195. How To Make Embodied Decisions: When Pros & Cons Don't Cut It

What to kick indecision to the curb & get clear on your next move, in the most embodied way? Me too. Which is why I love embodied decisions. Beyond a list of pros & cons, embodied decisions help us make slow, considered, felt decisions that sincerely get to the heart of what we value, how we want to feel & how we can step into more of ourselves. I've used embodied decision making countless times (with myself & my clients). So today on the podcast we're diving into how to do it & a recent example from my life… Resources mentioned in this podcast: * Somatic Self Coaching [https://jennaward.co/self/] - free guide * Info Session [http://jennaward.co/info/] - Explore the Philosophy of Feminine Embodiment Coaching * Primal Feminine Flow [https://jennaward.co/flow/] - at home embodiment practice * Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification [https://jennaward.co/feminine-embodiment-coach/] - professional training

194. Coming Home to Worth: How I'm Dismantling the Stories Extractive Capitalism Built Inside My Body

If you want to embody deep worthiness that floats around you in an aura of constant, unquestioning I am enough… you just need to dismantle the scaffolding capitalism built inside your body. Capitalism has (without our consent) built stories inside our bodies that tell us we are what we own, what we produce and what we earn. So let's unpack those & dismantle this scaffolding! In this podcast Jenna Ward (Feminine Embodiment Coach & Founder of the School of Embodied Arts) explores how we can become more embodied & full in our feminine flow by dismantling the stories capitalism has shaped us with. Because you are not what you get done. You are not what you own. And your value is not what you earn. You are a precious part of the web of life. Just as you are.

193. The Feminine Wisdom of Nature: 4 Life-Changing Lessons from Mother Nature

If you want to weave more feminine into your day, start taking lessons from mother nature. More than any other practice, book or teacher… Mother nature has taught me the most about what it means to embrace & embody more of my full spectrum feminine. This podcast with Feminine Embodiment Coach Jenna Ward [https://jennaward.co/] dives into emotional intelligence, cyclical living & feminine wisdom. We explore what feminine embodiment means beyond gender, why Mother Nature is one of the most powerful teachers of feminine wisdom & how to embrace the full spectrum of emotions through embodiment.

192. Feeling Rushed or Disconnected? 5 Bite-Sized Embodiment Practices To Try

Want to shift from rushed → calm, and going through the motions → deeply connected (without going on a retreat or spending a week in meditation)? Me too!!! Most of us know what it feels like to go through the motions - ticking off the to-do list, getting from one task to the next, collapsing into bed and wondering where the day actually went. Not burned out exactly. Just... a little numb. A little out of touch with ourselves. We've got a new podcast sharing 5 practices I've been loving lately as a human trying to actually feel her days, not just survive them. None of these require a retreat, a ritual, or an hour of free time. They are tiny practices that create a big exhale as you get more calm & connected (to yourself, your aliveness & our world).
