You are never not embodied. You are a body — a treasure trove of wisdom and native intelligence. There’s a bubbling abundance of insight within you, but it’s not something you can access through the mind alone. That’s why we’re called to give authority back to the body — to let her know she can be trusted, and to rewild our experience which is the sacred return to our true nature.But what does it really mean to live in our body again — to stop outsourcing truth to the mind and remember the language of sensation, instinct, and pleasure?In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Michaela Boehm. Michaela teaches and counsels internationally as an expert in intimacy and relationships. Born and raised in Austria, she combines a background in psychology and extensive clinical counseling experience with deep training in the yogic arts. Her unique body of work sits at the intersection of embodiment and intimacy. Michaela is the author of The Wild Woman’s Way and the founder of The Non-Linear Movement Method®, a powerful somatic release practice.Together, we explore:- Michaela’s journey from effortless embodiment in childhood, to a period of disconnection and being “stuck in her head,” and finally to discovering profound embodiment practices that now shape her life’s work.- What embodiment really means: giving authority back to the body, cultivating interoceptive awareness, and deeply listening to the messages the body constantly sends us.- How we can rewild ourselves — returning to the body, to pleasure, and to the art of being rather than always doing— even in the busyness of modern life. Michaela shares powerful embodiment practices that allow us to live a wildly creative life without burning out.- Why so many of us end up as “thinking heads on sticks” — and how we can reconnect with the lower body to awaken intimacy, pleasure, and aliveness. We also discuss how to meet the shame that can arise in this reconnection, especially around the lower body.---🌟 Join my softly rebellious on Substack: Subscribe here.🌟 Sign up here to receive a copy of my free workshop about The wild and poetic anatomy of the female body.🌟 Work with me 1:1 online or in person, find out more here.---💛 The Soft Rebellion Podcast is created and hosted by Flurina Dominique Thali.
