School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

S14E6 - Is the Embodiment Industry Too Full - or Just Getting Started?

Last week I was asked "I feel like everyone's an embodiment coach these days. Is the embodiment market saturated?" Valid concern if you're called to embodiment & want to earn a rich living steeped in service. I've seen this industry & market mature a lot over the past ten years. As an industry-leading training in the embodiment space, our school has a lot of insight into how the market has evolved & what that means for practitioners. So we're diving into today! Is the market saturated? And what's required to stand out and succeed right now? In this episode, we explore: * Why this calling has woken up in you & what that means * The deep cultural need for embodiment in a world disconnected from body, emotion, and sensuality * Separating social media "reality" from what's really required to have a profitable work as a practitioner * Why you don't have to compete with the market & how to uncover your unique contribution that only you can offer * Practical steps to combine your skills, lived experience, and passion to build a thriving, meaningful career in embodiment. The long story short is… that while your Instagram might be full of "coaches" there is a huge shortage of highly skilled practitioners in a culture of rife with disembodiment. AND you don't need to be all over social media to have a profitable & meaningful career in embodiment.

S14E4 - BTS: How I Built My Biz Without Hustle

My first few years in biz as a practitioner & coach were a steep learning curve. First, figuring out how to work as a practitioner, then how to make a secure income. After two years of spending way too much time behind my computer, trying to figure it all out, I made a dramatic choice. I shut down my website. Closed my in-person practice. And went all in on more magnetic ways of working. I've never looked back. In today's podcast, I'm sharing a BTS of this journey & how I eliminated any type of hustle from my work. In this episode, we explore: * The first 3 offers I made in my coaching practice - priced at $40, $150 then $400 * Why shutting down my website changed everything * How I approach offers & projects now (& what a change it's made) * Why I'm after wage security (not 6 figures) * The 3 magnetic shifts I made before doing ANY doing in my work Today's podcast is in honour of the 🧲 Make It Magnetic Mastermind for practitioners and creatives caught in the busy-ness they swore they'd avoid with offerings that aren't paying the bills who instead want to clarify a profitable path to magnetize their next big offer, and work in embodied, non-hustle ways.

Want to be the kind of practitioner that supports your clients to discover their own inner knowing (and avoid telling your clients what to)?
