Supporting Women in Rising with Dana Parker and Keira Poulsen

A recorded YouTube conversation and guided book‑channeling session between host Keira Poulsen and guest Dana Parker. They discuss Dana’s growth through masterminds, the spiritual/creative process of birthing her book (focused on helping women ‘rise’), clearing inner noise and self‑doubt, and a 21‑day commitment plan to complete the manuscript. The tone mixes coaching, guided meditation/channeling, and practical accountability.
Chapters
Look at that. We're here. We're here. How are you, friend?
Good. So good. Coming out, a lot of things that I've been doing and ready to. To really tune back into this book and to get back into my routine. And so that's why I decided to join you this morning. Thank you so much.
Still in Hawaii. Are you home now?
No, I'm home. Yeah. I got and then jumped right into two weeks with my kids in parent time because I'm an independent mom. And so it's been a whirlwind for me. So. Yeah.
And how was it leading the events in Hawaii this summer?
Oh, life changing. Life changing. Like, it. It. The island changed me. Like, I didn't even have to do anything. And just being with angel, who I met in your mastermind, which those connections have been so priceless and incredibly powerful. I mean, my growth this last year since I joined your mastermind was just been off the charts. Like, I was talking to my boyfriend yesterday, and I was like, that mastermind, like catapulted me and put me in a place where I'm like, I'm really happy with where I'm at and I'm blown away at. I'm going from last year where I was like, so scared to even launch my first group coaching, to now I have two group coaching projects that I'm working on and I'm moving forward with them. And I have people I'm co creating with that I'm so stoked about. And I have the evolving female leaders going on helping women in the workplace. And I have coaching with angel helping women on a personal level. And I just, like, I'm just happy as can be, like living in my purpose. So.
Yeah, it's been such a joy to watch you. I remember when you signed on with the mastermind, and I mean, my masterminds are not cheap. Like, they're an investment. Right. And you were like, this is so much money.
And I was like, real stretchy.
I like, I know you can do this. I know you can do this. And within three days, you had made the money. You joined the Mastermind. And I was like, oh, Dana's gonna be fire crew.
You are. Thank you. Yeah, I agree. When I feel something when in my soul's a yes, it's like I just figure it out from there. And I just. I found over the last 13 years, as I've invested now over $150,000 in my own growth, that it all away always happens. And it's just a matter of my commitment level. And the thing I learned that was so powerful about being in your group is the vibration of a group. And just being a part of a group can catapult you and move you. Like, yes, there were powerful connections, powerful people. It was incredible. But every time I got on one of those calls, every time I was on that, it's like I felt movement in my vibration forward and the more powerful version of me. And that's the part that matters. That, that shift in vibration that gets us to the next level. Because once that shifts, it's like then your thoughts and emotions shift, your actions shift, your outcome shift. Everything, everything is vibration, right?
Yes. And that, that is why I run masterminds. Like, I actually don't take one on one clients anymore because of the value of community, the value of people seeing you, hearing you for only your brilliant self. I mean, if we could all be seen and witnessed for our brilliant selves, like nothing would stand in the way. And that's why everyone gets massive results. So I just, I honor you for being one of those, those ears that you heard other people's brilliance because you do. That's your gift. You are a, like a fierce witnesser of other people's brilliance. That's who you are. And I just feel so lucky that you were in that group. So let's, let's drop into your book. So what we're going to do, I don't know if you've watched any of these, but we have coached together for a bit. So you know my, you know my jam.
Yes.
So we're going to just drop in with the sound first with my bowl. Hey, you were there when I got this bowl. Look at that.
I was a lucky way.
That, that's crazy. All right, so take a deep breath in. We're going to just clean the space and clean the energy. Opening up a place of safety, opening up a place of healing, of love, of wholeness. Opening up a space of deep rooted, grounded vibrations, grounding us, clearing us and expanding us. So now we're going to take a deep breath in. We're going to do the prayer, we're going to do the sacred creative process. So I want you to just breathe the light in through the top of your head. We're going to breathe it out through our bodies. I want you to have it cleanse and clean your body all the way from the crown. We're going to move down, clearing out the throat, the heart, all the way down through the solar plexus, we're going to breathe the light in again. We're going to let the light move down. It's going to wake up the back, heart, back, solar plexus, navel, sacral root, all the way down your legs. And then we're going to see the light move through the soles of your feet. You're going to breathe the light and one more time, and this time it's just going to do an awakening and energizing of your passion, your purpose, bringing all of your gifts up to the surface. We're going to let the light exit your toes, showed you in this beautiful shield of light, sealing it at your toes, being added form of protection to infuse and insulate you with light. We're going to then call in all of our angels. Let's call in our angels and our guides and those who are here to lead us, to guide us, to support us. Those who are here in support of your mission, of your gifts, of this book. We're going to call them in to come and hold this space with us and into the divine light. Then we're going to prep our bodies to receive. So we're going to ask that light will touch our ears, that we will spiritually hear what needs to be heard. That light will touch our third eyes. We'll have access to all of our spiritual gifts. The light will cleanse our lips, that we speak only what needs to be spoken. Take a deep breath in and out. All right, there we go. How's that feel?
Good. Really good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fun to play in your energy again. So I want you to just breathe in and we're going to call in your book. And I love your book. Oh, my gosh, I love your book. She's always so royal. And we're going to call her in and through the divine light to show us what you need to be able to complete and help her be birthed. So let's see. Thank you for being here with us in this beautiful sacred book channeling session. And if you felt the stir in your heart that it is time for you to write your book, then I am so excited to tell you that I am going to give you my sacred creative process that allows authors to channel their books, just click the link below in the description and you will have immediate access to learning the tools on how you will channel your book. So every single time we call your book and she always throws out the red carpet, like, every time, like, it's like, no kidding, there's no other entrance for her. It's like, roll out the red carpet. We're Rolling in. It's very royal, it's. Very rooted, it's got a very deeply grounded energy. And, and it's almost like she shows me that when she, when she steps on the earth, like the earth below her moves to move her forward. Like, it's so. She's so deeply supported that with every step the earth moves like, almost like a. Like I see like tree branches, like, moving her feet, moving her feet. Like she doesn't even have to give a lot of effort. So now that the book is showing us this, we're going to just kind of open up the space and ask what message does the book have for.
You.
That will help you with the completion of writing this book or whatever message your book has for whatever reason. So I'm going to invite your gifts of seeing, hearing, knowing to be really present so that you can receive as well. And then we're just going to sit for a second and listen. What do you hear?
So I see a wave and a movement for women, helping women rise. And that this book is a part of, of bringing that wave and, and adding to the wave so that women can rise and see themselves differently. I, I feel like that what you said at the beginning, I have this gift to see people, to see their potential, to see their great. And I have this just burning desire in my soul to, to convey that in these important areas that we value as women, to help upgrade our, our ideas about how we see ourselves as a housewife, as a mother, as we see ourselves in the workplace, as we see ourselves as entrepreneurs, as we see ourselves personally. And so the, the thing I see is the book is that the words and the vibration is the upgrade to, to that vision for women. And I see two women in particular that have pieces that I, I feel like I, I deserve to talk to and just communicate with that. That are important. I know who they are. And so that's on. That's a. I hear that. I see that. Thank you for that information. And, and I feel like what you explained is just. It's the feminine way. It's the feminine way. And seeing that, just being fully supported, it's like you don't even have to do a lot. It's just the feminine way to receive and be supported and you just move. And so for me, there's been with book, a lot of the doing that I've been caught up in. I get caught up in. And so just receiving and just being with the book and with it and letting it, letting it move me and write, that's that's what I'm filling into and setting aside that time.
I love that. Yes to all of that. There was a visual I saw though in the book where she was showing me like a trash can and she was just like, we got to clean up the garbage. So the garbage feels like noise in the mind. So the book is showing me like, we have to clean up the noise. We have to clean up the noise. That's why the book isn't finished yet. That's why it's not complete, is because there's all this noise. So what I want to suggest is that what is it?
What is it? What is it?
So I want you to put your hand on your heart. Okay. I want you to be right here and I want you to ask like, what is the noise that's been in the way of this book birthing? Because the book has been here so hot. So there's something in the way of the book birthing. And I want you to drop in and ask, what's the noise? What's the garbage that we get to clear out so that the book gets to finally breathe oxygen and to birth? What do you hear? What's the noise?
The pressure and shoulding I'm shooting on myself. And then it puts to a cycle of. It puts me into a cycle of avoidance and distance. Because then the book isn't a positive thing. It becomes more of a. I beat myself up over if I'm not doing it the right way perfectly and so shoulds and. And then the other thing I hear is not trusting my gifts to hear. Yeah. Then it will translate properly. I trust in my gift to sense. Like this is a. Clarify. Let me clarify. I have this gift and I can sense things and feel things. I know that very well. I'm not trusting it to come through and out through my hands where people understand it. Does that make sense? Let's understand level here.
Can you hear though that when you say that it's like it doesn't. It's not a chord. Like it drops flat. Like it's not true. Yeah, yeah, like it's just like not true. Right. So that's part of the garbage. Right? We're just clearing that out. And what your book was showing me was like, okay, so I don't know about you. I like, I'm pretty, like not snobby about a lot of things. Like I drive, you know, the 12 seater and that's like falling apart and like whatever. My land is filled with weeds. I'm not really snobby.
Right.
I am super snobby when it comes to sheets.
Okay.
500 bucks. You better believe I spend that on sheets. Right? Like, I'm real snobby about sheets.
Yeah.
What your book is showing me is, hey, you have two options. You can sleep in, like, 100 thread count sheets that are super itchy, or you can come over to this delicious, velvety smooth, bamboo, glorious bed. And the book is like, I'm the sheets. So you are over here thinking that it's this one thing and you're. You're not getting the deliciousness. The book is like, I'm delicious. Like, how dare you not, like, be in my delicious energy?
Do you know, it's so funny as I was writing affirmations about how I want to feel about this book to help me get in that place. And delicious was one of the main words that I wrote.
Yeah, that's what the book is saying. It's like, she's actually a little spicy right now. She's like, this is bullshit. I'm not a should. I'm not hard. I'm not something that has to be done. Like, I am delicious. I am honey. I am nectar for your soul. So get over here and swim in this. Like, it. She's really like. Like, she's kind of like a little bit like, time. Like, all right, we've spent time, and now it just like, you gotta be with me. Okay, so let's figure out how you can allow the book to be delicious and not a should and not doing it right. And all the garbage that is. That's been polluting the channel.
Right.
So let's see if we can hear something. So let's just breathe in and breathe out. What do you hear?
So it's sassy. It's. It goes back to the. The conversation that you and I had about doubt, self doubt, not being on the table. Like, it just doesn't exist on the table. Not there. It's not an option. And that when I have those default. Because they're just defaults. They're not actually. They're just default patterns. When I have them come in, it's like, I. Nothing that. No, that's an old story. What's the truth? And then I just see my book. Like, my book. She's beautiful. She really is beautiful. I see a woman, look, and she's very feminine. But I see her energy just, like, covering me and like, the new vibration, the new energy. So to me, it's like I. It's. It's that choice in that moment. This is the. Oh, that's so good. It's the choice in the moment to say, I nothing. That. That's an old story. And then allowing her to fill me with the new vibration that then creates the shifts that then I really experience her. Not the combination of the two.
Yeah. And one thing, I'm seeing, and I want you to see this, I want you to close your eyes because I want you to see this visual. I want you to go back to the first thing she showed us, which was that every time she took a step, the earth rolled for her. Right? But she's showing me if she doesn't lift up her damn foot.
Yeah.
The world, though, the earth can't roll her. So this is. This is the misconception of divine feminine energy, right? Like, you. Like, you know me, like, all day long, I want to receive. This is the life I live. But without lifting a foot, without taking an action, the divine feminine, it does nothing, right? So she's showing me, you have to lift up your foot. But when you do, oh, sister, I am there. I will support you. I will hold you, but you have to take the action. So the action is setting aside every day when you're going to swim in the deliciousness and use that verbiage. When am I going to swim in the deliciousness of this book? And it's got to be on the calendar, and it's got to be. You have to take this step. Right? Can you feel that? Like, she's. She's very loving and very fierce.
I know.
She's very isis. Very Isis right here. Right?
Like, I'm so. Like that.
Yeah.
Loving. But. But when I get serious, I get serious. And that's what I. That's the message I'm hearing. It's time to get serious.
It's time. Yeah.
It's confirmed about this.
And.
And.
And she's very. Your book is very. Like, I've been. I've been patient.
I'm out.
Like, no more. No more. Like, it's. It's here. It just has to be brought through. Right? And here's why. Okay, Dana, I'm going to go into your heart here. It's not about you being an author, and it's not about the book. It's about every single woman who is starving for this book. That's why you write this book. It has nothing to do with you writing the book. Okay? So I'm going to tell you a little story. Okay? So I'm in salsa and buchata, which is, like, very sexy. Like, here I am, 39, five kids. And my soul's asking me to dance like this, right? And the first class, it's not my private class. I'm going, and I'm dancing with all these people. I'm, like, freaking out. Oh, my gosh, People are going to see me. This is so scary. This is so frightening. And it was all about me. And then I get to class, and it had nothing to do with me. Every partner, I showed up for them, and there were some who were scared out of their mind, and I'm just breathing with them, like, hey, let's just find the music. Let's just find our breath. And then there were some who were amazing. They're spinning me around. I'm having the best time of my life, and I leave the class and I hear, this had nothing to do with you. You just showed up, and you showed up for every single partner exactly where they needed you to show up. This was service. And that's how I want you to feel with this book. This book has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with if you write it correctly or if you take your gifts and put it out into the perfect words. It has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with you showing up for every single woman who's ready to rise, Every single woman who's been trying to paddle and get on that damn wave and can't. That's what this book is. This book is like, hey, sister, I got you. I'm going to nudge you so you get on the wave so that you can rise with all the rest of us. That's why this book is, like, super sassy about getting born. Because she's like, women needed this yesterday. Let's go.
Yeah.
Okay. So anytime you get stuck and, like, am I doing this right?
It's not about me.
It's not about you. It's not about you. And I want you to think about Dana, the Dana before she rose, okay? And I want you to think about all the women who are exactly like you were. And you're going to think about her, and you're going to pray for her. While you're writing, you're praying for these women. This book is like, your prayer book for them. This book is the recipe of magical, like, solutions that they. It's in the realm of what they don't know that they don't know, so they can't find it.
Okay?
So you just need to be in that space, and all the garbage is going to clear out because service trumps everything. Okay?
That feels so good writing that book to me, that old me before I wrote. Because that's who I'm writing to. That is why. Hello. It's so simple. It sounds so simple, but that is so brilliant. And there's something about that, serving her, that woman that is. That's always whole scalling for with this book. A man that didn't know she had a lot that she didn't know and spend her days unworthy and not enough days and days. And as a result, emotionally ate and binged, watched movies all day and felt like, what's the point? You know? Felt like she wasn't a good enough mom. Like, that woman. That's the woman. And I freaking love that woman a lot. That's so good. That. That's huge.
So why.
Feel her? That's so good, Kira.
Well, I want you to click in here. Okay? So we're going to recode your body. I love when I say things, I'm like, I have no idea how to do this.
Yes. My soul says, yes, I'm a yes.
I love when words come out into my brain's like, do you know how to do that? Sure. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. All right, Dana, so we're going to recode. I want you to take a deep breath in. I want you to feel this vibration, the vibration of serving her. And then I want you to see how, like, how many women right now are living that life. Like, what's the point? Why? They're numbing their pain with food. They're numbing their pain with social media, with tv, with anything that's going to keep them from seeing who they really are. Oh, hell no. Like, Dana, you can't not write this book, okay? Because I was her. I'm so grateful that I, like, had. Oh, my gosh, Dana, like, this book has to be written because when I lived below my level of brilliance, I was so, so depressed and I didn't know why. And this is what your book is. Your book is showing them you're depressed because you're living so below what you came to do. Like, oh, my gosh. So in this energy. Hold on. Stay here. Stay here because we're going to recode, okay? So stay here. I want you to take a deep breath in. I want you to feel right within the DNA coding of your body. Like this shift, that right here, this level of service is the only energy that you vibrate from. And this book is going to be birthed 21 days. It's telling me 21 days. And this book is Complete. So we're going to code that into your body. We're going to root it into your being. Because there are women who are, like, walking around in the shell of their existence because nobody has shown them their brilliance. And. Damn it. Like, no. More. Like, let women remember who they are. Okay? So we're going to pour that through you from the top to the bottom, in, around, underneath, below, within every cell of your body, within the coding, within your DNA. And then we're going to ask that all of your angels open the pathways. The time every single day will be opened up so that you can swim in the deliciousness of this book. That this book will come through you within 21 days with power, with the majesty and royalty of this book. And that the red carpet is rolled out for you every day as you write it. Okay. All right, Fred. So it is.
And so it is.
How do you feel?
Like, that was such a huge shift and really good. And that's that my. Myself needs me. My. My old self needs me. And writing this is for her and for everyone like her. Yeah. That is incredible.
And we're just witnesses, right? Like, you tell your story. My story is the same. Yeah, right. Like, I spent my days downing Dr. Pepper. I think, like, six, 60 ounces a day to numb my pain. I remember. I remember going to some event, and they were like, what's your favorite thing? And I was like, I got nothing. Dr. Pepper is my favorite thing. That's it. Like, it's my best friend. It's the only thing I live for. Like, what the hell? Right? Like, little did that know that she was going to, like, freaking go build a publishing house and help people channel their books. And this was five years ago. This is. Yes, this is five years ago. So, like, let's just sit in the space of what happens when we wake up to our purpose. Because, one, I don't drink Dr. Pepper. I don't even eat sugar anymore. Right. Like, it has no part in my life because every cell in my body has changed because I woke up to my brilliance. And we are both witnesses of what happens when you live below your brilliance. It is the deepest level of depression. And when you wake up to your brilliance, it is the most extraordinary life possible. And your book is going to help women do this. Holy hell, yes. Holy hell, yes.
Holy hell, yes.
Oh, my gosh. Dana. Let's get this book done. 21 days. Look at your calendar really quick. And then I have to go. I have a client in two minutes. Let's look. What is 21 days from now.
It is August 31st. There you go.
That feels real good. August 31st. So you're going to Florence Scovel shin this every day. I am so grateful that my book is complete. It is August 31st, and my book is complete. It has been the most delicious 21 days of my life. It has been expansive. It has been extraordinary. It has been like swimming in freaking velvet pudding. And so that is. All right, here we go. Velvet pudding, swimming, 21 days. We're gonna have you back on the show.
All right. Okay.
I love you.
I love you. Let me.
Let's do this. Okay. We're gonna wrap your book in the most glorious swaddle of diamonds. Of course, it's the only way this book will leave. So we're wrapping her in diamonds because she is the most precious and the most beautiful of the stones. So much, so much took. It took so much to get her to be a diamond. So I really want you to feel that that's why it's wrapped in diamonds, not just because they're also royalty. And then we're going to wrap you in a river of momentum that every time you breathe, action pours through from your body and that you will be in this river of momentum for the next 21 days. Okay.
Yep, I'm in.
Oh, I love you. Are you coming to Arizona? Are you gonna come to the event?
Arizona?
Yes, the event where I'm speaking with Glennon Doyle. Are you coming?
No, because I have Carson City writing. I'm gonna go write at the writer's retreat with angel, and it's so cool.
I know. Well, your book's gonna be done by then, so I guess you'll have to write something else.
I have. Yeah, I have another book.
Okay. All right. Okay. I love you. I love you. If you loved this video, then I invite you to come over with me right here and watch a few more of my book channeling sessions. Join me as I sit with authors and we channel through books that are here to transform humanity. I think you're gonna love them.
