In this episode I share a personal experience of where I was at when I truly hated my body. I find that there is a wide range of feelings towards our bodies: We hate them and can't stop thinking about them. We avoid them and fully disconnect (maybe out of no longer "hating" them and also maybe because we aren't ready to fully "love" them.) And loving them for what they do for us, in a nonjudgemental way. Where are you on your self love journey?
Come listen to the 3 tools I've used to go from hating, to avoiding, the embracing my body as is.
And as I recallibrate what this business looks like moving forward, make sure you are getting my emails here.
Also, check back on the website to see what Holistic Hula classes you can join that will help you through this process!
Today is part 2 of this series breaking down the things you are feeling self critical of and bring a self compassionate perspective. We address not being very patient in our relationships, our income, and unkind feelings you think about yourself (I'm lazy, unintelligent, not graceful, too masculine and not eloquent, etc.)
Stick around for a bonus episode coming that will address the #1 thing we are self critical over: Our bodies.
In this episode we address 3 of the bigger topics that came up when I asked you what you are most self critical of. Look past some of the weird edits as I had a major cough happening, I just really wanted to get this out to you and not wait until I felt better :)

I know it can be really hard to imagine loving your body if you are in a space of obsessing and disliking it more often than not. I also know what has helped me move from dislike to love and acceptance. I want you to know this feeling of being okay in YOUR vessel (body) and wanting to change habits and patterns coming from a space of LOVE and not DISLIKE. This is why I teach my Hula & Mindfulness classes. So that you can practice happy movement and learn mindfulness tools to move past obsessing over your body and instead embrace it as is!!

A new year brings reflection and mini adjustments around here, not huge massive goals! As I reflected on 2022 I recognized it was a year of WORK. Physical work, emotional work, spiritual work. And now I'm ready for some LIGHTHEARTED FUN! :)
If you have found yourself in a situation where the emotion feels heavy and you are unsure how to feel lighter, this can help you. These 5 steps will not help you avoid the emotion, but rather notice the emotion and process it so you can move forward feeling lighter.
1. Stop being “busy” and allow yourself 10 minutes of intentional quiet time to pause.
2. Begin writing whatever comes to your mind.
3. Get yourself outside for a walk if you can.
4. Get out of your head and into your body.
5. Find support from those who are working on the same things.

"I love you. I am listening" I recently had a beautiful meditation experience where this was the focus. And for the first time in a meditation, mid way through, we were guided to place our hands on our heart, and cradle our head down as if to bring our mind closer to our hearts. This new posture immediately brought me back to the days when my boys were babies and I would hold them at my heart and automatically cradle them with my head. It was an automatic expression of love. Of caring. And now I was doing that with my own heart... Beautiful. It was a way to connect to my body in a whole new light.
It also had a Spiritual connection for me. While I attend the LDS Church, I have allowed myself to rebuild my foundation focusing only on Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for quite some time. That is where I have chosen to place my energy and pin pointed focus on growing my testimony, and truly, it's been beautiful. As I created this posture within myself, I also was reminded of the loving heart and listening ear of each of those spiritual figures. I hope this helps you the way it has helped me as well.

One quick way to turn around your day and re-group is the 2 Minute Turn Around Trick.
Grab paper if you want, but preferably the notes app on your phone.
Set a 2 minute timer.
Begin writing everything down that you are grateful for until the timer stops.
Then, the next time that you are overstimulated, frustrated, sad, etc you can grab your phone and read through the things you are thankful for. Then, set a 2 minute timer again in that moment and continue your list.
Do this again and again as many times as you need and create this beautiful list of all you are blessed with. Let your brain do it's job and begin learnign to focus on the positive and spend less time dwelling on the tough.

As I have spent 3 weeks on a social media break, I have intentionally been looking for God in my life. I am confident that when we choose to slow down and look up, we will find our Divine and receive the direction we need.
If you want to FIND God in the details, then you have to lift up your eyes and LOOK. Don’t wait until AFTER you see something incredible… Try approaching your life actively LOOKING for your Divine and their role in your life.

The cleanliness of your home is not a reflection of WHO YOU ARE. And, there is value to recognizing that when your space is cluttered, your mind becomes cluttered. Come listen to a bit of a pep talk and insight into my life this year amongst full on house renovation. I have had to let go of my need for CLEAN and embrace the dust filled footprints that constantly make their way into my living space. I know that you have the ability to find something small that brings clarity and cleanliness to your space and mind. I hope this helps.

This is an action episode. "me time" is important, but it's important that it is actually filling your cup and rejuvenating you somehow rather than supporting avoidance of life. So, give it a listen and then go calendar your "me time" in the next 7 days!!! When are you filling your cup?
Be sure to follow along with me on IG @withjadekulia.
Have you found yourself unsure of what you like to do anymore?? Or you don't actually take the time doing it?! Well there may be a few reasons that your cup isn't feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I'll help you identify why that has happened and give you some ideas on what to do to fix it! Let's get you intentionally spending time doing something that fills you up :)

Are you an exercise lover? I have to say, I am not. I ebb and flow when it comes to structured daily exercise routines. But, I know the value of JOYFUL MOVEMENT! Hip shaking reminded me that movement and exercise is supposed to be fun! So often we just focus on needing to lose weight, but I've learned that thinking never actually served me. So instead, now I listen to my body and move it how she wants.
