S10E8 - Embodied (Witchy) Business with Rachael Maddox

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

2021 was the year of my (mini) professional crisis.

There were big decisions to make, and I was feeling deeply confused about the direction I wanted to grow in professionally & with our school.

What kind of business (& life) did I want to have? Did I want to blow up my creation?

It took me a long time to find a mentor to help me navigate what was right, for me.

I wanted someone who worked in deeply embodied ways. Someone who would support me if I decided to throw in the towel & make the decision to destroy my creation. And also someone who was a little bit magic.

Somehow (I think it was the power of Instagram) Rachael Maddox entered my life.

She’d just closed her own Coaching School down (to begin a conception journey) and was making some radical changes in her business model. She was EMBODIED AF. And supported CEOs. We started working together - and I’ve loved her since.

Recently I spoke with Rachael as part of our The Future Is Embodied Conference. Our conversation was a dive into the ethics of embodied business & how Rachael navigates her work as a witch & mentor.

It was such a rich conversation I wanted to bring it to you today, in the hopes you find some “unconventional” courage to follow your path (whatever that is) to the best version of your work in the world.

Of course, I didn’t close down our school, or decide to blow anything up in the end. Which is what I love so much about EMBODIMENT work. It’s an invitation to find YOUR body's truth. Which won’t look the same as anyone else. What’s right for you won’t be right for them. But holding space for ALL the possibilities, even the wild & witchy ones remains something I hold as so valuable.
