heart to heart about what writing a book is like ... how it catalyzes your personal growth ... and what support and structure is really needed. And HOW to just get started.
And to also explore at this time when so many voices are speaking out there -- how do YOU want to show up, speak up and share ? In a way that matters to you? Feels good to you? And is adding to the world you desire to create for yourself and others? This is the power of Fierce Grace.
Take us with you for a walk.. pour some tea and settle in... take us out in the sun to do some earthing, heck pour a bath or snuggle up in bed ... it's a heart to heart ... supporting us each to share our words and writing in the world in ways that light YOU up and light up those you touch.
Wherever this finds you... the words you share and the presence you share them through - in your voice, your energy, your purpose - matters. Nothing is too small, we start where we are.
You matter. Believe it.

If you were to ask me what is one of things that has been the most supportive to helping me bring my sacred work into form, grow in my career and stay true to my path, make bold changes in my life, move past my own doubt and fear to find clarity and courage I would tell you - Sisterhood. Not networking. Not professional trainings where everyone shows up and pretends they have it all together. Not the number of followers on my social media. Sisterhood that is rooted in straight up love.
Now before you go getting images of some sappy hallmark card or some kumbaya circle of women holding hands, let me invite you into a conversation that I hope will open your eyes and heart to what sisterhood is and how it relates to the real, whole life success we desire.
Because if you and I are going to make it through this transformational time, we need to elevate our understanding and our tactics for how we go about creating the supportive sisterhoods I believe we need to show up for ourselves and what matters to us... to bring our purpose and potential into form... and to stay, harmonized, healthy and happy along the way!
If you and I want to create the world we desire - for ourselves and what matters to us, we need sisterhood. And I mean need.
For the last in our 3 part series on The Power of Love, I invited a woman who has dedicated her life's work to sharing and teaching people the science, art and heart of relationship in the realm of friendship - not just in the nice see you on Saturday kind of way, but in the way that stamps out loneliness, isolation, doing it all on your own, and even burnout.
Her name is Shasta Nelson, she and I have been friends for over 10 years, and through that time have grown that friendship that stemmed from our common missions and work in the world, into a true sisterhood. And we are both birthing our new books together this year - Shasta's The Business of Friendship, focused on developing more meaningful connection within the workplace and in our careers.
This is the first of a series of Catalyzing conversations I will be hosting on Feminine Power Time, where I want invite you into a conversation with me and another powerful, soul centered catalyst for change that can take us all to another level of consciousness and empowerment.
Tune in. Pour some tea. I myself had a catalyst breakthrough - more on the podcast: The Power of Sisterhood to Create the World You D:
And make sure to check out Shasta's new book: The Business of Friendship: Making the Most of Our Relationships Where We Spend the Most Time. Go here to learn more.
You know the saying that our relationships are some of our biggest teachers? Truth. And today, as we go through this major time of transformation and change, we can either embrace our relationships as ways to heal, so we can create realities based in wholeness instead of woundedness... or we can keep re-creating the same wounded patterns, acting them out over and over.
I vote for embracing our power, and taking a look at what is going on in our relationships right now. To shine the light on what is going on in your heart right now when it comes to your closest relationships - the ones you struggle with, the ones from the past that are still lingering on, the ones that bring you support and joy and want to grow and the ones that you desire to create that don't exist yet.
If we want a world, a society, systems and ways of thinking, that are rooted in respect, love, kindness, compassion we have to look within and at our own relationships too.
All lasting systemic and social change must be rooted in personal transformation and healing. Which is one of the reasons we have not broken through as a society, yet, through what is clearly so not working.
What would be possible if the relationships you had currently came from wholeness vs. your wounds?
What if your relationships didn't have to be things you worked on or worked out or figured out? What if you could learn and evolve through love, vs pain and drama?
What would be freed up for you if you could let go of any of the lingering resentment or righteousness between you and others?
What would be opened up within you if the relationships or kinds of relationships that typically are challenging and painful for you, became sources of learning through joy vs. struggle?
You would have a lot more energy, time, clarity, support, and connection.
I know this to be true because for 20 years I have embraced relationships as a teacher for me.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time, #2 of 3 in the Power of Love Series, we focus on the power of relationship. I invited one of my "teachers" to join us - the man who has taught me how to learn through love vs. pain in my primary partnership. He is my life partner Noah Martin, who is also an amazing relationship adviser and a human that just gets relationship and how to be in it powerfully.
In The Power of Sacred Relationship to Heal & Free Yourself and the World we'll dive into:
We'll dive deeper into the healing and freeing part of the triangle of transformation today because if we don't go there and get real about what it takes to truly return to hearts that are WHOLE vs full of HOLES, we will just keep recapitulating the same wounds in our lives, that then creates the society and systems we know are not working.
Lets use the power of love to do things differently!
See you there.

Choosing ME before WE**, the book (by Christine and featuring much of Noah's wisdom) www.mebeforewe.com
We talk a lot about the power of the mind, how thoughts create our realities, personally and collectively. And while that is true, here's the deeper truth: our heart is our true power center.
It's the heart and it's wholeness or it's woundedness, coupled with the cellular imprints within our bodies that inform our thoughts, which drive our actions, which create the realties all around us.
Right now at this time on the planet, our hearts and our bodies are being triggered to react from the wound and deeply embedded imprints rooted in fear, shame, blame.
Even for those who have been 'doing their inner work' for years, decades... even for people who are educated and trained in mental health, emotional wellness, and spiritual development... WE ARE ALL BEING TRIGGERED, or like i like to say, BEING INVITED TO HEAL our WOUNDED HEARTS SO WE CAN BE FREE TO LEAD AND LIVE FROM OUR WHOLE HEARTS, rooted in wholeness, wellness, aka LOVE.
Choosing to embrace and dive into your own healing is an act of sacred activism ... being the change, the healing, you desire to see in the world.
Which is why I am creating this next three-part series for us at Feminine Power Time all about tapping into and working with THE POWER OF LOVE ... not in some kind of mamby pamby, meme, fluff, greeting card kind of way, but in the straight up, deep dive, get to the root of what is real and true kind of way, so we can create lives, relationships, families, systems, economies, governments, healthcare, and more rooted in wholeness vs. recapitulating wounds.
When we return to wholeness within our own hearts, we will finally begin creating family systems, organizational systems and society systems that cultivate wholeness and wellness by design.
There is a beautiful wisdom teaching that says: Put Love at the Center of All of Your Choices.
What would be true if you did put love at the center of all of your choices? Not the self sacrificing love, where you don't get what you need. Not the romantic kind of love we see in the movie screens. I mean real LOVE. Pure love?
What would become possible of we put LOVE at the center of how we designed our systems and societies and organizations? Not in some fluffy pink cloud kind of way, but real true love, compassion, care, gratitude, courage, passion, heart wisdom, trust?
These are big questions that have the power to bring us all through this. But we have to break this down to work with it practically.
If you want to change something on the outside - in your life, in the world, in any situation - there is only one place to begin, if you want lasting transformation vs. just another lesson from the Universe you keep getting again and again.
Self-love.
Tune into this episode of Feminine Power Time, #1 of 3 in the Power of Love Series: The Power of Self Love to Heal & Free Yourself and This World.
This will not be fluff or ear candy. Or spiritual platitudes. Trust me. We will dive into, get real and open to wisdom about:
You'll
The opportunity is to use the power of self-love to heal the wound, return to wholeness, and then free, we lead & rise.
Tune into this session on the power of self love.
May it serve to support you to create the life and world you desire.
Love is that powerful.

Wisdom Inquiries from Session

2. Self Acceptance: What pressure am I putting on myself to be something I am not, to be more than I am right now, to be farther ahead, to be different than I am?
If I embraced who I am and who I am evolving into, what judgement against myself could I release? What would releasing this judgement free me to do/be/feel?
3. Self Compassion: If I was gentle, patient and understanding with myself, what words would I speak to myself right now? How would this self compassion free me ?
4. Self Trust: How am I being guided to do things differently? Where am I being guided to be right now?
There is SO much you could do the rest of the year, so much and so many you could give to, but what really matters to you??
Given the current level of intensity and uncertainty, how can you create stability and sustainability for yourself and those you love and lead financially, emotionally, mentally, physically?
How can you work with the transformational energy happening to create more of the reality you desire for yourself and this world?
These are some of what we will explore together in this power pause, so you can gain clarity and focus for the next part of this year.
One of the smartest things we can do at the mid year point is to pause, reflect, realign and redesign what we are going to focus our life force, resources and time on. This is true for how you run your work life - business, team, organization, career, classroom, etc. And how you run your personal life - wealth, health, home, relationships. For SO many reasons.
This is what I call taking a Power Pause. It's a feminine wisdom way practice and a feminine leadership sustainable success principle. It's how we make sure we create realities that are both successful in what we desire to create and cause AND that are sustainable.
It's also a best practice for getting out of overwhelm and the feelings that you are never doing enough or have enough.
I've been doing Power Pauses myself for a decade and every year at this time I teach mid year power pauses, which I call FLOW for focus your life force on what matters, in many different forms. A virtual program/retreat, in person retreats and for women's leadership groups and teams within organizations.
For you beloved Feminine Power Time listener, 4x a year I do these special Power Pause episodes that include a series of inquiries that are like a Power Pause appetizer. They give you a taste of the full process, and enough of a taste to give you some wisdom bytes about what you truly desire this coming year.
In this episode, "POWER PAUSE: It's Mid-Year, Time to Reflect & Redirect: 6 Inquiries to Get Focused On What Really Matters to You the Rest of the Year" I will share with you
In the Feminine Power Time, I'll take you through 6 inquiries focused in 3 realms of past, present and future - which I also listed below. I invite you to journal on them. Invite a friend or your partner to share about them. And then if you want to really receive the benefit of the mid year Power Pause, take the online version, you can do at your own pace.
INQUIRIES:
HEAL: What inside of you is calling for a deeper healing and wholeness, so you can be more free to create the reality and world you desire?
HEAL: What in your relationships is calling to be released or redesigned, to free up emotional and mental space and open up your capacity to receive the support, connection you desire?
SUSTAIN: What do you need in place for your physical body to be strong, sustained and healthy? What practices / rituals are in place you preserve, keep doing? What new ones do you need?
SUSTAIN. In your work, what is already in place that you can maintain and preserve, and in doing so will create more stability and sustainability for you? You can receive from the energy you've already created?
SUSTAIN: In your relationships, what and who could you give life force and energy to this next half of the year, that would support, nurture and sustain you?
CREATE: What are you being called to create - bring into form, call, cause - for yourself or the world? How and on what do you choose to use your co-creative power this second half of the year.

We often hear things like choose love over fear. Or that love is the only thing that is real. Or that we have the power within us to transform fear into love. But what does that really mean? And how does that apply to the massive transformation we are in collectively and personally right now, in a way that is practical?
Knowing how fear and love work within you, and how they can be used and show up within our collective social situations is essential at this time.
Fear can be used to manipulate, trigger, create fields of more fear in ways we don't even see... unless we know what to look for.
We can react to fear, vs. respond from love because of the primal imprints rooted in scarcity and fear that we don't even know are within us... unless we know what to look for.
Most of us didn't get a Fear and Love 101, 201, 301 class in school. And with the amount of fear that is being activated, we could all use an uplevel of our consciousness to see the fear being triggered within us, and the fear being used to control, distract, and disconnect us from truth, love and freedom.
Within each of us lies the super power we need at this time to use the transformation happening to do what is called "alchemize and transmute" lower vibrations, to elevate and create higher vibrations, that have the power to lead us to healing, freeing and wholeness.
That's what we will do in today's session #3 of 3 in the Sacred Transformation Series: Let's Talk About the Power of Fear and Love, and How to Work with Both, Wisely.
We can use this energy to heal, free, and create new realities - for ourselves, others and this world - but not if we aren't wise about the energies within us, and around us, and what we are consciously or unconsciously contributing too.
Here are some wisdom bytes to chew on and some ways to make what I shared in the podcast real, as awareness practices:
1. Where there is no fear, there is no anger, no anxiety, and no absoluteness.
3. Your body is like a broadcasting station that can emit and run frequency fear or love. Know the signs of both.Become more aware of when you respond from anger, anxiety and absolutes - that is fear.
4. Fear has many shades as does Love, but in the English language we only have one word for love. Expand your understanding of Love = compassion, tenderness, patience, understanding, affection, fierce truth from the heart, kindness, connection and more.
5. Become more aware of the interactions, situations, and 'fields' you are in, that cause you or others to react in anger, anxiety or absoluteness (it has to be this way, you have to do it this way).
6. Be conscious how you participate - don't engage in activity that adds to the frenzy, froth, fragmentation or reactivity. See it, even have compassion for it, just don't waste your chi on it.
7. To participate - ELEVATE and CREATE a deeper, expansive, love-centered conversation that seeks understanding and a higher consciousness. Or to participate ILLUMINATE the HATE, speaking from your fierce heart.
8. Take care of your heart - feed it love, so it can be stronger in it's frequency, so you like a Phoenix Rising you can transmute and alchemize denser emotions through love into a higher reality for yourself and others. I'll share some ways in the podcast.
9. Open your WISE EYES to see how people and systems may be using fear to create a swirl or field of mass consciousness that feeds on fear and keeps people stuck in their lower minds. Say NO to letting that kind of energy be okay with you, for you, or for those you love and lead.
So much to share, which is why in addition to this podcast series on Feminine Power Time, on July 5th, I am taking part in the Truth and Reconciliation Weekend, offering a Sacred Transformation: Creating a Path of Stability and Sustainability As We Shift. RSVP www.FeminineWisdomWeekend.com
Together, rooted in love, for real, in it's power, we will rise, more free as people and planet .... this is possible.
With love
Christine

The second in a 3 part series I titled SACRED TRANSFORMATION to guide us through these intense, changing, disruptive, heart-opening, consciousness awakening times ... so we can walk through this threshold of transformation in a way that leads us to a new way of living, leading, relating, succeeding that truly has the best interests of all life at the core... and so we have the energy and keep the momentum moving to stand what's no longer working, heal what needs healing, and have the energy to create the new way.
Sacred transformation (which I defined deeply in part 1) is: being devoted and dedicated to change (no turning back), secured against violation and violence, regarded in reverance and respect, rooted in the intention of creating wholeness. Sacred transformation is challenging, and it's blessed, held by grace as we move through.
In part 2 of this Feminine Power Time we dive into how we create significant and sustainable change so we don't burn out, numb out or let fear win.
A few highlights:
I will end us with a blessing, from the tree of life, the tree of wisdom, which was written by my dear soul sister Shiloh Sophia McCloud whose birthday is today.
Tune in. May this ignite your fierce heart to see and embrace the power you have AND give you permission to do what you need to stay sustained through this shift. We NEED your light and love. Don't burn out that light. It's going to be a journey over years, not months, to destruct, preserve and create.
with great heart
Christine
We are in the midst of major transformation and change that is causing chaos, disruption, fear, rage and all kinds of emotions and situations that are hard to be with and hard to know what to do with ... AND we are also experiencing a time of great awakening, voices speaking up and out, people standing together, and the possibility of maybe, finally, breaking through to a different way to be and live in this world.. change that has been a long time coming.
But...transformation can be a very dangerous journey... like a fire out of control, like a windstorm that takes a fire from a needed burn to a reckless fire that burns up everything in its path.
Which is why we need some wisdom, perspective and practices for how to go through this massive transformation in a way that doesn't burn us out, create harming destruction, or cause us to get swirled up in all the chaos and lose our way.
So... here's what we are going to do - create stability and sanity within the chaos and change for you by :
First, get some perspective on the 4 levels of transformation that are happening - social, systemic, generational and self. So we can work with them, vs. be overwhelmed by them. Including how to see how generational and systemic transformation may be happening within you.
Second, consider what it would be like to approach and embrace what we are experiencing personally and collectively as "Sacred Transformation"...
Sacred means: devoted or dedicated to, secured against violence and violation, regarded with reverence and respect.
Sacred transformation leads to wholeness.
In sacred transformation, while the journey may be intense, challenging, and will certainly break apart and through the illusions, imprints and systems that bind vs. free us ... sacred transformation is blessed.
So we move through the fire of transformation with grace.
Third, we'll invoke some super power wisdom using the teachings of the 4 elements to see how to work with rage, blame, judgement, guilt, shame, fear, over-responsibility, paralysis in a way that fosters sacred transformation...
So you can feel stable and clear minded and emotionally balanced (sane) on the inside ... and be an instrument for loving truth, right action and stay centered within.
Lastly, we'll take this directly into 2 specific structures I think we all need right now ...
Exhale.
This transformation is a long time coming.
We were born for this time.
There is wisdom and tools to support us through.
Be aware of the input you are letting in to your field.
Ground. Root. Decompress your system.
Look around for evidence of human-KIND and divine support.
Remember you have the power of sacred transformation within you.
There is a path, and we are on it. We are the ones.
This is the first in a 3 part series on Sacred Transformation in Feminine Power Time. Come back next week for the next part.

How Do We Go From Here? Permission to Replenish, Reset and Receive.
Hello dear ones... I sat down this morning to tune into what we really needed these next few weeks because whew! it has been a very intense several weeks. And I wanted to set us all up for the reset I am feeling our bodies, hearts, minds and spirits really need.
Not to disconnect. Not to go back to normal. But to just take a BREATH.
Our nervous systems have been at defcon 5. We need a downshift that gives us some space. So consider this a permission slip to reset, tend to your weary heart ... and also look ahead to how to approach these next few weeks and months.
After an intense and powerful day in sisterhood and circle with women who are choosing to show up for co creating the new world, but are also tired and need a break, I taped this for you this evening before I head into my weekly Sabbath practice. Where I just tune into being present with my surrounding as is - no media or electronics.
Tune in.
It's deep and practical.
See you there.

What's Your Life Really About? Choosing What to Center Your Life Around Next. #4 of 4 in the Harmonize to Rise Series on Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo.
Hello dear ones... I have an inquiry for you that I don't want you to answer, but I want you to consider, to chew on, to explore, to open your eyes to....
What have you been constellating your life around?
What do you desire to constellate your life around going forward?
This is what we call a wisdom inquiry that has the power to break you through to expanded levels of self awareness and possibility. It gets you tuned into what is really true and right for you now ... it taps you into your power to be a co-creator in your life design and reality ... it empowers you to see how the choices you are making are creating the reality that you've been stuck in or living ... it catalyzes you out of where you are stuck and what no longer serves so you can be free to create what it is you truly need, desire and are here to experience.
As we walk through this global catalyst.... we don't want to go back to normal or keep assimilating into ways of working, living and relating that are not working for us.
Wake up your wise woman eyes. Reopen your eyes that see wonder and possibility beyond the mind. Let your wild woman whose not bound by limitations or rules free. Feel your power. Expand your consciousness.
This week we explore the power of being conscious about what is at the center of your life - and how you can use this inquiry and the framework I share to see what's not working for you any longer and find your power to create something different.
This framework works for the self, for our family/relationships, and our society.
What you choose consciously or unconsciously as the centerpoint of your life is what drives your choices, decisions about home, money, career, relationships, everything.
When you are the leader of your life - you consciously choose to shift this over the course of your life time. And when you do, you are so much more empowered to create a reality that supports and sustains you. And that creates the reality that gives you peace, harmony inside.
It's deep and practical.
See you there.
With great heart,
Christine

What's Not Sustainable Any Longer? Finding Our Power to Create the World We Want to Live in. #3 of 4 in the Harmonize to Rise Series on Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo.
Hello dear ones... I have been deep in book edits but was SOOO looking forward to this conversation with you that I could not wait one more week to have it! So my notes this week are short.
Basically, tune in.
As we move into this next phase of our global wake up catalyst shift there's an inquiry essential for us to be in - so we don't miss the possibility and gift of this experience, so we do step into our power to do things differently and create the world we want to live in.
I'm sending you much love from the Puget Sound where the eagles and crows were swooping through the skies after I completed this session. Interesting given the crow is the symbol of the wise woman, and the eagle a symbol for the power of the current power systems (although it means much more than that!) I think they were dancing.... as we are all finding a new way....
Don't go back to normal.
Wake up your wise woman eyes. Feel your power. Expand your consciousness.
Next week, we explore more. This week i have an inquiry to bring into all parts of your life..
"What is no longer sustainable? For yourself. in relationship. In work. in wealth and health? And for the planet? for your family? for the communities you are in?
See you there.
With great heart,
Christine

Hello Dear One ... Every May I love to re-listen to and re-share this episode on MOTHER LOVE (which is so much more than we think it is.) So many of us are feeling stretched - being called to make changes, expansions, trust. In times like you need more "mother love" - it's so powerful! MOTHER LOVE does not just come from your birth mother. And since most of us aren't taught what that is or how to source it, I am replaying this Feminine Power Time. If you've never heard it, tune in. If you have, re-listen this is medicine and a message that will bring clarity, confidence and courage to you at this time....
Next week we will resume our Harmonize and Rise Series with session #3, where we dive into the ways of working and living in our world that are no longer working for you... so instead of falling back into normal, you rise in a reality that supports, and sustains you. For now, soak in the Mother Love.
Much love to you xoxo Christine
"THERE IS A GREAT MOTHER LOVE AVAILABLE THAT CAN ACT AS THE SAFE AND SOFT HARBOR YOU NEED TO STAND STRONG + FEEL SUPPORTED. IT WILL HOLD YOU, SOOTHE YOU, AND GIVE YOU UNSTOPPABLE COURAGE."
When you read the words ‘mother love’ you likely go right to thinking about the mother who gave birth to you or the mother who raised you. And while that mother definitely has a role to play in our lives, she cannot be our only source of “mother love.”
Mother love is... a specific kind of love that every human being needs – we don’t outgrow the need for it, although we sadly forget how much we do need it.
Mother love is… the deep, all-embracing, all-accepting, nourishing, nurturing, warm, safe, supportive love that soothes the places inside our hearts that feel scared and lonely.
Mother love is… the strong love that we can fall into when we are stressed, stretched, uncertain, and feeling like we just can’t handle what’s happening in our life.
Sourcing Mother Love is not something most of us were taught how to do. In this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo: Mother Love: The Feminine Love That Will Hold You Through Transition:
To dive deeper into the feminine connection with Christine Arylo, attend one of her virtual or in person Feminine Wisdom Sessions or Retreats - go here for more details www.ChristineArylo.com

Have you been feeling any of the emotional waves? In yourself, where emotions like anxiety flutter or flow through your heart? Or emotions like frustration and anger come welling and firing up and out?
How about in others? Noticed or picked up other people's fear, frustration or feelings and not known what to do with it? Or found yourself feeling deep grief where you just have to sit down and cry or go to sleep - that's you falling into the waves of the collective emotions.
In the reality that we are moving through you should expect your emotions to rise up ... you just don't want to let them run you. You should expect other people's energy to try to stir up and muck up your own .... but you don't want to bite at the invitation, or get your emotional field meshed up with theirs.
And you should expect you are going to have days, hours where it's all just too much, and you need to release the energy of the collective your feeling.
But how to you BE with your emotions, without being run by them?
How do you be present with others without taking on their stuff?
How do you stay informed without being infected, by the ENERGY of fear that is the bigger danger that can take hold?
How can you work with this energy to support your personal transformation and elevation?
That's what we will dive into in this episode of Feminine Power Time, 122: Riding the Emotional Waves: How to Work with Your Feeling to Reveal Wisdom, Power and Healing, #2 of 4 in our Harmonize to Rise Series.
This global catalyst that is affecting every human on the planet isn't something to get over, or wait out ... it is a powerful force you and I can work with, if you wake up to where your power is, where your fear is (YOUR HEART)... and then take the steps to be with what's within you... so you can heal it, release what you no longer need (harmonize) ... and then rise up and through the possibility at catalyst of this magnitude offers us.
During intense times in which are emotions can get stirred up like big wave, you want to have the self awareness and skills to stay on your surfboard, know when to stand and when to just lay down, and what to do when you fall off your center and into the emotional swirl so you can get back on.
Some of what we'll dive into today:
And then embrace your power GO DEEPER and find the wisdom your heart and body have for you.
Then instead of setting up camp in a new normal that is only 5% better or running back to all the ways your life wasn't working in harmony before... you will have insight and super power to expand beyond what your mind can see, to step into the reality your heart and soul knows is possible.
See you there!
Note the fierce feminine came flowing through at the end ... so make sure to listen all the way through.
With great heart,
Christine

Harmonize. To get yourself aligned on the inside so that the choices you make and the way you show up in your day to day come from the deeper truth and knowing within you. Harmonize. To choose to connect with your higher Self - your Wise Woman/Man/Being" - who knows how to walk through any threshold (change) because it is deeply attuned to Grace, the Divine, Expanded Possibility.
I've been thinking of you all! Waiting for the words to come about what is needed to support us all to stay awake, aware, wise and clear.
As we walk through what is called a "threshold crossing", a catalyst, a challenge beckoning us to change, as individuals and a society, culture and world, with lots of uncertainty ... what is needed is for each of us to stay awake, be wise, stay harmonized ... so together we can rise.
This Feminine Power Time, 121: Harmonize to Rise: Wake Up to Your Wise Self and Let Her Lead, is #1 of 4 in the series on Crossing Over to a New World, not a New Normal.
What we are experiencing in the world right now is like one of those major catalysts that happen in a life that gives you both the challenge and the grace to make significant shifts, quantum leaps ...
The kind that can propel us into a world personally and collectively that can create more harmony, connection and wholeness vs. so much of what we've been tolerating or assimilating into for a long time.
It is a challenging intense time... we need to be aware and with it, and we also don't want to miss the expansion and possibility here for us by running to find a new normal.
Today, we start by diving into our own inner worlds - connecting to that deep wisdom within you ... to support you to get harmonized on the inside, so as you walk through this catalyst you can work with the energy and reality to expand and rise into what your heart and soul is oh so ready for.
Tune in .... let's talk about how to stay present to what is... how to RESET your rhythm and patterns to support and sustain you through this threshold... how to get clear and real about what is calling for you to RELEASE so you can RISE... and tap deep into your wisdom self to reveal what you need to REMEMBER to help you walk through this threshold crossing to trust the process, walk step by step and rise into what is next.
Wherever this finds you today, I am sending you much LOVE!
Stay awake. Be wise. Stay harmonized. Together we rise.
Christine

Every year at the start of the year and as the quarter turns I do a special Feminine Power Time focused on spiritual insight and feminine wisdom for the intensity we are facing personally and globally at the time. This year, the intensity I think we can agree just wratched up about 25 or 2500 degrees.
We are in midst of a global, social, and personal catalyst.
Our minds want to make sense, make sure we are safe, know what will happen, and search for information. Our minds are not the tool we need at this time. Because this isn't about figuring stuff out - it's about being with what is... pulling our heads above the chaos to see a greater truth and pattern ... while also creating stability for our human hearts.
This isn't the time to react and pivot ... it's the time to plant and ground and get clear about what you need to stabilize yourself and what and who you care for. To set the structures so you can stay harmonized or get re-harmonized when you get tweaked out, twisted up, or turned around (which you will).
What's needed now is the deeper spiritual wisdom and mystical wisdom that we can use practically at this time to support us to strengthen our capacity to meet the intensity... and instead of holding on to the old or giving away our power to the systems or running back to try and establish normal we RISE UP and connect to a deeper purer wisdom that seeks to create new realities.
But first we stabilize and harmonize ourselves so we can rise. And that is not just about our mind and immune systems. Hearts, nervous systems and magnetic fields too.
I've been waiting to do this Feminine Power Time until I was clear on what spiritual wisdom and insight wanted to come through... I've been listening to what is real, what it needed and what our human hearts need.
I sat Saturday morning with coffee in my A CUP OF LOVE mug, beeswax candle lit, and this is what came streaming through.
May this serve to support you as we walk through this threshold.
See you there.
Much love,
Christine

I will tell you more about why in the podcast.
A Power Pause in normal times is a leadership best practice - for leading your life, your organization, your business, your team, your health and wealth, everything. It's time to pause and
In Intense times, I don't know how to stay focused, centered and sustained without them. Good thing we don't have to.
Join me for this episode of Feminine Power Time: POWER PAUSE: Re-set,& Refocus - #3 of 3 of practices for staying centered in chaotic times.
I'll share more about this practice and how to use it to support yourself.
Also we'll talk about the bigger Power Pause that's happening globally and a perspective on how to be with what is happening, in a way you are prepared and wise vs. panicked.
And how to break down and work with 'time spans' to help you focus in more manageable spans so you can focus on what matters.
I'll lead you through a set of Power Pause inquiries we use specifically during the Equinoxes that will help you re-set and re-focus between now and May 1st or June 21st - Solstice - depending on what you choose.
I included the inquiries below.
Wherever this finds you today love, know that these structures and practices are what hold, center and guide you through any storm. Slow down. Press pause. Let's tune into your deeper knowing and the Universe's guidance.
with heart

Wisdom Inquiries
Choose your time span - between now and May 1st (about 7 weeks, 40 days, or the super power day of Beltane), or June 21st Solstice (half way point of the year). Set the space and get clear these, and then focus here:
What do I need to be sustained - physically, emotionally, relationally?
What is imbalanced or out of harmony in my life? Or desiring more attention now? Physical foundation of home, health, wealth, practice? Relationships professional or personal? In career or work?
To reset and re-harmonize these imbalances or desires, what needs to be released? or re-designed?
Where is my life force being called to focus and flow between now and the time span I chose ? In my physical foundation of home/health/wealth/practice? In my relationships? In my work/career?
Action:
Focus giving your life force where the flow guides you (give here)
Choose 3 imbalances and re-harmonize them between now and the end of this time span (re-set here)
Claim what you need to be sustained and take the action needed to receive it (recieve here)
There is no question that there is a lot of fear flying around out there... that is causing even the most wise and centered of us to question what is real? What should I do? What the heck is going on in the world? How do I stay safe and well? But also not fall victim to the fear machine that stirs up panic?
In this episode of Feminine Power Time we will dive into the question - What do you do with the fear? How do you clear the fear so you can see what is real? What information do you trust? What are the wise actions to respond to whatever is happening in the world. Today it's a virus. A few months ago it was any number of natural disasters. And there will be more. These are the times we are living in.
And ... while fear will rise up. We do not have to react from fear. We do not have to make our decisions around fear.
We do need to be awake, aware, wise and safe ... able to discern.
This Feminine Power Time is #2 of 3 in our Grace Under Pressure series: Superpowers for staying centered, calm and clear in a chaotic world.
Join me as we dive into what I call Fear-shifting... including
Fear-shifting is a practice. There are tools. Come and learn them.
Plus I'll invite you to open up your eyes to SEE what you might not be seeing about what is happening in the world today.
Question everything is what the elders say at this time.
Let's make sure you have the right questions and practices to lead to wisdom.
See you there

p.p.s. Want more practices to keep you centered - March 29th, the Annual 40-day Burnout to Balance Practice starts www.BurnouttoBalancePractice.com
The yogic wisdom is clear -how you end your day is how you start your next day. Yet we make choices in the last few hours before we go to sleep that sabotage our ability to replenish. We can blame work, other people, money, etc.for our stress but the truth is you and I have a lot of power to reduce our stress and increase our clarity and feelings of calm by the choices we make in the last two hours of our day.
This is the practice of DOWNSHIFTING - the rhythm and routines and actions you take from the hours of 4pm to you go to sleep.
My question for you is .... what choices are you making that are draining you? what choices are sustaining you? Especially in the last two hours of your evening which is where we will focus our conversation at in this Feminine Power Time: Downshifting: Superpower Practice for Staying Centered in Chaotic Times, the first in our 3 part Grace Under Pressure Series where we dive into:
We'll get real and practical about how to use downshifting to get the replenishment you need, and replace sabotaging evening habits with new ones that support you.
I LOVE this practice and every year before the equinoxes, i up my commitment and awareness of it.
Tune in.

Take care of your heart. I just had to do this Feminine Power Time for us - I know it sounds soft, or oh yeah of course. But what I have to share is so much more than some nice self care message. So tune in.
Our hearts are our power centers.
Your heart much more than your mind drives your actions, thoughts and choices.
You mind responds to the feelings and needs in your heart, but how many of us know how to truly communicate, connect and stay true to our hearts.
Even if you do, the world is crazy, so we need access to practices and structures that keep our hearts stable and sustained, so we can stay clear, confident, calm and courageous.
In this Feminine Power Time #116: Take Care of Your Heart - Self Love Practices for Staying Centered, Calm and Connected, I'll take you on a exploration of these three realms :
Self Love
Sisterhood
Self Sustainability
Including a practice for each you can put into your life for each one.
These three things - self love, sisterhood, self sustainability are at the core of our capacity to stay clear, calm and centered within a chaotic world.
Come. Lets get that heart of yours harmonized!

April: Gather Your People - Training for People Who Desire to Create Experiences that Create Connection and Transformation
During the week of Self Love Day Feb 13th I taped the 3rd of our 3 part series on Powerful Questions to ask ourselves as we make choices for the year ahead ... so we can stay centered, calm and clear in these intense times. This final episode poses an inquiry that will take you into the heart of what YOU need to be sustained - physically, mentally, emotionally and materially ... a question that if we don't pause to consider we inevitably will end up stretching ourselves way too thin, giving too much, without receiving what we need.
The word sustained is a powerful word I invite you to take into your heart and life ... the root means 'to hold'... when you are SUSTAINED, you feel HELD... so you are so much more able to actualize your dreams, desires, projects, purpose ... when you are SUSTAINED, the strong foundation under and around and within you fuels the courage you need to stay clear and centered.
When are not SUSTAINED ... not receiving the financial flow you need... not having the home you need... not having the supportive relationships you need... when you feel you are giving so much more than you are receiving in return... your body, mind and heart get wobbly, tired, exhausted and eventually burned out or sick.
SO LETS NOT DO THIS YEAR in a way you sacrifice yourself. The invitation from my heart to yours is to take radical acts of SELF SUSTAINABILITY... as you make choices in your career, relationships, money, health, consider and get real about what you need to be sustained. I think the answers will enlighten and embrace you.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time: SUSTAINED: What do you need to be sustained this year? i, Christine Arylo will

From Burnout to Balance 40-day Practice - March 2020
It is way too easy to overgive and overcompensate in our work and relationships and then get overwhelmed and distracted, and diminish our impact, and worse, deplete ourselves. Especially in these intense and changing times.
Which is why we are doing this series in Feminine Power Time on powerful inquiries to ask yourself for 2020 beyond, so you can stay centered, calm and clear... focused on what matters.
This specific inquiry is at the root of feminine leadership - it's all about taking a stand for your self-sustainability and for giving and receiving in harmony in our work and relationships. It's also about feminine power and making a greater impact in your work and within the lives of those you love and lead.
When you know your part in your work you not only become more effective, you affect greater, lasting change.
When you know your part in your relationships, you stop over giving and feeling like you have to do it all or you are failing at doing it all. You embrace that you are one person in a constellation of people and support that collectively cares for others. WOW the spaciousness and lack of guilt that happens when you really embrace this.
This is also about purpose - when you can name your part to play in this bigger world, you too stop feeling like you are not enough or not doing enough because you see how you are making a difference in what is yours to do.
#StayFocusedOnYourPart - that's the self-sustainability stand.
As leaders, we apply this stand to three realms of our lives - our work, our relationships and our physical foundation of health/wealth/home
In this session, I'll share more about
At the end of the session, I'll walk you through a personal meditation and visualization to help you get clear on what your part is and what you part is not in the 3 realms of your whole life .... and then take a stand to stay focused on your part this year
This is preventative burnout and overwhelm care. It's self empowerment. It's feminine leadership. It's wise.
I look forward to diving in with you!

Fierce Grace Feminine Leadership Weekend - Power. Presence. Purpose. May 2020
Today I invite you to consider this powerful inquiry - one you have not likely asked yourself before: What is Holding Me? I know it sound esoteric, vast, vague, maybe even irrelevant to your day to day reality. But trust me, if you want to stay centered, calm, clear in this chaotic world, you want to know.
Feeling held is the tap root of your courage to step out, make changes, and speak up. When you feel held fear cannot derail you. When you feel held you are so clear within yourself that confusion, doubt, and anxiety melt away.
But what does feeling held mean?
And what is holding you, really, as you step into 2020 and beyond?
And what do you need to know to make sure that just as a tree is held by its roots in the ground, and the network of other trees, that you have what you need to weather the storms that are surely ahead?
One of my super powers is creating powerful inquiries that open up portals to deeper wisdom within us, questions that expand what's possibility and that shift our perspective so we can do things differently.
As we face 2020 and beyond, and I've been in my EMERGE Visioning and Intention Setting process, powerful inquiries that have been blowing my mind and opening up my imagination and intuition have been popping up like popcorn! I've been having deep conversations with friends about these and it's been altering how I choose to focus my life force in 2020. Giving me clarity.
So...
In this Feminine Power Time: What is Holding You? #1 of 3 in a series I'm calling Powerful Questions to Ask Yourself for 2020 and Beyond to Stay Centered, Calm, and Clear in Intense Changing Times we will dive into this inquiry together.
Making powerful inquiries is one of the feminine wisdom way tools we use to gain access to our own intuition and to the imaginal field of possibility, and to Divine guidance.
So no bullet points for you to read here.
Just tune in. I promise it will be practical and relevant, and perhaps shape your choices and focuses in ways that are not only enlightening but truly empowering.
Just as a tree must be held to grow strong, so you must be too.
For you who likely holds so much for others, what is holding you?
How do you cultivate the inner knowing that you are held? And how does that change everything?
With great heart,
Christine

Feminine Wisdom Way 2020 - Live, Lead and Succeed the Way Women Work Best.
Circle closes on Jan 19th.
Join us. Www.FeminineWisdomWay.com
Every year in January I wait to do this special Feminine Power Time session until the timing feels just right. This year, it was exactly on the first full moon of the year, a wolf moon, eclipse just as the sun was setting on the Puget Sound across from my studio window.
I’ve been thinking of you all for weeks and what would emerge to be shared on the yearly “Feminine Wisdom for The Year Ahead” episode.
After weeks of being in my own reflection and visioning process, watching what’s happening in the world, deepening in my own practice and listening for guidance from Wisdom with a capital W, once again, a series of ‘wisdom bytes’ flowed out.
Tune in for this year’s Feminine Wisdom for the Year Ahead - 202-, a yearly occurrence here at Feminine Power Time. It’s not about fortune telling, it’s about reading the signs all around us, feeling the knowings within us, and then being WISE about what is happening in the world and how we desire and choose to show up.
Feminine wisdom teaches us to prepare for the intensity, uncertainty, transformation and change that is just part of how the world is operating right now.
Not to brace yourself for it, but to embrace it, pace yourself through it and cultivate the vitality, resilience and wisdom you’ll need to stay elevated above the fray and the chaos.
Tune in with me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and women’s leadership and empowerment teacher, as we dive in.
See you there!
Christine

Different Way to Dream - www.femininewisdomsession.com
Feminine Wisdom Way - Vision, Plan, Focus and Grow the Way Women Work Best - www.femininewisdomway.com
There is a misunderstanding in our culture about visioning, dreaming and goals setting. The mainstream approach is rooted in the go, go , go, work hard, stay busy culture we've been trained to operate in. So we try to do too much, push too hard, and exhaust ourselves. The more spiritual approach is also laden with big misunderstandings about manifesting, the law of attraction, and vision boards that lead to self criticism & stress later in the year.
There is a different way. One that gives you access to deeper Wisdom that fuels & focuses your desires personally & professionally.
A way that gives you....
This is the way we naturally work best as women and humans... when we stop following the models of success and productivity set up for us, and start following our deep innate feminine wisdom.
In this special SALON episode: A Different Way to Dream and Achieve, I'll share with you a different approach for how to vision, focus and plan your year. So you have the wisdom, the practices, the processes for creating realities that sustain you and that are in alignment for who you are and what you truly desire.
It's taken me over a decade of living this way, after studying the mainstream business world and success models and then the more spiritual and personal growth models, to find this path.
Tune in!
Big heart
Christine
p.s. The Salon episodes are taken from the live Feminine Wisdom Sessions I do live throughout the year. I share the with you on the podcast so you can receive the wisdom. And you can also receive the video version.

What does it mean to be connected to Spirit? How do you trust that the Universe really has your back? How do you create a real, embodied relationship with the Divine, one that you can feel and work with in your daily life? Whatever you call this force or don't, in these intense times, if we want to stay clear, calm, on our soul's path, able to meet the challenges and expand in the possibilities, we need a personal, embodied relationship with the Divine.
But what does mean, and how do you do establish and keep this relationship strong, as an empowered human? So you can create the realities for yourself, others and this world you can feel in your heart are possible?
Taking a step beyond religion constructs or estoreric spiritual concepts, join me for this Feminine Power Time: Plug into Your Divine Downline: 3 Ways to Create a Stronger Connection with the Universe, #3 of 3 in our Trinity of Connection Series.
Whatever your beliefs and path are you are welcome in this conversation which is meant to be a way to expand and strengthen this very personal connection to the Divine/Universe/God/Force - whatever you call it. I will call it the Divine for simplicity. You choose whatever language works for you.
Some of what we'll dive into:
I felt so strongly we needed this series at this time to elevate our awareness about connection.
You and I need connection - but what is it really? We just dove into the three points of connection we need in our lives - Self (heart desires and soul path)... Others (intimate and collective community)... Divine.
As you step into this next cycle and set intentions, make changes, go for you dreams, take these points of connection into deep consideration. Make sure they are part of the practices and support you cultivate consciously. Connection is the net , the web that will hold you true to your soul's path and heart's desires... give you the courage and clarity you need to step forward into the unknown... and provide you with the guidance you need to create realities that go beyond what you've known before or what you see in the mainstream consciousness.
I look forward to our journey ahead!!
Much love,
Christine

Upcoming Happenings, Programs and Retreats
Most of us crave more meaningful, real connection, yet we also don't know how to cultivate it. Nor do we understand how we are holding ourselves back from the relationships we desire, individually and in community, professional and personally.
As humans we need connection with other people to feel strong, safe, and loved. As leaders, we need connection with others to bring our sacred work into the world in ways that sustain us vs. deplete us.
Which is why we dive deep into the second realm of the Trinity of Connection: Connection to Others in this episode of Feminine Power Time: #110: Have Stronger Connection with People & Community. Join me Christine Arylo, as we dive into:
I will also guide you to:
I'll share some of my process as I am going through this exploration again myself, as I often do every year at this time.
Connection is something you cultivate consciously.
Working with what you desire AND allowing the Universe to guide you to connect like a divine switchboard operator. So much better than distorted networking ... our super power comes from meaningful and authentic connection.
Tune in. This is ripe and ready for you to put into practice in your life now.
We all need connection. In fact, the wealthiest people are the ones who truly have meaningful connection.
See you there!

3. A Different Way to Dream , Focus & Set Goals - Wisdom Session on Jan 2nd. RSVP for free at www.FeminineWisdomSession.com
Without a strong connection to your Self, your true self, not your ego self or personality self or emotional self, it is way too easy to create a life, choose a career, start a business, stay in a relationship or job that will never nourish or fulfill you, no matter how hare you try.
Without consistent check ins with your Self, it's way too easy to end up 10 degrees off your soul's path.
Too easy to get lost in doing too many things that actually don't matter to you.
We hear lots about body/mind/spirit connection. But where's the heart? Where's the soul? We make lots of decisions from our logical minds, but is your life design really constellated and set up in a way that you LOVE YOUR LIFE, that you feel fulfilled and nourished and sustained? How successful are you feeling these days? Where are you giving your life force? Are you living your soul's path or someone else's version of success?
These are the kinds of inquiries we dive into in today's Feminine Power Time with me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor and MBA... #1 of 3 in our TRINTY OF CONNECTION Series: Get Connected to Your Heart Desires and Soul Design.
The first is Connection to Your Self, the true self - HEART, SOUL and body and then mind. Then we will dive into connection to your intimate circle and your connection to Spirit.Universe.Divine.
I'll lead you through a series of inquiries based on self awareness, self acceptance and self empowerment that will get you feeling and thinking inside about how you want to design your life, work and relationships in the coming cycle.
And lastly as I share these, you'll start to open up to what you are intending and visioning for the new year .... from a deeper place than your mind. So you create a reality that sustains you, on all levels. Sustainable success.
I am excited to share these inquiries and stories with you in this Connection series, going through what I call the Trinity of Love - connection to Self, connection to Others, connection to the Divine.
May this support you to create a reality in which you can give your gifts, make a difference, savor your life, and receive what you need.
Big heart,
Christine Arylo

One of our most powerful sources of courage, clarity and wisdom comes from listening to the stories and experience and insight of women who have walked the path before us ... comes from asking inquiries that seek to take us deeper into the heart and expand us into new possibility. Our power as women comes in being in heartfull honest no b.s. conversation with each other, where there is exchange, sisterhood and truth. The Fierce Grace talks are meant to be that for us here at Feminine Power Time.
I've wanted to do these for awhile now ... and while ones to come will likely have women talking live...I've now had the honor of being in conversation with Gloria Steinem twice. Once seven years ago 1:1 at a bistro in San Fran, and last night in a room of 2000 in Seattle. Both times she delivered wisdom bytes which have opened up awareness and given me confirmation of what we need as women, as humans, to stay centered, keep the hope, stand for peace and love and be agents of elevation and connection.
In this episode of Feminine Power Time #108: Fierce Grace Talk: What Ive Learned from Gloria Steinem, I synthesized three potent pieces of wisdom, 'wisdom bytes', for you and I to chew on and apply to our lives now. Coupled with some of my own stories and an ending meditation to take this all within yourself. And inquiries to make this practical now to meet the intensity of the world in your own place of fierce grace.
Tune in.
See you there.
Christine
Here's a picture of Gloria and I in 2012 when she gave me the first piece of wisdom that opened me up to create the body of work that will be in Overwhelmed and Over It!
p.p.s If you have any thoughts on how to best connect again with Gloria to share the wisdom she shared with me that I wrote up in the new book, email me at love@arylo.com
WISDOM BYTES
Women can't have it all if that means doing it all
Our power as people comes from being linked
Gather yourselves
Imagine your future self walking the path ahead of you. Let her lead you.
Growth comes from saying yes to the unknown
From The Truth will Set You Free, But First it Will Piss You Off
When you pause in November to get clear about how you COULD spend your energy, time and resources and then mindfully choose where to focus in your work, relationships, and personal health ... you are so much more likely to end the year feeling good about your choices, and so start the year ready and regenerated for what is to come.
This practice is called POWER PAUSING. Wise women do it 4-8 times a year at key points that harmonize us with the natural cycles.
Specifically we do it in November so we don't get caught up in the swirl of the holiday madness and consumption, but instead make space for what matters.
So many people fall into patterns during the holidays that drain and over stretch then - in how they spend their time, money, connection and what they consume.
The holidays turn us into human consumption machines when what we are craving is human connection.
In this Feminine Power Time power pause, "4 Inquiries to Support You to Create Space for What Truly Matters & What You Want to Get Done by Year End." Christine Arylo, women's leadership advisor, in which I'll share wisdom and walk you through a guided power pause:
Sending you wisdom and love that how you give yourself permission to stay focused on what matters and what sustains YOU as you complete this year.
Big heart,
Christine

3. For Women Leaders and Change Makers - The 2020 Elevate Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator Starts Jan 2020 - to get the invitation go here.
Wisdom Inquiries from Today:
What do you desire to be true about your sacred work in the world come spring next year? What do you need to focus on the last part of this year?
What will you complete by the end of this year? Choose only what feels empowering and sustaining ... 1-3 things for each realm at most:
Your Work
Your Financial Flow and Wealth
Look at your holiday rituals through the end of the year -what drains you? what sustains you?
While the holiday marketing and messages promise us tidings of peace and joy the reality is that the consciousness of overculture is set to get you and I to buy more, consume more, and do more. And while we all want more meaningful connection, and the last two months of the year can be full of invitations... it's way too easy to say yes to things because of obligation, habit or fear of missing out.
Every year as we go into November, I take a stand for us all here at Feminine Power Time to do things differently - in how we make our choices for how we spend our time, money and energy so that come the new year YOU FEEL SUSTAINED and REPLENISHED - emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially and mentally.
The next few Feminine Podcasts will support you to do this - full of wisdom, practices and permission. And I also host three Feminine Wisdom Sessions, one in Nov, one in Dec, one in Jan that go even deeper and give you the structure to make choices that support you to achieve and do what matters (more on those below).
For today's Feminine Power Time: "Doing Your Hoildays Differently: Choose What Sustains You vs. Drains You" I'll take you through:
Tune in.
I will be here every week, giving you the structure -the questions, the practices, the permission - so you don't fall into the over culture swirl, or the obligations or fear of missing out choices, or your own self sabotage to over indulge, over spend, over extend.
We need you to be healthy, on all levels. This world needs your heart and wisdom. I'm here to make sure you have it to give

Within you lies a great power that you are likely only using a very small part of - your Feminine Super Power of Intuition. In ancient times it was called "The Sight" and women, and men, were killed for having and using it. Women were called witches, whores, evil sorceress just because they could tap into what scientests now call 'the quantum field' to access insight, direct knowing. What does this have to do with you?
One of the biggest reasons we don't trust ourselves, doubt ourselves, don't speak up, don't feel confident, don't take the leap, or take a risk, or we stay stuck is because we don't have embodied access to our intuitive power nor do we know how to use it. And for thousands of years if you had it or showed it, you were a goner. Witch was just an easy way to shut women, and men up.
You need access to, and ways to strengthen your intuitive power to meet these intense times ... to SEE what is real... to SEE what is B.S. fed to you by the over-culture or other people... to SEE what your soul is trying to wake you up to.
So... I created this episode of Feminine Power Time: Get Witchy: Reclaim Your Feminine Super Power of Intuition for you. I literally taped it on the crescent moon, on Halloween, candles lit... let's dive in:
Tune in.
See you there.
Under the crescent moon.
with special thank you to Lisa Lister author of the book "Witch: Unleashed, Untamed, Unapologetic" for the definition of what witch really is. You may never use this word in how you describe yourself, but you want to understand what it means and see how it's been used to disempower women and men for far too long.
with great Heart,
Christine
p.s RSVP for the Feminine Wisdom Session on Nov 11th: Crazy Wisdom: Practices for Conjuring Up Clarity, Courage & Calm in Intense Times ... www.femininewisdomsession.com
p.p.s. LOVE for you to SHARE this with a friend or two who you think could benefit from a sacred pause in her life and open up to her own deep feminine wisdom within. SISTERHOOD POWER!
You have goals, dreams, desires, yes? Things you want to achieve, change, manifest, see happen? Ever feel like they are not happening fast enough or happening to the level you wanted or expected or see other people achieving? Ever judged yourself for not being where you think you should be now? Or put pressure on yourself with deadlines and timelines that you needed to do things by that stressed you out? Welcome to being a woman in the 21st century influenced by an overculture whose expectations for growth and success are completely distorted! And tune into this Feminine Power Time so we can support you to do it differently.
I've been working on my next book Overwhelmed and Over It! and thinking a lot about all of you and me and all of the women and courageous conscious men who have a big heart desire to make a difference in the world AND who desire to achieve their personal dreams and desires AND who want to be sustained materially and spiritually, and not have to sell their soul for money or have no money to keep their soul.
What I see so often is that we have not been taught how to work and grow our work, careers, and wealth in ways that really work, for how women or really humans work. So we exhaust ourselves, or our resources. Or we never feel like we are doing enough. Or we try and do too much.
So I took a pause from writing, to pop my head out and share this Feminine Power Time with you: Achieve Succeed Receive: How Women Grow Their Work, Careers and Wealth best.
A few thing we dive into:
I look forward to tuning in with you. Press pause. Tune in.

Opens first week of November. To receive the invitation go to

I would love more time! I wish I had more time! Oh, if I only had more time. I feel like I don't have enough time to do it all. Most of us feel the pressure of not enough time a lot. Our society thrives on time pressure, although you and I do not. While there are lots of ways timelines and deadlines get imposed on us that we don't have control over. There are many ways that you are creating your own stress and lack of time - which you can change and control. Obligation. Guilt. Worry. Over Efforting. That's where we dive in!
My mission in this Feminine Power Time podcast: Time Sucks & Time Stealers: 3 Ways to Stop Wasting Your Time SO You Have the Space for What Matters is to give you three very specific things to watch out for in the way you are making your choices that could be robbing time from you. Making you feel like you don't have enough time ... and filling up your time so you are busy doing too much... stealing time from what matters to you.
My intention is that you'll be able to identify these 3 time stealers and then use the practices and wisdom inquiries I share to make different choices ... to do the last part of this year differently, including the holidays, how you focus in your career/business, how you make sure there is space for what really matters to you.
Here's what we will dive into:
Here are the Wisdom Inquiries from the show:
OBLIGATION
- What do I want to give? What is in alignment to give?
GUILT
WORRY & OVER EFFORTING

I decided to extend our Power Pause into a 2-part series because I felt like we could use it! Lots of people feeling pressure, as we go into the last 3 months of the year. But that doesn't mean the pressure is healthy, needed or productive!
I'm going to take you through a mini version of a Feminine Wisdom Way practice I do once a year at this time to ferret out the "SELF INDUCED PRESSURE" - the pressure you put yourself that adds to your stress load, triggers your self sabotaging habits, drains your life force and sucks the joy out of whatever you are doing.
Self induced pressure is pressure you have the power to release.
You may not be able to change all the systemic pressure coming at you from $$ to deadlines to taxes or whatever. But you can change the self induced pressure.
Which is what we will do together in this Feminine Power Time with me, Christine Arylo, feminine leadership advisor, "Pressure Release Power Pause: 3 Ways to Release the Self-Induced Stress & Create Space and Sanity for the Rest of the Year.
Here's some of what we will dive into:
We will dive into your life now, and ferret out the self induced pressure you can release because of
This is such a supportive power power to do that will impact your career/work/business and your relationships AND your own sense of spaciousness, health and even money.
Wise women leaders pause before they move swiftly into the last 3 months of the year - this is the feminine wisdom way. Try this short practice and see what happens.

- Feminine Wisdom Session coming up - free - in late Oct/early Nov.
- Feminine Wisdom Way - Leading, Living and Succeeding a new way opens in November.
- Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator - starts Jan 2020. Accepting Applications starting November.
There are many things you could do these last 3 months of the year, but what is really most important to you? What will bring you the best returns? And what shifts in your habits, patterns, and structures are needed to support you in this last cycle?
Wise women know how to use the natural cycles of the earth and universe to support them to grow their work, wealth and relationships, to support their health, and to keep them focused on what matters.
The September Equinox offers you insight to illuminate where the imbalances currently exist in your life & how to reset yourself and refocus your life force - especially the ways in which you are over giving and under receiving, the habits that may have worked in the summer but won't support you now, and the ways in which making changes to your home, health and wealth can support you to end your year strong, sane and supported.
In this Feminine Power Time with women's leadership and empowerment advisor and teacher, Christine Arylo, marries her MBA business background with 15+ years of wisdom and spiritual study in practical ways that can support you to elevate out of overhwelm, stay focused on what matters, shift sabotaging habits and take care of small things that make a big difference.
Tune into this Power Pause and:
Be led through a visualization and meditation to:
Power Pauses are a form of feminine leadership which teaches us to work in harmony with the natural cycles of how the material and mystical world both work. Part of her Feminine Wisdom School, Arylo teaches how to use this ancient wisdom and way of working to apply to creating a life and work that creates an impact and is sustainable.

I've been talking with so many people who have been feeling the affects of the intensity of the state of the world, the intense weather, their own intense changing lives... and there is a lot of anxiety bubbling up that leads to doubt, confusion, burnout, overwhelm. So I thought we needed to have a honest heart to heart about:
Anxiety & Doubt: How to Release and Reduce the Confusion & Swirl Within You
* How do you know if anxiety and doubt is driving you? Some of you know because you can feel it in your body. But others of you are masking over it. Stuffing your anxiety and doubt with food, drink, tv, shopping, work? Neither way is good for us.
* What is causing the anxiety and doubt at amplified levels that you might not know are affecting you? It is normal to have fear. Normal to feel worry or anxiety at times. But the levels we are dealing with right now, adding to the overwhelm, are being caused in large part by events, technology and other people.
* What is underneath the anxiety that you may be having trouble accessing, so it keeps you in overwhelm, worry, doubt, confusion? I'll share a story of mine that reflects the deep grief many women feel at a heart level for what is happening to the planet, to the children, to the people that they don't know how to be with or release.
* How do you release this anxiety and doubt? So you can access clarity and calm and wisdom? I'll share some simple but mighty practices you can use in your daily life to release the anxiety and breakthrough to clarity and calm. I use these myself.
I've been feeling so passionate about sharing this story with you and some of the practices I use myself.
We live in intense times. If you are not practicing actively protecting your energy field, releasing the deeper grief or fear, it's like not taking a shower for weeks. Eventually your mind and subconscious will stink and your will be an emotional or physical mess. This is yogic wisdom for our modern world.
My role is to continue to help us be awake to what is happening around and within us. And to share the practices that can keep us centered, clear, in our hearts and higher intelligence to be agents for change, love, elevation and harmony in this world. In sustainable ways.
I hope this episode of Feminine Power Time - Ep #102: Anxiety & Doubt: How to Release and Reduce the Confusion & Swirl Within You - supports you wherever this finds you today.
with great heart,
Christine

If you are making choices that stretch you out of your comfort zone or go against the status quo you should expect fear to bubble up. It's normal and human. But how do you deal with the confusion, doubt, anxiety, frustration, impatience in a way that empowers you to make wise choices? And how do you get past it to find the wisdom that will actually guide you to making the wise and aligned choice for you?
The truth is that most of us were not taught how to work with the mental, emotional, physical, and energetic responses and reactions our bodies, minds, hearts and psyches have when we make choices that stretch us, or trigger past trauma, hurt or suffering.
But when you know how to work with both the parts of you that react from fear and past trauma or cultural or familial imprints AND the part of you connected to your true soul design and heart desires, you can the super power to elevate out of the doubt and confusion, into a inner knowing that empowers you to take action.

Fierce Grace Feminine Leadership Immersion and Incubator - Starts November 2019
You make choices every day. Every choice we make - big or small - affects the shape of our lives and the reality we live. But most of us were not taught how to make wise decisions. We’ve been taught to be logical, and practical, but decisions about your life made from only the intellect often lead you to creating realties that limit you, burn you out, keep you from what you truly desire.
In changing, intense times like we live in, where we are each making choices - in our career, relationships, business, money and health - you cannot just rely on your intellect or what the mainstream world is telling you to make courageous and wise choices.
Many of the choices I see women being faced with right now are also causing us to have to stretch outside our comfort zones … which can create feelings of fear and doubt… confusion and procrastination… and stress!
If you want to make choices that lead to a reality that supports you vs sacrifices you, you have to access both your heart wisdom and intuitive power first … have the inner skill to work with your own fear and confusion to find clarity… and then have the courage to make choices that will often look differently than others. And for this you need super powers, truly.
Which is why I decided to create this 3 part series on Feminine Power Time for you “Making Wise Choices”.
This first episode is focused on one of the super power tools I believe is essential … but most people lack. It’s called “Cultivating Your Wisdom Council” — without this I don’t think it is possible to stay focused on what matters, and make truly wise choices.
So tune in … I taped this on location in Northern California at the home of one of my soul sisters on my Wise Woman Council. during a weekend in which I came to visit 3 of the members of my council to help me make some big choices about my business and organization, and the shape of the reality those choices would create.
What I will share today is:
I also have two daring acts for you to put this into place in your life now.
Bring the choices and challenges you are facing ... and let's get you set up to have the support you need to stay clear and stay connected to what is true for you.
see you next week!
much love,
Christine

You know your lungs need oxygen to breathe. You know your heart needs love to feel safe and supported. You know your body needs water to survive. But did you know that your soul needs joy to thrive? And that more than likely due to the pressures of your life, your soul is hungering deeply for the joy it's being starved from. And this is affecting your health, your feelings of happiness, and even your real wealth. This is not coachy blah blah... this is straight up feminine wisdom for how you make sure that you have what you need to thrive in these intense times.
Are you happy? really? Do you feel fulfilled? Do you feel like you have the space in your life you need? Do you feel like your life is nourishing you? We need you to feel JOY inside so you can make the impact you desire to make! It cannot be about all work, taking care of others and giving without you receiving!
Last week I delivered a COURAGE boost to your heart, to help you receive the love you need to feel courageous and be courageous in your choices now and ahead.
This week's Feminine Power Time is a JOY BOOST - I am sending directly to your SOUL to increase your levels of wellness, contentment, happiness now ... not for when you go on vacation or reach nirvana. To make it through these times, our souls need JOY daily. Receiving joy is a choice, a practice both.
So many amazing beings I know are trapped in life designs that do not support their soul and inner harmony. We consciously choose to do this differently... today we dive into:
Consciously cultivating JOY as part of your daily life design and overall life design is one of the wisest choices you can make... do not discount it as woo woo, new agey or for later. Doing so will save you time, energy and money and more importantly will make sure the life you are living in the one you really want.
Self awareness Inquiries: (taken from The Path of Self Love)
GRACE UNDER PRESSURE PRACTICE
* As part of your evening downshifting, ask, "Did I receive JOY today?" If not, ask what would give you joy and do that before you go to bed!

** And take the survey to share with me what you desire at www.FemininePowerTimeSurvey.com
What is currently stretching you? Catalyzing or challenging you? Calling you to release, shed, complete so that you can step into what is next? In your career, relationships, community, family, health or wealth? And could you use a boost of courage and clarity to make choices, release the old and step forward?
Good! Me too! Which is why I created this Feminine Power Time for you. Its is a Courage and Clarity boost that will strengthen your CLARITY about:
COURAGE SO YOU CAN:
I've been doing these Feminine Wisdom for Intense and Changing Time episodes for a while, and based on the survey feedback I received so far, I'm going to make them part of the regular rotation.
In between the 4 major Power Pause times - Solstices and Equinoxes - there are 4 minor 'super power days' when the earth and cosmos make an energetic shift.
In the Feminine Wisdom Way we use the minor shifts to add 'love' and wisdom to whatever we are growing and tending in our lives - be that our work, relationships, health, wealth or presence.
Here at Feminine Power Time, I'll bring a simpler version to you, focused on what I'm guided to share, and what wisdom inquiries are connected to that specific time.
This Courage and Clarity Boost was taped on the super power of day of Lammas, August 1st - but you can listen any time and get the benefit. Lammas is a day for being at choice to what you are going to harvest this year and what will also affect your year next year. It's a time we use the feminine super power of Catalyze to consciously choose what roles, responsibilities and ways of expressing we want to SHED so we can be free to express who we desire to be now, and to have the space to grow in what our soul is calling for.
Enjoy the Clarity and Courage Boost! I'm shedding right along with you too!

Wisdom Inquiries:
What is stretching and catalyzing me right now? In my work, relationships, health, wealth or personal expression?
What do I need to shed or let go of to make room for what's wanting to emerge - Roles? Responsibilties? Robes of Repression, in my work or relationships?
What is the next step for me to take? Just the next step?
What does my Inner Mean Gir/Guy - that inner force of fear, doubt -- have to say about making this shift?
What does my Inner Wisdom know is true?

We live in a time when you just can't plan out your life 3, 5, 10 years in advance and then follow 'the plan' - although our minds and desires for safety would love that. We live in a time when the world is changing fast, and we are each being 'called up' to new sacred assignments, ways of living and working that our soul signed up for.
These 'soul stretches' and catalysts are calling for us each to step out of comfort zones and step into into a zone where we often can't see how it will work out, how it can work out and if it will work out.
This is where the Feminine Wisdom teaching - the feminine super power of Stepping in the Unknown comes in. It's a different way of operating that most of us were not taught, but it is a REAL thing. In this Feminine Power Time, Stepping in the Unknown with Courage and Clarity to Chart the Path Ahead: Planning the Feminine Wisdom Way, the 3rd in our series on Feminine Wisdom, I'll share the wisdom teaching on Stepping in the Unknown. And make it personal for you so you can work with it and can step through the changes coming with grace and courage, feeling and being supported, including:
If you missed the previous Feminine Wisdom Series episodes, #68 on Intuitive Attunement & #67 on Synchronicity with guest Nilima Bhat from Shakti Leadership, tune in!
I WOULD LOVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHAT YOU WANT MORE OF!!
Finally the Feminine Power Time Survey is ready for your input. Please go to www.FemininePowerTimeSurvey.com and share your thoughts ... THANK YOU! I will be reading them all.
Why do we consume things that are not good for our bodies? That make us feel sluggish, heavy, not at our best? Why do we believe that doing another diet, cleanse, or fast is going to finally be the trick? What if there were deeper reasons, unknown reasons to you, that drove the sabotaging choices that you make about what you put in, on and within your body? There are!
In this Feminine Power Time, the 3rd in our 3 part series on Receiving, I knew we had to dive into how a lack of receiving what we need in other areas of our lives, drives our choices for how we consume food, liquids, media, everything. And how a lack of receiving the wisdom we need vs. more information on the latest diet or super food or quick fix is keeping us from the wisdom of how our bodies really work as women.
So I invited a new wise woman sister to join us - a true sacred rebel, here to do things differently, Ms. Carly Pollack, author of the book "Feed Your Soul" and founder of Nutritional Wisdom to dive in deep with us and illuminate both the deeper reasons within ourselves and the hidden reasons in the overculture that keep us from having the vibrant, radiant, healthy bodies we desire.
I invite you to tune in, as we dive into this episode "Feed Your Soul Instead of Sabotage Your Body" and OPEN TO RECEIVE more of the wisdom and self-love you need to make choices that support you vs sabotage you.
In our conversation today we dive into:
It's a rich conversation with lots of #wisdombytes and inspiration. You will feel more open and more connected to yourself. Come and join us!

There is SO much you could do the rest of the year, so much and so many you could give to, but what really matters to you??
One of the smartest things we can do at the mid year point is to pause, reflect, realign and redesign what we are going to focus our life force, resources and time on. This is true for how you run your work life - business, team, organization, career, classroom, etc. And how you run your personal life - wealth, health, home, relationships. For SO many reasons.
This is what I call taking a Power Pause. It's a feminine wisdom way practice and a feminine leadership success principle. It's how we make sure we create realities that are both successful in what we desire to create and cause AND that are sustainable.
It's also a best practice for getting out of overwhelm and the feelings that you are never doing enough or have enough.
I've been doing Power Pauses myself for a decade and every year at this time I teach mid year power pauses, which I call FLOW for focus your life force on what matters, in many different forms. A virtual program/retreat, in person retreats and for women's leadership groups and teams within organizations.
For you beloved Feminine Power Time listener, 4x a year I do these special Power Pause episodes that include 6 inquiries that are like a Power Pause appetizer. They give you a taste of the full process, and enough of a taste to give you some wisdom bytes about what you truly desire this coming year.
In this episode, "POWER PAUSE: It's Mid-Year, Time to Reflect & Redirect: 6 Inquiries to Get Focused On What Really Matters to You the Rest of the Year" I will share with you
And I will take you on a guided journey to:
In the Feminine Power Time, I'll share 6 inquiries, which I also listed below. I invite you to journal on them. Invite a friend or your partner out to dinner to share about them. And then if you want to really receive the benefit of the mid year Power Pause, take the online version, you can do at your own pace or join me at one of the in person weekends or evening workshops.
INQUIRIES:
Celebrate and acknowledge one thing you have done this year. Acknowledge one way you have made a difference in a persons life this year.
What would you love to have the space to do this year?
What would you like to be true by next year?
What has the potential to flourish if you focus on it?
What needs to be let go? Composted.
What can you put on maintenance mode to make space to grow other things?

Our human heart needs love to thrive just like our lungs need oxygen to survive. We are taught to be strong, have self esteem and project confidence. We desire to have meaningful ‘relationships’ in both our ‘romantic’ life and ‘friend’ life. But most women I know are lacking the connection, support, intimacy, affection, and acknowledgment they need and desire in both areas of their life.
Why?
We are weak receivers. Our capacity to receive the love, support, care, intimacy - aka your Love Quotient - is low. So even if the love and connection comes, you don’t actually let it in, really.
We’ve had to protect ourselves and so have built walls around us or become like teflon. So the connection cannot really get through.
We are so busy doing, we don’t have the space for true connection.
And more…
In this Feminine Power Time, "Receive More Love, Connection, & Support in Your Relationships", #2 in our series called OPEN TO RECEIVE, Christine Arylo dives into the realm of intimate relationships. Your life partner relationship and your sisterhood and deep soul family.
Tune in to reveal and become more aware of:
Most of all come to press a pause on all the pressure you put on yourself to achieve in your career or to take care of others …. and be honest that you desire more love, connection and support in your life.
This episode of FemininePower Time is a choice to create space for what truly matters to your heart. That doesn’t make you weak. it makes you wise and a woman.
Wisdom Inquiries
Consider the relationships you desire - in your beloved partnership life and in your sisterhood (for women), brotherhood (for men) or soul circle for any gender. Notice what you desire. And what is true now.
What am I protecting myself from?
What strategies am I employing to protect myself? Over protecting? Over giving? Walls around my Heart? Teflon affect?
What opens my heart?
What do I desire to receive in my beloved partnership? in my soul circle? Connection? Camaderie? Intimacy? Recognition? Acknoweldgement? Affection?
Then go into your life and notice when you are contracting away from the love, and when you are expanding.
Choose to expand your love quotient - use the mantra I OPEN TO RECEIVE!

Choosing ME & WE 40-Day Practice
Cultivate the Loving, Supportive Relationships You Desire & Deserve
Starts August 1st
How do you achieve what you desire in your work and career, and receive the financial flow you need without driving, striving, pushing, and working so much your life gets out of whack? Or you feel depleted because you are giving, working and doing so much, but not receiving the money, support, space, time, appreciation and recognition desire and deserve?
We have been bred to be strong achievers and self less care givers, but few of us have been taught how to be strong receivers. We've been taught to be ambitious in order to be successful, so we approach our work, career and businesses like a racehorse with a strong desire for success and achievement. But even if we get 'there' - it doesn't feel like enough. We cannot receive it.
A big part of my work in teaching feminine leadership and living and leading the feminine wisdom way is in teaching and living myself the feminine super power of RECEIVING.
A lack of receiving is at the root of all burnout, overwhelm, self sacrifice, overworking, over giving, feeling dissatisifed in your work, relationships and making self sabotaging choices about what you consume.
So... I thought we should dive into RECEIVING.
This three part series of Feminine Power Time is called OPEN TO RECEIVE.
In this first Open to Receive episode: 95: Achieving Success + Receiving What You Need in Your Work and Wealth we:
Tune in.
And come back for the next OPEN TO RECEIVE session, focused on opening to receive the love, support, connection you desire in relationship.

As we approach the mid year point, ask yourself how is the pace and rhythm of your life working for you? Are you focused on what matters? Do you even have the space to focus on what matters? The truth is the swirl of the world & the pace of the systems you work in aren't going to slow down... but you do have the power within you to set the rhythm of your life differently.
But... "You only discover balance in your life when you learn to trust the flow of the ancient rhythm" - john O'Donohue.
What does that mean? I will share more with you...
I broadcast this episode the last two years at this same time, and decided to share it again because as I listened to it myself today I was inspired by what I said. I couldn't say it better a second time.
So using two feminine leadership principles I'll share at the start of our conversation, I share this timeless wisdom with you for this time now. Tune in xoxo.
About this Feminine Power Time with Christine Arylo:
We lead crazy paced lives in part because we have made the unconscious choice to allow the rhythm of our life to be dictated by the pace the patriarchy and over culture has set - keeping us frenzied, fragmented and not focused on what truly matters.
And there is another choice...
Feminine wisdom shows us how to be in the world without being of the world, by taking the powerful act to consciously set the patterns and rhythms of days, weeks, months and years in a way that creates harmony, not havoc.
This was originally the third episode in the "Breaking Through the Myth of Balance" Series, as we illuminate a different way to live - so we can focus on what matters, be the most powerful presences of change, without exhausting ourselves and our resources including:

Wisdom Inquiries:
What would I love to have the space to create? birth? experience? do? this year but I never seem to have the time or space for?
What support do I need to create the space for what you want to create?
Wisdom Bytes:
"When we try to do too much and too fast, we exhaust ourselves, our time, our money and we do not have enough of what we need."
"Organizations often try to do too much and too fast so they burn out their employees. We have to ask ourselves why are we driving and striving so hard? What is sustainable growth? And when will we give up the dominate the world culture as normal or acceptable."
"There is something deeper within you that wants the space to create or express. You have the power within to restructure your weeks and days. You cant make more time but you can create the space."
"It is a daring act to choose to live within a different structure than the one you've been conditioned to believe is normal. If you get into the flow of the natural cycles and deepen into the roots of mother nature, and allow the space for grace to come in, the path ahead will become illuminated."
