Have you ever ignored a gut feeling or a signal from your body?

We have absolutely all been there. Learning to embrace the wisdom and power of our own bodies is a life long journey but it is extremely important for our health and well being as women.

This week’s episode features a few very precious highlights from my multi-hour interview with fellow eldest daughter, fellow multi-time diagnosed and trauma survivor, entrepreneur and writer Michal Ann Morrison.

In this episode, we cover:

How early life messages around obedience and shame influence chronic illness

The impact of societal and religious conditioning on women's health and self-identity

How anger and unresolved emotions manifest as physical illness

The importance of trusting bodily cues as sources of truth

Strategies for women to reframe their relationship with their bodies and intuition

The eldest daughter experience and its relevance to women with autoimmune conditions

Strategies for reframing the relationship between your body, faith and self-care

This episode delves into the deeply personal journey of redefining womanhood, health and self-trust through the lens of autoimmune experiences and spiritual reconnection.
