  SPEAKER_01: Hello and welcome to the Healing Her Story podcast.
• 0:18
  SPEAKER_01: My name is Riva Jean-Paul and I will be your host.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_01: I am a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, coach for women, and interdisciplinary artist.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: And I am so delighted and honored to be here with you today.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: This is the trailer for our podcast, and my intention here is to share a little bit about what you can expect every week on this show.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: My intention with the Healing Her Story podcast is for this to be a safe place and a soft place to land in the craziness of our modern world.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_01: Here we will have real conversations about trauma recovery, somatics, creativity, healing, and what it means to be a woman in this modern day world.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: We'll be discussing all of these topics through the lens of trauma-informed menstrual cycle awareness.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: And those are typically two separate things, but in my world and in this world, we are going to combine those things.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: Trauma-informed, simply meaning that I have the understanding, we have the understanding here that trauma is universal.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_01: Trauma is something that we all have, whether it's a big T or a little T.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: And with that, we understand that trauma has a deep impact on the nervous system.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: And because of this understanding, the way that I hold space and the way that I speak and the way that I carry myself is adjusted in a way that is intended to feel safe and spacious and slow and a much different pace and frequency than the pace that we are mostly living in this modern day world.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: So this is a place where you can slow down, where you can connect a little bit more with yourself.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: And in that process, as we have these challenging and difficult conversations sometimes, it can sometimes allow things to come to the surface.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: It can allow things to come into our awareness.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: And all of those things are very welcome in this space.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: You are so welcome in this space, and all parts of you are so welcome in this space.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Even the parts of yourself that you may judge or push away or lock in a closet and try to ignore or shove down or stuff a press, um, shove aside in some way.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: All of those parts are very welcome here.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: And it is also my intention to welcome all of my parts here as I begin this journey of vulnerability and of teaching and of leading.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: And so I intend to bring all of my parts into this space as well.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: And together we can create a space that is more authentic, that is more real, and in my opinion, feels a lot better on the nervous system.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: Now, as far as menstrual cycle awareness, this is the understanding of cyclical wisdom that life moves in a cyclical rhythm, specifically within the female body and also within the natural world.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: Everything happens in cycles.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Everything we live our life in a constant cycle.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: Menstrual cycle awareness acknowledges this cyclical rhythm that we are all constantly moving through, both internally and externally.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: And I'll share a little bit more about those things and episodes to come.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_01: Just know that that is the understanding that we are approaching these conversations from.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: These conversations are not intended to be therapy.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: Why, while they may bring about healing and understanding in some way, if you find that you are in need of support, I encourage you to reach out, whether it's to myself or to another uh coach or healer or therapist or even a friend or a family member.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: The song that you'll hear for the podcast as we enter and leave the space is a song that I wrote.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: The song is called Reclamation.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: And I wrote this song as part of a program that I hosted in 2024 called the Voice and Womb Project.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: And this project was a beautiful infusion of energy healing, of somatics, of feminine wisdom.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: And I had the honor and the privilege of guiding a small group of women through a four-month journey where we explored the depths of our wombs and of our voices and of the things that we are holding in these spaces.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: We created a music video to the song that I wrote, and each woman, each woman that participated in the program had the opportunity to express themselves in a way of their choosing in this video.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: It is probably one of the most beautiful and amazing and epic projects that I have ever had the honor and privilege to be a part of and to co-create with the universe.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: And it turned out absolutely beautiful.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: And so if you resonate with the song and if you would like to get a little bit more of a sense of what you can expect here, I invite you to check out the video.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: You'll be able to find the link in the show notes.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that is our trailer episode.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: Again, just wanted to give you a little taste of what you can expect here on this show.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm very much looking forward to sharing and connecting with you in episodes to come.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: In the meantime, take care of yourself and take care of each other.
