Hello my friends

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 6 of Conversations With A Couple Of Crones. (Or CWACOC, as we call it! Or, as Voxer transcribe calls it clack clack!! 😂).

We start, of course, with our traditional opening question …

Where am I now?

You’ll hear me talk about how my inner work is making me feel really dynamic at the moment. I’m diving deep into my inner world, and it feels amazing. I’m also feeling incredibly creative at the moment. I cannot stop writing. I just have words pouring out of me onto the page and it feels so good. I’ve been typing up my journal entries and using them as the basis for essays and articles I’m writing, and of course, this is the backbone of my first book I’m writing here. We’re only three months into our 16-month long Sage’s Golden Path Retreat with Richard Rudd, and already my document is up to almost 100,000 words … and I haven’t even typed everything up yet!! And this morning I was extra creative and made the first of my art journal index cards as part of Meghan’s course, Playful Pondering. (This is a free course which Meghan offers inside Gene Keys Unleashed with Hayley Curtis!)

You will hear Meghan talk about this very question, “Where am I now?”, and how it places us in time and space, and helps us to understand where we are in our inner work journey. This question links into her Evolution Gene Key 20, with its Siddhi of Presence … “Where am I now?” allows her to stay present by grounding the transformations into her life in the moment. Our outer life reflects our inner life; often the transformations we witness in our inner life, show up in our outer life. Meghan also spoke about a visit to her (very elfin) doctor, and how that consultation brought in so much more equilibrium around her care of her body. “When you build a house, would you only use a hammer, or would you use other tools?!” … what a great question for a doctor to ask!! I’m sure you’ll just love Meghan’s answer to this question, “Where am I now?“!

Our Purpose Sphere in the Sage’s Journey

We then went on to a delicious conversation about our Purpose Sage Words, Lines and Sutras. This is a conversation we have been having all week, since our Sage words dropped last weekend, and it’s been so juicy that we decided it would be fun to dedicate a whole Podcast to it.

Here’s how Richard Rudd describes it …

The Sphere of Purpose
Your Purpose is not about doing anything, but simply about being who you are. To discover your Purpose, you must relax into the beauty of your own body and cultivate a sense of inner calm, trust, and joy for being alive. Your Purpose is the essence of your humanity in its most natural and loving state.

We are both so excited by the amazing Sage Words, Lines and Sutras for our Purpose Gene Keys, and we have both been completely awe struck by how perfect they are for both of us.

There were tears, lots of laughter and so much wisdom … from us as well as the Sage teachings!!!

Our Sage Words are Mildness for Meghan, and Affinity for me! I’m not going to tell you what our Sage Lines and Sutras are, because I really want you to hear us talk about them, that way you get to hear the passion!

For me, this was such a powerful conversation. Meghan and I talk every day, and we have really dived into this Sage wisdom together, and I just love that we were able to share this with you.

“Purpose is a puzzle you build through living!” … Why not live a little and listen to us talk about what Mildness and Affinity mean to us, and just how deep we have gone into this inner work.

Default Setting

I had an amazing realisation this week, as I contemplated my Purpose Gene Key. I suddenly saw that the Shadow of Inadequacy is no longer my default setting!! 🤯 This is huge for me. I lived in that place of Inadequacy and not feeling good enough for decades. But no more!! My default setting is now the Gift of Resourcefulness.

This breakthrough, this deep acceptance of myself, has been settling into my heart for days now, and it has been sending ripples through my whole attitude to life. It’s been another of those incredible Gene Keys realisations that have clicked the focus ring round another notch, and EVERYTHING is becoming clearer … I am NOT inadequate! I AM resourceful. Wow!!

When I talked to Meghan about this earlier this week, we both thought it would be an excellent topic of conversation for our Podcast! And it was!! We just loved talking about this whole topic of our attitudes to our Shadows, and about equilibrium, and about how we handle challenges.

We truly hope that this conversation will give you hope … wherever you are on your inner work journey!! It is never too late (or too early) to have breakthroughs and realisations that can change your life!!

We would absolutely love it if you would like to share with us in the comments what your default setting … Shadow or Gift?!

Whimsy

And we ended with our whimsical questions to each other, because … well, why not bring some whimsy and fun into life?!

I really hope that you will love listening to this conversation as much as we loved having it!! Oh my goodness, I love this work so much!! And I love that I am able to share it with my best friend in the world, and that we then get to share it with all of you!

Until next time,
