Your Body Knows
Your Body Knows is a podcast for Black and brown women who want to get unstuck, find their voices, and become visible without apology. Hosted by somatic life coach, writer and veteran publicist Shanetta McDonald, this podcast explores the messy, beautiful work of healing, self-trust, and becoming at home in your own skin. Through real conversations, coaching insights, and personal reflections, you'll learn how to listen to your body’s wisdom, rewrite old narratives, and build a life that feels aligned — not just good on paper. Whether you're navigating a transition, feeling stuck, or just starting to ask bigger questions, this is a place for your real self to land. Your body already knows the way. Let's listen.

Social justice advocate Evelyn LaChapelle offers the Motif community a glimpse into the impact the War on Drugs has had on people of color. As a board member of The Last Prisoner’s Project, Evelyn and the non-profit are devoted to criminal justice reform for the over 40,000 people incarcerated for cannabis crimes at all stages, including clemency, release, reentry, and record expunging. In her conversation with host Shanetta, Evelyn opens up about the life experiences and relationships, that led to her 87 month prison sentence for a minor role in a marijuana distribution operation, propelling her into her life’s work.
