How to be the ultimate creator of your life
This week’s show is with Dr. Carolyn Elliott. Carolyn has helped thousands of people dramatically change their lives for the better via her online programs and private coaching. She’s done this through using applied Hermetic philosophy, ritual magic, and a cutting-edge twist on Jungian psychology. She’s the author of the rising new phenomenal book Existential Kink: unmask your shadow and embrace your power (Weiser, 2020) and the cult-favourite creativity handbook, Awaken Your Genius.
Dr. Elliott currently co-leads WEALTH with her husband, ninjutsu expert and rune magician, Taia Kheper. WEALTH is an exclusive, application-only membership where leaders and influencers come into their full power via the alchemy of the psyche and hilarious and sexy social games. She also leads Game of Sovereigns, an Existential Kink Coach Training and Certification program. She earned her doctorate in Critical and Cultural Studies from the University of Pittsburgh where she taught for 7 years, and currently resides in her hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with her family.
In this show we explored how our kinks relate to childhood trauma, when we’re best served by healing our wounds rather than moving straight into discovering the kinky pleasure in the things we have in our lives that we say we don’t want and how all of this relates to seeing how we can live as the ultimate creator of our lives.
This was just as much a juicy episode as the last one with Carolyn – which is saying a lot!
I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.
What you’ll learn from this episode:
It’s important to grieve and move through childhood trauma before we move into using Existential Kink practices to move into a different way of being
The amount of pleasure we can experience is directly correlated with the depth of sadness we’re willing and able to feel
Carolyn holds it that her soul was curious to experience the kind of childhood pain that she had – this is a radical level of ownership to have over our experience and for many it will be a confronting idea and yet the sense of agency it can provide is incredibly powerful
There’s a level of readiness we need to bring to this work… we could call that a connection to the divine and to the body.
Ultimately to have divine power we need to be willing to take divine responsibility.ng!
