The Meaning of Stories
Embark on an exploration of the landscapes of narratives, as we uncover the stories that shape our identities and how they can serve as both constraints and catalysts for change. My own journey through illness and recovery taught me that sometimes the most challenging stories we tell ourselves are the very ones we need to let go of. This episode invites you to listen to the profound lessons learned when we embrace our narratives with love, release the chains of the past, and step into the power of rewriting our futures.As the narrative unfolds, we reflect on the transformative potential of aligning with our deepest values, recognizing that at our essence, we are beings of love. We imagine a world infused with 'hope with teeth'—a tenacious optimism that inspires tangible action in the face of global challenges.

Namae's Stories - Part 2
In this episode, I continue a conversation with my guest, David Bornstein. We share an enthralling discussion on how the powerful modality of holotropic and shamanic breathwork helped me traverse my own battles with physical pain and emotional shackles. We unfold the narrative of my transformative journey, with a nod to the incredible mother-daughter duo who facilitated my breathwork sessions in Australia. Through the lens of my own experiences, we shed light on the sacred role of skilled facilitators, the nuances of group dynamics, discuss the nature of masculine and feminine energies and the essential processes that enable us to safely journey through our psyches.Diving into the mystique of Tantra and sexual energy, we challenge the prevalent misconceptions surrounding Tantra, sharing how breathwork and tantric principles birthed my enduring connection with the life force itself, and with the Dakini traditions. We engage in a candid conversation about the potency of choice and the impact it wields on the canvas of our lives. As we paint the picture of personal transformation, both subtle and seismic, we touch upon the pillars of healing—compassion, connection, acceptance—and their power to guide us from the shadows of shame, back into the embrace of love. I warmly extend an invitation to you seekers and listeners to follow this journey of awakening, sharing the foundational values of CWays Home, where the creative narrative continues and where every moment is a step closer to our heart's truest desires.

Namae's Stories - Part 1
Stories are the weft and warp, the weaving of our lives. Stories help us make sense of our experiences. Whilst often fascinating, they can only ever give us a glimpse into who we really are. It is not what happened that matters, it's what we do with what happened that matters the most.
