Easy A Podcast

This week we’re joined by law school alumni and social justice activist Dellara for a conversation around navigating our changing world. She discusses the importance of an abundance mindset and how this shift in perception can cause our whole society to change from the inside out. She shares how this played a role in her journey: from studying debate & law to ultimately choosing not to be a lawyer in order to shed light on important topics through media.  She shares her perception on navigating modern dating in a world of non-commitment, how the entertainment legal system must adapt to artificial intelligence, and how we can develop healthier relationships to social media. _____ 0:00 Intro 5:33 Staying in a Positive Vibration in a Changing World 11:56 Studying Debate & Law 19:02 Giving Each Other Wisdom & Permission 25:38 Engaging with Social Media in a Positive Way 30:08 The Future of Media & Getting Information that You Can Trust 40:50 Navigating Modern Dating in a World of Non-Commitment  46:30 Changing Our Relationship to Social Media 54:29 AI & The Music Industry  1:00:34 The Miracle of a Shared Mission  1:04:00 Conclusion _____ Connect with Dellara: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dellara/ _____ Shop Agravitae:  https://agravitae.com/ampm Stay Connected:  Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0ZGMajufmT6ppp4LbKaaiV?si=191d8e2c380540a2 Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/easy-a-podcast/id1759634287 Easy A Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/easyapodcast/ Alexis Ren ~ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexisren/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@alexis Allie Michelle ~ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alliemichellel/ Allie’s New Book: Legends of Lemuria: https://shopcatalog.com/products/legends-of-lemuria Our Guided Journal: https://www.intelligentchange.com/pages/becoming-a-warrior-journal?utm_source=social&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=BAW&utm_content=allie Our Courses: We are Warriors: https://wearewarriors.co

Jordyn is back on Easy A today for a deeper dive into our healing journeys through EMDR therapy, breathwork, and cultivating healthy female friendships.

Jordyn and Alexis discuss how they’ve learned to alchemize the triggers in their friendship and get rid of the outdated notion that suggests female friendships are full of competition and resentment.  They also share their personal experience with balancing their masculine and feminine sides, cultivating a neutral perspective in challenging times, and processing intense emotions without being overtaken by them. _____ 0:00 Intro 2:46 Using EMDR Therapy to Regulate Your Nervous System 10:45 Regulating the Parasympathetic Nervous System  11:55 The Last Trap of Healing 19:18 Healing Through Community  22:25 Evolved Female Friendships  32:30 Balancing Our Masculine/ Feminine Side 36:15 Building Neutrality into Our Perspective  46:23 How to Feel Emotions Without Being Overtaken By Them 57:11 Healing Trauma Responses Somatically  1:02:14 The Power of Breathwork 1:09:00 Committing to Personal Growth & Trying Something New 1:17:50 Conclusion _____ Jordyn Denning:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordyndenning/?hl=en _____ Shop Agravitae:  https://agravitae.com/ampm Stay Connected:  Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0ZGMajufmT6ppp4LbKaaiV?si=191d8e2c380540a2 Listen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/easy-a-podcast/id1759634287 Easy A Instagram ~ https://www.instagram.com/easyapodcast/ Alexis Ren ~ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexisren/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@alexis Allie Michelle ~ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alliemichellel/ Allie’s New Book: Legends of Lemuria: https://shopcatalog.com/products/legends-of-lemuria Our Guided Journal: https://www.intelligentchange.com/pages/becoming-a-warrior-journal?utm_source=social&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=BAW&utm_content=allie Our Courses: We are Warriors: https://wearewarriors.co
