The Art of Aligned Effort
Grasping vs. Allowing speaks directly to one of the most subtle and powerful shifts we can make in both our inner and outer lives.
We live in a culture that celebrates the hustle, the grind, the push. Striving is rewarded. But when does healthy ambition become inner tension... mental, emotional, even physical constriction? In this session, we explore how the subtle energy of grasping can block flow, and how allowing can open us to greater success, creativity, and ease, not through passivity, but through aligned effort.

Interrupting Reactivity
The Power of Pausing is about interrupting reactivity to reclaim presence. This one practice — pausing — can change everything.
It’s the difference between reacting out of habit… and responding from wisdom. Between being hijacked by your nervous system… and reclaiming your presence.
We live in a world that values speed. We reward quick answers, fast decisions, instant replies. But in this urgency, we often lose connection — with ourselves, with others, with what truly matters. The pause is not a delay. It’s not weakness. It’s power.
Sun., Nov. 9, 2025
Breaking Free From The Rat Race
This session dives into a common, and often invisible, drain on our energy, confidence, and clarity: The Comparison Trap. We’ve all felt it: Scrolling through LinkedIn, you see someone’s career leap. Opening Instagram, you witness someone’s seemingly perfect life. Hearing a colleague speak, you suddenly question your own voice. Comparison shows up as: “I should be further along.” And without realizing it, our grounded presence is replaced by self-doubt, contraction, and misalignment. How would you like to flip that script?

Program Elements
Each Month You'll Receive
LIVE Monthly 60-Minute Group Session
Once a month, usually on a Sunday at 6:00 PM EST / 3:00 PM PST, we gather for a LIVE group session via Zoom. After tuning in, Dr. Kennedy leads a 15-minute discussion of the monthly theme. Then, she leads the group in a 30-minute breath and meditation practice related to the theme, harnessing the power of our collective focus. The session ends with a 15-minute Q&A to answer any questions that arise. If you are unable to attend live, you will be able to watch or listen to the recordings of the sessions, as well as ask questions in the course hub.
Monthly Mindset Audio Training
Every month, you’ll receive a new mindset audio training elaborating on that month’s theme. The guided audio will bring additional depth and subtlety to the monthly focus, enabling you to deepen your understanding and accelerate your growth. A mix of motivation and evidence-based cognitive techniques like meditation and visualization, the training will help to prime the brain for success.
Monthly Practice Guide
Every month, you’ll receive a written practice guide summarizing the month’s theme and core practices and offering reflection prompts for journaling. The practice guide will also include suggestions for mindfulness practices related to the month's topic. In combination with the guided audio, the practice guide will create a potent support system for your daily practice and a gateway to grounded power and an expansive mindset.
Access to Media Library
Every month, videos and audio trainings will be added to the library related to the theme creating a growing knowledge base. With annual membership, you will be able to go directly to specific topics and/or practices, as well as recordings of the full live sessions. Regardless of when you join the group, you will not miss anything because you will have access to the previous sessions (though being there live offers the greatest benefit). Monthly members receive that month's session, related audio and practice guide.
Private Online Community
This is a space for conscious leaders who are focused on living full out without burnout, making authentic connections, and having a positive impact on the world. Be inspired by motivational content and connect with other participants. This is also your space to ask questions and connect with Dr. Kennedy in between the live sessions.
You will also receive a special rate on Embodied Success® Coaching and Master Training programs.
YOU DESERVE TO BE SUPPORTED
Top athletes have coaches to help them see blind spots, polish skills, and play at the top of their game. Learn insights from Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy's 20+ years of teaching these tools, and join a community of practice with other participants who are committed to experiencing sustainable success in all areas of life and playing full out without burnout. If you want even more support, you can add one-on-one coaching to complement the monthly sessions and/or bring the Embodied Success® training to your organization.

Fulfillment From The Inside Out
We begin with a topic at the core of everything we're exploring in this series—The Feeling of Success. For years, I've asked a simple but powerful question: How successful do you feel? The truth is, success isn't a number or a job title. It's not something you arrive at-it's something you embody. Success is a state of being. The more you practice generating that feeling from within, the more empowered, energized, and expansive your outer world becomes. Open your mind to the new paradigm and learn tools to feel successful on a consistent basis.
A Superpower for Visionaries
This month’s theme is one that sits at the heart of every meaningful transformation: Beginner’s Mind. We live in a world that praises expertise. Yet the paradox is that the more we accumulate knowledge or experience, the more likely we are to lose our openness to new insights. We start to see through filters—of expectation, judgment, habit. Beginner’s Mind invites us to remove those filters and approach life with curiosity, openness, and a lack of preconceptions—no matter how knowledgeable we are. It’s the mindset of a child exploring the world.
The Art of Aligned Effort
Grasping vs. Allowing speaks directly to one of the most subtle and powerful shifts we can make in both our inner and outer lives.
We live in a culture that celebrates the hustle, the grind, the push. Striving is rewarded. But when does healthy ambition become inner tension—mental, emotional, even physical constriction? In this session, we explore how the subtle energy of grasping and chasing can block flow, and how allowing can open us to greater success, creativity, and ease—not through passivity, but through the art of aligned effort.
