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.

We have been taught to seek love, power, and validation outside ourselves. To radically embody love is to know the truth of who we are.

Alright everybody, I thought I had a pretty solid idea of how I was going to formulate this topic into an episode...yet after editing I'm not sure that it actually adds up to a cohesive thought. Hopefully it's not a totally loss and someone gets something out of it! The point I was hoping to explore is that as humans we're not one dimensional. We'r…

Patience is a virtue....I often want to follow this statement with "...that I have very little of." Although I realize its benefits, patience has never been my strong suite.

All Women are Mothers. Perhaps not through birthing & raising a child yet our energy and essence is inherently a soothing and comforting experience for all beings we come in contact with. Women are natural nurturers. And any human of any gender has at least some of that Divine Feminine energy to care, unconditionally, for others. Of course deep gra…

During a morning meditation this week I asked the Divine for a message of guidance or direction and I immediately got the word, "forget." I was confused at first, forget what? Isn't it better to remember things so you can learn from them? Further insight came in and I realized the message was to forget who you used to be and what you used to hold a…

I'm kicking off a Divine Feminine mini series on Trust. Trust in yourself, your path, process, spiritual evolution, wisdom, & beyond.

Have you ever told yourself; never again! I won't be fooled again, I won't get hurt again, I will not fall for something that my intuition tells me is off!

Walking the path of a Spiritual Awakening is not for the faint of heart. The surprises, challenges, discomforts, and devastations that litter this path is enough to stop anyone in their tracks.

The Guarded Heart. It's what keeps up fro truly expressing our love and essence out into the World and towards the people around us. The exact act that can change Humanity is so often held back out of fear. Why? Because when we believe that rejection, loss, and heart break is personal it can feel like death to endure it. Therefore it's important to…

Love is not something we need to find, accumulate, or protect. It is something that we inherently possess, and the only way to receive it fully is to give it away.

The overwhelming levels of abuse against Women currently & historically is deeply devastating to all of us who wish for greater security & peace for Females.

Whew...this eclipse energy must be getting to me. If you made it through the episode, I apologize for all the F bombs! It is an intense topic though & I got pretty fired up. Trauma responses.

It can be very fun to work with our gifts. To explore how we can recognize our ability to see, hear, feel, taste, and smell things that bring information that should be unexplainable. Yet it distinctly tells us a story. My guest this week, Eboni Banks, discovered a very rare psychic ability when she found that when she laid hands on people in her w…

It often takes diving head first into all the sticky, messy, & unhealthy means of coping in life to gain spiritual understandings & reach a state of enlightenment.

We've made it to the 7th Sword of Self Entrapment and NO, it's not a repeat. The 1st Sword was Self Doubt, the down trodden cousin of today's Sword, the Sword of Self Criticism. While Self Doubt may feel like an eeyore, woe-is-me mentality, Self Criticism feels like a cruel & unkind commentator who's only purposing is to scare you into believing yo…
