Have you ever ignored a gut feeling or a signal from your body?
We have absolutely all been there. Learning to embrace the wisdom and power of our own bodies is a life long journey but it is extremely important for our health and well being as women.
This week’s episode features a few very precious highlights from my multi-hour interview with fellow eldest daughter, fellow multi-time diagnosed and trauma survivor, entrepreneur and writer Michal Ann Morrison.
In this episode, we cover:
- How early life messages around obedience and shame influence chronic illness
- The impact of societal and religious conditioning on women's health and self-identity
- How anger and unresolved emotions manifest as physical illness
- The importance of trusting bodily cues as sources of truth
- Strategies for women to reframe their relationship with their bodies and intuition
- The eldest daughter experience and its relevance to women with autoimmune conditions
- Strategies for reframing the relationship between your body, faith and self-care
This episode delves into the deeply personal journey of redefining womanhood, health and self-trust through the lens of autoimmune experiences and spiritual reconnection.
