How much capacity do you have to be honest about who you are today on your journey? Instead of covering up parts of yourself or polishing them to perfection or false prettiness — to move through your life honestly and to see others in their moment to moment existence, experience, and reactions as well?I’ve often struggled with sharing myself in an honest way. Sometimes that’s my feelings or opinions, and sometimes that’s just fear of certain parts of me being exposed.Listen in on how I feel called to be more directly and clearly myself and all the fears that come up with it. Do you have similar fears of being yourself and speaking your truth?Identity crisis and reinvention, self-honesty and being more fully self-expressed — this is what’s happening with me now — and in my sharing to the outer world and relationships.Also in this episode: how losing hair related to my grandfather’s loss of his parents to starvation, how it brought forward a greater sense of acceptance for my journey and who I am and my body, d

This episode is a rerun of a previous episode on The Embody Podcast while I am on a short restorative hiatus.When we are not in alignment with the true version of ourselves, we put ourselves at risk for disease.

“Everything Inside of You Has a Right to Be There” ~ Liz LaForceLiz transmits a purity in her energy that brings me so much ease! In this episode, she talks about how to close the gap between your knowing and the here and now, the process to experiencing yourself and the Process to Self, and playfulness.

She studied with a spiritual master, traveled the world, took classes and sessions on spiritual and personal growth for many years. But mostly learned by tuning into her inner guidance and

Reveal the corners and folds of your soul, what wants to be heard from inside, the wisdom and connection that brings you more fully into YOU. I feel awakened and more vibrantly in my body through a recent Proprioceptive Writing Retreat and I wanted to share this helpful tool with all of you.Proprioceptive Writing is a process of inner listening, observing and writing down what you hear, as well as asking one essential question with words that have more vibrancy to you. The words we use carry this knowledge: we are moving and emitting information constantly. The unconscious experience living in our bones and cells has a space to come forward, bringing a new dimension to shadow work, knowing yourself, and body awareness.With this process, you can reveal truths to yourself, excavate wisdom that is already living within you, and allow unconscious aspects to come forward into consciousness and healing.Also in this episode are updates about my travel in Mexico, the sounds — complete with some beautiful soundscapes

Get clear with your relationships! Cleanse, reset, end, restore, honor, thank, and give each relationship its place. When we speak truth about a relationship as it was or is, it has a chance to be at peace and unburdened by what’s unintegrated or unsaid. The relationship’s meaning can be known more fully, even if we only acknowledge it within our own imagination and body.This episode and the following experiential is for current relationships both pleasant and conflictual, past meaningful relationships of all kinds, and especially that person you just can’t get out of your mind or psyche.Cutting someone out of your life may not give you everything you need to integrate and move forward — how you relate to what they meant to you and all the unconscious associations that are underlaid within this complex system of experience and body memory that is our existence is what lives on — unless the truth is acknowledged.I also share a brief update about my travels to Mexico and a recent new tool that has been very pow

A poem by Mary Oliver, Wild Geese, a confession about pleasing others, a story about my Father, immigration and ancestry with the topic of “niceness”, a live self-forgiveness of myself for ways I judge myself, change your life any moment, and What would a horse do?I loved this line from Mary Oliver’s poem, Wild Geese: “You only need to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.” This touches deep into my heart and body. It reminds me how simple it can be on some levels — that what we love is what we love. To allow what it is that your body already loves to be.Shoutouts to Nick Werber, Charmayne Kilcup, Dr. Kristen Donigan. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

Ever wish you could sleep for days, weeks, or years even? That you’re so tired that you need a century to feel replenished? Or that the sadness or uncomfortable feeling you’re experiencing might last “forever?” Or that you need more time to do something that you love or would be satisfying or necessary to your well being?Using only a few mins you can feel that you have infinity — or all the time that you need when you feel that you need more. Play with this little trick using imagination and sensing to satisfy the body — to feel as if you had all the time you needed, even forever, or that time could go by so that your emotions would feel easier to navigate. #TimeTravel Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

As a gift, Nick Werber has offered one of his favorite audio meditations on the subject of consenting to people and the present moment as they are.

“The Akashic realm lives in a space of wanting us to update — so the mind can understand the experiences that transcend the mind.” ~ Susan LipshutzSusan reminds us of what’s beyond the mind’s programming, our innate wisdom, collaborating and interfacing with life as it is now, harvesting our calling, and reawakening the divine feminine.
