Have you ever found yourself wanting to do something, but kept procrastinating? Then, out of the blue, an opportunity arises that reminds you and gives you the nudge you needed to take action. Today's episode is inspired by those subtle signs from the Universe that push us toward our goals and dreams. I am also announcing a new Viben with Jen dance break series. Stay tuned for more details.

Have you truly let go of your anger, resentment, or frustration, or are you still holding onto them?

In this talk, we'll explore whether you've genuinely processed your emotions or merely buried them deep inside.

I'll share personal examples, including a story about my own child who tried to think his way through emotions instead of feeling them. Our bodies keep score, and unprocessed emotions can hold us back.

Discover the importance of feeling and releasing these emotions and examine what you are tolerating in your personal and professional life.

Key Points:

• Understand the impact of unprocessed emotions
• Learn how to truly release anger and frustration
• Recognize what you're tolerating and why
• Embrace and give voice to your feelings for genuine healing and growth

Have you really let go of your anger, resentment or frustration or are you still holding onto it?

Do you think you have already processed your angry feelings, but really just shoved them inside?

The body keeps score. We must allow ourselves to feel and release. What are you tolerating in your personal life or your business right now?

I invite you to befriend your feelings and let them have a voice, as they are part of you.

In this episode we delve into the liberating journey of surrendering control and embracing the flow of life. We discuss the importance of letting go of attachment, releasing resistance, and trusting in the wisdom of the universe.

There is more power in surrender than in trying to control the outcome. By learning secrets to train your nervous system to feel more comfortable with surrender and presence, you can bring this sense of ease and mindfulness into all aspects of your life.

Early this Jan, I challenged myself to practice what I preach daily. I know the power of this work and yet, there were times I took it for granted.

I am proud to share that after 100 days of consistent embodiment practices I have experienced expansive growth in my life and my business.

If you want to know what consistency and/or dance can do for you daily, listen in as I share more details about this journey.

In this episode, I delve into a poignant encounter during a recent dance experience that offered me a profound perspective shift regarding my sons.

Reflecting on the adage "walk in someone else's shoes," I found myself deeply connecting with a young man, prompting a newfound understanding of my own boys.

It's challenging to articulate the depth of emotion I experienced, but it undeniably altered my perception of my own adult children.

I have never had a man look at me with eyes of intense passion as I did. Being seen is an understatement. This was not about physical advances. It was deep healing of feminine wounding. A mirror of seeing the power in each other.

It was an exchange of power. Tears hearing the cries of the masculine. Tears understanding the depths of another's pain.Tears in releasing the protective shields of the feminine.

And knowing it's not about power over. It's about power thru and power for. My heart is cracked open.It's about the power of love.

In this episode, I channel my anger and frustration as a source of motivation. I candidly discuss my exasperation with social media platforms for hindering me from sharing a topic I am deeply passionate about.

It's perplexing how society readily accepts discussions on divorce, alcoholism, financial struggles, making money, losing money, emotional abuse, being vulnerable in our stories, yet a mere three-letter word can trigger censorship.

Initially, I was consumed by fury at this injustice. And then made a decision. I am not going to give social media the power over me. I am going to use this story to my advantage and use it to provide more education on this very important topic.

In this episode we talk about an issue that many women face, but don't really talk about. That libido or sex drive that seems to disappear or fade away.

We talk about some of the symptoms of what happens when you no longer have an active libido and the impact it has on your relationships, business, money and other aspects of your life.

This topic impacts so much more than you initially think. It is actually the secret sauce that helps you live a turned on life.

In this episode I share a story from the first time I meditated and experienced a profound moment of inspiration. As I reflected on a book about connecting with departed loved ones, the image of my grandfather came to mind with a simple yet powerful message: "Forgive and let go."

This message inspired me to write my very first song, focusing on the importance of forgiveness. Last week, I made a declaration I was going to sing more publicly and felt compelled to share this story and song with you.

Having a relationship with your body and your sensuality is critical in the growth and healing process. If you really want to experience deep levels of epic love, you must connect with your body and your sensuality as a woman.
In this episode we explore:

• Embracing your sensuality for self-love and empowerment.
• Overcoming societal pressures and expectations to reconnect with your true self.
• Techniques for cultivating a deeper connection with your body
• Navigating the journey and reclaiming your power.
• Strategies for incorporating sensuality into your daily life
  

Listen in to gain additional insights and wisdom on your journey to self-love.

In this episode, we delve into the transformative power of collaboration over competition. I recount personal experiences that have shattered limiting beliefs of inadequacy, allowing me to embrace my own gifts while honoring those of others. It's about recognizing that we don't need to have all the answers; by focusing on our strengths and allowing others to shine in theirs, true magic unfolds.

In this episode we talk about unblocking stuck emotions and how important it is to feel and release rather than store or wallow in our feelings. You can use movement and embodiment practices to move energy through the body.

♦   struggle with self-sabotage 

♦   stuck or trapped in self-sacrifice

♦   pain, agony or discomfort

In this episode, I delve into the profound essence of the Divine Feminine and the significance of the role models bestowed upon us. Drawing from personal experiences, I shed light on the disparity between the portrayal of Mother Mary in the Catholic church and the deeper intentions underlying her archetype.

Join me as I unravel the true essence of these sacred figures and offer insights into reclaiming their wisdom for our own spiritual journey.

In this Episode I discuss about how all of the social media press about Taylor Swift inspired this podcast. When we think about relationships and what a strong confident successful woman is looking for; it's that she just wants a soft place to fall.

Tune into to listen to the story that inspired the topic as well as deeper insights on what women are really searching for when we want a soft place to land.

"The Power of The Jade Egg" podcast delves into the ancient practice of using jade eggs for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. From its ancient origins to its modern resurgence, we explore the significance of the jade egg and its benefits.

Join us as we uncover the secrets, myths, and science behind this intriguing practice and learn how it might enhance your life.

In this episode, I delve into the transformative power of Masculine and Feminine Energy, emphasizing the mutual need for both to overcome patriarchal conditioning and achieve holistic healing.

Following my divorce, so many people said, "You don't need a man. You are a strong independent woman." While this is undoubtedly true, I recognized a crucial aspect – the need to step out of the constant masculine mode dominating my life. Despite the upbringing that encouraged pursuing goals aggressively, I came to realize that relentless pursuit of success can come at the expense of our health and relationships.

I share insights from my personal healing journey, emphasizing the importance of a balanced approach. It's a combination of self-work and being in the company of men who create a safe space for embracing femininity. These men play a role in holding a sacred container, allowing for healing and growth.

The episode underscores the collaborative nature of healing, asserting that men and women need each other in this journey. It's not about dependency or completion, but rather about creating a space for mutual support, enabling each of us to delve deeper into our own growth and healing.

The ultimate goal is to learn how to feel truly ALIVE. Happiness is different from the profound sense of being alive – a state where one loves life, feels the energy coursing through their veins, and is deeply in love with the world. It's a call to transcend mere contentment and embrace a vibrant and fulfilling existence.

In this episode, I delve into my beliefs and stories surrounding love and marriage, emphasizing that I didn't want a marriage like my parents. While I cherish my parents and acknowledge them as amazing people, they didn't provide me with the guidance on what constitutes a healthy marriage.
​
Growing up, I internalized the notion of sacrificing oneself for love, giving up personal identity for the sake of a partner. This often led to unhappiness in relationships. During my second pregnancy, I discovered the Marriage Encounter community, which injected new life into my understanding of a thriving marriage. I absorbed lessons from them, although I realized I was somewhat numb to my own identity.
​
Facing the decision of whether to get divorced was incredibly challenging and felt like I was wearing the Scarlet Letter A. I questioned myself, wondering what more I needed to do for a better relationship. 

​I recount holding my father's hand during his final moments and express the desire for a partner to stand by each other through thick and thin. I harbor no resentment towards my mother for how she handled grief, but I aspire to a partnership where we support each other in all circumstances.
​
The crux of my message is that cultivating a better relationship with a partner starts with fostering a better relationship with oneself. By giving oneself the love, affection, and attention sought from others, we become beacons of light for the world. It's a journey of personal growth and healing that extends healing to everyone around us – partners, children, and parents alike.

In this episode, we delve into the impact of patriarchal, societal, familial, and religious conditioning on our lives, hindering us from claiming our true potential. The reality is that we weren't educated on our divine greatness, the essence of womanhood, and the power of our feminine energy. We were taught to emulate men, striving for strength and confidence, but this obscured the authentic truth of our womanhood.

Join me in unraveling the lies surrounding sexuality, desire, the body, feminine energy, power, and worth, fostering awareness to reclaim your life and unlock the fullness of your potential. Whether you're a business owner aiming for financial growth or seeking personal fulfillment, understanding these deeper aspects is essential for realizing your true desires.

Are you prepared for a transformative experience? In the upcoming episode, I reflect on the insights gained in 2023. My chosen word for the year was "Courage," and for December, it was "Breakthrough."

I not only select a word for the entire year but also choose a specific word for each month. This practice helps me attract more of what I desire by embracing the lessons of a new word monthly. I find value in reflecting on the OPPOSITE of the chosen word, as it adds a deeper layer of meaning to the lessons embedded in that word.

COURAGEDefinition: The ability to do something that frightens one.

COWARDOpposite: A person who lacks courage in facing danger, difficulty, opposition, pain, etc.; a timid or easily intimidated person.

While acknowledging that it takes courage to take inspired actions, contemplating the opposite definition serves as motivation. I don't want to be perceived as a coward—someone who procrastinates and settles for less due to fear of taking action.

BREAKTHROUGHDefinition: A sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development.

SETBACKOpposite: An event that delays your progress or reverses some of the progress that you have made.

I delve into the breakthroughs I encountered, particularly regarding comfort zones, in the past month. Instead of criticizing myself, I observe the patterns influencing my decisions and choose to shift them, making new, empowering choices.

It all starts with a choice. What will you choose for yourself in the coming year? Schedule a Desire Map session, and together we'll craft your Intentional Desire Map for 2024.

In this episode, we explore the liberating concept of being "too much" and how it serves as a transformative journey towards self-discovery and authenticity. Society's conditioning often induces guilt for living wholeheartedly, portraying it as boastful or arrogant, when, in reality, it's about embracing an authentically lived life and providing a model for others to do the same.

Drawing from personal experiences, I share anecdotes from my growth journey, where reactions to my openness have varied. Some find inspiration, saying, "You are inspiring to me; your journey shows me what's possible." Conversely, others criticize, claiming I'm selfish or talk too much about myself, raising doubts in who I am. Witnessing others revel in their lives can trigger jealousy, which, in truth, signals unmet desires. It serves as a reminder that you too crave more for your life, urging you to break free from the fear of being labeled "too much" and to fully express and celebrate the real you.

Embracing the "too much" label empowers us to live authentically, valuing the diversity of emotions, ideas, and desires that make us uniquely beautiful. It prompts us to cast off societal expectations that stifle our true selves, enabling us to confidently step into a world where our "too muchness" becomes a beacon of authenticity and a source of personal empowerment.

In this episode, we explore the multifaceted power of pleasure, recognizing it not only as a source of bliss and orgasm but also as a tool for healing and purification.

Additionally, we delve into the transformative potential of experiencing growth through both pain and pleasure. Being in a state of pleasure allows you to be open to receiving without blocking the natural flow.

In this episode, I tackle a question that arose years ago when I questioned the success of my business. I admitted that I couldn't openly discuss sexuality in corporate America, feeling pressured to "dumb down" my message for comfort. This highlights the very problem I aim to address—shying away from essential discussions about sexuality. It's a topic all women should engage with, impacting corporate success, entrepreneurial ventures, and relationships.
​​Despite its taboo nature, a woman's power lies within her sexuality. Shifting focus to healing this aspect can lead to transformative changes, not just in self-perception but in overall presence and performance. Positive affirmations alone can't erase deep-seated shame, guilt, or embarrassment; connecting with pleasure and sensual intelligence is crucial. Tune into this episode for a deeper understanding of what it means to connect with your sexuality, pleasure, and sensual intelligence.

In this episode, I delve into the concept of comfort zones. How frequently do we find ourselves immobilized by fear, preventing us from taking action? The unknown can be daunting, and we often crave a sense of security and a clear plan of what lies ahead.
However, it's crucial to recognize that it's not our responsibility to figure out the "how." Our role is to express our desires, and it's the universe's role to determine the "how." Yet, many of us stop ourselves from the wonders that await on the other side of uncertainty. Listen in to hear more on how your comfort zone might be your danger zone.

In this episode I share some insights from my recent trip to Italy. To be honest, I could create a whole series of lessons from this trip. However, I was inspired by something that happened after I returned home and started reintegrating into daily life again. I felt it was a powerful lesson that all of us could learn from.

In this episode, we delve into the profound transformation that comes with letting go of control and embracing the liberating power of surrender. We ponder the reasons behind our inherent fear of relinquishing control and the relentless urge to prove ourselves right. But what if the answer to our growth and happiness lies in surrendering and trusting the unfolding process?

It's crucial to understand that surrender does not equate to giving up our power. On the contrary, when we surrender, we are firmly in our power, allowing a higher source to provide for us. It's about creating the space for the best and highest to effortlessly find us.

We also explore the incredible power and intention behind the orgasm. It's not just a physical release; it's a profound lesson in letting go. Many women struggle with issues related to control and a craving for certainty. Orgasm, through its beautiful release, offers an invaluable opportunity to practice the art of letting go. This is one of the reasons why sacred sexuality is so significant. Our pleasure is a precious gift that can teach us the art of release, enabling us to infuse the magic of letting go into every aspect of our lives.

In this episode we celebrate the 1 Year Anniversary of The Sensual Feminine Life Podcast as well as the importance of celebrating yourself everyday. I share 3 tips from BJ Fogg's book Tiny Habits and the power of Celebration. I also share how important it is to celebrate not just your accomplishments and what you do, but rather also WHO YOU ARE. You are beautiful and gorgeous just as you are. There is so much power in celebrating yourself. Watch the magnetism expand when you focus on bragging and celebrating even the smallest of your accomplishments. I would love to hear what you are celebrating today.

In this episode we talk about overcoming bad mom syndrome. As moms, we want the best for our kids. We don't want them to make the same mistakes we made. We set unrealistic expectations for ourselves as mom's that we have to DO IT ALL. How do you keep the flame alive when you have parental burnout?

If you are carrying "bad mom guilt", they can feel it. It is not our job to save, fix or rescue our kids or our partners. When you take time for self-care, you are able to focus on you and your desires and fuel yourself from within. This is not just for you; it is for your kids too. When you lead with desire, they feel the difference in your energy. They feel the space and independence you give them to make decisions on their own.

Celebrating Episode 50, where we recorded and streamed live from facebook. We will figure out technical glitches later, but you got to love when a dear friend, challenges you to do new technology stuff on the fly. So I went for it and said yes.

Listen to a lively episode of the secret sauce to happiness. We talk about what we learned as a child about our bodies, getting our periods and how it creates an imprint in our psyche. We also opened up dialogue on how it is so taboo to talk about sex. We have two ends of the spectrum; pornography or don't talk about it. And how important it is for us to create a safe and healthy space to talk about and create more education around sacred sexuality.

If you want to laugh, smile and have a good time, listen in to this lively discussion where Anita and Jen share their authentic thoughts and insights so that others can begin to feel more comfortable knowing that they are not alone in learning more about this powerful and important taboo topic.

In this episode we talk about the difference between Expectation vs. EXPECTATION.  How often do we find ourselves with high expectations and feel disappointed when things don't go quite as planned?
We have a desire, we manifest, we put in the work, we think we did all the right things and yet the results turn out differently. We will dive deeper into the power of having an expectation and letting go of the attachment to the outcome as opposed to controlling the outcome.
When we EXPECT something, we try to control the situation. How many of you enjoy having "to-do" list so you can check off the boxes? This gives us a plan and direct feedback, however, many times we can tend to put an entire plan together of HOW to reach our goal.
It is our job to make the request and it is God's job to show us HOW.  Too many times we try to step in and take over the how and end up sabotaging the process that God has put into place.
When we have an energy of expectation, it is like a playful energy of anticipation leaving the outcome up to the Universe.  Listen in as we dive deeper into the power of expectation vs. EXPECTATION.

In this episode we talk about the power of orgasm and the radiance of the afterglow. Do you know why women like to wear blush on their cheeks? It is because it represents the same type of look and feel that a woman naturally gives off after orgasm.

Yes, when a woman experiences the bliss of pleasure and orgasm, she is radiant and has this afterglow. She has an energy about her that is lit up and magnetic. If you want to learn how to embrace and embody this kind of energy tune into to this weeks episode to learn more.

In this episode we talk about how our society is deprived of pleasure. How High achieving women are successful in certain parts of their lives, yet feel this "something missing". They are too busy doing, that they do not allow themselves to enjoy pleasure.

Pleasure is the antidote to the confidence crisis we have in the world. Something different happens when the body experiences pleasure over anything else. Let's dive in and talk about the important of pleasure, but also how you can bring MORE pleasure into your life.

In this episode we talk about the word performance. I share some highlights about my recent dance showcase which led me into reflecting on this word. We are taught at a young age to perform well. To do a good job in school. Our worth is measured by how well we perform and the grades that we get. They call them performance reports for a reason. We are always looking for that high score, for that validation that we met someone's expectations.

I reveal the true power and depth of performing vs. performance.
