Dr. Adia Gooden [00:00:21] Welcome to the Unconditionally Worthy Podcast. In this podcast, I will guide you on your journey to connect with the true source of your self-worth. Each week we'll discuss barriers to unconditional self-worth, the connection between self-worth and relationships, self-worth practices you can apply to your life. And how to use self-worth as a foundation for living courageously. I'm your host, Dr. Adia Gooden, a licensed clinical psychologist, dance enthusiast, and a dark chocolate lover who believes deeply that you are worthy unconditionally.
Dr. Adia (00:03.39)
I have a really wonderful guest on the episode today. Her name is Mohini Gima. And she really talks about embodying self-intimacy, how we connect to our bodies, get in tune with our bodies, get in touch with our bodies. And I think there's so much alignment between what she talks about and what I talk about related to self-worth. And so it's really cool to hear her take from a more
embodiment perspective, right? From a perspective that really centers our bodies. And I know that I talk about these things and I talk about them in a little different ways. And one of the things I love about this podcast is it gives you all the opportunity to hear from various people and experts around, you know, their take on self-worth, self-worth journey. And my hope is that from not only hearing from me, but hearing from other people, that it really helps you get closer to knowing that you are worthy.
I also just want to note that some of what we talk about in today's episode, releasing self-criticism, allowing ourselves to feel and move through our emotions, taking care of ourselves, engaging in self-care, those are really things that I focus on in my course, Date Yourself, Four Weeks to a Healthy Relationship with You. And that program specifically guides you to release self-criticism.
Understand your inner critic understand where it comes from and release it gives you practical strategy to do that practice self-compassion and part of that is learning to tune into yourself learning to understand and feel through your emotions so you can experience and release them and be kind to yourself in the process and engaging in sustainable and personalized self-care So figuring out how to take good care of yourself in a way that works for you specifically and in a way that sustainable And so there's a lot of themes that we talk about
on today's episode that I help you with in a step-by-step way in the Date Yourself course. That course is available to take whenever you're ready. So if you are interested in sort of diving into this in a more practical way, I really encourage you to check out that course. You can go to unconditionallyworthy.com / date yourself to check out the course and enroll now. We'll also link it in the show notes. Okay, let's get into the show.
Dr. Adia (00:05.386)
I am really excited and honored to welcome my guest to the podcast today. Her name is Mohini and she uses emotional release practices to guide others to connect with the depths of themselves, release stagnation of energy and trauma from the body in order to create space for all of their juiciest desires to come alive. She uses her prior 12 years in education in new ways.
within creative and wellness spaces to support people to tap into their fullest emotional expression and create self intimacy via verbal and nonverbal communication using their body, senses and movement. This integration of awareness and presence is living an intimate tantric lifestyle. Mohini has curated multiple embodiment experiences for artists such as Lizzie Jeff and Landrell.
as well as festivals, many workshops and retreats. If you wanna release self judgment, shame and guilt so that you can activate your voice and innate body wisdom, create deeper levels of self trust and intimacy, emotional expression, then connect with Mohini and you are going to get a taste of her wisdom on this episode of the podcast. Welcome Mohini.
Mohini (01:26.26)
Yes, I am so excited to be here. Thank you so much. I'm really excited to dive in.
Dr. Adia (01:31.846)
Yeah, you're welcome. We actually met in Puerto Rico. We were at a business conference and attended this dinner that was in Old San Juan. And we just had this really great conversation about self-worth and embodiment and I think womb wisdom and lots of different things. And I was kind of like, this Mojito would be a great person to have on the podcast. And so that was back in January. And I'm so grateful that you were willing to
Mohini (01:52.532)
Yeah.
Dr. Adia (02:01.646)
come on the podcast and share your wisdom. And so I would love to just start our conversation where I start all of my conversations with guests, which is by asking you to share a bit about your own self-worth journey.
Mohini (02:14.52)
Hmm, it's definitely been a journey. To say the least, I feel like I lived much of my life where I did not even know self-worth was a thing. It was not modeled to me. I feel like many women, especially women of color, it's, we're not taught these kinds of things. It's not modeled to us. Society, culture, all of these things really ingrain in us and teach.
Dr. Adia (02:17.55)
Mmm.
Dr. Adia (02:26.743)
Hmm.
Mohini (02:44.364)
us to not really tap into ourselves and not and to outsource a lot of our power. So maybe you can relate to that. Maybe your listeners can relate to that of just not really feeling connected with yourself. And that was a big part of my journey was just feeling really, really disconnected from myself, not knowing my worth. I lived much of my life in that space. And then once I kind of awakened to wait,
Dr. Adia (02:53.986)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Mohini (03:13.588)
I'm the one holding myself back. I am the one that is keeping myself in these unhealthy relationships and patterns and really reflecting as to why. That's sort of what my journey really started to unfold for me and is really when I started to become just aware of, oh wait, these patterns are showing up. Okay.
Dr. Adia (03:15.574)
Mmm.
Dr. Adia (03:28.119)
Hmm.
Mohini (03:40.8)
Why? Where did these come from? Where did these come from? Did it come from my mom? Did it come from my family, patriarchy? All of these different layers and just becoming open to how I even got to this place of feeling unworthy. And then what do I do with this new information?
Dr. Adia (03:42.059)
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (03:50.658)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (03:58.551)
Yeah.
Dr. Adia (04:03.858)
Yeah, I mean, I love that you're sort of highlighting the both and of we are often the ones holding ourselves back and it's often conditioned by society, by our by our family. So we have to acknowledge that context and we can't stay there. Right. We also have to own our role, our role in keeping ourselves stuck, our role in giving away our power. And that.
I think for some people is one of the hardest things to do is to acknowledge that without shaming and blaming, but to acknowledge it to take back your power and then do something different.
Mohini (04:43.776)
Yeah, absolutely. To take that radical responsibility for your life and to realize that, oh wait, I am actually the one who's creating my life. I am worthy of actually stepping into and creating my desires, making those desires a reality. It takes a lot of accountability of self. And it really starts with that awareness of that you have that power within you.
It can be a lot easier sometimes to blame other people and to say well the reason I'm not doing X, Y, and Z or I don't have this Lifestyle that I'm living or I'm not feeling this level of desire is because of my Parents or because of my partner or because of my kids or because of my boss Right. It's a lot easier to say oh, it's because of them But when you really
Dr. Adia (05:17.761)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (05:27.458)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (05:32.071)
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (05:38.624)
drop in with yourself and take that responsibility. Okay, I'm outsourcing my power to them.
Dr. Adia (05:46.198)
Mmm.
Mohini (05:47.596)
That's where the worthiness piece kicks in. Oh, okay, you get to drop in with yourself.
Dr. Adia (05:50.323)
Mmhmm.
Dr. Adia (05:54.034)
Yeah, yeah, and I, you know, we're both on this sort of entrepreneurial journey. And I think there's a lot of those things that have been coming up for me, which is like, okay, so I'm creating an environment in a situation for myself where I feel rushed, where I feel stressed, where I feel I have too much to do. And I can't blame anybody. Like I no longer have a boss to blame. Right? I no longer have a system, a, you know, like a company organization to say they're just chaotic and da da da da. It's like, so I am creating this myself.
Mohini (06:13.576)
Right. Yes!
Dr. Adia (06:24.234)
Why am I doing that? Kind of like what you said, like, where is this coming from? And how do I creatively start to do something different? Because I don't want this for myself. And I'm the one who is responsible for doing something different.
Mohini (06:34.988)
Right.
Mohini (06:39.38)
Yeah, and again, there's many layers to this because yes, we're responsible, but also, I feel this unworthiness because of the systems that be in place, you know, it's not me, if I was on an isolated island somewhere, I probably wouldn't be feeling this. But because of these different layers of suppression, that's
Dr. Adia (06:48.748)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (06:57.165)
Right.
Mohini (07:04.288)
why these kind of feelings and thoughts come into play and why the unworthiness even exists in the first place, I feel.
Dr. Adia (07:12.03)
Yeah, yeah. I think the other thing, and I'm hoping it's okay to bring in some pieces that I know about your story, so hopefully you're okay sharing, but is that it can be scary to start to disrupt patterns and do something different because often it ends up in us losing things, right? And losing, potentially losing jobs, losing relationships, losing connection, losing ways of living that have made us comfortable. And even if we're sort of, it's dysfunctional.
Mohini (07:20.044)
Yeah, absolutely.
Mohini (07:26.086)
Oh, yeah.
Mohini (07:31.884)
Cool.
Mohini (07:41.615)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (07:41.79)
right, like there's this dysfunctional comfort, it still can be scary to release them. And I know that you've had experiences like that. So I'm wondering if you'd be willing to share a bit about what that has looked like, and then also sort of tell people about the freedom that's come on the other side and why it's worth it.
Mohini (07:52.246)
Yes.
Mohini (07:59.752)
Okay, great. Yes. So I have been exploring the art of letting go. And the with that comes a lot of surrender and trust. And I realized how much I really desired to control things in my life. And that stems that was rooted from my past childhood trauma stuff that
Dr. Adia (08:05.922)
Hmm
Mohini (08:26.02)
made me want to be able to, I couldn't control some of those things growing up. So as an adult growing up, how could I best control in this situation? How can I best control someone else so that chaos doesn't ensue?
Dr. Adia (08:42.243)
Hmm.
Mohini (08:51.624)
So the art of letting go for me was, it came with a lot of understanding all of the boxes that I had already been checking off and living a life that wasn't truly mine.
Dr. Adia (09:08.447)
Mmm.
Mohini (09:09.464)
And when I started to understand this, this is where the worthiness part kicks in, is because who am I to break these patterns and to even question these patterns? One, to begin with, who am I to even question these patterns? Because I'm supposed to just be chugging along. And when I'm chugging along, that works to a certain degree, but then I also felt really unfulfilled. And so...
Dr. Adia (09:30.25)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (09:36.514)
Hmm
Mohini (09:40.undefined)
The part of me for letting go was one, I had no idea what's on the other side of letting go of a very long-term relationship.
a house, a beautiful house, a career that I spent a whole lot of money on for multiple degrees and time and clinicals and working and all of this experience and networking and all of these things, friendships. And who am I to just let all of this go? To start something completely new and fresh and...
Dr. Adia (09:55.566)
Hmm.
Hmm.
Mohini (10:21.352)
I've never, I had never done anything quite like that before. And so it was a real practice in trusting myself and trusting that I'm being guided to do something beyond. These material check boxes and really explore more of this inner work and understand well that worthiness like well, why did I stay in this marriage for so long?
Dr. Adia (10:25.09)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (10:31.488)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (10:49.506)
Hmm.
Mohini (10:50.216)
Why did I stay in this career for so long when I had this inner call? I had this inner knowing that I'm meant for more, but I didn't trust myself enough to do more with that. And I feel like a lot of times people are just really scared to let go. And I get it. It can be very scary to do something that you haven't done before.
Dr. Adia (11:00.994)
Hmm
Mohini (11:13.868)
But like you said, if you want different results, you gotta do something different and you have to become, you have to be different. Right, like I forget who says that saying, Albert Einstein or someone, I don't remember. Whoever says that saying, if you want the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same things over and over again, expecting different results, right? We can't keep doing the same thing if we want a different life. And it really...
Dr. Adia (11:20.77)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (11:29.55)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (11:33.811)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (11:38.036)
No.
Mohini (11:42.94)
it comes to, for me, it really just, it keeps coming back to the worthiness piece and that stuff lives in your body. That unworthiness, you don't feel safe in your body. You don't feel like you can take a courageous, brave step forward. So it's a lot of unlearning and it's a lot of rewiring and connecting to your body in new ways.
Dr. Adia (11:53.207)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (12:02.934)
Hmm
Mohini (12:12.704)
that you can listen. It requires a lot of slowing down and that's part of that trust. Ha ha.
Dr. Adia (12:17.026)
Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. Thank you for sharing that because I think that sort of the fear of the unknown, the fear of what's on the other side is often what keeps people stuck in a place that might not feel so good. And I think, you know, it doesn't always mean that your whole life is gonna change, right? Like sometimes there's shifts and adjustments.
And it takes courage, right, to make a change. And I think the other thing you're speaking to is that it does take tuning into yourself to even recognize like, I am disconnected to myself, from myself, or I am unhappy, or I am following, you know, unwritten, unspoken mandates from my family, from community, from society versus what I truly want. And I feel like that connects to what you talk about related to self-intimacy.
And I'd love for you to share a little bit more about kind of what are the elements of self intimacy and how do people start to cultivate that for themselves.
Mohini (13:23.212)
Yeah, great question. So I feel like we live in a very go, go, go world. You know, it's very hectic. Onto the next thing, our calendars are incredibly full of life stuff. You know, it's like you go to work, you'll pick up your kid, you go into soccer practice. Maybe there's time to cook dinner. Maybe you're just picking something up on the way home from soccer practice. Eat something real quick, rinse and repeat, you know?
scroll for a couple hours and that's it, you know? And there isn't, we're not intentionally creating time to really be with ourselves. And this is also by design, I feel. Society doesn't want you to slow down because when you slow down, you're actually tuning to the wisdom that you have within you.
and you're tuning into the power, you're tuning into the answers that you have within that they want you to outsource. So when you quiet down the mind and you're actually connecting within, that's where you realize you have your power and they don't society doesn't want you to tune into that. So that self intimacy for me starts with slowing the heck down.
Dr. Adia (14:24.288)
mmm
Dr. Adia (14:41.282)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (14:47.15)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (14:49.12)
chill for just a few moments. And for me, I live a tantric lifestyle and what that means for me, it has nothing, well, I should say, it has very minimal to do with sex. It has very, very, very minimal to do with sex actually. And that's a huge misconception about tantra that it's all about sex. But truly tantra is all about being present. And...
Dr. Adia (15:02.698)
It's not all about sex, right? Hmm. Hmm.
Dr. Adia (15:17.166)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Mohini (15:17.96)
In order to be present, you need to slow down. And to slow down, you need to turn off your mind and turn on your body. And when you turn on your body, you're connecting to your senses. That means you've slowed down enough to feel the coldness of the floor on your feet. Or you've slowed down enough to smell
Dr. Adia (15:27.822)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (15:43.278)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (15:48.548)
wilting rose that I have here. But you know, I take the time to smell this and you feel the sun on your skin and really connecting to your senses. Living a sensual life means connecting to your senses. So one, it's slowing down and self-intimacy to me. Intimacy can mean a few different things. It can mean either into me, I see
Dr. Adia (15:51.07)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (16:02.102)
Hmm... Mm-hmm...
Dr. Adia (16:15.813)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (16:16.552)
Right? So that means I'm looking at myself and doing that inner, what's going on inside. Again, if they're wanting, society is encouraging us externally to look for the answers. Into me I see means, oh snap, I have the answers inside. So it's really about reflecting inward and creating that intimacy with self.
Dr. Adia (16:24.885)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (16:35.295)
Hmm... Mm-hmm...
Mohini (16:42.888)
If you want deeper relationships with other people, well, how's your relationship with yourself? You can't meet people, you can only meet other people as deep as you've gone within yourself.
Dr. Adia (16:43.222)
Yep.
Dr. Adia (16:48.05)
Yep. Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (16:55.917)
Yeah.
Mohini (16:56.856)
So that self-intimacy is for me understanding that everything is really connected. We're connected to nature. We're connected to each other more than we give ourselves even credit or understanding to even have a conversation with someone else. We're just so cut off from other people. People walking down the street, we barely even make eye contact with them, acknowledge them. So it's like slowing down, make eye contact, say hey. It doesn't need to become.
Dr. Adia (17:18.091)
Mm. Mm-hmm.
Mohini (17:25.376)
your best friend, they don't need to become your best friend, but just acknowledging a human, you know? Yeah, so it really, for me, it always comes back to self, and that is what allows us to have deeper relationships in our life.
Dr. Adia (17:30.07)
Mmhmm. Mmhmm.
Dr. Adia (17:36.79)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (17:42.422)
Yeah, I love that. I love so much of what you're saying, right? And, you know, you started by saying, like, there's sort of this design, right? We know that our attention is a commodity, right? And it's commodity for advertisements to get us to buy things. And, you know, often, if I'm taking like a psychological framework, if I'm trying to help someone shift their behavior, the prescription is to pause.
Mohini (18:08.289)
Yes.
Dr. Adia (18:08.522)
Right before you buy the thing before you do the thing before you whatever it is pause, right? And that's so aligned with what you're saying, which is slow down because you know We have so many inputs coming at us and they often drown out our intuition our inner knowing and We have to get quiet enough because it is a quiet voice It is a quiet physical knowing right like whatever however that intuition comes through
it's going to be quiet until it like, you take it to the limit and it's like, shouts at you and sits you down, right? In some way, right? But generally it's quiet. And so that slowing down to tune into ourselves, to pay attention to what we need. It's also making me think about sort of often I hear, you know, people in this sort of online business world be like, you know, clarity comes from action, clarity comes from action. So just like do something. And I'm always like,
Mohini (19:07.352)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Dr. Adia (19:07.774)
You know, like maybe there is some clarity in experimentation, but often I feel like Be still Right, like take a moment be still don't like feel like you have to rush after abc xyz because it's almost gone or whatever like Be still take a moment tune in get to know what you are feeling and what you are thinking Hopefully free from what you all the shoulds and all the you have to's and all the other people expect and all the
What if I miss out, but the, what is your truth that you can find inside of you?
Mohini (19:43.448)
Absolutely and that slowing down can be scary Because you don't know what's gonna come up right like if you haven't slowing down if you haven't listened in a week in a month in A year in ten years in 30 years, right? you don't know what's gonna come up and So that can become a little unnerving for people and what I've seen
Dr. Adia (20:04.706)
Hmm
Mohini (20:09.492)
when I've facilitated different kind of embodiment practices for people is you don't need to necessarily remember in your mind experiences. Your body remembers and you can move through that quickly with the proper kind of guidance and the proper processes, if you will, because your body is always listening. Your body's-
Dr. Adia (20:36.91)
Hmm
Mohini (20:37.72)
constantly listening. It's cellular. So we're listening to things. So that self-talk, that inner voice that we have, we have multiple inner voices. And that's why that listening is really important because you get to discern, okay, this inner voice, this inner critic, is this actually my voice? Or is this the voice of my parent when I was five years old?
Dr. Adia (20:51.305)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (21:08.164)
voice of a teacher who told me I was bad at math and now 30 years later I still think I'm bad at math? Or is this a best friend who said anything is possible and you believe that? Or is it your voice? You know, like, and you really get to discern from that intuition versus that fear voice and decide which volume you want to listen to, which voice you want to listen to and turn the volume up on the intuitive.
Dr. Adia (21:15.063)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (21:22.316)
Mm-hmm
Mohini (21:37.324)
wisdom that you have and turn down the volume of that fear that you can't do something that you're not worthy of it and Another thing is really tuning into the feelings like that aspect a lot of people are really nervous and scared to tap into that because again if you haven't tuned in I don't know what's gonna come up. I Shut down my grief from when my grandmother passed away 20 years ago or that heartbreak
Dr. Adia (21:58.274)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (22:02.71)
Hmm.
Mohini (22:07.392)
or that joy, you know, someone said, someone told me along the way, you're too much. And that can we allow ourselves the space now as an adult to feel all the full range of human emotions as messy, I call it a beautiful mess as much of a beautiful mess as it is. We're not robots.
Dr. Adia (22:09.89)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (22:15.286)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (22:27.406)
Mmhmm.
Dr. Adia (22:35.742)
Right, right.
Mohini (22:36.384)
You know, we're meant to feel the full range. And it's about creating that space, that stillness to see what wants to come up to be released. So we can create space for what's coming.
Dr. Adia (22:40.654)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (22:49.663)
Yep.
Right, right. And feeling that we're worthy of feeling our feelings and then trusting that we're not gonna be overtaken by whatever comes up. That's often what I hear is people are like, I'm gonna feel sad and I will never, the sadness will stay forever if I let it come up, right? And I think there's so much alignment in the work that we do, a lot of what I help people with is releasing inner critics and shifting your relationship with it.
Mohini (22:58.392)
I hope. I'm sorry.
Dr. Adia (23:20.526)
practicing self-compassion so you can move through emotions in a healthy way. And I'm aware of, because of my training as a psychologist, most of my approaches tend to be a little bit more head-centered than body-centered, right? Like there is some sort of, like acknowledging of like how you feel when the emotions, and yet I know that I'm not trained as a somatic or embodiment.
And so I'm really curious about how you approach these things and the practices that you use, like the embodiment practices. And I know you have emotional release practices, right, that you use to guide people to do some of this work. Because I think that the work that we kind of help people to do is sort of similar, but the ways that we do it is different. And I am really a believer that, you know, different people...
need different things, right? Like different strategies, different practices and different approaches are gonna align better and fit better for certain people. So I would just love to hear more and I know the listeners would love to hear more about your approach to these types of shifts and healing and evolution work.
Mohini (24:32.628)
Yeah, so this goes back to my degrees. And I'm not one at this phase in my life to like really talk about my degrees because I feel like we're so much more than our degrees and our accolades. And it's applicable here, because my undergrad is in psychology and linguistics. And my master's degree is in communication sciences and disorders, which is a fancy way to say
Dr. Adia (24:55.522)
Mmm.
Mohini (25:01.64)
I worked as a speech language pathologist, which is another way to say I worked as a speech therapist. So I was able to go into a classroom, for example, and work with the quote unquote bad kid, which was not a bad kid, saying that he was just dysregulated for whatever reason, right? I could go into this classroom, work with this quote unquote bad kid.
and completely shift his state. How did I do that? By being present with this kid. And then having a conversation with this kid. This kid hasn't eaten breakfast. This kid sleeping on the floor. You know, he doesn't give a shit about math right now because his body literally cannot handle this kind of information, okay? So I can go in and simply be present with this kid.
which is very often, it's simple yet not easy to be present. So that to me is like, it's the nervous system regulation. That's the somatic piece. Our bodies are always listening. So if I can go in with a regulated state, I can help another person regulate where they are. That's called co-regulation.
So we get to ebb and flow between co-regulating our nervous system and self-regulating our nervous system. That we can also, we can self-regulate by meditation, by movement, by getting out in nature, by getting into a creative flow state, whatever that means for you. All of these things happen in the body, somatically. It's not all up in the head. Our emotions, our energy and motion.
Dr. Adia (26:31.062)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (26:39.438)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (26:52.994)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (26:53.784)
That happens in the body. That's what their feelings, right? We don't feel from our head, we feel with our body. And so for me, how do I bring all of this together is understanding how we gain way more information from our body, more information goes from our body to our brain than from our brain to our body.
Dr. Adia (27:18.09)
Hmm. Mm-hmm.
Mohini (27:19.532)
So for many of us, and this was me included for much, a good chunk of my life, I was all up in my head. Very much an over thinker, very logical, analytical, disconnected from my body. And as I deepened into myself and into understanding the importance of what lives in my body, I was really able to understand how to move energy, how to move with the emotions.
Dr. Adia (27:27.39)
Hmm... Hmm... Mhm...
Mohini (27:49.428)
and bring not only the science aspect of it, but really bring like the spiritual component, energetic, emotional component too, and how it blends together. Because again, it's all connected. Nervous system stuff is, it's science that backs up Kundalini practices and chi and energy and prana, which is all life force energy.
Dr. Adia (28:00.322)
Hmm.
Hmm
Dr. Adia (28:17.703)
Hmm... Hmm...
Mohini (28:18.708)
Those practices, those beliefs have been around for thousands of years before science came into play. So science is now just confirming these ancient practices.
Dr. Adia (28:34.259)
Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I love that you're talking about co self-regulation and co-regulation and really tuning into the wisdom of our bodies. I know that one of the things you talk about, I think specifically is like the wisdom that's in our wounds. And I'm wondering if you could sort of expound on that and like, how do we even start to tap into that?
Mohini (28:58.311)
Yes, so.
Mohini (29:03.316)
As women, we can carry a lot of grief and shame and anger in our hip space, which is also our root and sacral energy centers if you are into the chakra system. So these centers are, the root is all about safety. And so if we don't feel safe in our external environment growing up, which unfortunately many...
Dr. Adia (29:12.45)
Hmm.
Mohini (29:31.544)
kids don't really feel safe in their environment. That's then reflected in an unsafe feeling in our body. So this is when the disconnection starts. If there's, if we've had any kind of sexual trauma, for example, definitely creates a disconnection from our, from ourselves, from our body. And then the sacral chakra is all about creativity and sexuality.
Dr. Adia (29:33.742)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (29:40.252)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (29:59.892)
So again, this is very rooted, right? Like this is very much a huge part of us. So as women, we carry a lot of trauma in this part of our physical and energetic body. And we carry this for years, decades sometimes. And the reason that we, there's so many ways that we can connect to this wisdom. One of them again is including like slowing down, but it really involves
Dr. Adia (30:17.27)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (30:28.427)
Hmm.
Mohini (30:29.772)
feeling these emotions of anger and that grief and that disappointment of maybe you said yes when you really meant no. You didn't know that you could say no.
Dr. Adia (30:41.667)
Hmm... Mm-hmm... Mm-hmm...
Mohini (30:43.912)
I didn't know boundaries were a thing until friggin' like, I don't know, late 20s, early 30s. And.
Dr. Adia (30:49.61)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Right. And it wasn't really part of the conversation, right? Like we're now living through an era where it's like boundaries is a part of the conversation. But 10 years ago, 15 years ago, like boundaries were not like though, like a fence you know, like it was not part of the conversation.
Mohini (30:54.326)
No!
Mohini (30:58.763)
I'm out.
Mohini (31:08.64)
No, no, not at all. And so I think for us, like we really get to create space for the pain that we're carrying so that we can get it up and out so we can release it. Our body, again, carries a whole lot of wisdom. So when we tune into our creativity, when we get into a flow state, for example, time just goes by.
Dr. Adia (31:19.566)
Hmm.
Mohini (31:36.852)
Right. And a lot of people think, oh, I'm too. I don't have time for that. I got to go pick up my kid from soccer practice, work, work, work, make dinner, dishes, laundry, blah, blah, blah. Plan this baby shower for my neighbor, you know, whatever it is. An easy way to tap into your creative flow state is if you were to think about feel into when you were a kid. What were some of the things that you used to love to do?
Dr. Adia (31:44.556)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (32:00.971)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (32:06.62)
I personally loved reading. Hence, I have a lot of books. I love reading. I love learning. I love plants. I love like getting my hands dirty, hence lots of plants. I love that stuff. And so I would invite our listeners to like think about, feel into what were some of the creative projects and things that you could do as a kid. And do you do any of those now?
Dr. Adia (32:10.082)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (32:14.518)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (32:33.634)
Mm-hmm. Mm. Mm-hmm.
Mohini (32:36.552)
And if not, what's one thing that you can tap into 10 minutes for the week even, if you want to start at that. It doesn't have to be a whole giant thing, but if you 10 minutes of getting outside, 10 minutes of cooking something, but making it enjoyable. You know, it's not, oh, I got to rush and make, I have 10 minutes to make dinner, oh shit. How do I make this an enjoyable experience? Our creative, our sexual energy is
Dr. Adia (32:54.158)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (33:06.104)
creative energy. Our creative energy is sexual energy. So it's just a matter of channeling that and tapping into that. If you feel really stagnant in your creativity, you're probably really dried up in your sexual flow too. And this is very common for a lot of women.
Dr. Adia (33:07.822)
Mm-hmm. Mm. Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (33:24.886)
Hmm.
Mohini (33:31.488)
You know, and like one of the first things I think you, you know, in the intro was talking about your juiciest desires, right? When we're dried up, our body is literally dried up. We're not connected to this flow. We're not connected to this energy that we have access to. So different breath work practices are a great way to tap into getting the energy moving, connecting with your nervous system in different ways.
Dr. Adia (33:36.701)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (33:44.343)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (33:49.354)
Yeah.
Mohini (34:00.908)
Getting outside is a huge piece. I love opening the door. I love opening my windows and letting some fresh air in. It seems again, so simple, but if we have everything locked up and tied up, right? The energy literally just is stuck. It's stagnant. It can't move. And that's resemble that's also reflective in our body.
Dr. Adia (34:10.086)
Hmm... Hmm...
Dr. Adia (34:17.058)
Mmm... Mm-hmm...
Dr. Adia (34:22.007)
Hmm.
Dr. Adia (34:27.594)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, it makes me think about two things. So one is just like, for me, a big thing that I used to love to do as a kid and still love to do is like dance and movement, that that feels very freeing. And I think often we live, especially women, probably men too, but, or people of all genders, but certainly women.
Mohini (34:51.745)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (34:53.874)
Is it like the way you move is exercise and you exercise to change your body and you exercise to make your body smaller. Like, it just becomes very constricting and restricting versus free flowing, moving freely, moving your energy. Right? And so I think about, you know, just I like to talk to people about like shifting your relationship with movement so that it actually feels good in the process. And you know, maybe you wanna do that CrossFit workout. I don't know.
And right, like we definitely seem to have an orientation towards our bodies. And I think women are often socialized this way, which is like, you have to change it. There's something wrong with it. It shouldn't look the way it looks. It shouldn't have the hair it has. It shouldn't smell the way it smells. It should really, there's this whole change, constrict, shrink thing, which then causes us to get all tight, right? And so it's like.
how can you move, right? Like, how can you breathe fully if it's breath work, right? How can you move fully if it's movement, right? So you can kind of get out of those constrictions. And, you know, the other thought I had is, as you were talking, is that often what I hear from, you know, high achieving professional women is, I don't know, like sort of what you're saying, I don't have time.
And there's a framework and I get that because I sometimes feel that way, especially with a child and a new mom like time is very different and my the availability of my time to do what I want feels very different than it did before and I often think the trap we fall into is thinking that doing something like a meditation or taking a walk or you know, whatever it is that will be restorative that we think about it as
taking away from, it's gonna take away from my family. It's gonna take away from the time I have to work. It's gonna take away. But the truth is that it's additive, right? The truth is that if you take the time to meditate or to take a walk in nature or to dance for 10 minutes, it's actually additive to your energy, to your mental health, to your mindset, right? Like it's additive to your family, it's additive to everything. And so I think
Mohini (36:48.888)
Absolutely.
Dr. Adia (37:07.794)
Some of it is shifting our framework around these things. Like taking, you know, like moving away from what we've been socialized into, which is taking time for yourself, doing something for yourself, is taking away from your family. It's selfish, it's ABC, XYZ, versus like, no, pouring into myself is additive. And it helps me to show up for myself and show up for all the other people that are important in my life in the way I want to.
Mohini (37:34.728)
Absolutely, absolutely agree. And I think a simple thing, I used to, there was a phase of my career where I was doing in-home speech therapy. And so I was coaching parents to work with their kids and empowering them what's the best way to incorporate my child in the regular schedule that would incorporate communication and encourage communication. And so I think, I say that because I feel like it's something that parents,
specifically for example, say, oh, I, you know, I don't have time for this because my kid is, you know, takes up my time or whatever. What if you invited your child to meditate with you? And even if they're young, you know, just your presence of being in that calm state is again, going back to that, those mirror neurons, you're showing by being with your child what it's like to be in a, in a meditative.
flow state. And I even want to invite people to think outside of the box of what meditation could mean for you. For me, I have lots of ways to meditate. When I'm doing the dishes, I'm in meditation. When I'm moving my body and dancing, I'm in meditation. When I'm gardening, I'm meditating. So it doesn't need to necessarily be, you know, you're sitting on the floor.
Dr. Adia (38:46.647)
Hmm
Mohini (38:57.952)
with nothing happening in your mind. I think that's a huge misconception because that's just not the reality. Life is life, you know? It's just, can you give yourself a few moments to be somewhat reflective and invite people in your life to join you on that journey? You don't necessarily, you can do it on your own, but you don't necessarily need to do it on your own. You can invite other people.
Dr. Adia (39:04.583)
Mm-hmm
Mohini (39:26.668)
to experience that inner reflection with you. And maybe it's a balance, you know, maybe you go to your car and you meditate for five minutes and then you come back and you meditate with your partner for another five minutes, whatever it is with your kids. I think that there's a lot, we make it very overcomplicated, you know, because again, we're all in our head. How can we make what, something that I'm already doing?
Dr. Adia (39:32.526)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (39:50.09)
Hmm... Mm-hmm...
Hmm
Mohini (39:57.172)
Um, and make, make it a little bit more reflective, make it a little bit more enjoyable, make it something that is inclusive of the people that I love and also pouring into myself at the same time. You know?
Dr. Adia (40:05.675)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (40:13.106)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, I love that. And it's sort of making me think of, you know, your reference to ancient wisdom, right? And part of it is that our lifestyles have gotten so, so far from how our ancestors lived. And a lot of, you know, we have modern technology and plumbing and all these things, right, which are great. And, right, we miss out and lose the simplicity, the presence, the...
Mohini (40:30.444)
Yes.
Dr. Adia (40:41.886)
You were mentioning earlier like true connection, right? Even, you know, even in the last 20, 30 years, right? I see young people and it's like, or you go out now with your friends and people are on the phone, right? Which is like, we didn't have, that wasn't actually the case when we were growing up is that we, you know, there were, you know, flip phones or no phones. And so you were just present, right? And so now because of technology and the pace at which we live, it means that we have to be
more intentional about the things about living in a way that used to just be the way people live because there really wasn't another like, okay, maybe people listen to the radio or when TV like for an hour or watch TV for an hour and then it was off, right? And so it forces us to increase our intentionality and it's worth it. And I also think it's useful that you're providing a lot of different ways for people to start.
Mohini (41:12.845)
Thanks, guys.
Mohini (41:24.undefined)
So, yeah. I'm gonna go.
Dr. Adia (41:37.066)
Because this isn't about like you have to overhaul your life and go off the grid, right? It's like What are the small ways that you can? Tune in start creating space for yourself connecting more deeply to yourself and then connecting to other people and then You start small and you build on it and it's reinforcing as you go along
Mohini (41:57.62)
Absolutely and exactly because these are all practices right and it's it's cool that you can just add these things to your practice tool belt your embodiment tool belt of okay, when I start to notice that I'm feeling stressed and and When you start to tune in right and you get in that those places of reflection you notice Okay, this is the little whisper that my body gives me when I'm feeling stressed and if I don't listen to it
This is the next level volume and then this is the next level volume and then this is the next level volume where then my body is screaming at me telling you sit your ass down, right? So if you can start tuning in at the lower volumes, your body doesn't need to scream to you.
Dr. Adia (42:37.166)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (42:44.12)
Yep.
Mohini (42:44.6)
So these are the practices that you can start to implement so that you don't get to the point of your body needing to yell at you. And you have different practices to use at any point. Okay, I'm noticing my heart rate is really fast right now. Let me just take a pause. Hang on. Let me tune into my breath. Let me try this practice, this breath work practice, this pranayama practice.
Dr. Adia (42:55.053)
Yep.
Mohini (43:14.156)
to help regulate my breathing, and then I can come back to the conversation. Or actually, I'm feeling really overwhelmed right now. I need to go outside, I need to go for a walk. Can we come back to this? And these kind of practices, I wish I had these practices when I was young, right? And I think that's why it's so powerful to include your family in these things, to include your children.
Dr. Adia (43:18.67)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (43:26.973)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (43:34.694)
Ehh...
Mohini (43:42.568)
It doesn't, you don't need to do this in isolation. If you're teaching your children these kind of things early on, Oh my goodness. I wish these things were taught in school. I have many times. That was why so many kids loved coming into my room very truthfully because it was a space of calm. It wasn't chaos. And that's what as adults, we get to create an internal and therefore an external environment of calm.
Dr. Adia (43:52.078)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (43:57.888)
Hmm
Dr. Adia (44:02.454)
Yeah.
Dr. Adia (44:13.178)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. And I think you're so right, kids know, and I'm just even thinking my parents were here this past weekend. My dad is super calm. My dad told me when I was in my early 20s, like, you know, you really should meditate every morning, and I was like, I rule, whatever. Right? Like, you know, and, you know, later came around. It took a while, but my daughter, like, kept going to him.
Mohini (44:14.164)
Without, without it, without it.
Mohini (44:29.837)
Hahaha! Yeah! Haha!
Mohini (44:35.625)
Mm-hmm.
Mohini (44:41.848)
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Adia (44:42.038)
Right? And I think it's really because he has such a calm, gentle presence and she could feel that. And she doesn't sort of actively go to a lot of people, but she kept going to him and returning to him because I think she felt his calm and felt his presence and kids really pick up on it. And adults pick up on it too, right? Like we all know the feeling of being with someone who is calming and we feel their calm energy versus people who are.
Mohini (45:00.895)
Oh, yeah.
Dr. Adia (45:09.398)
stressed and frazzled and we sort of feel that as well. Yeah, so I really appreciate you coming on the podcast and sharing your wisdom and sharing so many great tidbits of ideas for people to kind of incorporate these practices into their own life. So for those of you listening, I really hope that maybe you'll choose even just one thing that Mohini.
Mohini (45:10.754)
Yes.
Mohini (45:20.344)
Thank you.
Mohini (45:34.337)
Mm-hmm. Ha ha ha.
Dr. Adia (45:35.138)
has mentioned, whether it's taking a walk or getting in nature or doing something you love to do as a child or, you know, breath work or, you know, whatever it is, choosing one thing and then seeing how it feels to do that for a few days in a row and notice what comes up for you. Notice how that feels because that is really going to help you to incorporate this into your life in a bigger way. So I know that people are going to want to.
connect with you further and follow you and kind of know how to learn more about kind of what you share with the world. So tell people where they can find you.
Mohini (46:06.956)
This is
Mohini (46:12.852)
Yes, so the best place to find me is on Instagram. And my handle is I am, my first name, Mohini, M-O-H-I-N-I, my last name Gima, G-I-M-A. So I am Mohini Gima, because that's who I am. And I also have a free resource for
Dr. Adia (46:31.178)
Hehehehe
Mohini (46:37.176)
people who are looking to drop into and listen to the wisdom of their womb space. And this is not about gender, whether you have a womb, a physical womb or not, this is about the energy of that space. And so that creative sexual energy that I was speaking of earlier, this resource will help you really understand how you can connect to that a little bit.
deeper for yourself. Simple practices, really simple. Again, I think that's why we tend to not implement is because it almost seems too simple. But again, if we're not prioritizing our self and our well-being, it's so easily overlooked and we just keep it moving. And so this is again, it's intentional. This is for you to create that deeper self intimacy with yourself.
pour into yourself, choose yourself, so that you can have that then be reflected in your relationships, with all of your relationships. So you can also find that on my Instagram. And yeah, it's a really beautiful resource that I loved creating. It was really fun for me to get into that creative flow state and share that as a resource for people.
Dr. Adia (47:55.986)
I love that. And we will link your Instagram page and can link the free resource in the show notes. If you're listening, you're like, yes, I want that. It sounds amazing. Be sure to look in the show notes. You'll see the link. You'll see the link to follow Muhini on IG and get that free resource. So thank you again. This has been really wonderful. And I know that the listeners are going to get so much out of it. I have gotten so much out of it, like ideas of things that I can just be even more connected and mindful.
Mohini (48:04.626)
Thank you. Bye.
Dr. Adia (48:25.31)
with myself, so I really appreciate you sharing your time, your energy, and your wisdom with me.
Mohini (48:30.22)
Thank you all. Thank you so much for having me. And I would love to hear what wisdom, what nuggets people got from this. So like send me a DM and let me know, hey, I heard you on the podcast and this is what I took from it. I implemented this and it was great. Yeah, keep me posted. I would love to hear. So. Yeah. Thank you. Bye, take care.
Dr. Adia (48:46.958)
Awesome. Let us know. Okay. Thank you, Mohini. Have a wonderful day.[cheerful music starts]

Do you feel disconnected from yourself? Have you spent so much time and energy doing what other people (your parents, your community, your friends, your boss) want that you no longer feel connected to what you truly desire?
This is a common experience for so many of us, women in particular. In this episode of the podcast we are going to explore how this happens and show you how to reconnect with yourself.
In this episode of Unconditionally Worthy, I welcome Mohini Gima who is an educator, facilitator, guide, and speaker.
Listen in as we discuss how we become disconnected from ourselves and the simple practices that help us to reconnect with ourselves and embody our self-worth. Mohini share’s her story of pursuing a “dream” life and then dismantling the life she had created when she realized that it was misaligned. She shares how she courageously created a life that affirms her worth and fulfills her desires.
3 Signs that we’re disconnected from ourselves
We hold ourselves back
It can be easy to focus on the external factors that keep us stuck and certainly things like discrimination and systemic factors can hold us back. We might also get caught up in blaming the people in our life for how our life is and their behavior may have deeply impacted us. The challenge with staying in a place where we are blaming others for the way our life is, is that it keeps us from owning our power to create the life we want. It’s important to compassionately recognize our role in holding ourselves back. Taking responsibility for how we have held ourselves back helps us to move forward and make changes.
We engage in patterns that reinforce feeling of unworthiness
While messages that we are unworthy come from society, community, and our family implicitly or explicitly, we may start engaging in patterns that reinforce these feelings of unworthiness. This could look like seeking out partners who are emotionally unavailable and do not affirm you as worthy and loveable. It could look like overworking at work to try to please a boss who’s never happy. It could look like pursuing opportunities that aren’t aligned with your gifts and skills and never feeling like you’re doing a good enough job.
We pursue things we don’t truly want
The world tells us that there are some clear paths to success and happiness: get a degree, get a good job (i.e. a job that pays a lot of money), maybe get another degree, get married, move into a house, have children, go on a couple of vacations a year. Maybe this recipe will make you happy and leave you fulfilled and if it does, more power to you. However, too often we are caught up following a script that we didn’t write for a story that doesn’t resonate with us. If you are finding yourself pursuing things you don’t really want, this may be a sign that you’ve gotten cut off from yourself. Take this an invitation to slow down, tune into yourself and consider what will truly bring you contentment and fulfillment.
Tips for reconnecting with yourself:
Take radical responsibility for your life. When you realize that you are the one who's creating your life and that you are worthy of creating what you desire, you take back your power and things start to shift.
Build self-intimacy by slowing down. When you slow down you can tune in to the wisdom you have within you. Slowing down and tuning into yourself and your body is how you begin to cultivate self intimacy. The practice of slowing down is important because we have so many inputs coming at us and they often drown out our intuition.
Feel your feelings. So many of us avoid feeling our feelings because we’re worried about being overwhelmed by our emotions and we weren’t taught healthy ways to process and release our feelings. When we suppress our emotions they end up getting stuck in our bodies, which can result in mental health challenges or even physical illness. However, when we allow ourselves to feel our feelings we can release them and connect deeply with ourselves. (Self-compassion is a great way to do this and I guide you step-by-step on how to put this into practice in my course Date Yourself: 4 Weeks to Healthy Relationship with You).
Make time for things you enjoy. Doing things you enjoy can really help you to reconnect with yourself. If you’re not sure what you enjoy anymore, a good place to start is by returning to things that you used to enjoy when you were a child. Experiment and notice what feels good for you and then do more of that.
Remember that prioritizing yourself is additive. Too often women believe that prioritizing ourselves takes away from other people. We focus on the limited amount of time that we have available and think that when we prioritize working out or spending time with friends, for example, that doing that takes away from our family or people we are responsible for. While this is true on some level, the reality is that doing things that pour into us is ultimately additive, not subtractive. When we workout and feel refreshed and energized we are better able to be present and engaged with our family and colleagues. When we spend quality time with friends or loved ones we are filled up emotionally and have more we can give out.
Be sure to listen to the full episode to hear how Mohini has courageously created a life of power and alignment after recognizing that she was disconnected from herself. We discuss the challenges and opportunities on the journey to embodying self worth.
