2. messages from your body

High-achievers are really good at ignoring their bodies. We push through fatigue, work through headaches, and tell ourselves we'll rest when the project is done - except there's always another project. In this episode, I tune into the energy of an aligned, balanced physical body and share three messages about what our bodies are trying to communicate to us. If you've been ignoring the whispers (or the screams), this one's for you.

High-achievers are really good at ignoring their bodies. We push through the fatigue. We work through headaches.We tell ourselves "I'll rest when this project is done" - except there's always another project.


And our bodies? They're patient at first. They whisper. A little tension here, some tiredness there, a gentle nudge that says "hey, I need something from you."


But when we don't listen? The body stops whispering. It starts screaming.


I've been noticing this in myself lately. My body is asking something of me - more movement, more rest, better care - but I'm having trouble actually giving it what it needs. And I know I'm not alone in this.


In this episode, I'm exploring the energy of an aligned body - a body that feels great in life and at work. Here's what came through...
