I wanted to do something special for International Women's Day, and I can think of nothing better than starting our conversation about being embodied witches, my lovelies. However you move, from breath to adventure, I honor you on this day, and every damn one. As women, we are often told from the moment we are born (and sometimes even before) that we need to force our bodies into tiny little forms of what's acceptable. To not take up space. To diet, to dye our hair, to dress a certain way, to hide our beautiful flaws, etc. etc. etc. So much bull*. It stops NOW. Move your beautiful body however you are able.

In this "moving" conversation, I'm joined by Neesheta Patram-Arenson, Covina Movement Instructor, and the fabulous hosts of JenOsha and Lauren from The Witches Workin/out podcast. We touch upon so many aspects of being an embodied witch, from grief in the body to the deeper aspects of exercise.

There's a short meditation for returning to the body. too. Neesheta highlights the power of movement in healing, while Witches Working Out encourages listeners to use witchy practices while in the gym or engaging in physical activity. Trigeminal neuralgia is discussed along with taking up space with an imperfect body, self-care, grief and loss and breaking up with perfectionism. Finally, the importance of trusting our intuition and body while finding enjoyable forms of physical activity is emphasized, encouraging listeners to embrace the Temple of Good Enough. Don't forget to do your Squats For Hekate.
