Learning to Trust Your Body’s Wisdom

Send us a MessageSometimes your body says hell no long before your mind catches up. In this episode of The Empowered & Embodied Show, we go deep into the language of the body... you know, those visceral yeses and no’s that reveal more than logic ever could.From laughing over quirky Canadian slang that Louise's dad apparently made up and she thought everyone knew about it (“giver tar paper”) to unpacking how emotions, conditioning, and even menopause shape our ability to trust ourselves, this conversation is raw, funny, and deeply real. We explore how alignment, avoidance, and awareness show up in everyday life, and why listening to your body is the ultimate act of self-trust.What you’ll hear in this episode:Why visceral reactions matter (and how to recognize them)The difference between speaking from emotion vs. logicHow avoidance and spiraling signal misalignmentTrusting your body through midlife, hormones, and changePractical ways to reconnect with your body’s wisdomJoin us for a heartfelt, unfiltered conversation about learning to trust yourself one signal at a time.Key moments:00:00 – Welcome & introductions02:26 – Visceral Reactions and Emotional Responses04:39 – Trusting Your Body's Signals07:16 – Navigating Yes and No in Conversations09:44 – The Complexity of Emotions11:51 – Avoidance and Alignment with Values17:59 – Navigating Internal Conflicts20:32 – Emotional Processing and Communication23:25 – Trusting the Body's Signals27:23 – Understanding Hormonal Changes33:00 – The Language of the Body36:25 – The Journey of Self-DiscoveryJoin a circle of changemakers committed to leading with purpose, presence and ease inside Kim's Rising Visionaries mentorship program.Reclaim your career and confidence during midlife through Louise's Rise & Redefine program.If you’re loving this show, come check out the Feminist Podcasters Collective, where creators like us are uplifting diverse voices and driving meaningful change.
