Let’s be honest: As a woman or menstruating person in this society, it isn’t exactly easy to grow up with a lot of reverence for your body, nor your cycle. In this spiritual-feminist podcast about menstrual wisdom and activism for our modern times, I share musings, reflections and conversations to make living as a cyclical being (ALL beings are cyclical, by the way!) in a world set up for linear progress more easeful for you. Let yourself be inspired to detox from the systems of oppression you’ve most probably internalised, so you can walk the spirals of your life with more confidence and trust in yourself and your gorgeous body and reclaim the superpower and ancient wisdom already stored in your bones! And no, you don’t need to have a uterus to benefit from this!

  1. Cyclical Living in a Capitalist World

    Cyclical Living in a Capitalist World

    "It might just be less about anything you have to add and more about just surrendering to what is real around you." The systems we live in are broken – oppressive structures that are based on linear progress and exploitation of resources (including our own energy) in order to keep up with the self-proclaimed "norm" of continuous growth. Yet, when we look to our beautiful planet Earth and Nature, we have the best example of sustainability and regeneration right there: Nature is cyclical, and as part of Nature, so are we! Our bodies, regardless of sex or gender, experience the same seasons, are a miniature version of the vast and woundrous ecosystem that we see all around! So listen in to this conversation about how to live a more cyclical and empowered life in a capitalist world, as my guest Megan Leatherman and I ponder the questions: - What is capitalism and how can you recognise the tell-tale signs of this system playing out your own life? - How can you navigate living as cyclical being (all beings are cyclical!) in a world set up for linear progress, when you still have to work within these systems to earn your living? - How can attuning to the land and to Nature be the antidote to help you unravel and release the internalised oppressive structures from your nervous system? - How can you be with the complexity of the situation and still create change towards a different future through joy and contentment?

All of her work is rooted in the idea that living in alignment with the Earth's rhythms is an essential way for us to come back to our innate gifts and natural wisdom in the midst of capitalist culture. She lives in what's now known as Portland, Oregon with her spouse and two young children.

    Resourcing through Somatics with Lise Lønsmann

    Let's face it: Not only do we currently live in a world that's on fire, with big cosmological shifts that reveal the oppressive systems we've been leaning on and internalising – many of us, especially the more sensitive and neuro-spicy folks, also experience an unprecedented level of burnout! The questions is: How can you care for yourself when even tending to your basic needs (like feeding yourself) already feels like a chore? And what if that's more simple than you think and there is a way of doing it that doesn't feel like adding more things to your to-do-list? In today's conversation my guest Lise Lønsmann and I talk about somatic healing and how it can help you deeply nourish yourself in simple ways. We dive into: - Lise's story and how somatic healing helped her support herself through burnout - The limitations of talk therapy when it comes to processing emotions - Why somatics is a quiet, rebellious tool to dismantle the systems of oppression - Simple ways of resourcing yourself without putting more things on your to-do-list Resources we mentioned: Lise's free guided grounding practice "Connecting with a Resource": https://www.liseloensmann.com/podcast-gift You can also ask me (Lisa) any question here: https://lisa-jara.com/en/ask-me or send me a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/lisajara And if you want to address the deeper layers of menstrual or perimenopausal health issues and feel safe, happy, healthy and (w)holy in your body, book your free Discovery Call here and let's get to know each other: https://tidycal.com/lisajara/discovery-call ***** More about my guest: Lise Lønsmann is a trauma-informed somatic healing practitioner and an embodiment mentor. Lise has been guiding movement and body connection for 25 years, and her healing work is deeply rooted in the wisdom of the body as well as a holistic approach to healing and thriving. The foundation of her embodiment work is gentleness and reconnecting with oneself in self-supportive ways.

    A Fireside Chat about the PreMenstrual Syndrome (PMS) & PreMenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) – Part 2

    Many people have heard about PMS-symptoms – the Pre-Menstrual Syndrome can show up in a variety of physical and psycho-emotional ways, like migraines, bloating, water retention, congestion, and also fatigue, listlessness and mood swings. But there is something only few people are aware of, which is usually more pronounced on the psycho-emotional level and leads to an intense experience that could be called "PMS on steroids": PMDD – Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder In the days and weeks before their period, some people enter into existential despair (more than they might normally do), leading them to big questions like “Is all this living even worth it?” This is extremely taxing on the nervous system, especially when you don't understand that this is connected to your menstrual cycle experience. Join my guest Rianne BeCraft and me for this intimate conversation about PMS and PMDD, how they might be showing up in your life or in the lives of people around you and a few ideas on how you can support yourself or your loved ones in these experiences.

  5. Life without Pressure – A Poem

    Life without Pressure – A Poem

    I don't consider myself a poet, but sometimes words just happen to flow through, like they did in a recent coaching session I received. As I explored my relationship with pressure, I began wondering what a life without it might look like – something I have only experienced on rare occasions. Shout out to my amazing friend and coach Piper Rose (they/them) who held space for my healing and for this poem to come through! You can learn more about them and their work here: https://piperrosecoaching.com Resources I mentioned: Sign up for Mo(o)nday Musings, my weekly personal e-letters to start your week with some soul-infused musings that support you in your personal cyclical experience in a world set up for linear progress: https://lisa-jara.com/en/moonday-musings Send me a mail at lisa@lisa-jara.com, or leave me a voice message here: https://www.speakpipe.com/lisajara And you can book a Discovery Call with me: https://tidycal.com/lisajara/discovery-call or explore my work over on my website: https://lisa-jara.com

  6. [Live Coaching] Soothing the Inner Child to reduce Emotional Eating

    ١٢‏/٠٧‏/٢٠٢٤

    [Live Coaching] Soothing the Inner Child to reduce Emotional Eating

    Today's episode is an example of a Soul-based Coaching session with a very practical topic: Snacking to self-soothe in situations of social anxiety and nervous system activation. In less than 20 minutes, my client was able to dive deep into her inner knowing about why she reaches for snacks when she’s emotionally activated and what she would like to do instead – taking care of the younger part of her that feels overwhelmed in social situations. Note how her desired outcome wasn't meant to reduce snacking altogeher, but it was about owning her power of choosing what to eat and when! And because through Soul-based Coaching something shifts right there and then, on a subconscious and cellular level, one week after this session she reported she was able to catch herself in those moments of activation and go grab her nervous system soothing tools instead of food (maybe not every time, but hey, it’s progress!). For me, Soul-based Coaching is a Quiet Revolution, a different approach to Life and how change can happen in an easeful, trauma-sensitive way. By journeying deep into yourself and your own metaphors (inner images) – beneath your analytical mind – you allow your inner wisdom, the knowledge that is stored in your body, heart, mind and soul, to emerge and show you the answers and solutions that feel really good to you. If you would like to receive a free coaching session, in exchange for your consent to use the material to show others what coaching with me can look like (I will not disclose your name unless you want me to!), get in touch at lisa@lisa-jara.com!

  7. Menstrual Art & Period Painting

    ٠٥‏/٠٧‏/٢٠٢٤

    Menstrual Art & Period Painting

    As you may have guessed, menstrual art – or period painting – means using your menstrual blood to make art, for example on paper, or by adorning yourself with it. Even though the idea makes my stomach queasy, I like to challenge myself to have these important conversations. And while there's both intrigue and disgust inside of me, I'm also wondering if menstrual art could become a portal into a deeper, even more intimate connection with myself, with my womb. Because if I myself am whole and holy, why wouldn’t my menstrual blood be as well? That’s why today, my guest Camilla and I talk about menstrual art and reclaiming the disgust, the connection and the pleasure that may come with this intimate practice. Join us as we dive into: - My personal hesitations regarding menstrual art - How we can develop compassion for ourselves as we sit with different, maybe even conflicting emotions around taboo topics - What happened when Camilla first offered her blood back to the Earth - Whether or not it's a smelly process, and the role of the olfactory sense for our human existence - Ideas how you can dip your toes into menstrual art at any age and any stage of life (yes, even post menopause) and reclaim it as a practice of intimacy and connection to your own inner power It's never too late to heal the relationship with yourself, with your body, with your cycle, with your blood! Camilla and I would love to know: What comes up for you when you think of using your menstrual blood to make art – or even adorn yourself? What is (or was, if you’re post-menopausal) your relationship with your menstrual blood like? What has stood out for you from what we’ve been sharing? Send me a mail (lisa@lisa-jara.com) or leave me a voice message here (https://www.speakpipe.com/lisajara)! Resources we mentioned: Aurora from "Pelvic Priestess" Website: www.pelvicpriestess.co.uk The Rite of the Womb: https://lisa-jara.com/en/blog/e32-the-rite-of-the-womb Book a Free Discovery Call with Lisa, if you want to take your Womb Health into your own hands and have a happy, healthy period or happy, healthy (peri)menopause experience: https://tidycal.com/lisajara/discovery-call About Camilla: Camilla is a Love, Sex and Relationship Coach and Menstrual Cycle Mentor. Her deepest prayer is for all women and cyclical beings to come into connection with their bodies, through reverence, ritual and remembrance that they're whole, perfect and divine. Camilla works 1:1 with clients, supporting them to come into radical self-acceptance and love for their body through menstrual cycle awareness, and embracing pleasure as a vital resource for feeling truly alive and free in our bodies. As we heal and come into connection without ourselves we connect back to Mother Earth and remember that we're not separate.

    Womb Wisdom Practice

    Life is a spiralling journey. Yet, in contrast to the hero's journey of out and up, a womb-bearer's process of maturing and evolution goes down an deep within.
