1265: The Body Keeps Score and Sets Boundaries With Laura Wieck

"Embodiment is the wisdom that comes through from the state you're in." In this episode, Heather and Laura Wieck explore what it really means to live embodied, not as another perfectionist performance, but as a practice of honesty, presence, and listening to the wisdom already alive inside you. Through the lens of parenting a child with autism and the unraveling of old identities, this conversation opens up a powerful dialogue around the ways our bodies hold emotion, where we disconnect from ourselves in the name of 'coping', and how healing often begins with simply noticing what's true without rushing to fix it. This episode is an invitation to soften the performance, reconnect with your internal guidance, and create a way of being that feels alive from the inside out. What to listen for: ☑️ Sitting with uncomfortable emotions and seeing them as the data they are ☑️ How an autism diagnosis taught Laura more about embodied communication "So many women, especially if you're coming from perfectionism or people-pleasing, think, 'If I can get this idea of embodiment right, everything else will just fall into place.' But physiologically speaking, it actually goes the opposite way." ☑️ Our bodies store emotions in our fascia, and how to identify stuck energy ☑️ The power of embodiment is tuning into the wisdom that's already present ☑️ Understanding the three brains in our body that determine alignment "Embodiment starts with noticing the sensations that are present in your body. And the key here is to notice it without the label." ☑️ Two questions you can ask yourself to stop internalizing other people's rules ☑️ Staying connected to your body so that you can hear its wisdom and guidance ☑️ How to get back into alignment while still honoring your children's needs "The more moments you create with yourself to go there, the more you deeply trust your journey of being human and not performing your way through motherhood and life and your career." ☑️ Navigating the difficulty and emotional toll that comes with getting what you want ☑️ What our children teach us and how the body keeps the score to hold healing boundaries **** About Laura Wieck: As the Founder of BodyMind Coaching, Laura has integrated coaching with embodiment practices to help individuals reconnect with their inner wisdom and achieve holistic well-being.
