Movement As Medicine

Your body is telling the truth long before your mind can build an argument. Lyanette Talley sits down with Allison Pagano, founder of Embodied Dance, to explore embodiment, somatic healing, and how movement can become a direct path to emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and real self-trust.We talk about why so many women feel disconnected from their intuition and stuck in “push through it” mode, and how that disconnection shows up as tension, shutdown, resentment, and the weight-of-the-world feeling in the shoulders and neck. Allison unpacks the role of sacred rage, why anger is often a doorway to grief, and how giving the body permission to express what it has carried can create lasting change without needing to perform strength or polish your pain.You’ll also get practical tools for everyday life, including how to tell fear versus intuition and a simple body-based yes/no practice you can use when you’re making decisions about relationships, work, and boundaries. We connect the dots between trauma triggers and present-moment signals, and why alignment between mind, emotions, and body can create “unexpected” breakthroughs.If this conversation helps you feel seen, share it with a friend, subscribe to Virago 24/7, and leave a five-star review.
