Breaking Through Perfection: Exploring Expression and Healing with Madelyn Moon
This episode is for the woman who’s tired of performing.
Tired of feeling stuck in her head.
Tired of trying to be the right kind of woman—when what she really wants is to be all of herself.
If you’ve ever felt the war inside between being soft and being powerful…
Between being seen and staying safe…
Between following your impulse and following the rules…
This conversation will wake you up.
I sit down with the fiercely embodied Madelyn Moon—author, teacher, and artist of love—for a raw, electrifying, and liberating exploration of what it means to fully express. Not just with your voice, but with your whole body, your shadow, your heart, your pleasure, your rage.
Madelyn shares how she guides women into deep energetic capacity—through sacred theater, shadow work, and radical self-expression. If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional repression, or disconnection from your body, this episode is your medicine.

🔥 WHAT YOU’LL FEEL IN THIS EPISODE
• Why your impulse is the most trustworthy thing you have
• The difference between performance and embodiment
• How shadow work can set you free instead of shaming you
• What it looks like to reclaim rage, grief, humor, and desire
• Why you don’t need to fix yourself—you need to express yourself
• How grief can soften you open if you let it
• Why being witnessed in your truth changes your whole nervous system
This isn’t surface-level empowerment.
This is the descent into your body, your knowing, your wild, holy truth.
And you’ll walk away feeling more permission than you’ve ever felt… to be all of you.
