  • How can we reconnect with the impressions & resources of our ancestral lineage, in somatic ways?

    I recently invited Rani George, a practitioner steeped in both Eastern & Western spirituality, to join us for an exploration of ancestral reconnection at our The Future Is Embodied Conference.

    During the conversation Rani offered us an experiential practice of expanding our awareness to perceive more of our ancestors, somatically. I just had to share it more widely so today on the podcast we’re joined by Healing Arts Practitioner Rani George.

    In this conversation we explore:
    - Rani’s mystical awakening into her indigeneity
    - The traumas and resources that are passed down through our ancestors
    - Rani’s diverse cultural teachers and what they have reminded her of the ‘universal Indigenous Field’
    - Why reconnecting with our indigeneity isn’t a modality - but rather a way of living
    - Jenna & Rani share diverse examples of how our indigeneity speak to us, through the body
    - Rani guides us on a powerful 15 min experiencing of expanding our bodies wisdom to perceive our ancestors
    - Two beautiful practices to deepen your ancestral connections

  • How can our businesses be an extension of our embodied values & political views?

    If we’re interested in doing business in more embodied ways, we have to examine how the inherited marketing and business practices many of us have been indoctrinated into are not rooted in the values WE hold dear.
    Today, we’re speaking with Feminist Business Educator Kelly Diels about marketing practices that can shift culture & what it looks like in practice.

    From social media to email marketing, how we choose the images we use and what we actually market, Kelly shares with us practical suggestions for genuinely liberatory practices in business.

    In this interview, we explore:

    How Kelly incorporates her political & culture-making practices into her business Transcending the inherited status quo marketing tactics to align selling with your values The Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand (FLEB) & how to know if you’re centering this (or your body of work) in your marketing Strategies Kelly uses in her business to shift culture - from email consent, how she chooses imagery & signal boosting The input Kelly uses to fuel prolific (& powerful) expression Creating consistency on social media when you’re an ebb & flow kind of person

    Kelly Diels is feminist educator, writer, and coach. She specializes in feminist marketing for culture-makers. She’s here to raise awareness about how the business-as-usual formulas we learn everywhere actually reproduce oppression. She develops and teaches alternate, feminist marketing tools to help us do it differently (and better).

  • How can we work DEEP in the body without ‘blowing up’ someone’s trauma?

    Almost all somatic practitioners (including embodiment coaches) I work go through a phase of feeling super worried about activating latent trauma & triggering a client. This is a conversation I have with women a lot.

    Sometimes, this fear manifests as an extreme over-abundance of caution, need to “get it right” & hyper-fixation on strategies.

    This results in practitioners holding themselves back from deepening into sensation - to everyone’s detriment, especially the clients.

    Today on the podcast we’re speaking with Somatic Psychotherapist & founder of The School of Integrative Somatic Psychotherapy Monique Pangari about somatic approaches to trauma-centric therapy and what practitioners need to know if they are worried about activating latent trauma (plus so much more).

    Monique's training & experience is vast & in this conversation, we explore:
    - Examples of somatic strategies to support clients in a trauma therapy setting
    - Why embodied approach are deceptively simple & some of the core components for practitioners to make them work well
    - The difference between trauma therapy, therapy & coaching
    - What practitioners need to know if they are worried about activating a client’s trauma
    - The importance of rupture & repair for practitioners
    - Attachment styles & the work Monique created for counsellors & psychotherapists

    About Monique Pangari

  • 2021 was the year of my (mini) professional crisis.

    There were big decisions to make, and I was feeling deeply confused about the direction I wanted to grow in professionally & with our school.

    What kind of business (& life) did I want to have?
    Did I want to blow up my creation?

    It took me a long time to find a mentor to help me navigate what was right, for me.

    I wanted someone who worked in deeply embodied ways. Someone who would support me if I decided to throw in the towel & make the decision to destroy my creation. And also someone who was a little bit magic.

    Somehow (I think it was the power of Instagram) Rachael Maddox entered my life.

    She’d just closed her own Coaching School down (to begin a conception journey) and was making some radical changes in her business model. She was EMBODIED AF. And supported CEOs. We started working together - and I’ve loved her since.

    Recently I spoke with Rachael as part of our The Future Is Embodied Conference. Our conversation was a dive into the ethics of embodied business & how Rachael navigates her work as a witch & mentor.

    It was such a rich conversation I wanted to bring it to you today, in the hopes you find some “unconventional” courage to follow your path (whatever that is) to the best version of your work in the world.

    Of course, I didn’t close down our school, or decide to blow anything up in the end. Which is what I love so much about EMBODIMENT work. It’s an invitation to find YOUR body's truth. Which won’t look the same as anyone else. What’s right for you won’t be right for them. But holding space for ALL the possibilities, even the wild & witchy ones remains something I hold as so valuable.

  • Women from all walks of life are experiencing epidemic levels of disembodied. It’s rife!

    No matter our cultural background or country of origin, many of us know what it’s like to feel numb, disconnected from ourselves & overridden by what the world demands of us.

    Today we’re speaking with three Feminine Embodiment Coaches, all from diverse backgrounds who have found their way home to embodiment work and are supporting their clients to do the same in the realms of dating, career & rites of passage.

  • The more we notice how disembodied our culture is, the more we have to wonder… how the fuck did we get here?

    In my quest to answer that question I stumbled into the world of feminism & across the work of Dr. Kimberly B George thank the goddess I did) several years ago.

    There are so many ways feminists (including Kimberly) have empowered & supported my embodiment skills.

    Every few years I catch up with Kimberly (most recently at our conference) for a rich discussion on the topic of feminism, embodiment & what is truly life giving. This year’s installment was as potent as ever & today I’m sharing it (and Kimberly) on the podcast with you…

    In this conversation, we explore some hard topics such as:

    Where do feminism & embodiment overlap? How do ‘modern’ somatic & embodiment practices create harm Is embodiment selfish when the world is (literally) burning, and how do we reconcile this? What’s the role of intellectual understanding of how we got here? We speak about the intellectual path that supports the safety of sensation and how that’s different from intellectual bypassing Kimberly shares two of her favorite feminist foremothers' works

  • What can ancient erotic texts teach us about sensuality & sexuality?

    Many narratives around women's sensuality are rooted in religious-sin, purity or porn-that-distorts reality. But what could we learn about a woman's right to pleasure from ancient erotic texts, texts such as the Kama Sutra?

    On the podcast today we’re joined by mythologist Seema Anand who has been studying women’s story of pleasure & sexuality through the Kama Sutra for the past 23 years.

    Join us for this conversation exploring:

    Seema’s search for stories about a woman’s right to her own pleasure & how it lead her to the Kama Sutra Ancient erotic texts & what they have to teach us about pleasure What the Kama Sutra is (it’s not a book of positions) and why jewelry & pleasure are central to it’s erotic teachings What’s missing for modern women - how our emotional & intellectual vocabulary around pleasure is letting us down

  • Today we’re joined by India Pierce, an Educator and Consultant who helps others boldly chase joy and improve their equity practices & organizational culture.

    India is a guest teacher on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Liberation for our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - and a fellow entrepreneur who believes embodiment is freedom work.

    I spoke with India as part of ‘The Future Is Embodied Conference’ late last year & our conversation was so rich, I thought it best to open the enclosures & share this conversation more widely. So today, it’s coming to you on the podcast.

    In this conversation, we explore:

    How India found embodiment through religion & the three dimensions of her embodied living

    Extractive activism & divine activism - we speak about the different fuels for movements

    India’s journey back to her body through experiences of her emerging queer identity & pregnancy loss

    Why India sees Embodiment as liberation work

    JOY - Being guided by joy & why joy is freedom work

    Is it selfish to prioritize joy? The difference between self-care, joy, collective liberation

    2 practices for coaches, practitioners & those working in the embodied arts to center DEI and liberation in their work

    Advice - This conversation discusses pregnancy loss

    India Pierce is an entrepreneur, educator, and consultant who helps others boldly chase joy. After over a decade of working with businesses to improve their equity practices and organizational culture, she realized that something was sorely missing from the organizations and daily lives of the business owners she worked with; you know what that thing was? Joy! That realization went on to drastically change her work and life. Dubbing herself a “joy ambassador,” India launched India Pierce Consulting to encourage people to put the joy back into their work. She supports organizations in creating joyful and equitable workplaces where employees thrive and find fulfillment. As well as, small business owners in building their businesses with their joy in mind so they can grow their business without sacrificing their greatest vision for their life. Outside of work, she is completing her doctorate, enjoys spending time with her family, binging RomComs, and eating pizza.

  • While the embodied & feminine arts have called to me for a loooong time. It took me a while to figure out how to weave them into the way I work.

    The subtle hyper-masculine, head-first way of operating is so easy to slip into when I’ve got shit to do.

    I’m still excavating and rewiring the ways I dishonor my body & attempt to be productive in disembodied ways (despite knowing that it’s far less fun AND less effective).

    No matter what your career, work, profession, study, or pursuit… we can all work in more embodied ways.

    Today on the podcast I’m sharing some of the keyframes & THE key tool I use to help me weave embodiment into my doing. It’s a game changer for how creative, alive & GOOD I feel as I get shit done.

    In this episode, we’re exploring: 3 pearls for working in more embodied ways The Embodied Planner Jenna uses to plan her week (it’s a game changer) How we can hack our body for inspiration, not productivity How my menstrual cycle influences my work planning What my work week looks like & the conditions I need for creative inspiration Magnetism & how to weave the principles of receptivity into our somatic orientation

  • I’m an avid learner. Right now there are about 2 training, 5 books & a handful of experiences I’m just itching to dive into.

    But I’ve hesitated pressing GO on all of them because - I want to calculate the return on investment & make sure I’m making wise use of my resources (time, money, energy) before I press GO!
    So how do we calculate our return on investment?

    When training, experiences, or next steps feel risky & we’re worried “will this work out”, how do we decide?

    Over the years I’ve developed three questions I ask myself to clarify if I’m making the RIGHT decisions for the RIGHT reasons. I’m sharing them with you on the podcast today.

    You are the expert in your body & life. No one else will make the same ‘RIGHT’ decision as you (which makes it even harder to navigate what is right).

    These questions are not designed to lead you towards something that’s safe, or predictable. Rather they are designed to illuminate what’s true for you.

    In this episode, we’re exploring:

    The 3 questions I use to decide if I’ll see a return on investment We discuss conventional investment vs. investing in your values & desires When “shoulds” are driving your decisions & what to do about it Some of the investments I’ve made lately & how I came to those decisions.

  • What image comes to mind when you think of the coaching industry?

    Whether you’re a coach, client, practitioner, or random person on the street the general impression that tends to bubble up is concerned with Instagram celebrity status or a bit of a ‘woo-woo left of field’ ick factor.

    Today on the podcast, we’re exploring what coaching is NOT.

    If you’re a practitioner in the field of transformation/personal development, or equally drawn/repulsed by the word, this is an excellent episode.

    We’re diving into:

    What coaching IS & what it ISN’T - things people do they call coaching, which is not, in fact coaching What a great coach should be creating & the 🔑 technology they use to create that outcome Why giving advice, fixing, solving & telling your story is not coaching & why we do these things to avoid vulnerability Coaching vs. Mentoring vs. Facilitating - we break apart the components, depths, directions & tools of these different types of practitionership

  • Can I make good money from my passions?

    Is this a viable career?

    Will I be able to replace my income, or exceed it?

    I’m worried the industry I want to move into is saturated. Will there be room (and income) for me?

    These are just a few of the (very valid) questions I hear women contemplate when working toward their passions.

    I understand it. I wanted the know if I could replace - or exceed - the income of my original career (in pharmacy), while doing work that felt more meaningful & aligned with my personal values.

    In this podcast, we explore: The 2 skill sets you need to make money from your passions (& which order you should develop them in) We chat about Instagram reality VS the actual phases of business maturation My money journey - I share my money journey & the details of what I earned then & now Business models - We speak about business models for coaches, what I’ve tried & for example income from some of our graduate coaches Practical tips for minimizing risk & maximizing your return on investment in following your passions The #1 trap most new entrepreneurs fall into and why we have to avoid staying caught in the busy mechanic role (and which role we should focus on instead)

  • I accidentally became an entrepreneur.

    It wasn’t something I chose, and it’s not a term I identify with strongly.

    But at some point following my passions, it just kind of happened - I had a business.

    I had to learn the skills to run that business. Skills like money management & managing a team. Skills to build structure, find tech solutions to my problems & profitably price services so we could stay cash positive.

    Such grown-up considerations, none of which I really said YES to when I chose to pursue my passions.

    I see this a lot…

    Women are following their passions, and then all of a sudden realize it (might) mean also becoming a business witch.

    It can be overwhelming. An unexpected (yet obvious) fork in the road.

    You’re still figuring out your passions & likely honing your skills to do your trade well. Yet you also need to consider a whole (previously unexplored) frontier of business.

    I wish I had known what I was getting into earlier.

    I bloody LOVE entrepreneurship & the joy, creativity, challenge & expansion that comes with it.

    But because looking back, the distinction was (is) so obvious if only someone had pointed it out. So today, on the podcast, I’m doing just that.

    Today on the podcast we’re exploring…

    How I accidentally found myself on the entrepreneurial path The difference between the skills of your trade & the skills of your business Which skill to focus on first The two key questions to ask yourself if you’re on the path of your passions The 6 Pillars of Entrepreneurship How our business structure has grown over the years & what it looks like now Resources From Today’s Podcast Pursuing Your Passions Limited Podcast Series - sign up for all 9 episodes here Profit First by Michael Michalowicz Feminine Embodiment Coaching – an emotional embodiment & vulnerability-based professional training for coaches Primal Feminine Flow – Embodied At Home Movement Practice School of Embodied Arts Leave a podcast review on iTunes here Thought or reflection to share?

  • Are you secretly dreaming of the day you never have to come in to work again?

    Imagining what it would be like to quit & revel in the freedom of taking your next step towards working your passions?

    I’m feeling you. I used to have a 40 min commute down a highway every morning to a job that started at 7am & I just couldn’t bloody wait to hand in my resignation.

    Except, it took several years of preparing my passions before I was ready to resign.
    So how do we tolerate “the job” in the interim?
    How can we (dare I say it) enjoy the work we’re doing, when we know this career isn’t for us in the long term?

    It can be a real struggle to show up to a job & career you’re ready to leave. But for many of us, it’s a necessary phase of our transition towards our passions.

    Today on the podcast we’re exploring these deeper dynamics…
