Allergens, Intuition, & Listening to the Body
This week we’re heading into week three of the challenge, and I want to talk about something subtle that can quietly make everything feel harder—your energy, your focus, your patience, even your progress. I’ve been thinking a lot about how often we push through discomfort without ever stopping to ask why it’s there. And how, as women who manage full lives and full calendars, we’re incredibly skilled at overriding ourselves instead of listening.
In today’s shorty episode, I invite you to slow down just enough to notice what your body has been trying to tell you all along. This is about strength without force, awareness without judgment, and learning how to trust yourself again in a world that constantly asks you not to.
If you’ve ever felt like something was “off” but couldn’t quite put your finger on it, this conversation is for you.
Quote of the Week:
“The body is your instrument. Learn to play it well.” — Martha Graham
