Today's episode features a joy-infused, nervous system-soothing conversation between kindred spirits Brenda Winkle and KJ. The ladies contemplate ways to recover and enhance our intrinsic power: our intuition.

As a trauma-informed Reiki Master, Brenda helps highly sensitive people, over-achievers, perfectionists, people pleasers, and empaths set boundaries, protect their energy, and heal their nervous systems. She holds a master's degree in Educational Leadership, and a BS in Music Education, and spent 26 years of her career in elementary and choral music classrooms.

She stepped away from full-time teaching and now runs her business full-time but still volunteers on a regional board as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Chair. She has been trained as an Advanced ThetaHealing® Meditation Technique Practitioner, and a trauma-informed Breathwork Facilitator.

Compassionate Considerations:

🍃 Align your inner and physical selves and chase joy endlessly.

🍃 Uncover authentic purpose by observing unguarded, uninhibited moments.

🍃 Have physical reminders for self-care and self-protection out within your eye line for easy accessibility.

🍃 Preparation is a form of self-compassion and activism.

🍃The Heart Hug technique crosses brain meridians and moves us out of the brain stem, our reptilian [survival] response mode.

🍃 When we model stepping into our aligned power, we grant permission for future generations to claim theirs.
