The Power of Renewal:
How Nature Teaches Us to Heal
Have you ever stood beneath the vast canopy of trees in autumn, watching the leaves gently release their hold and float to the ground? Or listened to the rhythmic waves of the ocean, endlessly ebbing and flowing?
Nature is filled with powerful lessons on renewal, teaching us that healing is not a one-time event but an ongoing, cyclical process.
Just as the earth regenerates itself through the changing seasons, we too can embrace renewal, shedding what no longer serves us and making room for new growth
The Seasons as a Guide to Healing
Each season carries a spiritual message of transformation:
Autumn- Letting Go: Trees release their leaves, reminding us to surrender what no longer nourishes us- old wounds, toxic relationships, self-doubt
Winter- Rest & Reflection: The world slows down, offering us permission to pause, rest, and heal in stillness.
Spring: Rebirth & New Beginnings: Flowers bloom, the earth awakens, and we, too, can embrace new opportunities for growth \
Summer- Flourishing & Joy: The sun is at its peak, encouraging us to fully step into our power and celebrate our healing journey.
When we align our personal growth with the wisdom of nature, we move through healing with more grace and trust.
2. Water Teaches Us to Flow
Have you ever tried to grasp water in your hands? No matter how tightly you hold on, it slips through your fingers. Water teaches us to release control and surrender to the flow of life.
Rivers carve through mountains not by force, but by persistence. Healing is the samegentle yet powerful, requiring patience and trust in the journey
Ask yourself: Where in your life are you resisting change instead of flowing with it?
3. Trees Teach Us Strength & Resilience
A tree’s roots run deep, anchoring it firmly even when storms rage above. Yet, a tree does not resist the wind- it bends, adapting to the forces around it.
Lesson: Healing isn’t about avoiding pain but developing the resilience to withstand life’s storms. Just like a tree, we can be grounded in our truth while remaining flexible in how we navigate our journey.
Healing Practice: Try “Earthing” or grounding - walking barefoot on the earth to reconnect with nature’s energy and stabilize your emotions.
4. The Moon Reminds Us to Embrace Our Cycles
The moon moves through phases - waxing, waning, full, and new. Each phase has a purpose, and none are better than the others
Lesson: Your healing is cyclical. Some days you will feel radiant and whole (Full Moon), while other days you will need deep rest (New Moon) Honor your process
Healing Practice: Journal with the moon’s phases. Set intentions during the New Moon and reflect on your progress during the Full Moon.
5. The Power of Sunlight: Stepping Into Your Light
The sun rises every morning, no matter how dark the night before. It reminds us that healing brings light, warmth, and energy into our lives
Lesson: No matter how lost you feel, the light always returns. Healing isn’t linear, but your progress is real.
Healing Practice: Spend at least 10 minutes int he sun daily for a mood boost and vitamin D, essential for emotional balance.
You are Nature, and Nature is You.

ThePower ofStillness
In a world that constantly demands our attention, movement, and productivity, stillness can feel like an unfamiliar or even uncomfortable concept.Weareconditionedtoequate action with progress, believing that success is measured by how busy we are. But what if the true power lies in the moments of stillness? What if, by pausing, we can find deeper clarity, healing,andtransformation?
TheArtofBeingStill
Stillness is more than the absence of movement; it is a conscious state of being. It allows us to connect with ourselves on a profound level, detaching from external chaos and tuningintoourinnerwisdom Whenwe embrace stillness, we give ourselves permission to just be without expectations, without judgment, and withoutpressure.
Practicing stillness does not mean we abandon our responsibilities or stop strivingforourgoals.Instead,itmeans creating intentional moments of rest and reflection. In these moments, we allow our minds and bodies to reset, gain perspective, and cultivate a senseofinnerpeace.
TheHealingPowerofStillness

RISING AFTER HEARTBREAK
Turning Pain into Power
The Hidden Power of Heartbreak
Heartbreak is one of the most profound and painful experiences we can endure. Whether it’s the end of a romantic relationship, the loss of a loved one, or an emotional betrayal, the pain feels overwhelming. But what if we told you that this heartbreak is not the end of your story- It is the beginning of a new chapter, where you can transform your pain into something powerful?
This article explores how to turn heartbreak into a powerful force for healing, growth, and self-discovery Because while heartbreak can feel like it can break you, it can also be the fuel that propels you towards your greatest transformation
STEP 1: FEEL IT FULLY- ALLOW YOURSELF TO GRIEVE
The first step in rising from heartbreak is to allow yourself to fully feel your emotions Too often, we try to numb or distract ourselves from pain- through work, social media, or even substances But healing cannot begin until we face the hurt directly
Grief is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of strength By acknowledging your feelings and allowing yourself to mourn, you honor the emotional process that is essential to healing
Reflection Exercise:
What emotions am I feeling right now- anger, sadness, betrayal?
What would it feel like to just sit with these emotions without judgment?
Allow yourself the space to cry, reflect, and simply be. Your heart will begin to heal when you let it.
STEP 2: RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF
In the aftermath of heartbreak, we often lose sight of who we are. Our sense of identity can become tangled with the relationship or experience that caused the pain. Now is the time to reconnect with the person you were before this pain consumed you- the version of yourself that is whole, strong, and capable of creating a new future.
Rediscover your passions What did you love before the heartbreak? Was there something you used to do that brought you joy, but you gave up? Start doing it again Whether it’s painting, hiking, dancing, or reading, bring back the things that filled you with light
Affirmation: ‘I am whole and complete I reconnect with my joy and my passions every day ’
By rediscovering the things that once made you feel alive, you can begin the process of healing and reclaiming your true self
STEP 2: RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF
Heartbreak often carries with it a sense of loss, but it also brings a chance to learn Every experience, no matter how painful, holds a lesson It may not be clear right away, but over time, you’ll start to see that your pain holds wisdom
Ask Yourself: What lessons have I learned from this heartbreak?
How did it shape me?
What boundaries or self-love practices do I need to implement moving forward?
How can this experience help me grow as a person?
Remember, you are not a victim of your circumstances; you are a student of life, gaining valuable insights that will make you stronger, wiser, and more resilient
STEP 2: RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF
One of the hardest parts of heartbreak is letting gowhether it’s letting go of the person, the dream, or the vision of the future you thought you would have. But holding on to what is no longer serving you only prevents you from embracing new possibilities.
Forgive and Release
This doesn’t mean you forget the past or condone any hurtful actions, but it means choosing to release the emotional weight that holds you back Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself, not the person who hurt you
Mantra:
CONCLUSION: YOU ARE THE PHOENIX RISING
‘I release the past and welcome the new I let go of what no longer serves me ’
By letting go, you make space for new beginnings- new experiences, relationships, and opportunities to rise even higher than before
STEP 2: RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF
The most empowering part of the healing journey comes when you realize that you have the power to rebuild- and even more- in the face of heartbreak. You are not defined by your pain. Instead, you are defined by how you choose to respond to it.
Set new intentions for your life
Embrace self-love practices like journaling, meditation, and affirmations.
Surround yourself with people who lift you up and encourage your growth.
Remember, you are not alone on this journey You have the support of others who have risen from heartbreak and come out even stronger on the other side
Affirmation:
‘I am stronger than i ever thought possible I rise from the ashes of my past, more powerful, more loving, and more aligned with my true self
Heartbreak may feel like it has broke you, but in reality, it has only made you stronger. Through pain, you have the opportunity to rise, rebuild, and rediscover your truest self. You are a phoenix, burning away the old to make space for a new, powerful version of yourself.
Embrace this time of transformation. Know that the pain you feel now is only temporary, and the strength you gain from it will last a lifetime.

Manifesting a New You: The Power of Intentional Living
Every day, we are given the opportunity to shape our lives, redefine who we are, and step into our highest potential But true transformation doesn’t happen by chance it happens by choice Manifesting a new you requires living with purpose, clarity, and intention When we align our thoughts, actions, and beliefs with what we truly desire, we unlock the power to create the life we envision
What is Intentional Living?
Intentional living is the practice of making conscious choices that align with your values, goals, and personal growth It means being mindful of your decisions and taking deliberate steps toward the life you want to create Rather than living on autopilot or being driven by external expectations, intentional living empowers you to take control of your journey
When you live intentionally, you move from simply wishing for change to actively co-creating it You begin to see yourself as the architect of your life rather than a passive participant
The Role of Mindset in Manifestation
Your mindset plays a crucial role in the manifestation process If you constantly dwell on self-doubt, fear, or limitations, you unknowingly block the very things you desire. Shifting to a mindset of abundance, self-belief, and gratitude allows you to attract positive experiences and opportunities.
Key Mindset Shifts for Manifestation:
Believe in Your Worth: You are deserving of success, love, and happiness. Own it.
Visualize Your Future Self: See yourself already living the life you desire.
Let Go of Limiting Beliefs: Replace negative selftalk with affirmations that empower you
Embrace Growth: Change requires stepping outside of your comfort zone and trusting the journey
Steps to Manifesting a New You 1 Set Clear Intentions
What do you truly want for yourself? Be specific about your goals, whether they involve career, relationships, self-love, or personal growth Write them down and affirm them daily
2. Align Your Actions with Your Desires
Manifestation isn’t just about visualization it requires action Make intentional choices that support your goals If you want to embody confidence, practice self-care, set boundaries, and speak your truth
3. Embrace the Power of Daily Rituals
Incorporating rituals into your routine helps reinforce your intentions Some powerful daily practices include:
Morning Affirmations: Start each day with empowering statements that align with your vision
Journaling: Write about your desires, gratitude, and personal growth journey
Meditation & Mindfulness: Cultivate stillness to connect with your inner wisdom
4. Release What No Longer Serves You Transformation requires letting go of past patterns, toxic relationships, and limiting beliefs Declutter your mind, body, and space to make room for new energy and opportunities
5. Trust the Process Manifestation doesn’t happen overnight Trust in divine timing and continue to move forward with faith and patience The more you stay aligned with your intentions, the more the universe responds in your favor
The Power of Embodiment
Manifesting a new you isn’t just about thinking differently it’s about becoming the version of yourself that aligns with your desires Speak, act, and carry yourself as the person you are becoming The more you embody your future self, the faster your transformation unfolds.
Final Thoughts
You have the power to design your life with intention, purpose, and unwavering belief. Manifesting a new you starts with the choices you make today. So step boldly into your transformation, align with your highest self, and watch as your vision becomes your reality
Action Step: Take 5-10 minutes today to write down your top three intentions for the next 30 days Be specific about what you want to manifest and list one small action you can take daily to align with each intention Keep this list visible and revisit it every morning as a reminder to live intentionally
SHEENA MARIE EDMONDS
In a world that often dims our light, Coach Sheena Marie Edmonds is here to remind us that we were born to shine. As a transformational coach, speaker, and advocate for radical self-love, she has made it her mission to help women step into their power, embrace their authenticity, and radiate from the inside out.
In this exclusive Healing the Goddess Within Magazine cover feature, Coach Sheena shares her wisdom on breaking free from limiting beliefs, cultivating self-worth, and living a life filled with purpose and confidence. She doesn’t just inspire she embodies the very essence of what it means to glow unapologetically.
RAPIDTRAUMARECOVERY
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or unsure of how to reclaim your personal power, this feature is for you. Get ready to awaken your essence, unlock your potential, and start radiating the life you deserve.
HTGWM: Share a bit about your journey and what inspired you to become a coach focused on helping others radiate their best lives?
Edmonds: My journey began with faith and believing that God would order my steps At one of the lowest points in my life, I found myself lost, stuck, and unhappy. Childhood trauma left deep scars, making it difficult for me to trust others I saw ill intentions in everyone around me. In response, I built a wall to protect myself, but in doing so, I also isolated myself, leading to feelings of loneliness and self-doubt.
This emotional burden took a toll on me mentally. I was my own harshest critic, constantly tearing myself down. Looking back, I can now laugh about it, but at the time, it was an incredibly difficult space to be in However, I now understand that every challenge I faced was part of my greater purpose.
One day, in deep reflection, I prayed and told God, “I want better.” I decided to go back to school, thinking that earning another degree would be a step in the right direction. I initially enrolled in Business Administration, unsure of my true calling. However, before my first class even began, I sensed that I was in the wrong place I went back to the drawing board, reviewed the available programs, and landed on Mentoring and Coaching and for the first time in a long while, something felt right As I progressed through the program, I discovered my passion for helping others, providing support, and reminding people that they are not alone.
In 2021, I graduated with a master’s degree, yet I was still uncertain about my next steps. That’s when I turned to self-care, which led me on a transformative self-love journey. Through this process, I learned to love myself again, breaking free from the darkness that once consumed me
My personal breakthrough became my greatest inspiration. I realized that so many people in the world are strong but don’t recognize their strengths They need a cheerleader, a motivator, and an accountability partner someone to remind them of their power and help them push past their limitations.
This realization led me to create Radiate Your Power, a platform designed to ignite the power within each individual. Because when you tap into your true strength, you can live a life of happiness, confidence, and inner peace
RAPIDTRAUMARECOVERY
HTGWM: What does “radiating your power” mean to you, and how can someone start embracing that mindset?
Edmonds: Radiating your life means you are happy where you are in life and you are at complete peace You are in control of your destiny and no longer letting the past affect your future negatively. It’s all about positive vibes.
HTGWM: Were there any pivotal moments in your life that shaped your perspective on personal growth and empowerment?
Edmonds: During my life I experienced childhood physical and sexual abuse which led to bad directions regarding the type of relationships I got myself in. I was married to a narcissist who emotionally abused me. After coming through all the sad and bad parts of life I just wanted to do better and be better. I am driven by the force of letting people know they are not alone
I face most of my dark moments alone, without support simply because I didn’t talk about it. I kept it all inside and would just get upset at God We had many conversations. He said child you are hardheaded, lol, but you gonna learn, and I did learn. The moment I realized my purpose in life was the changing point for me. I knew my purpose was to empower people to grow above it Too many of God’s soldiers are being lost. I made it, now I’m reaching out to help the next person.
HTGWM: What are some common mindset blocks that prevent people from fully stepping into their power, and how can they overcome them?
Edmonds: I believe one common mindset block is the fear of failure. I know I have been stuck in the same place for a long time because I was fearful of the unknown and the “what-if” I failed. You can overcome this by reframing failure as a learning opportunity. I encourage small, courageous actions and celebrate progress rather than perfection. Just take the leap of faith, it is well worth it Another common mindset block would be a lack of self-worth.
When you feel unworthy or not good enough you can keep yourself from fully embracing your full potential You can build on self-worth by practicing selfaffirmations, setting personal boundaries, and surrounding yourself with uplifting environments that reinforce your values.
Healthy boundaries are so important and it's okay to say no. Tell them, yes, I said no, lol. Some others include fear of judgment, overthinking, and falling into the comparison trap. I know staying in the familiar, even if it’s unfulfilling, feels safer than stepping into the unknown. Sometimes we just have to take gradual steps outside our comfort zone to keep moving forward. Growth happens in discomfort, so embrace challenges as a part of your evolution.
HTGWM: How does self-love and self-worth play a role in radiating confidence and joy?
RAPIDTRAUMARECOVERY
Edmonds: Self-love and self-worth are the foundation of confidence and joy. When you truly love and value yourself, you no longer seek external validation to feel worthy you know your worth from within. Some key facts to consider:
1. Inner Validation Leads to True Confidence –When you embrace who you are, flaws and all, you no longer depend on others' approval. This self-assurance naturally radiates confidence.
2. Boundaries Protect Your Energy – Knowing your worth means setting healthy boundaries, which allows you to prioritize your well-being and attract respect from others.
3. Authenticity Becomes Effortless – When you love yourself, you stop pretending to be someone you’re not You embrace your uniqueness, which draws people in and exudes a magnetic presence.
4. A Positive Mindset Cultivates Joy – Selflove shifts your perspective. Instead of focusing on lack, you appreciate your strengths and growth, creating a mindset of gratitude and happiness.
5. You Show Up Boldly – Self-worth gives you the courage to pursue opportunities, speak up, and take action without fear of judgment. Your confidence naturally shines through
6. You Attract Healthy Relationships – Loving yourself sets the standard for how others treat you. When you value yourself, you attract relationships that uplift and empower you.
7. You Handle Setbacks with Grace – Instead of beating yourself up over failures, self-love helps you see them as lessons, allowing you to bounce back stronger.
In short, self-love and self-worth are the keys to radiating confidence and joy because they create an unshakable inner foundation. When you truly believe in yourself, you glow from the inside out.
HTGWM: How can someone heal from past trauma or setbacks while still striving to radiate positivity and strength?
Edmonds: Healing from past trauma or setbacks while striving to radiate positivity and strength requires a balance of selfcompassion, intentional growth, and resilience. It’s about acknowledging the pain while choosing to rise above it. Suppressing pain doesn’t lead to healing. Allow yourself to feel, process, and healthily release emotions whether through journaling, therapy, or talking to a trusted friend
Also, consider reframing your narrative. Instead of seeing your trauma as something that broke you, view it as something that shaped your strength. Shift your mindset from victim to victor Another good way is to practice self-compassion. Be kind to yourself. Healing isn’t linear, and setbacks don’t mean failure.

Edmonds: Starting and ending your day with intentional rituals can help maintain high vibrations, cultivate a positive mindset, and set the tone for success. Practice gratitude in the morning. Before getting out of bed, list 3 things you’re grateful for. Gratitude instantly shifts your energy.
Use affirmations in the morning as well. Speak or write empowering affirmations like “I am worthy, ” “I attract abundance, ” or “Today is filled with joy. ” Don’t forget to hydrate and nourish your body. Drink a glass of water (bonus: with lemon for detox benefits) and fuel your body with a nutrient-rich breakfast. Journaling, meditation, and exercising are all good morning rituals for high vibes and positivity. Write down your goals, dreams, or thoughts, or visualize yourself achieving your desires with ease.

He said child you are hard-headed, lol, but you gonna learn, and I did learn. The moment I realized my purpose in life was the changing point for me. I knew my purpose was to empower people to grow above it. Too many of God’s soldiers are being lost. I made it, now I’m reaching out to help the next person.
Now for your end-of-day routine, you can also journal to reflect and release. Journal about your day, focusing on wins, lessons, and things you’re grateful for. Let go of any negativity. You can practice self-care rituals. Take a warm bath, do skincare, or engage in any soothing self-care routine that relaxes your mind and body. I would also encourage rituals like limiting your screen time, listening to calming music or something inspiring, saying a prayer, and expressing gratitude.
End your day by thanking the universe, God, or yourself for the day’s experiences. Last but not least, I recommend setting up your intentions for tomorrow Write down 3 things you want to focus on the next day so you wake up with clarity and purpose. When you constantly practice these rituals, you’ll maintain a high vibrational state, strengthen your mindset, and radiate positivity effortlessly.
HTGWM: What advice do you have for women who feel stuck or uninspired in their current life or career?
Edmonds: For women who feel stuck or uninspired in their life or career, the key is to reconnect with their power, purpose, and passion. Here are 10 things you can do.
RAPIDTRAUMARECOVERY
Sixth, prioritize self-care and reflection. Burnout and stagnation often stem from neglecting yourself. Make time for self-care, journaling, meditation, or anything that brings you joy and clarity.
Seventh, seek guidance and mentorship. Sometimes, we need an outside perspective. Whether it’s a coach, mentor, or supportive friend, talking about your goals can bring fresh ideas and motivation
Eighth, be open to new possibilities. Your dream job or passion may look different than you expected. Stay open to exploring new paths, skills, or even entrepreneurial opportunities.
First, acknowledge & accept your feelings. Feeling stuck is a sign that growth is calling you. Instead of suppressing it, embrace it as an opportunity for transformation.
Second, reconnect with your “Why” . Ask yourself: What lights me up? What did I once dream of doing? Reconnect with the passions and goals that once excited you.
Third, shift your mindset. Break free from limiting beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “It’s too late.” Replace them with empowering affirmations like “I am capable of creating change” and “I am in control of my life ”
Fourth, take small steps towards change. You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Take small, actionable steps whether it’s signing up for a class, networking, or updating your resume Progress is key

Nine, take bold, aligned action steps Fear and self-doubt may arise, but don’t let them hold you back. Confidence comes from action, not waiting for the “perfect time.” Trust yourself and make a move.
Lastly, number ten, own your power and rewrite your story You are not stuck—you are evolving. This is your chance to redefine your life on your terms. Trust the process, embrace change, and step into the next chapter of your greatness. You are worthy of a life that excites you so go create it!
HTGWM: What’s one lesson or piece of advice you hope to leave with our readers?
One powerful lesson I want to leave with you is this: You are worthy, exactly as you are, and you have the power to create the life you desire. Too often, we wait for the “right time,” the perfect circumstances, or someone else’s approval before stepping into our greatness. But the truth is, your power has always been within you. The moment you start believing in yourself, setting boundaries, and choosing self-love over self-doubt, you’ll begin to radiate confidence, joy, and abundance.
Stop waiting. Start becoming. Trust your journey, embrace your uniqueness, and remember—you are unstoppable.

The Goddess Within You
The goddess within is your truest self the version of you that is unapologetically confident, intuitive, and fully aligned with her worth.

Rising from the Ashes
Rebirth After Trauma: Rising from the Ashes
Trauma has a way of breaking us down, leaving us feeling lost, shattered, and disconnected from who we once were. But within every breakdown lies the possibility of a breakthrough. Like the phoenix, we have the power to rise from the ashes, stronger, wiser, and more resilient than before.
The Power of Rebirth
Rebirth after trauma is not about forgetting the past it’s about transforming pain into power. It’s about choosing to heal, to reclaim your life, and to step into a version of yourself that is no longer defined by what happened to you but by how you choose to move forward.
Steps to Rising Again: Acknowledge Your Strength – You have survived what once felt unbearable That alone proves your resilience
Release What No Longer Serves You – Let go of shame, guilt, and self-blame Your past does not define you.
Rebuild with Intention – Create a life that aligns with the person you are becoming. Choose healing, joy, and purpose.
Surround Yourself with Support – Healing is not meant to be done alone. Seek community, therapy, or spiritual guidance.
Embrace Your New Beginning – This is your chance to rewrite your story on your terms. Walk boldly into your rebirth.
You Are Not What Happened to You
Your trauma may have changed you, but it does not own you. You are the author of your next chapter, and it’s time to rise. The ashes of your past are merely the foundation for the powerful, unbreakable soul you are becoming.
