The Ride of My Life Podcast/Blog

This has been an important process for me to come forward and begin to help people understand and walk through grief. In this video, I go into what I went through with grief in my life and how to help yourself and others with grief. I also share emotional, physical and spiritual symptoms of grief as well. Finally, I talk about opening up my Meetup Group to hold space for grief through writing called The Write to Heal - Journaling Your Way through Grief.     In Season 4, I share my story, how I was able to heal and also give suggestions from my experience on how you can heal on your journey; Mind, Body, Spirit and Soul. It doesn’t work for everyone in the same way and you are your own physician, healing yourself. I share from my own personal and professional experience.   Come along with me to find how I continue this journey, as I am on it. Hold on, it’s quite the ride!   Come join me in a healing partnership...   Caroline Rena Website The Write to Heal-Journaling Your Way through Grief Meetup LinkTree Redox Signaling Molecules Please consider supporting The Ride of My Life Podcast so I can continue to do this work to help as many people as possible.

In this episode, Michael Berger and I have a great conversation on what he does, our journeys, and how we both got started on our journeys through The REAL (Resilience. Empowerment. Acceptance. Love.) Course (formerly TLC and UYO). We talk about similar experiences with #critical and #judgmental parents who created #shame for us. #Codependency issues and #selflove was also discussed. We have #choices in our lives and one of those is to decide whether or not we want to keep repeating the same old #patterns that no longer work for or serve us in any situation in our lives or shift our personal view and personal power to something that changes our lives. We also talk about being #vulnerable and a #highlysensitive and using those as a superpower. #TheREALCourse really opened the door for us to empower ourselves in our lives and I am honored to share this course with you. The course itself has gone through many iterations over many years and has had to grown and empowered itself. From UYO to TLC to REAL, it is now at a stage of being able to provide so much healing and such an amazing community for those that attend. Listen in as we share both of our personal experiences and how we have grown and changed our lives and be sure to take a look at The REAL Courses website for more information and for contact information. The REAL Courses Michael Berger is a licensed psychotherapist and training consultant practicing out of Boca Raton, Florida.

In this episode, someone I was talking to this morning brightened my day and it was such an incredible experience, I wanted to share my thoughts on what happened. I was floored by a compliment that was given to me and realized that we don't do that nearly enough in this world. Bullying seems to be more prevalent than being kind and it feels, to me, that hurt people, hurt people. When we feel hurt we tend to lash out and there is a limited amount of kindness. My healing journey has shown me that the more I have healed from trauma, the more I am kind to people. Try it for yourself for a day. Reach out to share a smile, a compliment or open a door for someone (for you, not them) and see what happens for the rest of the day. Even they will pay it forward.     In Season 4, I share my story, how I was able to heal and also give suggestions from my experience on how you can heal on your journey; Mind, Body, Spirit and Soul.

I give guidance from my own personal and professional experience.  In this episode, I am talking with Diane Ochoa and Maya Goreshnik about health and Redox Signaling Molecules which are innate in our bodies. My introduction to them came from a friend of a friend in trying to find a place to stay on my way back down to Florida while I was on my travels in the past year. My small personal experience has led me to want to add this to my healing journey. Listen in as Diane shares her story of the past couple of years and how this has helped her and Maya shares very interesting and important information about what Redox Signaling Molecules are. In addition, each week, I will post an update to share what is going on for me as my favorite thing is to be a guinea pig and share in something I believe in. It is so important to me to see where this will take us. It is something that has been researched since the 18th century Joseph Priestly and the other co-discovers of oxygen in the eighteenth century, the potential toxicity of this essential gas has been known. It wasn't until the 1950's, when understanding of the mechanism did not advance significantly, when Rebecca Gerschman and coworkers noted that oxygen poisoning resembled the damage from X-rays and proposed that free radicals were involved. More information is given on the NIH Site on this information. Here is the link.

Talking about the difference between just dealing with something as the Still Small Voice gets louder and becomes the 2x4 that tends to hit us in the head when we don't pay attention, to just seeing something not going right for us and making a decision in the moment. Years of the 2x4 has taught me to follow the intuition and change things that need to be changed in the moment. The 2x4 can be very painful.

I give guidance from my own personal and professional experience.   In this episode, I share a blog I wrote on the shadow as a personal experience I had with my internal and external worlds. Bringing up some very powerful experiences from the feelings/emotions I was going through on a particular morning as I lay in bed watching the shadows on the ceiling... moving and breathing.   Come along with me to find how I continue this journey, as I am on it. Hold on, it’s quite the ride!   Come join me in a healing partnership...   Website LinkTree #carolinerena #therideofmylife #healingjourney #deephealing #courage #mindshift #personalgrowthjourney #healyourself #truth #heartresonance #spiritualjourney #innerchildhealing #grief #trauma #parentalalienationawareness #thepowerofpeace #harmoniconenesspeaceexpansion #selflove #souljourney #empowerment #hope #empathy #feelingsafe #highlysensitiveperson #hsp #connection

I joined in this talk because people need to hear about what is causing a lot of their pain, anxiety, depression and so forth. When you know what is potentially going on, you then have something to go by that will help you on your path to healing.   This was a very powerful experience for me and helped me to see even more what is going on and to be able to connect with others going through it as well. I am grateful to have had this opportunity with these amazing women.   IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS, perhaps YOU have been chosen by your ancestors to BREAK THE CHAIN & DETOX THE GENERATIONAL PATH. Inherited traumas consist of traits that have been  present within you since the time you were born. They were passed onto you from previous generations. Acquired traits are those that YOU develop during this lifetime. Acquired traits are NOT passed from one generation to another. Learn how GENERATIONAL or INHERITED TRAUMAS are likely the reason people are angry, hateful, prejudiced, divided, and more. Many dealing with anxiety, depression, and even homicidal or suicidal tendencies have no idea why. Dr. Mozelle Martin has been studying this since 2005 and has SCIENTIFIC PROOF that past lives really do exist. She will share the evidence with you during this live stream. Dr. Mozelle Martin brings on two other panelists - Caroline Rena & Dawn McCarty - each with their own experiences and knowledge. Together they will take you down a trajectory that can forever change the lives of you and your loved ones for many generations.   Website LinkTree #carolinerena #therideofmylife #healingjourney #deephealing #courage #mindshift #personalgrowthjourney #healyourself #truth #love #developmentaltrauma #heartresonance #spiritualjourney #travelnomad #thepowerofpeace #innerpeacematters #innerpeaceoracle #harmoniconenesspeaceexpansion #hope #highlysensitiveperson #hsp #poetry #breakthechain #generationaltrauma #DrMartinPhD #dawnmccarty

Well, it has definitely been interesting since I got back to South Florida. I have worked through some things that are lessons in this lifetime for me about focusing on myself, standing on my own two feet, and self-forgiveness. It has been quite the journey inside just in the last two weeks. I'm blown away by the shifts. And... my journey began with trauma, depression, anxiety, plenty of loss and chaos in my life, and more. I realized a lot of things that I talk about in this video and share my ah-hah moments for myself as well as recognizing that there is no same answer to heal for everyone. There just isn't. We all have our own stuff and best I can say is to reach out to someone who can guide you out of the hole when you are ready to get out. When things get intolerable, there is a space in there that we can choose to shift ourselves and lives. It is possible. The journey continues... Follow me as I share my Poem Talks, my musings, my Inner Peace Journey and through the healing work I find myself fully committed to as I learn about the truth of who I am, find new awarenesses about myself and life and share it with you in hopes that it will provide insight to your journey as well. My Poem Talks means a lot to me and I share my deep dive into Self over the past year and a half. I reference the poems I wrote since 2021, and share how I was going deep into my healing work because I knew things needed to change in my life. I asked for the changes but it took the moment to moment experience of life for me to learn more about my truth and why I am here on this planet. The most important thing I’m finding is the connection between my Self, my Higher Self and my Higher Power. From the truth, love, beauty, connection, joy and inner peace I find inside, I am readily available to share my gifts with the world. Who am I really? I am a highly sensitive being and I am Love.  It hasn’t been easy and quite frankly, this time around in this life, my Soul chose many challenges to face so I could learn about compassion, love, peace and joy (my own first and then for others). I lived my life in a complete state of “not good enough” which fully reflected in my experiences, and when that is going on, knowing myself as compassion, love, peace and joy was confounding to me. Life doesn’t always work out in the way we plan (and mostly that is a good thing) but for me, confronting the darkness of my life and what I was bringing into jobs, relationships and life in general, showed me that how I lived and the things I was taught throughout my life was not my truth of who I am. In order to truly heal, I needed to walk through the grief, as painful as it was, forgive myself for not knowing better at the times I didn’t which my behavior showed, and to forgive others fully in order to find the love inside me... as I continue to discover this truth and ultimately inner peace.

What an incredible journey this is has been. I am back in Florida from going through my process and the deep dive into my healing journey from trauma. I can tell you that the journey never ends but the results along the way are amazing. I have very few flashbacks now and if I get one, I am able to deal with it with my tools. My nervous system is healing because I can tell that I don't react or dissociate anymore, I just sit with whatever is coming up for me. This is so empowering. My hope is for all who have experienced trauma that you can witness for yourself freedom in your life. The journey continues...

While on the road heading back to Florida, met some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness. In this video, I am interviewing Ethan Vincent who owns Barefoot Gardens, a Camp/Homestead and Learning Center in Vilonia, AR. I stayed the night there on my way back to Florida and was given a tour around the Homestead. So many cool things going on from classes to chicken release to making stone jewelry among other things. I only stayed one night but I am looking forward to the next opportunity where I can stay longer. What a great family and place!

What an incredible journey this is. Learning more and more about what faith is and how it works. I talk about my experience with my mother two years prior to her death and my road to forgiving her before that and since. That mother wound has been difficult for me but I am learning more and more about real unconditional love and self-love through it. I have been building on my faith for a long time now and I am finding these shifts in my experience from traumas throughout my life are so amazingly healing. Thanks for being here with me.

I am still on the road, meeting some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.   This interview came from a contact that was out of the blue and I am glad it came. The conversation was around trauma and how the mind and body deals with it and how we can heal from it. Find out how to work through when trauma comes us, how Interpersonal Hypnotherapy is done and how it can really help remove your blocks to the higher vibration. I share my experience and it really helped me to hear what Matthew had to share. "All roads lead back to the mind." What does that mean? Listen in...   Website  LinkTree Matthew J.

This was an interesting test. I recorded this on both my phone and Zoom on my laptop (which I normally do). I was in a coffee shop and wanted to see what would be the easiest. So that didn't work out and I just did it the usual way. Anyway, I was going through coming over a hurdle about myself and my truth last year and I was digging into both my world and myself. Even now, at this time, I am in a space of getting ready to begin anew and I share what it was like then and now. The journey continues...

The past week has been all about Rebirth for me from my birthday on August 3rd through Sunday with an experience of connection and finding out that although I didn't feel as though I loved, that was a lie I told myself throughout my life. From the celebrations with my friends in Oklahoma, to the cake, to the painting parties, to the love, love, love received and given, I find I am blessed, loved and supported by many in my life. The icing on the cake was when I shared about my 40th High School Reunion, which I ended up not being able to attend, about how I felt as a teen in high school that contributed to what went on in my life. I connected anyway with so many people from that post, I was in awe. Thank you all for being in my life! I love you and I am so grateful. I forgot to mention my eye, which I tried to “make up” for by putting makeup on the other eye, to match. It didn’t work out too well, you can still see the puffy.

In order to truly heal, I needed to walk through the grief, as painful as it was, forgive myself for not knowing better at the times I didn’t which my behavior showed, and to forgive others fully in order to find the love inside me... as I continue to discover this truth and ultimately inner peace.

I am still on the road, met some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness. In this video, I decided to interview Gary and Debra on the work they are doing with turning pallets into artwork for your home. They made me a tray/headboard for the back of my car for when I sleep in it and as you can see, they are so artistic with their expression of love. A little more "bad hair day" and meshing the pronunciation of "mandala." Eh... to-ma-to or to-mah-to. Hahaha... anyway, just wanted to share my dear friends because of this and their generosity. Beautiful souls, they are.  In one of the shots is a kitchen they made for their grand-daughters which I neglected to mention. So cool!    Website   LinkTree Knot A Pallet Anymore:   Facebook Etsy #carolinerena #recreateyourlife #therideofmylife #healingjourney #deephealing #courage #mindshift #personalgrowthjourney #healyourself #truth #trauma #mentalhealth #spiritualjourney #travelnomad #thepowerofpeace #innerpeacematters #innerpeaceguide #friendsofpeacepilgrim #harmoniconenesspeaceexpansion #hope #highlysensitiveperson #hsp #knotapalletanymore

My poem, On Being Nice is a recognition of truth for me and how I tried to keep people in my life, no matter how I was treated because I loved them. I didn't want them to leave because of my fear of being alone. I struggle through this for many years and realized that, as women, we are taught to put everyone else first. This completely diminished my sense of self to the point where I was lost and stuck. I share my thoughts of what being nice was for me. I also shared a couple of tools to help calm the nervous system - hands on heart and breathing and also bilateral stimulation through tapping on your shoulders. As well, I shared a book that really helped me out called, "The Good Girl Jail, When You Dare to Live from Your True Self" by Sandra Felt. Follow me as I share my Poem Talks, my musings, my Inner Peace Journey and through the healing work I find myself fully committed to as I learn about the truth of who I am, find new awarenesses about myself and life and share it with you in hopes that it will provide insight to your journey as well. My Poem Talks means a lot to me and I share my deep dive into Self over the past year and a half. I reference the poems I wrote since 2021, and share how I was going deep into my healing work because I knew things needed to change in my life. I asked for the changes but it took the moment to moment experience of life for me to learn more about my truth and why I am here on this planet. The most important thing I’m finding is the connection between my Self, my Higher Self and my Higher Power. From the truth, love, beauty, connection, joy and inner peace I find inside, I am readily available to share my gifts with the world. Who am I really? I am a highly sensitive being and I am Love.  It hasn’t been easy and quite frankly, this time around in this life, my Soul chose many challenges to face so I could learn about compassion, love, peace and joy (my own first and then for others). I lived my life in a complete state of “not good enough” which fully reflected in my experiences, and when that is going on, knowing myself as compassion, love, peace and joy was confounding to me.

In this episode, I find that timing is everything. This poem happens to be about change and what better time to talk about it as a New Moon and during the process of travelling back to Florida. I continue to work through my healing process and being okay with theses changes. My life looks nothing like it ever has and I am grateful for it all. The journey continues...

I am still on the road, met some amazing people who are sharing their love and gifts, for healing and connection on this planet and raising consciousness.   In this video, I am interviewing Lisa Chapman of Celestial Salt, LLC in Colorado Springs. She is the owner of this beautiful fusion of holistic healing, and metaphysical and her shop. When you open the door and walk into this beautiful and healing space, you find more than Salt Lamps. Its energy pulls you into comfort.   Aside from the beautiful things she is selling, she also has readers, massage therapists, energy work and other healing modalities to include the Halotherapy. She also has a Community room for classes and Tai Chi, etc.    Lisa is an amazing human being and I am grateful to have met her and spent time with her on this trip. So, stepping into my inner peace created outer experiences that I never thought I would... well... experience! I so love what is happening and I look forward to what this journey brings, one wing and a prayer at a time as I am guided on my way.   Enjoy the self-inflicted technical difficulties I provided when I decided to turn the phone sideways to get both of us in the shot. Obviously, that didn't work very well!   Website: https://www.carolinerena.com LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/carolinerena Lisa Chapman:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CelestialSaltllc.store #carolinerena #recreateyourlife #therideofmylife #healingjourney #deephealing #courage #mindshift #personalgrowthjourney #healyourself #truth #trauma #mentalhealth #spiritualjourney #travelnomad #thepowerofpeace #innerpeacematters #innerpeaceguide #friendsofpeacepilgrim #harmoniconenesspeaceexpansion #hope #highlysensitiveperson #hsp #celestialsaltllc
