If you’ve felt the pull towards ‘embodiment’, but don’t really ‘get’ what it is…Or if you’ve tried to explain what it is to others, only for both of you to leave more confused than you arrived… Today’s podcast is for you!

Most women in the western world are using about 20% of their available body wisdom. This was the case for me & perhaps why I was drawn to embodiment. Today’s episode examines what embodiment is, what it’s not, and some signs & “symptoms” of dis-embodiment.

Resources mentioned in this episode:

• Daily embodiment movement practice - Primal Feminine Flow
• Embodiment for Women - The Embodied Woman
• Becoming a Certified Feminine Embodiment Coach
• Feminine Leadership for Entrepreneurs

As a creative, leader, entrepreneur, or in a position of leadership, it’s no easy feat to navigate & run a business. You might already have a wonderful skillset as a coach, practitioner or creative – but the skill set of an entrepreneur is an entirely new ball game.

In our own company & for those women around us, we see the old models of the masculine falling by the wayside as we make way for models of working that center feminine economics.

In this episode, Jenna shares with you some of those principles & how you too might weave this feminine formula that’s been incredibly successful for her.

#1 - The Direction of Your GrowthIn the masculine economy, the only growth that’s celebrated is linear growth.

When really, businesses have natural cycles. Honoring these cycles is the path of the feminine economy.

#2 - What Vision Do You Hold For Your Business? Jenna’s got this idea of what her company could be. It’s big, bold, and stretches her ability to conceive how we would actually get there. In a feminine economy, business is governed just as much by how you desire it to FEEL – as what you desire it to earn, reach or serve.

#3 - What is the Source of Your Business?Your business & work doesn’t want you to bleed or burn for it. It wants to nourish you, feed you & love you.

The promise of the feminine economy is very, very different. Try this on for instance… the more sincerely you show up in your genius & in ways that feel good, the greater your rewards.

#4 - Is Your Business Perpetuating Oppression?In a masculine economy which values capitalism above all else.

A feminine economy doesn’t rest on the oppression of anyone.

#5 - Intuition & LogicLogic is the process of making a linear decision based on facts. Intuition is the process of making a non-linear decision based on feelings.

We use both. Operating in fluid, feeling, feminine economies doesn’t mean we have to abolish all masculine traits in our business. If we do we’ll be just following our intuition all day long, confusing ourselves and never moving forward.

#6 - Competition or Collaboration?In a masculine economy everyone ‘else’ is competition.

In the feminine economy everyone ‘else’ is collaboration.

For a long time, Jenna prided herself on being a busy woman. Having so much to do. Being busy. Having lists upon lists of shit that needed doing... But didn’t really enjoy being busy

In fact, she's been on a mission to distance herself as far from that seductive state of “perpetually busy” as she can. Over the course of the past several months & years, she’s made a study of WHY we are all so busy and HOW we can very practically achieve more by doing less.

Hot tip – this episode is not about practical or strategic steps (well there are a few). Rather it examines the deeper root of doing less so that we can illuminate the true cause of our actions.

Jenna realised she’s more interested in success that’s not about having more or owning more, but instead...

uccess that’s about feeling more:

• Feeling more creative in her business.
• Feeling more connection & love in her family.
• Feeling more freedom in her lifestyle.
• Feeling more compassion & kindness for this planet & her people.

So what’s the point of YOUR life? How is it that you desire to feel?

It’s a deep & profound question that we believe we all should be asking ourselves regularly. Otherwise, we’ll end up subscribed to the default story that success is whatever comes as a result of hard work…

Day to day Jenna asks herself:

• What would my deepest desires have me DO as I get dressed today?
• What would my deepest desires have me DO as I sit down to work today?
• What would my deepest desires have me DO for my relationship today?

This is a small daily practice of getting to know your desires. First the little ones, then the bigger, bolder & wilder ones.

There is nothing wrong with hard work. Sometimes it’s exactly what’s needed. But modern women are being asked to embrace new paradigms of success. Paradigms that embrace feelings as success, ease as a possibility, and guilt as a shame that belongs in the past.

In this episode, Jenna is sharing her pregnancy ride thus far with lots of highs and lows along the way, and the greater sense of appreciation for other women who have gone before us with pregnancy, birth, and mothering. This is really meant to be a peek into Jenna’s personal experience of pregnancy for those who are curious.

NOTE: Naturally this kind of topic is full of opinions (god knows I’ve been subjected to a lot of people’s unsolicited advice & opinions) and if your pregnancy, birth or mothering journey has been challenging OR different to mine then this podcast could be triggering. Jenna offers it as her personal experience only. Know that she offers it with total love and respect for the situations and decisions you’ve faced as a woman.

Jenna believes it’s valuable for us, as women, to speak about things like pregnancy in a raw, real & embodied way, and this episode the experience of her conscious conception, first and second trimesters

Resources for this episode:

1. Jenna’s own embodiment practice has been KEY for shifting strong sensations & dropping into body wisdom. She attributes multiple years of practice BEFORE becoming pregnant that have helped so much in these several months. You can find out more about embodied movement practices here and our program for personal embodiment here.
2. Epic book from a holistic GP perspective. So damn empowering – Gentle Mothering, Gentle Birth
3. The first 40 days – Cannot wait to apply this wisdom of this beautiful book to the postpartum period.
4. Birthing from Within – one of our current students of the Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification is a Birthing from Within woman who’s adding our tools to her skill set (& what an amazing practitioner she continues to be).

Receiving someone’s judgment, whether it’s about the clothes you wear, the decisions you make, or the world views you hold, hurts.No matter how enlightened we are, judgment stings. It sucks. And perhaps that’s the point of judgment.  If you’re sensitive to judgment or in a position of receiving more-than-the-usual-dose of judgment this episode is for you.

Remember the last time you received a judgment. How did your body very first respond? What was the initial rise of emotion that you felt?

Any time our heart is touched by something tender we’ll generally DEFEND ourselves by getting all hot & bothered. Fire emotions and feelings are one of our hearts defense. Indignation, outrage, retaliation, heat might arise – and this is healthy!

It is healthy for your heart to defend itself. But that doesn’t mean we have to retaliate to our judgers from fire. Sometimes we should & it’s appropriate. Other times (most of the time) it’s reactionary & not the whole truth.

• Judgment is the penetrating inquiry that can tickle that deep, lingering fear that lives deep in our TENDER heart.
• If we are unwilling to embrace that TENDER challenge, we’ll stay stuck in the FIRE layer. Feeling outraged and the need to retaliate.

Yet if we are willing to enter into the TENDER fears of our heart, we’re free to find the TRUTH at the heart of this challenge. And this is where our truth lives. Embracing judgment is the only way to realize the TRUTH.

Curious to hear your thoughts on this approach to embracing judgment. Consider these questions:

1. Which judgment are you having trouble moving past?
2. What uncomfortable fear might you have to feel & consider if you move into the heart of this judgment?

In this episode, Jenna looks at the various ways to do creative projects. If you’re taking action as soon as inspiration strikes, but you’re creative projects aren’t necessarily flourishing or you’re running out of enthusiasm halfway through, this episode will help cultivate a more sustainable & sustainable way to do the creative projects in your life.

In the Feminine Coaching Model, we believe that DEPTH FIRST, DIRECTION SECOND is a key to success.

Meaning we need to collect all available resources (our depth) before launching into do-ing (and direction forward).

This requires us to examine the depth of our feelings & desires and any fears or doubts before we launch into doing.

We prioritize our feminine flourish and in doing so, gather the fuel to go the distance. It’s the feminine flair that needs to be prioritized first, in order for the project to be successful.

Here are some of the key FEMININE FLAIR questions Jenna sits with BEFORE moving into any masculine doing or practical steps: 1. How do I want this project to feel? 2. If I took some time to expand the possibilities beyond my usual expectations, how big can I dream? 3. Is this project ripe for me now or am I just distracting myself from something else? 4. What support do I require?

This episode explores a popular phrase in the self-development space these days: “I need to work on my mindset”.

Mindset work is aimed at changing these limiting thoughts & beliefs to something more positive & affirming. Most of the time it’s deluded thinking that’s setting you up for failure. If you’ve ever wondered why mindset work isn’t working for you. Or if you feel like it’s not really the whole truth, then this episode is for you.

The 3 big problems with modern self-development mindset work & what we can do instead.Problem #1: Like doesn’t cancel likeProblem #2: Thoughts are not actually the issueProblem #3: Control is not the answer

Instead, the way forward may be through...+ Less control – more vulnerability+ Less thinking – more feeling+ Less masculine – more feminine

It starts with this: Can you open your heart & deeply feel how this current dynamic & thought FEELS?

For those ready to go deeper into embodied thinking & those who desire deep, cellular reconfiguration of their mindsets, check out our 3-month program The Embodied Woman program.

In this episode, Jenna takes you through her own backstory of experiencing magnetism at play for the first time, a few simple ways to find out which you tend to lean towards - manifesting or magnetism.

Magnetism is the ability for us to draw our desires towards us with feminine ease. It’s similar to manifesting – very similar.

Except, there is 1 big difference that Jenna has noticed between “magnetic” women and “manifesting” women…

• Women who manifest tend to use their brain-power & will to draw their desires towards them. In this way manifests are generally more ‘mental’ individuals.
• On the other hand, magnetic women tend to use their feeling-power & pleasure of their body to draw their desires towards them. In this way magnetizers are generally more fluid, feeling individuals.

Here are 3 practical tips to turn your manifesting practice into a body-based magnetism experience:

1. A key of the recipe is sensuality
2. Acknowledge why it’s not there yet
3. Magnetism isn’t McDonald’s

Hopefully, these definitions & tips have helped you tap into a more magnetic manifesting process.

If you’d like the explicit step by step instructions to cultivate magnetism -- check out The Embodied Woman Program.

It’s the call you don’t want to receive… “there’s a problem with your test results”.

A little over 12months ago Jenna got a call from her GP letting her know her pap smear (cervical cancer screening) had come back with abnormalities.

Not cancer. But not the news you want to hear, it left her feeling a little shocked & scared. Yet logically also known many other women & friends had this happen too.

Most of all she was surprised, because she trusted her body deeply & felt a little sad, and confused that it would “let her down”.

When we consciously consent to a procedure, we are bringing our mind’s – YES to the party. But what does our body feel?

• Does our body give a YES?
• Is she ready to open?
• Do we even stop to consider this part of ourselves?

Like most women, Jenna felt vulnerable, and then she froze up.

Have you ever felt like this? Weirdly dissociated from yourself & who you usually are during a stressful or traumatic event?

The freeze response is a less-well-known acute stress response. Most people know fight and flight, but freeze is the silent third option our body defers to when running away (flight) or fighting our way free (fight) isn’t an option.

When we freeze, our body immobilizes & plays-dead. We shut down feeling, sensation and essentially self-anesthetize (numb out).

Once you are frozen, the only thing left to do is revert back to the most socially acceptable version of yourself. The polite-girl who doesn’t make anyone else uncomfortable. Who says the right thing & gets on with it.

When we freeze the life force energy & stress we experience in that acute moment is bound up to be dealt-with another (less threatening) day.

Embodiment is about feeling to free. Jenna had to feel this physical & emotional procedure (trauma) to free it.

There are specific tools & techniques to do this safely:

These form part of the “embodied skill set” we examine in modules 1 & 2 of the embodied woman program. If you’re interested in knowing when that happens, enter your details here.
