187/ How Somatic Healing Sparked a Holistic Breakthrough She Did NOT Expect! with Shay Joyner

38 minutes

Hi Wellness Warrior!

Today, we’re diving into something that doesn’t always get talked about enough—but when you experience it, it can shift everything. I’m talking about somatic work.

You see, so often as moms, nurses, caregivers—we live in our heads. We push through stress, we manage schedules, we deal with emotions by tucking them away and just keeping on. But our bodies… they hold the story. They hold the stress, the trauma, the unspoken emotions.

That’s where somatic work comes in. It’s a way of gently reconnecting to the body, releasing what’s been stored, and creating space for peace and healing. And the benefits are powerful: reduced anxiety, improved sleep, nervous system regulation, and even more clarity in how you show up for your life and your people.

And today’s guest, Shay Joyner, knows this first-hand. She’s a new author and someone who courageously stepped into somatic practices—and through it, she experienced a huge holistic breakthrough.

Shay Joyner is a daughter of the most high king first and foremost. A mother to 4 and a wife to 1. Living within her comfort zone for the majority of her life, the Lord in his sovereignty and goodness, brought her through some rough patches & seasons, revealing to her the real strength she has, through Him and that there is far more that God has in store for her than she could ever think or imagine.

I can’t wait for you to hear her wisdom, her honesty, and her encouragement for you as a mom navigating stress, burnout, and the desire for deeper wholeness.

So let’s jump in!

Shalom Shalom,

Xx, Shan
