Into The Wild 313. Reclaiming Pleasure, Relationship Reckoning, and Redefining Success with Alexi Panos
Your most difficult emotions are not to be ignored.
Alexi Panos is a leader in the embodied wisdom movement as well as an expert in somatics, the nervous system, and trauma. She hosts the top-ranked self-improvement podcast Unleashed, and also founded the non-profit E.P.I.C. (Everyday People Initiating Change).
Alexi emphasizes being open enough to feel the beauty of life—even when that brings the pain of grief too. Our pain-averse society is used to avoiding feeling tough emotions, but there is so much to gain on the other side. If you're feeling stuck in trauma and you're ready to let go, finding a trusted person to hold that space with you (and love you through it) can change everything.
In this episode, you will learn about:
- The grief portal Alexi went through and why it was so intense.
- Why motherhood is an initiation that nothing else can really compare to.
- How being sanitized from grief has influenced society (and why it needs to change).
- What happens when we bury our feelings in the darkness or shame our emotions.
- What must be true in order to safely release trauma and be in the present moment.
- How to stop striving for what you want and start magnetizing it.
- Why finding pleasure is the key to growing your business (and simply enjoying life).
- The tendency for women to hold "invisible labor" and how it creates resentment.
- Ideas for working with your partner to divide labor fairly.
- Why finding pleasure is one of the most productive things you can do.
What it means to be a wild woman:
- The freedom to grieve, expand, and exist without worrying about anyone else.
