The Marie Embodied Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Eileen March to explore her journey from midwife to energy healer, coach, and, eventually, witch. Together, we dive into the reclamation of the word witch, the power of intuition, and how working with the cycles of nature can help us remember who we truly are.

This conversation is a permission slip to embrace your innate wisdom, reclaim your magic, and embody your light.

I'm often surprised by how rarely I hear therapist discuss the foundational role that fitness, nutrition, and daily habits play in our overall well-being. These practices are essential to embodied living, which is why I'm so excited to share this week's guest with you.

In this episode, I'm joined by fitness coach and nutritionist Kim Shambaugh for a conversation that goes beyond calories, workouts, and meal plans. We explore how true health is built by reconnecting with your body, understanding its cues, and creating habits that support both your physical and emotional well-being.

We explore the connection between nutrition, movement, mindset, and nervous system health. Kim shares practical insights on recognizing hunger and fullness cues, intentionally fueling your body, building a sustainable relationship with exercise, and letting go of rigid thinking.

Trigger Warning: Please be aware that we discuss eating disorders, dieting, and body dysmorphia throughout this episode.

Listen to my episode about how I lost 30lbs.

For most of my life I've felt at odds with my body, wanting to escape it while also craving deeper embodiment.

Somatic therapy taught me to relate to my emotional body in a healthy way, but it was my weight loss journey that helped me to establish a healier relationship to my physical body. About 1.5 years ago I lost 30 lbs. This process was gritty and hard. It asked me to show up day after day, and face so many pain points that I'd been ignoring. Ultimately it served as one of my most profound lessons in devotion, self-trust, and self-love.

This episode is a vulnerable share about how religious and societal programming formed early distortions around how I perceive myself through my body, and how I've begun to heal those wounds. 

Trigger Warning: Please be aware that I discuss weight loss, dieting, and body dysmorphia throughout this episode.

In today's conversation I sit down with Teagan West, who guides individuals into deeper belonging through ancestral healing and nature-based practices.

We explore the sacred relationship between body and land, and the longing for homecoming in a disconnected world. Tegan shares her journey, the practices that have shaped her work, and ancestral healing can help us reconnect with ourselves, our lineages, and the living world around us.

In a cultural hyper-fixated on the individual, this episode is an invitation to remember that healing is relational.

This is a conversation I've been wanting to have for a while. It's tender and deep, and touches on something that society has heavily censored and distorted - sexuality, erotism, pleasure, and desire.

In this episode I sit down to share about my own path toward sexual liberation, and how somatic work has led me down a path of expansion and liberation beyond what I ever thought was possible. I explore everything from shame and trauma, to BDSM, erotic blueprints, and somatic work for sexual embodiment.

I hope this conversation sparks something untame and alive within you. May we all be free.

In this episode, I explore why so many people get lost in fantasy and struggle to materialize their desires. I share personal stories, insights, and lessons from my own journey of bridging the gap between inner vision and outer action.

I also discuss the importance of consistency, follow-through, and the often-unseen process of inner work that supports lasting transformation.

If you've ever felt caught between dreaming about the life you want and actually living it, this conversation will help you understand how to integrate your inner world with meaningful action and create a life that feels deeply aligned.

Success can feel scary for so many reasons: fear of failure, fear of being seen, and sometimes even fear of who we might become.

In this episode, I explore the deep-rooted fears, social expectations, and inner resistance that can keep us from fully stepping into our power. Through vulnerability, insight, and practical guidance, I invite listeners to embrace authenticity, expand beyond limiting beliefs, and create a life that truly lights them up.
