Voices of Courage with Ken D. Foster - Episode 157 [Part 2]: The Courage to Find the Antidote for Stress and Worry with Kerri Hummingbird

Today, in part two of a two-part series with Kerri Hummingbird, we discuss releasing stress, anxiety, and worry, and healing the Mother Wound.

 

Our personal reality is typically constructed from a very limited point of view based on our own personal experiences and conditioning. The stories that we tell ourselves that align with this reality sometimes propel us forward into success while other times they keep us stuck right where we are and often hold us back from living a life of fulfillment and purpose.

This reality may be continuously creating a lot of unnecessary stress, anxiety, worry, and fear in our lives. What we have to do is let go of the delusions that we are caught up in and learn to tune into the power of the superconscious mind in order to get rid of the stories that disempower us, create conflict in our lives, hurt our relationships, and stop us from healing.

My guest, Kerri Hummingbird, is a Soul Guide, shamanic healer, inspirational speaker, #1 international best-selling author, and the host of Soul Nectar Show who inspires people to lead their lives wide awake with an authenticity, passion, and purpose that positively impacts others. She joins me today to discuss what the Mother Wound is, how it relates to people being unable to make changes in their lives, and how we can find the courage to heal it, reclaim our power, and turn our wounds into wisdom.

 

We Discuss:

  • What the Mother Wound is and how it makes people unable to make changes in their lives
  • Why healing the Mother Wound takes courage and what’s on the other side of healing it
  • Reclaiming our power, honoring our mothers, and mending the sacred hoop of humanity
  • How we can embrace our inner fierceness and bring fierce love to our families and communities
  • Understanding the powerful role mothers play in their children’s development and in humanity
  • Learning how to quiet our mind’s critical naysayer and feel confident and empowered

 

“When you’ve been telling the same story for your whole life and you’ve built evidence that it’s true, it’s really hard to then clear the slate and go, ‘Maybe I actually don’t know what’s true. Maybe all of that only happened because I was telling a story about my mom that was based on some early childhood things that I don’t even remember that started gaining momentum like a snowball down an avalanche, and it created this reality of her, in my mind, being a certain way.’”  –  Kerri Hummingbird

“This work is twisty and turny, and your ego has a million deflections for it and a million stories. We need each other to keep ourselves sane as we go through the untangling. There’s a lot of pieces that need to be unwoven, pulled apart, and opened, and the only way to really do this work is you have to be safe enough and held enough with love and compassion and forgiveness in a community space or with a mentor that you can actually peel back these layers because they are very tender. This is not the kind of work that you’re going to do over the weekend, it’s going to take time. This work is very much about revealing what you’re doing by default that you don’t even know you’re doing, that’s causing relationship challenges and preventing you from deepening into a space of intimacy and vulnerability with the people in your life, including yourself. ”  –  Kerri Hummingbird
