Let Your Inner Goddess Roar
Episode #: Acharya Shunya on Goddess Energy
If you have a hard time speaking up for yourself, listen in on this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, as host Elizabeth Cush talks with Acharya Shunya about her new book, Roar Like a Goddess: Every Woman's Guide to Becoming Unapologetically Powerful, Prosperous, and Peaceful.
“I hope that all of our listeners understand that the universe wants them to be empowered.”
Show Notes:
How often do you feel like a goddess? Or channel goddess energy in your life? Probably not often enough, if at all. In a patriarchal world, women often quiet their voices, not speaking up for themselves or expressing their needs. This is especially true for highly sensitive women. But it IS possible to step into your power. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Acharya Shunya, a modern mystic, teacher and author, and the first female of her ancient spiritual lineage from India. They talk about how women making their way in today’s modern world can draw inspiration from a trio of Vedic goddesses to find their voice, transform their lives, and move to a place of peace, power, prosperity and greater Self energy.
