Your Body Knows
Your Body Knows is a podcast for women who are tired of surviving and ready to create lives that actually feel good to live.
Hosted by intuitive living coach, writer, and veteran publicist Shanetta McDonald, this podcast explores burnout, nervous system regulation, intuition, creativity, and the messy, beautiful work of coming home to yourself.
Through honest conversations, coaching insights, and personal reflections, you'll learn how to stop repeating old patterns, trust your inner wisdom, and build a life that feels more manageable, aligned, and true to who you are.
Whether you're navigating motherhood, a career transition, or simply asking, "Is this really the life I want?" you're in the right place.
Your body already knows the way. Let's listen.
