Episode 10: Marie O’Neill: And the Lotus Opened

Episode 10: Marie O’Neill: And the Lotus Opened In this episode, Anne Brinkman talks with Marie O’Neill, a dynamic coach, author, astrologer, and Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Kepler College. Marie shares insights from her powerful memoir And the Lotus Opened—a story of trauma, transformation, and spiritual awakening. Through her lens of astrology, Native American teachings, and deep reverence for nature, Marie explores how healing often begins in the “mud and muck” of life—just like the lotus that blooms from it. She and Anne discuss finding one’s plant totem, reconnecting with the Great Mother energy, and learning to reclaim personal power after pain.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The symbolism of the lotus and how it mirrors our life’s unfolding How to discover your plant totem and what it reveals about you Understanding the Great Mother energy and its role in healing Reclaiming personal power after trauma and finding true freedom Noteworthy quotes from Marie in this episode:  “One of the biggest things that I learned is to take my power back from others and to keep it and to not give it away. Because so many of us give our power away, whether it's to our parents or our mate or our job or whatever. And we feel that we are weak and we're not. We just need to take our power back. And no matter who I am in front of talking to, no matter how much money they have or power that they think they have, I have my own power.”  “I want people to know that they need to be curious about their own life and that they can thrive. And I don't see most people thriving. I see most people existing. And it doesn't matter how much money they have. I see them exist because they don't know who they are.” “I am free. The trauma didn’t do that—I chose to go down the road to find me so that I could be free.”  “…the lotus grows in mud and muck. It can't grow in clean water, it can't grow in beauty. It ends up being beautiful when it opens, but it has to start in the mud and muck.” Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode: Website: Padma Life Coaching (https://padmalifecoaching.com/) Book Website: https://andthelotusopened.com/ Book: And the Lotus Opened (available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Lotus-Opened-M...) and major retailers (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/and-...) ) Facebook:   / marieoneillauthor   Instagram:   / marie.oneill.1023   LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/marieoneill Connect with Anne Brinkman Website: www.betteryour.life (http://www.betteryour.life/) LinkedIn: @coachannebrinkman (  / coachannebrinkman  ) Free confidence recordings: www.betteryour.life/audio (http://www.betteryour.life/audio) Newsletter: get notified of new podcast episodes or blog posts (https://better-your-life-coaching.ck....)
