“If we stop saying “I am traumatized” and instead say I’m in a massive period of shifting right now. That has to cause a collapse to occur. Trauma is the collapse of the framework that I currently understand life from.” – James Greenshield

From my first connection with James about 10 years ago, as a guest presenter for “Grab Life By The Balls”, I’ve found him to be a beacon of inspiration and a demonstration of the Sacred Masculine. James had a massive career of 17 years in the Australian Army, training and leading over 100 men into Iraq. A roadside bomb exploding under his vehicle kicked him into a direction of a deep invitation to know himself. At the point of having a stellar career mapped out and a significant safety net (James articulates this as above him not below him) and reaching the opportunity to be promoted into the rank of Lieutenant Colonel he stepped away, but more so toward his place on the planet.

I’ve had many thoughts and conversations with friends in the past about where is the patterning of the Sacred Masculine. Where are the Elders/Sages/Sovereign Individuals who express, articulate and embody this? This has driven my own evolution into the loving depths of myself and the Wisdom of Divine/Source/Quantum and the expansion of who I am and am becoming. For me, James is an inspired embodiment of the Sacred Masculine, a leader who has Emerged with experiential authority. The real deal.

In this episode we dive into a nutrient dense conversation on identity, love, relationships, trauma, archetypes, initiations, birth, wound, death moments and much more. Through this there is an invitation, an inspiration for you to courageously step into the fullness of who and the big why of your existence.

This chat wasn’t just a nutritious meal, it was a buffet with a doggy bag, to gift you a taste of your own divine sustenance.

Indulge, share and courageously dive into the incredible Sol you are.

Big Love

The intent for these recordings is to be unhomogenised and unpasteurised conversations that aligns with real life. The falling over words, the poise and challenge in moments to understand how to verbalise what’s wanting to come forward, is part of the realness of nutrient dense conversations. So, with that, I have to say I’m embracing and enjoying watching my own clunkiness as I explore my expression through this space. I hope you too hold space for yourself, friends, family, strangers yet to know and myself as we navigate enriched conversations on this journey.

What an honour to sit with such an Elder in Peter Andrews OAM. I was joined with my sister Danielle and her partner Charles Body to have a beautiful conversation with Peter. I’m reminded of a quote I read from Caitlyn Johnson “Whomever controls the narrative controls the people” and the understanding of this is so pertinent when cracking open “popular” agendas. This chat with Peter is a perfect example of cracking the narrative and introducing, at the very least, a conversation that entertains possibilities beyond current agendas.

We delve into the incredible uniqueness of the continent of Australia. A continent that, in Peters eyes, holds the blueprint of how to create an incredible harmonious and fertile land, beyond what was there prior to humanity arriving. We touch on the impact of the flora and fauna with the use of fire, clearing and farming techniques imposed on what was a balanced, climate perfect ecosystem. Peter takes us through simple, yet powerful insight into the heating of the land, how water has been managed and sequestered dysfunctionally; that the gum tree is a sign of poor soil and ways to move water and nutrients throughout the environment. Peter also discusses how he witnessed the impact of a biodiverse pasture creating 5 champion racehorses and terminally sick cattle returning to optimised health.

All this wisdom has been gleaned from the greatest experiment and successful demonstration being the Australian continent. For decades, Peter has been bringing these insights forward and I can hear the frustration he has with the falling on conveniently deaf ears at the bureaucratic level. For me, I see that dynamic change occurs from the groundswell of critical thinking at an individual level, and Peter still has hopes that the political stage and scientific establishment need to be the way forward. This is more than a theory for Peter with a lifetime of evidence through application of this wisdom in many farms and rural holdings.

As a lot of us have developed a healthy critical thinking barometer of popular narratives, this is a conversation that invites you to also delve deeper into our stewardship of this amazing earth.

Heal Birth Heal the Earth – Calling the Power of Birth Home – Carla Sargent

“Carla is New Zealand’s leading authority on birth trauma. Her background in midwifery & her many years of experience in helping people heal from their birth trauma, combines to offer you reliable, compassionate and trusted support.” https://www.healingbirth.co.nz/

To encounter the mindset that, for a woman, her body is broken and needs to be outsourced to a model of “care” for her to birth, is creating an epidemic of disempowerment. The catch phrase “We’ll you’ve got a healthy baby” is the go-to rebuttal of anything that challenges accountability, retrospection, and deception of sovereignty. What this inhibits is the potentiality of creating an initiation into the innate power of a woman evolving into the new reality of mother and expression of motherhood. This “groomed” abdication of the innate woman’s sovereignty is creating a significant setting and experience of destabilisation in connection on multiple levels for the woman, child, parental unit and beyond. “Heal Birth Heal the Earth” is more than a proclamation it is an invitation to call our power and sovereignty home.

Carla and I connected through a beautiful mutual friend and my first podcast guest, Lynley. In that first episode, Lynley shared her emotional birth trauma and the healing space that Carla created which empowered her to reclaim this incredible aspect of womanhood. What an amazing and courageous Sol Carla is. It is so evident, through our conversation, that Carla is following her innate calling and tapping into that wisdom to support the healing of birth trauma and empower many women. For me, I can see this is an incredibly pivotal aspect of an individuals, and more so, humanities return to wholeness.

In our conversation we share aspects of our experiences of birth, Carla’s incredible ability to hold space, her courage to create a business to support birth trauma healing for woman, what the invitation is for woman to step into for their sovereignty, her amazing mothers courageous innate birth wisdom, fear as a grooming tool to abdicate women’s sovereignty, then the power and privilege of hearing those birth stories of the amazing women who have worked through their birth trauma, as well as so much more.

This wisdom is so incredible to share, not just with other mothers but also young woman and future mums and dads to be. I really encourage you to tap into Carla’s podcast “Healing Birth with Carla” or if you would love to reach out to Carla to step into the healing of your own birth trauma’s or would like to be trained to support women through their healing, please connect in via Carla’s website:
