Unapologetic with Jannine MacKinnon Jannine MacKinnon - Confidence and Sexual Empowerment Coach

Today is a very special guest episode with Kyla Gagnon. Kyla is a somatic breathwork facilitator, women's embodiment and empowerment leader and podcast host. And I have invited her. On to the podcast to share about her journey in really stepping into her unapologetic truth, in reclaiming herself, in aligning with her authenticity and learning to really use her voice and tune into her body and tune into what is in alignment.
We dive into all of this and more as Kyla and I each share vulnerable pieces of our journey never shared publicly before. My hopes is that in listening to this conversation, you're able to see yourself in it and see the different ways that you have moved throughout your journey.
And if you are someone that is more in the beginning stages or perhaps just curious about all of these different things that we're talking about, that this conversation serves as a source of inspiration for you to really see what is possible. As Kyla and I, as we share, have both been in different positions where we literally had no voice, where we were being asked to speak, to say something, and we literally could not speak. And both of us have been able to go from that strong disconnection and that strong disempowerment to, on the flip side, really finding ourselves, reclaiming ourselves and being unapologetic in our authenticity.
This also is in partnership with her podcast, Reclaimed. I did an interview on her show, one week ago. So we will link that episode as well. I have quite enjoyed her podcast and have picked up pieces of her stories from that. I definitely recommend checking that out. All of the links are in the show notes for you to connect with Kyla on Instagram to check out her podcast. And we just so appreciate your support and listening. And without further ado, let's dig into it.


Kyla's story, from independent and disconnected to empowered using her voice
Working with our shadow selves
Connecting with the body
Finding breathwork
Investing in yourself and taking leaps of faith
Intuition and building a relationship with yourself

 Have you ever felt guilty about missing out on work or spending too much with work? Do you feel like you are caught between different worlds, constantly struggling to find balance, that you feel like you need to do all of these things when it comes to work and family life and health and this, that, and the other thing, but there's no way you can actually keep it all balanced?


If this is resonating with you, you'll want to listed to this week's episode where I am shifting your perspective from looking for achieving that balance, and instead, moving more towards harmony, and how that can feel a lot better on the nervous system and relieve some of that undo pressure you put on yourself.


Why Finding Balance Is Unattainable


Balance
Perfectionism
Harmony
Looking at a wider picture
Being in alignment
Doing enough of the good stuff

It's time to take your power back! So much of our lives is wasted putting our partner's needs at the forefront, while shoving ours aside to maybe occassionaly satisfy, and that's disempowering af. Perhaps you're already on your journey of reclamation, or perhaps it's been more of a thought than an action, either way, you'll love this episode where I share why your sexuality should be centered around you, not him, and how that creates ripple effects throughout your life.

Along with connection and support, communication is the foundation of our relationships, and it impacts alot more than our love life. In this episode we discuss the impact of effective communication and conscious relationships, while providing 7 simple tips to communicate effectively with your partner. 

I first started using these tips a few years ago, and they completely turned my marriage around. I went from resentful and distant, and having conversations blow up, to being able to communicate like the team we are today, asking for support, and speaking about things before they fester. If you're interested in how to communicate in a better way in your relationship, then you'll want to give this episode a listen.

Saying yes and figuring it out later has been a motto of my life for quite some time. It's what lead me to exactly where I am today, living a life I love with my family, building a business in something I'm truly passionate about, making an impact with women all around the world. And it took doing the scary thing over, and over and over again. It took breaking up with boys I love, quiting jobs, putting myself through school, getting our home, and leaving my previous business behind. And it was all worth it.

I see too many women hold themselves back believing the little gremlin on their shoulder, ultimately distrusting themselves and their ability to do the thing. But this isn't going to be you anymore! We're hear to say yes and figure it out later, and if you need some extra motivation to get shit done and make things happen, then tune into this episode, and get ready to get fired up.
