Episode 207: The Body Keeps the Score—Healing Beyond the Mind

For years, I believed mindset work alone could break through any barrier. But recently, I had a powerful realization—some of the deepest wounds aren’t just in our thoughts; they’re stored in our bodies. In this episode, I share a personal experience that opened my eyes to the weight I had unknowingly been carrying for decades.

Through breathwork, I uncovered an old emotional story that had been lingering in my body, creating tension and pain I hadn’t even connected to my past. It was a moment of clarity—one that showed me healing isn’t just about shifting our thoughts; it’s about releasing what’s been trapped within us.

If you’ve ever felt stuck despite doing all the inner work, this episode is for you. We’ll dive into:

Somatic healing and how the body stores unprocessed emotions

The mind-body connection and why mental shifts alone aren’t always enough

How unresolved trauma manifests as anxiety, overwhelm, or even physical discomfort

Practical tools like breathwork, nervous system regulation, and emotional release techniques to facilitate deep, lasting transformation
