Ep. 103 What Happens After You’re Regulated? On Finding My Voice During a Traumatic Event

What happens when the part of you that used to freeze, fawn, or second-guess yourself suddenly finds its voice? And what if that voice is fiercer than anything you knew you had access to? In this episode, Christina Gomes shares a deeply personal story about witnessing animal abuse, finding the courage to speak up, and experiencing a fierce kind of empowerment she connects with the Egyptian goddess Isis. Through this experience, Christina explores what it means to activate your voice toward your mission, move beyond old patterns of fear and fawning, and discover who you get to be when you’re no longer letting those patterns make your choices for you. This conversation goes beyond nervous system regulation. It asks what becomes possible *after* you’re regulated. What qualities can you embody? What are you willing to stand for? And how might the experiences that once sidetracked you become part of your expression, your creativity, and the work you bring into the world? Christina also explores the relationship between spirituality, psychology, creativity, and business, including why your platforms are about more than marketing. They’re a space to express what matters, share your message, and bring people into deeper connection with your work. Because your voice isn’t just a tool for attracting clients. It’s part of how you create change in the world. **In this episode, we explore:** - Activating your voice toward your mission and purpose - Moving beyond fear, fawning, and second-guessing yourself - What nervous system regulation makes possible beyond simply feeling calm - Working with archetypes and spiritual practices as pathways to empowerment - Turning painful experiences into conscious expression without trauma dumping - Why your platforms are both a marketing tool and a space for creative freedom - The connection between self-empowerment, client attraction, and the work you’re here to do This is an invitation to stop treating your voice as something you need permission to use, and to start exploring what becomes possible when you trust yourself to speak, create, and stand for what matters.

Ep. 102 How To Become Referable To High Paying Clients (Without Needing Years Of Therapy)

What do you want your name to mean in rooms you’re not in? If you want more word-of-mouth in your business, the answer isn’t necessarily to become less multidimensional. It’s to become recognizable. You can be interested in many things. You can have layers, depth, different offers, different ways of working, and a whole human life happening behind your business. But if people can’t easily put words around what you do, they can’t easily refer you. Word-of-mouth requires words. In this episode, Christina explores what it means to become a Word-of-Mouth Woman by getting clear on the ideas, experiences, and transformation you want your name associated with. Because your audience is not responsible for assembling your reputation for you. You are . This is an invitation to ask better questions about what you want to be known for, what people come to you for, and what you want people saying about your work when you’re not in the room.

Ep. 97: Q&A on activating your voice to attract better clients

You can have the best offers in the world, but if clients can't feel you, they can't hire you or buy from you. Let's go ask questions live. We cover the four dimensions of your most magnetic voice and answer these questions: - I have so many stories… how do I know which one to share first? - What if I’m not a “good” writer—can I still tell powerful stories? - How honest is too honest when I’m telling personal stories? - What if my story is still messy and unresolved—can I still share it? - I’ve changed so much.

Ep. 96: I Wasn’t Healed, But I Launched Anyway (And Made $50K Telling the Truth)

You don’t have to be fully healed to be heard. In this live, I’m sharing the real story behind one of the most surprising $50K launches I’ve ever had—during a time when I felt the least ready, confident, or clear. It wasn’t strategy. It wasn’t hustle. It was a story. Told from the edge. And it changed everything. If you’ve been quietly waiting until you’re “ready” to rise, come sit by this fire. We’re talking voice, resonance, and the power of storytelling when it’s raw, alive, and ready to move people into your work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edge & Embers http://www.freeyourcreativity.org/edgeandembers My Book: The Monk, The Mushrooms & The Toad https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D6DHDZ94/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr= Free Soulprenuer Success Course www.freeyourcreativity.org/freeforyou Join The Conscious Creative Business School All the ways to Work With Me : www.freeyourcreativity.org/letscreate Apply for mentorship: https://www.freeyourcreativity.org/applyccbs Connect With Me Website: https://www.freeyourcreativity.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.mystical.muse/ Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIjmChJOFZSFcWNuyg6c7tg Resources FREE Resources to attract clients this week: https://www.freeyourcreativity.org/ freeforyou This podcast is hosted with Kajabi Kajabi Affiliate Link: https://app.kajabi.com/r/SSzzWjbb/t/x89bjuam
