How the Suppression of the Feminine in Western Culture Is Still Unconsciously Shaping Our Lives
‌
I am THRILLED and honored to have Dr. Betty J. Kovacs on Women Thriving Unapologetically!! This is truly an honor to sit down and have a conversation on how the suppression of the feminine in Western culture is unconsciously shaping our lives.

Our current assumptions and the ways we live our day to day lives are often rooted in unconscious beliefs that we hold. The things we’ve been taught or just accepted as fact influence us today. Betty has been troubled by this reality when it comes to finding the feminine in the western world.

Betty and I will spend some time unpacking those thoughts and examining some of our inherited narratives and the wounds they have created. Betty’s passion is to help us rediscover our sacred heritage and the accompanying birthrights of immortality, creativity, and divinity.

Are you tired of dieting? Or trying to live healthfully only to struggle with chronic illness? Do you long to be free of cravings that you can’t seem to fight no matter how hard you try? What if we told you that some of the everyday foods that you eat are sabotaging your best efforts to live healthy and free?

In this episode of Women Thriving Unapologetically, I get to have a fascinating conversation with Dr. Joan Ifland about our collective addiction to processed foods. The American diet has changed radically over the last 50 years and many of us are addicts as a result! And we don’t even know it. Dr. Ifland shares the science to support that recovery from processed food addiction could be a new answer to gaining control over food and living free of chronic pain and health issues.

I was recently on and the host, led with the question “Tell us about your Heroine’s Journey?”

What a great question and definitely a big one to start off a conversation!

I have shared my story 100 + times and found myself not wanting to share it again. I am bored with that part of my story. This past May’s lunar eclipse was full of magic and witchery. I felt a portal to the past close and an initiation begin. All initiations require us to walk across a threshold but the space between the old and new cannot be bypassed or rushed through. It is the sacred realm of liminal space.

This is where I find myself now.

Liminal spaces are transformative, but not always comfortable. I am in the betwixt and between, the space of nothingness, the fertile void. All of which gives me nothing to cling to, not even my past. It is a space of complete surrender, uncertainty, and faith. It is a space that insists on stillness and for me to deeply listen. The stillness is necessary so I can surrender my expectations, the momentum of the mind, and the frenetic cadence of our culture so I can sense the pulse of Mother Earth, feel the subtle hand of the Divine, and hear the whisper of my own inner knowing.

To get still, I must pull away from the distractions that disturb my energy and peace. One of those distractions is social media. If you don’t see a post from me, a reel, or a story every day (as is expected from… who exactly, I don’t know), trust that my story is unfolding from within me as I delve into the magic and mystery of the unknown.

Perhaps I will share what unfurls. Perhaps not. Not all is meant to be shared.

For many years I have been asked by students to lead a Yoga Teacher Training (YTT). I never felt like it was the right time, until now. I have steeped myself in the practice of yoga for 15 years. In that time my relationship to the practice, to my body, mind and heart has evolved, expanded, and led me through some of the most difficult times of my life.
Yoga is a journey of awakening where you awaken your highest potential for living, loving, and leading. By stepping into a YTT you step onto a new path to bring forth parts of yourself and potential that will ignite, invigorate and transform your life. From the inside out. A YTT is about deepening your knowledge of yoga so that it becomes integrated wisdom through lifelong practice.

This YTT is a collaborative effort of 4 women, (Ashley Holland, Chloe Watkins, Samantha Weisner, and me), with various backgrounds and understandings of yoga. We pull from our individual strengths to give you an immersive and diverse experience of these ancient teachings. Feminine leadership is one of collaboration, community, authenticity, and a space of belonging.

I will be leading a yoga class June 19th at Santosha Yoga in Crozet, 9:30 am. Come for class and stay after for an in-person YTT information session.
If you cannot attend, feel free to reach out to me and we can jump on a quick call to answer any of your questions. There is more information in my bio. Look through it, gather your questions and reach out. We want this to feel good and aligned with your heart!

Please note, the first 5 registrants get a 1:1 complimentary mentorship call with either me or Ashley Holland during your training to deepen your support and understanding of the practices.

I look forward to taking this journey to awakening with you.

May has been filled with the paradoxes of life. The month, weeks, days, and sometimes even hours have been bookended with deep connection, laughter, a coming home to my Self on one end and intense pain, confusion, and surrender into the void on the other.

This is life. How we navigate it is up to us. Yoga has not only been a tool for me to navigate challenges but a way of living that keeps me rooted during tumultuous storms, aligned with my heart when loss wants to strip me of hope, and connected with the magic and abundance of Nature when the external world would have me believe only in lack and scarcity.

Yoga is a way of being. If you are interested in a way of life that can keep you steady, rooted, and open to the wonder of life, join me on a journey to awaken your inner teacher. This fall we embark on a Yoga Teacher Training where you will empower your inner teacher to take the reins in your life and support you in learning to lead, love, and guide from the seat of the teacher.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed and exhausted by everything you have to do, yet still seem to find yourself wondering if you’re doing “enough”? In this episode of Women Thriving Unapologetically, Amelia Nagoski and I talk about how to unlock the stress cycle that often leads to burnout and how hidden (and not so hidden) patriarchal beliefs keep women stuck in a chronic cycle of stress and overwhelm.

Amelia believes that wellness is not a state of mind, but a state of action. We’ll examine the lies we’ve been told about what wellness “should” look like, and instead create space in our lives for freedom.

As we approach the Summer solstice, a special time marking the transition from spring to summer, there are numerous ways we can celebrate and pay tribute to this significant shift. For me, I lean into the teachings of yoga for inspiration and guidance. During the Spring Equinox, we embarked on a seasonal journey, sowing new seeds and setting fresh intentions that resonated with the desires of our hearts.

As we approach the Summer Solstice, the gift of extended daylight hours bestows upon us a greater abundance of the sun's energizing and nurturing power, which fuels our intentions. This pivotal moment represents the subsequent stage in the sacred cycle of life. It serves as a gentle reminder to turn our focus inward and embark on a quest for the nourishment necessary for our personal growth and evolution. Amidst the Summer Solstice, when the sun's brilliance reaches its pinnacle, we are presented with a precious occasion to establish a profound connection with the wisdom emanating from our own inner "sun" or intuition.

In accordance with the teachings of Ta**ra, the path of practice encompasses three stages: Moon, Sun, and Fire. Sun practices enable us to establish a profound connection with the transformative energy of prana, facilitating the rejuvenation of our life-force and replenishment of our five senses. By engaging in these practices, we elevate the caliber of our attention, enhancing our capacity to fully experience and embrace the vitality of life.

In this master class, you will embark on a journey through a series of accessible and expansive postures, including backbends and lateral poses. These movements are designed to cultivate deep inhalation and gentle retention, enhancing the breath's rejuvenating power. By integrating the use of mantra, you will amplify the overall impact of the practice, allowing for a heightened experience. The class culminates with a revitalizing meditation, aimed at nourishing and revitalizing your brain, mind, and body.

All levels welcome.

I Am Enough, How to Love Yourself Unapologetically

How can you love yourself and know, with your whole being, that you are enough even when your dreams don’t work out?

On this episode of Women Thriving, Unapologetically, Lynsie sits down with Carrie Severson, the author of Unapologetically Enough and the Chief Executive Officer of a book publishing business to discuss how we can remain rooted in who we are, stay true to our vision and know we are enough even when the world tells us otherwise.

Carrie shares how she started her own publishing business after dozens of literary agents passed on her work because she didn’t have a big enough platform. So she created her own to help leaders just like her―unapologetic in their stories without massive following.

Be sure to listen live, 10:00am EST on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel or on demand.
