I believe that spirituality should be one of the greatest wellsprings of pleasure and joy in our lives. In this episode, I’m sharing four things most people don’t understand about TRUE Purpose and Power and how our bodies know when there’s truth to something worth paying attention to.
I’m also sharing why I think it’s harmful for anyone to allow themselves to hate their body and how cultivating trust, respect, honor, and appreciation for our bodies creates natural energetic boundaries we could all benefit from. Where there’s systems and programming, it’s important to remember that we and our bodies are still sacred. I hope this episode will give you a few reasons to be kinder, gentler, and more loving toward your body as just one expression of your TRUE power and spark your curiosity for discovering more expressions, too.
In episode 432 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(1:27) The Wise and Wild Self meditation, a free resource for tuning into TRUE Purpose and Power
(4:16) How paddleboarding and being in nature taps into the body, purpose, and aliveness
(10:53) The importance of specificity and how words have their own power and magnetism
(14:13) The first teaching - Logical sense is not superior to intuitive sense
(14:45) The second teaching - We are all multifaceted beings with unique and built in gifts and genius
(15:26) The third teaching - Heal what you need to heal, so you can treat and experience every aspect of yourself as sacred
(17:05) The fourth teaching - Your body is a pathway, a portal and a temple, no matter the shape, size, "health" or ability
(22:55) Our body’s energetic boundaries of trust, respect, honor, and appreciation
(25:23) A chance to be mentored using the Wild Soul Liberation framework

In this episode, I’m sharing some updates and reflections from my social media logout and musing about what could be possible if more people took the time to carefully consider the impacts of so much social media. I’m also exploring the importance of experimenting and testing things out to find the best answers to life’s biggest questions. In a world where so many people are constantly telling us what and how to think, practicing thinking for ourselves and drawing informed conclusions is a really important practice.
In episode 431 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(4:24) How testing things out is the only way to find a conclusion that works for you

In this episode, I elaborate on ways that context and soulful prosperity overlap with each other. We need context for healthy, productive, and joyful interactions, and so much of that relates back to values. I find that when I open myself up to understand the complexity of situations, it’s easier to be who I’m meant to be. When we have context, we have peace, focus, and direction in our lives, and what’s more prosperous than that?
In episode 430 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(2:23) Why I’m really big on context
(6:04) Engaging with context for the sake of competence and connection
(11:13) What the Soulful Prosperity Framework is all about
(14:19) One of the biggest reasons why reasons people struggle to trust themselves and their intuition

(15:04) The difference between hypocrisy and paradox

Weeze Doran joins me on this episode to jam about our upcoming liberation program for men and the vision we have for it. We take a nuanced look at the patriarchy and how it harms everyone who lives within this social structure – cis hetero men included.
Weeze and I don’t subscribe to the white American feminist ideology and lay out the reasons why in this conversation. We’re aiming to shift out of this ‘toxic masculinity’ language and instead hold space for men to explore the dimensions of masculinity and the depths of their internalized misogyny.
Join us as we riff on the inspiration behind this program and what you can expect from the curriculum. We also have an info session on June 20th if you want to learn more about the content, who we are, or ask any questions. You can sign up for that here!
In episode 427 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(3:49) A passage from a bell hooks book called The Will to Change that deeply resonates with us.
(8:35) The biggest barriers for men experiencing love, intimacy, and connection

Something I’ve been diligent about as I approach 40 is taking stock of where I give people way too much access to me. One of the main places I see it happening is on social media. I’ve also been reflecting on how distractions have impacted my life, especially through the lens of my neurodivergence.
These two inquiries, coupled with conversations I’m having with people in my community and books I’ve been reading about ADHD, attention, and focus have led me to an experiment: I’m logging out of Instagram and Facebook for the summer, with big curiosity around whether this should eventually be a forever thing. Join me on this episode as I expand on what factored into this decision and what I’ve been noticing as I start to taper off from those platforms.
In episode 426 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(0:41) Announcements and updates about the show
(3:20) My journey with being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult
(7:30) The details of my social media experiment

While we can all always aim to be kind, loving, compassionate, really conscious and courageous communicators, sometimes our less evolved parts do come out. I recently made some relationship decisions, and they brought up a lot for me around emotional maturity and intelligence. In this episode, I’m unpacking the nuanced considerations and analysis that I’ve been going through around engaging with people and building intimacy and connection.
As always, I share my stories not because I believe my experience is universal and I handle everything perfectly, but because I know some of you will relate to parts, if not all, of these experiences and I hope that they are useful in your own reflection and development, too.
In episode 425 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(1:04) What the Wild Soul Sacred Body Membership is and who it’s for
(4:23) A decision I made last week that used up all of my bandwidth for emotional intelligence and maturity

Today we’ve got Asha Ramakrishna and Aycee Brown, co-authors of Your Soul Map: Liberation, Human Design, and the BIPOC Experience on the show chatting about Human Design and how this framework shows up for BIPOC folks.
In our conversation, Asha and Aycee get into how spiritual tools can help us gain a better understanding of human behavior instead of being used as a crutch to bypass responsibility. They highlight how Human Design is a story that we get to evolve and make peace with, while also recognizing the different experiences that Black and Brown people have when they engage in this modality. Asha and Aycee also elaborate on the parts that make up Human Design, including astrology, quantum mechanics, Hindu yogic philosophy, Chinese I Ching teachings, and Judaic Kabbalah.

Now that I’ve wrapped up my Sacred Slut Experiment, I want to fill you in on some details and unpack my experience of intentional non-monogamy. In this episode, I look back on how dating in my 20s and 30s has changed and what I want to take with me (and leave behind) during this next chapter of my life.
Ultimately, I’ve come to the conclusion that a partnership would be a nice-to-have if it’s going to add extraordinary value to my life, but otherwise, I’m gonna keep it moving. Join me as I reflect on the past nine months of this experiment and look ahead to what’s next.

I've been teaching people healthy and do-able ways to let things go for almost 10 years now. I say healthy and do-able because a lot of approaches are just too intense. As much as we might want to snap our fingers and let go of habits, behaviors, relationships, or things that happened in the past, the process of release is usually ongoing.
So many of us get wrapped up in the all-or-nothing mindset, but what if there was a way to evaluate what’s actually possible to let go of so that it doesn’t take up as much space in our lives? In this episode, I highlight how to determine when it’s time to move on completely, take a pause, or simply deprioritize things.
I hope the examples that I share illustrate ways that you can let go with more ease and compassion for whatever you have going on in your life.
In episode 421 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(2:55) Why I created the REAL Uplevel Interview Series
(5:15) The deeper nuances and complexities of letting go
(9:37) How I let people in my life know when our connection feels energetically complete for me
(11:30) Why endings don’t always have to be bitter or hurtful
(13:16) Letting go for a time without certainty if you’ll be back
(16:34) Practicing healthy and intentional decompartmentalization
(18:34) Honoring the the seasonal and cyclical nature of life

There’s a lot of fresh, new beginning energy swirling around as we step into the spring equinox. Coming out of this cocoon season has opened me up to receive intentions from my ancestors and divine support squad, and I’ve been really sitting with the messages they’ve been sending me lately.
The first is one is around the multiplicity of connection, intimacy, and creativity. Where can I find more joy in the rewards of being who I truly am, especially when there’s a hefty tax to living an alternative lifestyle? I’ve been thinking a lot about community, demonstrating ethics of care, and both knowing what’s enough and being okay with it rather than always striving for more.
The other intention that I’ve been playing around with is inviting next-level/renewed power and strength in my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. I’m experimenting with how I can set my life up to be as enjoyable and pain-free as possible, which requires me to reintegrate movement and nutrition in a new way.
I hope these intentions can illuminate something relevant, important, or relatable for you, too!
In episode 420 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(1:39) Reflecting on the spring equinox and Pisces season
(6:26) One of the biggest takeaways that I got out of the Real Uplevel series
(8:53) Discovering your contribution and doing what’s yours to do
(14:29) Receiving the intention for multiplicity of connection, intimacy, and creativity
(18:41) Taking an honest audit of my habits of consumption and accumulation
(21:37) Next level/renewed power and strength (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual)
(25:02) Insights from a recent cleanse that I did

Grief and sadness are important emotions to be honest about, pay attention to, and process as they come up. Today I’m sharing some things that make me sad and that I tend to be grieving on a pretty regular basis. As a person who embodies a lot of joy, passion, fire, and humor, I don't know if people realize that I grieve all the time. And I bet some of you can relate to this ー much of what makes me sad or has me grieve comes from systemic oppression and the myriad of delusions humans live under that cause us to do harm to ourselves and each other.
In this episode, I share two recent experiences that reminded me of how these systems can show up in our daily lives, sometimes in really sneaky ways that are hard to detect. When we start to peel back all the layers that we've acquired since coming into these bodies, we can remember that we are so much more than our parts.
In episode 419 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(1:21) Grieving over the systemic oppression that causes us to do harm to ourselves and each other
(2:46) How I reframe emotions like sadness, grief, and anger

(9:30) My eye-opening experience at a breast reduction consultation
(13:55) Honoring the unlearning, unpacking, and deconstructing of liberation work

In the Wild Soul Sacred Body Membership, I host monthly community Q&A calls to go deeper on themes of self love, healing, wholeness, and liberation. To give you an idea of what it’s like to be on those calls, I asked for questions on Instagram and pulled out the top three submissions:
How can I navigate injury, illness, chronic pain, or the changes in my body as I age?
How can I heal from my anxious attachment style?
How can I start feeling my feelings when I’ve avoided doing so for a long time?
As I work through these topics, I Iook back on a range of personal and professional experiences and offer up resources that my clients and students find to be useful. I also share what you can expect from the membership, including access to workshops and meditations that explore each of these questions in a richer, more nuanced way.

(5:06) My life as a relatively able-bodied person who has dealt with invisible injuries
(6:51) Why inclusivity around the topic of bodies and illnesses is so important to me

Quotes from this Week’s Episode of the Embodied Podcast:
Whether it's injury, illness, body pain, weight gain, weight loss, or various conditions and disorders, I look at all of it as invitations for deeper liberation, embodiment, acceptance, respect, and love for the self.
Acceptance is not approval. You can accept something and have immense compassion for it, and also want to change it.
As you get in your senses you can notice patterns.
Doing practices that don’t require you to mentally process feelings and emotions helps to resensitize you.
Terri Cole has these three questions, which are: Who does this remind me of? When have I felt this way before? And why does this feel familiar? Those three questions get to the root of what's going on.
I didn't deny myself a friggin’ thing because I gained weight. There are a lot of people who withhold and deny themselves things and experiences because they don't feel comfortable or confident in how they look. I refuse to do that.
I’ve been engaging in conversations around liberation in business for the REAL Uplevel Interview Series, and it’s been illuminating the consistent incongruences in the coaching, wellness, and healing industries.
There are very real consequences when people with any kind of authority in these spaces view vast and global topics through their own micro-experiences. In this episode, I break down what some of those outcomes are, including upholding systems of supremacy and oppression and engaging in manipulative sales tactics.
Join me as I break down my creation process for this series and share what topics we’ll be exploring with my guest speakers.

Since recording episode 399 where I introduced my ‘Sacred Slut Summer’ experiment, I’ve discovered that I'm loving the intimacy, connection, and companionship that's available in the solo polyamorous lifestyle.
From my early 20s to early 30s, I was essentially a serial monogamist. After taking about a year and a half to deeply reconnect with myself and heal after my last long-term partnership, I realized that I love dating, but not necessarily with the intention of merging my life with someone else’s.
In this episode, I describe how nourishing it’s been to create what I call a “constellation of companions” and highlight what I’m currently navigating. Whether you're interested in this lifestyle or not, I hope you hear something that resonates or sparks curiosity about where you can invite more joy into your life.
In episode 415 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:

Continuing with the theme of liberatory practices, one of the most potent places to free yourself is within your relationships. When it comes to the people in your personal, familial, romantic, and professional circles, it’s important to check in with how they’re either nourishing or depleting you.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve determined which relationships are worth it for me and which ones aren't at the moment. I also touch on strategies that have been helpful for maintaining and/or deepening the connections I want to keep in my life, and explore some thoughts on letting go of ones that no longer serve me.

As someone who used to bottle up all of their fiery feelings and struggle with emotional intelligence, I’ve experienced first-hand how verbally processing things is an extremely liberatory practice. It helps to create better, more satisfying experiences and prevents us from having to deal with things that are actually avoidable.
In this episode, I share a few stories to illuminate how, why, and where it's important to use your words to free yourself. I look at examples across a range of contexts, including dating, business, family, and community.

One of the most liberating elements of my life has been working through the fears that have been conditioned into me about needing to look a certain way in order to be desired, loved, and worthy.

To welcome in the new year, I’m covering some liberatory practices that you can incorporate into your routine life for a more expansive year. There are three words and a phrase that I’m using to guide my intentions and decisions in 2023 - unapologetic, unbothered, soft, and #ScrubFree. In this episode, I unpack what all of that means to me and how I plan on channeling that energy in all areas of my life.
As always, you’re invited to take what resonates for you and ditch anything that doesn’t!
In episode 411 of the Embodied Podcast, we discuss:
(2:00) The interconnected nature of expansion and acceptance
(3:47) How do we know if the work that we're doing on ourselves is really contributing to collective healing and liberation?
(6:58) Why I love the saying, “May this be for the benefit of all beings”
(12:58) Tapping into the expanded expression and embodiment of being unapologetic
(13:36) The different layers of unbothered and how it differs from triggerable
(16:58) Recognizing where I want to soften my edges and let go of things that aren’t mine to hold
(21:36) Applying a #ScrubFree policy to every area of my life
(24:32) Developing genuine self-awareness, especially around how you label yourself
(27:28) What to expect from the next couple of episodes

To close out this season of the Embodied Podcast, I’m coming to you solo and exploring the power of feeling and dealing with your emotions. I like to think of it as going out on an emotional LIM: literacy, intelligence, and maturity. It’s so important to go back to the fundamentals and dig into what processing your feelings actually means.
If you’re engaged with life in a growth-oriented way, this work is invaluable and timeless. Regardless of how enlightened or energetically-aligned you are, life has a way of throwing new challenges and tests at you everyday.
Join us back here on January 16th for a new season where we’ll be diving into more healing, joy, and liberation.

Today I’m joined by Josie Pickens, organizer, educator, journalist, and culture critic, to discuss how to be a better lover to yourself, others, and explore intimacy in a more expansive way. Josie unpacks the message behind her essay “Party of One” that was featured in Sex and the Single Woman, and she describes her journey to being in a primary relationship with herself.
We also dive into the juicy healing work that Josie has been doing and the ripple effect that it’s had on her life. We touch on our experiences with non-monogamy and polyamory, and celebrate how younger generations are reimagining what’s possible when it comes to love, dating, and relationships.
Don’t miss this conversation with Josie where we dig into how to be more loving people in a world that tries so hard to get us to not be.
