EP5 - Self Awareness - Turning Up For You.

When was the last time you truly showed up for yourself—not for others, not out of obligation, but just for you? In this episode, we explore the transformative power of prioritizing your own needs and embracing self-awareness. I share a personal story of stepping out of my comfort zone during a life-affirming retreat, where the unexpected joy of an ’80s-themed ecstatic dance opened my eyes to the healing power of playfulness and self-expression.

If you’ve been putting yourself on the back-burner, let this episode inspire you to step up, show up, and make space for you.


In This Episode, We Cover:

  • The concept of "turning up for you" and what it truly means to prioritize your own needs and well-being.

  • A personal story of participating in a retreat focused on celebrating life and the body, and the unexpected challenges and lessons that emerged.

  • The creation and facilitation of an '80s-themed ecstatic dance experience designed to be cheeky, playful, and joyous.

  • The power of ecstatic dance as a tool for releasing inhibitions, fostering connection, and experiencing pure, unadulterated joy.

  • The importance of finding alternative outlets for self-expression and emotional release, especially for those who struggle with traditional meditationpractices.
