I’m really excited to be joined by three of my amazing clients to talk about integrating their desires and embodied experiences into their own unique visions for their lives & businesses.  Merrilee, Michel, Louise and I had a really fascinating conversation about why desire can feel dangerous or unattainable for some of us and what happens to our vision when we are cut off from desire. Each of my guests talks about her own journey to reconnecting with desire and what it feels like to tap into that incredible source of energy. We also talk about why it is brave to pivot away from a vision that no longer serves you and how the feminine lens allows us to approach our vision as an ever-changing thing that reflects our evolving priorities and desires.

Welcome back to our month all about desire + vision! This week I wanted to explore the physical aspects of desire with our resident mental health expert Laura Shook-Guzman. In this episode, we explore the physical sensations that accompany desire and why they are different for each of us. We also dive into the growing understanding in psychology of the links between the mind and the body and what to look for as you get in touch with your own core desires. Laura and I also share our own experiences with desire, sensation and vision, talk about why desire is our most powerful creative fuel, and why it is easier to sustain your vision when desire forms the foundation.

Here we are at the dawn of a new year!  This month, we are diving into the relationship between desire and vision. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding around how to create a vision, and if you are someone who struggles to actually make your vision come to life, the feminine lens has a completely different perspective on vision to offer you. I will talk about why desire is the key ingredient for a truly aligned vision, how to tap into your core desires, and why it is so common for women to skip over this important step.

I’m so honored to have the amazing Sunshine Kamaloni on The Feminine Lens™ with me this week! Sunshine is a doctor, author and racial equity consultant. We have worked together on her business, so I have had a front row seat watching her journey of learning to balance a very logical, masculine perspective with the introspection and creation of the feminine lens.  We talk about the process of opening up to a more feminine approach and how these two energies complement each other so beautifully when they are brought into balanced alignment. We also talk about the intersections of identity that make embodying the feminine different for people of different races and why empathy is such a critical ingredient for long-lasting social & personal transformation.

I have been spending the first few episodes of the podcast outlining the foundations of this perspective before diving into deep exploration. (Make sure you check out last week’s episode about why the world needs this perspective if you missed it!) This time I want to dig into what makes it so worthwhile to get back in touch with the feminine. To do that, I’ve brought back the wonderful Laura Shook-Guzman, my dear friend, co-host and entrepreneurial soulmate.  In this episode we talk about how we keep a feminine approach at the forefront of our lives and businesses. We spend quite a bit of time exploring worthiness and why the masculine lens leaves a lot of women feeling innately inadequate (and men, too!).  Come learn more about The Feminine Lens™, my work and my amazing business program at sonyastattmann.com. 

Why is it so important for the world to embrace a feminine lens? I jumped right into this new podcast with some amazing conversations about how the feminine lens can be used, but I thought it was important to go back and answer this fundamental question.  Throughout the month of December we’ll be talking about how the feminine lens can help us transform ourselves and the world around us. In this episode, I’m breaking down the definitions of “feminine” and “masculine” and why these concepts are so distorted in our culture. We will talk about why one is valued over the other, how this imbalance negatively impacts everything, and a way forward that brings these energies back into alignment.

I am so honored that my first guest on the podcast is the amazing Jessica Care Moore, the founder and CEO of Moore Black Press, executive producer of Black WOMEN Rock!, and founder of the literacy-driven Jess Care Moore Foundation.  Jessica is an internationally renowned and award-winning poet, author, playwright, performance artist and producer. She joined me to talk about her newest book, We Want Our Bodies Back, which is a poetry collection that speaks to Black women’s creative and intellectual power and expresses the pain, sadness, and anger of those who suffer constant scrutiny because of their gender and race.  In the interview we talk about Jessica’s incredible life story, including how she discovered her voice as a poet thanks to some of the trailblazing women that came before her.  Come learn more about The Feminine Lens™, my work and my amazing business program at sonyastattmann.com. 

Our mental health has shown itself to be more important than ever this year as we have learned to navigate a global pandemic. This is a topic that I think desperately deserves more attention, care and redefinition.   In this episode I’m joined by the wonderful Laura Shook Guzman, who is a somatic therapist, my former business partner and the co-host of my other podcast. You’ll be seeing a lot of her here on The Feminine Lens™, so we thought it would be great to start with a core question that we will revisit often: how can we redefine mental health from a feminine lens? We touch on the unique ways that mental health challenges can impact women in both business and family life, and we also discuss the importance of having these conversations, reducing the stigma and opening dialogues about mental health.

As a woman, how often are you striving to be more? How often are you striving to improve your weaknesses? How often are you striving to accomplish, to achieve, to define yourself in words like ‘success’ that have been written by the patriarchy? In this episode I’m flying solo to talk about the process of reclaiming ourselves. We will talk about how we get lost and how we can find our way back to ourselves. We will talk about how reclaiming ourselves will make us better business owners, leaders, and all-around people. And we will talk about why getting in touch with our desire is so central to this process of reclamation.
