The Goddess Movement38. Begin as you mean to continue“Not just when you are on stage. Record yourself when you are in your group rehersals and see what you show up like. Because if you are not showing up with big energy in your class rehersals, you are going to diminish your opportunity to show up big when you are on stage. But do both! Record both! And see what happens. Look at it again through the lens of your best friend who wants to give more energy. And then be very honest with yourself. Go, where are the places where I could show up bigger? And is th...2025-02-1946 min

The Goddess Movement37. Home, Sweet Studio Home with Allycia and Kim“The way this space went down… it was like, had I been 12 hours later, I likely wouldn’t have got the space. But now I think even moreso, it was in not telling anybody it allowed me to process it in a really real way with my own thoughts and feelings and instincts about it. Without being pressured by the excitement of what it could be. Especially because the space is so f*cking beautiful.”TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:Aryn brings on Allycia and Kim on the podcast to talk about our new studio!Kim introduc...2024-12-111h 36

The Goddess Movement36. Why isn't it happening yet?!?TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:Aryn creates this little “express” episode where she shares her thoughts on the pressure of time and timing. She ponders how her interaction with timing has shifted from forcing timing like an angry bull in her 20’s into the playful curiosity and surrender of it in her late 40’s. Join Aryn for this episode as she leaves a trail of cookie crumbs to ponder in your relationship with timing!CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST ARYN SAVARDhttps://www.instagram.com/aryn_savard?igsh=MWJtcHVzZmZ5dmpibg==https://www.instagram.com/thegoddessmovementpodcast?igsh=MWY...2024-11-2730 min

The Goddess Movement35. Transformation + Enterpreneurship wth Nicole“I think entrepreneurs are incredibly multifaceted. I think there’s a lot of things that we're capable of learning and doing, but if we spend all of our time doing those things (even if we don’t like it or we’re not necessarily efficient at it) it prevents us from doing the things that do make a big impact. I’ve come to realize that if I am going to be behind my business, where I thrive is in the creative aspect of things. I tend to be the spark of stuff, and then I have this beautiful team that...2024-11-131h 22

The Goddess Movement34. Opening Pandora's Box“I don’t feel like I need to always be on track anymore. I used to… I used to a lot. But I don’t feel like that is realistic anymore. I feel like the more things you do in life, and the more experiences you have in life, the more I in particular, realize there is no such thing as being in track all the time. You can have goals, you can have desires, you can have actions and at no point in time will they all perfectly align so that everything is exactly the way you want it. It w...2024-11-0643 min

The Goddess Movement33. If I were to write a commencement speech...“I have so much respect for the teacher of that class because trying to bring forward the principles of philosophy, and create active thinking and curiosity-based questioning around concepts, and not making things right or wrong with a lot of our young people right now… is very difficult. Because it's a skill that you have to learn. But he f*cking loved that class because it was all of that stuff. It was theorizing and thinking and poking holes at things. So that would be one; question everything. Question everything people tell you about what you are supposed to be a...2024-10-3043 min

The Goddess Movement32. Busting the "Brules"“This is f*cking phenomenal. Now, the problem with it, is unless you get other tools to learn how to deal with the anxiety, it can get worse and worse and become a massive, interruptive problem because it just disrupts your entire life. Usually it’s at that point that we start to seek help – we deal with these coping mechanisms forever until we can’t function with life anymore. Drugs and alcohol are coping mechanisms to deal with things that are intensely uncomfortable; whether that is trauma, or an experience you’re in. I think it’s amazing that our bra...2024-10-1643 min

The Goddess Movement31. Droppin the f^King ball“This is something I am seeing happening a lot. It’s something I have been addressing in my business with my team, it’s something I have been working on myself, and it's something that I see even though our clientele. I feel like we are all very over-extended and have been that way for quite some time. I feel like the level of busy in people’s lives is f^@king insane. I am on a personal quest of… I don’t want to say being less busy. I feel like I have cultivated a pretty good balance these days...2024-10-0934 min

The Goddess Movement30. Counterbalance“When I'm afraid, when I'm experiencing fear… if I can understand that vulnerability is what's being asked of me and start to digest what that vulnerability looks like, feels like, can be experienced like – then when I step into courage and bravery, I kind of understand the assignment. The assignment isn't getting rid of fear. The assignment is tapping into what vulnerability is asking you to hold and love and shape within self.“TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:Aryn shares a thought about fear and it’s potential counterbalanceAn invitation to join the conversation is sharedReflections on Mackelm...2024-10-0214 min

The Goddess Movement29. Goodness Pie“When I look at the pie of life, we have to look at - what are we putting into the pie that we’re baking? What are WE as the individual, responsible for putting into the pie? Not, what everyone else is throwing into that pie. But more so, what am I baking into that pie. Is it fear? Is it insecurity? Is it judgement? Is it overactive ego? Or is it grounded confidence? Is it curiosity? Is it vulnerability? Is it desire for deep connection? All of those things will bake very different pies. And what’s really cool...2024-09-2546 min

The Goddess Movement28. A love note to the str!ppers that came before us with Tammy Morris“It felt like there was this sense of righteousness I’ll call it… where it’s like, because you didn’t strip, or because stripping is ‘dirty’ or it’s an underground industry, these are the thoughts that people have. That somehow I’m now approaching it better because I’m doing it in a studio. And to that I call 100% bullshit because as I said before — the only reason we’re able to do this is because people did strip and continue to strip. And how dare you, we, us in this pole studio industry, want to come in and embody what it is...2024-09-181h 22

The Goddess Movement27. Thief of Joy“Gratitude feels a lot like joy in that it is a state of being. I think the beingness of joy is an openness and to be able to accept the gifts of what is in the present, regardless of your circumstances. We can be in sadness and we can really be struggling AND we can also experience joy. I think what happens when we’re in sadness and when we’re struggling is it feels hard to open up to those things, to be able to recognize them, to be able to accept gifts in that moment because we are so...2024-09-1241 min

The Goddess Movement26. When Feeling Stuck Makes Angry Soup“The second one is finding something that sparks some semblance of passion in you. And the passion doesn’t have to necessarily be something that you care deeply about but it can just be something that moves you. One of the things that I have been diving into probably in the last two years is fantasy books. I love books about dragons, I love books about fantasy characters, faeries, warlocks — anything that is not real and carries some tone of magic. And so when I start to feel like this, I pick up my book. And even if I can sp...2024-09-0432 min

The Goddess Movement25. I Got it From My Mama with Joni"My mom was always a natural-born leader, and my dad was always a natural-born problem solver. And those are probably two of the things I appreciate most about learning from you guys. Because I have been able to incorporate both not only into who I am and who I teach my kid to be, but also how I've built the community with my studio. And how I've been able to survive a lot of the stuff that small business usually can't survive -- and as a small niche business. It's not like I am making shampoo that everybody needs...2024-08-281h 12

The Goddess Movement24. Boring Sh*t IS the Sparkly Unicorn“When we are trying to reach goals, we forget about the things that we learned or did in the very beginning that we had to put a lot of attention into because they were brand new. And when it comes to leaping beyond or reaching over a plateau, usually the answer is not anything drastic, its not anything life-altering, its not some massive message that’s going to drop into the backyard on a sparkly unicorn. It literally is the things you already know how to do and what’s being asked of you is to come back to them a...2024-08-1424 min

The Goddess Movement23. Elevate your Game in Choosing + Communicating“She’s definitely asking me to show up in a much more bold way. She’s asking me to make choices that a lot of people aren’t going to understand. And though I feel like I’ve been doing this most of my adult life – creating things and/or doing things that most people don’t understand – I feel like what is different about this, is wherever this is going next, it’s going to ruffle feathers. It’s not just going to be things that people don’t know about. I’m going to have to choose shit that makes people r...2024-08-0733 min

The Goddess Movement22. Returning Home to the Body + Dance with Laura“They dance from their gut. And what they have is presence. No one ever asked me if I felt present when I was dancing. And when I recently went back to training for the first time, I was like, wow I am the least present ever when I’m dancing. I am so out of my body. I don’t feel anything. I’m so in my head. The amount of times we come off stage and the choreographer goes ‘how was that, how did that feel?’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t know, I don’t remember’. I still see that with...2024-07-311h 49

The Goddess Movement21. Health + Hope with Elise“The gut-brain axis is fascinating, there’s so much new research coming out. The microbiome — they are just fully starting to understand how diverse and how impactful it is. What’s wild is the majority of our serotonin (our happy hormones) 90% is produced in our gut. So if you don’t have happy bacteria going on, you’re not going to have a happy mood.”TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:Elise Cochran (Certified Nutritional Practitioner) tells the story of how she found TGM and her pole journeyAryn and Elise recall the many Vertical Theatre productions that inspired their...2024-07-241h 46

The Goddess Movement20. Birthday Bites“I was able to shift how I was believing and behaving, which then created the freedom for people to love me the way they wanted to love me. And isn’t that the best gift? When we go through this journey of self-awareness and change, and trying to become our biggest, best, brightest selves – it can be a very tedious journey. It can feel like it doesn't end because it doesn’t. It can feel like there's constant friction. But the gift in it is: the more we can learn about ourselves, the more we can shift within ourselves so that...2024-07-1741 min

The Goddess Movement19. The Hodge Podge“What else is needed? What else is wanting to shift, wanting to open up? I can feel myself really leaning into my wisdom. I feel like the last 18 years in business has taught me one thing repetitively — and that is: the timing is not my own. Those people who are very close to me hear me make jokes all the time that time doesn’t exist. Because I want to fall into the trap of controlling time. Which we can’t — we can’t f*cking control anything. We’re always in relationship with things, we’re not controlling them. And so I h...2024-07-1050 min

The Goddess Movement18. F*ck hot girl era, Wisdom + DGAF era is where it's at!“One of the things I’ve always said is: please don’t stop doing life in the body you have right now. It is fine that you might want to change it. I am not going to tell you that you should love your body right now, I’m not telling you that your body is perfect right now because that is up to you. But – keep doing life in the body you have right now. When you have those thoughts where you’re like ‘Oh god, I shouldn't wear this’. Just fuckin' wear it! Just wear it and see what happens...2024-07-0331 min

The Goddess Movement17. Dance for the heart, Light Language for the soul with Leah"There is a reason why so many of us identify with running naked in the woods under a full moon. It's because it's part of our inner most essence."TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:Leah Laird, Dance Teacher + Energy Medicine Practitioner shares how she found The Goddess Movement and how it brought support for her heart and soul at the timeLeah shares about teaching sensual dance in the OkanaganLeaning into trusting her intuition, Leah makes the leap to say yes to life and move to ArmstrongHow the body tells us "yes" and "no"...2024-06-261h 14

The Goddess Movement16. Saying F*ck It or F*ck Off“You have friends, social acquaintances, work people, or a partner(s) in your life and to this point, they have known you to be a certain way…and then you come and do a class, and then you want to post a video or you want to be on the stage…it can create some challenges for people and they can have a hard time reconciling what it is that you are doing with their own belief system.”TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:Aryn addresses a common question for people who want to share their sensual videos a...2024-06-1945 min

The Goddess Movement15. Let's Talk About Sex with Shauna“There IS research now coming out. There ARE things being designed specifically BY vulva-owners FOR vulva-owners so that we can understand our experience. Because for so so long (from my perspective anyway) I always had felt like it wasn't understood or if I had an opinion or if I had something to share about what I was feeling or what I wanted, it wasn’t represented. I felt self-conscious sharing because I’m like, am I supposed to have my own desires? Am I supposed to be able to say that I like this, or don’t like this?”TODAY...2024-06-121h 24

The Goddess Movement14. The Sunshine & The Cloud with Julie“We agree to have some sort of existence here. When we land in our skinbags, we can’t remember the infinity of it all once we land here. It’s like going from something that is intensely infinite and trying to contain it into a garbage bag. Like there is no garbage bag big enough that could handle all of it. So when we land here, there is an inkling of it that we can kind of grasp onto, but for the most part – we can't retain/contain like 90% of it. And so here we are, fumbling through this existenc...2024-06-051h 38

The Goddess Movement13. After Spice: The Integration“I tend to get spicy when I’m very passionate about something. I think often, particularly as women, we are often told that we are too emotional or the emotional aspect of us makes it uncomfortable for other people and so they want us to tone it down and put it away. I think our society in is general is really awful at dealing with the big emotions like anger, frustration, grief, sadness, all of those sorts of things I feel like our North American society is really terrible at processing … the reason it’s important to give ourselves space to...2024-05-2919 min

The Goddess Movement12. Imma multi-dimensional badass, Baby with Sara“When you’re feeling so overwhelmed with all the change that you think needs to happen in the world, start in your own backyard. That’s where you start. Focus there. Because that can oftentimes create some of the biggest and most legacy-producing ripples in the world versus donating to whatever, or moving across the world to fight this – it’s like, those are all valuable things, but so is paying attention to your kid in the backyard when they’re playing.“TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:Sara introduces herself as a Life + Leadership Men...2024-05-221h 08

The Goddess Movement11. Vulnerability Slap in the Face“When I teach movement, I am also the first person to tell you that I am not the expert of this. I do not own this. My way is NOT the highway. It is A way. And I want to share that in the same regard for this podcast. I am simply sharing my own personal experience. Yes, I have some training and I have some background that can lend some structure to what it is that I’m saying. But at the end of the day, this is a conversation. This is just a conversation. And it is not...2024-05-1646 min

The Goddess Movement10. Being Seen & Feeling Safe with Jordan“It’s so not cliche. If you are willing to embrace the lessons that are meant for you, there is this beautiful, sweet spot. It’s not that you don't care anymore – it’s that you have enough life experience as a point of reference, to know what is worth your time and energy and what isn't. And I love that you had that multi-generational experience with them, because that is what I feel is missing in our society in terms of us as women in particular feeling like whole human beings – is so often we are only with the people t...2024-05-081h 38

The Goddess Movement09. Time, Love, Money, Power“…that life is just expensive. And so, if we quit trying to fight the base principle that life involves money, and start going – How do I interact with this rule of the game of being human? Now I start to be in a place of possibility. And that is the beautiful gift of thinking about things in a generative lens. Like, what is this bringing me? How can I interact with this in a way that can bring me abundance instead of me constantly feeling like I am in lack and I am at war with my mere existence.”TOD...2024-05-011h 15

The Goddess Movement08. Trusting Chaos Through Identity Shifts"The minute you have a dream about these things, the universe starts going ‘OOO, now I know where she wants to go, now we’re gonna shake shit up and we’re going to show her how to get there’. Here’s the thing friends – the way the universe works is not usually the way we imagine it.“TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:Aryn continues to share her personal stories in Part 2 of this 3-Part seriesDissecting people pleasing tendencies with real-life examples of how these dynamics play out at home and in-studioMaking necessary changes and learning to trust the i...2024-04-2445 min

The Goddess Movement07. Intensely Unique & Utterly Forgettable“I can release the idea that it has to be perfect. That I have to be the perfect person. That I have to say things just right. And show up at exactly the right timing. And wear just the right thing. And I have to have all of my ducks in a perfect row. That’s the part that I can release – because that part is utterly forgettable. It doesn’t matter.”TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT:In part one of this three-part series Aryn reveals the human behind The Goddess MovementChallenging the status quo in her career...2024-04-171h 10

The Goddess Movement06. Dog and Human Training with Ashlin"I'm going to be in the sandbox, and I'm just going to stir some shit around. And I'm going to figure out what happens. And I'm going to learn from that. And just because somebody shows up as being confident doesn't mean that they're not struggling with Imposter Syndrome. And they're going to struggle with it again; every time they expand and do something new. So with my coaching clients, I often say we are never arriving in the journey of self-awareness, of personal growth. We are never arriving, we are learning. And what we do, is we start...2024-04-101h 14

The Goddess Movement05. I Am Not Your Little Bunny"And once they start to embody this understanding of; I want to wear this, I want to move my body like this, I want to find pleasure in this and I desire this. Once that becomes rooted, then it becomes a lot easier to explain to people or to converse with people when they have that combative energy. When they feel threatened and they’re like ‘Who do you think you are?’ Well, now you know who you are! Now you’ve had enough time to play around with it that it becomes part of who you are. And instead...2024-04-0329 min

The Goddess Movement04. Getting Out of Your Own Way & Into Community with Cass“It means there's a certain level of vulnerability that you have to allow. If I don't know Cass, and I come up to her in the studio, and my desire is to create deep, meaningful connections while I'm there – I have to be willing to put myself at risk for her to not like me, for her to not accept me. I have to be willing to be that vulnerable. Which means there are some layers of that protection mechanism that I have to willingly dismantle." Today on The Goddess Movement:Cassandra joins Aryn to discuss what...2024-03-271h 02

The Goddess Movement03. Holding The Vision for all The Expansion"If you jump in, and you keep going, what happens is you become attuned to this expansive space that you are dreaming into. Because there's one thing to dream things into existence, or to dream about them, its a whole other thing to physically bring them through. If you are going to physically bring them through into reality, you best believe there's going to be some things that you need to change about yourself. And it's not changing them about yourself as much as it is learning to develop a new relationship with yourself and with these concepts...2024-03-2023 min

The Goddess Movement02. Our Shared Pain and Collective Thrival (2019-2023)"I was at one point in time about ten days away from having to shut our doors. Made some hard decisions at that time - again, some of them were unpopular. But it was what carried us through. And a few weeks after that we started to learn that we were going to be able to open our doors and continue classes. And because of everything that transpired and those beautiful, heart wrenching moments along the way - we now have been thriving since the lock downs. The power of connection and community during that time is what carried...2024-03-2021 min

The Goddess Movement01. The Birth and the Beginning of The Goddess Movement"The more I started to look at that in other women,I was like, oh my goodness this is what's happening. We are all feeling threatened and we feel like there isn't enough love and acceptance and encouragement and desire to go around, so I've got to tear her down so there's more room for me. And once I realized that, it kind of coincided with start of my pole dancing studio, The Goddess Movement. And then I felt like I had the environment, the invitation, the space, the ownership to start changing the rules. I was like, nobody...2024-03-0923 min

Fit in Real LifeFVY 69: Mean Girls, the Breakdown of a Business Owner & Setting Boundaries with Aryn SavardDo you feel judged by others, especially other women? Or, do you find yourself comparing yourself to those around you, and perhaps trying to pick apart and being others down?
