What It Really Means To Live An Empowered & Embodied Life
Join Kim Romain and Louise Neil on the first episode of "The Empowered & Embodied Show" (formerly "Kickass Career Conversations")! In this episode, we explore the themes of empowerment and embodiment, sharing personal stories and insights on self-care, personal growth, and the journey of reclaiming one's power. We discuss the rebranding of our podcast, the importance of being present, and the messy nature of self-discovery. The conversation emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their inner sparks and navigate their journeys with authenticity and intention.
"Reclaiming empowerment for me started with wanting more than just a 'fine' life." - Louise Neil
"Societal norms equate intelligence with mental prowess, but true wisdom comes from listening to our body's experiences." - Kim Romain
Key Takeaways:
- Reclaiming Empowerment: Empowerment starts with reclaiming control of our lives and making intentional choices. It's about recognizing a desire for more than just a “fine” life and following sparks of interest to create meaningful change.
- Embodiment Over Mind-Centric Focus: Bring balance by fostering a deeper relationship with your body. Practices like meditation, visualization, breath work, and body work can assist in truly connecting with our physical experiences, integrating body wisdom alongside mental prowess.
- Vulnerability and Honesty: Personal journeys of empowerment and embodiment are often messy and filled with continuous self-experimentation. Embrace the messiness, and be honest about not having everything figured out.
