The truth is, we're living in a world that doesn't value our emotional intelligence or train us on how to access it.  

Instead of teaching us to recognize our feelings as information about what aligns with our true selves, we're taught to repress ourselves, put on a good face, and keep pushing ahead.

So you don't recognize that your upset stomach is telling you to slow down and take time before making a decision or committing to something with another person.

You're anxious when you sit down to rest because your mind keeps listing all the things you need to do.

You aren't even sure what your boundaries are because you've become so used to pushing beyond them.  You only know that you're tired and overwhelmed. 

You keep hanging out with people who don't reciprocate the care you give to them and leave you disappointed and resentful.

I've been in all of these places. I know how deep the hole can get before you start taking steps to get yourself out.  I was heading for a divorce before I realized that the most important person to connect with is myself.

And I know from working with many women that it's possible to claim your power and live in joy, as your true self with people who love and support you just for being you.

The place to begin is with Devotion to yourself so you can get clear on your hopes and desires, know when it's time to set a boundary or say "No," remain grounded when life gets stormy, and stay focused on your highest good, even if it means leaving people and situations that aren't loving you back.
 

And your body holds the key!

Bodies don't lie.  While your mind can get caught up in "shoulds," "what ifs," and expectations from family and society, your body knows what's real.  This isn't Woo stuff, this is science.  We literally evolved to use our senses for protection and information. 

But we've just been taught that bodies are gross, having emotions is immature, and that authority figures and gurus know what's better for us than we do.

Tuning into your body so that you can receive your own deep wisdom is how you come to know yourself and gracefully step into your power.

That is Confidence!  Trusting yourself so that you can live authentically with compassion for yourself and others, and no need for apology. 

The most direct and supportive path I've found to unlocking the wisdom of our own bodies is through dance.

Not the sort of dance you see on stage to entertain or entice an audience. But dance where you let it all go, move as your body desires, welcome all the parts of yourself, celebrate where you are right here, right now, and allow yourself to witness the challenges you're experiencing.  

Becoming Babelicious is designed to open the connection between your body+heart+mind so you can release shame, judgment and anxiety, and meet the most nurturing parts of yourself.  Expand your emotional capacity and get more comfortable feeling your feelings and listening to the wisdom of your body.  Honor your sweet heart and build your own deep well of resilience, power and love to nourish yourself, your loved ones and our world.

This is BodyMagick! 

My collection of Mindset and BodyMagicks and support, is designed to help you build your own Self Devotion practice so that you can release anxiety, judgment, and negative self-talk and focus on professional success, mutually supportive relationships and celebrate your power and pleasure.

​

I combine simple Mindset Tools with the power of movement to connect you with your feelings and make feeling them more comfortable -- even the "icky" ones -- so you can trust the wisdom of your body, stop getting tangled in your mind and being influenced by people, messages and limitations that don't serve you, and rule your life. 

It's much easier to find your own way of being successful, shiny and sexy when you're connected to your whole self.
