E5 - From Knowing to Embodying: What It Really Takes to Create Change in Your Life

Welcome back to Let’s Get Spiritual with Chanel and Sarah! This episode is a deep, grounded look at what it really means to heal — and why, even after years of mindset work, therapy, and personal development, so many women still feel stuck in the same patterns.We explore the difference between knowing and embodying, and how trauma—big or small—stores in the body and continues to shape your decisions, reactions, and self-perception. Sarah shares her personal experience with PTSD and the surprising things that actually helped her heal (spoiler: it wasn’t more talking).If you’ve ever thought, “I know better… so why do I keep doing this?” — this episode will speak directly to you. We break down how to move beyond intellectual understanding into deep, somatic change. You’ll also learn about the two key healing pathways and why both are essential if you want real transformation.Key Talking PointsThe trap of “doing the work” without real changeMindset vs embodiment: why thinking isn’t the same as healingWhat trauma actually is and how it gets stored in the bodyHow to rewire your subconscious beyond just thinking differentlyThe real key to creating the life you want (and it’s not more learning).Links and Resources MentionedBooks to read:When the Body Says No - Gabor MateTo work with Sarah: For deep 1:1 transformation - https://www.sarahscullyleaf.com/tew For one-off sessions - email [email protected] access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) - https://sarahscullyleaf.myflodesk.com/breathworkConnect with Sarah:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahscullyleafConnect with Chanel:Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/etherealsoulcodesDon't Forget ToSubscribe to the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/66jHJvKtZfuObhR9uxuy7ZApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lets-get-spiritual-podcast/id1803752354Follow us on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/letsgetspiritualpodcastKey Takeaway from the EpisodeWhat got you here won’t get you there — and what will get you there is different choices.- Sarah Scully-Leaf
