Episode 296: Dan Doty is a visionary entrepreneur, speaker, consultant, and the co-founder and voice of EVRYMAN. Dan is the host of the EVRYMAN podcast, and the former director of cult hit tv show MeatEater. He has been a 3-time guest on the Joe Rogan Experience, and twice on the Today Show. His role with EVRYMAN has been featured in the NYT, Men's Health, GQ, and many more national and international publications. Dan is a man’s man with a well-developed tender side. Dan Doty embodies the ability for men to be exactly who they are, and is sharing that message that there are as many definitions of manhood as there are men on the planet. Show notes: Blending "Work You" with "Real You": Episode here: https://maddymoon.com/blending/  Why we all need to forget the need to be “good”. Doing the things that make you come alive, is what makes more of you available for love and life.  Fear is your thermometer for how close you’re getting to the thing you need to do in your life. My invitation to you is to dare to fail.  So often we don’t do the thing we want to do because we don’t want to feel the feeling underneath that. Why Dan Doty doesn’t use the phrase “men’s work.” How to bring this energy into our family dynamics so that we don't push them away. How Dan Doty got to the place where he no longer blames his father. Distinguishing between fault vs responsibility. One of the most powerful ways to get to a man is by being an example of someone they respect. "Men are fragile." How Dan navigates being the protector to being open with his feelings/emotionally available.  Reevaluating why we need protection from men — why are we putting pressure on men to protect us? What mothers and fathers need to be aware of for their little boys. How can we as parents slow down enough and unhook our agendas and allow our kids to have their own truth to come through? How to show the full spectrum of healthy emotions. "Partners use each other way too much as therapists - you need to have your own space to do your deep work." "Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden" article: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a27259689/toxic-masculinity-male-friendships-emotional-labor-men-rely-on-women/ Repression of emotions and isolation are pandemics in our society.

Psychedelics as Medicine with Will Siu

Episode 294:  Do you have a hard time owning and blending all of the parts and pieces that make up you? If so, you're not alone. Many of us shut down the parts of us that we don't think are appropriate for the current situation we're in. We feel uncomfortable wearing red lipstick to the office. We feel shameful for having pics of our gurus on our desk for fear if someone sees them and thinks we're a weirdo. We hide our truest self, every single day. Here's the thing — doing the thing and being seen doing it, liberates you. And more importantly, it makes you more available to love and to be loved. More of you is available. By connecting to all of the parts and pieces that make you, you... you soften something in your body that simply becomes magnetic. Blending the feminine and masculine energies of who you truly are makes you electric. Because at the end of the day, it's YOU who thinks you're too snobbish. It's YOU who thinks too loud. It's YOU who thinks you're too intelligent. It's YOU who thinks you're the black sheep. The moment you realize those truths, you can't turn back. You all a sudden know that if you think that, then it is up to YOU to make a choice to change it. All a sudden you're responsible and everything is in your hands. This is where healing gets done — when you reveal a part of you that you've been hiding for all of these years. This episode will teach you how to own who you are and the importance of blending the "work" you with the "real" you. Show notes: Madelyn’s juicy, seductive ritual of letting pleasure lead her for 24 hours. Madelyn's favorite toy - her cervix wand: https://bit.ly/2SK5a5X Blending your energies — how can I be a feminine embodied creature while also running a masculine business? Why Madelyn is over the traditional business hustle and the discouraging feeling of overwhelm.  “It’s up to me to allow myself to step back.” “Let your feminine heart - your yearning to let go, to run the show for a bit.” How to start training your masculine with meditation and breathwork. How to create harmony where you have a choice in what energy (masculine/feminine) you lead with.  The reframe with feeling judged and how to release those stories that we tell ourselves. How to create more ownership to make a different, more empowering choice.  Fun fact: Egypt is the #1 feminine country. The sobering thought that you are going to pass and how Madelyn uses it as the biggest motivating factor. “Any outward focus is you’re really trying to numb the inward experience.” More of you is available to love and be loved when you’re taking ownership of your desires.  When you connect your heart to your yoni lips something softens in your body that is magnetic.  How to become more available and open yourself to all the versions of you. “You can’t truly love all that life provides if you can’t love all that you provide.” “Everything is a reflection — start taking ownership of that reflection.” The Embodied Retreat with Jamie Wollrab: maddymoon.com/events Connect with Maddy:  Facebook: https://facebook.com/moonfitness/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/madelynmoon/ Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes: http://maddymoon.com/itunes Download my Four Favourite Feminine Embodiment Practices: https://maddymoon.com/freegift [Tweet "You can't truly love all that life provides if you can't love all that you provide. #divinefeminine #mindbodymusings"] COACHING: receive personalized, 1:1 coaching from Maddy Moon to create your own feminine and masculine embodiment.

Blending “Work You” with “Real You”

Episode 293: John Wineland, a Los Angeles based relationship coach, speaker and teacher has been guiding both men and women in the realms of life purpose, relational communication, sexual intimacy and embodiment for over a decade. John's clients include entrepreneurs, leading thinkers in the world of personal development and entertainment, Ted speakers and creative leaders in Hollywood. John brings a multi-faceted approach, which is both energetic and highly practical, to his workshops and experiential coaching sessions. John's embodiment-driven teaching draws from not only over 30 years experience of his own Buddhist meditative practice, but from 10 years intensive study and practice with renowned Yogic Intimacy teacher, David Deida.

How he avoids writer's block. How he keeps his nervous system clean so he can be a vessel. An example of being embodied while being scared of abandonment. "Yogic revealing" How does it feed the masculine to see the range of the feminine? Why would I show a man my ditsy, fun side when I’m supposed to be strong - what if I look dumb? Why being in your head and being analytical is not being embodied. “Embodiment at its core is really a journey into who you are. That’s why people are craving it.” Taboo definition - the dark sexual energy and examples - dirty talk, cutting, defilement, bondage. We all have some dark sexual energy - it’s been repressed in most of us. The gifts that our taboos can teach us. Madelyn reveals her taboo. “Defiling with love” “Sex is the deepest yoga.” "When you activate and open your heart, you then practice into the darker realms and a clearing will take place." How do we know when it’s time to leave a relationship? John's stance on dating and dating apps. The big mistake people make is that they don’t spend time alone and develop their gifts and their capacity to be with themself. "When you become full and radiant with your feminine expression, you don't need a dating app." "If you can’t be alone, then you can’t be in a relationship."

Fantasy, Taboo and Being Generous in Love with John Wineland

Episode 292: Madelyn Moon plants her feet and deepens her breath for this episode on embodied confrontation with your loved ones. She starts this episode by expressing how to access the Universe's bank account and that there's absolutely no limit to the amount of money or love that you can have in your life unless YOU are creating an upper limit for yourself. And if you think that you are, she shares some resources to bust through your self-imposed limits. She talks about how to allow love outside of marriage and why the "choose-no-man" masculine cleanse she did led her to a deeper understanding of deep intimacy — an intimacy with those she doesn't even personally know.  She's playing with how much love she can let in, as well as the many different types of love there is. She invites you to do the same. How much more love can you let in? She discusses her top 5 ego-busting tools for embodied confrontation. Being disembodied is what leads to explosions, resentments, passive-aggressiveness and fear. Things get messy when we're not in our bodies. We make up stories in our heads about what something does or doesn't mean and our ego revs up. These tips are sure to help you handle conflict with more ease and grace moving forward.

Without judgment.  The importance of physical and emotional check-ins. "Being disembodied is what leads to explosions, resentments, passive-aggressiveness and fear. We fight when we're not in our bodies." When someone shares something with you, begin to ask yourself, "where is this true?" This dissolves your ego stance.  “I’m making up a story that…" Most of the time people are not taking ownership of their frustration. When someone is sharing with you, simply say, "tell me more."

You don’t have to sacrifice everything to be an actor. How to determine what will set you apart as a coach or an actor. Am I too old to be an actor? "You are so much more powerful at creating your path of an actor than what you think." The limiting beliefs and stories that actors tell themselves “If it feels good, do it.” The fear-based herd mentality actor info that’s prevalent. Personality is 90% of the performance. “Show people what they didn’t know what they wanted yet.”   Acting is you under the influence of the character.

The #1 Way to Book Your Dream Role at Any Age with Joseph Pearlman

Episode 288: Madelyn Moon reveals how to stop withholding and instead tenderly share your truth and heart with someone so that it is meant with love and understanding. Often times when we have something to share that hurts us, we clam up and withhold the information because we don't want to hurt the other person. If we do decide to express our truth, we often become defensive and quickly blame the other for causing us pain. However, there is another way — a much more tender, self-expressing, beautiful way that will get our point across much more gently for both parties involved. Madelyn explains how a recent situation in her life allowed her to exercise this unfoldment with more love and truth than ever before. Show notes: Why Madelyn is making investments in her creativity. "Money is a currency—it is a current. When you spend it, you open up a door for it to come back." How to believe that the universe wants you to succeed. Your “belief leaps.” Joy is something you can experience at any time....even through heartbreak. How to stop withholding your truth. What does “withholding” mean? Madelyn’s personal example with withholding information from her partner. What is the line between expressing something for the betterment of the relationship and hurting the relationship? "There is a way to share your heart that is not blaming/shaming someone, but revealing the truth of your heart." 3 Stages of Communication Podcast Episode Here: https://maddymoon.com/david-deida/ Revealing is a gift to your masculine partner. If you feel hurt by something he’s doing unconsciously and you refuse to tell him, you will continue to be hurt and the world will hurt as well.  We train people how to treat us.  Your oracle is a gift so stop withholding.  Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg https://amzn.to/2FLvTaS The specific phrase to let someone know how they hurt your heart.  How to take responsibility for not revealing this before.

How to Stop Withholding What Hurts You

Episode 287: Debra Silverman is part astrologer, part psychologist, part comedian, and ALL REAL. She helps people turn on their own inner observer, to see the things they say and do in a totally objective way. Debra has been in private practice for over 40 years. She uses astrology and her own system called the The 4 Elements (or 4E for short) as tools to help people step into their power. Debra’s mothering approach to understanding and empowering people from all walks of life has earned her international fame and admiration. She has written a book, magazine columns, hosted a radio show and has a YouTube channel with over 7 million views. She is dedicated to creating community and working for the children. Debra Silverman believes the future is arriving and none of us can do it alone. She is an expert in embracing the feminine, and her ultimate dream is to revolutionize therapy by teaching therapists how to provide custom treatment to their clients.

Show notes: Why we’re feeling blocked from our creative outlet and what to do about it. 2020 as a year of creativity. What is music therapy? “When we’re involved in a musical process, our entire brain comes online. When we’re engaged in the creative music process, all of us is turned on. We’re designed to process music in a way that puts us all together.” - Marya Stark  What do you think we’re healing when we’re doing ancestral work and womb wisdom clearing? The importance of connecting to the song of our female bodies.  The deep polarization with the masculine and feminine. How as women do we call forth the masculine to be guided and led? “The great work that women get to do is deeply steep in this womb clearing because that’s what clears our energetic signature of resentments, misalignments around our own voice and boundaries.” - Marya Stark How does one do the womb clearing if they don’t know what happened in their feminine lineage? How she creates personal, creative space for herself. The power behind her stay-at-home retreats — how she conducts these retreats and the significance of resetting her body.

I am head over heels that you are choosing to listen to the mind body musings podcasts to start out this new decade. Not only that, this is the first episode of the mind body musings podcast for this decade, and I chose to release the episode I did with Mikaal Bates for this new year, because we are talking about a topic that is also fairly new to a lot of people. We're talking about a subject, or even an idea that is really new to a lot of people and that is polyamorous relationships. We also talk about a man's intuition something you very rarely hear about, as well as being in the stillness to allow the energy that wants to come forward in your life; come forward rather than forcing it just simply sitting and ...

Lessons from Years of Polyamory with Mikaal Bates

Episode 284: In this episode, Madelyn Moon leads you through a sacred embodiment practice for deep pleasure and release. Many of us are walking around all day completely disconnected—chest tight or caved, poor posture, drifting off into space, completely in our head. This embodiment practice will help you connect to Mama Earth, to yourself, to your pleasure.  Madelyn’s pleasurable embodiment practice is as simple as getting on your mat for a few minutes each day. It’s through this exact pleasure practice that Madelyn is able to feel the most and to heal the most. Her daily healing practice was more helpful for her than therapy, so she’s delighted to share it with you today. Show notes: This episode is a taste of the Feminine Spirit School. You can sign up here: http://maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit “Because I go so deep into the darkness, so much space is created for the light. The deeper you go, the freer you are with the thing that’s been repressed." Why doing work with your Feminine will bring you more abundance. Sometimes the best phase to say is: “I’m sorry. I'm scared. I care for you.” When you combine all the sounds (moaning, crying, wailing, screaming, lion’s breath) - you clear out the channel to be able to communicate. Going into the angrier pieces of your life allows space for the loving things to be said.  Why Madelyn doesn’t believe in spiritual bypassing.  What can you tighten in order to get into a state of relaxation?

No matter what you are feeling this week, maybe you're not feeling any, like; I also need to consider some people do not have this holiday at all. So maybe you do not have this holiday at all Christmas and everything is fine and dandy but still, regardless if you're in any three of these categories or one that I have not...

Guided Pleasure Practice for Women

Episode 283: Dominick Quartuccio is an international speaker, executive coach to high-performing men and women in burnout-rich environments. Dominick is an outspoken leader of men doing inner work and co-hosts The Great Man Within Podcast, a high-performing man’s guide to personal development…which ironically has an audience 50% comprised of women. His live event series, The Discerning Dick: Sexual Wisdom for the Modern Man also attracts an audience of 50% women…who want to support men doing inner work in their sexual lives. He is the author of Design Your Future, 3 Steps to Stop Drifting and Take Command of Your Life. Dominick Quartuccio runs both men’s retreats and women’s retreats for those looking to intentionally design the next decade of their lives. Dominick’s work has been featured in the NY Times, NPR’s All Things Considered and on the TEDx stage. Show notes: We don’t want to close our hearts. We don’t want to nag. We don’t want to complain. We don’t thrive in states of chronic closure. Madelyn's Instagram post: https://instagram.com/p/B5qH9UbnRhA/ “If a man cannot stand up to her, he cannot stand up for her—and she will feel that.” - Dominick Quartuccio “I believe that women are so entirely equal in all value that nothing is taken from us if we choose to surrender to man—not by someone who is unconscious, or in an unsafe container, but by the chosen man.” Why Dominick's romantic partners have been calling for his “dark side.” "Women want to feel your open heart, but they don’t want a soft man. When you just open your heart and not become the conscious warrior, then she loses respect for you— maybe she still loves you, she just doesn’t want to fuck you." The trend with women stepping into more of their feelings. Who Dominick works with: men who are “publicly decorated and privately confused” and women who are successful in male-dominated businesses.

To bring the balance back, really feel into what is and just listen. How to know the difference between intuition and resistance of doing the work. Any time we set a goal, it’s the feeling that we’re after. If you’re not clear on your feeling with what you’re going after, the very thing that you’re going after may leave you feeling empty. “Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure.” (Masculine without the Feminine is the failure.)

Making Your Love Darker and Your Goals Lighter with Dominick Quartuccio

Episode 282: Madelyn Moon discusses how to gently reveal the feminine so you can create and embody all the juicy relationships that you desire. Madelyn discloses how to do this using humor, tenderness, and her favorite, sexuality. The feminine must learn how to reveal her energy and emotions in a way that’s connected to her heart. Revealing your feminine and embodying more heartfelt energy allows the masculine to go deeper, leading to the polarized relationship that so many yearn for.  This episode also discusses the power of setting ground rules and boundaries. It’s important during this busy time of year to have your practices to help you move through the chaotic energy and just chill the f*ck out. Madelyn reminds you to sit with your thoughts, energy and emotions, and become comfortable with the ebb and flow of this time of year. Show notes: “Revealing your feminine is having an outward and inward demonstration of your emotional current moment to moment.” Feel it in your body first if you want to feel more of your feminine. Touch your yoni; touch your breasts to create more femininity.  The most powerful movements that will help to reveal the feminine.  Why do we want to reveal our feminine? “If you turn off your grief, you also turn off our joy.” Stop robbing people from their own joy of doing something for you.  Your ability to feel things is of service to the masculine in the world. The deeper you go into your feminine, the more he’ll go into his masculine. “Husband” your feminine.  “The feminine must learn how to reveal her energy/emotions in a way that’s connected to her heart.” Rather than complaining and using words, use embodiment—use sounds. 3 stages of communication with David Deida episode: https://maddymoon.com/david-deida/ Revealing your feminine involves humor, tenderness, sexuality. "If you want to be in a polarized relationship, be willing to do something out of the box, out of the name of love." Be the one to open first when you really want to close. Use less words. We can get more of what we want without using words. Giving what we so desperately want is the best way for him to give you what you want. Why Madelyn no longer uses sarcasm.  Remain unattached completely.  Reveal your feminine joy. There’s no glory in being a martyr.  Notice if you set him up to fail before you give him a chance Notice how he shows up as a reflection of you - “out feminine him” Hold the pose - do it more and more and more.
