Coming Home to Your Body
Nov 18, 2025
There is a moment in every woman’s health journey where everything shifts.
It’s not the moment you get a diagnosis.
It’s not the moment you start a new supplement.
It’s not even the moment your symptoms improve.
It’s the moment you realise:
“I can’t ignore my body anymore. I need to rebuild this relationship.”
For many of us, we live years—sometimes decades—disconnected from our bodies.
We push through fatigue.
We normalise pain.
We dismiss symptoms.
We override hunger cues.
We label ourselves as “dramatic,” “sensitive,” or “lazy.”
And then one day something happens—your period disappears, your skin breaks out, your weight suddenly changes, or your nervous system feels like it’s constantly on edge—and it becomes impossible to tune out.
Here’s what I want you to know:
Your symptoms aren’t a betrayal. They’re an invitation back home.
Reconnection isn’t just “being healthy.”
It’s learning to feel again.
It’s noticing when your chest tightens or your jaw clenches and asking, "What just happened inside me?”
It’s tracking your cycle and suddenly realising, “Oh… that wasn’t random. That was my luteal phase speaking.”
It’s recognising the difference between:
- your intuition vs. your anxiety
- your hormones vs. your self-worth
- your body’s truth vs. old conditioning
Reconnection looks like:
- strengthening your boundaries
- eating in a way that honours your energy
- creating routines that match your biology
- recognising the warning signs before burnout
- giving yourself permission to slow down
- trusting the subtle shifts before they become symptoms
Women often tell me: “I just want my body to work with me again.”
But what they really mean is: “I want to feel safe inside myself.”
And that comes from paying attention—not performing perfection.
Your body has always been speaking to you. Reconnection is simply learning how to listen.
If you want to hear how another woman found her way back to herself, I explore this deeply with Mimi in Episode #30 PCOS Symptoms? The Steps That Changed Everything For Mimi on the What’s My Body Telling Me? Podcast, where she shares how journaling, nutrition, movement, and emotional awareness helped her rebuild trust with her body.
