Selah - A Deep Pause
It's a place to begin the journey back to self. Where through stories, simple truth and vulnerability we may begin the process of shedding, removing the masks, and finding a way back to yourself.
Selah - A Deep Pause
My Body Knew: The Cost of Quiet
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Selah, Laura and Krissi explore what happens when your body knows something before your mind is ready to admit it.
From childhood conditioning to adult relationships, many of us were trained to override our signals in the name of being polite, spiritual, patient, or “measured.” Over time, that quiet comes at a cost. Not always in lost relationships or outcomes, but in delayed boundaries, second guessing, and erosion of self-trust.
Laura shares personal reflections on early marriage, masking, agency, and the moment of “enough.” Together, they unpack what it means to reclaim authority without creating rupture, and how awareness becomes the first step toward alignment.
In this conversation:
• What “agency” actually means and how we unconsciously give it away
• The difference between contraction and expansion in the body
• Masking, self-abandonment, and nervous system conditioning
• How to listen without needing to fix or prove
• Simple ways to start noticing your first signal
This episode is not about confrontation. It’s about awareness.
If something in you leans back, tightens, or expands, that is information. The work is not to overanalyze it. The work is to notice.
Laura closes with a prayer for discernment, sovereignty, and the courage to respond when your body speaks.
