Maureen Spielman:

Maureen Spielman:

Hey there, welcome to mystical sisterhood. This is your host,

Maureen Spielman:

Maureen Spielman. I started the show to highlight the

Maureen Spielman:

intuitives, healers and other courageous women that I've met

Maureen Spielman:

along my journey and continue to meet. Through amazing

Maureen Spielman:

interviews, I seek to ask insightful questions to uncover

Maureen Spielman:

ways in which you the listener can apply the wisdom and

Maureen Spielman:

knowledge to your own life. I believe that we're all in this

Maureen Spielman:

together. So sharing healing and joy, and bringing community

Maureen Spielman:

together is both my passion and purpose. If you'd like to learn

Maureen Spielman:

more about the mystical sisterhood community I'm

Maureen Spielman:

building, please visit www mystical sisterhood.com See you

Maureen Spielman:

in the episode.

Maureen Spielman:

Hi, welcome back to mystical sisterhood. This is Maureen

Maureen Spielman:

Spielman, your host and I'm solo today. I'm excited, because I'm

Maureen Spielman:

celebrating six months of the podcast. It started in January,

Maureen Spielman:

and today I am on episode 30. I wouldn't be here without you,

Maureen Spielman:

the listener first and foremost, and all of my guests, I probably

Maureen Spielman:

have interviewed around 25 guests. So far. I've been

Maureen Spielman:

excited about each and every interview. And I'm really

Maureen Spielman:

excited about what's to come. I decided today for the solo

Maureen Spielman:

episode, to talk about developing inner trust, or

Maureen Spielman:

honing it. If you've been on this path for a while, wherever

Maureen Spielman:

you are on your journey. Mystical sisterhood, and

Maureen Spielman:

bringing this to life has really been a journey of trusting

Maureen Spielman:

myself stepping into myself. And I really feel that it's an

Maureen Spielman:

expression at the soul level for me. And also in addition to the

Maureen Spielman:

world that was much needed. So I was looking for some inspiration

Maureen Spielman:

of where to start today. And probably like you, I have many,

Maureen Spielman:

many, many personal growth and spiritual books on my bookshelf.

Maureen Spielman:

In fact, it's a running joke that I can't stop buying them.

Maureen Spielman:

And people I know, close friends family, they can't either. So I

Maureen Spielman:

know I'm not alone in this. But a beautiful book came across my

Maureen Spielman:

path, probably over a year ago. And it may be one that you

Maureen Spielman:

haven't heard of. It's called Be still my heart. And it's by

Maureen Spielman:

Shaku Selvakumar and she is a dear sister in law have a friend

Maureen Spielman:

of mine, Xena, and sorry Selvakumar. So I was looking for

Maureen Spielman:

inspiration in this book of poetry, again called Be still my

Maureen Spielman:

heart. And I found a poem called the House of belonging, which I

Maureen Spielman:

thought was really applicable and apropos for today, the house

Maureen Spielman:

of belonging, she walked into the house of belonging,

Maureen Spielman:

oblivious of any wrongdoing, stepping into cluttered rooms,

Maureen Spielman:

hearing echoes from childhood wounds, memories from teenage

Maureen Spielman:

years, brave planets orbited without fear, so comfortable.

Maureen Spielman:

She was not shedding her skin, hugging a tightly she sat within

Maureen Spielman:

foreign seeking, you surely will find not always what you had in

Maureen Spielman:

mind. She searched today, in the house of love. The furniture was

Maureen Spielman:

swept away. She sat in the dark in the house of faith, with

Maureen Spielman:

nothing at hand, but the hope of grace. She picked up bricks in

Maureen Spielman:

the house of trust for a strong foundation instead of fear. She

Maureen Spielman:

made friends in the house of gray, every strand had something

Maureen Spielman:

to say. Or the journey inside, crosses terrain unknown, a

Maureen Spielman:

forked path, a blossoming tree, she waits to see, she stays to

Maureen Spielman:

see. So you can see at the end of this poem, it has touched my

Maureen Spielman:

heart. I love this house of belonging. And I believe that

Maureen Spielman:

that house of belonging exists within you within all of us. And

Maureen Spielman:

so today I wanted to do Talk about delving into a deeper

Maureen Spielman:

relationship to that inner home. So you may continue to develop

Maureen Spielman:

your inner trust, finding your own North Star, as they say,

Maureen Spielman:

being your own go to person for answering so many of life's

Maureen Spielman:

questions. And if you're like me, persistent questions come

Maureen Spielman:

again and again. And new ones keep coming all the time. So

Maureen Spielman:

we're human, and we can expect that. I always, it's because I

Maureen Spielman:

didn't know anything different. I used to think that that

Maureen Spielman:

Northstar, or that compass was outside of me, I'd find that

Maureen Spielman:

teacher or book that would be my guide, in my reference point.

Maureen Spielman:

And to some degree, I still do, or that that a loved one could

Maureen Spielman:

be the answer to my happiness. And, in fact, all of my

Maureen Spielman:

teachers, whether in the form of a true, you know, quote,

Maureen Spielman:

unquote, teacher, or my teachers within my family, or my friend

Maureen Spielman:

group, they are my guides, they are the ones that bring me back

Maureen Spielman:

to my answers. But I am at the center of the show, I love how,

Maureen Spielman:

you know, they often say that when we have recurring patterns

Maureen Spielman:

in our lives that frustrate us, or we seem like we can't get

Maureen Spielman:

away from or out of that we are always at the center of it. So

Maureen Spielman:

that to me, says that we have these answers within. They lead

Maureen Spielman:

my teachers and messengers lead me back to this inner home. For

Maureen Spielman:

most of my life, I didn't understand that the people on

Maureen Spielman:

the outside and the words in the books, we're not going to hold

Maureen Spielman:

those complete answers. So again, they contributed to me

Maureen Spielman:

finding it, but they weren't it. So I love the Choate, the

Maureen Spielman:

coaching path that I've chosen to do it I call it soul care

Maureen Spielman:

coaching, and of course, trained by Suzy Lulu spaced in spiritual

Maureen Spielman:

psychology. And the premise is, and this applies to all of us is

Maureen Spielman:

that you are whole and worthy as is, you have the answers within,

Maureen Spielman:

and that there is nothing to be fixed. As I sort of wrote this

Maureen Spielman:

out, as I was preparing, I thought, How beautiful is that?

Maureen Spielman:

Does it get more beautiful? Can you imagine being a little child

Maureen Spielman:

and being told these things, I'm laughing because I thought to

Maureen Spielman:

myself, that though I loved my parents dearly, I wished for a

Maureen Spielman:

do over, that do over of what it must have felt like to hear

Maureen Spielman:

those words when I was young. So I see coaching as a journey of

Maureen Spielman:

guiding you back to your truth, and developing an inner trust

Maureen Spielman:

that becomes very reliable over time. I believe that if we would

Maureen Spielman:

have been tended to in those ways, we would have developed

Maureen Spielman:

this really, I don't know, just intimate relationship with

Maureen Spielman:

ourselves. So that's what I'm interested in. Now, I really do

Maureen Spielman:

find that so many of these terms and concepts come at midlife.

Maureen Spielman:

And if it's true for me, I have to believe it's true for a lot

Maureen Spielman:

of us that it's a new language, new practices, new ways of being

Maureen Spielman:

that can lead us back to a really deep, intimate

Maureen Spielman:

relationship with ourselves, and a deep and intimate trust with

Maureen Spielman:

ourselves. Developing an inner relationship is one of the most

Maureen Spielman:

sacred things we can do in our lifetime. Getting to know

Maureen Spielman:

yourself so deeply that you can rely on yourself to give

Maureen Spielman:

compassion to yourself in difficult times, lean on

Maureen Spielman:

yourself to take pause and know that you will steer yourself in

Maureen Spielman:

the right direction. And to become really adept at

Maureen Spielman:

recognizing the signs coming to you, the universe around you,

Maureen Spielman:

the intelligence of your body and your emotions. So

Maureen Spielman:

essentially, you become your go to person, as experiences come

Maureen Spielman:

your way. If you're in a pattern of reaching out to another, when

Maureen Spielman:

you're when you're going through something, you will find that

Maureen Spielman:

investing in a relationship to yourself will not take away that

Maureen Spielman:

need completely because we are we are wired for connection and

Maureen Spielman:

to be with one another. But it will reduce in a sense that sort

Maureen Spielman:

of need or craving for an outer validation because what you do

Maureen Spielman:

is you begin to enter validate yourself. And developing inner

Maureen Spielman:

trust can feel like work. It's delving into new

Maureen Spielman:

ways and I believe taking personal responsibility for how

Maureen Spielman:

we're showing up for ourselves. So, although not clear at times,

Maureen Spielman:

I tend to look at getting to my truth, my answers as a discovery

Maureen Spielman:

process. And when I'm in that place, to come to myself with

Maureen Spielman:

curiosity, and a willingness just to look inside. So why

Maureen Spielman:

might your relationship to trusting yourself deeply, feel a

Maureen Spielman:

bit rocky or unsteady? Or even? Like, what is Maureen talking

Maureen Spielman:

about? And I believe it's because we were steered away, we

Maureen Spielman:

came into the world with that inner compass, that inner

Maureen Spielman:

knowing I like to think of it as an inner calibration. And just

Maureen Spielman:

because we are human, and we came up in whatever culture you

Maureen Spielman:

came up in, our parents greatly influenced us. And we often went

Maureen Spielman:

to what they wanted us to do our teachers, we know in school

Maureen Spielman:

systems, we behave in certain ways. And we lose that in

Maureen Spielman:

touchiness with ourselves, maybe someone in our life told us we

Maureen Spielman:

were wrong, or that wasn't accurate, or there was a better

Maureen Spielman:

way, and you began to believe it. So the news media,

Maureen Spielman:

magazines, teachers, specialists, you name it, I

Maureen Spielman:

invite you to look back at your life, you have been surrounded

Maureen Spielman:

by other people's voices, opinions and ways of doing

Maureen Spielman:

things. And again, places I entrust it to others, and

Maureen Spielman:

allowed them to impact how I felt about myself or what

Maureen Spielman:

decisions I made. And when I kind of pondered, where have I,

Maureen Spielman:

perhaps given away my trust? True, you know, when I was

Maureen Spielman:

younger, blindly, but I guess, I'm inviting us to be on a path

Maureen Spielman:

of discerning what is our truth? And can we trust it? So places I

Maureen Spielman:

know that I gave away my inner trust, were allowing someone to

Maureen Spielman:

determine what smart was for me. And then not trusting myself

Maureen Spielman:

that I actually had this intelligence inside, I had no

Maureen Spielman:

idea for most of my life. Allowing something on the

Maureen Spielman:

outside to determine how I needed to look or show up. What

Maureen Spielman:

size I needed to be any of those things, those messages came

Maureen Spielman:

through loud and clear. Gosh, if you're my generation, in

Maureen Spielman:

magazines, and television, and so this kind of trust coming

Maureen Spielman:

back to myself of what is in alignment with how I want to

Maureen Spielman:

feel, I think allowing others to take the two know the best

Maureen Spielman:

course of action for my children. That's where I love

Maureen Spielman:

the tie in of conscious parenting. And I think conscious

Maureen Spielman:

parenting is a really beautiful Avenue, and portal to find out

Maureen Spielman:

our truths. So consider that. If you've never considered

Maureen Spielman:

conscious parenting, I do find that most people who come to me

Maureen Spielman:

for conscious parenting, are working on relationship to self.

Maureen Spielman:

It because we know that then that spills over into not only

Maureen Spielman:

our self trust, but the Trust for our children as well. And I

Maureen Spielman:

guess in general, just allowing someone to determine my self

Maureen Spielman:

worth. So it's not that people in our lives are not

Maureen Spielman:

trustworthy. But we are being invited to remember that what we

Maureen Spielman:

know feel and how our experiences have guided us and

Maureen Spielman:

are guiding us and that tuning into what you feel is not to be

Maureen Spielman:

taken lightly at all. It should be the biggest part of decision

Maureen Spielman:

making in your life if you ask me. So going to yourself first,

Maureen Spielman:

before anything else. I wanted to say, how do you do this? How

Maureen Spielman:

do I do this? How have I learned to do this? And it's based on

Maureen Spielman:

the premise that in order to trust yourself, you need to feel

Maureen Spielman:

safe. So we know that this is true on the outside and the

Maureen Spielman:

outside. If we're in relationship with someone in

Maureen Spielman:

order to trust them, and have an abundant relationship, we need

Maureen Spielman:

to feel safe. And if someone on the outside is not treating you

Maureen Spielman:

well for any reason, you're not going to feel safe, you won't

Maureen Spielman:

trust them. This is an invitation then to take a look

Maureen Spielman:

inside that goes for inner work as well. What can undermine your

Maureen Spielman:

own feeling of safety and trust on the inside? So I think that

Maureen Spielman:

we all have an awareness how we can be hard on ourselves. But if

Maureen Spielman:

we begin to dial up our awareness a bit, it's going to

Maureen Spielman:

lead us to answers. So sometimes it is paying attention to how

Maureen Spielman:

people on our outside are hard on themselves. But being

Maureen Spielman:

judgmental of yourself. And this is sometimes that quiet internal

Maureen Spielman:

voice, or not saying things out loud, but being judgmental of

Maureen Spielman:

yourself in your mind, saying, You shouldn't have done that.

Maureen Spielman:

Either recently, or in the past a long time ago, we can create a

Maureen Spielman:

lot of judgments about how we have shown up and the things we

Maureen Spielman:

have or haven't done. Shaming yourself creates an unsafe

Maureen Spielman:

environment inside, you're not a good person, or something's

Maureen Spielman:

wrong with you, or there's something to be fixed or you're

Maureen Spielman:

defective, because of something you've done recently, or a long

Maureen Spielman:

time ago, again, I keep on saying like, being judgmental of

Maureen Spielman:

yourself, and being shameful inside. I keep on saying a long

Maureen Spielman:

time ago, because we can carry events from our past, and how we

Maureen Spielman:

acted and showed up in our psyche for a long time. We know

Maureen Spielman:

that they exist within ourselves, because we

Maureen Spielman:

experienced them. Or we may or may not know that, but they do.

Maureen Spielman:

But I know that I've had many act of loops on things that have

Maureen Spielman:

happened in the past. For me, it can be different for all of us,

Maureen Spielman:

particularly it was my teenage years. Because that was when I

Maureen Spielman:

was most out of alignment, I feel. I feel it through my life,

Maureen Spielman:

but most where it felt very volatile. And I think confusing

Maureen Spielman:

was my teenage years. So I my mind would go back and revisit

Maureen Spielman:

that all the time trying to figure it out. And this today, I

Maureen Spielman:

wasn't going to I do have some things to say about it in a bit.

Maureen Spielman:

But today was just really this premise of like, what does it

Maureen Spielman:

take to develop inner trust? So we're taking a look, we're

Maureen Spielman:

dialing up the awareness of where we're judgmental, and

Maureen Spielman:

where shame sneaks in. Often we're tipped off because we use

Maureen Spielman:

disparaging language. And that might even be, you know, your

Maureen Spielman:

body's not good enough, you're not smart enough. Why did you do

Maureen Spielman:

that? You're a bad parent, I don't know how it shows up in

Maureen Spielman:

your mind, we all have our voices. So that really creates

Maureen Spielman:

an unsafe internal environment, you can imagine if it were on

Maureen Spielman:

the outside, it would feel unsafe, and you're not going to

Maureen Spielman:

trust. So becoming aware of how you speak to yourself. It's

Maureen Spielman:

going to allow you to then make other choices, and trying to

Maureen Spielman:

think of what I'm saying their awareness is the beginning. If

Maureen Spielman:

you've been doing this work, the reminders are always good, don't

Maureen Spielman:

you think I remind myself every day. So building an inner trust

Maureen Spielman:

is a process and one that unfolds at the pace that is

Maureen Spielman:

right for you. At each moment, I'm reminding you that you're

Maureen Spielman:

supported in this universe, and you're being guided on the

Maureen Spielman:

outside and the inside. I'm hoping that today's podcast is

Maureen Spielman:

giving you some guidance from an external voice. And I want to

Maureen Spielman:

say something about the community at the end. But

Maureen Spielman:

surrounding ourselves. With conversations like this are what

Maureen Spielman:

leads us to developing the inner trust the inner safety, the

Maureen Spielman:

inner intimacy. I've benefited greatly from both being in

Maureen Spielman:

conversation with family who are interested in this conversation

Maureen Spielman:

with my coaching colleagues and friends and community through

Maureen Spielman:

social care coaching and different communities I've been

Maureen Spielman:

in. So I believe that immersing ourselves in these ideas is one

Maureen Spielman:

of the biggest things we can do. And that's really why I created

Maureen Spielman:

the mystical sisterhood membership. And that's always on

Maureen Spielman:

my website. I'll refer to it at the end. But that's I think what

Maureen Spielman:

I found for myself is the immersion in community has

Maureen Spielman:

allowed me to experience more internal freedom. And so I want

Maureen Spielman:

to bring that to the world. I want to ask you a question.

Maureen Spielman:

Okay, what has spoken to you so far? And what do you need from

Maureen Spielman:

yourself consistently.

Maureen Spielman:

Ask these kind of slowly. Where have you neglected yourself?

Maureen Spielman:

Possibly trusting someone else on the outside more than

Maureen Spielman:

yourself? What ways have you been hard on yourself? For what

Maureen Spielman:

has happened in the past? what ways are you hard on yourself?

Maureen Spielman:

For what you haven't figured out in the present? That's a big

Maureen Spielman:

one. We're often really hard on ourselves for what we haven't

Maureen Spielman:

figured out yet. Especially as a woman at midlife, we've lived

Maureen Spielman:

many years, and we've lived many experiences. And we can still be

Maureen Spielman:

trying to mentally in our ego, be figuring out things. And I'm

Maureen Spielman:

telling you, this process of bringing you into your heart for

Maureen Spielman:

developing the inner trust is a key to get us away from the ego

Maureen Spielman:

mind and into our heart space. I know that if you're listening

Maureen Spielman:

today, you are on a journey of moving from an outer world folk

Maureen Spielman:

focus to an inner world focus, you would not be here if you

Maureen Spielman:

weren't. And that's what I always love to I want to hear

Maureen Spielman:

about your journey. I think it's fascinating. So when the outer

Maureen Spielman:

world beckons, when you want to know the answer, know that

Maureen Spielman:

creating space in your day, let's call it space, let's not

Maureen Spielman:

call it time, because many of us have a scarcity relationship

Maureen Spielman:

with time, and I get that completely. So let's create

Maureen Spielman:

space in your day. It's one of the most precious things you can

Maureen Spielman:

do to foster inner growth. And if we call it space, it has a

Maureen Spielman:

bigger energy to it right? Time does too. But we've been so

Maureen Spielman:

cultured by time, we haven't been as and cultured by space

Maureen Spielman:

being scarce. Maybe if you've got little kids, and they're all

Maureen Spielman:

around you absolutely. Or you have a crowded home, or you're

Maureen Spielman:

taking care of and taking care of an elderly parent, those can

Maureen Spielman:

also create constraints on spaciousness, but let's think of

Maureen Spielman:

creating space in your days. And it may seem like what does this

Maureen Spielman:

space look like it can be physical space, it can be a

Maureen Spielman:

spiritual space for you. And it can be this emotional space. I

Maureen Spielman:

think it's sometimes can sound cliche, when somebody says, Oh,

Maureen Spielman:

you just need to journal more, or you just need to meditate

Maureen Spielman:

more. But to me, it doesn't matter what is being called in

Maureen Spielman:

or what's being offered to you. Doesn't matter the form. But

Maureen Spielman:

it's that you take intentional time for yourself, by a time a

Maureen Spielman:

spacious time, on a daily basis, if possible. For me, and a dear

Maureen Spielman:

friend said this the other day that it doesn't look the same

Maureen Spielman:

for her everyday either someone that I love and respect so much.

Maureen Spielman:

But for me, it doesn't look the same. But I do believe some of

Maureen Spielman:

the following practices allow us to get to this. I don't know

Maureen Spielman:

like designated intentional space. And also holding this

Maureen Spielman:

intention of I intend to create, to develop to foster to nurture

Maureen Spielman:

to nourish my own inner knowing and trust. So daily practices

Maureen Spielman:

lie, lighting candles, sitting with a journal, asking your

Maureen Spielman:

guides what they're here to tell you are asking what I need to

Maureen Spielman:

know, meditating, there are so many different meditations. They

Maureen Spielman:

can be from insight time, or from calm they can be from also

Maureen Spielman:

listening to anything inspirational. Because I find

Maureen Spielman:

that when I listen to inspirational or I read books

Maureen Spielman:

that are inspirational, they get me into my vibration, which

Maureen Spielman:

allows me to connect with my true self. I also take a look at

Maureen Spielman:

throughout my day, when I can, I'm no saint, believe me. But

Maureen Spielman:

when I find myself using language that is focused on

Maureen Spielman:

disconnected or disconnecting, versus connecting with myself, I

Maureen Spielman:

witnessed myself and choose to replace these thoughts and words

Maureen Spielman:

with compassion and understanding. It can be any

Maureen Spielman:

number of phrases. So things like and these just soften.

Maureen Spielman:

These allow us to soften into ourselves. When we have an

Maureen Spielman:

experience that doesn't feel good coming to ourselves. It's

Maureen Spielman:

so understandable that you experienced that that way, or

Maureen Spielman:

that you feel this way. I see you. So this is inner dialogue.

Maureen Spielman:

I see you for what you were experiencing. I want to connect

Maureen Spielman:

with you. And just any sort of bridges inward of connection. We

Maureen Spielman:

don't want the words that that disconnect that. And so when we

Maureen Spielman:

say like I'm interested in my own experience. I'm curious

Maureen Spielman:

about it. I want to know. Again, it harks back to this isn't an

Maureen Spielman:

inner child podcast today. But it harks back to oh, what I

Maureen Spielman:

wished I would have heard as a kid. But I can also give that to

Maureen Spielman:

myself, I can give that to my loved ones, I can give it to my

Maureen Spielman:

adult children. So I want to do another podcast on inner child

Maureen Spielman:

because it's so fascinating. But the inner child involves going

Maureen Spielman:

back to yourself, if you don't know what I'm talking about, to

Maureen Spielman:

a younger version, and giving the law of care attending to and

Maureen Spielman:

re parenting that is being called for. So in short, in

Maureen Spielman:

developing this inner trust, you will begin to depend on yourself

Maureen Spielman:

for when you develop this safety, intimacy, you'll be

Maureen Spielman:

giving yourself more permission to do things in your life, to

Maureen Spielman:

show up for what is true for you in the way that feels true for

Maureen Spielman:

you. So, permission comes from you, first and foremost in your

Maureen Spielman:

adult life, not from others. I think the process of intending

Maureen Spielman:

to develop inner Trust and Safety and intimacy allows us to

Maureen Spielman:

really slow down our life and begin taking pause more. And we

Maureen Spielman:

can rely on ourselves for amazing guidance, and the

Maureen Spielman:

cornerstone of it all for unwavering self compassion. And

Maureen Spielman:

if you can't find that, from yourself, turn to those you know

Maureen Spielman:

who can give it to you. You don't need someone giving you

Maureen Spielman:

the answers. I mean, that's not to say that it's not well

Maureen Spielman:

meaning, but it's within you. This whole podcast is just about

Maureen Spielman:

it's within you. Bring in your trusted sources. It's that that

Maureen Spielman:

dance between the two, I believe transformation for you, is going

Maureen Spielman:

to happen before your eyes. I know that for so many of you it

Maureen Spielman:

already is. You will find yourself saying I used to choose

Maureen Spielman:

this way of doing or being. And now I choose this way. I'm

Maureen Spielman:

mystified by the changes in myself and those around me with

Maureen Spielman:

commitment, care and compassion, inner growth will flourish and

Maureen Spielman:

take on a quality of abundance and again spaciousness. It is

Maureen Spielman:

your time to experience this relationship where you can feel

Maureen Spielman:

safe within where you wholeheartedly trust yourself,

Maureen Spielman:

and just enjoy a beautiful inner experience. I'm personally on a

Maureen Spielman:

journey of leaning into my truths, what my soul needs to

Maureen Spielman:

learn. It's your birthright. It's my birthright. It's our

Maureen Spielman:

birthright. So will you either begin, or continue to commit to

Maureen Spielman:

your own personal growth. carving out time for yourself is

Maureen Spielman:

a daily practice. We didn't talk about it in these ways. But

Maureen Spielman:

practice present moment awareness. You become calibrated

Maureen Spielman:

to your energetic vibration, and begin to know what you feel like

Maureen Spielman:

inside. Get to know when things don't feel right. And when

Maureen Spielman:

things are not yours. Practice coming back to the time that you

Maureen Spielman:

set aside for yourself for spaciousness, and choose what

Maureen Spielman:

speaks to you. Are you ready to develop an inner space and

Maureen Spielman:

consciousness of safety and non judgement and continue to lean

Maureen Spielman:

on trusted people? And what they reflect back to you. Take your

Maureen Spielman:

time with the outer advice and input and know that these

Maureen Spielman:

answers lie within you. You are on a quest alongside me to know

Maureen Spielman:

and to really be your true authentic self. And I'm so

Maureen Spielman:

honored again to be traveling alongside you.

Maureen Spielman:

You know that I'm passionate about what I do. I'm passionate

Maureen Spielman:

about every topic that's been brought into this podcast. I do

Maureen Spielman:

struggle a little bit when I choose what to talk about in my

Maureen Spielman:

solo episodes. And I think I probably needed this one today

Maureen Spielman:

to to keep on leaning in. But I wanted to say because soul care

Maureen Spielman:

coaching and my mystical sisterhood, podcast and

Maureen Spielman:

membership are so near and dear to my heart and I know that they

Maureen Spielman:

are here for you if you if you want to lean on them at all.

Maureen Spielman:

There are three ways to get involved in the work and work

Maureen Spielman:

with me, you can schedule just a one off 60 minute session for

Maureen Spielman:

you to get an experience of what this work feels like. In this

Maureen Spielman:

brief session, you can learn about intention setting,

Maureen Spielman:

setting, share what is most relevant in your life, discover

Maureen Spielman:

what is calling to be tended to uncover limiting beliefs

Maureen Spielman:

operating below the surface, and walk away with a few tangible

Maureen Spielman:

action items or new things to ponder in your life. I mostly

Maureen Spielman:

love to work in the second way, which is a 12 week coaching

Maureen Spielman:

container in which we do a deep dive into this work, whether

Maureen Spielman:

it's how do I even come to myself? What is coming up for me

Maureen Spielman:

through my emotions? What am I here to learn? What's most

Maureen Spielman:

important? How am I showing up but mainly, how am I showing up

Maureen Spielman:

for myself. So you begin to learn the principles of soul

Maureen Spielman:

care into your life. Learn how to meet yourself with compassion

Maureen Spielman:

more regularly, and grow a practice of developing a deep

Maureen Spielman:

and authentic and connected relationship with yourself. And

Maureen Spielman:

another one of my favorite offerings is the mystical

Maureen Spielman:

sisterhood community, or membership. And this is for

Maureen Spielman:

either those doing coaching and wanting to experience community.

Maureen Spielman:

Or it could be that you're not ready for coaching and want to

Maureen Spielman:

experience community. And then these principles, I have members

Maureen Spielman:

of the group who say like I just want to immerse myself in this

Maureen Spielman:

language and start to learn not only this, these personal

Maureen Spielman:

growth, ideas and new conversation and new language,

Maureen Spielman:

but also these principles of the universe. And I that's the part

Maureen Spielman:

of the mystical that we sometimes pull into the podcast

Maureen Spielman:

is like, how is the universe holding us? How are these things

Maureen Spielman:

for me, and it's all woven together. But in the membership,

Maureen Spielman:

it's a lot of fun, because we're doing live calls every week,

Maureen Spielman:

there's a community feed with inspiration. There's inspiration

Maureen Spielman:

from me as your guide, but also from your fellow members who are

Maureen Spielman:

on the path of seeking. So that's a little bit about the

Maureen Spielman:

membership. And I do believe that healing happens in

Maureen Spielman:

community. Being in community of seekers on a path, just

Maureen Spielman:

reminding us of practices and principles is invaluable. So a

Maureen Spielman:

few ways to get in touch are to follow me on Instagram at
