128: A{Live} Now: When Discomfort Ripens, Calibrate Pleasure + Systemic Intergenerational Trauma

What this episode covers

Destruction, dismantling, burning things up. A quiet clearing, despair, grieving, integration, dust settling. Looking. When it’s time to create anew and there’s space for sweet tendrils and sprouts, what do you align, anchor, or calibrate to? For me it’s pleasure in a deep and whole way, yet sweet and joyful. In this episode, I talk about the ripening of difficult feelings in uncomfortable situations, respecting yourself and seeing the spiritual agenda, and some recent experiences that triggered some Chinese American ancestral dynamics. And that I’m home in Michigan and what I’m doing here now!   Links, Article, and Resources All Show Notes for This Episode 📝 https://CandiceWu.com/ep128  Podcast Homepage 🎧 https://candicewu.com/podcast Newsletter & Embody Community 💌 https://candicewu.com/embody-community Donations – Your Support Means So Much! 💝 https://candicewu.com/support Candice Wu Page on Facebook 👫 https:///EmbodyYourNature Follow Candice on Instagram 📷 https://instagram.com/EmbodyYourNature   Sponsored By Are you craving touch!?
