Learning to Trust Your Body’s Wisdom
Manage episode 502589628 series 3581683
Sometimes your body says hell no long before your mind catches up. In this episode of The Empowered & Embodied Show, we go deep into the language of the body... you know, those visceral yeses and no’s that reveal more than logic ever could.
From laughing over quirky Canadian slang that Louise's dad apparently made up and she thought everyone knew about it (“giver tar paper”) to unpacking how emotions, conditioning, and even menopause shape our ability to trust ourselves, this conversation is raw, funny, and deeply real. We explore how alignment, avoidance, and awareness show up in everyday life, and why listening to your body is the ultimate act of self-trust.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why visceral reactions matter (and how to recognize them)
- The difference between speaking from emotion vs. logic
- How avoidance and spiraling signal misalignment
- Trusting your body through midlife, hormones, and change
- Practical ways to reconnect with your body’s wisdom
Join us for a heartfelt, unfiltered conversation about learning to trust yourself one signal at a time.
