Dance, Movement, and Empowerment: A Conversation with Des Caminos

In this magnetic episode of "Ignite Your Spark with Kim," I am thrilled to introduce you to the transformative world of Des Caminos. Prepare to be invigorated as Des, with her rich background in psychology and sociology, passionately shares how she ventured into the realm of dance movement therapy and burlesque to fortify women's spirits. Des's dynamic approach intertwines the somatic and the embodied, charting a course for a uniquely interconnected model of healing. As we both explore the profound power of expressing oneself through the body, I reflect on my affinity for improv and dance and how these tools help unleash inner energy and vibrancy.

We delve deep into the essence of inner work, confronting the intense emotions that define so much of our human experience—guilt, shame, anger, jealousy, grief—and the vital process of unmasking these feelings to foster genuine personal growth. Des illuminates how societal prescriptions can stifle emotional expression and the exploration necessary to tap into the true treasures within. Together, we navigate the concept of self-sabotage, dissecting the self-defeating behaviors that arise from the controlling shackles of "shoulds" and highlighting the transformative possibilities of self-compassion over self-criticism. Des's invigorating conversation is an open invitation to all those seeking to ignite their own spark and find their unique rhythm in life’s dance.

Sparkle into life friends and please share this episode and the Podcast if you are enjoying the conversations.

Shine on!
