Take Me As I Am - An Introduction (May 2025 )

It Took Me & Jane Fonda 50 Years to Return to Our Bodies

Season 3 Episode 19

Trigger warning. Sexual assault & suicide are referenced in this episode.

Here you are again my friend. 💜

I hope this finds you well.

Last Friday a friend of mine recommended a podcast episode featuring Jane Fonda. She was a guest on the podcast, We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon, Abby & Amanda.

I’ve now listened to that episode 3 times. It was so close to my heart and helped me understand my relationship with my body to a deeper level.

Jane, who is turning 85 in a couple of weeks, was so honest and transparent as she talked about the suicide of her mother, experiencing sexual assault as a child and especially how it all affected her relationships.

I felt like she had opened her mouth and told my story and it brought me so much peace. To better understand the relationship I have with my body feels good, it feels clearer and it feels more empowering.

If you’re keen to hear the original episode with Glennon & Jane, check it out on Spotify here.

Jane and I spent 50 years disconnected from our beautiful bodies, and it sucked. I am still working on being in my body and less in my mind, but its definitely a work in progress.

I don’t want that for you.

Start an embodiment practice for yourself.

Your body has all the answers.

Enjoy the episode.
