Elena is a spark of energy, a ray of sunshine and a cultivator of embodied JOY- living what she teaches. I enjoyed our conversation so much, and loved diving into some impromptu “parts work” as our interview created space for my inner perfectionist to reveal herself, and how this inner part was created from a memory of embarrassment and shame (so interesting!)
- What does it mean to re-inhabit ourselves?
- How feeling our feelings helps us to make space for joy.
- How can we learn to give ourselves what we most need - by getting out of our head and into our bodies?
- Why nudges are important when it comes to making bite sized changes in our lives.
- Why we should not FIX ourselves or each other.
- How does the body become a conduit for healing?
- Why does joy feel elusive for so many women?
- How the inner parts of ourselves can often unintentionally keep us from our joy!
- Why our my bodies are the ultimate teachers
- How we can get out of survival mode and Enjoy and Embody our lives!
