Embodied Love Podcast

In today's conversation Amberlee and I explore how our childhood experiences and relationships with our original caregivers can impact our current relationships and ways of relating.

There is often deeply ingrained conditioning that many of us hold around what it means to be a man, a woman, a mother, and other labels we put on ourselves or others put on us.

Often we see the man as the savior, the breadwinner or provider, the handyman, and there are roles and responsibilities that are put on the man. There's often the saying that goes "Be a man" or "Man up" which puts men into a box and suppresses different parts of them, and can also be incredibly emasculating, causing them to feel less than or not good enough if they don't meet the expectations of what it means to be a man.

For women, often there is the conditioning around being the homemaker, people pleasing, self-sacrificing, over-giving, putting everyone else first, her needs come last or not at all, she's only to speak when spoken to, be the good girl, the nice girl, stay inside the lines. There are also roles and responsibilities, like cooking and cleaning, meeting the man's sexual needs.

And this all comes not only from what was mirrored to us in childhood from our caregivers, but society as well.

We can become incredibly lost and confused and wonder who am I. It significantly impacts our relationships and you may find yourself unhappy or unsatisfied in your relationship, or a lot of conflict arising.

In this conversation we explore all of this and so much more with the intention to support you in creating new ways of relating, connecting and being in harmony in your relationship. Discovering what works for you, what kind of relationship you desire and how to create that. How to get your needs met and not necessarily by your partner but by you.

A truly powerful conversation, inspired by our own personal journeys.

 

We would LOVE to hear your feedback, what resonates, and any questions you have or areas you would like us to delve deeper into. We will also be opening the conversation inside The Woman Ascending Facebook Group to explore this conversation more deeply.

 

Ready to delve deeper into this conversation, strengthen your self-confidence, expand your ability to express yourself, meet your own needs, set boundaries and honor your YES and your NO???

To LIBERATE your expression, shift your self-talk, and consciously create the life and relationships you desire...

Join Amberlee and me in our upcoming LIVE program, The Confidence To Express Yourself, the journey begins this Saturday.

"Human Design is your unique energetic blueprint.

Consider it like the user manual for your soul. Human Design gives us a permission slip to be completely ourselves, trust in our way and deeply understand what we’re here for. It illuminates our strengths, gifts, wisdom and purpose. It shows us how we are here to move through the world and what we came to contribute. And in a world that is constantly trying to tell us how to be - it allows you to be fully seen, understood and feel empowered in your uniqueness." - Kirsten Morrison

 

I discovered Human Design in 2020 and it absolutely blew my mind but I felt resistance to delve deeper and it was soon put on the back burner. I rediscovered Human Design later in the year where I began delving a little deeper and following different people like Kirsten to learn more. But it was last year that Human Design really leaped out at me and I knew I had to jump in.

Human Design for me is one of the BIGGEST permission slip to be yourself and come back to self-honouring and living in alignment. It is the manual for living authentically, unapologetically and in alignment with who you truly are.

When you live in alignment it is of the greatest service to yourself and all of those around you as well, you become the walking permission slip for others to also live in alignment and together we rise and thrive, cheering each other on along the way.

In today's episode, I am joined by Human Design Mentor, Kirsten Morrison, who shares with us an overview of what Human Design is, the 5 energy types and we also delve into the emotional authority and how to ride the waves of our emotions.

A potent conversation that I am so excited to share with you.

Since the end of last year I began including a Human Design Reading with all of my 1:1 Coaching Packages as I believe this is essential to living in alignment and thriving in all areas of life which is what I am here to support you with. Learn more about working together here

The intention of this mini-series is to shift self-talk and feel confident and empowered to be our authentic selves, to liberate the voice and experience the power of your voice

 

Part 1: where focus goes energy flows. The impact of self-criticism, and the power of your voice/self-talk.

you are creating your reality every moment, the way you speak, what you say out loud and silently in your mind

if you are criticising yourself and putting yourself down you are creating more of that experience, you will see more and more evidence to validate these beliefs about yourself

you may experience anxiety around others thinking/saying these things about you

You may experience waves of depression, numbing out, disassociating and distracting yourself, just getting through life

You are missing out on the beauty and magic of this life experience

To create the life and relationships you deeply desire, to experience abundance, love, joy, connection, fulfillment, excitement, and all the goodness, you gotta go within and address what’s holding you back, what's keeping you in patterns of negative self-talk and disconnection but you must also expand your capacity to be in the goodness.

In order to live the life we desire we must become aware of how we are speaking to ourselves and others and where this stems from…

 

But don’t just bypass through positive self-talk/affirmations, do the inner work required to integrate the parts of you that believe the criticism otherwise you’re just sweeping stuff under the rug and your life won’t change in the way you desire.

 

Another piece to the puzzle is expanding your capacity to be in the goodness, if negativity and criticism is your familiar, jumping to positivity and self-love will feel like a leap and you’ll find yourself reverting back to old ways leading to feelings of defeat and disappointment…

 

it’s about pendulating and meeting and honouring what is present without buying into it as being the absolute truth.

"Life is about the journey, not the destination"

We can often get so caught up in what we don't have, where we aren't, what we have NOT achieved, and what's lacking in ourselves and our lives that we completely miss the beauty, abundance, and magic that's all around us, all of the time.

In this potent conversation with @iamdashabarsukova we go deeeep into understanding what is keeping people stuck in scarcity and blocking them from experiencing the abundance that is available to all of us right here, right now.

Awareness is the gateway to your transformation and by bringing awareness to what you're experiencing and what is creating that experience you have the opportunity to reclaim your power, to shift your experience, and consciously create more of what you want.

But it's not just about getting what you want, it's not about trying to control life or force things to happen in a certain way. For me, it's about bringing more joy, playfulness, and compassion into your human experience.

It's about embracing it all, loving it all, loving the journey, and how it all divinely unfolds... You may not get what you want when you want it, but you WILL get what you need.

Challenges help us grow and evolve and access more than we even knew was possible. Life will not stop throwing you new challenges and initiations but you CAN learn to thrive and remain anchored into abundance every step of the way.

Here's to having the most MAGICAL, wild, juicy, messy, and joyful human experience. Here's to having it ALL. The Universe always has your back, you are ALWAYS taken care of, all ways.

We would LOVE to hear your feedback and any questions you have, email me at [email protected] or DM me on FB/IG

In 2019 I attended the BBTRS Breathwork Facilitator Training, where I met Matthew Bruce, we partnered together for our first and last session of the training and it was a truly profound and deeply healing experience.

This training took me on a journey of healing from a traumatic sexual experience, finding my NO, and liberating my voice. In today's episode, I am joined by Matthew and we speak more about the experience we shared together and how it has led to what we share with the world today.

We also explore how trauma, conditioning, and childhood patterning impact our lives, relationships, sexuality, intimacy, and ability to bond and connect.

Through breathwork, somatic healing, and self-sourcing intimacy we can liberate ourselves from our past and repattern our nervous systems, brain, and DNA so that we can align to the life and relationships we deeply desire so that we can experience deep love, connection, and intimacy.

It was such an honor and pleasure to reconnect with Matthew for this powerful conversation that will support you to come into deeper connection and intimacy with yourself that will impact your relationships with others in beautiful and magical ways.

Today I am joined by Phoebe Hart for a powerful conversation on the importance of rest and the different types of rest.

The 7 types of rest, researched and defined by Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, physician, researcher, and author, are physical, mental, sensory, creative, emotional, social, and spiritual. Pheobe also mentions an 8th type that she discovered which is sexual rest.

We explore the different types of rest more deeply in this episode, why it's important, and how to tune into your body to become aware of what type of rest you need and how to meet that need so that you can have more balance, peace, and ease in your nervous system and your life.

There is so much conditioning that keeps us busy, overwhelmed, stressed, and burnt out. So many people are constantly trying to tackle a never-ending to-do list, chasing their tails and stressing out leading to further pain, suffering, and illness.

By learning how to slow down, tune into your body, and make rest a priority you will be able to cultivate more balance, ease, and harmony in your life, allowing you to enjoy your life more and thrive in all areas of your life and relationships.

I'd love to hear your feedback, reflections, and any questions you have, email me at [email protected]

With more than a decade of embodied experience in dance, movement and and yogic practices, my services are deeply rooted in the art of self-discovery through the intricate connection between mind and body.

Ignite your fire with this incredible episode on cultivating a self-pleasure practice that will support you to feel more confident, worthy, and empowered and ignite your passion and aliveness within yourself and your life.

Today I am joined by Female Sexuality & Manifestation Coach, Jannine MacKinnon for a deep conversation about the incredible impacts of cultivating a self-pleasure practice.

Self-pleasure isn't just about sexual pleasure or another way to say masturbation... It's so much more than that. 

Self-pleasure is about connecting to yourself in a deeply loving way, to meet yourself and what you're feeling in the present moment, to honor yourself and what is alive inside of you.

When you prioritize yourself, your needs, and your pleasure you open yourself up to a whole new world. It impacts all areas of your life in the most beautiful way.

Jannine and I speak more about how self-pleasure will beautifully and powerfully TRANSFORM your entire life and I can't wait to share all the goodness with you in this episode.
