The Goddess Movement

“There IS research now coming out. There ARE things being designed specifically BY vulva-owners FOR vulva-owners so that we can understand our experience. Because for so so long (from my perspective anyway) I always had felt like it wasn't understood or if I had an opinion or if I had something to share about what I was feeling or what I wanted, it wasn’t represented. I felt self-conscious sha...

“We agree to have some sort of existence here. When we land in our skinbags, we can’t remember the infinity of it all once we land here. It’s like going from something that is intensely infinite and trying to contain it into a garbage bag. Like there is no garbage bag big enough that could handle all of it. So when we land here, there is an inkling of it that we can kind of grasp onto, but for the...

“I tend to get spicy when I’m very passionate about something. I think often, particularly as women, we are often told that we are too emotional or the emotional aspect of us makes it uncomfortable for other people and so they want us to tone it down and put it away. I think our society in is general is really awful at dealing with the big emotions like anger, frustration, grief, sadness, all of t...

“When you’re feeling so overwhelmed with all the change that you think needs to happen in the world, start in your own backyard. That’s where you start. Focus there. Because that can oftentimes create some of the biggest and most legacy-producing ripples in the world versus donating to whatever, or moving across the world to fight this – it’s like, those are all valuable things, but so is paying a...

“When I teach movement, I am also the first person to tell you that I am not the expert of this. I do not own this. My way is NOT the highway. It is A way. And I want to share that in the same regard for this podcast. I am simply sharing my own personal experience. Yes, I have some training and I have some background that can lend some structure to what it is that I’m saying. But at the end of the...

“It’s so not cliche. If you are willing to embrace the lessons that are meant for you, there is this beautiful, sweet spot. It’s not that you don't care anymore – it’s that you have enough life experience as a point of reference, to know what is worth your time and energy and what isn't. And I love that you had that multi-generational experience with them, because that is what I feel is mi...

“…that life is just expensive. And so, if we quit trying to fight the base principle that life involves money, and start going – How do I interact with this rule of the game of being human? Now I start to be in a place of possibility. And that is the beautiful gift of thinking about things in a generative lens. Like, what is this bringing me? How can I interact with this in a way that can bring me...

"The minute you have a dream about these things, the universe starts going ‘OOO, now I know where she wants to go, now we’re gonna shake shit up and we’re going to show her how to get there’. Here’s the thing friends – the way the universe works is not usually the way we imagine it.“ TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT: Aryn continues to share her personal stories in Part 2 of this 3-Part series Dis...

“I can release the idea that it has to be perfect. That I have to be the perfect person. That I have to say things just right. And show up at exactly the right timing. And wear just the right thing. And I have to have all of my ducks in a perfect row. That’s the part that I can release – because that part is utterly forgettable. It doesn’t matter.” TODAY ON THE GODDESS MOVEMENT: In part one of thi...

"I'm going to be in the sandbox, and I'm just going to stir some shit around. And I'm going to figure out what happens. And I'm going to learn from that. And just because somebody shows up as being confident doesn't mean that they're not struggling with Imposter Syndrome. And they're going to struggle with it again; every time they expand and do something new. So wi...

"And once they start to embody this understanding of; I want to wear this, I want to move my body like this, I want to find pleasure in this and I desire this. Once that becomes rooted, then it becomes a lot easier to explain to people or to converse with people when they have that combative energy. When they feel threatened and they’re like ‘Who do you think you are?’ Well, now you know who y...

“It means there's a certain level of vulnerability that you have to allow. If I don't know Cass, and I come up to her in the studio, and my desire is to create deep, meaningful connections while I'm there – I have to be willing to put myself at risk for her to not like me, for her to not accept me. I have to be willing to be that vulnerable. Which means there are some layers of that pr...

"I was at one point in time about ten days away from having to shut our doors. Made some hard decisions at that time - again, some of them were unpopular. But it was what carried us through. And a few weeks after that we started to learn that we were going to be able to open our doors and continue classes. And because of everything that transpired and those beautiful, heart wrenching moments a...

"If you jump in, and you keep going, what happens is you become attuned to this expansive space that you are dreaming into. Because there's one thing to dream things into existence, or to dream about them, its a whole other thing to physically bring them through. If you are going to physically bring them through into reality, you best believe there's going to be some things that you ne...

"The more I started to look at that in other women,I was like, oh my goodness this is what's happening. We are all feeling threatened and we feel like there isn't enough love and acceptance and encouragement and desire to go around, so I've got to tear her down so there's more room for me. And once I realized that, it kind of coincided with start of my pole dancing studio, The...
