The Edge Podcast

Let’s get real for a moment and speak to the elephant in the room. The coaching industry has been a bit of a hot mess lately. I know many want to dismiss the entire coaching industry… It’s a cult! It’s a big ole’ MLM And others are holding on to dear life to their old school sales & marketing tactics What recession? ANYONE can manifest millions! The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle. Coaching is a potent modality for transformation, Anddddd….. The industry has some pretty gnarly, out-dated practices that are no longer relevant and have harmed many. Both are true. This is a sweet + short solo podcast. It is the introduction to the FREE panel series I am hosting Nov 8 - 10 called A New Chapter in the Coaching Industry: How Can We Do Better? https://nadiamunla.com/anc/ These conversations were some of the deepest I have ever had. period.

In this episode, I sit down with Nina Lombardo, teacher & mentor to women who are looking to embody their most authentic spiritual and sexual expressions.           We debunk myths + misconceptions about many different polarity + embodiment teachings such as: - How being “Devotional” does not mean being a “doormat” - The difference between being devotional to get love vs. doing DESPITE not getting love - We unpack a beautiful quote I found of hers online that hit me to the core: “When a man trusts his woman to hold herself, he becomes free and can love her as a king instead of a daddy” - The weaponizing of  “I’m just being feminine” or “I’m just holding a boundary” - And lots more! Nina’s embodiment of love is inspiring on so many levels.

In the last coaching episode of the season, I work with someone from my community on how to: - Be both the holder and the one being held - How to use this to not drown in her own grief and the weight of heartache - How to somatically oscillate between both perspectives to help the crunchiness she was feeling in her heart and bring more fluidity, love and space back into her experience. This is a great episode if you want to master dual perspectives and work deeply in an energetic & somatic space in moments of intense emotion or inner critic thoughts.  –- Interested in getting mentored by Nadia?

So many women share with me their experience of feeling used, taken advantage of and then tossed away. In this episode, which I was literally woken up to record (at 5am!), I explore: - The shadow of extraction that exists in our society today  - The way in which both men and women are contributing to keeping this energy alive. - And how the soil of our relationships is identical and fractal to the soil of the earth. If we want to create a truly sustainable and loving reciprocal relationship with the earth, we have to start with our individual relationships.  — Loving Transitions Event with Chris Bale & Nadia Munla Oct 7 @ 12pm EST  To register: https://www.awakenedintent.com/events/loving-transitions  Watching this after Oct 7?

In this (very somatic-based) coaching episode, I coach someone in my community through a few embodiment exercises that helps her disarm the mechanism of “holding it all together” and instead work with evoking and sensing the support of the divine masculine. We explore: The difference between internal/external, human/divine, static/dynamic MASCULINE. We work with the belief “If I let go, I will be open to attack”. What to do when the protector stops protecting and starts hurting you. I share tools on how to tell when a somatic release exercise is stretching you past what’s healthy. If you find yourself internally clenching at times, this episode may provide a great somatic tool that you would otherwise only receive in private coaching with me! — For 1:1 work with me, head to the Erotic Edge page ⁠⁠here⁠⁠. — For access to my self-study page, head to: ⁠http://nadiamunla.com/selfstudy⁠ Use code: PODCASTLOVE to get 50% off any of my digital products — To connect with Nadia on IG: @nadiamunla For coaching/teaching/speaking inquiries: Email: info@nadiamunla.com

Rachel Rickards is an international leader in the field of personal transformation, intimacy, embodiment, and relating. Rachel and I met skinny-dipping in Bali in 2015 and she has left an impression on me since! In this episode, we talk about the next frontier in trauma-informed facilitation as well as the opportunities & challenges of multiple beloveds and open relating.  We discuss: The challenge of asking individuals to be self-responsible when in a trauma response & how to create trauma-informed group settings. Rachel shares her experience of being in a polyamorous relationship while pregnant and how it affected her beliefs and priorities. We discuss open relationships and the challenges that come with it, including the need to slow down and build on successes I ask Rachel whether she believes some people have a natural propensity towards open relating, while others may need to work on healing past wounds. And so much more! This is a great episode to tune into if you are interesting in pursuing, or are already on the path of becoming an embodied facilitator or open relating.  — Rachel Rickards is an international leader in the field of personal transformation, intimacy, embodiment, and relating. She is a group facilitator extraordinaire, event producer, and a new mother. In 2014 she and Buster Radvik co-founded Embodied Intimacy, which has become one of the most respected organizations globally that offers trainings and events focussed on intimacy, trauma, relational intelligence, somatic education and community. The work of Embodied Intimacy supports hundreds of people each year to come home to themselves, to their body and more regulated nervous systems, and become more of who they truly are.  Since 2019, Rachel has led the Belly2Belly Facilitator Training after her teacher and mentor, David Cates, passed the torch and CEO position for this work to her. Belly2Belly offers a simple and yet profoundly healing set of embodied and relational practices, which support people to learn to regulate their nervous systems in a way that can be transformational for their relationships. Rachel has single handedly produced and facilitates most of the events with her extraordinary superpowers in the field of event planning and depth in embodied leadership.  Rachel’s newest passion project launching this year is “The Field Facilitator Training.” This is a revolutionary new experiential learning environment for upcoming group facilitators who are passionate about creating fields of deep group-heart coherence and learning how to facilitate group soul emergence. This requires the development of radically new facilitation skills, such as learning to listen to the group field, collective surrender to the moment, as well as dynamic and fluid collective leadership to support the blossoming of the group soul that is longing to emerge in the space between us.  Simultaneously, Rachel has just taken on her biggest project to date as a community builder and visionary of Alma Do Solo. With her partner, Lennart Hennig, she has purchased property and is currently in the developmental and visionary phase of creating a regenerative land, and community eco-village on the Azores islands. Their intention is to give birth to an event and education center with a holistic relationship to death at its core.
