Solo Series Chapter 28: Listening to the Body — Physically, Emotionally, and Spiritually

In this episode, Lisa explores intuitive living as a full‑body, full‑soul practice, using a real‑time story from her morning to show what it looks like to honor creative energy over rigid plans. She explains that listening to your body goes far beyond hunger and fullness—it’s about listening to the soul that lives inside the body, and telling the truth about how you feel. Through examples of dieting, exercise, emotional honesty, and spiritual alignment, Lisa reframes intuitive eating as intuitive living. Lisa introduces the Goldilocks Game as a way to find “just‑right” action steps that build trust instead of overwhelm, and clarifies the difference between bailing on yourself and simply choosing a step that was too big. This chapter becomes a living demonstration of self‑trust, flexibility, and honoring the deeper intelligence that guides intentional change.Topics Include:Intuitive Living Beyond Hunger Cues Emotional Truth as Intuition The Goldilocks Game Honoring Creative and Spiritual Alignment[0:32] Lisa explains how intuitive living unfolds in real time.
