Respect + Love Yourself Through the Holidays — EP50

Design your Holidays the way you want them. To love yourself is to RESPECT yourself and your desires. In this podcast, I explore 8 embodied ways you can love yourself and design your holidays including your state of being, shifting out of autopilot and into the presence, intention, how to deal with feeling like you’re five years old again at a family function, loving your inner child, the permission to be unavailable and more. This is your life and holiday season.

Your Support Means So Much!

If The Embody Podcast, my writing, or guided healing meditations have inspired you, helped, or spoken to you, it would mean the world to me if you would show your support through a small donation.

Each creation is lovingly made from my soul and takes anywhere from weeks to a few days to develop and produce. I gladly pay an editor who supports me in polishing and creating high quality content.

As little as $2 help nourish my podcast and other creations to continue to have life and cover costs.

You can also take a look at my offerings which can deepen your embodiment on your own journey. Proceeds from those offerings also help me in the creation of more resources and material.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am so appreciative.
