Almost all somatic practitioners (including embodiment coaches) I work go through a phase of feeling super worried about activating latent trauma & triggering a client. This is a conversation I have with women a lot. Sometimes, this fear manifests as an extreme over-abundance of caution, need to “get it right” & hyper-fixation on strategies. This results in practitioners holding themselves back from deepening into sensation - to everyone’s detriment, especially the clients. Today on the podcast we’re speaking wi...2024-03-1347 min

Sensitivity is a skill many of us were never taught, nor taught to value. Yet in dampening our ability to feel, sense & perceive the textures, sensations & knowings of our inner world, many of us have (inadvertently) left our bodies. My journey back home to the body began with re-sensitizing my body. Turning UP the volume of my inner sensations, so that I could feel more & be cracked open to life’s ravishment more consistently.

Given the deep spiritual roots of yoga from various Indian philosophies & teachers, you’d expect yoga to be something that bought you deeper into inhabiting and expressing yourself fully (my definition of embodiment). Except I frequently find myself in yoga classes lacking that resonance. Perhaps they are more focused on precise asanas with increasing complexity, or a workout to sweat. Either way, modern western yoga (asana) classes as I experience them sometimes ≠ embodied.

The idea that “stress” isn’t just all adrenaline-running-around-drama, but can also also/often show up as frozen-shut-down-numbness really hit home. I feel so many of us have constant moderate-grade stress in our lives that just leaves us feeling… numb. Understanding Polyvagal Theory (PVT) helped me to understand, neurologically, why this numbness comes about & why this magical-thing-called-embodient worked so well in unraveling it. It’s also the foundation theory in our Coaching Cert, so at the heart of what I love.

Today on the podcast, I’m chatting with Rochelle Schieck, founder of the Qoya movement method. A big part of our conversation is exploring how we unwind the urgency of linear time & use the body as a portal to soul time. Rochelle & I have very different felt experiences of this shift away from urgent-linear-time into expansive-soul-time. I’m curious if you’ll relate to either or perhaps experience it in another way.2023-05-0848 minSchool of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS8E3 - The Human Method: A Somatic Nervous System Balm with Nahid de BelgeonneHow can we be fully human?

Today on the podcast… We’re defining ‘what is emotional labor?’ (Tip-you’re doing TONS of it all the time) We’re exploring if you value emotional labor, or if you’ve internalized the dominant narrative that it’s nothing special & not very valuable We speak about the feminist roots of emotional labor in the family uni...2022-06-1331 minSchool of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS6E01 - Comparing Embodiment & Somatics Training - How Is Fec Different?When I first studied ‘embodiment’ there was only 1 professional training I could find on the market (it was this one). Over the years ‘embodiment’ has become a popular concept & the number of training has blossomed. Those entering the space of professional embodiment training may feel overwhelmed by choice! So how can you figure out the difference between them? And which one is right for you?

But this episode of the podcast is a little different. Today I’m in the hot seat, answering some of the most frequently asked questions, about my personal experiences with a feminine embodiment, and how it all came about. I invited Kate Leiper, a friend, peer & Master Coach hereat theSchool of EmbodiedArtsto take the reins for this special interview where we explore topics across the span of my career, from before I knew what “embodiment” was, to how I shaped it into a model of coaching.

We create separation when we speak in ‘code’ about our own body. Part of the shaming, silencing & taboo around periods is our participation in not naming them. In Claire’s household, she has changed her language (& over several years educated her partner to do the same). In her household, they name it - “I’m bleeding” There’s a reason women feel the subtle need to silence their own periods - we’re di...2022-04-1844 minSchool of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS5E07 - Countercultural Leadership: Capitalism, Race & What It Means In Business with Toi SmithIn a system that shapes our bodies as a means for production (that is, taxi for our brains & a machine to put to work to get things done) it’s a countercultural act to center the fullest expression of who you are as a human being in the way you live & work. That’s exactly what Toi takes a stand for & in this conversation we explore current cultures including capitalism, race & what it means for women, white women and business. In this discussion with Jenna & Toi we explore: 3 common capitalist practices many entrepreneurs employ How T...2022-04-1044 minSchool of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS5E06 - Opening The Heart Through Breast Massage with Michelle LynnA few weeks ago I began doing daily breast massage, under the expert guidance of Michelle Lynn who’s a Feminine Embodiment Coach & also a teacher with us at the School of Embodied Arts. It was divine. As Michelle’s smooth voice guided me into… “Dropping below the mind looking at the heart, and being your heart feeling. Seeing with the eyes of your heart, listening with your heart.” I melted. So I thought... every person with breasts should be introduced to this practice! And...2022-03-2040 minSchool of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS5E05 - Retiring The Good Girl with Jessica JordanIn this podcast with Australian Feminine Embodiment Coach, Jessica Jordan, we take a personal examination of the disempowered feminine ‘good girl’.

Embodied with Elizabeth DiAltoFeminine Embodiment and Magnetism with Jenna WardAre you living according to your truth?

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Feminine Embodiment Coach Jenna Ward about her experience with feminine embodiment and magnetism. As a coach, Jenna helps women get in touch with their feminine energy and practice embodiment in their daily lives. She teaches her students how to open...2022-02-281h 05
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS5E04 - The Mental Load with Dr. Robyn Miller Have you ever felt frustrated, exhausted, or resentful about the disproportional invisible and emotional labor you, as a woman, carry around your home? Robyn Miller discusses the ‘Mental Load’ with me on today’s podcast. The concept of the Mental Load is hundreds of years old. In many western countries since the 14th-century women’s energy has been seen as a natural resource to fuel the family (according to feminist scholar Silvia Federici, one of my hero’s). Today, even though women have near-equity in so many diverse areas, we often still find ourselves carrying more than our...2022-02-2045 min
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS5E03 - What Would Pleasure Do? With Susana Frioni“I’m having a wild love affair with pleasure for an entire year” This was the committment Susana Frioni, Embodiment Coach & Sacred Dance Facilitator made in 2017. I can tell you, it worked. If someone says pleasure, Susana is the friend that first comes to mind. This year I’ve made a commitment to increase my own pleasure devotion. Like Susana, I’ve found that when my embodiment practice becomes habituated, it needs a fresh focus for inspiration & expansion. For me, in 2022, this fresh focus is pleasure. So I though who better...2022-02-0652 min

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS5E01 - Embodying the Erotic with Holly WodetzkiToday on the podcast we’re joined by one of my dearest friends. She’s a fellow suburban mother & one of the most erotic women I know. On the surface, this woman may seem busy with playdates, cooking & doing all the regular activities that come with modern life. But bubbling only ever so slightly below the surface is a sensual woman, deeply embodied in her mature & erotic feminine. Holly Wodetzki is the creator & a facilitator of Sensual Embodied Dance.

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS4E16 - My 3 Favourite Feminine Books & 2021 ReflectionsIt’s December & the days are getting shorter, the nights colder. Holiday seasons are the time I love to escape into a book. I have 3 great feminine books to recommend this year. These books have nourished, spoken to my feminine heart & given me so much to contemplate. 2021 Reflections As we wrap this calendar year it’s also a natural time for reflection. While this hyper-masculine world would have us rush forward to set intentions & go-go-go (always rushing forward)... I’m instead sitting in the reflection of: Who have I become t...2021-12-1825 min
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS4E15 - Anger: Why is it so Hard to Feel It?My 2-year-old is giving me an education on anger. Navigating how to parent a fiery little human has me reflecting on how I meet with and ‘manage’ my anger, and what I want to teach and model for her. As someone who works professionally in the realm of emotional embodiment, it’s been a deep contemplation because I see this challenge - to meet and express our anger - come up so much in coaching with women. We fear our anger. We worry it will be destructive or damaging...2021-12-0635 min
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS4E14 - Ancestral Embodiment with Sharandeep Kaur & Jen MurphyEmbodiment is a way of being central to many ancient indigenous teachings, yet many cultural practices & lineages have been lost, silenced, or colonized.

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS4E13 - Embracing The Season You’re InIt’s autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere and despite the stunning dappled light through the amber leaves, I’ve been feeling a little heavy (not physically, more emotionally) & not as inspired as usual. Winter is a season that our culture doesn’t celebrate. It’s not productive, or fast, it isn’t bright or energized. So at first, I tried to resist it, change it and make it go away. Which didn’t work. I had to dive a little deeper to find the gifts and medicine in this wintertime. Which brings u...2021-11-0322 min
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS4E12 - Why Do I Skip My Devotional Practice (Even Though I Really Want to do It)?Do you have a devotional practice (such as feminine embodiment, meditation, yoga, movement practice, journaling) that you want to do... but just don’t? Yesterday I was speaking with a peer & participant in our Coaching Certification program. As part of her personal mastery she desired to dive deep into feminine embodiment movement practices, yet for the past two weeks, despite best intentions, had yet to do a single practice. I got it. I’ve been there. And I’ll be there again. While I’m aware of how well, centered, grounded, resourced...2021-10-0831 min

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS4E10 - Coaching From The HeartRecently I was asked, “how can I coach more from my heart, instead of my head? In sessions with clients, I’m stressing about what to do next and if the session will end well. I’m sure my client can feel it”. If you’ve ever overplanned or controlled your sessions, thought “what am I going to say next?!” or been exhausted before it began — this is the perfect podcast for you. Vulnerability is the language of the heart. The unconditional, wise messenger of our bodies. When we avoid vulnerability, we have to leave o...2021-09-1136 min
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS4E09 - Demonizing the BodyI’m yet to meet a woman who doesn’t have some internalized struggle with body image, weight or beauty. The narrative of how we ‘should’ look, what is ‘beautiful’ and how ‘big’ our bodies are allowed to be is impossible to internalize. It’s also just as challenging to deconstruct & redefine on our own terms. In today’s interview, we’ve invited Licensed Mental Health Therapist & anti-racism eating disorder specialist Alishia McCullough to speak with us about emotional eating, diet and demonizing the black body. In our conversation we’re breaking down emotional eating, looking for clues to illuminate the s...2021-08-2339 min
School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna WardS4E08 - Procrastination: Problem or Power Move by your Wise Body?Procrastination. Do you delay or put off tasks until the last minute? It’s a theme that frequently comes up with the women I coach yet & this recent Instagram post on the topic was one of my most popular this year. So I’ve decided to flesh out some more thoughts/feelings on the topic because... There’s so much MORE than just “procrastination” going on when we really unpack the dynamics & “dysfunction” at the heart of this word. Personally, I’ve stopped using the word & no longer identify as a procrastinator. Tune in to find out why.2021-08-0932 min
