Welcome to The Philip Wride Show! In this captivating episode, we delve into a unique and transformative practice with our guest, Jen Aks. Jen pioneers a powerful approach that utilizes gestures, hand movements, and body dynamics to shift energy and boost self-awareness. She shares her methodology divided into three phases: Embodied, Empowered, and Elevated, all aimed at fostering internal validation over external approval.
We explore how Jen skillfully markets her practice through authentic Instagram content and client referrals, differentiating herself from conventional strategies. Her offerings include monthly online classes, audio gesture meditations, and workshops, with exciting plans for an upcoming book and an eight-week cohort.
Jen also recounts her innovative project during the Covid-19 pandemic, creating over 200 poignant video documentaries capturing women's resilience through the "Empower Her Virtual Gallery."
Host Philip Wride connects with Jen on the importance of intuition and natural hand movements for emotional expression, drawing parallels with Tony Robbins' power poses. We'll uncover how Jen's embodiment techniques can help set energy before public speaking and foster more profound personal connections.
Join us for an enriching conversation about the power of gesture, self-discovery, and authentic expression. Don't forget to check out Jen's contact information and pre-order Philip's book, "Finally Find Freedom," for exclusive bonuses.
