I spent my adolescence trying to become known for more than just my body. So, I kept my head in my books in the hopes that intelligence would take up greater space than my physical presence. It wasn’t until I became pregnant that I began to realize how disconnected I was from not just my body, but my feelings and my self.
In this solo show episode, I open up about how I formed a habit of leaving my bones behind. Then, I share how becoming a mother invited me back into a relationship with the fullness of being human. Press play to hear how a few simple practices have helped me to rediscover embodiment. Read more over on Instagram about the recent ritual I’ve carved out time to experience in my life.
Pregnancy snapped me right back into the realm of the physical. Having a child has invited me back into a relationship with my body, my feelings, my self.
