Radical Remembrance: Conversations on Being Human (formerly Ladies Who Lead)

Allowing ourselves to receive, not indulge in, more pleasure is the pathway to healing in life. In this episode, with our guest Miriam Elyse (www.miriamelyse.com), Licensed Acupuncturist, Sacred Tantra Coach and founder of Pleasure as Medicine, we dive into the ways in which so many of us as women have been conditioned to not express ourselves fully, particularly our sensual and erotic nature. Miriam shares how she has liberated herself from the patterns of playing small, her responses to trauma, and how we can all find permission in our own embodiment and way of being. She talks about healing the epidemic of the undernourished woman.

Inspired by the New Year your host Luna Love is here to honor this threshold, a time of completion and new beginnings.

It is important to mention that no matter when you tune in, this will be applicable to your life as the new beginning can begin whenever we wish, it doesn’t have to be January 1st. We get to decide. We get to prepare, postpone, or pretend. To check out all things Radical Remembrance head on over to www.lunaloveleadership.com/podcast for all the show notes, links, and more goodies.

Today’s episode is with Natali Morris (www.natalimorris.com), financial expert, and I struggled with the decision to air this episode and have trustingly chosen to do so. We could and maybe should have called it “Playing the Game of Capitalism” We have differing views on a handful of things and I didn’t challenge as much as I may have been inspired to during our time together. But I also found a lot of value from her share that I trust many in our audience will benefit from. Natali is a broadcaster, writer, speaker, and Cofounder and CFO of Morris Invest. Previously, she was a news anchor and technology reporter for NBC, CBS, and The Today Show. Natali's family of five has recently achieved financial freedom, and her mission is to empower other women to take control of their money and businesses, and start building real long-term wealth.
