Transcription
Nicola: [00:00:00] hello and welcome
to the female leaders on fire podcast. And we are on episode number 20 today. So we’re into our double figures, which is very, very exciting. And today I’m super excited because we have a brilliant guest. So. Diana Ademco and Diana I’ve known for a few years, and I love what she teaches and coaches.
And she described herself as a quantum field healer, William. Better meaning success and transformation coach. And she’s a divine feminine guide and she’s NLP and hypnosis trainer and practitioner. She’s created something that I love that I really should get into more daily moon journals, which is really about a guided journal for self-connection practice for women.
So what are we going to be talking to you today about is really, I’m going to be chatting about how women at the top can embrace their cycle so [00:01:00] that natural rhythm that we all have as well. We might talk a little bit about the moon as well, but also as part of it, how women at the very top they’re really senior.
So it’s very much led by logic and reason and data and numbers, and very much had. So how can we help you today? Our intention today is how it used to be a little bit more intuitive, a little bit more trusting of those what’s right for you and your feelings and where things are guiding you and almost.
Embrace more of that kind of spiritual that more, what I would call where we side and bring together the power, not only that logic and reasoning, and kind of had lad, but also very Heartland and what’s going on for you and what you just intuitively know that is right. So welcome. Diana. I’m super excited that you’re here today.
Diana: Thank you very much for that introduction. And thank you very much for having me on the show. I’m really excited to talk about this and really excited to explore and support women at the top, uh, of how to get into, shall I say that our soft power, right? Because I think that’s the word that goes [00:02:00] around and I can very much relate to actually all of those things that you said, because I’m a really.
Can we use this term of masculine and feminine? Like
Nicola: yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
Diana: I’m very much into my masculinity. I love the doing, I love the action and I’m very practical. Yeah. Deadlines motivate me. Um, you know, I, I love, I love it. I love just jumping in and get it done and organize things. And I’m really good at all of these.
And, and that’s really good to have because that’s actually a part of a woman becoming of their own rights when we. And let’s get into a little bit of that blue stuff, because I really needed to transition from, from that very much of doing, because I was doing all the time. I never stopped because it was my natural element.
I love starting things from scratch and [00:03:00] creating it. Then you know that I got a real buzz. I got a real buzz out of just, just making things happen, but then you never stopped enjoying. Of what you create. You never stop just to look at what you have created and what you have gone through when have capable and amazing you are.
That’s the other side of it. And I think when you were in a job and when I was in. I was, uh, I worked in, uh, in education, working with small children, which is a very much, it seems like a very female oriented, a job. Right. Very feminine. But actually in that setting where you are working for the council and you’ve got so many rules and regulations around you.
What I have really learned is that I was in a caring profession, but I was not allowed to care about myself, but it was not okay for me to [00:04:00] take time off. It was not okay for me to be weak. It was not okay for me to just acknowledge my own needs. And I just had to give myself always for others, which was okay because I wanted to do that.
But there were moments when it was. It didn’t work. And that was one of the reason why I left hindsight. I found it out because when I left, I started to go to networking events where there were so many men and, and all of a sudden what happened to me is I realized that now I can be a woman because there is a man.
Modeling or being that part. And I don’t have to be that strong. I don’t have to relentlessly move. I can be more feminine. And this is how this journey started for me. Like recognizing. My need to be a bit more feminine.
Nicola: I love that. I love that. And you’ve almost [00:05:00] done your own introduction, but can you give us just a, I think you’ve done elements of it anyway, and I resonate so much with that.
I’m, I’m a lifelong Dewar. I’m a, I’m a recovering over giver. You know, doing mode has been my go-to for so long. It’s my, it was my safe comfort zone, but it led to burnout. It led to emergency surgery. It led to recovery from that. Let me to changing my entire business on, I have a new level of appreciation for that slower, that more feminine energy in that trust and that intuition.
And, and just to be clear, before we go back to your story, like feminine energy, isn’t about sitting there waiting for things to happen and be impassive. Yeah. That’s not what it’s about or it’s about inspired action and the smallest steps and balancing that with time view and balancing that with the space to be creative, that leaders need to be the space to think of the strategy, or just to let ideas come to you rather than like pushing them out of yourself when it’s just doesn’t work like that.
So, Diana. [00:06:00] Just a little bit about how you got into doing all the amazing work that you do now.
Diana: Well, this, okay. This part of the story that I mentioned, that was one of it. And then I think it was for quite a long time, from 2012, I was just an NLP and hypnosis transformational coach. And it was all about the mindset and how we think and how we move forward and get rid of limiting beliefs.
Then nothing is in. And then after my daughter was born, it’s like, you know, you can’t just go back to work. You can’t just go back to your old normal. And when she was about 15 months old in 2016, I just felt like I, I don’t know what to do because I don’t know where to put her. Just for me to get home, but I don’t want to put her anywhere.
I want her to be with me. And that was the moment when you kind of like, I don’t know what to do. And I was really in that space of stuckness and I saw a post on Facebook about that [00:07:00] it’s full moon and do a fun one ritual, which was consisting of making a list of all the things you want to let go of.
Creating space for what you want to bring in. And I thought, right, I’ll do this. I haven’t done that much. Whew. Before, and I did this, I went outside into my garden. I took a list with me. Lots of things were on it, anything that was just coming up for me in my mind. Like, you know, some of them probably didn’t even make sense, but I was outside in the dark and that October under the moon, And it wasn’t cloudy in Scotland in that night.
So I actually see it. And I did, I did that ritual, like, like murmured those words, and I looked at the moon and then I burned the list and I went inside and that was it. I felt okay, I’ve done this. But next day I woke up and all of a sudden I felt a lightness that I haven’t before. [00:08:00] Or I haven’t been, I haven’t been able to feel for a long time and I feel like, okay, I’m going to do this again.
This works, this moon stuff. I’m going to do this again. And then I started researching. Full moon and new award and vaccine morning, Wednesday morning. And then it started to make a system, right. Which I love, I loved it logical because it needs to come together that muscular inside the organization, the system, the structure, and then it needs to come that feminine that you were talking about as well.
When you systemize, you make space for yourself or your thoughts for your creativity. And I realized that actually the moon cycles the phases, but then make a system and it gives. I assist them to move along with, but that system was more allowing that a strategy than a deadline then the calendar. And I know that when you [00:09:00] are working at a job and in a corporate world, when working with lots of managing lots of people as well, You feel like how could you make space for yourself?
Because you have to keep the, the deadlines you have to manage everybody’s needs and, and jobs. But what I have learned from following the moon is really. Subtly, you start to notice yourself in that system of the moon. You start to notice your own needs little by little, and then you start to find a little ways of how you can slot those needs into.
The into that rhythm that you also have to manage and in the daily life where you work, and this is how I started because I already had the business by then, but I needed to find space for myself, with my daughter. I needed to find a way to kind of detach myself from her because you, I became [00:10:00] just a service to her, right.
To a child. And there’s nothing wrong with that. And I love that. But then. I think the same way as you can kind of disappear into your work identity or your business identity, you disappear into your mother identity or how you serve others. And then I was given a system where I could break out of it slowly.
Yeah. Because new moon is about sitting. Being intuitive and thinking and dreaming and envisioning. And every time a lead, you know, we are all leaders in one way or other. We need to do that. We cannot move forward unless we keep imagining what could be and how clappy and new moon is all about that.
Taking the time and sometimes you just need an hour. Sometimes you need a day. Sometimes you didn’t a week. It’s not about following them on in real time, [00:11:00] but giving you assist them, that is allowing you to think differently within that restrict the structure. Sometimes that life can be,
Nicola: yeah, I absolutely love that.
I got goosebumps when he was saying. It’s giving you a system to have almost like self-awareness and what you need when you need it. Because actually a lot, a lot of the episodes so far been talking about overwhelm or over-giving, or your negative inner critic, and actually a lot of supporting yourself with that as a, a woman at the top has been about your self-awareness and your emotional intelligence, right?
W what’s your hierarchy of needs. Like, if you want to go for Maslow, if you want to, but what’s your equivalent. What’s your, I’m all for I’m at my absolute worst. If I’m really hungry, I’m really tired. I’m I’m the epitome of angry. Like I am horrible. I am not nice to be around. My partner knows. Well enough.
Now that he’ll ask me, do you need a hug? Do you need some food or do you need a nap or do you need all three of them? Start with a hug, [00:12:00] then we’ll get you some food and then you can go for an hour. And then my world is brighter gag, but it’s, it’s that self-awareness. And like you said, so beautifully kind of DISA almost women at the top disappearing into their work because they lose that sense of their needs.
So if we were to think about the cycle and women embracing their cycle women at the top, embracing their cycle, where could they start? With that process, because if I think about the sort of women that might be listened to this, they might feel like actually, I’m, I’m quite, I’m logical, I’m quite a headlight.
I kind of see stats and numbers and patterns. I’m a problem solver and a fixer. And you know, I think who am I? I’m sorry, my unicorn shell. And I think about my journey to the more we, we, it was it’s, it’s been more listening, allowing. Embracing what I need when I need it. Hasn’t been about necessarily all about, there is an element of the, you know, the universe and the magic and the unicorns and rainbows and all of that.
And I, I do pick up feathers and just think, oh, well, you know, what are the [00:13:00] guides telling me are actually going in the right direction? But it didn’t start with that. For me, it started with listening to my own needs more so, and understanding my cycle. So if women are at the moment feeling quite logical, where could they start to embrace their cycle more to kind of.
In that leadership position.
Diana: Well, first of all, then I would say, take away the word. Because listening to ourselves and honoring our own needs is not actually moved, but we, we have become conditioned to have this perception because we have been pushed through, you know, we, we are born into this world that is moving by deadlines and calendar months, and Monday to Friday and weekend is your time to relax.
And, and we have been living in this world where everything is very much structured for. And then we, we don’t even think that, is it my structure or is it given to me? And if I say the word. Routine and habits [00:14:00] and rhythm. We all understand that, right? Even if you are in a logical place and that’s what it is, that’s how you start to connect with your own cycles is that you look at your routine, you look at your rhythm, you look at the rhythm of your job.
You look at the rhythm of yourself. Uh, because cycle is nothing as a rhythm. And when I was in my twenties and thirties, I’m 48. Now we know nothing about cycles or on my body. And this is something that we are starting to discover. Recently, there has been a petition created for menopause. This is a time when everybody on the corporate level is as well waking up that this needs to bring into the workplace.
And no matter what age you are, no matter where you are on your cycle journey, whether is it active menstrual cycle. [00:15:00] So you’re bleeding every month. No matter whether you are perimenopausal and very monopole starts as early as 34 in our body, even without any visible signs or menopausal or post-menopausal no matter whether you still have a room in your body or health issues coming up with.
Cyclical nature, because we have this freedom somehow in the female body, in us, in, uh, on a cellular level. I have experienced this with many women as I work. We feel it somehow we feel that rhythm through anything. And it’s just start there that it is science. It’s biology. It is in your body. You cannot escape from it.
So you might as well observe it. It’s available to you. You know, that’s a good starting point to get curious about the workings of your female, because we haven’t been observing the female body. In [00:16:00] science, it’s also very men led, you know, meal that when, when universities were created, it was the priests who were teaching.
So everything from male perspective, uh, when there’s a medical research being created, they, they liked choosing male participants because women are. Uh, consistent because we are cyclical. So everything in a science and biology in medical ways based on pretty much observing male health. So we need to come to this point where we say we observe our female body and we get to know ourselves.
Nicola: Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I love that. I was, I owed it a bit that I must remember the name of, I will find it and put it in the show notes, but it was exactly that it was almost how, and again, when I talk about when I sound like a feminist or when I T is, this is not about burn the patriarch, this is more a state of the nation and where we are in the world and [00:17:00] it’s not criticizing, man.
It’s not blaming. Then it’s not about that. It’s just, actually, this is where we are. And it was saying that sometimes women have more reactions when drugs are released because women haven’t been used as much in the testing. And it was just really impactful to think it goes to that sort of level of the world is almost seen from that male perspective.
So I think the corporate world, the corporate world is heart. It’s still a man’s world. So women within the corporate world, not only have the structural societal and the kind of the subconscious bias and all those challenges that go with it, the male led structure, but designed by men and led by men, but they also have to getting past.
For their own in a, in a negative voice, their own body, their own, their own challenges with confidence and what they want from their lives. And those two together just make, make it incredibly difficult for women and women that have got to the top have got there because they work damn hard to get that.
And I love what you [00:18:00] say. And there’s a little exercise that I get clients to do. So many of my clients come to me at the point where they’re really overwhelmed. There might be a bit of a crossroads. They might be at a point where something’s really hit home. It might might as happen with their health.
They might have been feeling like they’ve got no choice, but to resign. So at they’re at a crossroads, one thing we start to talk about is let yourself feel all your feelings because women in the corporate world, I know for me, I was, I was told that you’re over your over-reactive. It’s just too much, you know, sit in a meeting and cry, but it’s like, but that’s what you get.
If you want my passion, you will say that’s my energy. That’s I, I don’t know where to go and where to, how to hide that. But I learned over time to put that away and to not show. And I think just with helping women initially to sip a super simple thing just the morning, I love, um, Julia Cameron’s morning pages.
So just a blank sheet in your journal. And even if you don’t have time to journal, if you just think about it on the way, and I’ll note that we go into it, but you know, before you start [00:19:00] your work day, maybe when you’re in the shower, how do I feel today? Well, it’s going on for me today. Where do I feel it?
What do I need today? And it doesn’t need to start with something so huge that you’re kind of out your comfort zone and it feels terrifying. You could just start with, are you tired? Do you need a nap at some point? Are you really energized? So actually it’d be a great day to work on that big project that you’ve not had time for, and actually comes with some other things that you don’t need to be in.
And being mindful of that, your energy and your body. And I know for me having had surgery and coming out the other side and then into burn out and now. Facing some health challenges. I can’t not listen to my body and women at the top. They’re the, you know, each one of us we’re the golden goose as Denise Duffield-Thomas would call us.
So if we’re not looking after ourselves, there is there isn’t that vision dies with you or that, you know, treading a new path stops with you or being that role model to the younger generation and females coming up for the business. That stops if [00:20:00] you stop. Absolutely. I’m another woman that’s almost given so much.
He’s burned herself out. So women and women at top and start listening to how they’re feeling and what’s going on in their body. What, how can they then build on that? And how can it help that with that?
Diana: There’s so many amazing things that you have to set there. And I, I agree with all of them and for me, where would you, so you start to observe yourself, right?
Because at the end of the day, when you close the door on your office and everything is finished, and then you thinking, okay, how did today go? What’s what have I done? And how everything is, you have to ground back to yourself. So. As you said that you have a practice. And I think that’s the most important thing, because once you acknowledge that you as a woman, So then we on body and there’s nothing you can do about it because you have that female body start to [00:21:00] connect with your body.
There’s a self-connection practice that I suggest. And that’s what the daily moon journal is about. That you mentioned that the beginning is based on that cyclical nature that we have and the hormones that we cannot avoid, because they will decide our hormones are going to decide how we feel every day.
What is our physical energy level? What is our productivity and creativity level every day? And it’s important to check on in those markers and, and nowhere we are not, because then this is what’s going to decide what’s going to happen. But if I know how I feel, then I know how I can respond. And I was just doing a four day feminine energy experience, which was all about experiencing feminine energy in a different way, not just about self care, but understanding that we have the power to create.
Definitely. That’s the thing that separating yourself from everything else. So the staff going to show up there’s something about, is [00:22:00] checking in with does markers, your physical energy level. So scan your body up and down with your mind’s eye. Um, go a bit, we’ll worry about it. And, and just feeling to what is my energy level today.
Uh, what is my, my mind is so like I got this question image level today is, and I scan my body and I come up with an answer of what it feels my mind is. And I kind of bring my attention to my head space. And then I bring up a descriptive words. My emotion is, and I bring my. Attention Danny to my daily Mack is all feelings live in your gut.
That’s all feelings. I’ve got feelings. And then just have these markers. And then once you have these markers that you know that this is you, this is not about what is going on at. This is not about the people at work. This is not about the people in your life. This is not about any of your circumstances.
This is how you feel. And then when you know that you can ground [00:23:00] it yourself. And today I feel, you know, my physical energy level today is actually tired. My emotions are tired. My mental focus is tired, but I know it’s me. And then I know what I need to give myself to be able to respond. Responsibility ability to respond to all the things in my life and the, to all the things I’ve worked.
And that’s just this one thing that if I connect with myself every morning, have a snapshot of where I am or my cyclical nature, because it always moves just like the more and never stops, nothing ever stops. Then I know what could I do for myself, maybe? You know, I could just make a green juice in the morning and have that with my coffee.
If you cannot let go of the coffee or just to go into work and schedule a five minute for myself just to do something for myself whilst I am in between meetings [00:24:00] and find a way to, once you observed yourself and find something out about yourself to meet those needs, to be able to respond to. To everything else that you need.
Yeah.
Nicola: Does that answer your question? I love that. Oh my God. So you called it respond
Diana: because responsibility. So you bought the ability ability to, I love that,
Nicola: but I so very similarly, I, I remind clients as well. So my language would be you’re a different person every day, depending on your energy, depending on your stress pending where you are and your cycle, depending on what’s happened at work, what’s going on at home, how much, yeah, how much is in your stress bucket and all sorts.
So we can’t really assume that we’re going to be a certain way on a certain day, because that’s not how we work and that’s as humans, but especially as women. So it’s that, that daily check-in and I love that scanning and sensing in your [00:25:00] body. It just almost, yeah. It gives you that responsibility. So I know to say I’m a bit tired, so I might not be as quick with thinking.
So it’s probably not the best day to do a big strategy bit of work, but actually it might be a good day to clear and organize my emails or book. Get my assistant to book in all those meetings. I’d be meaning. We talked about it when I talked to McKayla earlier for another podcast episode, but almost match your energy to what you’re doing.
So I’m a morning person, my fiances, and even so as I’m going to bed, he’s then getting a second burst of energy and I’m like, oh my God, that’s just weird. Like I had mine at six o’clock this morning when he was snoring next to me.
Diana: And
Nicola: you were having that now? Eight o’clock at night. When all I can think about is my bed is just cooling to me.
Um, and I think it’s that brilliant. Self-awareness isn’t it. I would call it like flexible to sermon of give yourself what you need when you need it. So to build on that, all those brilliant tips, you’ve just given us as well. I I’m super [00:26:00] passionate about helping my clients as well to really start to trust their intuition.
And that’s obviously in a corporate context. It’s very headlamp it’s understood as data and numbers and, you know, demonstrating and proving that your reasoning, whereas intuitions of see light, I just know it’s just my gut instinct is my it’s what my heart’s telling me that I feel is right. And that builds through activities and builds for experience.
But how do you think women can use some of these brilliant things we’ve already talked about to really. Use that as intuition when they’re leading at the very top
Diana: of the ladder, I think, um, everything has good masculine and feminine aspects, right? Everything. And every body on this planet, because everything has a feminine and masculine side and.
If you, for example, intuition becomes something that is not measurable. Obviously they say nobody has ever measured it. So we don’t know if it’s measurable or not. First of all, but that’s another conversation [00:27:00] reframe it. So it’s intuition, it’s also creativity, imagination. And. Even in a corporate world, there are, uh, authors, there are books that are talking about business, talking about leadership, talking about creating something big, like in our mosque, they, these big leaders, these big people who are creating amazing things, they are not always going with the numbers, the numbers, and the logic is there to support.
But if I have. An inkling. If I have a creative moment, if I have, if I can envision an imagine something. So it’s kind of like a vision in time, right? Because we cannot, we cannot move forward in a company, uh, and, and lead them if you just go by the numbers. And if it’s something like I would say that you have to create a precedence, like a list of precedents where you know that [00:28:00] you will.
To make a decision that didn’t actually have the numbers before, but once you did it and actually created the big success and prove it to yourself, first of all, I think that’s the important part for a leader that you prove it to yourself, that you can go with those intuitions. You can go with those creative moments because they bring something amazing.
And if you trust yourself, Trust your judgment, your creativity, trust that you can come up with an idea or call it problem solving. You can come up with a solution out of the blue. If you have evidence for yourself, then you will be able to confidently present. For the rest of the team, for example. And I think when you can stand in that power that you know, that it is, is that you want to go forward.
When you are standing in that personal power, you are more able to, and trust yourself. You’re [00:29:00] more able to. I have the courage to go with the intuition, because I think that’s, that always happens. And it’s just whether you, as a person, have the confidence in yourself to actually rely on that decision. And I think that that’s, that’s the part that, uh, one’s needs to build on it, your own belief and your own
Nicola: power.
Right. And if I think about that, You know, we’ve talking about being a bit more spiritual today. And if I think about, even from a neuroscience point of view, if you’re creating that evidence, evidence is a huge part of helping you to change your beliefs because you see what is possible. You start to reinforce that and then you, it just grows from there.
And it really gains momentum. So confidence is really the reinforcement and the evidence of the thing that you were feeling doubtful about. And if you could build the evidence and keep building. And I know my clients that are maybe a bit further on in their careers. I’ve actually gained almost the permission from people around them to use our [00:30:00] intuition and to, because they know the business inside out, they know the people, they know how things work and they just, they’re encouraged to share that.
What might seem like actually, this is just, this might just, my reaction is my senses and it’s okay to share that. But like, I love what you said about building that evidence behind. So I could talk to you all day, but we’ve just got to run out of time a little bit, but what is out of all the brilliant things we’ve talked about, what is the big message that you would love to sleep with?
My audience? Just the women at the top that maybe be more, a bit more headlight, a bit more logical. How can we help them to really embrace that more spiritual and cyclical side?
Diana: I think the important part to know is that, you know, there’s a sentence in NLP when you are doing certain exercises that you are always more than you think you are.
And thinking is very that logic thing. And we are, and we [00:31:00] always know this about ourselves, that we are always more than we think we are. And this is why as a woman. Uh, you go to that top where you are, because you can always be more than you think you are. If you are always just staying where you, what you think you can be, you can have, then you would never be at that top.
You have never achieved that. It’s always good to go back and observe your journey and see those pivotal moments. And those pivotal moments are never going to be about logic that took you to the next step. That will be something that was about your heart, was about your passion, was about listening to your intuition.
That didn’t make sense. And I think it’s just look through your journey. They have to appreciate those moments and they have to appreciate yourself
rather than the linear [00:32:00] achievement, the measurable growth. And, and then all of a sudden you’re going to realize that, you know, like you are at the magical place because you have created something amazing through your life.
Nicola: Oh, my gosh. I love that. Absolutely love that. So just to finish off with just three quick fire questions.
So this last one is, can you just share with us a leader who’s really inspired, you
Diana: really inspired, but you know, that’s hard in a sense that define leader first that I’m going to say something. Yeah. I’m actually surprising myself to say this because. My relationship with my mother is not that type of relationship that we are like so close and everything.
Like we are challenged and everything, but somehow at this moment in time in my life, I feel like she is because we have so much resistance usually to our [00:33:00] parents, our mother, and we don’t want to become our mother and we want to do it differently. So many things that has happened to me in a recent times, I actually realized that, you know, we’re not just taking over the wounds that we got from our mother, or we got from the generation before us or the leaders before us.
We’re not just taking the wounds from, as you said, a patriarchy and all of those things, but actually. It taking so many gifts. And I think when you are tying yourself to extract from the hurts from the challenges, when you allow yourself to see yeah, that spiritual, emotional connection and the spiritual gifts, really, but this is what we’re talking about of.
How do you become [00:34:00] who you have become through your mother and grandmother and your great-grandmother then? Yeah, I wanna, I wanna add, or our own female lineage. Or my own female in age of what led us here because yeah, we still feel like we struggling to become leaders as women, but actually we have achieved a lot and, or my mother in visible.
Nicola: I love that. Yeah. Really, really resonates with me. Absolutely. Can you share with us a book that has changed your life?
Diana: So when you, again, I actually did a blog with 13 grade books for the divine feminine, which is available on CBS.
Nicola: Oh, we, we have links to that and we can show notes then let’s do that. Let me, let
Diana: me pick one from that list.
Okay. I’m going to say really we’ll move on. But also it’s quite an academic book. It’s [00:35:00] called the women who run with the wolves and it’s written by an amazing scholar, Clarissa Pinkola estate. And. It is an amazing book because it allows us to go into stories, fairytales, and she leads us through these fairytales, through the archetypes.
So what they really mean, so we can actually discover that, you know, the prince charming is not so bad, like the Disney movies or some, some part of feminine. They made us believe that we must afraid of love and, and find the love of our lives. And it takes us back into, into those stories, the handless maiden, and so many others that helps us to discover our intuition and discover our power as a woman in a way that.
Even if you are [00:36:00] very logical, you can understand because it’s written by this color and she really picks it apart. And she really, uh, showing it to you that actually intuition and all of the different kinds of feminine powers, like self love, unconditional love. Self-awareness the. Woven through the myth of humanity and yeah, it just brings you back into an enormous bring yourself as a
Nicola: woman.
Oh, I love it. Oh, got goosebumps. That just sounds incredible. What we do. We get the link to your blog and we’ll shout as well. So just make it easy. And the final question, what just find your fire mean to you?
Diana: Well, I think. We haven’t been talking about, especially finding our own rhythm, finding ways back to ourselves, connecting with our own rhythm.
Um, the female body definitely brought my fire back from, from a [00:37:00] real low and stuckness in 2016. And ever since that keeps me going. So definitely find, find that rhythm within us find that cycle, find that woo part, find that part that seems movable, but actually understanding that we are more.
