Embodiment mentor Amanda Biccum is someone who I’ve been following on Instagram for a while now. I love how connected she is to her body, her emotions and her sensuality. When I reached out to her to see if she’d want to come on the show to share her wisdom with women who’re dealing with (in)fertility, I found out she’d just suffered a pregnancy loss of her own. On this episode of the podcast, we discuss how to embrace the body when it feels like it’s failing you throughout your fertility journey, how to work with the body to process grief, anger, sadness or loss, and how to rekindle the intimate relationship between you and your partner.
Top quotes:
“Sometimes there’s so much noise and we’ve been so disconnected from our bodies and our wombs and our yonis for so long that it takes time to reconnect to that channel for us. But the more that you listen and the more that you tune in and the more that you give yourself space to feel what is actually wanting to come through, the louder the voice is going to be.”
“The way I like to view the human experience is that we are here to experience the full range of emotions. And though there are some that we would rather not experience, like grief or sadness or pain or loss or anger, when we avoid it, when we avoid feeling it, it’s just going to come back stronger, as a harder slap of spirit.”
“Embodiment is deeper listening. Your body is your best friend. It’s time we start treating her like that and really developing a beautiful relationship with her. And so many of us don’t or haven’t or don’t know where to begin.”
