The Power of Knowing What You Want with Stephanie Redlener

It’s easy for most women to tell you exactly what everyone else in the room needs. But ask them what they want? Crickets.There’s a dinner that Stephanie Redlener hosts that sounds simple on the surface. Women come together. There’s food on the table. And the rule is: you can’t serve yourself. You have to ask.Not vaguely, not “whatever’s closest.” Specifically. The piece of chicken that looks the most delicious to you. The exact amount of potatoes. The juice on top.The first time I sat at that table, I was floored by how hard it was. Not only that, but I was amazed at the ripple effect that followed into the rest of my life.Stephanie Redlener is a feminine leadership coach, embodiment expert, and founder of the Women’s Leadership Collective. She’s spent years working with thousands of women—business leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives—helping them reconnect with their desire, their bodies, and the life force most of us have been conditioned to ignore.In This Episode, We Talk About:* Why women are brilliant at giving and terrible at receiving—and why that matters* Bragging as a tool: how celebrating yourself gives others permission to do the same* The Maserati in the garage—Stephanie’s analogy for the pleasure capacity most women have completely forgotten about* Two pathways to pleasure: moving toward what feels good, and moving through what’s blocking it (grief, rage, numbness)* The swamping practice: a 3-song embodiment method that moves you through your full emotional range* How 1% more pleasure in everyday life creates a completely different trajectory* Why embodied women make better decisions and trust their intuition moreWomen have been taught to shrink, to settle, to be grateful for whatever lands on their plate without asking. This conversation is an invitation to stop doing that. Whether you’re a founder, a mom, an executive, or someone who just wants to feel more alive—there is something in Stephanie’s work that will remind you what’s yours.Connect with Stephanie Redlener: Website: https://www.stephanieredlener.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephanieredlener/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-redlener-8940bb4/Connect with me, Ashley Logan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleydlogan Website: https://ashleydlogan.com Substack: https://substack.com/@ashleydloganResources Mentioned:* Pussy by Mama Gena (Regina Thomashauer)* Mama Gena - The School of Womanly Arts* Lioness* Sensual Prayer for Your Desire Get full access to Ashes to Ashley at ashleydlogan.substack.com/subscribe
