The Edge Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Let’s get real for a moment and speak to the elephant in the room.

The coaching industry has been a bit of a hot mess lately.

I know many want to dismiss the entire coaching industry…

It’s a cult! It’s a big ole’ MLM

And others are holding on to dear life to their old school sales & marketing tactics

What recession? ANYONE can manifest millions!

The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle.

Coaching is a potent modality for transformation,

Anddddd…..

The industry has some pretty gnarly, out-dated practices that are no longer relevant and have harmed many.

Both are true.

This is a sweet + short solo podcast.

It is the introduction to the FREE panel series I am hosting Nov 8 - 10 called A New Chapter in the Coaching Industry: How Can We Do Better? https://nadiamunla.com/anc/

In this episode, I sit down with Nina Lombardo, teacher & mentor to women who are looking to embody their most authentic spiritual and sexual expressions.          

We debunk myths + misconceptions about many different polarity + embodiment teachings such as:

- How being “Devotional” does not mean being a “doormat”

- The difference between being devotional to get love vs. doing DESPITE not getting love

- We unpack a beautiful quote I found of hers online that hit me to the core:

“When a man trusts his woman to hold herself, he becomes free and can love her as a king instead of a daddy”

- The weaponizing of  “I’m just being feminine” or “I’m just holding a boundary”

- And lots more!

Nina’s embodiment of love is inspiring on so many levels. Tune in - not just for her wisdom - but to feel her transmission!

Nina Lombardo is a teacher, mentor, and artist who supports women in embodying their most authentic spiritual and sexual expressions.

Through workshops, retreats, and private mentoring, she provides her students with somatic-based tools to embody more love and deepen their capacity for intimacy and connection, so they can create the lives and relationships they yearn for.

Nina bridges feminine spiritual practice, sacred sexuality, somatic awareness techniques, healing, ritual, and psychology through her unique approach to working with others. Her training and professional background, combined with her lifelong devotion to exploring the mysteries of love and spirit, results in a method that is practical, grounded, and innovative, as well as deeply mystical and evocative of an innate wisdom within.

Rachel Rickards is an international leader in the field of personal transformation, intimacy, embodiment, and relating. Rachel and I met skinny-dipping in Bali in 2015 and she has left an impression on me since! In this episode, we talk about the next frontier in trauma-informed facilitation as well as the opportunities & challenges of multiple beloveds and open relating. 

We discuss:

• The challenge of asking individuals to be self-responsible when in a trauma response & how to create trauma-informed group settings.

• Rachel shares her experience of being in a polyamorous relationship while pregnant and how it affected her beliefs and priorities.

• We discuss open relationships and the challenges that come with it, including the need to slow down and build on successes

• I ask Rachel whether she believes some people have a natural propensity towards open relating, while others may need to work on healing past wounds.

• And so much more!

This is a great episode to tune into if you are interesting in pursuing, or are already on the path of becoming an embodied facilitator or open relating.

Rachel Rickards is an international leader in the field of personal transformation, intimacy, embodiment, and relating. She is a group facilitator extraordinaire, event producer, and a new mother. In 2014 she and Buster Radvik co-founded Embodied Intimacy, which has become one of the most respected organizations globally that offers trainings and events focussed on intimacy, trauma, relational intelligence, somatic education and community. The work of Embodied Intimacy supports hundreds of people each year to come home to themselves, to their body and more regulated nervous systems, and become more of who they truly are. 

Since 2019, Rachel has led the Belly2Belly Facilitator Training after her teacher and mentor, David Cates, passed the torch and CEO position for this work to her. Belly2Belly offers a simple and yet profoundly healing set of embodied and relational practices, which support people to learn to regulate their nervous systems in a way that can be transformational for their relationships. Rachel has single handedly produced and facilitates most of the events with her extraordinary superpowers in the field of event planning and depth in embodied leadership. 

Rachel’s newest passion project launching this year is “The Field Facilitator Training.” This is a revolutionary new experiential learning environment for upcoming group facilitators who are passionate about creating fields of deep group-heart coherence and learning how to facilitate group soul emergence. This requires the development of radically new facilitation skills, such as learning to listen to the group field, collective surrender to the moment, as well as dynamic and fluid collective leadership to support the blossoming of the group soul that is longing to emerge in the space between us. 

Simultaneously, Rachel has just taken on her biggest project to date as a community builder and visionary of Alma Do Solo. With her partner, Lennart Hennig, she has purchased property and is currently in the developmental and visionary phase of creating a regenerative land, and community eco-village on the Azores islands. Their intention is to give birth to an event and education center with a holistic relationship to death at its core.

For many of us, feeling good is EDGY AF. We get stretched into trusting that "it can be this good!". 

In this episode, I coach a woman from my community on how to approach the fear of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" and how to use our body and inner union to support us in periods of growth and goodness.

In this episode, Amir Khalighi and I dive deep into his work with men - helping them find deeper clarity of purpose, interconnectedness, community, and empowerment in their lives - and understanding how that connects to the feminine.

We discuss:

• The responsibility of both men and women in dismantling the system that feeds on performative gender roles

• The challenges men face when connecting to their heart

• The trend of women in their late 30s and 40s desiring family while struggling to find men who are ready to build with them

• The need for men to feel seen, respected, and loved through appreciation

• And so much more!

We often underestimate the mastery involved in subtlety.

In a culture that reveres bold, shiny, in-your-face expression, the power and nuance of subtlety is often missed when it’s actually a sign of deep connection and confidence.

Tune into this episode as Nadia explores this concept more…
