This is episode four of a six week podcast series I do every year called Journey into the Wild Soul. It’s FILLED with gems to explore your inner world to help you have a better outer world experience. (And that is putting it very, very mildly.)
I’ve also opened up a free pop-up Facebook group to get some quality time together as a Wild Soul community before 2020 starts and we get all “hyped up” about a new year. I hope you’ll join me and bring your friends!

The Journey into the Wild Soul is about reflecting on the year and perhaps years previous, so that we can leave the past in the past as we transition into a new year. As well as to invite you to consider if how you’ve been going about your growth, healing and transformation is really effective or if it’s more performative, obligatory, inefficient, ineffective, or just a distraction.
Our theme this year is WHOLENESS and in this second episode, I’m diving into all things embodiment from concepts to practices to the benefits, why it works, how to develop discernment and speak your body’s unique language of the senses and more.
If you didn’t hear the first three episodes, that’s ok, you don’t have to go back and listen to it before diving into this one unless you want to. Here are the links if you do:
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the first two topics in the Arc of POWER which is the curriculum in my yearlong women’s circle POWER. The topics are Surrender + Release and Trust + Receiving. These two topics help people learn how to work with life in a way that doesn’t require so much forcing, pushing, overdoing or exhausting of the will.
They show people how to create space for what they want, trust themselves, ask for the support they need and be open and willing to receive it. Those things might sound simple, but every year I help hundreds of women who struggle with one or all of those things and the outcome is incredible.
Enjoy the episode and remember to check out POWER 2020 to see if it’s for you!
