Emotionally empowered, sensually alive, and magnetic women discuss how to live, lead, coach & embody more of their feminine nature with Feminine Embodiment Coach Jenna Ward. This podcast is for women who demand deep, vulnerable living. To us, the feminine so much more than floral skirts, love & light. It's also about dark, messy, transformation & intimacy with all the currents of life that want to have their way with us.

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 prac…

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 K…

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 o…

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 r…

Women from all walks of life are experiencing epidemic levels of disembodied. It’s rife! No matter our cultural background or country of origin, many of us know what it’s like to feel numb, disconnected from ourselves & overridden by what the world demands of us. Today we’re speaking with three Feminine Embodiment Coaches, all from diverse backgrou…

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…

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. But what could we learn about a woman's right to pleasure from ancient erotic texts, texts such as the Kama Sutra? On the podcast today we’re joined by mythologist Seema An…

While 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 disembo…

I’m an avid learner. Right now there are about 2 training, 5 books & a handful of experiences I’m just itching to dive into. But I’ve hesitated pressing GO on all of them because - I want to calculate the return on investment & make sure I’m making wise use of my resources (time, money, energy) before I press GO! So how do we calculate our return o…

What image comes to mind when you think of the coaching industry? Whether you’re a coach, client, practitioner, or random person on the street the general impression that tends to bubble up is concerned with Instagram celebrity status or a bit of a ‘woo-woo left of field’ ick factor. Today on the podcast, we’re exploring what coaching is NOT. If yo…

Can I make good money from my passions? Is this a viable career? Will I be able to replace my income, or exceed it? I’m worried the industry I want to move into is saturated. Will there be room (and income) for me? These are just a few of the (very valid) questions I hear women contemplate when working toward their passions. I understand it. I want…

I accidentally became an entrepreneur. It wasn’t something I chose, and it’s not a term I identify with strongly. But at some point following my passions, it just kind of happened - I had a business. I had to learn the skills to run that business. Skills like money management & managing a team. Skills to build structure, find tech solutions to my p…

Are you secretly dreaming of the day you never have to come in to work again? Imagining what it would be like to quit & revel in the freedom of taking your next step towards working your passions? I’m feeling you. I used to have a 40 min commute down a highway every morning to a job that started at 7am & I just couldn’t bloody wait to hand in my re…

Considering a career transition? Desiring to deepen the quota of passion & purpose in your work (& life)? Transitioning to more meaningful work is something I’m constantly involved with. Our School supports women to deepen their professional mastery in the embodied arts & often transition into careers as coaches. I’m also personally on my third car…

If you desire to be more embodied, more of the time, the #1 skill to develop is sensitivity. Sensitivity is a skill many of us were never taught, nor taught to value. Yet in dampening our ability to feel, sense & perceive the textures, sensations & knowings of our inner world, many of us have (inadvertently) left our bodies. My journey back home to…

One would assume that yoga classes (where we do asanas, or postures) should be embodied. Given the deep spiritual roots of yoga from various Indian philosophies & teachers, you’d expect yoga to be something that bought you deeper into inhabiting and expressing yourself fully (my definition of embodiment). Except I frequently find myself in yoga cla…

The first time I read about Polyvagal Theory, so much made sense. The idea that “stress” isn’t just all adrenaline-running-around-drama, but can also also/often show up as frozen-shut-down-numbness really hit home. I feel so many of us have constant moderate-grade stress in our lives that just leaves us feeling… numb. Understanding Polyvagal Theory…

The single biggest hurdle to doing more embodied movement practice, for me personally, is the tight grip of urgency I often feel around time. Today on the podcast, I’m chatting with Rochelle Schieck, founder of the Qoya movement method. A big part of our conversation is exploring how we unwind the urgency of linear time & use the body as a portal t…

How can we be fully human? Seems like an obvious question, but when the demands (stress/trauma) of our culture & lived experience asks us to show up more like a machine than an organic being, it’s a valid one. Nahid de Belgeonne, the founder of The Human Method, believes “our modern times are relentless and our nervous system just isn’t built for t…

For the first few years of my personal development & embodiment journey I was focusing on everything I needed to fix. There was always some mindset, funky feeling, boundary, or upper limit that needed solving. After a while, I realized that, while the skills to meet these undesirable were essential, they were not the only embodiment skills I yearne…

I’ve sweated more this past month than I have in the past 5 years. After a looooong absence from the high-intensity-energy scene, I’m back in my high-rise activewear that Australians love so much (activewear is a legitimate 24/7 dress code where I live). It’s got me thinking a lot about my journey from a once-hard-core-hot-yoga-fan to a never-exerc…

Today on the podcast, we’re discussing somatic practices to help recognize and unhook from the embodied impacts of systemic oppression with Cultural Somatics Practitioner, Facilitator, and Author Kelsey Blackwell.

A few months ago my husband & I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary in Belgium. He knows my love language (luxury) so we luxed it up over a lavish long weekend. How I ended up dating (then marrying) this guy was/is one of the wildest, life-altering decisions of my life. As a woman now in a cross-cultural relationship, living between two countrie…

For leaders shifting away from the cultural norms of leadership obsess with “more” “bigger” and “eternal summer/growth”, who can we look to for guidance? How might we find our way to a more mature, sustainable, feminized way of leading? As an entrepreneur, I’ve grappled with these questions for years. Navigating ‘doing business differently’ in a la…

Dark night of the soul, mid-life crisis, Saturn returns. Different terms for describing the death/rebirth cycle we humans go through. Today on the podcast, we’re mapping the milestone along the path toward death & rebirth with Embodiment Coach Jess Staskiewicz.

In the shower last night I noticed a whole heap of new grey hair. My body reveling the inner maturing I feel has happened these past few years. Midlife is the phase around our 40s (I’m in my late 30s but already feel the phase of mature feminine midlife approaching - plus, my husband would tell you I’m an old soul). Midlife is an often un-celebrate…

If there’s one thing I wish my younger self knew, it’s this: Pleasure is a practice. I wish the younger me knew, you’re not intrinsically deficient in your lack of pleasure. I would whisper, ‘always having something to unravel & heal’ isn’t necessarily going to bring you more pleasure, so don’t go over the top down that path. Yes, it’s necessary to…

Is there an aspect of yourself you’re wanting to get to know more? Perhaps your inner wild woman or discerning decision maker? I’m a fan of trying on archetypes. Finding where we might explore more dimensions of ourselves. Using this suggestion as a map to play and develop dominant aspects of myself. But sometimes, putting on an external role can h…

If we exclude your birthday, when was the last time you celebrated you? When was the last time you threw a party, or bought a gift, for a non-birthday related milestone? Most of us celebrate the ‘big’ milestones-birthdays, marriages, anniversaries. Perhaps even we ceremonialize first bleed, matriescence or divorces. But generally speaking, the pers…

Have you ever felt a subtle sense of anxiety in the lead-up to a ‘performance’? Maybe in the hours, days, or weeks before you had to show up and coach, speak, facilitate or express yourself to the world. Performance anxiety, for practitioners, is common. I know this place myself. After coming back from a 6-month break in coaching after the birth of…

I had an epiphany last week, it was about my religion. Although I was raised Catholic, I never strongly resonated with the traditions or stories of this faith. Instead, I’ve been drawn to a faith that’s harder to name, that’s more aligned to nature and its pulsing creative aliveness. Last week, I realized & reconciled my faith is feminine. As I wri…

The first time I ‘figured out’ embodiment, it was a messy ride. I was in a relationship that was surface deep. I was in a job that was making me into a robot. I was on land & living in a town that I didn’t feel resonant with. I was feeling numb, exhausted, tired, and knew something BIG needed to change. I uprooted everything. Burnt it all down. And…

When I first studied ‘embodiment’ there was only 1 professional training I could find on the market (it was this one). Over the years ‘embodiment’ has become a popular concept & the number of training has blossomed. Those entering the space of professional embodiment training may feel overwhelmed by choice! So how can you figure out the difference …

“That time of the month” - We all know what this is code for right? We create separation when we speak in ‘code’ about our own body. Part of the shaming, silencing & taboo around periods is our participation in not naming them. In Claire’s household, she has changed her language (& over several years educated her partner to do the same). In her hou…

In a system that shapes our bodies as a means for production (that is, taxi for our brains & a machine to put to work to get things done) it’s a countercultural act to center the fullest expression of who you are as a human being in the way you live & work. That’s exactly what Toi takes a stand for & in this conversation we explore current cultures…
