“We’re not willing when we feel we have a lot to lose, but we risk everything when we feel like we have nothing to lose. ”
– Susan Lipshutz
How can we tap into our inner knowing and medicine? How can we move through fear in our most challenging moments?
Susan Lipshutz, LCSW - sacred feminine activist and integrative psychotherapy has spent more than 30 years supporting seekers and building strong communities that reawaken and integrate the divine feminine into daily life, combining the ancient wisdom of our grandmothers with her own powerful teachings attuned to the complexities of modern life.
Find out her most helpful tools and practices that have served Susan in her most challenging moments, 3 powerful questions to ask yourself in the healing process, and learn about the Akashic Records - what are they, how Susan uses them, and how they can be powerful in your healing journey.
I’m honored and excited to have Susan as my first guest for the launch of this podcast as she has not only been a mentor and dear friend, but her teachings and community offerings have supported so many women in her 30 years of service.
Enjoy!
