What if healing your body is also a way of healing your faith? In this episode of POD Strangely Warmed, Rev. Daniel Hawkins sits down with Nicole Melrose of Conventional Wisdom to explore how embodiment, breath, and spiritual awareness help us reconnect with God and one another.

Nicole shares how slowing down, tuning in, and understanding our own nervous systems can open the door to peace, presence, and deeper community. Together, they discuss polyvagal theory, somatic prayer, and how the church itself can be a space of co-regulation and healing.

"We're always healing, and our bodies are always moving toward a miracle." — Nicole Melrose

This conversation reminds us that healing doesn't happen alone — it happens in relationship, in worship, and in every moment we remember that our bodies, too, are part of God's good creation.
