110- Is Your Core Helping Or Hurting You// What It Means to Have a Strong Core

Summary:

Let’s talk about the part of your body that’s holding more than just your organs — your core is your emotional center, your nervous system translator, and your power source. But is yours actually supporting you… or silently sabotaging your healing?

In this episode, I break down:

• The difference between a braced, reactive core and a functional, responsive one

• Why gripping, leaking, pressure, or pain are signs your core is protecting, not failing

• The role of breath, boundaries, and softness in true core rehab

• How to know if your system is compensating — and what to do about it

• The pathway inside RESTORE to rewire your body for safety + strength
