Embodiment has been a HUGE part of what made motherhood doable. But many of us don't learn how to embody what we want. In this episode, Natalie Neckyfarow gleams some insight on what it looks like when you embody your future self, so you have the energy to live the life you dream of. Why is embodiment so important? When we think of self-care, we think of it as outside of the messy chaos of our daily lives, but self-care is all about finding the time within the chaos to reclaim those moments in order to have the energy to live the life we desire. THIS IS EMBODIMENT. What We Discuss with Natalie Neckyfarow: If you’re ready to experience empowered embodiment in real time you can join Natalie and I on May 16th (not the 15th, like I say in the episode!) you can join in at: IsabelleBridges.com/mentorconvo Please join Natalie's Self Love Party at https://www.cultivatingempathycoaching.com/self-love-party/

“The fear of being unseen is so wise because it motivates you to think about what you want more of.” These are just a few of the words that struck me in my conversation with Kate. In this 4-part series, Cultivate Village, we take a stand together to get real and practical about how we ensure you get the support you need, require and desire, and/or make different choices based on the resources you have. I've wanted to do an episode on maternal mental health for a while, but when I felt into what would really serve us, a deeper dive into you FEELING and BEING supported on all levels came through loud and clear. In my conversation with Kate Kripke we will explore and dive into some of the key strategies you need to actually show up in and grow in your life, including: Throughout the Cultivate Village series, we will create space for you to tune into ways to Cultivate Village so you can live empowered, from the inside out.
