What Is Your Body Really Telling You?

In this deeply personal solo episode, host Karen Bashford explores the powerful connection between emotional trauma and physical illness.

We judge others.

But what if judgement isn’t just about right or wrong? What if it’s a reflection of our own fears, conditioning, and pain?

In this episode, we’ll explore how judgement shows up in our lives, how it separates us from others and from ourselves and how we can shift from criticism to curiosity.

Let’s go deeper. Let’s get honest.
