In this episode, I’m exploring what happens in our bodies when we feel misunderstood - that familiar urgency to explain ourselves, prove our intentions, or make sure we're still seen as “good” or “respectable.”

Through the lens of somatic awareness and my experience in burlesque, I talk about:

• How old wounds of being unseen or misunderstood can resurface in adulthood
• The ways those wounds can spill out as overexplaining, people-pleasing, or numbing
• Why “being gotten” once felt like safety, and the importance of learning to build that safety on the inside.
• What it means to stay connected to our bodies, even when others don't understand us.

This episode is an invitation - to both you and me - to create enough safety in our inner world that being misunderstood doesn’t have to pull us away from ourselves.
