Do You Listen When Your Body Speaks To You? with Jen Aks

Do You Listen to Your Body When it Speaks to You? Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with Speaker, Leadership & Embodiment Coach, and Founder of The Power of Gesture™, Jen Aks for a compelling conversation about accessing the wisdom of the body vs that of the intellect and other forms and pathways of knowing and learning.

This was a powerful and emotional conversation - my first podcast recording post election here in the USA - and I'm so grateful that it was with Jen Aks.

In this episode...

* Jen shares her struggle with our favored linear and rational forms of intelligence and the triumph of discovering her kinesthetic intelligence- and her journey of helping others to unlock their own somatic wisdom.

* Jen shares a potent and vulnerable personal video in which she shares a very difficult life changing decision, one she was led to make as a result of courageously listening to her body speak to her.

* What is somatic wisdom? What is embodied intelligence? What are the connections to emotional intelligence? Jen breaks it all down and gives us ways to begin to deal with the fear and grief that lives in our bodies.

* Her Power of Gesture(TM) methodology, HERstories collective AND her upcoming book, soon to be announced, part memoir, part method, a guide to bring you back to the innate wisdom that lives within you.

* All this and so much more...
