High Capacity – Nervous System Regulation, Stress Management, Burnout Recovery, Somatic Tools, Anxiety, Boundaries, Overwhelm

Our intuition is our superpower.  Women’s brains were created with unique abilities to quickly integrate our intuition and rational thinking.  It’s a God-given gift. 

Yet so many of us are patterned to look to external references to guide our lives, that we’ve become disconnected from the wisdom of our intuition. 

When we’re not familiar with the guidance that comes through us, it can be hard to discern the voice of our intuition.

In today’s episode, I coach you through some tips for reconnecting with your intuition and quick practices to help you discern whether the voice you’re hearing is your intuition, or if it’s actually fear or your ego talking.

If you've ever been on a diet, you know how overcomplicated our relationship with food can get.  But healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated.

Victoria Yates is an expert in helping you become the healthiest version of yourself without dieting, tracking calories and macros, or restricting the foods you love.

In this conversation, Victoria shares how intuitive eating teaches us to fuel our bodies in a way that allows us to show up as our healthiest selves – mind, body, and soul.

Three things you’ll learn in this episode:

1. How intuitive eating differs from dieting
2. Why as moms, our relationship with food and our bodies is so important
3. How to love our body even when we might not like how it looks

“Our body image plays such a huge role in our relationship with food. The cultural message is if you don't like your body, then the answer is to lose weight or change your body. It actually has nothing to do with how our body looks, and everything to do with how we think about our bodies. No matter what physical changes we've gone through, we can still have a good relationship with our bodies.” – Victoria Yates

In order to actually create new thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and emotions, we must access our somatic intelligence.  Somatic = relating to the body.

It’s one thing to conceptually understand how you want to show up in your life, but it’s a whole other ballgame to actually be able to do it in light of the patterning of your nervous system.

Change and growth that’s focused only on the mind, i.e., cognitive learning, will only get you so far because you’re leaving out the rest of your body from the neck down.

Listen to this episode to learn how to train your body to show up more powerfully for life!

“A lot of us are just dying inside. Trying to be someone that we're not - trying to be the thinnest, or the prettiest, or the richest, or the most successful - and we are so disconnected from our bodies. So, it's really about asking yourself, “How do I feel today? What does my body need in this moment?” – Phoebe Greenacre
