Ep 33 • The Fear We Hold About Our Bodies & Health (and the Antidote)
<p>I've been noticing something in the women I work with, and honestly, in myself too. There's so much fear sitting in and around our bodies. Fear that spirals into anxiety, confusion, late-night Google rabbit holes. </p><p>In this episode I'm talking about where that fear actually comes from, what to do when it shows up, and how to transform it into something far more useful: self-understanding. Through self-understanding, you have access to the everlasting antidote to body-fear, healthy anxiety & hypochondriac thoughts: self-trust.</p><p>The antidote isn't more information — it's body literacy. Learning the language your body is speaking so that a symptom becomes a signal rather than a spiral.</p><p>If you've ever felt like your body is a stranger to you, or like every new symptom sends you into a panic, this one's for you.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>TIMESTAMPS</strong></p><p>00:23 — Welcome + what we're covering today</p><p>02:00 — Cycle check-in: day 27 luteal, flying interstate, buying pads for the first time in 7 years</p><p>05:41 — Cycle Tracking Guide + how tracking builds self-understanding</p><p>07:01 — The pattern: health anxiety and fear in the women I work with</p><p>08:14 — How fear makes symptoms worse (stress is stress, real or imagined)</p><p>09:44 — Examples: what health fear actually sounds like</p><p>12:06 — Where did this fear come from?
