Embodiment has been a HUGE part of what made motherhood doable. But many of us don't learn how to embody what we want. In this episode, Natalie Neckyfarow gleams some insight on what it looks like when you embody your future self, so you have the energy to live the life you dream of.
Why is embodiment so important? When we think of self-care, we think of it as outside of the messy chaos of our daily lives, but self-care is all about finding the time within the chaos to reclaim those moments in order to have the energy to live the life we desire. THIS IS EMBODIMENT.
What We Discuss with Natalie Neckyfarow:
Why embodiment is hard.
Why it’s important for moms to take care of themselves first.
How to find self-care within the chaos of your everyday life.
If you’re ready to experience empowered embodiment in real time you can join Natalie and I on May 16th (not the 15th, like I say in the episode!) you can join in at: IsabelleBridges.com/mentorconvo Please join Natalie's Self Love Party at https://www.cultivatingempathycoaching.com/self-love-party/

“The fear of being unseen is so wise because it motivates you to think about what you want more of.”These are just a few of the words that struck me in my conversation with Kate.In this 4-part series, Cultivate Village, we take a stand together to get real and practical about how we ensure you get the support you need, require and desire, and/or make different choices based on the resources you have. I've wanted to do an episode on maternal mental health for a while, but when I felt into what would really serve us, a deeper dive into you FEELING and BEING supported on all levels came through loud and clear. In my conversation with Kate Kripke we will explore and dive into some of the key strategies you need to actually show up in and grow in your life, including:
It is not weak to want to be seen and loved exactly as you are. Needing support is human.
It is a sign of strength to name the support you both desire and require. Give yourself permission to be tender.
To receive support you have to both NAME it and CLAIM it. This requires nervous system regulation.
Anger doesn't have to look scary, it can be empowering and motivating
We have more support than we think. Moments of connection turns on out parasympathetic nervous system.
Throughout the Cultivate Village series, we will create space for you to tune into ways to Cultivate Village so you can live empowered, from the inside out.
Big heart,
Isabelle

My heart is broken. I imagine yours is, too.
It can be hard to be present with all the pain and suffering that is happening in the world and in our own homes and lives.
At the same time, I know I came here to fully show up. To root all the way into my body, and into the Earth. To live EMPOWERED.
How do we become more open to love, and the very real pain that comes with it?
How do we act powerfully from our inner knowing, including claiming our pleasure, our rest, and our empowerment?
Inside each cell of our bodies lies a sleeping lotus. Like any seed, it can lie dormant, awaiting the proper conditions to blossom.
The lotus has its roots firmly planted in the mud. So my full hearted invitation to you, dear sister, is to take full responsibility for this one precious life you have been given, and to wake up in this incarnation. To rise up out of the mud.
The above statement is simple (I invite you to read it again, outloud), and takes a lifetime of courage to put into practice. Good thing we have exactly that… a lifetime!
As empowered women and mothers, we are here to accept the mess and limitation of human life, and to know that love is limitless.
The Mother’s Empowerment Show is here to offer you practical tools to help you breathe into that lotus.
It’s time!
