[Wise Body] Aliveness As Medicine: Pleasure & Flow Is How We Grow
We’re kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week. → We start 2 March 2026. → Transformation shouldn’t only be heavy, painful or vulnerable (if it is you’re missing half of the key ingredients). Many of us treat our bodies as the sum of our hurts. And when we’re healed enough, whole enough, THEN we can feel good. This approach is noble - but it misses the fact that you don’t have to be “fully healed” BEFORE you become an alive, pleasure-filled human. In fact healing is NOT the fastest path to feeling more radiantly alive, most of the time. Today on our limited series podcast we’re talking about aliveness, pleasure & how we can raise the ceiling on how good we (& our clients) can feel when we stop ‘fixing’ and start cultivating pleasure as power. This episode is drawn directly from frameworks & teachings in our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - which is kicking off 2nd March with a special Orientation Week.

When I was first working with clients it started with… have a chat, hope it worked! Each time I was drawing on my intuition & 🤞hoping we’d find the sweet spot (it was exhausting). Over time I developed a goal-centered foundation to hold both myself & my clients. It made my sessions easier to hold AND allowed me to charge more money for my services.

[Wise Body] The Architecture Of Breakthroughs - Vulnerability That Transforms
If you tune in today & feel I want to walk this path more deeply… We’re kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week. → We start on 2 March 2026. → —------------ If you’re drawn to the embodied arts and feel called to support women in deepening into their body’s wisdom - vulnerability is a KEY tool to get there. But vulnerability can be hard enough to cultivate in ourselves. Let alone with clients who are resistant (or numb). So in today’s podcast, the second of our Wise Body series exploring the 6 domains of embodiment coaching for women practitioners, we're mapping the architecture of breakthroughs using vulnerability. In this episode, we geek out on theories of change, prerequisites for vulnerability, how to cultivate action through flow (not force) & my own recent vulnerable questions. I’ll also share THE key question I ask myself when I’m feeling crunchy & confused… and want to crack my heart open with some (constructive) vulnerability. Hope you enjoy!

If you tune in today & feel I want to walk this path more deeply… We’re kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week. → We start on 2 March 2026. → —------------ How do we shift ourselves (& our clients) from numbness to heart-tingling-ravishing-aliveness (without taking a 10-day silent meditation retreat)? This question is how I got into embodiment. The answer (which I discovered is a “technology” that sits at the 💛 of all somatic modalities) is interoception. I didn't know this word (or WTF it meant) for YEARS into my embodiment journey. I was “doing” embdoiment (& feeling more ravishingly alive) without the fancy theory. But when it was time to guide my clients deeper, I needed to have a better understanding of the underpinning philosophy AND be able to work in more predictable (& safer) ways. So today, on our first episode of The Wise Body limited podcast series, we’re exploring The Felt Sense & Why Interoception Is The 💛of Embodiment.

Moving through my life & then wanting me to move it out into the world. If your calling keeps challenging you, trust that it’s for a reason. The world needs the seed that’s been planted in your heart.

I’m hosting a 5-part podcast on how to step into your most potent practitioner era, letting your gifts and genius shine fully - so you can guide every client session with deep somatic impact & effortless confidence. Today we’re exploring the natural season of high’s & low’s we all experience. Moments we’re stretched, exhausted or not as grounded as we’d like. But just because we’re in our own moments of stress, doesn’t mean we can’t serve our clients in profound ways. On today’s podcast I’m sharing two strategies I use to do epic coaching even when I’m on day one of my cycle, undergoing huge identity shifts, stress, or in other mental health dips. This podcast isn’t about “pushing through” in ways that harm you or extract from you further 🤮. Instead it’s an invitation to work in embodied ways that restore you - while you keep showing up to serve your clients. Because you don’t have to “have it all together” or be the “perfect practitioner” in order to do epic work. Even if you’re dealing with your own stuff, have “further to go” or have more healing to do (who doesn’t) you CAN still be of deep service & do epic work with your clients.

Today we’re on day 2 & I’m sharing 2 rituals that make every session epic! Over the past few months, I’ve been doing everything from three-hour VIP sessions to short 45 minute coaching calls. Before every single session I do these two rituals. They are short & sweet. But most important - these rituals help me enjoy my coaching work more and help my clients get better results. This ritual shifts my energy from pressure to perform to empowered cheerleading. My job is not to create the outcome for them. Their growth is theirs. My role is to hold the container, ask powerful questions, and facilitate access to their own power.

Are you standing at the edge of a career change, craving something more purposeful, but quietly wondering can I really make a living doing what I love? That’s exactly where I was over a decade ago. At the time, I was a hospital pharmacist earning a solid 120k a year. I loved being good at my job, but it was draining me. I wanted to do work that was more creative, flexible, and aligned with my body and values But I needed to make sure it could still pay the bills.

S15E1 - How To Be The Most Magnetic Woman In The Room
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. Magnetism exists in nature: the same energy that guides geese in migration or draws sea turtles back to their birth beach also lives within us. It’s a natural force of attraction between two points. When we embody that energy, we tap into our own receptivity and worthiness to receive what we desire. In this episode we explore: Why some women walk into a room and own the space, without trying (& how you can too) Why overthinking kills your magnetism (and the 10-second reset that brings it back). How to turn on your body’s natural magnetism (in 4 simple steps) Why “being too much” is actually your superpower & how to use it to own the room. Why “professionalism” has secretly been muting your feminine power & how to reclaim it. Resources mentioned in this podcast: - free guide - at home embodiment practice - professional training

S14E6 - Is the Embodiment Industry Too Full - or Just Getting Started?
Last week I was asked “I feel like everyone’s an embodiment coach these days. Is the embodiment market saturated?” Valid concern if you’re called to embodiment & want to earn a rich living steeped in service. I’ve seen this industry & market mature a lot over the past ten years. As an industry-leading training in the embodiment space, our school has a lot of insight into how the market has evolved & what that means for practitioners. So we’re diving into today! Is the market saturated? And what’s required to stand out and succeed right now? In this episode, we explore: Why this calling has woken up in you & what that means The deep cultural need for embodiment in a world disconnected from body, emotion, and sensuality Separating social media “reality” from what’s really required to have a profitable work as a practitioner Why you don't have to compete with the market & how to uncover your unique contribution that only you can offer Practical steps to combine your skills, lived experience, and passion to build a thriving, meaningful career in embodiment. The long story short is… that while your Instagram might be full of “coaches” there is a huge shortage of highly skilled practitioners in a culture of rife with disembodiment. AND you don’t need to be all over social media to have a profitable & meaningful career in embodiment.

S14E4 - BTS: How I Built My Biz Without Hustle
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.

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….

S14E1 - Are You Too Ambitious To Be Feminine? Unpacking Productivity Wounds & Wanting More
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: - free guide - at home embodiment practice - professional training

S13E5 - What Is Embodiment? How Embodiment Found Me (Jenna’s Story)
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 it yet, but what I was searching for was a different way of being. Personally & professionally. Something more vital, more heart-connected, more alive. That search led me into a personal and professional metamorphosis—and eventually into building a whole dedicated to Feminine Embodiment Coaching.

Could Feminine Embodiment Coaching be the missing link to creating the somatic depth you’re craving in your client work, the grounded confidence you yearn for in your practitioner skills, and the sustainability you need to create a rich livelihood of service…. (Even if you’re brand new to coaching or still have further to go on the ‘embodiment’ path yourself) If you’re yearning to move beyond mindset tools & get to the root of what’s holding you (& your clients) back… If you’re called to service, but sense you’re not (yet) bringing your most potent self to client sessions... And you know there is more depth, vulnerability & power available… somewhere inside the body. This session will invite you to experience how Feminine Embodiment Coaching works and taste it for yourself.

S13E3 - What I’m Willing To Pay For (& When a Library Card Will Do)
Want to know the secret to avoid adding (yet another) course to your ‘never quite finished’ shelf? We’ve all bought a training (or five) that didn’t deliver. Perhaps… You lost interest halfway through The star-studded lineup of teachers turned out to be an incohesive mess The pricing looked too good to be true (and it was) The mentors had no vibe & couldn’t hold a resonant space These experiences are a rite of passage. We’ve all been there, as we figure out how to discern the meaningful experiences from the mediocre ones. The difference between experiences that suck and experiences that stick is… the opportunity for embodied learning. Most training has zero embodied learning built into their experiences. For those who are strong self-starters & want to do all the implementation themselves, this could work. But for those of us who want to venture into the unknown, who want to soften & be held. For those of us who want to do things faster by accessing community & on-demand help. Then embodied learning spaces are where it’s at.

Looking to bring more depth to the clients you work with? This is one of the most common yearnings for practitioners we partner with. But how to do it? What are the ingredients for more depth? I’m breaking it down on today’s podcast…. Whether you’re a new practitioner, or already have 200 modalities under your belt, many of us sense there’s deeper layers to access. We feel it for ourselves, and we want to share it with our clients. In the podcast we’re diving into: The 3 key ingredients to bring more depth to your client sessions Why so many highly skilled practitioners have this yearning (despite already being skilled practitioners) Why these ingredients are left out of many transformational modalities How to find more truth & power that your client can tangibly access Some key strategies I use, including my own client examples Resources mentioned in this podcast: - Explore the Philosophy of Feminine Embodiment Coaching - free guide - at home embodiment practice - professional training

S13E1 - The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles
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 unconscious—to sidestep that feeling. In this podcast, I’m sharing the 4 avoidance strategies we use to avoid vulnerability, and how naming your style is the first step to doing something different. We also explore: How important vulnerability is for deeper connection Why so many of us see vulnerability as a weakness (rather than the gift it is) Why recognizing your vulnerability avoidance style is crucial to flexing your vulnerability muscle as a human (& practitioner) The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles Why creating safe spaces for vulnerability is vital for growth.

S12E12 - Navigating Political Change & Polycrisis in Embodied Ways
Why Feminine Embodiment is Essential in Times of Crisis We’re living in intense times—so how can we navigate them in embodied ways? Whether you’re navigating cyclones from climate change, destabilizing political regimens or something else closer to home, it’s beyond heart breaking. So what does this have to do with feminine embodiment? (hint, the answer’s everything). There has never been MORE of a need for feminine power on the planet. So how can we access it, and use it, in embodied ways? 💡 Hint: It all starts in the body. During the podcast, we’ll dive into: What power actually is & how it moves through the body Why personal empowerment is not enough on it’s own How to feel more resourced & stable in wild times, using somatic tools How to prevent feeling frozen or overwhelmed by the polycrisis’ that abound What these times ask of us as practitioners As a mother living with low grade anxiety about the state of the world my kids will inherit, this much is abundantly evident to me - if i don’t do something with my power, then it’s not real power. In the podcast we dive into what I’ve been doing about that. Resources mentioned in this podcast: Free Guide: Book: - the work of Dr. Resmaa Menakem Practice: Training:

S12E11 - WTF is the Feminine?
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. For years. In this episode, we’ll explore: The heart of the feminine: what it really is, how we find more of it How to access it responsibly. I’ll share how I stumbled into this work and why it’s so deeply personal for me. We’ll chat about the 3 books that shaped my explorations My own ancestral ‘feminine’ roots We’ll touch on why patriarchy has silenced the feminine How capitalist systems have commodified it and Why we need this force now more than ever. The feminine is about the full spectrum of feeling, sensation, live-living-itself-ness. So if you’re ready to explore the wild, the untamed, and the transformational energy of the feminine, this episode is for you.
