Want to be the most magnetic woman in the room? As a leader, lover, coach, or creative - entering the room & having all eyes turn to see you, hear you & value your presence is a useful way to walk through the world. Magnetism isn’t about being loud or commanding attention. It’s the quiet, radiant energy that draws people in.

S14E1 - Are You Too Ambitious To Be Feminine? Unpacking Productivity Wounds & Wanting More
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward
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...

info_outlineHow can our businesses be an extension of our embodied values & political views?
If we’re interested in doing business in more embodied ways, we have to examine how the inherited marketing and business practices many of us have been indoctrinated into are not rooted in the values WE hold dear.
Today, we’re speaking with Feminist Business Educator Kelly Diels about marketing practices that can shift culture & what it looks like in practice.
From social media to email marketing, how we choose the images we use and what we actually market, Kelly shares with us practical suggestions for genuinely liberatory practices in business.
In this interview, we explore:
- How Kelly incorporates her political & culture-making practices into her business
- Transcending the inherited status quo marketing tactics to align selling with your values
- The Female Lifestyle Empowerment Brand (FLEB) & how to know if you’re centering this (or your body of work) in your marketing
- Strategies Kelly uses in her business to shift culture - from email consent, how she chooses imagery & signal boosting
- The input Kelly uses to fuel prolific (& powerful) expression
- Creating consistency on social media when you’re an ebb & flow kind of person
Kelly Diels is feminist educator, writer, and coach. She specializes in feminist marketing for culture-makers. She’s here to raise awareness about how the business-as-usual formulas we learn everywhere actually reproduce oppression. She develops and teaches alternate, feminist marketing tools to help us do it differently (and better).
