Do you sometimes (or often) find yourself wondering how to tap into your own magic and how to bring it into physical creation? And do you ask yourself how the h* to tackle all the fears and self-doubts trying to throw you off along the way? I know all these questions so well and I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to let the one and only Lisa Lister share her wisdom about it.

In this conversation you will learn that in order to do more you have to BE more of who we are. All magic starts with your body. To source from yourself is an expression of pure self-love which is nothing else than a deep and delicious relationship to your own body.

Today's guest Lisa Lister, spent a `hot minute` developing exactly that, coming home into her body, sensing and feeling through all its tastes, colour and rhythms of the experiences and events life offered her. And the result, well, start reading her books … this woman is pure awesomeness indeed!

The Cooler magazine crowned Lisa ‘the defender of female awesomeness’ , Lisa is a bestselling author, visionary artist + women’s wellness practitioner. She offers support, space, remembrance, spiritual guidance, astrological insight, cyclic maps and counsel to women who are exploring, navigating and wanting to heal their relationship with their body, power, sex, creativity, pleasure and passion.

Lisa took the decision to dedicate her life to create art to help other women to reclaim their power. And in this conversation she shares with us her journey and what process she committed to be able to shine her unique magic into the world today. We also talked about the fear she met and you might meet along the way and how to reclaim the power within.

In this conversation we explore:

• How our bodies are the vessel to uncover our unique magic within and to share it with the world. Lisa shares practices and routines which emerged from her personal story and shares so many lush inputs and insights to lean into the wisdom of your body right now! Warning: This episode is very infectious!

• How to meet fear and comparison and how those experiences really are calling us home to our true power and can be gateways to remember that we always have a choice - it is just not always comfortable - and to take decisions which are aligned with our calling.

• That we are all creatrixes and being creative is our birth right, Lisa talks about the power of sharing our lived experience, pure, raw and humble, and how if we all do this we strengthen the collective voice of the sacred feminine in the world.

Welcome to The Soft Rebellion Podcast, I am so happy that you are here.

This podcast is my expression of yearning to come home to the creative power of my female body and I am so excited to share my lived experience with you and invite you to join this movement. And in todays episode I share with you how, oh Sister, I have been on an adventure called "doing nothing and harvest it all" - yes, a big break, a big bleed was calling me home, it was so bloody hard and so fantastic!

This solo episode is about the power of rest and darkness and how we need to be in our dark spaces to meet our true power!

Our bodies are cyclical, each month we experience an expansive phase and a phase of retrieving back home, an inhale phase and an exhale phase. I dismissed the second half of my cycle for many years, neglecting all desires to rest, to take a break and harvest its gifts. I kept doing, running, always chasing - and joined our common tendency of being what I call an inhale society! I still was quite successful but not very fulfilled, and the more I wondered how can I be successful and fulfilled, the more rest and breaks were calling me home … and I feel to share with you today an experience which for me is the answer to this question. I did my first big bleed and I would love to share with you the gifts I harvest in that time. And also the challenges I met.

In this conversation I share with you:

• About my first BIG BLEED experience, the gifts I harvested and the challenges I met along the way.
• Why it is crucial to emergence into our rest as we softly rebelliously reclaim the creative power of our female body and how monthly big bleeds can be the doorways to live a successful AND fulfilled life!
• About the power of meeting the darkness of our womb and how the time of menstruation can the time where you are the closest to your body and your inner wisdom and intuition!

Resources I mentioned:

• Book: Wild Power by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer
• Podcast episode from The Menstruality podcast about big bleed, episode number

Are you still curiously wondering what this Soft Rebellion is all about? Well, there are as many definitions of the Soft Rebellion as there are women softly rebelling; the key to the Soft Rebellion is that it looks unique for each of us and the closer we are to our instinctual knowing the closer we are to our Soft Rebellion. The Soft Rebellion is she who gives herself permission to be her weird and unique self, it is the beginning of a magic journey and movement, for me, for you and for this podcast.

I am excited to be joined today by the woman who also mid-wifed the birth of The Soft Rebellion podcast and together we started weaving a web of exploring what the Soft Rebellion means to us and how it often emerges through our so challenging and painful stories which really are an invitation to lean into our calling and dreams.

She is the host of the Red School Menstruality Podcast and the creator of the Your Cyclical Business online programme helping purpose-led creatives and changemaker to channel the wisdom of their menstrual cycles to create thriving businesses.

In this conversation we explore:

• The magic birth of The Soft Rebellion Podcast, what the soft rebellion means for Sophie and Flurina and where this movement might take us and what it invites us to emerge into.
• Sophie's journey and how her body has guided her to emergence into the feminine and to live her calling as a soft rebellion. For Sophie menstrual cycle awareness is the key practice to embody her expression of the soft rebellion on a daily base and she shares with us what that means and how that might look like.
• Sophie's work as a cyclical business coach and consultant and how our menstrual cycles can be the incredible life coach and guide - our own tailor-made personal guide - and also be our best business coach, if it is purpose-led and a vehicle for our soul work!

Welcome to The Soft Rebellion Podcast, I am so happy that you are here.

One year ago I started with The Breathing Body podcast, and what I thought would be `just` the first step of doing `my own thing` became process of really getting to know myself, revealing my authenticity, to call out of my and reach more fully into myself a deep promise to myself to listen and give expression to my creative voice and let her work through me - it became a process of reclaiming my soft rebellion.

The Breathing Body shed its skin and I am so excited to welcome you to the first episode of its new format: The Soft Rebellion Podcast - A homecoming to the creative power in the female body.

Today I would like to share with you about the soft rebellion journey I have been in over the past year, what it looked like, where I arrived at and what the greatest teaching was for me. Yes, I made a big bold decision.

In this conversation I explore:

• The journey I was on in the past 12 months and what the gold nuggets have been and how they might be an inspiration for you too!

• What my eating disorder recovery has to do with the Soft Rebellion and how it became a gateway to commit to my greatest vision.

• The power of `just doing it`! I explore what we and what it need(s) to take big bold decisions in life, I share with you what practices and questions held me during this process and what you can engage with too to start reclaiming your Soft Rebellion.

Hello and welcome to The Breathing Body Podcast - My name is Flurina and I am your host, and I am so happy that you are here.

In this episode I am talking with dancer, researcher, movement therapist and choreographer Hagit Yakira. Together we embarked on a journey to explore so deep and meaningful questions, is the artistic process ever not healing? Why do we dance? What does freedom mean? And how much freedom can we give and live in any given structure? The end result is a conversation, so raw, pure and humble, it brought tears to my eyes whilst we recorded it and is still moving in and through me. This is the breathing body.

About Hagit Yakira:

Hagit is an award winning Israeli choreographer and director of her own company Hagit Yakira Dance which she founded in 2007. Besides working with professional dancers she leads performance projects for the community and non-professional dancers as well. Alongside her work as a choreographer Hagit is a teacher. She has been developing a personal style and way of teaching and her workshops for professional dancers and the community are constantly in demand around the UK, Europe, Scandinavia and Israel. Hagit received her PhD from Trinity Laban/City University. Her thesis is titled: Relational Autobiographical Choreographies - on a new choreographic practice. At present she is an Associate Professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway. Her approach in general, as well as to the movement research, is based on autobiography, and different physical exploration of emotions; she is being informed by her background as a dance movement therapist alongside her background as a performer and a choreographer.

In this conversation we talked about:

• The intimate relationship between the artistic process and healing and the potency of art to reflect back to us what we otherwise might not see, and call out of us all the voices we forgot to express.

• The balance of structure and freedom in dance teaching and how becoming a dance therapist brought meaning and generosity in Hagit`s life.

• Fear as a channel to guide us home to ourselves and how it opens the space to trust what we love.

• How giving birth and becoming mother of twins "landed something" in Hagit`s live and invited her to land into who she truly is.

Hello and welcome to The Breathing Body Podcast - My name is Flurina and I am your host, and I am so happy that you are here.

Eating disorders, food struggles, body image issue, body shame, … we are living in a world in which many of us live a life disconnected from their bodies, numbing their feelings and neglect their needs. Always running, never arriving.

I am so grateful to open the space again to talk about eating disorder recovery as it is a process full of challenges and GIFTS, teaching us to become our own best coach, learning to listen to our feelings and nurture our needs.
