Are you exhausted from feeling like your body is your enemy? In this powerful solo episode, host Holly B. shares a transformative approach for women with lupus and other autoimmune conditions: stop fighting your body and start partnering with it for real, sustainable healing.

Holly dives deep into the science of nervous system regulation, the emotional toll of chronic illness, and the practical mindset shifts that can help you break free from the cycle of flares, fatigue, and frustration. Drawing from her own journey and the experiences of her clients, Holly offers honest, actionable strategies to help you build trust with your body, reduce inflammation, and reclaim your energy.

In this episode, you'll learn and take away:

• Why seeing your body as the enemy keeps you stuck in inflammation—and how to shift into a healing partnership instead (1:00)

• The real science behind your nervous system, stress, and autoimmune flares, and how beliefs like "my body hates me" can perpetuate symptoms (1:30, 4:30)

• The "micro pause" method: a simple, practical tool to interrupt fear, soften tension, and communicate safety to your body (21:15)

• How to build interoception (body awareness) and listen to your body's whispers before they become screams, plus why tracking symptoms with curiosity (not fear) can help you spot patterns and respond with compassion (15:00, 18:00)

• The physiological benefits of ending the internal war: better sleep, more stable energy, improved immune signaling, and a sense of coming home to yourself (24:45)

• Healing is not about overhauling your life overnight. It's about micro-pivots, self-compassion, and building trust with your body, one moment at a time. You are not alone—there is a path to feeling at home in your body again. (25:00)
