EMPOWERED CONNECTION

Jennifer Minor is a licensed professional counselor who helps courageous humans create safer inner worlds, so they can build safer external worlds. With an emphasis on holistic wellness, healthy sexuality, and cultivating curiosity and compassion, Jennifer doesn’t view herself as just your average “professional listener.” She is a personal co-pilot, life cheerleader, compassionate confidant, parts warrior, and the occasional “tea sipper.” With a knack for untangling life's inner webs, she helps folks navigate the intricate peaks and valleys of their emotional landscape with grace, humor, and a sprinkle of psychology. She guides her therapeutic work with sensitivity and a mixture of strategy, creativity, and the right amount of whimsy. When not decoding the mysteries of the mind, body, spirit connection, you can find her throwing 1-2 punches at her local boxing gym, or simply relishing in the fact that she’s “off-duty” for the moment and engaging in a restful, mindLESS activity.

In this inspiring conversation, Jennifer and host Daniel Damodar Cordua talk about:
- Witnessing the inner world and inner growth of people that we don’t usually see
- Holding space for all the parts of ourself and noticing which need to come forward or be updated
- Intellectually bypassing our healing with self growth ideas
- Coaching & therapy as containers that reveal our inner awareness
- Generation Z’s use of technology, social media, and self diagnosis
- The deep vulnerability & empowerment of being fully present with another human being
- What is healthy sexuality?
- Normalizing communication around sex
- How “practicing ease” can bring more empowerment into our lives
and much more!

EMPOWERED CONNECTION 

Themes: Relationships, Conflict, Defensiveness, Partnership, Conscious Communication, Self Regulation, How to Love

In this shorter, solo podcast episode Empowered Connection Podcast host Daniel Damodar Cordua breaks down and helps heal "defensiveness" within our relationships. 

Although an understandable pattern of protection, too much unconscious defensiveness in our relationships - especially partnership - can wear down the foundation of our connection and create negative cycles of conflict and rupture.  Some relationship experts call defensiveness one of the death knells of partnership.

Listen in to today's episode and learn:
- What is defensiveness exactly and why do we engage in it?
- The unhealthy cycles that defensiveness creates within our most important relationships
- Signposts that will help us figure out when we are becoming too defensive
- Ways to deal, heal, and move through our defensiveness during relationship dynamics that will lead to more connection - to other and self - and less conflict, stress, and rupture.
this, and much more...
