Wayward Bodies

Winter is calling and in this solo ep I talk about making space for integration, getting quiet, and the importance of going dark in a world that asks us to be 'on' all the time This is the final episode of season one, and the podcast will be in hibernation until early 2022. Thank you so much for being here, your support and enthusiasm makes Wayward Bodies possible. Have a safe and joyful holiday season and I'll be back in your ears in the new year! WORK WITH ME What if you spent this winter cultivating a more generous, loving relationship with your body? What if you used the dark months to become unapologetically yourself, emerging more comfortable in your skin? No 'new year, new me' bullshit, you're already great. Maybe you just need to remember. Interested? My books are open for 1:1 Embodiment Coaching this winter.

Today's episode is a conversation with one of my own teachers, and someone I'm lucky enough to call a friend, Naomi Absalom. I loved the winding path of this conversation. It took us some curious places including staying boundaried on social media, learning to tell the truth and hold the charge in your nervous system, releasing the urgency of capitalist hustle, and creativity as an expression of divinity. Oh and the giant onion of awakening. Of course. ABOUT NAOMI Naomi is a community builder. Her soul’s purpose in life is to unite a collective of bright spirits through the joy of deeply honest conversation, medicinal movement and bone shakingly good music. She is a mother, healer, mentor, writer, doula, ex music industry reveller/ ex PR Director and embodiment coach with 20 plus years experience. She is also the founder of Liberate & Elevate a company providing high quality coaching for creative leaders and changemakers. Originally from Manchester but currently dwelling on the South Coast of England, she is committed to social and ecological change and serves a worldwide community in between cold sea dips and the odd nip of whisky.

Today's episode is a conversation with Kylie Darling about erotic embodiment, the places spirituality and sexuality overlap, and using kink as a way to know yourself. We talked about all sorts of good stuff. The realities of kink (beyond the 50 Shades stereotypes), the interplay of kink and shadow work in accepting all the parts of you, both dark and the light, bringing an attitude of play to your life, both in and out of the bedroom, and the importance of stepping into your desires unapologetically. ABOUT KYLIE Kylie Darling aka Jade Jeepster is a yoga and movement facilitator by day and professional pervert by night. A creator of poetic filth designed to stimulate the mind and personal concepts on sexuality. She has a strong belief that spirituality and sexuality aren’t mutually exclusive and a focus on helping others explore both through yogic philosophy, conscious kink and shadow work Find more of her work: The Iccha Project [https://jadejeepster.wixsite.com/theicchaproject] @_kyliedarling [https://www.instagram.com/_kyliedarling/] @jadejeepster [https://www.instagram.com/jadejeepster/] LINKS & CREDITS Want to join us for Homecoming?

This conversation with Sarah Jones was such a pleasure, not only for her luxurious Welsh accent but also her wisdom and passion. We covered so much ground, chatting about her experience as a yoga teacher living with autoimmune disease, how to honour the uncomfortable truths that our bodies tell us, ableism and the imagined ideal body in wellness, and the importance of body autonomy - especially when dealing with the medical industrial complex. ABOUT SARAH Sarah is an embodied yoga & movement teacher based in beautiful Wales. She's been teaching for 6 years and loves seeing those moments when her students re-discover the beauty of coming home to their bodies. She lives for those moments herself. Practising embodiment has helped her fear her body less, and to cultivate a deep relationship with it even when it's not working for her!

In this solo episode I talk about praxis, imperfect action, and one of the biggest challenges I (and a lot of my clients) deal with in embodiment work - that you can't think your way in.
