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.
In episode 417 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:

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.

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:
(1:55) Recapping my ‘Sacred Slut Summer’ experiment
(4:30) Getting back into dating in 2018
(7:51) Defense mechanisms that I’m noticing on social media and IRL
(16:13) Realizing what I actually enjoy about relationships: sex, affection, intimacy, companionship, being able to do fun things, and also having different energy in my life
(23:13) What no one tells women in their 30s and 40s about pleasure and intimacy
(24:54) What I'm loving about this lifestyle
(29:26) The biggest thing that I'm still navigating
(33:23) Staying open and available for what’s out there

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.
In episode 414 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(1:58) Details about my upcoming workshop, The Relationship Inventory
(4:16) Unpacking some internet rhetoric around ghosting
(8:19) My practice for sending love to someone when I feel like I’m spending a lot of emotional energy on them
(11:46) How accepting people for who they are has softened my heart and my hard edges
(13:55) Dealing with situations where you just don't like or vibe with someone that other people that you like and respect do
(16:15) Getting clear on your negotiables and non-negotiables in a relationship
(17:50) The groups of people that I’m no longer giving time and energy to the way that I used to, and why
