Can you be deeply spiritual, devoted to serving others, abundant, supported, and well-paid?
In this episode of The Spiritual Sanctuary: Wisdom for the Divine Feminine, Bertena welcomes Leslie of Music City Healing for an honest and transformative conversation about womb healing, spiritual abundance, devoted service, and the subconscious beliefs that can keep women trapped in poverty, sacrifice, and overgiving.
Leslie shares her personal experience of devotion and taking a vow of poverty during her time as a nun. Together, Leslie and Bertena explore how formal and informal “vows” can continue influencing our relationships with money, visibility, self-worth, service, and receiving—even after our lives and circumstances have changed.
Many healers, intuitives, caregivers, spiritual teachers, and heart-centered women have been taught that being spiritual means giving without limits. We may believe that charging for our gifts is selfish, that suffering proves our devotion, or that caring for ourselves takes something away from the people we serve.
But devotion does not have to mean deprivation—and sacred service should not require self-abandonment.
Leslie explains the “trance of lack” and how subconscious beliefs may cause women to undercharge, remain invisible, reject support, feel guilty about desiring more, or give until they are depleted. She also discusses how transformational hypnosis can help release these limiting beliefs and anchor a more empowering truth:
We can be spiritual, in service, abundant, supported, and well-paid.
Bertena then explores Divine Feminine healing and the womb as a sacred physical, energetic, and symbolic center of creativity, intuition, receiving, transformation, and personal power.
Womb healing is not limited to fertility or motherhood. This practice can be meaningful for women of every age and life experience, including those who are postmenopausal, have experienced hysterectomy or pregnancy loss, or do not have a physical womb. The healing centers on reconnecting with the body, creative center, intuition, and capacity to receive.
In this episode, you will discover:
- The difference between spiritual simplicity and chronic lack
- How inherited, religious, cultural, and subconscious beliefs can affect abundance
- Why healers and caregivers sometimes struggle to charge for their gifts
- How overgiving can become a form of self-abandonment
- What it means to serve from fullness instead of depletion
- How hypnosis can help transform subconscious beliefs
- The womb’s connection to intuition, creativity, power, and receiving
- Why boundaries are an essential part of sacred service
- How to embrace abundance without compromising your spiritual values
- What it means to embody the Sovereign Feminine
