Caring Without Carrying It All- A special virtual workshop with Nicole Schiener, psychotherapist and Julie Cusmariu, Coach and Consultant

Julie Cusmariu — Sat, 14 Oct 2023 17:41:53 +0000

We invite you to a Special Virtual Group Program For Sensitive Helping Professionals, Caregivers, Creatives and Changemakers

Put it all down and let it be.

During four 90 minute workshop sessions in November and December, we invite you into an experience of uninterrupted time to be with yourself and others. You deserve caring too. We are honoured to help you nurture your wisdom, your somatic knowing and embrace the uniqueness of you. We have designed this program to support you in protecting your time and energy and honouring your capacity and needs.

Your Investment Includes: $333

Each session will include a blend of storytelling, personal reflections, small and large group discussions, a psycho-educational exercise, a guided visualization or intuitive movement practice along with a summary handout with key concepts, journal prompts to return to whenever you need and recommended resources.

Live attendance of the workshops may qualify for CEUs.

You Can Care Without Carrying the Weight of the World on Your Shoulders.

We know you are busy and brilliant. You don’t need more work to do or to be told what to do. The answers lie within. But everyone needs time and space to slow down and connect. Despite being essential work, caregiving at home and as work is deeply devalued by society. Women, especially helping professionals are burning out. Health concerns, mental health issues and relationship struggles are on the rise. Compassion fatigue compromises our work. These practices can enhance your use of self and help you become a better partner, parent and professional.

“Does the world need another podcast?” Stats shared at WYNC’s Werk It Festival reaffirmed my question from months ago.

Julie Cusmariu — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 00:44:01 +0000

I’m back from the 5th annual Women’s Podcast Festival-Werk It, produced by WNYC Studios. I listened and learned, and a few things in particular have stuck with me, including gratitude. So glad to be hosting and producing my indie podcast and for the dear people that listen and subscribe and who are patrons too (patreon.com/julieinconversation).

Before I was about to launch into my previous podcast series (39 episodes worth) #Motherhood #LetsCreateAVillage in November 2017, I hosted a solo show asking “Does the world need another podcast?” I was really just asking out loud, should I be doing this thing? Still? Now ? Even when everyone and their neighbour is podcasting ?
Don’t we have enough to listen to? In this age of ‘over’ consumption, unlimited distractions and things to watch and listen to in any and every moment?

Then, to reaffirm my questioning, during the welcome and opening remarks of the Werk It festival, Depelsha McGruder, Chief Operating Officer of New York Public Radio shared these stats with us:

22 % of Americans are now listening to podcasts on a weekly basis. ( I’m Canadian and I don’t have those stats for Canadians or other countries but must be quite similar).

There are more than 700 000 podcasts available (I’m assuming worldwide).

and get this…

There are 29 million episodes available to choose from (in 2019).

So, my podcast is one of 700 000! My episodes are part of the 29 million! Clearly there is no lack of options. What is also clear is that voices and stories make a crucial difference. There is an audience that will be impacted and touched by your voice, your story. There are listeners that will find benefit and pleasure and satisfaction to listening in. In mine and in yours and in theirs.

So here’s to all the podcast creators representing and here’s to using your voice and broadcasting it ( if you feel called to).

Thanks Werk It for the stats and the industry experience.

Thank you for listening and being part of the Julie in Conversation audio experience, sharing and listening to voices that create change, while opening minds and hearts. Cheers. Tune in wherever you find your podcasts, Spreaker, Spotify, Stitcher, Apple Podcasts and here.

Breathe. You’ve arrived.

Julie Cusmariu — Mon, 09 Sep 2019 19:20:28 +0000

Arriving requires acknowledgment doesn’t it? Wherever it is we are arriving. Be it a physical place or emotional place or mental place. Breathing grounds the arrival in our bodies. Here’s to noticing where we’ve arrived today, in this moment.

I’m acknowledging arriving deeply rooted (and roots deepening by the day) into the school season, with time to reconnect to and recollect myself. I may be acknowledging this one for a while! Here’s to practices that help us be in our bodies, connecting to the wisdom of our body, feeling, sensing, knowing.

Come join my Dance Your Intuition dance night if you’re in Montreal. A sure way to connect you to the freedom and pleasure of being in your body. A moment to quiet the mental chatter and connect to what is true for you.

Montreal Life Coach, Julie Cusmariu also hosts Dance Your Intuition every month in Montreal

I’m still being being danced by this song and this night (Dance Your Intuition ). I’m thankful for that. A few days ago I was home (like many Montrealers, on a snowy icy day when school was cancelled ) with my beautiful highly spirited boys, 7 and 5 years old, feeling desperate (dramatic, I know, but it felt dramatic, relatively speaking of course) for space, support, the ‘village’, to come in and take over with plans and games and social connection. It was one of those days when I needed to dig deep. I mean that can feel like a perpetual state (It’s not perpetual but pretty consistent. Reliable. What is.) for me as I navigate motherhood and womanhood and being human really, as I am. And so the attempt to ‘be with’ rather than ‘struggle against ‘ was strong. Humbling always.

Fast forward to just the next day and Dance Your Intuition, the evening I host monthly, happened and I found freedom again. I showed up, beautiful women showed up to dance and we let go.

Embodiment can not be understated. Being grounded in our body, feeling, moving, expressing heals, resolves things, transforms us, and brings perspective, freedom, pleasure and connection to ourself and the other.

We can come to neutral. Our intuition can be heard in this place.

Saturday February 16 is the next Dance Your Intuition in Montreal. I hope you join us. Let the mental chatter melt away even if for two hours together on a Saturday night. Come dance out of your comfort zone, connect to yourself, be yourself.

Dance Your Intuition, feel the pleasure and freedom of being grounded in your body. Montrealers this is for you.

Julie Cusmariu — Sat, 26 Jan 2019 16:34:16 +0000

I took a moment (and captured it) before Dance Your Intuition January 2019 began. Thank you to the beautiful women who took the time out and showed up for themselves. We all benefited as a result.

Honouring our body wisdom, our intuition, the nudges from within, what’s wanting to be expressed, felt, moved, discovered and danced. Doing this, practicing this, committing to ourself enables us to be ourself. The presence, the person that impacts and creates positive change and healing in our own life and those we connect with each day. Here’s to trusting yourself and knowing yourself and being curious about yourself and the other.

We had the chance to let go of the self protection and self judgement, to create space, to open to freedom and the pleasure and experience of being grounded and in our bodies. A moment to intentionally feel and connect to who we are.

The next dance event is February. Send me a message to let me know you want to join. I would love to welcome you.
