  198. Spotlight: Creating A Coaching Livelihood with Robyn Gooding 19.08.2026 39min

  Can you create a (thriving) livelihood as a coach?  Yes, you can. BUT. You'll need to overcome these 3 hurdles first.    Today, I'm joined on the podcast by Robyn Gooding, a 2023 graduate of our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Cert. Robyn is a business coach who helps women scale their business without losing themselves or the parts of their life they love the most.   In this episode, we unpack: The 3 hurdles almost every early-stage business owner hits & why two of them get mistaken for a confidence problem (when they're not). How Robyn started her business & runs it in 20 hours a week  Why being smart can sabotage getting started & the trap high-intelligence founders frequently fall into Robyn's master's thesis on female economic empowerment & the structural findings she says the coaching industry conveniently ignores. Where to actually start when the online advice is contradictory and endless   Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Robyn Gooding - Website | Instagram | The Mothered Business Podcast Jenna Ward - Website | Instagram  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - professional training  Graduate Spotlight - more stories from past graduates

  195. How To Make Embodied Decisions: When Pros & Cons Don't Cut It 14.07.2026 23min

  What to kick indecision to the curb & get clear on your next move, in the most embodied way? Me too. Which is why I love embodied decisions. Beyond a list of pros & cons, embodied decisions help us make slow, considered, felt decisions that sincerely get to the heart of what we value, how we want to feel & how we can step into more of ourselves. I've used embodied decision making countless times (with myself & my clients). So today on the podcast we're diving into how to do it & a recent example from my life… Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Somatic Self Coaching - free guide Info Session - Explore the Philosophy of Feminine Embodiment Coaching Primal Feminine Flow - at home embodiment practice Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - professional training

  194. Coming Home to Worth: How I'm Dismantling the Stories Extractive Capitalism Built Inside My Body 26.06.2026 36min

  If you want to embody deep worthiness that floats around you in an aura of constant, unquestioning I am enough…  you just need to dismantle the scaffolding capitalism built inside your body.  Capitalism has (without our consent) built stories inside our bodies that tell us we are what we own, what we produce and what we earn. So let's unpack those & dismantle this scaffolding! In this podcast Jenna Ward (Feminine Embodiment Coach & Founder of the School of Embodied Arts) explores how we can become more embodied & full in our feminine flow by dismantling the stories capitalism has shaped us with.  Because you are not what you get done. You are not what you own. And your value is not what you earn. You are a precious part of the web of life. Just as you are.   Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Global inequality facts What is capitalism?  Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation by Silvia Federici I Eat The Stars by Sarah Wilson  Info Session - Explore the Philosophy of Feminine Embodiment Coaching  Somatic Self Coaching - free guide  Primal Feminine Flow - at home embodiment practice  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - professional training

  If you want to weave more feminine into your day, start taking lessons from mother nature.

  192. Feeling Rushed or Disconnected? 5 Bite-Sized Embodiment Practices To Try 09.06.2026 24min

  Want to shift from rushed → calm, and going through the motions → deeply connected (without going on a retreat or spending a week in meditation)? Me too!!! Most of us know what it feels like to go through the motions - ticking off the to-do list, getting from one task to the next, collapsing into bed and wondering where the day actually went. Not burned out exactly. Just... a little numb. A little out of touch with ourselves. We've got a new podcast sharing 5 practices I've been loving lately as a human trying to actually feel her days, not just survive them. None of these require a retreat, a ritual, or an hour of free time. They are tiny practices that create a big exhale as you get more calm & connected (to yourself, your aliveness & our world).

  191. [Best Of] The #1 Skill In Embodiment Is…. 24.03.2026 44min

  The single most popular podcast I've ever made is this one. After publishing 200+ episodes to 140,000+ listeners over years, there is one clear fave ep that still stands the test of time. So today I'm sharing it with you from the archives. Embodiment is a practice, devotion - and skill. We are born embodied - you only have to watch how effortlessly a young child inhabits & expresses themselves fully. But as culture & the demands of life shape us… we often lose the skill of inhabiting our most essential self. We get numb, armored, and pulled into the demands of living which, TBH, are sometimes easier to manage when the world is on fire (but you've still got to pay your rent or drop your kid to school). While there's nothing wrong with being dis-embodied & disconnected from the universe of feeling within - for some of us, it feels like half living. And we might not be willing to settle for that. So if you want to feel more embodied, here's the skill to practice….   Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Info Session - Explore the Philosophy of Feminine Embodiment Coaching  Somatic Self Coaching - free guide  Primal Feminine Flow - at home embodiment practice  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - professional training

  [Wise Body] Aliveness As Medicine: Pleasure & Flow Is How We Grow 16.02.2026 24min

  We're kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week. → We start 2 March 2026. → You can find all the details here →     Transformation shouldn't only be heavy, painful or vulnerable (if it is you're missing half of the key ingredients).    Many of us treat our bodies as the sum of our hurts. And when we're healed enough, whole enough, THEN we can feel good.    This approach is noble - but it misses the fact that you don't have to be "fully healed" BEFORE you become an alive, pleasure-filled human.    In fact healing is NOT the fastest path to feeling more radiantly alive, most of the time.    Today on our limited series podcast we're talking about aliveness, pleasure & how we can raise the ceiling on how good we (& our clients) can feel when we stop 'fixing' and start cultivating pleasure as power.    This episode is drawn directly from frameworks & teachings in our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - which is kicking off 2nd March with a special Orientation Week.    If you're loving the podcast so far let's chat about the coaching cert & if it's the right fit for you.  Learn more here 📆Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification Orientation Week - March 2026 →

  We're kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week. → We start 2 March 2026. → You can find all the details here → —------------ Want to learn the structure of a potent somatic session?   When I was first working with clients it started with… have a chat, hope it worked!    Each time I was drawing on my intuition & 🤞hoping we'd find the sweet spot (it was exhausting).    Over time I developed a goal-centered foundation to hold both myself & my clients. It made my sessions easier to hold AND allowed me to charge more money for my services.    Today in our 3rd episode of The Wise Body limited podcast series I'm spilling the tea on….    🎧Goals, But Make Them Embodied: The Structure Of Potent Somatic Sessions  →    This episode is drawn directly from frameworks & teachings in our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification - which is kicking off 2nd March with a special Orientation Week.    If you're loving the podcast so far let's chat about the coaching cert & if it's the right fit for you.  Learn more here 📆Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification Orientation Week - March 2026 →

  [Wise Body] The Architecture Of Breakthroughs - Vulnerability That Transforms 14.02.2026 30min

  If you tune in today & feel I want to walk this path more deeply… We're kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week. → We start on 2 March 2026. → You can find all the details here → —------------ If you're drawn to the embodied arts and feel called to support women in deepening into their body's wisdom - vulnerability is a KEY tool to get there. But vulnerability can be hard enough to cultivate in ourselves. Let alone with clients who are resistant (or numb).  So in today's podcast, the second of our Wise Body series exploring the 6 domains of embodiment coaching for women practitioners, we're mapping the architecture of breakthroughs using vulnerability.    In this episode, we geek out on theories of change, prerequisites for vulnerability, how to cultivate action through flow (not force) & my own recent vulnerable questions.  I'll also share THE key question I ask myself when I'm feeling crunchy & confused… and want to crack my heart open with some (constructive) vulnerability.    Hope you enjoy!

  [Wise Body] Felt Sense First - Why Interoception Is the Heart of Embodiment 13.02.2026 27min

  If you tune in today & feel I want to walk this path more deeply… We're kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week. → We start on 2 March 2026. → You can find all the details here → —------------ How do we shift ourselves (& our clients) from numbness to heart-tingling-ravishing-aliveness (without taking a 10-day silent meditation retreat)?    This question is how I got into embodiment.    The answer (which I discovered is a "technology" that sits at the 💛 of all somatic modalities) is interoception.    I didn't know this word (or WTF it meant) for YEARS into my embodiment journey. I was "doing" embdoiment (& feeling more ravishingly alive) without the fancy theory.    But when it was time to guide my clients deeper, I needed to have a better understanding of the underpinning philosophy AND be able to work in more predictable (& safer) ways.    So today, on our first episode of The Wise Body limited podcast series, we're exploring The Felt Sense & Why Interoception Is The 💛of Embodiment.   If you tune in today & feel I want to walk this path more deeply… We're kicking off our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification with a special Orientation Week.  We start 2 March 2026.

  EPIC COACHING SERIES: Retiring The Imposter & Embracing The Initiation 10.01.2026 24min

  Who am I to do this? Who am I to claim expertise? Who am I to guide anyone here? If you've had a rich personal awakening that's sparked a deep calling to step into service & help others… that same calling might sometimes feel like it's kicking your ass.  So how do we move past feeling like an imposter & instead embrace the initiation?  Today we're exploring why our deepest devotional work often kicks our ass & 3 powerful strategies to stay on track when times are hard.  I believe your calling - the lived experience you've uniquely had - has chosen to partner with you for a reason.  You didn't stumble into this by accident. I know I didn't decide to guide creatives into more feminine ways of leading & working because it made sense as a business 🤣Instead, piece by piece the calling revealed itself. Moving through my life & then wanting me to move it out into the world.  If your calling keeps challenging you, trust that it's for a reason. The world needs the seed that's been planted in your heart.  Today is our final episode in a 5-part podcast on how to step into your most potent practitioner era, letting your gifts and genius shine fully - so you can guide every client session with deep somatic impact & effortless confidence. ⭐If you're a new & existing practitioner seeking more embodied depth & frameworks to support your clients in more somatic ways - check out the Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification, a 6 month professional training for women.    ⭐If you're a graduate of the Feminine Embodiment Coaching Cert & ready for your next era of practitioner mastery - doors open to our Level 2 Advanced Mentoring & Supervision Community January 2026.

  How can we do our best coaching, even if we're having a mental health dip?  I'm hosting a 5-part podcast on how to step into your most potent practitioner era, letting your gifts and genius shine fully - so you can guide every client session with deep somatic impact & effortless confidence. Today we're exploring the natural season of high's & low's we all experience.  Moments we're stretched, exhausted or not as grounded as we'd like. But just because we're in our own moments of stress, doesn't mean we can't serve our clients in profound ways.  On today's podcast I'm sharing two strategies I use to do epic coaching even when I'm on day one of my cycle, undergoing huge identity shifts, stress, or in other mental health dips.  This podcast isn't about "pushing through" in ways that harm you or extract from you further 🤮. Instead it's an invitation to work in embodied ways that restore you - while you keep showing up to serve your clients.  Because you don't have to "have it all together" or be the "perfect practitioner" in order to do epic work.  Even if you're dealing with your own stuff, have "further to go" or have more healing to do (who doesn't) you CAN still be of deep service & do epic work with your clients. This podcast shows you how.  ⭐If you're a new & existing practitioner seeking more embodied depth & frameworks to support your clients in more somatic ways - check out the Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification, a 6 month professional training for women.  ⭐If you're a graduate of the Feminine Embodiment Coaching Cert & ready for your next era of practitioner mastery - doors open to our Level 2 Advanced Mentoring & Supervision Community January 2026.

  EPIC COACHING SERIES: 2 Powerful Rituals to Elevate Your Coaching Sessions 07.01.2026 22min

  I'm hosting a 5-part podcast on how to step into your most potent practitioner era, letting your gifts and genius shine fully - so you can guide every client session with deep somatic impact & effortless confidence. Today we're on day 2 & I'm sharing 2 rituals that make every session epic! Over the past few months, I've been doing everything from three-hour VIP sessions to short 45 minute coaching calls. Before every single session I do these two rituals. They are short & sweet.  But most important - these rituals help me enjoy my coaching work more and help my clients get better results.  This ritual shifts my energy from pressure to perform to empowered cheerleading.  My job is not to create the outcome for them. Their growth is theirs. My role is to hold the container, ask powerful questions, and facilitate access to their own power. And these rituals set me up to do exactly this.    ⭐If you're a new & existing practitioner seeking more embodied depth & frameworks to support your clients in more somatic ways - check out the Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification, a 6 month professional training for women.  ⭐If you're a graduate of the Feminine Embodiment Coaching Cert & ready for your next era of practitioner mastery - doors open to our Level 2 Advanced Mentoring & Supervision Community January 2026.
