Podcasts about listening to your body

In this fascinating episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, Heather Creekmore is joined by Dr. Brook Sheehan to explore the topic of listening to your body—addressing misconceptions, fears, and spiritual questions that often come up in conversations about health and self-care. Dr. Brook Sheehan shares her powerful personal story, including growing up in a conventional medical model, her diagnosis with cerebral palsy, and her journey to becoming a chiropractor. Through her experiences, Dr. Brook discusses how she moved from ignoring her body’s signals to idolizing health—and finally, to navigating a balanced, grace-filled approach to honoring the wisdom God built into our bodies. Highlights include: The difference between bodily wisdom and New Age thinking from a Christian perspective How tuning into simple “this or that” decisions each day can help rebuild trust with your body Destigmatizing emotional eating and recognizing that body signals aren’t always black and white Practical cues to listen for—like cravings, random sneezing, and dry skin—and how to respond with compassion and wisdom Encouragement for everyone who feels “broken” or out of touch with what their body needs The importance of grace over perfection in both spiritual and physical health Dr. Brook also offers her “Body Signal Decoder” as a valuable resource for listeners who want to decode common body signals from a holistic perspective, covering physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pillars.

In this episode of Candidly with Coffee, we unpack why this popular advice is often misunderstood and misapplied, especially in midlife. They explain how “listening to your body” can quietly turn into avoidance, self-sabotage, or constantly giving yourself a pass and how true self-awareness actually requires a balance of discipline, structure, and compassion.This conversation is about finding the middle ground: not being overly rigid and punishing, but not being so flexible that nothing ever changes.What you'll learn: • Why “listening to your body” is not the same as honoring your long-term goals • How comfort-seeking and emotional cues can override logic and consistency • The difference between self-respect and self-indulgence • Why structure creates freedom — especially in midlife • How to rebuild self-trust without burnout or all-or-nothing thinking • When your body needs rest… and when it needs directionIf you've been stuck in cycles of starting over, second-guessing yourself, or feeling conflicted between discipline and grace, this episode will help you reframe what listening to your body should actually look like.#mindsetshift #midlifehealth #selftrust #consistencyoverperfection #fatlossmindset #womenshealthover40 #candidlywithcoffee #podcast

Send us a textIn this deeply nourishing episode of Life of Love, Julie Hilsen welcomes Beth Mielbrecht, a mechanical engineer and energy stabilizer and shifter, to explore what happens when we truly listen to the wisdom of our bodies. Beth shares her powerful journey into subtle energy awareness—sparked by motherhood—and how engineering, Reiki, homeopathy, and deep listening are not separate paths, but expressions of the same universal intelligence. Together, Julie and Beth discuss: How the body communicates through subtle signals we often ignoreWhy alignment—not force—is the key to healing, clarity, and magnetismThe emotional and energetic meaning behind hair, hormones, and transitionsLetting go of old identities without dishonoring who we've beenHow trapped emotions, stress, and environmental toxins block vitalityWhy nourishment, elimination, and emotional processing must work togetherWhat happens when women stop “covering up” and start living authenticallyThis conversation is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and trust the intelligence already living within you. ✨ Whether you're navigating perimenopause, career transitions, motherhood, healing, or simply feeling called to live more honestly—this episode reminds you that your body already knows the way. 

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Donna Noble, whose relationship with yoga began like many others, as a place of relief, structure and support during a demanding corporate career (a likely cause of the Bells Palsy she suffered with). Over time, though, something shifted. The very practices that once helped her began to feel uncomfortable, confusing and at odds with her body.Donna shares what it was like to realise that forcing herself into familiar shapes was no longer serving her, and how questioning long held assumptions about yoga opened the door to a very different way of moving and practising.We explore how pain, discomfort and persistent niggles are often normalised in yoga spaces, and why so many students assume the problem is their body rather than the method. This conversation is about curiosity, unlearning and the courage to pause when something no longer feels right.A thoughtful episode for anyone who has ever wondered why yoga stopped feeling supportive, or sensed there might be another way.About DonnaDonna Noble is an author, and speaker on body positivity, diversity and inclusion, social justice, wellbeing and Yoga.Donna's personal mission has always been to improve diversity and inclusion in the Yoga and wellbeing space and within corporate environments, whilst also championing health and wellbeing for everyone.Donna continually works towards making a difference and leaving behind a legacy of greater diversity and inclusion.Donna shares her passion for promoting health and wellbeing and creating inclusive spaces within the yoga and wellbeing industry in a light-hearted and accessible way.  She was also one of the original co-creators of the UK's first Black Fitness Festival in 2020Donna has delivered numerous workshops, at conferences and for various organisations on diversity inclusion, social justice and body positivity.

Send us a textWhat if the foods we reach for to feel better are actually adding to our pain? In this episode, we talk honestly about the pain–comfort–inflammation loop, sharing our own stories of mystery aches, stiff mornings, and the subtle clues our bodies were giving us all along. We explore overlooked signs of inflammation—like puffy faces in photos, tight rings, itchy scalps, burning skin, and that heavy stiffness that drains the desire to move. We also unpack common surprises, like how drinking something all day can still lead to dehydration, why artificial sweeteners matter, and how simple chair exercises can help when walking hurts. Along the way, we share personal experiments—taking a break from gluten, easing off diet sodas, trying dairy alternatives—and how quickly pain eased and energy began to return.Instead of rules or shame, we focus on curiosity, prayer, and gentle testing. We talk about what real freedom looks like—not eating anything anytime, but choosing what supports healing so we can show up fully for the people and purposes we love. With a faith-first lens, we offer six grace-based steps: inviting God into the process, noticing patterns without obsessing, running short single-variable experiments, prioritizing water, practicing gentle movement, and renewing the mind with truth. There's no one-size-fits-all and no pressure to be perfect—just compassionate guidance and practical tools to help you feel better. If this resonates, press play, try one small change this week, and let us know which experiment you're starting.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

What if the universe has been leaving you breadcrumbs all along, and you've been too busy planning to notice them?Host, Dr. Katie Deming shares how she completely transformed her approach to life after her shared death experience and leaving Western medicine. Instead of forcing goals and pushing through obstacles, she now follows signs and synchronicities that appear in her daily life. She explains the difference between these two concepts and why paying attention to them opens up possibilities you could never plan for yourself. Through personal stories that range from broken laptops to missing keys, she shows how even frustrating moments might be protecting you from something you can't see yet.The heart of the conversation centers on a remarkable story involving a Rolex watch, a midnight intuition, and a dating app Dr. Katie swore she'd never use. What unfolded demonstrates how following seemingly illogical guidance can lead to connections and openings that feel almost magical. Chapters:00:04:10 - Stop Forcing the Plan00:07:02 - Closing a Cycle, Opening a New One00:14:30 - Her Midnight Nudge00:24:30 - When Life Delays You for a Reason00:32:44 - Surrender to What Is, Then Follow the SignsDr. Katie also gets vulnerable about recent losses in her business and personal life, revealing how she's learned to recognize when it's time to let go rather than get dragged through the gravel trying to hold on.Dr. Katie explains how this approach applies directly to healing, particularly when you're faced with a diagnosis that feels like it's derailing your plans.Listen and Learn how to understand why following signs requires patience, how to avoid getting attached to outcomes, and what happens when you trust that the magic ahead is better than anything you could orchestrate yourself.Access the FREE Water Fasting Masterclass Now: https://www.katiedeming.com/the-healing-power-of-fasting/ Transform your hydration with the system that delivers filtered, mineralized, and structured water all in one.

In today's Daily Shift, we explore what it means to listen to your body instead of pushing through exhaustion, irritability, or emotional disconnection. Many of us were taught to override our needs, stay productive at all costs, and ignore the signals our nervous system sends when it's overwhelmed. But your body isn't failing you — it's communicating. This short episode is a reminder that the shift isn't always about doing more. Sometimes, it's about pausing without guilt, noticing what your system needs, and choosing safety over pressure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why feeling tired or overwhelmed isn't a personal failure How your nervous system communicates through your body A gentle reframe for moments when you feel "off" Why slowing down is a form of awareness, not weakness Let today be about listening instead of fixing.

If you're tired to your bones, craving soup and bread, and wondering why you can't seem to keep up with… well, anything right now, you're not alone. In this episode, Michelle shares her own recent crash into winter exhaustion (including a 12-hour sleep after Black Friday) and walks you through what's actually happening in your body and nervous system at this time of year. She explains how shorter days, less light, and constant holiday demands set the stage for both physical hibernation and emotional burnout—and how diet culture swoops in to sell you control, discipline, and “New Year, New You” just when you're most vulnerable. Instead of seeing winter as a problem to solve, Michelle offers practical ways to honour your body's need for rest, comfort, and gentler rhythms, so you can move through this season with more compassion and less self-blame.In this episode, you'll hear about:Why winter fatigue is normal, not a moral failingHow reduced daylight affects melatonin, serotonin, circadian rhythms, mood, and motivation—and why your body naturally shifts into energy conservation mode.Comfort food cravings as protection, not a problemWhy those longings for soups, stews, bread, and “soul food” are your body's way of seeking warmth, stability, and nervous-system soothing.The winter + burnout combo that fuels diet cultureHow emotional labour, family dynamics, holiday busyness, and end-of-year reflection create peak burnout—and make quick-fix body plans feel extra tempting.The burnout-to-diet-culture pipelineWhy exhaustion makes us cling to rules, plans, and “resets,” and how to pause and ask: Is this actually care, or is this control?Gentle structures instead of rigid rulesIdeas for soft “anchor points” like warm breakfasts, a few minutes of daylight, earlier bedtimes, and other rhythms that support you without demanding a full-body transformation.Getting curious about cravingsHow to ask what your cravings are offering—comfort, warmth, connection, pleasure—and ways to meet those needs with food and non-food nourishment.Letting yourself rest without earning itA reminder that rest is not a reward for productivity; it's part of the natural winter rhythm your body is designed for.Michelle's personal winter ritualsFrom Indian takeout and daily baths to a tech-free “cocoon” room with records and candles, Michelle shares how she's been giving herself permission to slow down and just be.If you're craving permission to stop fighting your winter body and start listening to it, this episode is your invitation to exhale. Winter is not a test you're failing. It's a season your body is already navigating—with wisdom you can learn to trust.Connect with Michelle:Instagram: @wayzahealthEmail: michelle@wayzahealth.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Have you ever wondered why “eating clean” still isn't working for you?In this episode, I sit down with nutrition expert Andrea Nicholson, who shares her powerful journey through decades of trial-and-error diets, mystery symptoms, conflicting nutrition advice, and the moment she finally discovered what her body actually needed.We explore why mainstream diet rules often fail, how to recognize when your nutrition isn't serving you, and what it really takes to find the right plan for your unique biology.This conversation is raw, real, and packed with insights that challenge everything you've been taught about “healthy eating.”Listen to the full episode for the complete conversation and deeper insights!Topics CoveredWhy “perfect diets” stop working — and what that really meansThe danger of following generalized diet adviceWhy plant-based, low-fat, or high-fiber diets can work… until they don'tHow gut health, digestive enzymes, and microbial diversity impact nutritionSigns your diet isn't right for you (even if it's “healthy”)The role of stress, sleep, and lifestyle in digestion and inflammationWhy we must evolve our nutrition as our body and life changeHow testing, data, and curiosity can guide sustainable breakthroughsReleasing old beliefs around carbs, fats, and proteinWhy experimentation—not restriction—is the way forwardListen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community here: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transformWant to go deeper?

In this episode, I dive deeper into a topic that has the power to change the way we move through our lives: our energetic yes and our energetic no. After betrayal or years of people-pleasing, it's common to lose touch with the truth your body is trying to communicate. Today, I explore how to recognize the physical signatures of alignment — the openness of a yes, the contraction of a no — long before the logical mind tries to negotiate, justify, or override them. I share examples from my own life, moments when choosing alignment meant disappointing others, and why honoring my energetic truth has become a key part of rebuilding self-trust. I also offer practical guidance for how to pause, listen, and make decisions in real time, even when fear or doubt follow closely behind. If you're trying to navigate life after infidelity or simply want to reconnect with your inner guidance, this episode will help you listen more closely and lead yourself with integrity. Takeaways: How your body signals yes and no in real time Why your first sensation is more honest than your thoughts How honoring your truth rebuilds self-trust Practical steps for tuning into your energetic signals If you want support applying this work to your own healing, reach out.

Work sometimes triggers our fight‑or‑flight responses—especially in agency life. In this episode, Galen sits down with leadership coach and operations strategist Abigail Jones and project manager/coach Matthew Fox to explore what happens when we ignore the signals our bodies are giving us, and how tapping into our “body intelligence” can help us lead more consciously in a technology‑driven world. They unpack how our nervous systems get hijacked by stress in modern work, how noticing our physical responses becomes a tool (not just a symptom), and how teams and agencies can shift culture to reclaim better performance and wellbeing.This is a grounded, real‑world conversation—no fluff—about how our bodies, our minds, and our projects intersect.Resources from this episode:Join the Digital Project Manager CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with Abigail on LinkedIn and InstagramCheck out SouthleftConnect with Matthew on LinkedIn and The BureauThe Leadership Circle Profile assessment What it is: The most comprehensive 360-degree leadership assessment that measures both competencies (what you do) and internal assumptions (how you think)Why I use it: It's the only tool I've found that measures both reactive leadership patterns (controlling, protecting, complying) and creative leadership capacities (relating, self-awareness, authenticity, systems thinking)Visual profile shows leaders exactly where they're operating from fear vs. trustI'm certified to administer and interpret this assessmentSomatic & Body Intelligence PracticesWindow of Tolerance (from Polyvagal Theory): there's a "window" where you can think clearly and respond consciously.

Listening to your body (HOUR 2) - October 12th, 2025

In an industry obsessed with outward appearances, what if we made decisions by listening to our body and not just looking at it? If clothing choices came from a place of self-awareness, how would that change the way we design products and run fashion businesses? Victoria Lister approaches her work from this perspective. In episode 124, she shares what made her start listening to her body and what that has meant for her underwear and lounge brand Hummingbird Pie. Victoria is the founder and owner-operator of Hummingbird Pie, an Australian-based, micro-business that has supplied women with luxe, everyday basics since 2015. The business was born from Victoria's personal quest to solve the problem of thigh chafing without resorting to shapewear – a challenge that led her to create Hummingbird Pie's flagship product, long-legged underpants known as ‘Longerpants'. Today, the range has expanded to include outer as well as underwear, designed to help women of all ages, stages, shapes and sizes to feel at home in themselves – not reshaped, but supported, relaxed and free to be. Hummingbird Pie fits in and around Victoria's work as a researcher, with the help of her wonderful husband and two dear friends who work casually on different aspects of business, and local suppliers and manufacturers. This episode explores: Fitting the customer How the Hummingbird Pie target customer has expanded since the start of the business The mindset that unites Hummingbird Pie customers What makes Hummingbird Pie garments different The relationship Victoria wants her customers to have with Hummingbird Pie clothes Fitting the lifestyle The challenges of scaling a cottage business Why new products don't always start with design What gave Victoria the courage to start a business The behind the scenes lifestyle that supports Victoria's business Fitting the values How Victoria's self-awareness and valuing her body influences her approach to design Why Victoria prefers working with other collaborators instead of learning how to do everything herself People and resources mentioned in this episode: Hummingbird Pie website Hummingbird Pie email Hummingbird Pie Instagram Victoria's LinkedIn Do you want fashion business tips and resources like this sent straight to your inbox?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with “health detective” Beth Mielbrecht about moving beyond trial-and-error wellness. Beth blends engineering-style problem solving with energetic and bioindividual approaches to help people identify root causes—rather than silencing symptoms. From digestion and detox to stress, grief, and belief systems, she explains how tuning into your body's signals can drive practical change in daily choices. This direct conversation challenges “it's just age/genetics” thinking and offers a clear path: ask better questions, listen closely, and take aligned action.   About the guest : Beth Mielbrecht, known as a “health detective,” combines a background in mechanical engineering with training in Reiki, homeopathy, and bioenergetic testing. She helps clients uncover individualized root causes and create targeted next steps—without medical diagnosis or one-size-fits-all fixes.   Key takeaways:   Your body is not the enemy—it's always trying to heal; symptoms are messages, not mistakes. Treating pain without asking “why now, why here?” can mute signals but miss the root cause. Daily elimination, safe detoxification, and reducing exposure to common toxins can unlock stalled progress. Emotions matter: grief and chronic stress often map onto physical weak spots (e.g., lungs, adrenals, thyroid). Beliefs shape outcomes; closing the door on possibility narrows what you try—and what works. Practical cadence: ask specific questions → listen to what changes symptoms → act on small, testable steps. Track patterns (food, sleep, people, places) to see what reliably helps or harms. “Whole-body” isn't anti-medicine; it's expanding your health team and methods when standard paths stall. Gentle, personalized support (e.g., homeopathic/energetic tools) can increase capacity to move, engage, and live. Progress compounds: relief in one area (e.g., joints) can catalyze energy, mood, and life decisions.   How to connect with the guest  : Website: yourhealthwithbeth.comSocial: @YourHealthWithBethFree quiz available on the website.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

This conversation traces what happens when yoga is not just a class but a way of living. Harmony speaks with nutritionist and longtime Ashtanga practitioner Karolina Zakrzewska about two decades in India, managing Purple Valley in Goa, opening the Tenerife sister center, and how dedication to practice intersected with her recovery from disordered eating.

A longtime Ashtanga practitioner, she managed Purple Valley in Goa for many years and helped launch its partner retreat in Tenerife.

In this episode, I sit down with Erica Hornthal, licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance/movement therapist, to explore the transformative power of movement for emotional and mental health.

Established in 2012, the mission for witsup.com is to break down the barriers of entry for women to the sport but also to give women in the sport the recognition they deserve (at a time when women's sports is often relegated to a few sentences).Normally the interviewer, I turn the tables on Stef and share her journey. We discuss how we are all prone to worry about what other people think (despite how confident we might otherwise be), why women's sports has such a low profile (and what Stef is doing to change that), Stef's struggle with adrenal fatigue in recent years as well as the importance of looking after yourself, switching off and recharging your batteries.

When was the last time you truly listened to your body? Those whispers of "I don't feel right" or "I'm so tired" aren't just inconveniences – they're crucial messages that deserve your attention.In this deeply personal conversation, health and mindset coach Andrea Joy shares her harrowing journey from severe burnout to vibrant health. After opening her own business at 26 while caring for her mother with stage four cancer, Andrea found herself facing multiple autoimmune conditions, including lupus symptoms and hypothyroidism. Despite doctors telling her she was "fine" or that her symptoms were "normal," she knew something was wrong."That's where I really try to educate my clients," Andrea explains. "Listen to those whispers of 'I don't feel so good, I'm feeling anxious, I'm feeling burnt out.' Even if a doctor says you're okay – you know what's best."For entrepreneurs especially, this episode offers invaluable wisdom on preventing burnout before it takes hold. Andrea outlines practical strategies for creating your personal wellness "toolbox" and incorporating self-care directly into your business plan, not as an afterthought but as a foundation for sustainable success.Whether you're facing burnout now, recovering from health challenges, or simply want to build resilience before problems arise, this conversation offers compassionate, experienced guidance to help you thrive, not just survive. Subscribe now and join our community of women committed to vibrant, intuitive, beautiful, and empowered living.Bio Andrea's nutritional journey has been a powerful testament to listening to her body's needs. After five years on a vegan diet, she transitioned to Keto in 2020 to address her health needs more deeply. Then, in May 2024, she made the switch to a Carnivore diet, and the results have been nothing short of transformative.Since embracing Carnivore, Andrea has experienced a profound shift in her health. She gained 20 pounds of strength, steadily reversing more autoimmune symptoms that had persisted for years. The benefits have been undeniable: higher energy levels, no more intense cravings for sugar or carbs, and even the return of a regular menstrual cycle after two years of inconsistency. Andrea believes food is our medicine and the importance of tapping into your body to understand what your body is asking for to thrive!Social Media and Bio Website FacebookInstagramYouTubeLinkedInTikTokWe hope you have enjoyed this episode.

“You should listen to your body” — but what does that actually mean? In this episode, we're breaking down one of the most common (and confusing) pieces of advice in the intuitive eating space: how to actually understand how food makes you feel. If you've ever thought, “I want to listen to my body… but I have no idea what I'm listening for,” this one's for you. We walk through the real-life barriers that block us from tuning in — like busyness, distraction, diet rules, and self-worth — and then guide you through simple ways to reconnect with your internal cues.
