What would happen if you pressed pause on everything, food, routines, even the noise of everyday life and gave your body the space to speak?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Faith Laux, a somatic sex and relationship coach who faced stage 4 colon cancer and turned to a 14-day water fast. What unfolded went far beyond physical detox. Faith describes how stillness opened her to a sense of presence, connection, and clarity she never expected.

Chapters:

00:08:00 – Day six brings clarity and presence
00:21:09 – Childlike wonder in nature returns
00:26:28 – Shifting from busyness to presence
00:35:15 – Heightened senses and new nourishment
00:51:31 – Rituals, reminders, and lasting change

Together they explore what it means to see fasting not just as a physical reset, but as a sacred appointment with the divine. You’ll hear how moments of simplicity, like sitting barefoot in the grass or savoring the smell of her daughter’s breakfast became doorways into profound healing.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fatigue, cravings, or the relentless pace of life, this conversation will invite you to imagine a different way. One that isn’t about restriction, but about discovering what truly nourishes you; body, mind, and spirit.

Listen and learn how slowing down might just be the most powerful step you can take toward healing.
