What if your greatest obstacle isn’t a lack of talent but unwillingness to fail?

In this episode, we explore why Leo season invites us to stop hiding, embrace imperfect action, and trust the unfolding of the creative process. If you’ve been holding back because of imposter syndrome, fear of failure, or perfectionism, this conversation is for you.

I share why every meaningful offering must first be created before it can be refined, using the evolution of Moon Temple as a living example. We also journey through the moon phases as a map for creativity, exploring how every project naturally moves through initiation, challenge, refinement, and eventual illumination.

In this episode you’ll discover:

Why confidence comes after taking action.
How to move through fear of failure and imposter syndrome.
The difference between creating and refining your work.
What the moon’s phases teach us about the creative process.
A simple practice to help you stop waiting and begin today.

Whether you’re building a business, making art, writing, or following your soul’s work, this episode is an invitation to let your inner creator lead even before you feel ready.

If this conversation resonates, I’d love to hear what landed for you. Leave a review, share the episode with a friend, or connect with me to let me know what you’re creating this Leo season.

In this illuminating Dark Moon episode I share the secret to letting go of things you don't want.

Discover how embracing what you wish to let go of can lead to transformative rebirth.

Dive into the metaphorical womb of the dark moon as we navigate the cyclical rhythms of life, finding wisdom in the very things we seek to let go of.

Whether you're yearning for change or seeking peace, this episode offers insights into how opening to the unknown can cultivate fertile ground for new beginnings. Tune in and embark on a journey of empowerment and renewal.

What if your fear and hesitation isn’t a sign that something is wrong, but instead a sign of life returning?

In this episode, we explore the trembling that arises on the path of transformation.

How to distinguish fear-as-protection from fear-as-awakening, and how to meet both with somatic awareness and devotion.

A meandering path of sitting in the presence of ancestors and future generations whilst swimming in the Piscean waters.

This is for all of us who grieve the state of the world, and who love nature so deeply it hurts. All of us who stand in awe of the magnificence of all that exist.

We are not alone in this. In the remembering of our interconnectedness we can devote ourselves to a beautiful future.

It’s time to take courageous steps in the direction that is in alignment with your soul’s longing and away from that which you have outgrown.

I’ll share the most important things here:

Don’t let anyone else dictate the timing of your growth, capacity, and creative process.
Reach out to and listen to the spirits that are there to support you, there to support your soul expressing its genius.
Don’t be afraid to try things, to fail, make mistakes, to look like a fool. Let yourself explore, play, and make bad ”art” aka garbage.
Take risks! But make sure they are your edge, not someone else’s. What is just out of reach for you, that you can almost touch with your finger tips, that YOU WANT to move closer to? Go there. If you don’t know—it is time to find out.
Body work, somatic work, boundary work first—mindset work later.

The gift of meandering is that it takes you into relationship with the deeper currents of life, the currents that guide you where you are meant to go.

Meandering is to keep you eyes and ears softly open so that you can receive the gold, the medicine, that wants to be expressed through you.

Winter Musings is an opportunity to withdraw into the darker times of the year togehter.

It is a time for meandering and musing.

When you loose focus you also loose energy.

You know you have lost focus when everything is a chaos and nothing seems to get done even if you are constantly doing.

This episode is also story time...a story of loosing and regaining energy, drive, and ambition.

The current state of the world is a symptom of an epidemic of soul loss.

How do we collectively heal the disconnect?

How do we, together, reach for something greater than us?

There is a common misconception in modernized yoga systems that the exhale is the passive, the yin, and the inhale is the active, yang.

In this episode I investigate that and how it effects your relationship with relaxation and expression.

In nondual Śaiva Tantra there is more to this…

…if you are curious…stay tuned, I will get to that.

There is nothing wrong with you for experiencing inner criticism, and…

…if you feel that it is getting in your way, hindering you from exploring what you desire to explore and express…

…this episode gives you a few practices to begin to alchemize inner criticism into authentic expression.

A trigger is like a strike of lighting, it touches into unexpressed or coiled up aliveness in you.A trigger can be an opportunity to befriend the sensations of that aliveness.And, there’s a lot of nuance to this.To be able to do this there has to be adequate support to be able to experience the sensations of that aliveness and to allow it to move through body.One part of that support is something or someone that grounds, earths, and anchors that energy.Just like electricity needs to be earthed, needs to touch ground, to be able to flow - so does body.Touching Ground3 experiential embodiment sessionsJune 4-18Come explore, move, play, create - it will be a pleasure to have you there ⚡️https://www.lindanenne.com/touching-groundFind me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindanenne.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lindanenne/message
