Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), stated that:“The heart of compassion is really acceptance. The better we are at accepting ourselves and others, the more compassionate we become.”In today's times, women of all ages and backgrounds are speaking up and taking the lead. This newfound power leads to great strides in both our personal and professional lives, but it doesn't come easy. For many women, self-acceptance is an ongoing journey that requires resilience in the face of countless setbacks. Women often feel like they're not good enough, whether it's their appearance, intelligence, or ability to do things "right." This can lead to a lot of self-judgment and anxiety. For our guest, Jen Aks-Neuman, it is time for women to break the mold and achieve radical acceptance of themselves.Jen is a documentarian and embodiment coach who founded herStories in response to the pandemic as a way to help Womxn tell their stories of resilience. Her mission is to shift the mindset of humanity, one story at a time. She has combined her 30+ years of movement practices, photography, editing, speaking, and directing to curate The herStories Collection, producing close to 100 documentaries since the pandemic began.These are meant to educate, inspire, empower and open our hearts and minds to what is possible, helping Womxn unlock emotions that have provided breakthroughs and new perspectives about who they are and what is possible in their lives. This movement has crossed three oceans and four seas, landed in five countries, and has impacted countless Womxn worldwide to help them find radical acceptance for themselves and humanity.What You Will Learn From This Episode02:30 - Finding our radical acceptance03:56 - Jen’s journey towards radical acceptance 10:00 - Empowerment and moving away from shame or judgments 11:28 - Shifting the mindset of humanity, one story at a time17:49 - The power of gesture Resources MentionedBrené Brown’s 30 core emotions: https://brenebrown.com/resources/list-of-core-emotions/Atlas of the HeartConnect with Jen Aks-NeumanWebsite: www.herStories.org YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGKIS8IFZtRM53mkTFlKLCic51YYCq8F- Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/herstoriestold LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/71042296/admin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/herstories_told/ See What Your Obsessed Girls Are Doing and Send Us Feedback!CROWN AND COMPASS | Linktree - https://linktr.ee/crownandcompassgirls Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
