Kimberly Ann Johnson

Maybe it means a long, slow process or means a different type of experience.

And Kimberly Ann Johnson is someone that I follow a lot on Instagram.

I love her.

She's an author too, and her talk about somatic work and embodiment for women, and even like physicality in terms of exercise and strength-based work, and really being in our power and understanding orgasms as you get older and being like more like waves rather than a peak.

The common thread is embodiment and all the ways that we can become more human and more humane, to love more and to love better.

I'm Kimberly Ann Johnson, and I'm so happy you're here.

Today I have a special guest.

Her name is Dr. Vanessa Calderon.

And I see it so, like, there's so much victimization of the feminine and women just victimizing the things that give us power.

Like, I just spoke to Kimberly Ann Johnson about this.

She's like, "All the things we hate are the feminine parts of us," right? They're the parts of us that give us our femininity, and that's the bits that culture have attacked, and it's this, they're also where our power centers are as women.

And it's like this very tricky thing to start to re-remember what's already there.

I think living in a female body that has a lot of hormonal fluctuations and then learning even more about it is like we realize the extent to which we're getting moved around, and we're not in control of those hormones.

[upbeat music] In this episode of Insights at the Edge, my guest is Kimberly Ann Johnson.

Kimberly is a mother, a sexological body worker, which is a type of somatic sex educator.

She is a yoga teacher, a postpartum advocate, a somatic experiencing practitioner, and a birth doula.

So I get that through, you know, I don't think of it linearly like I don't make a list and say where am I getting touch although maybe some people do but I just am aware of the circumstances that I'm in where I am getting body to body proximity with peers and, uh, women don't tend to train engagement as much and contact and so really noticing that and bringing myself as much as I can into environments where that's happening.

Coming down and in as well as up and out with a circle of humans, person to person, touch to touch.

I've been speaking with Kimberly Ann Johnson.

She's the author of a beautiful new book.

The common thread is embodiment and all the ways that we can become more human and more humane, to love more and to love better.

I'm Kimberly Ann Johnson, and I'm so happy you're here.

Today I have two special guests, Alexandra Pope and Shani Wurlitzer.

You probably already know them because they are the founders of the Red School, the future of feminine spirituality and leadership.

The common thread is embodiment and all the ways that we can become more human and more humane, to love more and to love better.

I'm Kimberly Ann Johnson, and I'm so happy you're here.

olvidada.

Queman tu alma, borran tu huella para tenerte olvidada.

And so people used to just see me and call me Maga Mama.

And then I decided to tattoo the word Maga on my arm, but I didn't tattoo the mama part.

I quite liked having a moniker because, you know, the Kimberly Ann Johnson that's out there in the world is different than the Kimberly Ann Johnson that's not out there in the world.

And so I just, we have this in common that we have this mama part that we took on.

Welcome back to Homestead and Heal.

I am incredibly honored to welcome Kimberly Ann Johnson to our podcast today.

Kimberly, I have admired you for many years, ever since, oh, postpartum with my first baby, and that was 11 years ago or so.

I happened upon your book after having just an incredibly challenging labor and birth of my daughter, and The Fourth Trimester came into my awareness and just really opened my awareness to really new and different ways of approaching postpartum.

The common thread is embodiment and all the ways that we can become more human and more humane, to love more and to love better.

I'm Kimberly Ann Johnson, and I'm so happy you're here.

Today, I have a very special guest, Dr. Shafia Monroe.

You probably have already heard of her listening to this podcast.

Hi everyone, welcome back to the Body of Wisdom podcast.

I am so excited to welcome Kimberly Ann Johnson back to the podcast today.

I've actually interviewed her over on the Superface podcast, and I'll link that interview into the show notes.

Kimberly is an absolute weapon.

And I had kind of put different things in there.

And then...

I decided to write the book that went with the Activate Your Inner Jaguar after the Me Too and then just really the female nervous system.

But sexuality has always been a common thread underneath what I'm doing because I took the sexological bodywork training in Australia in 2015 before.
