4. Sharon Koe: Embodying Radical Acceptance

In today’s episode, my guest in conversation is Sharon Koe. Our conversation here revolved around radical acceptance: what it means, how it applies to working with others in learning spaces, and how Sharon is working with radical acceptance in her work, which has been impacted significantly by the lockdown. Finally, we also discussed how systemic silencing impacts us on a somatic level. It was a rich and truly spiralic conversation full of metaphors.Here's Sharon's bio: Sharon is an educator, passionate (sometimes to a fault!) to free minds (and bodies) out of fear, and make a-ha moments a common experience. These days she does that through Pilates, and also through written and spoken words - if you let her talk, she just keeps going. She owes a lot of her a-ha moments through her forever teacher and guide, the host of this podcast (aka Jonathan!) :)Connect with Sharon through her personal IG account @sharonchristykoe for her Ramble Cure Project and new updates on what she's up to, as well as through her studio's account @bravespinepilates for her use of words to free bodies of fear. Sign up for my newsletter to read my essays and be the first to hear about new offerings here.If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.
