School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

Have you been feeling too caught up in your head …  Constantly thinking about logistics, with that sneaky thought “what else needs to be done?” on repeat as you optimize every moment of the day …  When what you really crave is a sense of connection & living more fully in your body?  Today, I’m sharing 6 simple and delicious ways to reconnect with your body and embody more aliveness. So make sure you tune in! Embodiment isn’t about effort; it’s about falling back into what’s naturally yours, your innate aliveness, curiosity, and pleasure.  Whether you try one of these pearls or all six, they offer a path to living more fully in your body and reclaiming joy in daily life.

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.   Resources mentioned in this podcast:  * Make It Magnetic Mastermind [https://www.schoolofembodiedarts.com/magnetic] - Starts October 2025 * Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification [https://jennaward.co/feminine-embodiment-coach/] - professional training

Want to be the kind of practitioner that supports your clients to discover their own inner knowing (and avoid telling your clients what to)?  If you’re the kind of person (like me) who strongly dislikes being told want to do, and wants to avoid the ‘know it all’ coachy stereotype in their client work, there’s one simple test you can apply…   In this episode, we unpack: * The “ratio” ninja trick that shows what type of practitioner you are * Key differences between coaching vs. facilitation (they are oceans apart) * Why most embodiment practitioners default to facilitation * The two big reasons I believe coaching creates more transformation and more income * How to shift from leading the session to holding space for deeper breakthroughs   If you’ve been inviting clients into their body - using meditations, guided experiences, and doing a lot of talking…. But you want to help them find more of their own answers instead this podcast is for you!    Resources mentioned in this podcast:  * Somatic Self Coaching [https://jennaward.co/self/] - free guide  * Primal Feminine Flow [https://jennaward.co/flow/] - at home embodiment practice  * Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification [https://jennaward.co/feminine-embodiment-coach/] - professional training

Many of us (myself, and many of my clients)have a complicated relationship with ambition. We’re high-achieving, smart women who know how to get things done.  But often, that productivity comes at a cost.    Burnout. Disconnection. Operating from hyper-masculine energy that pushes us past our limits. So, after burning out, we swing the other way. The feminine. The reclined, passive, soft energy.  But even in that softness, we start to wonder… Can I still want things? Can I still be ambitious and stay feminine?  Can I burn with desire for something and still honour my body? This episode dives into exactly that tension & how we can hold both.  Because ambition isn't unfeminine.   Success doesn’t have to cost us our wellbeing.   Resources mentioned in this podcast:  * Somatic Self Coaching [https://jennaward.co/self/] - free guide  * Primal Feminine Flow [https://jennaward.co/flow/] - at home embodiment practice  * Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification [https://jennaward.co/feminine-embodiment-coach/] - professional training
