How we have gotten so far away from our humanness that it seems truly revolutionary, counter culture and “crunchy, new agey, witchy, weird and whatever other labor you want to put on it, in our society to actually live in alignment with our natural cycles; to simply pause throughout the day and to tap into the “laws of nature” and live in alignment with them rather than biohacking our way or controlling them. Women share with me all the time how they wish they could simply rest when they are on their cycle or how emotional they are that they have to hide at their jobs for fear of being emotional or “bitchy”. The story of our society and therefor it's very structure is that we don't honor the total and complete natural design of the female rhythm or even the Earth's rhythm. So what if we changed the narrative, we didn't feel bad or wrong about it. We didn't push through? What if we didn't label it as “hippy”, “new age”, “crunchy organic people” to simply live in our innate rhythm? What if it totally shifted our culture to claim it and slowly move into more alignment? What does that even look like? This week's podcast recounts a story from a class I recently taught with a group of women where we explored Perimenopause and also the labels there were around totally natural things like breathing, cycles and simply how would it change life to live in deeper alignment, to rewild! Enjoy and let me know your thought! ------------------------------ To learn more about ReWilding and the offerings of Soul Midwife Julie head to soulmidwifejulie.com

We are all messy, we all make mistakes, we all have shadows and some level of trauma. We are all humans! So what if we stop being so hard on ourselves and step into grace? What does that FEEL like inside our body and how does it allow us to shift into softness AND radical responsibility. In this podcast I cover how grace is found in the shadow and how we can begin to reclaim aspects of ourselves.

The Solstice is an astrological event that spans time and space where we are able to measure the alignment of the light. Our ancestors, advanced and ancient civilizations all around the globe knew this.  The constructed incredible structures to celebrate, demonstrate and honor this "portal of alignment" It is an incredible time to sit  and get really clear about what want to align/shift into.   This week I recorded a special podcast outlining a Solstice Ritual for you to step into deeper alignment.   Who are you choosing to be?  It is a ritual not about "trading up" to you for a more "improved" and better version of yourself.  It isn't about fixing your mind, body or spirit!  In reality you don't need fixing!   Instead it is all about aligning to the truth of who you already are and what you are ready to uncover and commit to stepping into.

What does it mean to live life from a new center of gravity? So many of us live life from our heads. We make decisions based on pro's and con's We create our lives from maps that are created often by others expectations and versions of what is best for us. We try to control and plan and feel exhausted because well the nature of life is change! What if we lived life from a new place? From a new center of Gravity? What would that look and feel like? A place that is more true, more you and more aligned. A place that relies on your internal GPS and thrives in the mystery of each and every moment. That allows change to be. In this podcast I explore what it means to live life from a new center of gravity and how we can begin to step into alignment with that. ---------------------- If you are interested in the Soul Print Journey head over to soulmidwifejulie.com/soul-print to register.

Death and rebirth Catterpillar butterfly Dissipative Structure Expansion and Contraction These are all ways we have described the universal occurrence of going into the underworld and coming out new. This is a natural part of the human experience and is medicine for our soul! When we fight that call into the contraction, into the underworld well we sink. It's like being pulled under the water and fighting for dear life. Your body gets stressed and you try and survive. When we sink in we allow the shed to occur. We trust in the process knowing that this discomfort, the fear, the big emotions are all a part of the process. That there is so much wisdom on this journey and when we step into it willingly we give it space and allow the alchemy to take place. When we tap into the wisdom of the contraction, we shed light on the darkness. We reclaim parts of us that were banned, shunned, boxed away, we release the shame and uncover hidden parts of us that can be invited back in to our wholeness. There are natural phases of this shedding. Parts of the growth journey of our life. Points like puberty, pregnancy, peri menopause. There are also a lot of places in between that we are beckoned down. In fact part of the menstruating women's cycle is this monthly shed and rebirth. So what helps you move into Shedding rather than Sinking? Know your signs! Know the signs that you are going in and then following them  (tendency to want to be alone, urge to numb, big feelings come up..deep and wide) Don't resist…what you resist persists and will eventually hit you over a head with a two by four.  Go in.  Go into that void.  The darkness.  The big emotions.  They will not kill you…they will rebirth you and help you become stronger. Know the deeper purpose.  We are not just human beings controlling our lives.  There is a deeper purpose, a deeper wisdom to our existence.  It is our Soul Print.  When we connect with our soul, with the voice and the wisdom that we have access to then the deeper meaning becomes clear.  We are still humans…we do still feel all of it in our grounded human dense bodies it is both.  We need to slow down and let what gets in the way be the way. To hear more about knowing if you are sinking or shedding.

A grounded conversation about the expanding the container of the known and stepping deeper into the unknown. Connecting with your True self and Soul Print. Do you ever feel like you are STUCK in a box that just doesn't fit! Your inner world feels disconnected, fragmented and kinda empty and your outer world feels, well robotic and like there is something missing! Do you find yourself looking for your purpose or just knowing that there is SOMETHING MORE, SOME GREATER PURPOSE to this life? Your purpose here on Earth is super simple. It is to LIVE your life as YOU! You are the only you in this entire world and each and every one of us is needed for the collective whole in our unique way. You are a beautiful drop of water in an expansive ocean. When we live a life that is out of alignment with that unique self, we experience a sense of disconnection and always trying to push life and stuff it into a box. We begin to feel STUCK, DEPRESSED, ANXIOUS, FRAGMENTED AND YUCK IN LIFE. When we live life from our deepest connection to our unique soul print we are able to experience the same life VERY differently. We flow with life. We are no longer stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed and living life how we were “programmed” and how we think others want us to be seen, we live our life on purpose! We all have our unquie soul prints, just like our body has a finger print. We are all so very special just by BEING us.

Presence is a passport to fuller life! “It is our connection to that greater Being to which we belong, but which is often buried beneath mundane concerns, bodily desires, emotional disturbances and mental distraction." - Kabir Helminski This podcast explores how we tap into presence, why we need presence and how to make space and value it as a passport to a greater, fuller life. In a world that is so FOCUSED up with things externally. In a world that can be stressful, fear inducing and where we can get lost in the mundane concerns, we can tune to presence as an anchor and a guide to stay connected. It is time to awaken to the presence of us. Presence is our way through. Presence is the way to a live a life that is in deeper peace.

Are you feeling stuck in life? Do you feel a longing to rebirth and become a new version of yourself that aligns deeper with who you are on the inside? Have you spent a lot of life living in a personality or in a way that has been molded by what we think others around us want? In reality pretty much all of us can say yes at one point in our lives to all of these questions! We grow up and are molded and shaped by our families, friends and the larger culture. We pick up personalities traits, habits and even trauma that informs how we show up in life but we don't have to stay stuck in this. In this podcast I speak to this reclamation of our self and how natural it is for us to shed layers throughout our lives and to get closer and closer to our true selves, to reclaim ourselves and to come home! Enjoy!

"I want to be useful"- So many of us under neath and deep inside feel the desire to simply be useful. We are all born with unique gifts, superpowers that when we align with we are able to express our usefulness into this world. This doesn't mean that we have to make a career or even money out of it, although for some it may. It just means deep down we want express our usefulness out into the world as a service.

There are so many signposts on the path of rewilding and returning home as we strip layers off and connect more with the soul of us. We often see many of the sign posts as “danger, bad, you are going the wrong way”..... THIS ISN'T THE TRUTH! When many of us are in the thick of it we aren't able to always see the sign posts clearly. Our nervous system may be highly activated and we think run, when really we are exactly where we are meant to be. One of the biggest sign posts is confusion. Confusion is a beautiful place to be in. It is a place that brings the possibilities of deeper questioning. A place where we can throw up our hands and just sit and be. If we let it, it can be a place of deep surrender. Confusion doesn't mean we won't ever know, it simply means we don't know right now. It is a sign post of pause; an invitation to dive in deeper and listen. So many of us look at this sign post and think, “Oh man I have done it wrong, I am in the wrong place, I am not good enough, I will never get there and all the rest” So many of us also see this sign post and try to THINK our way out of it. We can make the lists and will the answers but at the end of the day this isn't really the medicine that is being presented. You may be missing the medicine of the pause, the inner connection and deep knowing that is possible in the pause the confusion is asking of you. When confusion sets it to me it means that a big shift is coming. It is that moment of deeper surrender and stillness...NOT a time to spin and spin and spin. In this podcast I lead you into the FEELING of confusion inside of you as an experience of energy. If you are interested in hearing more about the services that I offer head over to soulmidwifejulie.com

What does a life that is full of magic feel like...possibility, creation, being present to actually see things, following the natural flow of life and all of the magic and nature that is here guiding us if we just stop resisting it and actually step into it. It is releasing the control, not conjuring up spells to control but to create rather than control. To create and then to let go of the outcome...whew that is a lesson to learn over and over again. So what happens when you step into that magic, that flow, that divine feminine energy? Life is lived and in much deeper presence and connection. Simple and sweet. It gets less complicated, there is less thinking, there is less planning, there is more ease, appreciation and opening for all that is. There is also more presence in the feeling of what it is to be a human and all that comes up. To create more we need to Be more. To be in our heart space to be in our cauldron or our womb space. A past self of me, 10 years ago would have thought the person writing this was crazy...truly. But I have experienced this inner world. I have been drawn deeper and deeper into the energy that we actually are and experienced that. I have said yes to letting go of the planning of the control that I am really good at but also made me sick. I have said yes to reconnecting with my own divine feminine part of me and valuing it because it is just as beautiful and valuable as the masculine. We are both and not always in equal parts but I am sure we all know that some where along the line the collective we decided that the feminine aspects were to be controlled to be devalued and put in one place. It is super prevalent right now to blame the patriarchy for all the things. In my college years I was all about that and I think for many this is part of the process. I am now in the space of personal responsibility for my own life and how I show up in it and create it. To show up to my own value and to show up to the world in that value. Same world out there but different me inside equals different experience of this world. Massive shift! Enjoy this podcast and let me know what possibilities you are creating.

"If we boil it down we keep fixing ourselves in the hopes that we can finally, just be as we actually are" In this podcast I cover the art of fixing and how it keeps us "othering" and disconnected from ourselves and others, so that we always are striving to be someone else and hoping for the day when we arrive and can just be. How can we simply be us and what is the true experience of self love. How can we be more HUMAN and allow ourselves to BE with our “warts” to be WHOLE? The podcast starts with a discussion around fear, anger, anxiety and confusion and how these "bad" emotions swirl inside us and act as fuel for disconnection, hopelessness and hate. When we show up to these feelings that are so prevalent inside us and in the larger collective we can use the emotions for what they are; information for our own awareness and healing. We can start gaining more personal power and connection through the wisdom of our emotions.

This is a great podcast episode for those looking not be perfect but rather to show up and experience life as a transformational experience . In this episode Julie explores the Personal Power and opportunity for true transformation and mastery that comes from taking personal responsibility. She also speaks to the how and why so many of us don't do this and how it impacts our lives. The evolution that occurs when you show up and step into your own personal responsibility for how you show up in your life and the actions that you do and don't take are so incredibly powerful. Often times we can sit in relationships, jobs or interactions with the outside world where we have some bitterness, some anger, some blame, some shame etc. We point the finger at how the world out there is causing all of the pain in here. Or we may try and "control" how we show up to others so that we will be loved, liked, accepted. We may not even be aware of these patterns. Once we become aware we are able to see how powerful we are when we take the personal responsibility for our own actions or inaction in a relationship, in creating our life and we are able to step into that deeper sense of personal power. The path isn't always easy, sometimes it is in fact full of big intense emotions that need to be felt as we evolve and let ourselves step into the person we are becoming. Transformation is full of twists and turns and "growing pains" as we expand and become more able to step into greater capacity to love ourselves and others, to step into our wholeness and to actually feel alive. When we step into our power we are able to transform and evolve ourselves and naturally the things around us begin to align with that. Our relationships become more meaningful as our needs are said. Our place in the world becomes more aligned as we truly show up to what is alignment with our heart space.

It's time to tune inside and create a REVOLUTION of our Inner World! Our experiences and realities only evolve when we do. It's time to stop looking outside ourselves for some magic pill, something out there to help us evolve what is inside. It's time to align to what our actual values are, to show up to our inner space and often, to create space and to create external realities that match. You don't need permission to evolve to change and show up for a revolution of your inner world; you just need to actually show up to it!

Stop Working on Yourself and Start Showing Up You don't need to be fixed. You don't need to be worked on. What if instead of working on ourselves we simply... show up? For sometime I have wanted to shift this language around, Im working on myself or that aspect of myself as it just didn't fit, the language didn't resonate. One day I realized oh...it's show up. The language is show up. When we work on ourselves there is this idea of "fixing myself" as if you am broken, that something is wrong with you. You begin to fragment and "other" parts of yourself. You feel disconnected and not whole. Working on yourself seems like something you do rather than a space that you occupy. When you show up you get curious, unattached, witness, FEEL and surrender to what it is. We get to dig deeper, to experience more, to show up. Eventually there comes a point to express this either via dialogue with a partner, art work, a walk and talk with a friend, moaning, yelling, dancing etc. Things naturally begin to shift when this happens. Showing up to seems like a very natural thing to do where as working on seems like a very structured and another way of really controlling the situation. Like we don't like this part of us so we must make it better. Showing up doesn't require us to do much and yet requires us to be so much with. To truly shift that from the inside out. To truly embrace that rage, to truly embrace your jealousy or even something like always being late or “lazy”. When we show up to this we hear the natural voice of wisdom, our soul begins to speak it's whys, when we show up we feel that feeling and allow it to be exactly as it is... this allows us to recognize our wholeness. So slow down and show up. Create the space outside for your inside and connect within. This leads to your whole. This leads to your peace. This is your anchor no matter what is occurring outside keep coming back in over and over.

This podcast is both a "chat" on priorities of the heart as well as an experience "Deep Drink" heart activation, guided meditation. So often we get caught up in the priorities of the material outer world, in what we think we should be and do and forget to listen into the wisdom of the heart. We get disconnected with what the dance of our life feels life if we stopped trying to control it and let our hair get messy and our bodies begin to move to the figuartive rhythm of our lives. What happens when we step into this heart space and get out of our head? How much more space is created by being more connected? How much more love can we generate inside ourself and for others and how can one small thing like going inside and meeting our heart space lead to such epic space and soul connection.

On Midlife and Stepping into Your Soul Self As we naturally go through the growth and change that is necessary in mid life we can feel things come up like: *Fear (of change, of growth, of death and rebirth) *Wondering if we are “crazy” or just hormonal *Have people say to us that we aren't the person they thought we were. We can get stuck in the idea of what everyone thinks of us We can get stuck in the fear of change We can get stuck in the flight and fight of our fast paced world and not allow ourselves to sink into and discover who we are becoming This is where the idea of mid life crisis enters...we stay stuck. What if: Midlife is the BECOMING Midlife is the Stepping DEEPER into connection with our soul self. Then we experience it as an AWAKENING. We may have to shed some old skin. We need to get quiet and connect with the person we are, deep down and allow ourselves to be courageous enough to let this person be seen and heard. This podcast talks about all this and more. I also give you some “steps” to begin this exploration of steeping deeper into your soul self!

The podcast weaves the story of my own experience with some deep and profound growth that occurred over the past week from an illness accompanied by a migraine. My own experience with dropping into the deepest presence that I have so far experienced out side of the realm of birth and what I discovered, uncovered and seeded in this space and how this isn't just my story but our story. This is not a story or a space that I found that is unique to me. It is available to all of us. After the story I offer HOW TO DROP INTO DEEPER OR EMBODY PRESENCE! Enjoy.

What I see happen in women is that we often end up in this box. We didn't plan to be in this box and we don't often even see that we are there, it just happens as life unfolds and we sort of “lose ourselves” in service of showing up for others and how we think we are suppose to be. We end up living a life that feels, well… “FINE”. We live a life that feels FULL as in BUSY or going through the motions but not SOUL FULL. At some point along the way normally in the mid life part of life (40's) we see that is no longer going to work for us and things begin to wake up inside. Normally it's big emotions and possibly physical “female complaints'. We no longer fit in this box any more and our soul really begins to start stirring inside us, it isn't always recognized as that though...it is often pushed off as a mid life crisis. To me it is that mid life awakening that moment, that time period to really AWAKEN to your inner self, to align your life from the inside out. Sometimes this process is messy. We often want something to jump to a new identity or version of us already there, a new job waiting, a new relationship that fits better and we don't want to “do the work”, go through the break down to reclaim and rebuild. This podcast talks about what this feels/looks like for us to step deeper into this journey of adventure! To connect with Julie you can find her at soulmidwifejulie.com

What could it possibly feel like to have a deeper relationship with your body? One where you aren't trying to control it but actually occupying it? What if you let your body be your guide? What does this actually mean to you? What does being embodied actually feel like and how do you access it? This podcast answers all these questions and more. This podcast takes the listener on a tour of: *How the heck we have become so disconnected from our bodies (ever wondered how you got from point a to b while driving or just felt on autopilot) *How this creates a space within of disconnection & disease *Some "how to's" that you can try today It's one thing to hear the term embodiment and get it with your head and quite another thing to actually be “embodied”!

A grounding, spacious and connecting meditation. Is meditating “hard”, “foreign”, to woo woo or spiritual for you? Is slowing down and turning in challenging? Do you have judgements and/or ideas around what a guided meditation is? I hear this often. In fact I used to hear these judgemental thoughts it in my own head for many years. Yet there has always been a big bright piece of me inside that has gravitated and sought out things and my innate curious and adventurous nature has pushed me to try them and EXPERIENCE IS ALWAYS THE BEST GUIDE My invitation to all of you is to check out this podcast and let your experience be your guide. Tell me how it goes! To work with me head over to my website soulmidwifejulie.com

Sometimes we have to come apart to come back together. This is the work of the 40's and early 50's Speaking and living from your heart and soul is scary at first.  For the vast majority of us, it means that we have to let go of or let a part of us die.  We have to sift through and have a real awakening of what was us, what we picked up unconsciously were programmed with along the way and who we actually are at the soul level.  Then we have to be brave to step up into that space and actually live from there. I see this happening all around me and frankly all inside of me. I have resistance too.   Will I be labeled/othered Will I be liked Will I be loved by my family of origin Will I be understood Will I be burned. This week the stories that have weaved themselves through in my life have been all about this.   This reckoning this longing for and connection to something deeper. What does the longing feel like….like there is a part of you that you want to touch, that you want to give space to grow, that aches for attention and yet there is also a knowing somewhere deep inside you of what it will bring about.  The chaos and death so to speak that will ensue. When we don't entertain and listen to this longing we often get a crisis moment.  This week's podcast weaves the stories of women that I have come across as well as my own that are traversing this space and allowing this soul piece to grow inside.

Change Happens! It may be one of the only things that all humans actually agree upon nowadays. We are all faced with change inside and out in our lives. Some of this change is small and we don't think much about it and some of it causes us to resist, run, hide and ignore. Whatever you are resisting; it is not going to go away until you embrace it! It will just keep coming back in some way shape or another. It will keep you awake, it will mask itself as anxiety, it will cause you outburst of emotions...it won't go away. Resistance is ultimately fear: -A fear of change -A fear of death (a death of something...a relationship, a habit, a job, an aspect of yourself) -A fear of the unknown -A fear of how powerful you are I want to honor that sometimes change is super uncomfortable and we hide from and resist it; I am raising my hand right here and now for you all to see! However, resistance is just ignoring or denying the feeling of something that needs to be moved through you. So often we aren't really aware that we are in resistance mode. So how can you tell if you are there? Are you in resistance? -Are you ignoring your feelings -Are you distracting yourself -Are you denying something that is directly in front of you. So back to the fact that change is a part of life and it will happen, whether we kick, scream and drag our feet or we give in, trust, embrace and move through. Can you stop and bring awareness to the resistance? What does it mean and how do you embrace your resistance? Check out this podcast to hear more. Find me over at soulmidwifejulie.com

We need to breath,  We need to poop, We need to eat, We need to drink, We need to feel emotions Where the heck in our culture did we learn that emotions are bad?That being vulnerable is weak? What the heck happened in culture to think that we could think our way through life and control the body (and all the other things we try and control) as if we were a walking brain disconnected from the rest? How the heck did we get so disconnected and why don't we see how damaging this is to our bodies, minds and souls! This episode goes through three experiences that I had this week that all weaved the lesson of vulnerability and feeling emotions and how these are scary, labeled as "bad", not to be felt and all the rest. The three stories that I share are real life examples of how disconnected and misaligned  we can feel in our body, mind and spirit when we constantly wear our "mask" so to speak.  When we don't allow ourselves to be authentic, vulnerable and feel our emotions. Do you run away from your emotions?   Do you bottle them up?  Do you ignore them and clench them in? This episode posses the questions, Is being vulnerable weak? Can we find strength and even power by being vulnerable? Can we find wholeness by being in our body and FEELING our emotions, by slowing down and stepping within? In the values of this culture as a whole these are pretty revolutionary ideas and actions! If you would like to check out my work please visit soulmidwifejulie.com

One of the only things that I am totally and completely sure about in life is that it is in constant change! The less we resist that change and begin to step into the flow of it the more full it can feel. It requires that we get out of our way…which can be really freaking hard and that we slow down enough to listen to the change stirring within…also can be really hard. This episode is all about my own change in of course what I am calling myself/my branding, Soul Midwife. But more importantly this is a conversation about my own shift and how I am stepping up into greater and more aligned service for those who feel called to work with me. I share a bit about what this will look like in podcast form in this episode AND I do a little story time of my own journey. I believe that so much can be learned and gained from hearing others stories and recognizing ourselves and feeling seen. I talk about things that are unique to my story but also not very unique at all: Where does our value lie as women...is it in the hats you where or somewhere else? What happens when you remove all your hats.  WHO ARE YOU THEN? Who are you as a woman without all the things that you do and when you allow yourself to be….what are you left with? I talk about the catalyst for my growth over 7 years ago, as a women who feels WHOLE, POWERFUL and CONTENT in my body. What does accepting and loving yourself look like? Moving through survival, anxiety, ideas on who I was suppose to be and stepping into who I actually am.   I hope you enjoy this podcast and I am super excited to get back into recording them regularly again!

I haven't been taking my medicine lately, have you? Last week I had this big realization.  Oh, wow I have been forgetting to take care of my WHOLE self; and everything is suffering! I have been feeling really contracted lately.  The season of fall offers that.  The medicine is asking us to engage in a process of a big purge and rearranging of areas of life that aren't working.  This needs to happen for inner winter nourishment. The part of the leaves falling means things have to FALL!  They have to fall down to be seen, to be looked at and to be held in some light. This podcast uncovers the medicine of fall and how to take our medicine!

5 Million Plus Women live PCOS 1 in 10 Million Woman have Endometriosis 15% of Adolescent Girls are on the Birth Control Pill for "Period Issues" 1 in 3 Women Have Fibroids This is what happens when our natural seasons start to fail! Far to many of us feel ashamed to talk about puberty, perimenopause, periods or our body parts! We think that our life cycle seasons are all based on physical symptoms that we may need to manage and control. What if it is so much deeper than that? What if there is so much more POWER found in these different life cycle seasons and our lack of wisdom, knowledge passed down and connection with them is really harming us? Why are are seasons failing and what are we going to do about it? This episode explores what the natural seasons of life look like from a mind/body/spirit standpoint and how rites of passage can be catalyst for change and going through these transition periods feeling whole.

In this episode we dive into feelings and how they contain wisdom and opportunities for feeling WHOLE, alive and fully connected and powerful. Most of us label feelings as good and bad. Those we want strive towards and those we want to ignore, push away, numb. This leaves us to feeling fragmented. Our feelings don't need us to ignore them, they don't need us to push them away, they aren't crazy or a result of your hormones...they are asking to be seen and truly felt. Just like a child who is trying to get your attention they will get louder and louder until you see them! Sometimes they are really loud, overwhelming and “too much” because they have been ignored for so long! Those bad feelings: anger, guilt, anxiety they are there for GOOD REASONS, they are wise. When we step into awareness and let them be there they will show us a path towards transformation. So how do we “be” with our emotions or embody our emotions to allow them to show us their wisdom? Listen to the podcast to find out the 5 “Steps” towards embodied feelings for a WHOLE, ALIVE and POWERFUL inner and outer world.

If you want different results you will never get them doing the same thing you are doing over and over, you have to take different actions to get different results. Humans are creatures of habit. It is built in our very brain chemistry and make up. It can be a really positive thing when our habits are aligned and full filling. However, many of us have areas or characteristics about ourselves that we stick with because they are comfortably uncomfortable. For many of us we crave things to be different. Maybe we don't like our job, our relationship is not as fulllfilling as we know it can be, we don't like the way we feel in our body or maybe we have an emotion that we really struggle with. We have lots of stories on why things can't be different, we have fear and real life circumstances. So how can things instantaneously change? Is that possible? YES! WE MUST INTERRUPT THE CYCLE! This podcast teaches you the simple and immediate ways to do that to create greater alignment, fulfillment and joy in your life.

This podcast is going to be an exploratory podcast of our human bodies-focused on females. My intention for this episode is to help name why so many of us don't have a connection to our bodies and to ask a bunch of what if questions to help us find more curiosity and deepen both our knowledge of and connection to our bodies. It is more common than not for females to have little knowledge of or connection to their bodies. Many feel that the femaleness of their bodies is "a curse at worse or annoying at best" This episode questions many of the routine ways that females connect with and interact with our bodies and asks if there is another way. Is there an evolution that needs to happen for us to become more in touch with our real humanity on a basic body level and to stop controlling everything and living in our mind. How would this look and what could it lead to inside of you and culturally? To find out more about Julie's work visit thelifecyclelady.com
