EP 36: Stop Blocking Support & Shift Into Receptivity

* How to Receive the Support of the Goddess through Sisterhood *

During the heroine’s journey, there’s a point of surrender where you realize you are not alone and you have the choice to receive support. You can be stubborn and continue to try to force everything to happen on your own, or you can open your heart to the goddess. This is integral to women stepping into their feminine leadership and coming into a new level of embodying the divine. In this episode, you will experience the power of being held and supported so that you can truly show up in your magic.
