GO DEEPER: Living Surrendered, Dawn's workshop on letting go of control

Madelyn Moon, author of Artist of Love, joins me to talk about expression as a woman's capacity to hold and move everything she feels. We get into decision fatigue and its roots in losing touch with her own desire, and how the impulse women have learned to override is where the oracle lives. Madelyn shares how bodybuilding once gave her a false sense of control, and how sacred theater, improv and play at her Unbound intensive help women break through perfectionism by stepping fully into the very performance they feel stuck in.
We talk about shadow work as the darker material your ego protects you from, how a push pull experience of love learned from a parent gets passed on, and how fully embodying a shadow creates real compassion. Madelyn speaks about harsh grief and soft grief after losing her young puppy, Jack, and I share my own loss of Barkley. We close with turning your drama into dharma and making art out of everything life hands you.
If you're the woman who lives in her head, always trying to do it right, Dawn made Living Surrendered for you. It's her workshop on how she let go of control, with the full Q&A. Watch it here:
