What this episode covers
Many women feel disconnected from their bodies, stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and self-sabotage — especially when navigating chronic conditions like PCOS or healing from past trauma. In this powerful episode of PCOS Unfiltered, Lindsie sits down with embodiment mentor, Gene Keys guide, and yoga instructor Shauna Hawkes to explore how women can reconnect with their bodies and reclaim their inner wisdom. Shauna shares her deeply personal story of growing up in a traumatic environment and how that experience led her to live almost entirely in her mind — constantly analyzing, questioning, and doubting herself. Her healing journey began through therapy, but it was ultimately through embodiment practices like yoga and nervous system regulation that she discovered how to move from survival mode into true self-trust. Together, Lindsie and Shauna discuss why so many women struggle to make decisions, how fear fuels self-sabotage, and why learning to listen to the body is a crucial step in emotional and hormonal balance. Shauna also introduces the Gene Keys, a contemplative system that helps people understand their emotional patterns, shadow behaviors, and innate gifts — offering a pathway toward deeper self-awareness and transformation. If you've ever felt stuck in your head, unsure how to move forward, or disconnected from your body, this conversation offers practical tools and a powerful reminder that healing begins by returning to yourself.
