For the first time on Trust on Purpose, Ila and Charles welcome a guest to share in a discussion about trust. Amanda Blake is an expert in the domains of body awareness and body coaching and author of “Your Body is Your Brain: Leverage Your Somatic Intelligence to Find Purpose, Build Resilience, Deepen Relationships and Lead More Powerfully.” This first part of a 2-part episode dives into what it means to listen to and trust, what our bodies tell us, and why we should pay attention. The trio discusses how having embodied intelligence (I think this is what she called it) is a distinguishing feature of outstanding leaders and how we can become more aware of our body’s signals.We want to thank the team that continues to support us in producing, editing and sharing our work. Jonah Smith for the heartfelt intro music you hear at the beginning of each podcast. We LOVE it. Hillary Rideout for writing descriptions, designing covers and helping us share our work on social media. Chad Penner for his superpower editing work to take our recordings from bumpy and glitchy to smooth and easy to listen to episodes for you to enjoy. From our hearts, we are so thankful for this team and the support they provide us.
