Podcast of The Day: The Mark Groves Podcast | Why Women Yelling Has Gone Viral with Mia Magik | Feb 24 2025 | 1 hr 8 min
Why It Mattered To Me:
So grateful to hear the reminder (once again) that I’m not crazy for feeling the need to rage, to scream, or to cry. And in fact, it can be a healthy way for me to get in tune with myself and heal!These Words Made Me Pause:
“For cortisol to exit your body, for the chemical to leave, tears are its strongest release point. And how many of us are, especially men, crying regularly and giving themselves that permission? Not very many. And so these safe spaces for deep emotions are one of the major keys to this new evolution of our society.
- Mia Magik“I want to choose to self-source love. I want to be the origin of my own love and not need anything outside myself.
…
“The more I connect with my true nature, the more I listen to my body, and give her time to express and communicate and actually follow her invitations, actually listen, again the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the more my life changes and the more beautiful it gets.”
-Mia Magik, healer, coach, and author
It’s Monday..I wonder what this week holds? I was head down and immersed in writing my book synopsis the last few days, so I gave myself ample time and space to focus. It was exactly what I needed!
Question for you: When was the last time you had a good cry?
Going through it with you,
-Charissa
