Breaking Chains Through Connection
Who’s an unchainer anyway? It’s anyone who has internal chains to break of course! An old self to integrate and overcome limitations of, trauma to heal, conditioning to break free from. But can she/ he do it alone? As I announce the birth of the Unchainers community on Mighty Networks, I dive deep into just why it is powerfully crucial for us to do the work of unchaining ourselves TOGETHER as a community, away from the distractions of social media. https://www.unchainingme.com

Femininity and Masculinity with my husband
My husband is in the hot seat in this season-opening episode.  As we observe international Women's Day, we talk openly about how we experienced our genders growing up in a highly sexist, cultural and religious environments in Ethiopia. We share what factors helped shape how we came to view femininity and masculinity after living as first generation immigrants in different parts of the world.  How discovering our hidden natures for ourselves, finding a spiritual connection with each other from a new place of defining our identities and raising second generation girls and boys in western cultures all challenge us and reward us all at the same time. https://www.unchainingme.com

Why you are the way you are and what you can do about it
Have you ever stared at your reflection in the mirror and asked “what is wrong with me?” or  “why am I the way I am?” I have. Countless times! Accompanied by tears and growing hopeless by the episode.We all face some kind of inner blocks, self judgement and our own thoughts and emotions holding us back  from living the life we feel and desire to live. Some of us more than others. The key is, are we really asking the question “why am I the way I am?” Or passing it as self judgement? What if we asked “what happened to me?” Instead of “what’s wrong with me?” Find out in this podcast how to deal with your inner critic and internal blocks that keep you from showing up the way you want to in life. Thank me later. Or just share it so it serves someone else  https://www.unchainingme.com

Change, seasons and The Flow
Why do we resist change? Why do we fear transitions, slowing down, speeding up? Why must we remain at peace with the ever changing realities that govern life?  This is my reflection on what I contemplated in the span of the last several weeks. Election in America, looming civil war in Ethiopia, my personal and familial needs and limitations which demand a slower pace....I fought and resisted it all. Listen in for the realization that was born out of it all. https://www.unchainingme.comhttps://www.unchainingme.com
