The Intuitive Drop | Body-based Healing for Real, Messy Life
Somatic healing and nervous system regulation for women who've done the work and still feel stuck. Hosted by Lesley Turner, somatic practitioner and intuitive coach. We unpack emotional patterns, body-based healing, intuition, and the moments that activate us — parenting, relationships, work, and unexpected turns — and what they reveal about the deeper imprints we carry in the body. If you've tried therapy, read the books, know all the tools, and still can't get out of your own way — this is for you. No performative healing. Just real awareness that creates real change. lesleyturner.ca

Elaine Timms built a Pinterest strategy business that grew to 100K sessions/month, sold a blog for five figures, and has spent almost eight years helping entrepreneurs get their content working long after they hit publish. She's also someone who spent years in fight-or-flight without knowing it — outsmarting everything, including herself.
In this conversation, Elaine and I talk about what actually shifted when ...
You've been telling yourself you're fine. Your shoulders tell a different story.
Five months ago I noticed something. I assessed it - clinically, carefully - and decided it could wait. What followed was a mammogram, a biopsy, a titanium clip, and eventually a day surgery where I showed up in a brown hospital robe to the worst TOGA party in history!
This isn't a medical story. It's a nervous system one....
If you've tried and quit every workout routine you've ever started, this isn't a discipline problem. It's a nervous system problem.
I share the honest story of every movement format that didn't work for my body - including a spin class that ended disgustingly - and what I finally figured out about why. We get into what cortisol actually does, the difference between discomfort that grows you and discomfort that ...
There are incredible posts about the eldest daughter all over social media. They talk aobut burnout, resentment, the productivity that never stops. They're not wrong. But they're not the full story either. The wound isn't just being asked to do too much - it's that existing without function started to feel like disappearing. This episode goes deeper than the content you've already seen.
And if you want to go all...
Britt Holmes built a business, got knocked sideways by life, and came back - not the same way, but more herself. We talk about business, family, ADHD, and what it actually looks like to rebuild after the kind of hard that doesn't have a clean narrative.
Britt is an ads and media specialist, founder of Merit Media and Founders Advisory, and one of the most honest people I know. This one goes places.

Within 60 seconds on a dating app, I knew.
Not with my brain - with my whole body. This episode is about what it felt like to have a full-body yes and a full-body no, and how that same somatic awareness showed up in my business long before I had a name for it. If you've ever second-guessed what you already knew, this is that episode.

I don't feel mom guilt. Not saying that to be provocative - I'm saying it because the way we talk about mom guilt is keeping women stuck in smallness. This episode is about what mom guilt actually is, where it comes from in the nervous system, and why all the reframing in the world doesn't touch it. And what starts to happen when it finally begins to loosen.

I paid $15,000 for a program my intuition told me to walk away from. And when it came time to say it wasn't working - I didn't ask for a single dollar back. That wasn't a financial decision. That was a pattern making decisions on my behalf. The over-explaining. The going cold. The avoiding until it becomes a crisis. The shrinking when you need to stay present. That's not a leadership problem. It's so much older than...
Nobody in my family abandoned themselves this week. Not Tyson. Not Jarrett. Not me - even when it would have been easier to push through, perform fine, and call it responsible. This episode is about what it actually looks like to not disappear in the small moments. The costume on the table. The cancelled week. The thing you've been carrying and calling not a big deal. Your body knows the difference. It always does.
You've done the therapy. Read the books. You can name the pattern, trace it back, explain exactly where it started. And you're still doing it.
This episode is about why - and it's not what most people tell you. We get into the difference between understanding a pattern and actually completing it, why you can't think your way out of body-level encoding, and what epigenetics tells us about the patterns you may ha...
She had a full-body no. She said yes anyway. Puja Malhotra of Roop Creative Agency joins me to talk about growing up inside immigrant success culture, what it costs to override what your body already knows, and the moment it finally said enough before her brain caught up. This conversation goes deep into the places where identity, achievement, and nervous system patterns collide.

lost my voice at a women's event. Not metaphorically - I actually lost it. And it turned out to be the most visible I'd ever felt. This episode is about what it looks like when a pattern releases somewhere you didn't plan, a room full of women who actually get it, and what I built on the other side of that moment.

What if the anger you're carrying isn't even yours? This episode pulls on a thread I've been sitting with for a while - one that goes deeper than coping skills and breathing techniques.
The Anger Tree is a framework for understanding where anger actually lives in the body, where it comes from, and what it's trying to tell you. We're not unpacking the whole thing today. We're planting a seed.

In Part 1, I told you why I walked away. In Part 2, I go into why the medical system has been failing women for decades — what the research actually says, what I kept seeing in my practice that changed everything, and what becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your answers. This episode is for any woman who has ever been dismissed, minimized, or handed a prescription when something else entirely was going...
I had the title. The license. The patients I loved. And a slow-burning anger I kept pushing down for years. This is the episode I haven't told on the podcast yet - why I walked away from naturopathic medicine after 11 years, how my own emotions were trying to tell me something long before I was ready to listen, and where the SEER Method actually came from.
Spoiler: it started in my parents' basement.

We spend so much energy trying not to pass down our pain - we forget we're also passing down our magic. The songs. The rituals. The way we recover after we lose it. The way we honour a quiet no. This episode started with Thunderstruck playing in a delivery room and ended with a six-year-old teaching me about boundaries. It's about generational patterns - the ones worth keeping.

In long-term relationships we don't just communicate with words - we communicate through our nervous systems. This episode is about the difference between attunement and enmeshment, why you can feel your partner's stress before they've said a single word, and how childhood conditioning shapes that sensitivity. If you've ever wondered why you're anxious or activated and nothing has even happened yet - this is the epi...
What does it actually mean to magnetize your business - and what happens when the energy is off? I sit down with Chelsea Schreiner (@alignedbychelsea) to talk about the energetics of running a business, why so many women keep hitting the same invisible ceiling, and where self-trust and money are more connected than we think. This one goes places.

I'm a former naturopath and current somatic practitioner. I should know this body inside and out. And yet. This episode is me speaking from the messy middle of perimenopause - not from the other side, not with a protocol. We talk about pain, irritability, cravings, and how stress hits differently when your body is in a hormonal season. The inner work doesn't make us immune to being human. This episode is about liste...
It wasn't really about the car. The moment it happened I felt something in my body that had nothing to do with a parking lot - and everything to do with patterns I'd lived inside for years. This episode is about what it looks like when your nervous system reacts to a perceived threat based on old experience, how to stay present when you're triggered, and what self-compassion actually feels like in the body when you ...
