Podcasts about fearless self

Are you asking yourself safe or dangerous questions? In this hot off the mic interview with Liam Bowler of The Body Awake podcast we dive deep into the process of curiosity and inquiry and how to know when it's time to act instead of freezing in analysis paralysis.  Listen in as I interview a fellow Montanan about his experience with practicing introspection as a pathway to self-love. This interview prompted me , almost immediately, to shift how I approach my reaction to suffering within myself.     Why it’s important to ask the dangerous questions Why to sit with suffering instead of trying to relieve it How to move from inquiry into action     Links Mentioned: Fearless Self-Love Retreat: www.fearlessselflove.com Dancing Spirit Ranch https://www.dancingspiritranch.com/workshops-retreats/ Brené Brown: The Daring Way https://thedaringway.org/ Email Andrea & Sara to sign up for the retreat bonus: hello@fearlessselflove.com The Body Awake http://www.thebodyawake.com/about/ Camp Kitchen where Andrea will be cooking www.ravenwoodolc.org   Liam’s interview with Kimberly Ann Johnson http://www.thebodyawake.com/#/kaj/ Liam’s Body Work practice https://dynamicalignmentbodywork.com/ Stephen Porgus Polyvagal Theory http://stephenporges.com/ Liam’s first  interview with Irene Lyon http://www.thebodyawake.com/#/se-irene/ Banksy http://banksy.co.uk/ Liam’s upcoming workshops http://www.thebodyawake.com/workshops/ Liam’s YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR1pE63MWey2Fq9QMCfiyRQ Show Highlights: 00:58 Fearless Self love Retreat Bonus Details 02:48 Easeful Living Practice ~ What questions are you asking yourself? 05:15 Interview with Liam Bowler begins, Liam helps folks understand their body’s intelligence as well as their educational needs 10:14 Dangerous Questions are the ones that might change your life.
