There comes a moment when you realise your body has been speaking to you all along.
I’m delighted to share I recently joined Samia Estrada on her podcast, Thursday Tea with Sami, for a conversation about reconnecting with your body’s wisdom, safety and radical self-care. It was such a joy to meet Sami and have this conversation together, and I’d love for you to listen in.
We explored what ‘psychological safety’ really means, how trauma, whether big or small, can settle in the body long after the danger has passed, and why symptoms like migraines, eczema or IBS can be your body’s way of communicating what it’s been holding.
I also shared more about my W·I·L·D® framework – Wonder, Intuition, Loving ourselves, and Dancing with Life – along with some simple, practical tools for getting to know your own ‘body vocabulary’, finding safety in stillness and understanding what radical self-care really means.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why trauma isn’t only “big T” events, it’s often cumulative
- How the body stores stress and communicates through symptoms
- The W·I·L·D® framework: Wonder, Intuition, Loving ourselves, Dancing with Life
- Simple grounding and vagus nerve exercises you can put into practice right now
- What radical self-care really means
- How self-compassion helps us work with our inner critic
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, or you’re navigating chronic stress and looking for a gentler way through, we’re sure you’ll get a lot from listening in.
