Connecting With Nature’s Wisdom
Episode 10: Amanda Kemp on Trees and Transitions
What could the trees tell you if you stopped to listen? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, you’ll hear host Elizabeth Cush and Dr. Amanda Kemp talk about life transitions and listening to the world’s wisdom.
Show Notes:
Imagine spending a career, a life immersed in a mission. You’re focused, you’re passionate. You share it with the world. It’s intertwined with your identity, your brand. And then you receive a message suggesting that you take a break and explore a different direction. Imagine how soul-shaking that might be. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman (previously Woman Worriers) podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Dr. Amanda Kemp Sol Plant Walker Fire Woman, the founder and host of the Mother Tree Network podcast and Racial Justice from the Heart. Listen closely to their profound conversation about transformation, returning to our deeper wisdom and working through discomfort to show up in the world in new ways that reflect our authentic selves.
