Embody: Energetic Transmissions w/ Briana Villegas

So continue to immerse yourself in the energy and frequency that is expanding you because the shift toward your authentic...

In this episode, Briana reflects on a baby shower affirmation that turned into a bigger truth: life is going to unfold no matter what. You can resist it, brace for it, martyr yourself through it; OR surrender and play with it. And there is no morally superior way to move through life because the reality is whatever you are experiencing is what you are (consciously or subconsciously) getting the mo...

The mixed messages aren’t in your body. They are in your mind. In this episode, I invites you to stop filtering your experience through story and language, and instead drop into raw sensation.

I’m literally buzzing from this one! In this episode, I explore the part of being human that is neutral to sensation. The part that finds heartbreak, uncertainty, chaos, and intensity just as compelling as joy and success.
