        • Illuminating the Stories that Bind Us through our Bodies

          For many of us, our bodies can become an afterthought. All of our energy spent on racing thoughts, our to-do list, or where we're headed next.

          Sometimes, we just need a pause.

          Taking the time to listen to the messages our bodies are trying to tell us can lead to a wealth of wisdom. Helping to strengthen that connection between mind and body. Enabling us to process and release emotional tension stored within.

          In this episode, certified Yoga teacher Michelle Gallant joins Jennifer Carey for a discussion about the profound link between physical health and mental wellness. Exploring the idea that our issues are in our tissues, and how our bodies will often hold onto stories and emotions from our past.
