4. Your Body Is Your Alarm: Listen to the Whisper Before It Screams with Lilianne Mendes


Listen Later

What if your body has been whispering all along… warning you before it screams? In this episode of the Resonance podcast, I connect with Lilianne Mendes, a health coach whose own journey through gut pain, divorce, and burnout revealed how deeply our body speaks when we don’t listen.

Lilianne’s work blends knowledge, creativity, and heartfelt support to help others embrace a mindset and lifestyle that nourishes them on and off the plate. Her story is a powerful reminder that true healing isn’t just about the body. It’s about creating safety, compassion, and daily habits that help us choose love over fear.

✨ Ready to learn how to listen to your body’s whispers before they become screams? Let’s dive in!
