Your Body Isn’t Broken - A conversation on hormones, acupuncture and moving from self-judgement to understanding

Send us Fan MailWhat if your symptoms weren’t a sign that something is wrong with you — but a signal asking to be understood? In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone is joined by acupuncturist Natasha Erickson to explore women’s hormones, acupuncture, and the shift from self-judgement to body awareness. In this episode of The Natural Narrative, Leone Wilson is joined by acupuncturist Natasha Erickson for a thoughtful and grounded conversation on women’s health, hormones, and the way we relate to our bodies.A central theme throughout this discussion is the idea that women are often taught to view their bodies through a lens of deficit — something is lacking, not working, or in need of fixing. But what if symptoms were instead understood as signals of imbalance, rather than evidence that something is inherently wrong?Drawing on principles of acupuncture and traditional approaches to health, Natasha shares how the body can be viewed as an interconnected system — where hormonal changes, stress, sleep, digestion and emotional wellbeing are all part of a larger picture. Rather than isolating symptoms, this approach invites a more non-judgemental, responsive relationship with the body.In this episode, Leone and Natasha explore: The difference between a deficit-based and imbalance-based view of women’s health  How acupuncture supports hormonal regulation across all life stages  The role of stress and the nervous system in shaping hormonal symptoms  Why many women feel disconnected from their bodies — and how that connection can be rebuilt  A more compassionate, sustainable way of approaching symptoms and healing This conversation offers a gentle but powerful reframe — supporting women to move away from self-judgement and toward understanding, awareness, and trust in their body’s signals.You can book with Natasha using this linkNatasha Ericksen Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine - Book appointmentYou can find us at -https://harvestinghealth.com.au/facebook - https://www.facebook.com/LeoneDeborahWilsonNaturopathInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/harvesting_health_hub/
