Astro-somatic insights and practices for embodying your true power! The Soul and Soma podcast is an astro-somatic podcast hosted by Verena Borell for intuitive, sensitive people like you who want to reclaim their agency and create their lives in an embodied, conscious way – in a world that wants us to disconnect from our body, soul, spirit, true power and light.
On this show, we explore awakening IN our body and bravely following our soul’s calling – without getting disempowered by media manipulation, meritocracy and deeply distorted systems.
Is being your True Self a luxury, a privilege 💅🏽 and something you can work on when you have more time, energy, money ... (i.e. never 🤷🏽♀️)?
Are you doing what you deeply want and what feels aligned and right for you? Or do you try to meet the expectations of others and make everyone else as happy as possible?
In this episode, we curiously explore why it is so important that YOU reclaim your agency and return to your True Self! Why…? Because being Your-Self and embodying your power is the most humble, important, and world-changing thing that you can do in this day and age 🌈.
But that is easier said than done, right…?
🌀 Tune in and discover with me the challenges and the magic of our path back to our True Selves. You’ll hear more about:
Why it is so important for your health, happiness, relationships and work-life to be YOU
How you can change planet Earth for the better (without becoming a politician)
Why being NOT your True Self is probably a smart protection mechanism
Why becoming aware of your “limiting beliefs” is often not enough
The power of your nervous system over your decision making and life path
My own experiences with burn-out, overwork and astro-somatic healing
You’ll also how this podcast and YOU are part of my personal journey of liberation, transformation and soul-soma-growth 🌳
🔑 This episode gives you powerful permission slips and compassionate guidance in becoming (even more) YOURSELF – without judging you as a people pleaser or pushing you into toxic self-optimization!
