She Brings ‘Awakening’ - episode 165
Have you considered you were divinely called for a specific purpose? That became Jen Poulson’s passion: to inspire people to experience their own ‘awakening,’ and to find their individual ‘soul calling.’ It’s become her work, guiding clients to discover why they are here, and what they are going to do about it.
First though, you need to heal from past hurts so you can believe you are as valuable as you actually are. Jen has found great fulfillment in helping clients get to the root of issues, working through them so healing can take place. Then the negative self-talk can be replaced with positive affirmations you can state, and know to be true. You now believe it. Finally.
Intuitive. Deep-diver. Connecter.

The Sound of Words
Thoughts from She Brings ‘Awakening’
Have you noticed that certain words are musical to your ears, they bring joy and sometimes comfort while other words are grating, either because of how they sound or more likely an association you have with them. “Awakening” is the word Jen chose to describe her work. She thought about it, how it sounds, what it means. It came to mean so much more than hearing three syllables spoken with those particular letters in that specific order. Awaken came to mean her purpose, her calling, her passion. She aligned with it.
That is the power of words. They are more than conveying an idea or communicating a thought although there is certainly strength in that. They are identification, expression, encompassing, how we are known. They can elicit a visceral reaction or light-hearted laughter, depending. As you likely realize, I like words. I love words. I frequently have a thesaurus on hand when I write because I tend to be deliberate on certain choices. I go with the flow of expressing myself then often during a sentence I will want to punch up a particular thought with a word that conveys more than the first one that comes to my mind.
When I think of words that are beautiful to my ears and have great depth I think of words like:
honor, love, unabashed
Words that make me tense when I hear them:
lover, moist, f@#k
We just got back from a vacation in Ireland and I noticed words that made me giggle:
Dingle, fecking eejits
And yes, I do see how close replacing the “u” with an “e” is in the profane word. Yet that is the power of it all. The one with “u” is harsh to my years, and quite frankly ridiculously overused, while the version with “e” is highly amusing to me. I know plenty will disagree and that’s the beauty of us all being different.
While we’re talking about words there is one I’d like to see return:
dapper
One I like to say:
melange
So there you have it. I love words but am not a lover of words because I don’t like the word “lover.” Go figure! I’d be curious to know what your thoughts are on how words sound to you and if you’ve given it any thought. Not everyone is someone who likes to ponder. Since I am, and I do, I give these sorts of things a bit of time, here and there. it’s part of what makes me, me. And then she signed off with a big smile on her face.
Align with the power of words.
