Me and Miwa Line Løtveit digs into the levels of self expression and there, straight on, we fuck up our audio and I am sent into a trigger of fear of failure.  So, on live podcast, we dive into the rhelm of the triggered landscape.  How is that, how to meet ourselves and the world in that situation and how to move past what is keeping us from doing what we want and showing up as we truly are.  Miwa has herself gone deep into the world of self expression and facilitate dance, breathwork, drawing, tantric and similar kinds of workshops.  She, as me, comes from a totally normal job, education and life. Which she figured made her unhappy and unfulfilled.    Check out some of her work; https://www.authentic-expression.com/ [https://www.authentic-expression.com/]  Regular Morning Beats in Oslo: https://www.morningbeat.no/ [https://www.morningbeat.no/]  www.youtube.com/@miwa.intuitive.living [http://www.youtube.com/@miwa.intuitive.living]   Music: The beautiful song "Holy Hubris" by my talented friend Lennart Hansen: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5gHzTp8pUzQH8ASPrlFzJv?si=9TJZ_-miTa61jwplSCKKeQ [https://open.spotify.com/artist/5gHzTp8pUzQH8ASPrlFzJv?si=9TJZ_-miTa61jwplSCKKeQ]    I am Therese Fallentin and this is The Gutfeeling podcast.  You can read about me and my services at https://www.empowermentdynamics.no/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa05wcVJxNV9SZHd5S0dvcXJaZHhGOFI0WVpKd3xBQ3Jtc0trblQyN0s5YlR3OTFOS2MwQWVYTVJjMm53c3lodmdsalduZkR5akY1Znh6SmczSkhBZDBZSUJISGZCSm1yQ3pHYlJDaUVwUEpSWVJDT2ExeDFhNldoMHk3TUVtbUhVUUV2dlVrdzhXWkNFaFdmbXZ2UQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.empowermentdynamics.no%2F&v=ZVQmHSvX394]  and about me and the Podcast at https://magefolelsen.com/hjem [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3V2bHRNS09VZTV3RzR5YkM2bUxYWU1YTFhNQXxBQ3Jtc0tuT1pVRGFKaHgtTTk0R1JYbk9yaGRvMnFjY2VPeFlIaTJoNFc0eGJCeHp2Y2ZGeTNWLU9iTkZobUhGd1RsemhmeFBRVlQ1VVctaDVLamtDWXZOTVhQdzVVNFBfSkZKZFV6aUNYUmpQUEsxMkRxclZvOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmagefolelsen.com%2Fhjem&v=ZVQmHSvX394]  Magefølelsen aka The Gut Feeling is also in video format at YouTube at  @TheGutFeeling_Therese  https://youtu.be/ZVQmHSvX394?si=azV-UKxdvBsvRZxC [https://youtu.be/ZVQmHSvX394?si=azV-UKxdvBsvRZxC]  and on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/magefoelelsen.podcast/ [https://www.instagram.com/magefoelelsen.podcast/]    Make yourself a glorious day ya all.

In part one of our conversation me and Miwa Line Løtveit digs into the levels of self expression.    Aliveness.  Being true to yourself.  Being aligned in truth.  How to engage with people we are attracted to.  Grounded in our truth.  Magnetize the people who are attracted by us.  Ressonating energy.  Our intuition knows.  Not performing and pretending to be something we are not. What is really honest.  What is going on on the inside. The feeling of losing control.  Getting paralyzed by failure.  Feeling blank in situations where we really want to perform.  Taking up space.  Going after what we want.  Feeling into the triggers and fears and cutting the bullshit, doing even when it¨s scary.  Standing in our power when we put someone on a pedestal.  Talking to and relaxing around people we are intimidated by.  RBDSM-AT talks. Cutting the mystery. Taking away the drama and fun.  Changing how we look at sexuality.  How is that, how to meet ourselves and the world in that situation and how to move past what is keeping us from doing what we want and showing up as we truly are.  Miwa has herself gone deep into the world of self expression and facilitate dance, breathwork, drawing, tantric and similar kinds of workshops.  She, as me, comes from a totally normal job, education and life.
