    EP 462: Choosing Connection Over Being Right in Midlife | Verónica Márquez

    How do you improve communication in relationships—especially in midlife? What does it really take to choose connection over being right? In this episode of The Embodied Podcast, I'm joined by Verónica Márquez for a powerful conversation on midlife relationships, emotional maturity, and communication skills that deepen trust and intimacy. Verónica shares a transformative three-month experiment in her marriage where she practiced choosing connection over being right—and how it completely shifted the way she listens, communicates, and relates. We explore: Relationship communication in midlife   How to build self-trust and emotional intelligence The power of curiosity and whole-body listening Navigating conflict with more presence and less reactivity Creating deeper, more meaningful connections in partnership and community We also talk about the inspiration behind Dinner Confidential, Verónica's project designed to spark honest, intentional conversations around topics like confidence, fear, self-love, ambition, culture, and relationships. If you're navigating midlife, wanting to improve communication in your relationships, or seeking more depth, connection, and clarity—this conversation will meet you there. Time is one of our most valuable resources. Thank you for spending yours here. Connect with Verónica: https://veronicamarquez.me Connect with Elizabeth: https://elizabethdialto.com/links

    Ep 458: What Is Your Truth

    Telling the truth is the ultimate act of love, even when it hurts or is unpleasant. Fear and discomfort often hold us back from fully embracing truths. Truth telling requires courage. Today, we dive into the nuances of accessing and embracing your truth. I also share some truth of my own that I recently came to terms with, which while uncomfortable, is a relief to acknowledge and share with this community.  Throughout the episode, we explore the tools and practices to help you access your truth. We also unpack the risks of speaking your truth, such as personal and societal repercussions, and how to navigate this while staying honest with yourself. We discuss how to embrace the evolution of truth and give compassion and grace to those who share their truth with you.  In episode 458 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:58) How to tune into the body's sensations and emotions to access your truth (5:52) The truth that I'm currently living and navigating (17:00) Embracing the seasons and cycles of truth  (26:13) Engaging with your complex truth true real honesty  (28:55) Finding a balance between believing in your truth, social pressures, and personal choices  (33:59) Why you have to welcome in an evolving and shifting truth  (38:45) Understanding truthfulness as an act of love, even if it is painful  (43:19) The Truth Prayer  Resources mentioned in the episode: Wild Soul Sunday Service  Join Reweave Book a 1:1 Root Work Session Register for The Wild Womanhood Course Dark Healing: Order of Secret Priestesses Book 1 is now available on Amazon Kindle and in print Apply for The Cherish Retreat Support The School of Sacred Embodiment with a donation Gene Key 63 - Truth  Prayers For Wild Souls: Volume 1 Wild Soul Liberation Workbook Free resources:  AM + PM Embodiment Rituals Wild Soul Archetypes Quiz Stay in touch:  Subscribe to my Substack  Catch the full show notes for episode 458 here Email us with questions or feedback Don't miss an episode of The Embodied Podcast

    Ep 457: The Pleasure of Self Respect

    Today, we explore the beauty and pleasure of self respect and its role in cultivating personal growth, fulfillment, and healing within yourself and your relationships. We examine self respect through the lens of The Erotic Priestess archetype, who embodies respect, reverence, and divine communion, serving as a guide for integrating spirituality, sensuality, and sexuality into your holistic human experience.  We discuss how self respect is related to self awareness, self knowledge, self acceptance, and trust – the pillars of the Embodied Self Love Framework. We also dive into the meaning of the word erotic, which comes from the Greek word eros, and discuss the transformative power of love in its purest form. Plus, we take a look at Audre Lorde's essay "Uses of the Erotic," which exemplifies the significance of the erotic as a source of great power.  In episode 457 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (2:54) Why self respect is is the last pillar in the Embodied Self Love Framework (4:45) The beauty of archetype work for inner growth and healing (8:14) Exploring the word 'eros'  (15:46) The Erotic Priestess archetype in the context of the Wild Soul Archetypes (23:48) Integrating spirituality, sensuality, and sexuality in a holistic expression of femininity and womanhood  (25:41) Harnessing and embracing erotic energy as a source of power  (30:14) Distinguishing between sensations, emotions, and feeling states (32:26) The Erotic Priestess Prayer Resources mentioned in the episode: Wild Soul Sunday Service  Join Reweave Book a 1:1 Root Work Session Register for The Wild Womanhood Course Dark Healing: Order of Secret Priestesses Book 1 is now available on Amazon Kindle and in print Episode 366 | Erotic Movement Arts with Rie Katagiri Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde The Wild Soul Movement Embodiment Bible Work with me:  NEW!
