  Pleasure Is Your Birthright: Transforming Trauma, Libido & the Nervous System with Brooke Bralove

  Sep 29, 202629 min

  What if healing didn’t always require years of retelling your story? In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast , Dana Irvine sits down with psychotherapist and sex therapist Brooke Bralove for a powerful conversation about trauma, the nervous system, intimacy, pelvic pain, libido, and a therapeutic approach called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) . Brooke has spent more than 22 years as a psychotherapist, working with women navigating anxiety, relationships, sexuality, shame, identity, and the transitions that often accompany midlife. Her own experience with ART after a painful breakup led her to train in the modality and eventually incorporate it deeply into her practice. ART uses rapid eye movements and voluntary image replacement to work with distressing memories, images, and the physical sensations connected to them. Brooke explains why understanding a traumatic experience intellectually doesn't always change the body's response—and why addressing the nervous system can be an important part of healing. When the Body Remembers This conversation takes an especially important turn when Dana and Brooke discuss pelvic pain, painful intimacy, and low libido . When intimacy has repeatedly been associated with pain, the body may begin anticipating danger before anything has even happened. A kiss, touch, or initiation of intimacy may trigger guarding, tension, avoidance, or a fight-or-flight-or-freeze response. Brooke shares how ART works with the images and body sensations connected to those experiences and then uses imagery to help create a different emotional and physical response. Midlife, Desire & Reconnecting With Yourself Midlife can bring far more than hormonal changes. Women may be navigating empty nesting, changing relationships, identity shifts, painful sex, loss of desire, career transitions, and the feeling that they simply don't recognize themselves anymore. Brooke sees many women who love their partners but say the “fire” has disappeared. Rather than treating libido as an isolated symptom, this conversation invites women to consider the relationship between desire, emotional history, physical comfort, relationships, and nervous-system safety. Brooke leaves us with a message every woman deserves to hear: “Pleasure is your birthright.” Pleasure isn't something women need to apologize for wanting. Brooke encourages women to recognize their right to seek, experience, communicate, and ask for pleasure throughout every season of life. that ART can be offered virtually or in person, and that Connect with Brooke Bralove Website: brookbraylove.com Instagram: @brookbraylove Connect with Dana Dana Irvine, FDNP Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner • Breast Health Educator • Host of the Wise Divine Women Podcast If you're ready to understand the deeper patterns influencing your hormones, metabolism, breast health, digestion, and whole-body wellness , DanaIrvine.com to learn more or book a Health Clarity Call.

  Return To Your Soul: Reclaiming Your Energy, Self-Trust & Inner Peace with Mary Armendarez

  Sep 27, 202643 min

  What happens when you stop living in survival mode and begin listening to the deeper wisdom within you? In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast , Dana Irvine welcomes Mary Armendarez , author of Return to Your Soul , for a heartfelt conversation about soul-searching, self-love, energy, healing, and learning to trust yourself again. Mary shares her personal journey from years of people-pleasing, trauma, anxiety, and giving her power away to discovering practices that helped her reconnect with herself. She describes reaching a point where she realized she had spent much of her life surviving rather than asking two simple but powerful questions: What am I feeling? What do I need? Mary and Dana explore the mind-body-spirit connection and the importance of paying attention to the signals our bodies give us. Mary encourages women to become curious about physical and emotional patterns rather than continually disconnecting from themselves. The conversation shifts to practical spiritual tools Mary uses in her own life and teaches others, including breathwork, visualization, intention, grounding, energetic boundaries, and working with color. She shares her practice of visualizing violet energy as a symbol of transformation and protection, along with simple rituals you can incorporate into everyday moments—from showering and washing your hands to walking through a doorway. Mary also discusses reconnecting with Mother Earth, balancing what she describes as divine feminine and masculine energies, learning to receive instead of constantly giving, and creating stronger energetic boundaries. Her message throughout the conversation is simple: you have permission to come home to yourself. After years of difficult experiences, Mary describes reaching a place where she can finally say she feels peace and calm. Those experiences eventually inspired her to write Return to Your Soul , which includes guided practices and meditations designed to help readers explore their own healing journey. A Simple Practice to Try Before reaching for your phone tomorrow morning, stop. Take a breath and ask: What am I feeling? What do I need? What is my next step? You don’t need to solve your entire life in one morning. Sometimes transformation begins by becoming present enough to hear yourself again. Connect with Mary Look for Mary Armendarez and her book Return to Your Soul .

  The Power of Love: When Science, Spirit & Nursing Meet with Winston M. Meikle

  Sep 26, 202648 min

  What if love could be more than an emotion? What if intention, presence, compassion, and human connection could shape how we care for one another? In this thought-provoking episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast , Dana Irvine welcomes lifelong nurse and author Winston M. Meikle to discuss his book, The Power of Love: A Nursing Theory — When Science Meets Spirit, a New Kind of Nurse Is Born. Winston’s healthcare journey began while he was still in high school. Just one year after graduating, he became a licensed practical nurse and began what would become a lifelong career devoted to caring for others. Throughout his years at the bedside, Winston noticed experiences and patient interactions he felt traditional nursing education didn't fully explain. He started documenting these observations and asking deeper questions about the role of human connection, intention, energy, compassion, and love in the healing environment. Those observations eventually became the foundation for the nine principles presented in his nursing theory and book. A Different Conversation About Healing One of the most compelling themes in this episode is the distinction between treating a patient and truly connecting with a person . Winston’s nursing theory grew from decades of personal observations in healthcare. He believes nurses can influence the care environment through how they think, interact, communicate, and show up for the people in front of them. His ideas about quantum physics and related scientific concepts reflect his theoretical interpretation of what he has observed throughout his career, rather than established evidence that thoughts or love directly produce specific medical outcomes. But the larger question is powerful: What changes when care is rooted in love rather than fear? For Winston, this means recognizing that nursing involves more than procedures, medications, charts, and clinical protocols. It also involves presence, intention, compassion, relationships, and the energy we bring into an interaction. About the Guest Winston M. Meikle is a lifelong nurse and author of The Power of Love: A Nursing Theory — When Science Meets Spirit , a New Kind of Nurse Is Born. His work brings together decades of observations from his nursing career with his exploration of spirituality, ancient wisdom, and scientific concepts to encourage a love-centered approach to nursing and patient care.

  Choose Yourself Without Guilt: with Katherine Flechaus

  Sep 26, 202627 min

  What if people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking, and self-doubt aren't who you are—but protective patterns you learned along the way? In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast , Dana Irvine welcomes Katherine Flechaus , founder of Aligned Core Life Coaching , for a powerful conversation about limiting core beliefs, the behaviors they create, and what can happen when women finally learn to separate their identity from their patterns. Katherine spent more than 30 years working at the intersection of clinical mental health and behavioral change. But she also recognized these patterns from the inside long before she named them for clients. She was the woman who over-prepared for conversations that should have felt easy and second-guessed her instincts until she felt “sure enough” to speak. “This Is Who I Am” vs. “This Is a Pattern I Can Change” One of Katherine’s most important messages is that awareness alone doesn't necessarily create change. Women often describe themselves by saying: “I’m a people-pleaser.” “I’m a perfectionist.” “I’m an overthinker.” “I have imposter syndrome.” But Katherine encourages women to externalize these reactive patterns. Instead of believing, “This is who I am,” we can begin asking, “What belief is driving this behavior?” When we recognize something as a behavior rather than a personality flaw, we create room for change. Through her Safeguard Profile™ assessment and The Aligned Core Framework , Katherine helps clients identify the specific protective belief behind behaviors such as over-preparing, self-doubt and people-pleasing—and understand where that belief came from before trying to change it. As Katherine says: “We can't be wise and divine if we're exhausted and miserable.” Connect with Katherine Flechaus Katherine works with women who are done managing the pattern and ready to change it.

  Stop Chasing Chemistry: How to Date Smarter, Know Your Worth & Choose Alignment with Jena Jake

  Sep 21, 202626 min

  What if the relationship you keep chasing isn’t actually aligned with who you are—but instead feels familiar because it mirrors an old pattern? In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast , Dana Irvine sits down with Jena Jake , compatibility strategist, former marital therapist, personality assessment expert, and creator of the Love Smarter approach. Jena shares how her own divorce, career transition, and season of profound personal loss led her back to the work she loves most: helping women understand themselves, recognize relationship patterns, establish stronger boundaries, and choose relationships from a place of wholeness rather than fear. The conversation explores why chemistry alone is not enough to build a healthy relationship, especially when attraction can sometimes be connected to patterns formed much earlier in life. Jena introduces her PAWS Method , a powerful self-inquiry tool designed to help women pause before reacting or attaching and ask whether they are choosing from an old wound or from true alignment. She also shares why women need to stop asking, “Does he like me?” and start asking, “Do I like him? Is this relationship actually right for me?” The PAWS Method Jena encourages women to pause and ask: P — Person or Pattern: Is this truly my person, or am I repeating an old pattern? A — Attachment or Alignment: Am I attracted because this feels familiar, or because this person is genuinely aligned with who I am today? W — Wound or Wholeness: Is a wound being activated, or am I responding from a place of wholeness? S — Standard & Serving: Is this relationship meeting my standards? Is this serving my ego and fear, or my soul and possibilities? A Powerful Reminder One of Jena's most important messages is that you are the love you're looking for . A relationship isn't meant to create your worth, validation, identity, or ability to feel loved. The deeper work is learning to cultivate those things within yourself—and then allowing the right relationship to reflect that love back to you. As Jena reminds us: It's not about getting someone. It's about being someone. Connect with Jena Jake Website: JenaJake.com Instagram & TikTok: @jena.jake Look for Jena's upcoming book, Ask Him This , exploring the questions women can ask to better understand who they're dating—while also turning the mirror inward and understanding themselves.
