How 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 ..read more

How can we work DEEP in the body without ‘blowing up’ someone’s trauma?  Almost all somatic practitioners (including embodiment coaches) I work go through a phase of feeling super worried about activating latent trauma & triggering a client. This is a conversation I have with women a lot.  Sometimes, this fear manifests as an extreme over-abundance of caution, need to “get it right” & hyper-fixation on strategies.  This results in practitioners holding themselves back from deepening into sensation - to everyone’s detriment, especially the clients.    Today on t ..read more

2021 was the year of my (mini) professional crisis. There were big decisions to make, and I was feeling deeply confused about the direction I wanted to grow in professionally & with our school. What kind of business (& life) did I want to have? Did I want to blow up my creation? It took me a long time to find a mentor to help me navigate what was right, for me. I wanted someone who worked in deeply embodied ways. Someone who would support me if I decided to throw in the towel & make the decision to destroy my creation. And also someone who was a little bit magic.  Somehow (I t ..read more

The more we notice how disembodied our culture is, the more we have to wonder… how the fuck did we get here? In my quest to answer that question I stumbled into the world of feminism & across the work of  Dr. Kimberly B George  thank the goddess I did) several years ago. There are so many ways feminists (including Kimberly) have empowered & supported my embodiment skills. Every few years I catch up with Kimberly (most recently at our conference) for a rich discussion on the topic of feminism, embodiment & what is truly life giving. This year’s installment was as potent as ..read more

What can ancient erotic texts teach us about sensuality & sexuality?  Many narratives around women's sensuality are rooted in religious-sin, purity or porn-that-distorts reality.
