In this episode, JJ talks with movement and expressive arts therapist Cathy Williams, who helps women reconnect with the body’s wisdom through somatic and creative practices.Cathy shares how ignoring her intuition in a past relationship led her to this work and how many women are conditioned to override discomfort, minimize their emotions, or talk themselves out of what they feel. Together, they explore the body’s subtle cues, why emotions must be felt rather than bypassed, and how unprocessed feelings can build into overwhelm or shutdown.Website: https://www.intuitiveself.com.au/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/intuitiveself__ YT: https://www.youtube.com/@Intuitive_Self FB: https://www.facebook.com/IntuitiveSelfCathyW/ LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathywilliams-intuitiveself/ Her book Body Wisdom and upcoming oracle deck invite women to rediscover their inner signals and create compassionate space for what’s rising. Topics: • How women learn to override intuition • Body cues that signal truth • Somatic tools for real-time emotional regulation• Rebuilding trust with yourself after self-abandonmentBio: Cathy Williams is a Melbourne-born and based Award-winning Author and trail-blazer in the world of body based healing and creative arts therapy. Disconnected from her body and fractured from her mind, Cathy had lost herself at the hands of a psychologically abusive relationship and system that failed her.
