Thanks so much for being here. Let's dive in. Hi friends, welcome back to the Naturally Prosperous Woman podcast.
Speaker 1:I'm your host, tara Preston, and this week I wanted to talk about transmuting upheaval in your life to more fully live your purpose. This has been something that I've been supporting women with for well over a decade, and it's also what ushered in my own sacred work and my own sacred path. It can often show up when we're navigating. You know what some would call a dark night of the soul, right When there's a lot crumbling, when it can feel like life is working against us, or when we choose to honor ourselves, our deeper truth in some very powerful way that can affect others. And specifically, where I see this happen is within the family unit. And so you see a mother who perhaps has been disconnected from her purpose or not fully honoring her deeper needs, wants truth or souls calling, and time has passed maybe a year or two or three And she's been putting the needs of others first, because she cares And because it's something that maybe she needed to do as a mother. And then, all of a sudden, underneath though, what's been bubbling and what's been boiling is a deeper truth, a deeper desire, and in the meantime, relationships can grow stagnant and certain aspects of our life no longer feel like they're fitting, because there's a disconnect from the authenticity that we are And we feel it, and it feels limiting, and it feels quite tight and small. And then this gap happens between who we feel that we're being called to be. It's a longing to get to know ourselves in a different way, to have a life experience that honors our desire to feel free, to feel nourished, to feel alive, to feel the beauty of our expression emanate through our physical experience. And then one day she wakes up and decides that it can't go on like this, and that can happen through a conversation. It can happen through separation right, just like acknowledging that maybe a relationship you knew wasn't serving you it's finally giving voice to it. This can happen through all kinds of things. It can also happen through some type of a family emergency. It can happen through, it can happen anywhere where we start to see crumbling in our lives, and it can be scary at first and it can really leave us scratching our head.
Speaker 1:And what I've seen in my own life and what I've seen working with women for over a decade, is that there's so much power, magic and potential that exists in the upheaval And working with women over the years. There's a particular sequence that I often see happens when we go to say yes, when we can see the opportunity in the upheaval and in the mess to more fully align, to move through it, to transmute it and to more fully align to the truth of who we are and who we're being called to be, which inevitably lands us more fully in the expression of our purpose. So if this is you, if you're moving through upheaval, i see you. I definitely understand the challenges, specifically when we're working, specifically when that upheaval is showing up, when it affects the family, and I see this with mothers. You know, maybe it is the deeper sense that your partnership no longer serves you, and it hasn't for a long time, and you've made all the efforts you know to try to piece it all together And yet, on a deeper level, you know that something isn't serving you. I know it can be very, very challenging, but what I want to offer here today is I want to offer the sequence, the path, the steps that I have used while working with many, many women through upheaval.
Speaker 1:It's often where women find me, in that place of divorce, a new child. It can be a move, it can be just on the edge of like evolution and just feeling the rumble and the crumble of the old and like, holy shit, where am I going? What's going on? What do I do? There's, there's beautiful steps that you can take to navigate the way forward and there's an opportunity to transmute the upheaval and I've already said that But to actually live and lean into more of the woman that you were born to be. There's a gift in it and it can often show up to a different life Phases. Right, there's there's different gateways of initiation along a woman's path, and maybe I'll talk a little bit about that too, because For a long time work, specifically working with the Akashic records to it's very, very deep and ancient healing tool and we don't have rights of passage and we often don't have ceremonies or initiations for these really pivotal Moments along a woman's path, and what can actually often happen to is what I am, something that I've seen is later on in a woman's life maybe she's 506070 right, because we haven't taken time to honor and to actually work with and move through the upheaval.
Speaker 1:We can reach a later time in our lives where we were backlogged with pain. We're backlogged with grief, anger, right backlogged with a lack of faith. Right, because we haven't been given the space and the time to recalibrate through really pivotal times in our lives. And that's why it's important, when we're faced with the initiation, when we're faced with the upheaval, to do the work, to set the stage, to peel back another layer, to transmute, so that we don't carry it forward Right, and that's a really important piece along the evolutionary woman's path.
Speaker 1:So, again, if this is you and my invitation, if this is you, definitely you know one of the really beautiful ways that I serve my clients, i serve my women to step into their leadership, whatever that looks like for them at that juncture of their road, which is essentially trusting themselves, allowing their sacred vision to guide their lives Right to to be able to honor that. One of the ways that I'll often work with and support women is with the Akashic records. So if you're hearing this word, if you're loving my words, definitely reach out. You can definitely reach out, tara, at Tara Prestoncom. We can look at a time to connect and see if my work is a beautiful fit for you, if this is speaking to you, if you feel the call to specifically break free, to birth the next evolution of you, of your sacred work in the world, and connect it to prosperity and freedom and healthy relationships and deeper intimacy and all the good stuff.
Speaker 1:Because every time we transmit the upheaval and we trust ourselves and we trust our self and our self And we trust ourselves to lead from a deeper knowing and a deeper vision. We're always being rebirthed into more. It always the. The new life is always better than the old. So what do we do? How do we get started? Where do we start to really harness the power of upheaval or change or just that sense of being on the edge of our own Evolution. So much beauty, so much magic. I've seen this in my own journey when we fled the city.
Speaker 1:So this was about 13 years ago now and I was well no, it was about 14 years ago, i guess But I was pregnant with my daughter And I was living in a big city. I'd been there for 13 years. I was and had been a professional makeup artist, professional model for 13 years, and I just was no longer. Nothing was and nothing was feeling right anymore And and I just had this sense of like what is next, like what is where's more of my purpose, like what does that look like? I was very frustrated with the beauty industry And I really wanted to understand the deeper essence of purpose and beauty and how that played into the scope of a woman's path And at the same time, i was really feeling this initiation of motherhood. Right, what? what does that mean to me? It was life changing. There is there is a lot of upheaval happening And at that time I decided that I, i wanted to be the mother who was living her purpose, not the mother who would tell my daughter to go live her purpose.
Speaker 1:I wanted to be embodied in my purpose. I wanted to carve a path that would show her Living the beauty of her dreams, her purpose, her naturalness, her sacred work, without getting lost in the school system. And school, you know that's. That's an important piece. In whatever way, you know you support your children, definitely. No judgment here. I've worked with moms who have transitioned out of the school system and moved into homeschooling. I've worked with moms who are in the school system and are beautiful advocates for their children But still appreciate our school system and know that some things need to change Right. So I think that we can do it both ways.
Speaker 1:Where was I? so I wanted to really embody that was important to me and so at that time we made this decision to move to an acreage, basically moving back home, to an acreage that had been sitting empty for quite a while. So we made the move. It was a jump. We were leaving everything behind and essentially I remember living without a cell phone for over a year. It was awesome. I had no cell phone and I just kind of immersed myself in painting in nature and hearing my own inner voice and Really started to journey and rebuild my life from that place.
Speaker 1:I shortly after found the Akashic records, which became a really powerful tool and ally, and still is. And I knew at that point that my purpose was really to connect women, to Just hold that supportive space of deep connection to their intuition and to their power, and to also peel back the layers of the old stories that no longer serve them. And it's one of the brilliant pieces about the Akashic records And I'll also, you know, leave a resource to for the Akashic women's personal mastery, a home study That you know. If the Akashic records, if it's a tool you'd like to learn for your own navigation, then you can check that out. That's a beautiful way as well to get started.
Speaker 1:But let's talk about first I want to talk about these, these gateways of initiation, and then I want to talk about steps Right there. And there really is, there really is, and specifically when we're talking about transformation, there's actually like there's, there's feminine stages that exist within that. So we think about mother nature, right, or the cycles of the moon. It's like it's all there for us when we understand how to work with it, but it's not linear, and yet it is. And where it's not linear, it is the invitation to come into that space of deep connection, right, of coming into the root system of who we are, to guide us where, to guide us through the places that just feel really unknown. All right, so the feminine the stages, the feminine life cycle stages are made in hood, so made in hood, and often it's like the initiation is is bleed time And oh gosh, yeah, i have so many resources and tools that I want to, i want to share, but I also don't want to overwhelm the conversation with that. But, yeah, so bleed time, right, and if we think about, you know, the experience with our first bleed as young women, i mean there's a lot that goes into that initiation of stepping into what it means to be a young woman in our society And also our relationship with our bodies, our blossoming sexuality and the power of our cycle and also the power of our bleed right. And so that's the first initiation, okay.
Speaker 1:The second one very often is there's a little bit of an initiation that often happens like around the age of 21. And around the age of 21, when we go, when we leave the nest, there's often some things around there. So, with all these initiations right, all these gateways, we're often we've got baggage, unprocessed, baggage that often we need to untangle, we don't want to carry it forward, but because we often haven't had these initiations, these this time to really look at, like, how do these pivotal moments redefine us, how do they support us, empowerfully, creating life on our terms. So then there's the initiation of motherhood And that'll show up. You know, oftentimes whether you have children or not, it's often I'll see women nurturing like a team, like within the scope of their business, or they're just they're nurturing and giving life to creations and other ways.
Speaker 1:So motherhood is a powerful initiation. That was, for me as well, a huge initiation If we think about it like, literally, our center of gravity changes, especially after, like the physical aspect of birth, it's kind of well, our belly button, literally like moves on our body And you know we're leaving behind a phase of our life And there's a powerful. This is a powerful place to recalibrate and to look at who to I, who do I want to be and how do I want to create my life from this space of motherhood. It can often impact our relationships, our relationship to our body, our relationship to ourself, our relationship to how we get to show up in our power, to how spacious our lives get to feel. There's just so many ways right And we can have a lot of the mother wounds show up in this place, a lot of like what our relationship was like with our mother right. So there's, there can be a lot to recalibrate, there's a lot to step into in terms of initiation for what that means along the woman's path. Then next we have there's also kind of like this gateway around, like I find, like the 40s, and someone referred to that as like the enchantress phase. So there's this real invitation And there's often this upheaval, and it can happen through divorce, it can have to happen through shifting family dynamics, it can happen through sexual awakening.
Speaker 1:It's a real, really powerful time for women to start to understand that they have this creative power that exists within them. Often their relationship to themselves is shifting and deepening and then they're stepping out of a little bit of that care, caretaker, caregiver role And so there's often more space and time for themselves. But that can be one initiation. But the big initiation that comes is often through the initiation of the crone, the crowned one, anchoring into the initiation of perimenopause, of menopause, of really fully anchoring into who we are as community leaders, the wisdom that we've cultivated, the beauty that we are and really the golden years right, the golden years. And so at this point too, it's like we've really you know, we're done taking care of children to a degree We've got a lot more time, a lot more freedom, hopefully, and it's really this stage of. I mean, it's a beautiful metamorphosis.
Speaker 1:There's so much happening at the spiritual level, at the physical body level, but it truly is an opportunity to gather all of the life's lessons And to recalibrate our life into deep alignment with our power, our sacred work, the vision that we hold for our lives and for our communities, and to experience a new kind of freedom, a new kind of freedom. There's so many layers to pull back in that space of wild freedom. It's a real journey into our power If we're willing to do the journey, if we're willing to use it for an initiation. So those are a few of the often the initiations that exist along our feminine or our woman's path. Now, what to do? What to do if you are in that space of my life is falling apart, or I'm being faced with a challenge, or their change needs to happen, or I'm just being called and I know that my old life no longer serves me. Right, how do we harness the power of that.
Speaker 1:So one of the first steps that I will often do for myself and with clients is the great purge. If change is happening, things want to be released. The harder that we hold on, the harder that it is to let go, the harder that it is to really prepare fertile ground and fertile space for the new, and this can be really exciting. There's this opportunity to. We may not know what's coming yet because there's still like the attachment to the old and there may be like emotional clutter and there may be physical clutter, but it's a really exciting time to recognize that change is happening, that new is being born. I don't know what that looks like yet, but it's like cultivating that sense of adventure rather than fear. Change can be so, so beautiful If we fear can show up, if we've held on in the past or if we haven't moved through some of the pain of loss, and that's natural and that's fair too, and that's a that's that can be a part of what, you know, we look at releasing. So step one is the great purge And so for myself and when I'm working with clients will often do like a closet purge, a home purge.
Speaker 1:You're really getting rid of everything that feels old and outdated You're going to, you're going to purge your closet, you're going to purge your emotions. So this is often like where I will, like you know, i spend a lot of time like journaling, like what am I ready to let go of? It's often a time when I'm working with clients, with the Akashic Records. We're going in deep, deep, deep, deep deep with, like the soul level, present lifetime clearing of the old stories for emotional and mental clearing. We're really getting rid of the old so that nothing gets carried forward And we're creating the space for the new. We're also creating space to go within, because every up level happens from a strong inner root system, right from a strong deepening into getting to know who we are, what we want, who we're being called to be, what is the vision that wants to be born, birthed through me as I lean into this.
Speaker 1:And there's a, there's a time that doesn't happen overnight. It can be like a two or three month period of deepening into this inner root system. For myself it's often, and my work with women it's often this connection to self and spirit. Right, we're strengthening the inner, the inner foundation. It's a time where there's like a lot of inner work as well, like when it comes to mentoring or space holding Right. It's like building the belief in the faith and what is possible for yourself And also starting to come into a new space of storytelling right, how we consciously get to start to recreate our lives. And it's the building and dropping into our power Right, and that can be like the sacred power, but it can also be like our inner radiant power, the reclamation and the remembering that we are powerful enough. We are so powerful Right. We build the confidence and the courage right to carry forward a new, deeper understanding of who we're being called to be. Right, so we're getting to know ourselves a new way.
Speaker 1:This is a really important stage of claiming sacred space for yourself. It's a big thing. With my work, i love supporting women to claim sacred space And actually one of the first steps would be my radiant morning power hour. It's a free, step by step resource. If you go to terra Prestoncom, that website's getting an update, but if you go to terra Prestoncom, there's the free gift My gosh, so beautiful. So you claim sacred space.
Speaker 1:This is about coming home to you, connecting to you, getting to know yourself in new ways, cultivating a new belief system, new stories, a new sense of power Right, and we start to dream into and open up to the new vision in that space. Right, and it's important and what can happen, thank you, is that women will start to tap into the deeper vision and they don't trust it. And this is the part of feminine leadership that I love, because I know the power in trusting our vision. If it's there, if we see it, if we feel it, if we're being called, there is so much magic and power in that place and we have to get used to claiming it and allowing ourselves to be led from that deeper vision for our lives and to know that it is truth. And to know that it is truth That's often a part of where I'm space holding That could be a new vision for the restructuring of your business, of your life, of your home. It often is. We're seeing some new vision, new foundation to hold, the new expression of who we're being called to be.
Speaker 1:Okay, so that's phase two. Phase three is the grounding. So it's like, it's a lot of like. Now we're taking out into the world a lot of the deeper inner work that has opened, been cultivated and connected to. That's a powerful piece of getting to know ourselves and having that inner foundation to carry us forward in a very, very powerful and confident way. And that type of inner foundation, in that space, it will be reflected in your relationship to yourself, your relationship to others, your relationship to money. It is like the core foundation piece of like healthy intimacy, like into me, i see. Like it is like getting to know and understand your needs, your wants, like you're going deep, deep within.
Speaker 1:This is your opportunity to restructure your life into alignment, with a deep sense of fulfillment, and that happens from creating alignment between our inner and outer worlds. Right, so it's the space of we don't have to sacrifice anymore, right, and it's also in that space, that middle space that I was talking about, we're really identifying to like, where are the people pleasing patterns, where it was the need for approval, safety, acceptance, and where do we clear that shit out Which, again, the Akashic records are so beautiful at clearing out? codependent, deeply rooted wounds? Right from past life, present life, ancestral right, inner child. Like we work with a variety of different timelines So that we were creating and we're we're bringing you back to a place of sovereignty, All right.
Speaker 1:So step three this is where we start to show up differently. Like I said, this foundation piece. It will be reflected in all of your relationship and really throughout your entire experience. Right, we have. We have cleared the residue, we have released deep core patterns, we have healed wounding, we have rebuilt a new belief system with new stories and a new understanding of the truth of who you are. So now it's like showtime And as we start to emerge from that place, as you start to emerge from that place, the world, the universe reflects back to you this new understanding of love, acceptance of sovereignty, of deep truth and the way begins to open Right and the way begins to open, new relationships begin to show up. A new experience of money starts to emerge. We're attracting new opportunities because we're different. We've shape, shape shifted.
Speaker 1:In that space There is an energetic recalibration through this process of getting to know and honor ourselves And new ways. We start to establish new ways of being, new patterns. We're struct, we are restructuring our lives into alignment with a deeper truth of who we are, and this can be through the home right, to restructure the home in a way that honors the way that you need space, your voice, your deeper desires. In the home Right, it can be through your business, it can be in relationships, it can be through an entirely new venture, but the key is the middle ground. The key is the inner foundation. The key is clearing and purging right where you meet the upheaval, the desire for change, or the change that is happening at every step of the way, because we want to set the fertile ground for the emergence of a life that is truly aligned to you. There's so much opportunity in that.
Speaker 1:This journey, in this journey So this is speaking to you definitely reach out. I'm going to leave my email at the bottom. You can reach out. I have got a pathway. Feminine Phoenix Rising is my signature nine month transformation that will meet you and hold you in this place every step of the way. So powerful to give ourselves this gift and to reinvent our lives like this. It's the type of freedom that will serve you for the rest of your life. And we can totally do this journey on our own. You can, and it's a hard journey to do on our own. Can you do it? You can, absolutely You can. Five, sorry four.
Speaker 1:Phase four is the integrated expression of who you are and the recalibration of that throughout your physical experience. You are fully integrated. It is like the new is here, i am reborn. I've never known myself or felt this way before in my experience. Right, it's just like you know that you are on your way, like it's like you are. You are really engaged in the new opportunities that have presented themselves. You are really engaged in the new foundation of your life. You're experiencing the joy of feeling what it feels like to have maybe new systems or new structures or new ways of being integrated into your home life, into your work life, into your business. It is like that time of celebration And the journey can continue to unfold from that place in a totally new energetic space.
Speaker 1:A big part of being able to also meet our space, or the upheaval, is, and through this process of purging out the old and understanding at a deeper level who we are, what we want, what we need is that we're repatterning ourselves, and so there's like an energetic recalibration that happens in a very powerful way throughout our entire nervous system. All right, so we are essentially becoming new, and when we shift vibrational states like this is something I love to teach and talk on. It is powerful, it's palpable. You will see it and feel it throughout your entire experience, but you will have it meeting you in a deeper place of truth and freedom. It's almost like, yeah, it's so powerful, it's like money can't even buy it, because freedom, to me, is such a deep, deep core value And I truly want that. I want that for every woman, and this is the power of feminine leadership. It's being able to embrace our creative power of being able to clarify what we need, want, desire, what the deeper vision is, what the deeper vision is, what our deeper values are, and then we quite literally become the vibration of that. But it is a journey. It's a journey.
Speaker 1:So I hope you had, you know, a journal handy, right, and if you want to get started with any of this, definitely reach out. I'll leave my email at the atterraprestoncom. We can set up a time to connect. I'm just starting to open up spaces for private work, but mostly if you're feeling the upheaval, take the time to engage the process, release the old claim space, to get to know yourself in a new way, really identify what isn't working and what you you want to create for yourself.
Speaker 1:Moving through this upheaval, what gets to be on the other side of this, that truly honors you as you move through the challenges of the upheaval, right, the challenges of the upheaval. Nothing lasts forever, right, and there is gifts and power in the upheaval. I hope this was helpful. I invite you to come on over to the Akashic Women's Community on Facebook. I'd love to hear your thoughts, and I think that's all that I have for you.
Speaker 1:Today. I left you a free resource the Radiant Morning Power Hour. That was such a pivotal part of my journey, too, of of claiming sacred space in the morning, you know, and once I really understood, through the up level, like through the up level that the upheaval was offering, i started to anchor that deeper truth in that woman that I was being called to be daily with the Radiant Warning Power Hour, because it can be really easy to get lost in the projections of others, of old, outdated relationship dynamics, right. It can be so powerful, though, to stay connected to the deeper, powerful woman that lives inside of us, the woman we're being called to be, and it can also be very, very powerful to have a guide and someone to mirror back to us who that woman is right And to hold space for the vision that we desire for our lives.
Speaker 1:I'm sending you so much love. I hope you enjoyed this and I will see you talk to you again soon. Thank you so much for listening. Have a beautiful day. Bye for now.
