Body-Led Woman

Aurika Valan

Your body is not just wise, She is holy. The Body-Led Woman podcast is about living in communion with the innate intelligence of your female body in all realms of life: love, family, business, personal power, spirituality, money, healing. Here, grounded nervous system healing and expansion meets Spirit. The practical meets the mystical. The body, if you allow it, can become your initiatory path–and a living temple. This is a no-fluff sanctuary for the rebel, visionary, embodied women who long to stretch the edges of what's possible in life, to become liberated–but never at the expense of their bodies and their Deep Feminine. Join us for down-to-earth, paradigm-shifting, taboo conversations where we root in our power as women through descending into the womb, bleed, orgasm, deep emotion, and cyclical intelligence.

    76. The Thresholds of Womanhood: From Boss-Babe to Wife / Mother / Feminine Woman

    In this episode, we traverse the real depths of the metamorphosis women go through when the longing for love, marriage, devotion, and motherhood awakens–especially after years of being the high-achieving, ambitious, driven woman who built her identity around her success. Because when that longing arrives, it doesn't just add a new desire to your life…It often shatters identities. The "high-achiever / boss-babe identity" and the "wife/mother/woman identity" can feel like two tectonic plates colliding, creating grief, fear, anxiety, confusion… and a radical reordering of values and priorities. We explore why so many women are trying to rush, control, or think their way through this threshold—and why it doesn't work. Why the only way through is descent: below the mind, into the body, the nervous system, the womb, the erotic aliveness, the grief, the anger, the void. If you've built success… and yet your feminine heart is aching for something more–this episode is a warm embrace and an invitation to soften into what is true.   In this episode, we explore: Why the longing for marriage and motherhood can trigger an identity crisis (even in the most successful women) The hidden ways high-achieving women armor their hearts through hustling and over-functioning The "identity crisis" calling you forth to a different era when single Outgrowing your gender roles when in long-term partnership  The "tectonic plate" collision: CEO vs. wife/mother/woman Why "having it all" often comes with the fine print: you must also do it all How overcoming  the 50/50 dynamic, being the breadwinner, and provision conversations can become major initiations The real cost on your womanhood, intimacy, & health of spending years in productivity-first mode–from burnout to loss of sexual desire, emotional numbing or fertility challenges  Why mind-based work alone doesn't create lasting change–and why actual actual must encompass the nervous system   The sacred role of the holy void: the in-between space where the old dies and the new hasn't arrived yet Navigating the initiatory thresholds – the descents – as an embodied woman   Dive deeper into my world Join Holy Body – The Somatic Membership to release armor, rewire patterns, create a life where you get it to have it all–the devotional love, the thriving family, the wild wealth–in alignment with your body, womb, and femininity  Connect on Instagram: @aurikavalan Get my FREE Somatic Reset with 3 somatic practices to reset your relationships, business, and feminine aliveness

    74. Loving men in the Post-Feminist era & ending the battle of the sexes

    Welcome to the new era of the podcast – now known as Body-Led Woman. We live in a time where women are told to be hyper-independent and self-sufficient. A time where we're told we don't need men. But beneath the ambition, the independence, and the pressure to have it all together, there is often a deep hunger for love. A longing to be chosen, held, and adored. To feel safe to soften. → Join Receiving Him – the 7-day somatic immersion – become the woman who inspires his love and leadership – and knows how to receive it in her body and heart Yet because we've created a culture where women feel safer doing everything themselves, where the idea of worshipping your beloved feels radical AF. We want strong, grounded masculine men, but we also take up all the leading space. And then we feel disappointed when they're not rising to meet us in our power. So how do we love men in a world that is so wildly confused about love, men and women? In this episode, you'll hear the deeper reasons women push away the love they want and why surrendering to men feels so edgy. You'll learn how hyper-independence becomes a new cage that blocks intimacy. How do we love men in the post-feminist era and ending the quiet battle between the sexes that is exhausting us all? How do we honor our power, independence, ambition, and leadership without losing the capacity to surrender, soften, and open to devotional love? If your body has been aching for a new paradigm, if your heart has been whispering that there must be a way for men and women to rise together, this conversation is an invitation to rethink how we love, how we relate, and how we can co-empower each other.  HIGHLIGHTS: The truth about why modern dating feels so confusing (for both men and women). The hidden double bind men are facing today that no one talks about. The underlying wounded narratives shaping modern womanhood. How to become the kind of woman who inspires devotion and leadership in a man. The collective resentment towards men Ending the battle of the sexes Why loving men in the post-feminist era has become an act of rebellion. How "not needing men" becomes a new cage that blocks women from receiving love.   → Join Receiving Him – the 7-day somatic immersion – become the woman who inspires his love and leadership – and knows how to receive it in her body and heart

    72. Honoring the Goddess & reclaiming Her from the New Age

    Just like major religions have sought to erase the Goddess, the New Age has attempted to trivialize & commodify her.  I've been hiding in the closet about the relationship with the Goddess which was born through deep inquiry, mystical experiences, and the process of writing my book. Through devoting my heart to the Goddess, she guided me to go beyond surface-level connections with the feminine. She invited me to embody somatic work, deepening every part of my life—from my relationships, spirituality, and service to how I scale my coaching business through the lenses of feminine leadership. Through devoting my heart to the Goddess, she's guided not to just "connect with the Feminine" in some casual way, but actually lead my entire life–connection to self, love, business–from that deeply embodied, Goddess-attuned space. In this episode, I share my deeply personal journey with the Goddess—a relationship forged through spiritual discovery, somatic connection, and a profound commitment to honoring her guidance. I dive into what it means to connect with the Goddess in an authentic and embodied way, and how this relationship can guide female entrepreneurs toward living and leading in alignment with their deep feminine. Episode Highlights Why I've been hiding in the closet when it comes to the Goddess The commercialization of the Goddess in the New Age & the coaching industry How major religions & patriarchy sought to erase the feminine The Goddess doesn't care how many embodiment practices you know What the feminine is NOT Your body is a temple to the Goddess DIVE DEEPER INTO MY WORLD THE DESCENT → join the waitlist → 1-week somatic retreat & Rite of Passage into the holy void – let the old die, welcome the renewal & embody your new identity  Say hi to me on Insta and share how this episode impacted you

    71. How Your Business Initiates You Into the Woman You're Meant to Be

    How is your business trying to initiate you?  ❤️‍🔥PS, don't forget to the waitlist for THE DESCENT → a 1-week somatic retreat into the holy void – let the old die, welcome the renewal & embody your new identity  Over the last few weeks, I've been in a holy void. I had to slow down, pause, and descend into the underworld. This is the space where identity is shed, shadows are faced, until a new identity is ready to emerge. Your conscious business is a vessel through which you're meant to experience some of the biggest breakthroughs of your entire life. Every challenge in your business will highlight the places that need maturation and rebirth, so that you can become the woman you're meant to be. Your business is an alchemical process that highlights the parts of you that need growth, healing, and transformation. And when you honor this process, you'll unlock the creativity, clarity, and energy needed to create a soul-led business that feels deeply aligned. Embracing the void is not only fundamental to your growth as a female entrepreneur but also essential for building a body-led business rooted in authenticity and ease. The void is not something to fear but a gateway to creating a business that feels expansive, fulfilling, and alive. It's a messy yet transformative process of descent—the moments when you're called to slow down, let go of control, and surrender to stillness. If you've ever questioned your next steps, felt stuck in a coaching business, or struggled to find clarity in your launch strategies, know that you will find much guidance in the fertile void. Only if you fully surrender to it.  In this episode, I unpack how the natural cycles of death and rebirth show up in our businesses. I share how my own journey into the holy void helped me bridge the mystical and strategic aspects of my work, giving me the clarity and energy to serve as a deepened, matured leader.  HIGHLIGHTS: My story of entering the holy void Navigating the "messy-middle", the space in-between the old & the new When the mystical realm meets business strategy What are the feminine rites of passage? How to know you're being called to descend Why we can't rush or control the void How your business can become your greatest teacher and initiator How resistance to the holy void limits creativity, success, and fulfillment How is your business trying to initiate you?

    70. Why your nervous system doesn't feel safe with ease & spaciousness (and how to change that)

    We've all seen it: many coaching programs these days promise "ease," yet few incorporate somatic work, nervous system support, and a truly body-led business approach.  Yet what does ease really mean when our bodies and nervous systems are not prepared to receive it? If the cost of success is our nervous system health, peace of mind, quality of relationships, sexual polarity, and the freedom to spend time with loved ones, is this the cost you want to take?  Nourished and feminine leadership prioritizes success that comes with aliveness, love, spaciousness and peace. And somatic work helps you create sustainable business growth that is good both for your bank account and your peace. Whether you're launching a new coaching program or scaling your online course, integrating these practices is what is going to drive long-term, aligned success. While my work as a leader in the coaching industry brings immense joy and fulfillment, the truth is, it is not it at the end of the day… my heart is armored, my body is numb, or life is consumed with constant striving. True feminine energy in business requires nourishing practices that build nervous system capacity, encourage productivity without burnout, and support consistent MRR growth. In this episode, I dive into how our nervous systems often reject love, money, freedom, and success—especially when these come with ease—and how to navigate this challenge for consistent business growth, scaling for long-term results without sacrificing well-being.   HIGHLIGHTS:  Signs that your nervous system is calling for attention   Resolving the deeper unconscious beliefs in order to hold more wealth Why money has everything to do with somatic work Building a new identity for business success How we unconsciously sabotage our success The cost of the boss babe culture on our relationships Why prioritizing aliveness and love is good for your business   DIVE DEEPER INTO MY WORLD Holy Body –  somatic membership to grow your business, revolutionize your relationships and embody your power as a Whole Woman through the lenses of your nervous system FREE SOMATIC RESET QUIZ to discover which area in your life is needed a reset & get a somatic practice to nourish your biz, love life, or the woman at the center of it all Say hi to me on Insta

    69. Pleasure for feminine-led business, life & love

    [Join the free HOLY WOMAN Somatic Experience on 31st Oct here]   We've all heard it: "gotta work hard in order to deserve pleasure". But we've got this completely upside down. What the female body needs is pleasure before productivity.  The truth is, by the time we're done with work at the end of the day, many of us find we don't have the nervous system capacity to give our best energy to our partner, family and community. But what if you could feel alive and nourished before starting your work? What if you start treating pleasure not only as a reward, but a necessity? What if you ended your work day still feeling open, relaxed, resourced? There are many ways to create that, but pleasure is included in all of them😉 Cultivating pleasure is the supreme form of self care and is what supports you in replenishing your inner resources. It's available to you in e v e r y single moment of the day.   Pleasure is very fuel that creates vitality. And it is an invaluable "food" to restore and nourish your nervous system as you go about your day.  My prayer is that after listening to this episode, you'll feel committed, with your body, heart and soul, to put pleasure first as a non-negotiable form of self-care. And you'll also love simple practices on how to increase your nervous system capacity to hold more love, success, creativity through pleasure.   HIGHLIGHTS:  Pleasure as a supreme form of self-care Yes, pleasure has everything to do with your business What happens when we go without pleasure for too long Pleasure before productivity, not after! If pleasure is that good, why do we resist it? Pleasure as a healing modality How pleasure changed my life DIVE DEEPER INTO MY WORLD: Holy Woman - free 2-hour Somatic Experience on Oct 31st to calibrate to your most expansive love life, business success, and connection to your Femininity Holy Body Waitlist –  somatic membership to grow your business, revolutionize your relationships and embody your power as a Whole Woman through the lenses of your nervous system FREE SOMATIC RESET QUIZ to discover which area in your life is needed a reset & get a somatic practice to nourish your biz, love life, or the woman at the center of it all Say hi to me on Insta
