Grown Up By The Most Powerful Women In The World with Holly Rhodes

What happens when you’re on a very straighty one eighty trajectory climbing the conditioned tiers of Christion upbringing, devoted wife, mother and Corporate CEO and then for the first time you take magic mushrooms at a festival in Portuagal and you have your mind blown out of the crown of your head, along with everything that was programmed into you to that point, and suddenly all you thought life was, is no longer holding true? For Trauma-Informed Educator, Holly Rhodes it set in motion an odyssey of grand exploration - uprooting everything in her luxurious very corporate London life to find out what the hell happened in that pyschedelic experience and found herself going so deep into different spiritual studies, to living life between her new found place in the Kimberley region of northern Australia as well as with the phenomenal Aboriginal Women Elders of Balgo, who schooled her about life, the universe and everything, in one of the most remote Indigenous communities, with some of the most powerful law and knowledge keepers, in the world. This is a story of going where you never thought your life could go, to places and people you didn’t even know existed, by giving yourself permission to simply step through those doors one after another as they open up in front of you and find a purpose that no school counsellor ever offered up as possibility. Special and vital acknowledgment to the Law Women of Kapululangu and Auntie Alison and the Mutitjulu Law Women for the work they do with the women's culture camps.
