Empowered Embodiment

Clairandean aka Clair aka Clairbear shares a 9-card tarot reading for July Vibe insights. We're still in a global pandemic. People around the world are demanding for systemic change. It's Cancer Season and Mercury is retrograding. BIG FEELS. Clair shares tips on how to feel your feelings, gives permission to be in the full spectrum of feelings, and reminds us that emotional processing is hard work deserving of rest. Find more about Clair here and listen to their music here.

This episode is my very first live interview for this podcast and I'm joined by Dianne Bondy. Dianne Bondy is a social justice activist, author, accessible yoga teacher, and the leader of the Yoga For All movement. She has been loud about the intersection between wellness and social justice since 2011, becoming an "accidental activist" by inspiring many folks to find strength and resilience in their body regardless of size, skin colour, gender identity, ability, religion or any other marker that might be under represented in the wellness world. We talk about what inspired Dianne's work, the parallels between creating inclusive environments in yoga spaces and in the world at large, the difference between bigotry and racism and how we are all charged to amplify empathy.

This is a short pep-talk to help get your head in the game. YOU are a leader. Whether your believe it or acknowledge it.

I share some arguments to help convince you that you are in fact a leader and some tips that can help you step more fully into your agency. Some of the concepts are rooted in my time studying with Dana Regan of Somatic Soul Coach School (www.somaticsoulcoachschool.com/).

These are teachings that I share in my Sharing Privilege Course (www.royola.ca/about-spo), the GOODBODYFEEL Teacher Training (www.goodbodyfeel.com/tt-overview) and the soon-to-be-online Empowered Embodiment Course which will guide you through different practices to ally your ego, resource your body and anchor your ambition in cultivating a culture of compassion.

Step into it folks. You are so worthy and valuable. All hands on deck.

Welcome to the Empowered Embodiment Podcast!

I am your host, Robin Lacambra, and in this podcast we explore ALL. THE. FEELS. In their full spectrum. We unpack different forms of self-care or self-keeping and the necessary role they play in community care. Movements, both physical and social. Creativity. Advocacy. Belief Systems. Ambition. These things can give us permission to feel and need what we feel and need. These things all intersect to show us how we can enact our intrinsic leadership and share our privilege, creating cultures of compassion where more folks feel like they truly belong.

There are so many pathways to feeling empowered. Hopefully, in listening to these conversations with artists, activists, wellness professionals, business owners and leaders of different sorts, you'll find your ways of anchoring into your body, leaning into your gifts and enacting your unique agency.

So thank you for tuning in. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for being down to do the work. Let’s do this.
