What I’m Willing To Pay For (& When a Library Card Will Do)
Want to know the secret to avoid adding (yet another) course to your ‘never quite finished’ shelf? We’ve all bought a training (or five) that didn’t deliver. Perhaps… You lost interest halfway through The star-studded lineup of teachers turned out to be an incohesive mess The pricing looked too good to be true (and it was) The mentors had no vibe & couldn’t hold a resonant space These experiences are a rite of passage. We’ve all been there, as we figure out how to discern the meaningful experiences from the mediocre ones. The difference between experiences that suck and experiences that stick is… the opportunity for embodied learning. Most training has zero embodied learning built into their experiences. For those who are strong self-starters & want to do all the implementation themselves, this could work. But for those of us who want to venture into the unknown, who want to soften & be held. For those of us who want to do things faster by accessing community & on-demand help. Then embodied learning spaces are where it’s at.

The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles
If you’re craving more depth in your own embodiment or in the spaces you hold with clients, vulnerability is non-negotiable. It’s the key that opens us up to real intimacy and true transformation. When someone shares vulnerably with me—whether it’s a client, colleague or my child—I know we’ve reached the gold. We’re no longer hovering on the surface. We’re in rich, honest territory. But vulnerability can be confronting. It asks us to feel the tenderness, shame, or discomfort that many of us were taught to avoid. And so, we’ve developed clever strategies—mostly unconscious—to sidestep that feeling. In this podcast, I’m sharing the 4 avoidance strategies we use to avoid vulnerability, and how naming your style is the first step to doing something different. We also explore: How important vulnerability is for deeper connection Why so many of us see vulnerability as a weakness (rather than the gift it is) Why recognizing your vulnerability avoidance style is crucial to flexing your vulnerability muscle as a human (& practitioner) The 4 Vulnerability Avoidance Styles Why creating safe spaces for vulnerability is vital for growth.

Why Feminine Embodiment is Essential in Times of Crisis We’re living in intense times—so how can we navigate them in embodied ways? Whether you’re navigating cyclones from climate change, destabilizing political regimens or something else closer to home, it’s beyond heart breaking. So what does this have to do with feminine embodiment? (hint, the answer’s everything). There has never been MORE of a need for feminine power on the planet. So how can we access it, and use it, in embodied ways? 💡 Hint: It all starts in the body. During the podcast, we’ll dive into: What power actually is & how it moves through the body Why personal empowerment is not enough on it’s own How to feel more resourced & stable in wild times, using somatic tools How to prevent feeling frozen or overwhelmed by the polycrisis’ that abound What these times ask of us as practitioners As a mother living with low grade anxiety about the state of the world my kids will inherit, this much is abundantly evident to me - if i don’t do something with my power, then it’s not real power. In the podcast we dive into what I’ve been doing about that.
