I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. Welcome!
I’m Easter Yassa, In-her WarriorGuide and Creator of In-her Warrior and this training.
Here's me on the right.
I'm about to eat a meal that's filled with gluten and dairy and I'm allergic to both!
I'd wanted blue hair for a decade and finally gave myself permission.
The day I graduated with my Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology I felt really proud.
I want to share with you a remarkable experience I had when I was 18 years old that became the seed, many years later, for In-her Warrior Training. Keep reading or click to play the video below and let me tell you about it.
I was visiting my Aunt in L.A. and was sitting on her balcony overlooking the driveway. Nothing glamorous. No swanky resort, not island hopping in a helicopter, not hiking rural back country. Just sitting above the garage.
I’d been going through a very difficult time in my life with lots of uncertainty and turmoil and I’d been sitting there for a couple of hours when I was stunned by a realization.
My mind had been quiet.
For the first time ever in my 18 years the voice in my mind was silent.
Quiet the mind and the soul will speak
- Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
Now this is not reality altering stuff. But it was for me!
For the first time ever I wasn’t hearing the critical voice in my head. The one that would always tell me I wasn’t good enough, or generating “what if’s” for me to spin on, or telling me I was a “failure” or generating a million different versions of “what I should have said to that person…”. The one that almost daily had me feeling anxious, worried, depressed, passive, overwhelmed and hopeless.
For the first time EVER I realized I didn’t HAVE TO live with that constant commotion in my head.
For the first time EVER I realized I had a choice. I had options.
For the first time EVER I considered that there was a version of me that I had yet to experience that could live in the present, feel calm, and relatively at peace despite all that was happening in my life and around me.
This was GROUND BREAKING!
And while it would be many many years yet before I had the skills to actively quiet the critical voice – the voice which I have come to know as “the gremlin” – it was in part this seed of experience that started both my journey to get trained as a Psychologist and to found In-her Warrior and create this Training program for you.
Your goal is not to battle with the mind, but to witness the mind
– Swami Muktananda
What I realized that day – and what I hope you realize if you choose to use the materials I’m offering here – is that there was a version of me and a part of me that had been completely ignored.
It was a part of me that had been silently watching and observing. Ready to show up, if and when I was ready to see her. A part that was strong and waiting for the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with me once I’d realized that the voice – “the gremlin” – wasn’t actually me.
A part that was ready to help me get out from under the victimizing and brutalizing and dominating voice that I’d come to think of incorrectly as WHO I WAS and ALL of WHO I WAS.
This part was my inner warrior. And she’d been there the whole time. But she couldn’t help me until I first came to realize that I WAS NOT WHO I HAD BELIEVED I WAS. I WAS NOT THIS VOICE. And I didn’t HAVE to live like this ANYMORE if I didn’t want.
It’s the still nature of who we really are that,
when we learn to connect with it and understand it,
takes us home
– Jennifer Williamson
Over the decades, both with friends and colleagues, and eventually over hundreds of hourswith my clients too, I began to try to piece together a way that I could hold onto this and communicate it. The gift I got from doing this was that each time I witnessed another person access their inner warrior I was reminded all over again about my own inner warrior and how she is always there for me whenever and if ever I call on her.
As time went by I started particularly loving seeing this transformation in the women I encountered – both young and old. There was something so POWERFUL in seeing women of all ages connect to the warriors in themselves and stand up to their “inner gremlin” which had held them back and caused them suffering for, in some case, decades and say “ENOUGH!”.
To see women of all ages recognize that part of themselves that had been there all along for them, watching and waiting, ready to assist (their In-her Warrior) was mind blowing for me. To see them get out from years of abuse – because that’s what it can truly feel like at the “hands” of our inner critical voice (our “gremlins”) – was heart bursting!
At times it would lead to tears, other times deep laughter, and other times still a deep and powerful silence that comes from an almost sacred place of knowing. I am so grateful to have witnessed this in so many women.
Silence is a source of great strength
– Lao Tzu
As a result of these experiences I decided to create In-her Warrior and, after much debate and deliberation back and forth between my “gremlin” and my “warrior”, I decided to lead with my In-her Warrior (of course!) and offer the first part of the training at no charge.
I want women everywhere to know they have a choice. I want women everywhere to at least have access to the tools to begin to know, perhaps for the first time ever, that the voice in their heads that tears them down, berates them, terrorizes them, and tells them they can’t have what they want in love, in work, and in life IS NOT THEM.
And so if you’ve made your way here you may be struggling with a pretty dominant and abusive “gremlin”. Maybe you’re trying to believe that things can be different. Maybe you’ve tried other approaches and you’re still struggling. If that’s you, I want YOU to know that this voice IS NOT YOU!
And I also want you hear me say something right now that you may be still struggling to believe could be true: there is a part of you that is watching and observing, waiting to be called forth, ready to assist and stand by you shoulder to shoulder, to support you and to steady you and to remind you WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
It’s a strong part of you. A part of you that you may have caught glimpses of at various times in your life, or maybe you have yet to meet her. Your In-her Warrior.
And I sincerely hope that if we get to work together, that I’ll be able to play a small part in helping you connect with her.
There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen
– Rumi
The videos that follow are part of the free series that form the first part of the In-her Warrior Training and in these videos you’ll be guided through some exercises that are designed to help you begin to separate yourself from your “inner gremlin” and begin to know that WHO YOU ARE IS SOMETHING BIGGER AND BETTER than this voice would have you believe.
The free series won’t take you the whole way there – that work is in the later stages of the training program, which if you’re interested you can participate in. But if it suits you better to just work on the material in the free series, or if the timing is not right for you just now, that is absolutely fine and okay and it’s yours to access and go through as often as you may wish.
If you decide to go through the whole training, or are interested in getting updates about the In-her Warrior Training as I release the modules, then there’s a button below that you can click to give me your name and email address to update you with that information as it comes out.
I am so excited to help you stand up to your “inner gremlin” and to KNOW your In-her Warrior!
