This is the final episode of Season 1 of Untrained. Iris and Whitney dive into a topic we each care greatly about; embodiment. We share how we practice embodiment in our own lives and what patterns of ours keep pulling us of course. We explore the idea of listening to the body as an indicator light that can give us valuable information about how we are doing and what is going on for us.

Here are some quotes from our final season 1 episode:

👉 “If I don’t listen to the signals my body is sending me, the signals get louder and turn into something else (usually something worse).
👉 “It is easier to be uncomfortable in the ways that I am used to being uncomfortable.”
👉 “There is not a lot of external safety for slowing down. We have to create safety for it within our own bodies.”
👉 “UNTRAINING TAKES A LONG TIME”
👉 “For some people oriented to should’s, getting curious about our wants IS an embodiment practice.”
