S11E8 - AI Self-Coaching? & Will Coaches Be Replaced?
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward
Will AI replace coaches? And how can we use AI to self coach us through everyday challenges? Lately a dear friend of mine, also an embodiment practitioner, & I have been joking about “AI Therapy”. We’ve had a few tricky situations, and have turned to chat GPT to channel advice in the tone of some of our favorite authors, mentors and coaches. It’s been illuminating, funny, and sometimes insightful. It’s gotten me thinking about the role of AI in replacing coaches. It’s also opened up some ideas about how we can use AI for self coaching… Today on...

S11E6 - Embodied Parenting: Part 2
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward
Catch Part 1 of this 2-part series . Raising kids the embodied way is an experiment I’m in the midst of. I have a 5 year and 8 month old who are both stubborn, intelligent, creative, brilliant kids. I’m constantly exploring how I can employ emotionally intelligent values in the way I parent. To be clear, this isn’t my speciality, or body of work. I’m a somatic educator & coach, but parenting isn’t my zone of mastery. Today’s podcast came about from a listener's request and it’s something I’m so happy to shed some light on. Today I’m sharing...

S11E5 - Embodied Parenting: Part 1
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward
How can we support our kids to be the most embodied, emotionally intelligent generation ever? I recently received a request from a podcast listener to speak about embodied mothering. I’m not an expert in this area, but as a Feminine Embodiment Coach & international founder of a somatic school of training AND parent to two little humans… I do have lots of thoughts on the topic that I’m so happy to share. Parenting isn’t my body of work. It’s not the space of genius I’m here to contribute to the world. So I haven’t analyzed my parenting in depth to give it language,...

S11E2 - What Philosophy Underpins FEC?
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward
My kids are the most embodied people I know. They are effortlessly, fully, deeply IN their bodies. Feeling and EXPRESSING their inner sensations moment to moment. They remind me embodiment isn’t something we DO to the body. Somatic work isn’t about imposing or doing MORE. It is instead the process of peeling back what isn’t sincere, so we’re left with our simple, yet profound soma. This concept is a bit of a head fuck because so much modern therapy, development & personal growth is about doing or applying something TO the body. Modulating it. Hacking it for...

It means… ✅Getting more of what matters done ✅Having those actions work to their fullest potential ✅Avoiding busy work that keeps me busy but doesn’t DO anything Turning on your magnetism is a (happy) side effect of embodiment. The more we contact the deep currents of aliveness within us, the more we can attune...

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward
How can we reconnect with the impressions & resources of our ancestral lineage, in somatic ways? I recently invited Rani George, a practitioner steeped in both Eastern & Western spirituality, to join us for an exploration of ancestral reconnection at our The Future Is Embodied Conference. During the conversation Rani offered us an experiential practice of expanding our awareness to perceive more of our ancestors, somatically. I just had to share it more widely so today on the podcast we’re joined by Healing Arts Practitioner Rani George. In this...
info_outlineWhile the embodied & feminine arts have called to me for a loooong time. It took me a while to figure out how to weave them into the way I work.
The subtle hyper-masculine, head-first way of operating is so easy to slip into when I’ve got shit to do.
I’m still excavating and rewiring the ways I dishonor my body & attempt to be productive in disembodied ways (despite knowing that it’s far less fun AND less effective).
No matter what your career, work, profession, study, or pursuit… we can all work in more embodied ways.
Today on the podcast I’m sharing some of the keyframes & THE key tool I use to help me weave embodiment into my doing. It’s a game changer for how creative, alive & GOOD I feel as I get shit done.
In this episode, we’re exploring:
- 3 pearls for working in more embodied ways
- The Embodied Planner Jenna uses to plan her week (it’s a game changer)
- How we can hack our body for inspiration, not productivity
- How my menstrual cycle influences my work planning
- What my work week looks like & the conditions I need for creative inspiration
- Magnetism & how to weave the principles of receptivity into our somatic orientation
