S12E8 - Embodied Movement Stories: Farewell People Pleasing with Christina Ryan-Stoltz

How do we drop the people pleasing tendencies & assumed identities we’ve taken on… so we contact our wild self? 

This is big, profound work. Yet you don’t need 10 years of therapy or burning down your entire life/marriage/career to do it. 

Christina Ryan-Stoltz @she_skool joins us on the podcast today for an exploration of her experience of Embodied Movement Practice & how it’s supported her to contact the self she always knew was there… but wasn’t sure how to access. 

In this personal retelling Chrstina shares with us: 

• The primal, wild woman within that surfaced through embodied movement 

• Not taking up much space in marriage - to finding more equal partnership 

• Body image issues & how these held Christina back from inhabiting her body 

• Why shaking, releasing energy through movement & vocalizing can feel “weird” and how we can overcome of hesitations to do it
