The Opportunity
The Opportunity is a podcast for women who are ready to look at what they need to see to feel consistently embodied, empowered, and expressed as no one other than themselves. When we begin embracing, accepting, and loving ourselves powerfully enough to stop avoiding all the energy leaks that keep us from standing in integrity with our radical self-responsibility, we re-open that line of communication with source/the universe and become receptive to the vision that pulls our heart forward.
Every experience is an opportunity to embody more of yourself, trust yourself and your life, and open up more of your heart to be more receptive. Remember this, your unique frequency is the only frequency you can create your reality from.

I'm your host, hila, and I'll be leading you through the difficult conversations that we need to have in order to feel embodied, empowered and expressed as no one other than ourselves, than ourselves. This podcast is an invitation to rise up to your soul's knowing that everything on your path is, in fact, an opportunity to embody more of yourself, to refine your frequency and to align with the vision that you've been gifted. Remember, you're not here to be anyone other than yourself, and the only way to plug into the magic that awaits you on your path is to plug into who you authentically came here to be Ready for more. Let's get into it. For more, let's get into it.
Speaker 1:Hello, my loves, on today's episode, I'm going to be in deep conversation with Lorraine Carpentier. Lorraine was a client. She guides women to embody radical self-love and integrity. She's also a student and a guide of human design. Lorraine has the soul of an artist, the soul of a writer. You're going to hear how beautifully she expresses her experiences, and that may just be because she is an emotional authority in human design. She's also a manifesting generator 6-2. I think you're going to really love this very grounded and mature and rich conversation that we're about to have, so I hope you enjoy. Thank you so much, lorraine, for being here with me on this podcast episode.
Speaker 2:Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1:So Lorraine and I worked together, I believe, towards the end of last year, in 2023, and a bit in the beginning of this year, 2024. And I believe it's funny because I know that we did a couple of things, so I don't really remember too much, but I I'm not sure if we started in human design together. Yes, I don't know if you were. Was it the opportunity?
Speaker 2:No, we started with human design reading.
Speaker 1:A human design reading.
Speaker 2:Yeah, in May 2023. Yeah, yeah, yeah in May 2023. Yeah, yeah. And then later I took I think it was the opportunity yeah In, fall, yeah together, okay.
Speaker 1:And then it kind of evolved into a mentorship that had human design, but it kind of dove into other parts as well and I think that a huge part was um mother wound work yes, a lot yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:so I'm curious to know. Maybe we can start a little bit before the human design reading and then kind of transition into the space between the human design reading and then the opportunity, and then yeah, and then beyond that, but let's start with pre-human design reading, so that would be like in the beginning of 2023. Can you share a little bit about what you were moving through in your life? When we have these little nudges where, um, yeah, where we reach out or where we start to connect and seek out information, it's because our body's trying to create something for our lives. So I'm curious about where you were before, pre the human design reading yeah, so I was in Mexico.
Speaker 2:It was my first big trip by myself and I was supposed to go there for a month and I ended up being there for several months and it was such an adventure and it was extremely intense. I went there because for the years before that, I was really really into healing. Years before that, I was really really into healing but I felt like I was a little addicted to healing and getting better and working through very heavy emotions and I felt stuck at one point of depressed. So I decided to choose more adventures and joy, and that's the context where I just left for Mexico.
Speaker 2:I bought a ticket for a retreat, I went there it was amazing and then I felt called to the beach and the ocean and I went to live there for a while and I already had discovered human design a little before with you, like almost a year before that, and I knew I would work with you at some point I didn't know when, but I knew and I was following you on Instagram and, yeah, and when I was in Mexico, at one point I was holding space for a women's circle and I met another woman that was into human design and I felt it was the time I felt really called to learn a lot more about it, and I did my own chart and I studied it for many months, and then I saw one of your offers for reading and I came for a reading with you.
Speaker 2:So that's the storyline, and more a little about the state I was in before we met. I was processing many traumas and, at the same time, I was trying to empower myself by being more autonomous. I was starting to build my own business. I started women's circles online and in person, and I was trying to start to build a new life for myself, a life that was more in sync with who I am, and I was still discovering who I am. So, yeah, it was an intense moment.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you said something really interesting, how, in regards to, like, the state of being where you felt like you were dealing through, dealing with right, like facing some of your traumas as well as trying to empower yourself, and that made me remember, remember, like my phase in life when I was experiencing that and such a tricky phase. It's like you're aware of your trauma but you don't necessarily know what to do with it, and you can feel it in your body and then comes the empowerment right. It's like this one thing that you know how to do, which is like be you know you're a cheerleader and believe in yourself and begin to be comfortable with fears and also trying to develop your confidence. And I'm curious about how deepening your understanding of how your body functions as a woman, how did that help you work with those traumas?
Speaker 2:For me it brings me back to remodeling myself, because I studied a lot the menstrual cycle and I tried to connect with my intuition and feel everything I was feeling in my body.
Speaker 2:But it's like everything was fragmented and it was hard to work with who I am as a woman when I was still in that state where it was almost like black or white, like I'm victimized. I'm struggling to heal from my trauma on one side and on the other side I'm really looking forward to empower myself and, like you said, I'm my own cheerleader and the duality of it made it really hard to feel like a woman, to feel whole and to be and to feel like I was progressing and empowering myself. And that's why it brings me back to remodeling myself, because when I started that process, I was able to connect everything together, everything together and to bridge those parts that were always separated in an extreme or another. And I think that's when I started to feel like I was becoming a woman and I was able to work from this space of my identity. Yeah, before that I was the little girl or I was like dreaming, hoping for something better, but without actually having the tools and the inner state to be able to create the life I wanted.
Speaker 1:Yeah that's so well said. Um so, with that said, do you believe that there is a way for women to feel that sense of wholeness that you're talking about, without the remothering piece?
Speaker 2:in my opinion, it's hard. I really believe that the remodeling piece as a woman is such an essential process. Knowledge For me how I can describe it is when I started to cultivate my inner mother and embody it. I was able to create a space where I was able to feel all the pain, and I really needed that. I really really needed that and I was able to feel the pain and let it out of my body in a way that was truly healing and yeah, in a way that was truly healing. I think as a woman, we accumulate a lot of pain and in the world we are in, we don't learn to be a woman and there's not a lot of space to really be a woman, and so we accumulate a lot of pain, and I'm looking for other words frustration and and frustration.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't have all the words, but we accumulate so much and we need to create a space inside ourselves where we can feel all of that and feel safe while feeling all of that, and then it's like a cleaning process and you start to really discover yourself and be yourself.
Speaker 1:so, yeah, for me it goes hand in hand and being a woman and remodeling ourselves when you were saying that, the image that came to mind is like when a child is sad or crying and they put their head on their mother's lap and their mother, you know, caresses them and lets them know that it's safe for them to feel, and for a lot of women that didn't have that, it creates this sense of unsafety, right, like you mentioned, and the safety is needed. How do you feel about the thought of acquiring more information to solve your problems as a woman, or do better, or be better? Right, and I'm asking this because I can sense that there was a transition where you were really intentionally, with good intention, trying to be a better person and heal your traumas and empower yourself so that you could live the life that you wanted to live, and I believe honestly that that's how every woman starts like. That's how I started too. What do you feel that continuously doing that does to a woman?
Speaker 2:it's like your life is led by an external processes instead of internal, of an internal process, and you can always look for new tools and new healing tips and like there's so much. You can dance, you can breath, work, you can go and retreat a couple times a year, like you can do everything. But for me, the the only really really important piece was the remodeling process and the human design also. I would say they were both very important for me to to get on the other side of the transition and it's like to get on the other side. I have to trust fully my body to lead me to the tools I really really needed and have a lot of discernment about it.
Speaker 2:And because at the end, it's not so much and we already have almost everything inside of us. It's the capacity to feel, the capacity to create safety, the capacity to take a line decision, and it all comes from within. And and decision and it all comes from within. And yeah, and for that I think the remothering process is like the basis to be able to trust the, this internal process that is that is going to lead you everywhere you really need to be and you don't have to do everything and be a specialist of everything and learn everything, and it brings so much more clarity about your own path and so much more ease and trust and relaxation that you can just follow your body and how you feel. So, yeah, that's what I would say yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So just for everyone that's listening, as, as you mentioned, we started with the human design reading and then, later on last year, we did continue with human design, but there was something that changed or that came up in our conversations and our sessions that led us to begin talking about the mother wound and the remothering process, and I'm not sure if it was. I think it was, but I need your confirmation if it was like your inner voice, the voice that you hear, right, how you relate to yourself internally. Um, do you remember, if it was that?
Speaker 2:yeah, I, I, yeah. I kept hearing like a voice inside of me. That was very harsh and that would critic me and would be really mean and I didn't know how, how to handle.
Speaker 1:Handle it yeah and live with it yeah, yeah and oh yeah.
Speaker 2:I remember and it started like a inner spiral and I would go into the um confusion like I would. I would tell myself I was so confused and then I would stay stuck in this spiral because I I believed I was confused. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:So this is so important, right, because of what you said before, of like how the remothering process without that we can't trust our bodies. And I think, to like really bring it down into practical terms for listeners our inner dominant voice as women is the voice of our mother or our dominant caregiver. So the relationship that your mother had with you as a child is the relationship that you have with yourself, right? And if you have a relationship with yourself that feels unsafe and unstable and disempowering, you're not going to trust yourself, you're not going to trust your processes or your life or how you navigate life or the way that you make decisions. So really connecting that bridge and establishing that bridge of trust is, like you said, the first thing that's needed, or else human design doesn't even work right Like because then in human design terms, then that means the not self voice is so loud that you don't even know what your authority feels like like.
Speaker 1:There's no way to trust your authority because the not self voice is so loud so really alchemizing. That inner dominant voice is the foundation for, I think, any methodology out there. Right, right.
Speaker 1:So, it's if we receive an astrology reading like that doesn't matter because of our inner voice, is disempowering and leads us to not trust ourselves. Like what does the reading matter? Right? And so I thought it was really beautiful, like, like you mentioned, human, um, human design is important because it allows us to have the knowledge to understand how we function as unique human beings, but then the remothering leads us to trust that differentiated way of functioning. Um, and I'm curious to know, um, if you would like to share a little bit more about your mother wound journey and how that's affected you as a creative person, as a highly intuitive person that kind of like me just goes off in the world based on your intuition and travels without needing a you know a ticket back. So, yeah, just how? How has working with the mother wound affected you with all of that?
Speaker 2:there's really a before and after, um and after. I worked a lot with the mother wound with you. I like to say that, like after a few months of really practicing the remodeling process and like every time I would hear this voice of my mother wound inside myself, I would try to go on my yoga mat or go in my bed and somewhere I feel safe and comfortable and feel what was under this voice and calm down this voice and let my inner child feel all the sadness, the frustration, the anger, whatever it was, and the more I did that, the more the mature voice, the woman voice, emerged and it was louder. And the voice of my authority and my body's intelligence, all of that was louder and easier to follow. And I like to say that after that started kind of a refoddering process, which is for me like the relationship with universe, with my father, sky and, and at that point I was able to trust that the universe was bringing exactly the right opportunity for me and I was able to be more patient, because sometimes it was really hard because I have an emotional authority and I have to wait and go through the wave and before taking a decision. And it was really hard because I have an emotional authority and I have to wait and go through the wave and before taking a decision. And it was really hard because sometimes it was very scary. I didn't have a lot of money or I didn't have a long-term place to stay, so sometimes it got really scary and I really needed to trust in this divine father figure too.
Speaker 2:And now I can see that if I didn't have my inner mother that brought me so much force and so much trust into myself and my body, I wouldn't have been able to follow the universe, um, the path that it was giving me.
Speaker 2:I think I would have, like I think my insecurities would have won over me and maybe made me make me take another direction before working with my mother wound, and so that's something that I witnessed more in my life since a couple of months, it's like I feel I'm working with both of my divine parents and there's so much more trust and everything in my life just makes so much more sense also, which is really important for me, and yeah, so it.
Speaker 2:It really changed a lot. Um, like I didn't before, I would ask myself questions that I don't ask myself anymore. Like I would ask myself, well, what should I do to achieve that goal, or what should I do to this or that? And now I know I received the information in my body, or the father universe gives me something like bring someone in my life or show me an ad on Facebook or something, and I just know. So I just have to actively take good care of myself on a daily basis and keep going with my remodeling process, and I know that father universe is there and he's telling me what to do and where to go, and everything is so much easier and I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah no, it's such a beautiful explanation. I love that. I feel like there's so much more. I want to ask One moment.
Speaker 1:I'm also curious how it affected your voice, because you write a lot, right, and so you are a writer. You do write a lot and you share your writings online, right? So I know that, as content creators or people who also have a business online, a lot of the times we're thinking about kind of like what you said, right, like what do I do to get that thing? Versus really acknowledging the creativity that lives within your body and allowing that to be expressed in an unfiltered way and also trusting what that creative expression, where it's going to lead you and what doors it's going to open for you without manipulating it. So I'm curious about that because, for everyone listening, lorraine is. She spends days writing. So it's not, it's not, she's writing.
Speaker 1:I'm not talking about writing a post. I'm talking about, like hours, days, you know, being in nature and writing, nature and writing, and when I hear a woman talk about that, I automatically see her as someone who has understood that she is a channel for creativity or a vessel, for a source to move. Through her, and with that responsibility comes certain understandings that this thing that's moving through you is not meant to be manipulated or forced or pressured. So in that deconditioning process there's usually like this internal conflict or war between the ego and the knowing or the wisdom. Right, and it's not an easy process. But, as you mentioned, I know that the more that you trust your body and the deeper your relationship with your body becomes, the more you surrender to how you're in co-creation with this creative muse or this creative expression, as well as with life around you. So I'm curious about your journey with that as well like my creative expression journey.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's such a beautiful journey. Um, I think one thing that was important for me to learn is that I'm a 6'2 in human design, still in my first phase as a tree, as a trial and error, because sometimes I would write about a subject a lot and I would start to share about that subject on social media and then at one point I felt like I had to take another direction and I was always so frustrated with it because I didn't accept that. I was still in the phase where I try something and then I change direction and I try something else, and it brought me so much peace to know that, okay for now, now that's it. Like, don't, don't think that this subject is going to be like your life goal or your purpose. Um, for now, just try and have fun with it and just trust whatever subject is coming into your life and knowledge, because everything I write about is always things I experience and I feel really inspired by it and I have some breakthrough, and I was a.
Speaker 2:I was a teacher and a philosophy professor before, and so I still have this, but I was always like that. I like to play with the knowledge and explain it in a clear way and synthesize it, and so I still do that, and and one thing also I've been playing with is allowing myself to try different expressions, because for years I was all about writing and in the last year I've been trying some new things, trying to work a little more with my voice in the last few months, and it's very interesting. Also, and something that amazed me is like, whatever the method I use, I'm always inspired, always, and I think it has to do with all the work I put inside myself to really really be myself and trust and feel everything I have to feel, because every time, like, if I feel blocked for and it doesn't happen really often and it doesn't last long when it happens but if I do feel blocked, I just know I have to feel something, and then, on the other side, I feel inspired again. And so the remodeling process was a beautiful tool for me, because when I felt blocked, I knew I just had to lay down somewhere, feel and then like it would open and and after a little session I would do it myself. I would be able to write again for hours, and I think it's really important knowledge that comes out from me, and sometimes I share it, sometimes I write for myself.
Speaker 2:That's something I had to learn, also because when I started to publish a lot on social media, I it's like I lost my own individual creative process that was just for me and I had at some point to come back to that and not lose my individual practice and like share everything, because sometimes there's things that are just for me and sometimes sometimes I write to gain clarity about something inside myself and it's not always knowledge or information I want to share, and I think it's something I was able to finally integrate.
Speaker 2:I feel I'm more balanced, I'm able to create for myself when I need to, and I'm able to create and express publicly and when I feel it's right and to differentiate it doesn't come from the same place inside of me. It's not the same need, it's not. It's not the same, but it's always connected because everything I can work and create just in my own privacy at some point I always share something about it, but sometimes it's just not ready and I have to take care of it and nurture it for a while and be at peace with that and yeah, yeah yeah, that patience is something that's learned.
Speaker 1:I don't think that that's something that people just randomly have.
Speaker 1:Right, patience is definitely something that's learned, and in the industry there's a lot of like rush and pressure and push to overachieve and what you know. Whatever the norm is in the industry, which is also very homogenized, right, it's like there's one norm for everybody. In the industry. It's not differentiated that much, and so I actually believe something that I'm kind of understanding now is that patience is required for differentiation to take place, because if you are living your life, then you're living a life of the unknown, like there's no way around it, because you're living a life that has never been lived, nobody else has an example of, nobody else is an example of the life that you're going to live.
Speaker 1:Um, and it requires a lot of patience to create a new, healthy, nourishing relationship with all of the parts and pieces and people in your life in a way that serves you and that respects them. And so, yeah, and I can only imagine, cause I remember when I was in my first phase as a line six, um, patience was not my strength and I'm not an emotional authority, but I used to feel so much, and it's probably because of, um the oh, my goodness, I'm going blank but like the fear.
Speaker 1:Right, so it's. Yeah, so need motivation and fear transference and the the fear did not allow me to trust anything and at that point I was still learning about the mother wound. It was very new to me. I was more about shadow integration and had no idea. I think I kind of knew about human design, but I wasn't really into it. It wasn't into gene keys, any of that. But yeah, we so Lorraine and I have a very similar third line story.
Speaker 1:So you're still in the third line phase yes, for a few months for a few months, so you're 29 now, and then, um, for me that was like eight years ago. But I also went to, uh, mexico with a one-way ticket and I ended up staying there for I don't even know like six months, I think, and it was like all of my ancestral shadows came up, like I had fears that I never even had. You know, like my mother's fears or my grandmother's fears were coming up, and it was really scary to have patients during that time, because I supported myself, so I had nobody to support me. My father had passed. I could not depend on my mother to support me in that way.
Speaker 1:I didn't have a partner, and so it was a very scary time and I can only imagine, you know, like if not all third lines go through things like this, right that it's such a tumultuous time, right, it's, it's. It's not like just trial and error. I know that they say like trial and error, but I don't really believe that.
Speaker 1:I think it's like trial and trials and tribulations you know it's really scary and it's very hard to have patience, because a six line doesn't mature in the first phase. A six line matures during the end of the second phase you know, and but the six line does this innate wisdom that they are able to access? If there is that commitment to evolution, like if there's a commitment to like spirits and evolution, they are able to access that and still experience synchronicities. Right, um, but the patience is a whole other level so important.
Speaker 1:It's so important, I think, that I used to have a phrase when I was in my first line. It's like but I didn't die, right, I'm not dying, so I'm fine, right, like as long as I'm still alive, like life is gonna going to take care of me. And it was always like that, at the last thread of the last hour, like something would come in and save me or or take care of me or support me, but it was so scary to live and it does feel almost like you're a victim of life.
Speaker 1:Right feel almost like you're a victim of life, right? So there are these two sides of like um perceiving life. For the first line, the first phase of the sixth line, which is, like you mentioned in the beginning, it's either you really believe that you're a victim or you see that life is always supporting you.
Speaker 1:It's like you're crossing a bridge that hasn't been created yet and every time your foot is about to step down, you know the bridge is there, so there has to be so much faith and hope, which actually those are our terms for the second line, right, the second line is very much based on hope. So that really has to be worked on, and I I think it ties so beautifully into what you've been talking about in regards to remothering yourself, because without that healthy inner mother, there is no hope.
Speaker 1:Because our mother was our first relationship to source and life and survival, right. So I think it's really beautiful how this all ties in together and also just witnessing your journey, um, when we really connected, uh, towards the end of 2023. I remember we had a clarity call before and you I still remember that call you were in Canada, right, you were in a situation that you didn't want to be in, yeah, and then I told you, I said, when you put yourself in the correct situation, we can work together, right?
Speaker 1:like because the thing with that is I I've experienced a lot of women um investing in the work but not doing, not taking action on what their body's telling them to do, and it creates so much frustration and it just really adds to the pressure and it leads them to feel in conflict with themselves. So, and you, you went, and you did that right, you left, you went back to Mexico after our call, I had so much clarity about what to do.
Speaker 2:I remember I felt destroyed, like I was in front of you and I was just crying and crying and I was with the wrong people at the wrong place and like, yeah, and after that I just knew what I had to do. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And now you did it so beautifully, like you just swiftly went. You know, and I know, I know that that's not how you felt internally that it was hard and it was probably confronting, but I think that you're such a beautiful example of like an emotional authority that's willing to receive truth and healthy confrontation and allow your the awareness of your solar plexus to move you on this plane.
Speaker 1:so you did go back to to Mexico and then we started working together, right and then there was something else that came up which we spoke about, and you know I I told you that. If that, you knew what the the answer was yeah we were talking.
Speaker 1:We were talking about a relationship and I told you you knew what the answer was and that these things block us from receiving from life. And I think you know it's so important for you because you're still in your first phase. You need to be available to receive because it's a very difficult phase and again you moved through your process beautifully and you followed your body's instructions and after that I mean up until now I've only seen the path open up for you, like I said you know, as a six line in their first phase, before your Saturn return.
Speaker 1:Of course, it feels like you're always in the unknown and that there is no floor for you to step on until right when your foot touches the floor up for you, like when you left Mexico and you went to stay in that beautiful home in the middle of nature and you just spent time connecting with yourself and writing, and it was like such a gift, right, because you were staying there for free, like in this beautiful on a lake, like this wild property.
Speaker 1:And now you're back in Canada and you have your own place that feels safe and is creating the stability that you were craving. And now you're also not only do you have your online business, but you're also you have this other job that really aligns with your story.
Speaker 2:So can you share a little bit about that? Yes, of course. So yeah, I just would like to say that, like in this phase, just to close, a little thing for me is the remodeling process was so important because in the first phase of the six lines and with everything I am and my story, many times I felt like I was going to die and that's such a deep pain. It's so hard to feel like a part of myself really truly believed many times in my journey that I was going to die and I really needed a strong inner force to be able to feel that and let it go and be able to trust, because that's such an important feeling and so big and it takes so much space it has to come out of the body to be able to function properly after that. So, yeah, you were talking and I was like, oh yeah, I was feeling everything you were saying and so, yeah, I followed my authority and everything and I found the perfect apartment. I'm really really happy about it and grateful.
Speaker 2:And I found, not so long after that, a new job, because I was craving stability and one part of that was financial stability, because with building a business, there's not a lot of financial stability and I felt it would be healthy for my nervous system to just have a stable income. And it's really beautiful. It came to me through. I was grocery shopping and the mother of one of my old friends was there and, oh hi, we start to talk together and she tells me about this place that aligns with the kind of work I would like to do, and she tells me you should look. I think they're looking and they are expanding and maybe there's going to be a job for you there. And I do a little research and there's an opening and I go to the interview and it's a click and they hired me. So I started two weeks ago and for now I'm still in the training process, but I'm working in a. It's a home that welcomes women that have been violated and that are stuck in abusive and violence in their intimate relationship. So it's really sensitive and important work.
Speaker 2:So for the past two weeks I've been training to recognize the cycle of violence, to really understand it, to recognize, recognize the red flags and if a woman is at risk for her life, and to offer her the services she needs so she can be safe again. And it feels so important and it feels like a piece of my life puzzle. And it feels like a piece of my life puzzle A few years ago before going. It was just in the middle of my big leap of faith. I stopped my studies and I quit my professor job and just after that I tried because I wanted to try the job of a social worker and I worked with violent men for two or three months and I was working with them. They were going to therapy to try to end the cycle of violence they were creating in their relationship.
Speaker 2:So now it feels like I'm working with the other side'm at a point of my life where I realize so much about my past because the first phase of the six line is so much happens you don't have the time to process everything.
Speaker 2:That's why you have the second phase to process, because so much, so much happened. Um, and I feel this job and the training I'm going through right now brings me a lot of information to understand some experience and some experiences I went through, some experiences I went through and and at the same time, at the same time it it's like a mirror of all the knowledge I'm now embodying and I can bring that to those women I meet and I receive beautiful reflections and I feel I have so much tools to support them and help them. So one part of my job is to help women that are in the home since many, many months and they are like at the end of their process and they are about to go in the world by themselves in a few months, or maybe a year, depending on on the situation. So the goal is for them to feel autonomous and safe by themselves. So I feel I have so much to offer to these women, wow.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't think that it's actually very common for these you know safe homes to have someone that has the knowledge that you have? Yeah, so that the fact that you help them transition out and you're able to provide them with so much knowledge and so many simple, practical, grounded practices and understandings that they can take with them is really powerful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll see how it goes, because I have also to adjust to their reality, which are extremely intense and they have a very, very hard background.
Speaker 2:I can give very practical tools and exercises that I think are really can apply to their situation.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and yeah, I'm also the woman that will welcome everyone in the home. So I'm like at the first phase of the home and I'm at the last one and I feel like I have so much tools and I embody safety now like it's my frequency inside of me. I know I'm safe in my body. I know I know I'm safe to be a woman in this world, and so I'm really looking forward to like take the phone and have this woman who's gonna ask for help and safety for the first time in her life, or maybe for the maybe the first and the last time for her life. So I really have to be present for her and give her what she needs in that moment, because it's not easy to ask for help when there's so much shame and it's so complex, and so I feel honored, yeah, to be that safe person for those women that are going to need our services. Yeah, it's such a beautiful job. I couldn't have asked for a better place to work. Yeah.
Speaker 1:That is really beautiful. How, yeah, like this full circle moment that you're experiencing in your life as you're about to transition, you know, into your second phase. I think that that's really beautiful. How many years has it been since you had that other experience?
Speaker 2:uh, in regards to working with men, um, it was, I think, two or three years ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, so not so long, yeah, and at the same time, so much has happened in between yeah yeah, that's the beauty of a six line, like you don't really need to like think about what you're gonna work with or what your career is gonna be it's just your life experiences. That's pretty much it. Yeah, they lead you and they show you what to embody and it generates outer authority, naturally. So, if I mean your experiences right, and I think the only thing is the maturation process, which is a natural six line process that allows the frequency of your authority to be the frequency of the role model, right?
Speaker 2:so.
Speaker 1:I mean, I just think it's really beautiful and wild how everything adds to each other in your life like everything gives value to other categories of your life.
Speaker 2:Yes, all connected all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's so beautiful. Lorraine, I wanted to ask you, since we're now coming to a close, is there a message that you'd like to leave the women, our listeners, with?
Speaker 2:I think the the message is for women that feel insecure, unsafe and feel a lot of powerlessness in their life and in their body. It's possible to love being a woman and to know that it's possible to feel an abundance of safety inside your own body and that the work and the process to get there is so worth it. It's going to change you forever and just know it's possible to feel extremely safe, to be yourself in your most authentic and feminine expression.
