Episode 131: Dr. Dorothy Neville - One World Community and the Future of Women’s Leadership

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 00:00:00 -0400

I’m thrilled to introduce you to Dr. Dorothy A. Martin- Neville, Ph.D., a powerful visionary, who is also a pioneer, mover, and risk-taker who is faith and humor-driven as well as committed to transformation and growth.

Dr. Dorothy’s story is incredibly inspirational and you’ll connect immediately to the warmth and humor she exudes as she tells her story of resilience after growing up in an orphanage from birth till age 3 as an illegitimate daughter of an unwed mother in South Boston. Once she was adopted, she lived in a playpen on the outside porch until she was 6 years old so that her grandmother didn’t have to acknowledge her existence inside the house.

Fast forward and Dr. Dorothy is the author of several books such as Real Women Change The World: Letting the Good Girl Die so the Real Women Can Live, where she shares the importance of emotional intelligence, mindset, mindfulness, and communication as imperative tools for women in leadership.

She is also an international speaker, author, consultant/master coach, and frequent radio, podcast, and television guest is also Past-President of the National Speakers Association – CT and the founder of 4 companies.
In this episode you’ll hear:

Why do so many people choose to live in illusion- stuck in jobs that they hate or lives that don’t fulfill them.
We stay in situations that deplete us because there is a payoff in staying.
What is the story of “the victim” and how can you get out?
Why stagnancy in your life will eventually make you sick
What women’s leadership makes possible in the world.
How Dorothy’s traumatic upbringing informed her life helped her become who she is today.
What is the “risk” of transformation?
Why women are uniquely suited for helping the world to unify in a global community.

A psychotherapist, Dr. Dorothy was in practice for 25+ years. As a motivational speaker, Dr. Dorothy brought a history of living in an orphanage, being adopted and raised in the housing projects of South Boston in a violent alcoholic home. She later became a Catholic nun, an international airline stewardess, and so much more, showing that faith, humor, and passion make anything possible.

Today, whether supporting individual clients in recognizing and living their Purpose or supporting CEOs in creating a culture of Purpose within their organization, Dr. Dorothy brings first-hand knowledge of the challenges facing those who want to live and work in a culture that feeds rather than drains them.
In that light, Dorothy has supported highly successful women from all levels of success, from Park Ave, NYC to a small town in Maine. Consequently, patterns and similarities in leadership are readily understood as she brings extensive wisdom, knowledge, and experience to the table. Combining her recognition that mindset and communication skills set us apart, with her ability to make the complicated simple, Dr. Dorothy is someone to learn from whether as a speaker, trainer, coach, or consultant.

Episode 78: Dr. Dain Heer - Body Whispering

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0400

Join me for a conversation about Body Whispering with Dain Heer and our innate capability to heal from what ails us by learning to listen to the body's wisdom and discern our pain and disease from another.

In this episode we cover:

Many of us have the innate gift of being empathic, which makes us natural facilitators of healing.
It’s important to be able to facilitate healing without taking on another’s pain as our own.
The greatest gift we can give another is to empower them with choice and to bring their own power to heal into their awareness.
“What are you dying to get out of?” and “Whose pain is this?” are questions to consider when we are dealing with chronic pain or terminal illness.
Learning to ask your body what it needs and listen to its answers.
Reacquainting ourselves with chaos as a form of awakening consciousness and activating opportunities for healing.
Fixed points of view are also “stuck” points of energy in the body that may create dis-ease.

In the episode, I refer to the following story to illustrate how we tend to judge an experience. In this story, the experience shifts as the old farmer continues to suspend judgment to view the conditions from other perspectives:

“There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically. "Maybe," the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed. "Maybe," replied the old man.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy for his misfortune. "Maybe," answered the farmer.

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. "Maybe," said the farmer.”

Beginning his journey as a chiropractor, Dr. Dain Heer has been facilitating, exploring, and celebrating the magic of bodies for the last 30 years.

Along his journey, he developed his signature energy work called the Energetic Synthesis of Being: a totally different way that invites a new level of awareness and energetic transformation with bodies which includes kindness, caring, and communion.

Growing up, Dain had a lot of abuse in his life, but he never chose to be a victim. He learned very early on the power of real courage, choice, and resilience. He learned to transform life's challenges into a gift of strength, awareness and continue being in the question. Dain says judgment is the biggest killer on the planet, especially the judgment of ourselves.

Based on his own life experience, he asks, "What if we could get out of the wrongness of ourselves and see every wrongness, the places where we judge ourselves the most, as a strongness? What would be possible then?"

Reaching far beyond what people say with words, Dain looks at the energy of what is being presented and invites people to live without apology, no longer needing to hide their differences and unique capacities from the world. Body Whispering- A New Way of Seeing, Being & Healing is Dain's latest book. Learn more at www.bodywhispering.com.

Episode 54: Coral Brown - The Biology of Belief

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 00:00:00 -0500

Coral Brown was one of our top podcast episodes of 2020, so I thought it fitting to invite her back at the close of what has been an incredibly challenging year for most of us. Today we talk about The Biology Of Belief and how our beliefs shape everything, including what we perceive, how we live and move in the world, and how our beliefs even biologically impact our health.

I want to mention that being with Coral is also like sitting in a hub where you experience a whirlwind of connection points that simultaneously come together. I often leave our conversations feeling as though I have shifted on a cellular level. I feel more expansive, aware, and tuned-in to deeper wisdom about what’s happening in the world that, I am convinced more than ever, is happening not to us but for us.

Coral Brown is known and loved in her local community and around the world. She is a mother, a dharma dweller, and a teacher of teachers. She is known for her integrative, lighthearted approach that fuses vinyasa yoga's vibrant, creative energy with her experience as a holistic counselor.

Coral is a licensed mental health counselor and draws on twenty years of experience in yoga, philosophy, and holistic counseling to provide fertile, open space for the processes of healing and transformation.

Coral’s teachings are fueled by the desire to reveal and cultivate the essence of our individual and collective dharma and instill it into every aspect of our being. Coral leads worldwide teacher trainings, retreats, and workshops. She is a regular contributor to Yoga Journal and has featured classes on YogaGirl.com.

*Show Notes: *

Our belief system is shaped by our families, society, culture, education, and religion.
Awareness is the beginning of everything.
If you don’t believe it, you don’t perceive it.
We live in a dualistic world: right or wrong, heaven or hell, black or white, but there is a whole spectrum of experience and intelligence we miss when we perceive the world in this way.
We have been in a collective triggering of sorts, and many of us have lost friends and family members due to our beliefs. The higher your level of emotional intelligence and empathy, the more you can feel the collective pain.
Emotional Intelligence is just as important as intellectual intelligence and is more critical than ever as we navigate relationships and connection at a deeper level.
Often, we experience a contraction before an expansion, which is happening in our world right now.
Awareness of our beliefs is where our work is, and fealizing (feel + realizing) what we are feeling in each moment and choosing our response from a place of compassion for ourselves and others.
Conducting an inventory of beliefs is a great place to start noticing what your belief system is.
