It’s by far one of the most provocative and potent trainings I’ve ever done. It helped me truly understand the core wounds of women conditioned by patriarchy and how to assist women in healing those wounds. In this episode, I have the honor of introducing you to my teacher and her work and celebrating with her the publication of her first book with Sounds True: Maiden To Mother, Unlocking our Archetypical Journey into The Mature Feminine. When the goddess culture was stolen and buried, so were women’s rites of passage into our wild, intuitive femininity and maturity. With Maiden to Mother, Sarah Durham Wilson excavates these ancient rites, guiding us through a sacred and crucial initiation from the immature Maiden into the archetypal Mother. This powerful, safe, compassionate, full-bloom feminine life force exists within all of us. Becoming the Mother is every woman’s birthright—regardless of whether or not she raises children. The Mother is who we needed as children, who we were meant to be in this life, and who the world needs us to be now. Sarah teaches that while pre-patriarchal cultures honored women’s natural cycles, today’s society infantilizes women, idolizing youthful traits such as “pretty, pleasing, and polite” to keep us distracted and dependent. While a healthy version of the Maiden will always remain part of us, there comes a time when we must no longer let her wounds and immaturity guide our lives. We must step into our mature, feminine fullness. Through personal stories, rituals, teachings, and practices, Sarah helps women heal the Mother Wound and dismantle our internalized patriarchy with its false, constricting standards for the feminine so that we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life. “Midlife is not, as our culture proposes, where a woman’s power ends,” writes Wilson, “but where it really begins.” In this episode, Sarah and I talk about: Sarah’s diagnosis and her more recent understanding of how being undiagnosed has impacted her in her work. Sarah losing her Mother to Cancer when she was still a teen and how her Mother’s life and death shaped her work and healing. Activism as a potent medicine for what the world needs now, how she’s helping to dismantle racism through her work, and being a faithful ally to black, brown, and indigenous women, and the connection to the colonization and capitalistic trance of patriarchy. White feminism and white fragility and how they are related to “The Wounded Maiden” archetype. Why Climate Justice and Racial Justice are Married. Inner misogyny, its impact, and how it becomes internalized in both men and women.

]]> Episode 48: Libby Bunten - Rupture to Radiance https://revelationproject.fireside.fm/48 386a205a-8368-46ee-ae60-c33bc6ad4003 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 23:00:00 -0500 Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC full Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC In this episode, Monica speaks to Libby Bunten about her journey from Rupture to Radiance 49:11 no This podcast brought me so much pleasure! Libby Bunten is a dear friend and colleague that keeps me thinking, daring and belly-laughing. Join us as we travel into the deep rupture of Libby’s personal awakening and into the world of radiant feminist leadership development. Libby’s infectious love of laughter, life and leadership is accessible and inspiring. As a highly accomplished independent consultant in the global online business world with Arbonne (https://www.arbonne.com/pws/libbybunten/tabs/home.aspx), Libby’s passion is is to strengthen the lives of women in her local community and beyond. Raised in a quintessential Maine coastal town, Libby always did “whatever it took” to make a living and get the job done. Before a career in social marketing, she did everything from manual labor to freelance writing. A brief stint in a toxic, patriarchal, corporate work environment propelled Libby to pursue an MS in Clinical Psychology which ultimately led to her work in feminist leadership development with like-minded, independent and irreverent women. When she isn't cheering women on, you can find her traveling with her Hebrew Hunk, Paul, singing karaoke, or in deep surrender to the abyss that is the journey of healing. We are programmed not to take ownership of our innate gifts. The “art of bragging” comes from Mama Gena and is really about celebration and learning to create a culture of claiming our accomplishments and celebrating one another. Libby had experienced “The Mother Wound” first hand and found herself at a point in her life where she was seeking a way to reveal her true self. Libby came home from Mama Gena’s weekend experience and cried for a week, which is something Mama Gena calls a “rupture”. Trying to suppress your emotion is like trying to push a balloon underwater. Giving permission and space for our emotion creates a clearing, and if we do this work enough- the work of unbecoming, we can return to our original divine design. After completing a Mama Gena weekend, Libby enrolled in Rockstar Camp with Megan Jo Wilson and took her awareness and the work of unbecoming even higher. Social marketing is aligned with leadership development and often gets us way out of our comfort zone. It often confronts us with the level of independence it gives us, and calls us to be more responsible, visible, and engaged. Women are uniquely suited to do well in social marketing because it’s about relationships, community and authentic connection. Feminist leadership is about getting all voices at the table. Women are circling in ways that are creating a spiral of evolution, and helping each other ascend into a higher understanding of what we are capable of, and how we are all connected. Libby continues to build her thriving Arbonne community, and next on her bucket list is writing her book!
