Body initiations. Rites of passages. Women's bodies.

Let me tell you a story.

This is a story that is still very tender in my heart that happened just 2 weeks ago as I went through a MAJOR body initiation that I was really not anticipating (I guess we never can, right? lol... seems to be part of the deal to be unprepared for it!).

And this story is simply one of the many ways this story has been told and will keep being told in your own life, as a woman living in a woman's body.

The kind of body initiations which come with some much questioning, where you make your body wrong, where you feel like you can't trust your body, where you feel like things should NOT be happening the way they are, where you want to CONTROL whatever is happening... that's the kind of body initiations I'm talking about.

Enjoy the listen and let me know how your last body initiations showed up for you!

Join us for this beautiful conversation with Makenzie McPherson, the Founder of KAKAO Ceremonial Drinking Chocolate, which was one of the first to bring true ceremonial-grade cacao to the western world over 6 years ago.

In the last 6 years, Makenzie alongside her husband Michael have facilitated hundreds of cacao ceremonies in person and online, and led thousands of people across the globe to connect more deeply to their heart, to their soul’s purpose, to the Earth and to others through the use of the sacred plant medicine, cacao.

Makenzie is the author of How To Lead A Badass Business From Your Heart. She has been featured on dozens of podcasts, including the Lori Harder Podcast, Sacred Sons Podcast, Dayluna Podcast, Adam Roa Podcast and more. Last but not least, Makenzie and her venture Delighted By Hummus has been featured on ABC’s Shark Tank, LIVE With Kelly, and hundreds of media outlets including Cosmopolitan, Women’s Health, Food&Wine, New York Times, Washington Post and more.

In this heart-centered conversation, Makenzie shares her story finding cacao and Kakao with a K, her opinion on the true meaning of the word embodiment, what she sees as the biggest mistakes women make with their health, weight, and nutrition, the amazing lens that German New Medicine (GNM) or Germanishche Heilkunde offers for our symptoms, and...

... last but not least, what Makenzie would do if she could change ONE THING in the world with a magic wand, along with an EXCLUSIVE announcement about an exciting new project she's planning on birthing into the world very soon!

Enjoy the listen!

Here we are, finally! Number 100 felt like a lot of pressure until I realized that just like any number, it really doesn't mean anything!

And today, I really wanted to speak to women familiar with binge eating. You know, this feeling of loss of control, of hiding to eat, of eating a lot as fast as possible...

... well this is for you if you've been binge eating for at least 3 months and have already tried to either control / plan your food OR giving yourself full permission in an attempt to break free of it, without the desired results...

In this episode, I share a bit more about my own journey, the top 2 mistakes women dealing with binge eating make, and how to find your way OUT! (Hint: it is about embodied eating and coming back to your body!)

Enjoy the listen,

If you ever have or currently fear a specific food, food group, food component (i.e. gluten) or macro (i.e. carbs or fat), this episode is for you.

As I tell you the story of my fear of fat for many years which then transitioned into a fear of carbs, I tell you all about the EXACT 3 LESSONS that helped me not only overcome these fears but also find a way of eating that allows me to feel my healthiest, most energetic, sexiest and most radiant Self! 

You may not even think about these as fears per se, but it could be for anything in food that you avoid OR believe to be the root of all evil when it comes to diseases + weight.

Enjoy the listen and be ready to feel differently about food by the end of this episode! With love,

I just turned 40!

Since being in my mid-30s, that number felt like a big deal and I have definitely felt scared of how my body will age, both in terms of what I look like and my health.

In this episode, I share what the 2 worst things that can ever happen to women are (according to society and then according to me) and help you shift old stories you have about aging so that you can start writing a new story about aging centered around vitality, radiance, and wisdom!

If you're someone who has fear about aging (or tries to avoid thinking about it and pretend it's not happening), then I'm so excited for you to experience a major shift by the end of this listen!

Enjoy!

In this very special episode, I ask my partner 4 questions to uncover THE secret to an embodied relationship. 

What is an embodied relationship?

I invite you to lean into this and create your own definition AND I'll share what it means to me. 

To me, an embodied, loving relationship with my life partner is all about not being in my mind all the time and really constantly practicing bringing all of the knowledge about love, healing, inner child, speaking our needs, communication, trust, vulnerability, and so much more... into the day-to-day. It's also about practicing being IN my body so I can be aware of the different sensations giving me clues as to whatever is working well or whatever could be improved in our relationship.

I really believe you're going to LOVE this one and you will receive exactly what you're meant to receive to feel even more love, whether you're in a relationship right now or not. 

I highly encourage you to listen to this conversation with your partner to spark discussions together (or to imagine yourself listening to it with one if you're still calling him/her in!).d

Connect with us to share any feedback and insights you've received to brighten our day!

Enjoy the listen!

With love,

Aglaee

p.s.2. connect with me on Instagram @aglaeejacob and check out the details of the Embodied Eating Mentorship here.

I started getting obsessed with desserts and sweets at a very young age and was typing my own cookbook with only dessert recipe on my parents' 386 computer back in the 90s.... lol

From there, feeling rejected by friends because of my appearance led me on this journey of trying to lose weight to fix myself and hopefully get the friendship and love I was craving... 

... and the restrictions then led to emotional eating, stress eating, and binge eating and me feeling like completely addicted to sugar.

Chocolate was always my go-to and now I realize that it was the Spirit of Mama Cacao calling me all along... if you feel this pull towards chocolate, it may be the same for you, too!

See what happened for me on my journey to finding kakao and freeing myself from sugar addiction so you can do the same too!

Enjoy the listen!

With so much love,
