Forgive Yourself

95: Why So Many Women Don’t Trust Their Own Gut


Listen Later

What happens when we stop outsourcing our knowledge and begin listening to the wisdom that’s been living inside us all along?


Brenda is joined by somatic and expressive arts therapist Cathy Williams to explore what it truly means to come home to your body after trauma, burnout, and self-abandonment. Cathy shares her personal healing journey, from living in her head and overriding her intuition, to reconnecting with her body as a source of safety, guidance, and truth.


Together, they unpack how psychological abuse, people-pleasing, and over-intellectualizing can disconnect us from ourselves and how somatic awareness, creative expression, and gentle self-forgiveness can guide us back.


This episode is an invitation to soften, slow down, and remember: your body has always been trying to protect you.


In this episode, you’ll hear about:

  • How intuition speaks through the body
  • Why forgiveness often starts with self-trust
  • The role of somatic and creative healing in trauma recovery
  • How to rebuild a loving relationship with your inner guidance
