What Is Embodiment? How Embodiment Found Me (Jenna’s Story) show art What Is Embodiment? How Embodiment Found Me (Jenna’s Story)

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

How Embodiment Found Me (And Changed Everything) Embodiment has a way of finding us, whispering quietly and planting a curiosity inside us—often long before we even know what the word means.  That was true for me. Back when I was a hospital pharmacist, I had no concept of “embodiment.” But something in me longed for more. My body was trying to tell me that what I was living… wasn’t it. I was sick—literally—Monday through Friday. I did all the tests, took all the medications, but the nausea wouldn’t go. My body knew. I was sick of the system I was part of. I didn’t know...

The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles show art The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

If you’re craving more depth in your own embodiment or in the spaces you hold with clients, vulnerability is non-negotiable.  It’s the key that opens us up to real intimacy and true transformation. When someone shares vulnerably with me—whether it’s a client, colleague or my child—I know we’ve reached the gold.  We’re no longer hovering on the surface. We’re in rich, honest territory. But vulnerability can be confronting. It asks us to feel the tenderness, shame, or discomfort that many of us were taught to avoid. And so, we’ve developed clever strategies—mostly...

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

This energy, this force, this dimension that so many of us feel called to… but struggle to define.  It’s the missing piece, the thing we crave more of—yet, so many are also uncertain:  Is the feminine harmful?  Is it just some new-age fluff?  And how do we navigate these gendered terms if we’re not about old-school binaries? As an intersectional feminist, deeply committed to liberation for all bodies (including from gender norms) I’ve been in this contemplation, too.
