The Sounds of the Rising Rochelle Hubbard The Sounds of the Rising is a space for women: a space for women to sit in conversation, and a space for those listening to hear the voices, the sounds, of the women who are rising. Women who are rising to the call to step into their truth, to remember, and know deeply inside of them their worth, and to claim the sovereignty, the freedom, and the resulting abundance that they are worthy of. Women are recognising, right now, in these times, the need to rewrite their stories and reclaim what is rightfully theirs. Here, in this space, we come together as we rise.

Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine Whitney Walker My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions. After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us. Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together wh Women Beyond Walls Hueman Group Media Around the world, nearly one million women are behind bars — and that number is rising. Often this is not for serious crimes, but because they are poor, because they’ve survived violence, or because the system failed them long before a conviction. Women Beyond Walls is a podcast that takes you beyond tired prison stereotypes to listen to real-life stories from incredible individuals: from women who have lived through incarceration, as well as from those reimagining what justice could look like.
