What if your anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, or burnout isn't something to fight—but a message your body has been trying to deliver all along? Bestselling author and somatic healing expert Liz Tenuto is here to explore how trauma becomes stored in the body, why so many women feel disconnected from themselves, and how simple daily somatic practices can begin restoring safety, peace, and resilience. Liz vulnerably shares her own journey through childhood sexual assault, chronic pain, insomnia, and years of searching for answers before discovering somatic movement. Together, Alexis and Liz unpack embodiment, nervous system regulation, women's relationship with their bodies, modern stress, AI and disconnection, healing through movement, and why your body may be the most honest guide you'll ever have.
"Your body can't lie. It's the most honest messenger you'll ever have." - Liz Tenuto
