Episode 27: When Your Body is Trying to Tell You Something

What if the symptoms you’ve been ignoring… are actually messages?
In this powerful conversation, Carolyn sits down with holistic nutritionist and founder of The Nutrition Steward, Sarah Steward, to explore what it looks like to stop overriding your body—and start listening instead.
After years of being misdiagnosed and dismissed by the healthcare system, Sarah made the decision to take her health into her own hands. Through a holistic approach, she was able to finally understand and manage symptoms that had gone unresolved for years.
Together, they unpack the connection between emotional health, physical symptoms, and alcohol-free living, and how sobriety can become a powerful step toward clarity, healing, and self-trust.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unheard, or disconnected from your body—this conversation will meet you there.
