THE EMBODHIED WELLVOLUTION

The women we care about most are suffering, isn't it time we do something about it? Embodhied's mission is to silence claims by our dieting culture that skinny equals happy or unhappy means broken. You're an important part of this movement for a wellness revolution and evolution. Before you start hyperventilating over more responsibility, know that it's easy to be a catalyst for change. All you have to do is agree to live a compelling and inspirational life. Some simple ideas:

  • Read, share and discuss Embodhied blog posts
  • Savor life, remembering things to be loved, celebrated and nurtured
  • Nourish your curiosity, creativity and deepest desires
  • Lead with womankindess for yourself and others
  • Celebrate emotions other than fine, ok, great

  • Join an Embodhied event or schedule 1:1 time with Jenn
