Dear Journeyer,
Welcome back to another episode of The Awakening Woman: Ready to Thrive.
Before we crack on with today’s episode, I just want to say a huge thank you and acknowledge everyone who has been listening to the podcast.
I noticed a beautiful surge in listens for Ep02 this week—thank you for receiving it. It was one of the most personal pieces I’ve shared, and honestly, I felt so exposed and vulnerable afterwards.
And I know that the kind of work that I do doesn’t always come with lots of likes and comments, but I can see behind the scenes, the quiet data and soul metrics that let me know it’s landing.
So, if listening to an episode or this series as a whole, moves something in you, I’d love it if you passed it along to someone who’s also walking the path of becoming.
Thank you once again, and now to today’s episode.
What happens when a woman finally crosses the threshold of self-abandonment—and chooses herself?
In this rich and resonant conversation, I’m joined by visionary, healing coach, and creative force Marcy Neumann — who brings more than 50 years of hard-won wisdom to the table.
Together, we explore what it truly means to cross the sacred threshold into self-love, especially after years (or decades) of people-pleasing, performing strength, and putting others first.
Marcy shares with honesty and grace:
The difference between self-care and true self-love
How our bodies signal when we’ve been betraying our truth
What it means to mother without martyrdom
Why courage doesn’t always feel brave, but always leads us home
Whether you’re navigating your own turning point or simply longing for deeper alignment, this episode is an invitation to remember that you are allowed to choose you. You can find out more about Marcy and where to find her by reading her bio at the end of this post.
Crossing that threshold is not selfish — it’s sacred.
