Our part 1 conversation with Jada Dobesh was SO good, we are back with part 2 so you can soak up more of the incredible wisdom she has to share!
In case you did miss our part 1 episode (go and check that one out ASAP), Jada is a Spiritual Healing Facilitator and the creator of Selah Space, a holistic wellness co-op where she gives her clients the space and practices to heal their spirituality, sexuality and self-worth. She loves sharing about the wisdom of the feminine body and its 5th vital sign, the menstrual cycle, as well as women’s reproductive health and generational wounds that leave a lasting impact.
Jada and I are talking about the divine feminine and mother wounds, and how much masculine versus feminine energy comes into play here. The concept of ‘more’ can be so detrimental, because as women, we are always being told to go and DO more. Even if we are doing all.the.things, we still hear that what we are doing isn’t enough, and this negatively impacts us further. We’re also digging into the very precarious topic of mother wounds, and how this impacts both females and males, and the entire family dynamic. Mother wounds require a LOT of bravery to feel and explore, but it can feel nearly impossible to actually FEEL what is needed. When mother wounds go unnoticed or untreated, the lasting effects can show up completely off-kilter for husbands and wives, feelings of unworthiness become more ingrained in us, and we don’t pay any attention to the beautiful gift that is our intuition.
Honestly…there’s nothing that makes you confront your sh*t like motherhood does. After talking with Jada about some verrry deep and vulnerable topics, everything just makes so much more sense, and it’s all connected! I know all of this can feel overwhelming, but it’s also incredibly refreshing, because knowledge is power. I’m so grateful for Jada who is helping us better understand ourselves, our realities, and the way we fit into the world – the ripple effect all of this will have on our kids and the generations to come is so cool to think about!!
