Episode 123: Pat Duckworth - The Revelation of Menopause

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 00:15:00 -0400

Chemistry is important to me, as are relationships. I usually conduct what I call “chemistry calls” before I agree to interview a guest on the podcast. Pat and I had some chemistry. I immediately fell in love with her accent, authenticity, and humor. So much that 90 minutes later, we were still gabbing away.

I loved our conversation. Pat is both wise and hysterical! She’s taken menopause into a whole new realm making it much more adventurous and accessible for women ready to experience this rite of passage through another lens.

Pat approaches this subject differently, revealing to women what an honor it is and a positive rite of passage vs. the signaling of negative things to come.

How Pat chose the title of her first book: Hot Women Rock.
We discuss where menopause fits in the archetypical journey from maiden to mother to crone
How cycles mark the passing of time for women and how women can learn to adjust to the cycles even when no longer menstruating.
Why we often dismiss our wise women instead of honoring them
How physical changes play a role in how we feel
Why menopause is more than hot flashes and ending cycles- so much more!

Pat Duckworth is a best-selling author, an international speaker, and a specialist in the area of wellness at menopause. She enjoyed a 30-year career in the British Civil Service, becoming a Director in a major Department. She has written five books on women’s health in midlife.

Episode 87: D'vorah J. Grenn, Ph.D., Kohenet - Lilith's Fire: Honoring the Sacred Feminine

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 00:00:00 -0400

To be with D’vorah Grenn is to sit by the fire with the wise woman, and to deeply connect to and reveal the suppressed herstory of the sacred feminine.

As a teacher and a scholar, she is a wealth of introspection, warmth and storytelling and I love both her brilliant mind, and her loving and playful heart.

D’vorah and I travel to ancient and erotic places in this episode and reveal the layers of power contained within the uncensored and creative feminine life force to discuss what’s possible as more women awaken and step into our power.

In addition to being a disciple of truth and divinity, D’vorah is also a lover of laughter and sisterhood, so I know you’ll love this episode and the revelations we share that include:

Why Lilith is such an important archetype for women, and why her fire needs tending.
Understanding that for thousands of years women have been silenced, erased, marginalized, and our opinions and preferences discounted, denigrated or mocked and why that has to change.
D’vorah shares her personal story about her descent into her dark night and recounts her own reclamation and spiritual awakening.
Contemporary thinkers have been redefining "sin" and re-visioning the erotic as a sacred life force. These concepts are so important for women to explore and embody.
Why women feel deeply nourished by learning more about the sacred feminine, and how it fills an inner void when we reveal hidden stories about the feminine face of the divine.
How religions have been part of fracturing our understanding of the divine feminine and suppressing the importance of her presence in our lives.
The power of women’s circles and being witnessed, received and loved in our true expression by other women in sisterhood.
Why Eden is a paradise, and not a prison, and how women can reclaim our power and our voices by leaning into the true mythologies and stories of the feminine, not the stories that were co-opted and shaped to fit a narrative intended to keep women oppressed and unrealized.
The more conversations women have about our lives, our ideas, our philosophies, our experiences and our real feelings, the more unified and collaborative we can become and the better our world will be.

D'vorah J. Grenn, Ph.D. & Kohenet/Priestess, is Founding Director, The Lilith Institute (1997). She Co-Directed the former Women's Spirituality MA Program at Institute of Transpersonal Psychology/Sofia University, and founded Mishkan Shekhinah, a movable sanctuary honoring the Sacred Feminine. An Adjunct Professor at Napa Valley College, D'vorah also serves as a spiritual mentor and guide. Her Talking To Goddess anthology includes sacred writings of 72 women from 25 traditions. Other publications include Lilith's Fire: Reclaiming Our Sacred Lifeforce; "The Kohanot: Keepers of the Flame" in Stepping into Ourselves: An Anthology of Writing on Priestesses; and the Jewish priestess and Lilith entries, Encyclopedia of Women in World Religions.

Sensuality is about knowing the nuances of your body and allowing your body to feel what it feels.
Women are uniquely designed to intuit the world through our senses.
So many women feel like they should put themselves last and put everything and everyone before them.
Coming home to "I MATTER” is a pivotal coming home point for women.
You have permission to be all of you.
Erotic intelligence is getting really clear on your desires and pleasure.
In order to get to pleasure we have to allow ourselves to be in our most primal nature to receive, be vulnerable.
The leadership of the future is strong and compassionate, nurturing and powerful.
The “messy" feminine is where we can hear the sacred voice within us.
Women can hold grief and joy at the same time- our emotional capacity and range are remarkable.
To celebrate and honor all of our emotions in the body is to be fully embodied.
