192: Kendra Adachi: How does your relationship to food affect your relationship to life?
Kendra Adachi is walking a path of deep service to awaken a remembrance of the divinity within while encouraging connection with the divinity around us. She practices reverence for the body and its erotic nature through emotional, physical, and spiritual modalities and feels our consumption is a choice that creates expansion or depletion.
As a certified health coach with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/36Ctqhr), having completed the four levels of personal development through Integrity Seminars (click here to learn more: https://bit.ly/39A3HrJ), and having the gift of experiencing depression and mental illness, she has chosen to love her unique story and utilize its lessons to support others on their journey.
Kendra is in service to opening and receiving the nutrients of life that support expansion in sovereignty and the divine connection with the wisdom within. She believes in the power of approval of our creative erotic pulse and is devoted to reminding women and men that their unapologetic sexual expression (held responsibly) is a powerful medicine the world needs.
She holds space for women and men as a conduit to reconnect with their erotic truth through 1-1 mentorship and group containers. She believes the body is a sacred guide and that as we choose to worship it with acceptance, approval, and permission, we become unwavering in our agency and sovereignty. Kendra believes in honoring our true appetite and savoring life, that food is an extension of our divine experience. She's leading a movement where women are coming together to dismantle the narratives that have starved us and reclaim our innate hunger and satiation with our bodies, expression, and primal power. Email Kendra at hello@adachikendra.com to learn more.

189: Vienna Pharaon - Can you break family patterns and liberate the way you live and love?
Vienna Pharaon is a licensed marriage and family therapist and one of New York City’s most sought-after relationship therapists. She has practiced therapy for more than fifteen years and is the founder of the group practice Mindful Marriage and Family Therapy.
She received her master of science in marriage and family therapy from Northwestern University and trained extensively at The Family Institute, Bette D. Harris Family & Child Clinic. Pharaon has been featured in The Economist, Vice, and Motherly and has led workshops for Peloton and Netflix, among others. She currently lives in Upstate New York with her husband and son.
THE ORIGINS OF YOU is her first book, and it zeroes in on our Families of Origin, the early caregivers who provided the first lessons on everything from love and conflict to safety, communication, and trust. There’s no guarantee that the education our Family of Origin (FOO) provides us will be healing or even functional; to be sure, families frequently miss the mark in significant ways, creating wounds, beliefs, or behaviors that are reflected in the life choices or relationships we choose as adults. Vienna traces a direct line from present-day behaviors that limit us back to the family systems in which we were raised. But she doesn't stop there. She also:
Unlocks a healing process to help us fully understand the family dynamics and dysfunctions that created what she calls “origin wounds.” We all have some version of these wounds; some are difficult to identify, and others can be hard to manage.
Identifies the five most common wounds that derail us in subtle and not-so-subtle ways—wounds that, if left untended, can leave us questioning our worthiness; yearning to belong; longing to feel prioritized by others; unable to trust; or lacking safety. But our origin stories truly can be the road map to healing, once we’re willing to really look.
Illuminates the practical work needed to heal them and leave behind the limiting beliefs and behaviors that don’t serve us through personal and client stories, tested frameworks for difficult conversations, and invaluable guided introspection.
Teaches us vital techniques like how to pivot—that critical moment when we replace unconscious programming with a new pattern of behavior to better serve our needs—and to respond with understanding instead of with hyperreactivity, turning conflict into connection.
