When the Body Starts Speaking with Alica Glavanova
from Soft Power Project · host Sherry Fang
Alica Glavanova was 18, in her last year of high school, when the panic attacks started. The doctors ran their tests, handed her pills, and explained nothing. She did her own research, realized it was anxiety medication, and decided she wasn't going to take it. Right after school she started traveling. India, Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia. Somewhere in those years she found a different way to understand what her body was doing, and it became the work she does now. Sherry and Alica talk about what happens when you stop overriding your body and start listening to what it's trying to tell you. Alica decodes a rash that kept showing up on Sherry's knuckles and ears after stressful morning meetings, and what it meant that it landed exactly there. They talk about why symptoms so often surface in the healing phase, once the stress is already over, and about the one thing none of us can control alongside the one thing we always can. This is a Soft Power Project conversation about emotional healing, and it goes somewhere unexpected.
