Have you ever had a “gut feeling” or noticed your heart racing before a big event? Those are examples of interoception, your body’s ability to sense what’s happening inside.

In this episode, Dr. Kaitlin Harkess explores interoception, the fascinating inner sense that helps us notice signals like hunger, thirst, heart rate, and emotional states. Understanding and strengthening this skill can help us manage stress, regulate emotions, and connect more deeply with ourselves.

We’ll cover:

  • What interoception is and how it influences physical and emotional wellbeing

  • The link between interoception and alexithymia (difficulty identifying and describing feelings)

  • How trauma and stress can disrupt body awareness, and how to begin restoring connection

  • Simple, practical strategies to tune into your body’s cues, from mindful breathing to everyday check-ins

  • Ways interoceptive awareness can improve sleep, relationships, and decision-making

Whether you’re new to the concept or curious to deepen your practice, this episode offers practical guidance for listening to your body and responding with compassion rather than judgment.

💌 If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or leave a review — it really helps others discover the podcast.

And before you move on with your day, take a moment to pause… What is your body telling you right now?
