Is it a good time to become a coach? You might be thinking of changing careers, or specializing in embodiment coaching. Yet at the same time there’s talk of a recession.

My kids are the most embodied people I know. They are effortlessly, fully, deeply IN their bodies. Feeling and EXPRESSING their inner sensations moment to moment. They remind me embodiment isn’t something we DO to the body. Somatic work isn’t about imposing or doing MORE. It is instead the process of peeling back what isn’t sincere, so we’re left w…

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 K…

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 o…

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 r…

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 backgrou…

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…

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.

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 disembo…

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 o…

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

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

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 want…

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 p…

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?

If you desire to be more embodied, more of the time, the #1 skill to develop is sensitivity. Sensitivity is a skill many of us were never taught, nor taught to value. Yet in dampening our ability to feel, sense & perceive the textures, sensations & knowings of our inner world, many of us have (inadvertently) left our bodies. My journey back home to…

One would assume that yoga classes (where we do asanas, or postures) should be embodied. Given the deep spiritual roots of yoga from various Indian philosophies & teachers, you’d expect yoga to be something that bought you deeper into inhabiting and expressing yourself fully (my definition of embodiment). Except I frequently find myself in yoga cla…

The first time I read about Polyvagal Theory, so much made sense. The idea that “stress” isn’t just all adrenaline-running-around-drama, but can also also/often show up as frozen-shut-down-numbness really hit home. I feel so many of us have constant moderate-grade stress in our lives that just leaves us feeling… numb. Understanding Polyvagal Theory…

The single biggest hurdle to doing more embodied movement practice, for me personally, is the tight grip of urgency I often feel around time. Today on the podcast, I’m chatting with Rochelle Schieck, founder of the Qoya movement method. A big part of our conversation is exploring how we unwind the urgency of linear time & use the body as a portal t…

How can we be fully human? Seems like an obvious question, but when the demands (stress/trauma) of our culture & lived experience asks us to show up more like a machine than an organic being, it’s a valid one. Nahid de Belgeonne, the founder of The Human Method, believes “our modern times are relentless and our nervous system just isn’t built for t…

For the first few years of my personal development & embodiment journey I was focusing on everything I needed to fix. There was always some mindset, funky feeling, boundary, or upper limit that needed solving. After a while, I realized that, while the skills to meet these undesirable were essential, they were not the only embodiment skills I yearne…

I’ve sweated more this past month than I have in the past 5 years. After a looooong absence from the high-intensity-energy scene, I’m back in my high-rise activewear that Australians love so much (activewear is a legitimate 24/7 dress code where I live). It’s got me thinking a lot about my journey from a once-hard-core-hot-yoga-fan to a never-exerc…

A few months ago my husband & I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary in Belgium. He knows my love language (luxury) so we luxed it up over a lavish long weekend. How I ended up dating (then marrying) this guy was/is one of the wildest, life-altering decisions of my life. As a woman now in a cross-cultural relationship, living between two countrie…

For leaders shifting away from the cultural norms of leadership obsess with “more” “bigger” and “eternal summer/growth”, who can we look to for guidance?

In the shower last night I noticed a whole heap of new grey hair. My body reveling the inner maturing I feel has happened these past few years. Midlife is the phase around our 40s (I’m in my late 30s but already feel the phase of mature feminine midlife approaching - plus, my husband would tell you I’m an old soul). Midlife is an often un-celebrate…

If there’s one thing I wish my younger self knew, it’s this: Pleasure is a practice. I wish the younger me knew, you’re not intrinsically deficient in your lack of pleasure. I would whisper, ‘always having something to unravel & heal’ isn’t necessarily going to bring you more pleasure, so don’t go over the top down that path. Yes, it’s necessary to…

Is there an aspect of yourself you’re wanting to get to know more? Perhaps your inner wild woman or discerning decision maker? I’m a fan of trying on archetypes.
