Your Body Isn’t Broken — It’s Asking for Love

🎧 Listen to the episode:

Your Body Isn’t a Problem to Fix — It’s Asking for Love

In this episode, I share my journey from control to self-love, and how nervous system healing begins with safety—not strategy.

If your body feels stuck, heavy, or like it’s working against you… I want you to know: you’re not alone.

I’ve been there, too—trapped in cycles of dieting, self-criticism, and control, trying so hard to feel “better,” only to end up even more disconnected from my body.

For years, I thought healing meant discipline. I thought health came from controlling everything—my food, my movement, my weight. But the more I tried to control my body, the more I disconnected from her. And no amount of “doing everything right” ever brought me peace.

Eventually, I realized something that changed everything:

👉 My nervous system wasn’t broken.
My body wasn’t broken.
They were protecting me.

The Real Root of Stuckness

When I work with women through The Balanced Woman, I hear the same story again and again:

• “I’ve tried everything.”
  
• “Nothing is working.”
  
• “I feel like my body is fighting me.”
  

And what I want to say—every single time—is this:

Your body is not a problem to fix. She’s a partner to love.

Underneath the symptoms, the weight gain, the exhaustion… is usually one thing: a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

Chronic stress. Trauma. Perfectionism. Internalized self-judgment. These are the forces that keep us locked in fight-or-flight. And in survival mode, the body can’t release weight, can’t regulate hormones, can’t heal… because she doesn’t feel safe.

Chinese Medicine Calls This Qi Stagnation

In Chinese Medicine, when the body is under stress, Qi stops flowing. This is known as Qi Stagnation, and it manifests as:

• PMS, bloating, headaches
  
• Irritability, shallow breathing, fatigue
  
• Emotional volatility and physical pain
  
• A general sense of being “stuck”
  

And if you’ve ever felt like that, you know—it’s not something you can fix with a supplement or a stricter workout plan.

You need flow.
You need safety.
You need love.

Healing Starts When You Stop Fighting

Everything changed for me when I stopped punishing my body and started partnering with her. That shift was the beginning of my true healing—not because I finally had the right routine, but because I began rebuilding trust with my body.

I stopped asking, How can I fix this?
And started asking, What does my body need right now?

Sometimes the answer was rest.
Sometimes it was nourishment.
Sometimes it was a walk in the sun, or simply placing my hand over my heart and saying, “I love you. Thank you.”

A Simple Practice to Try

If you’re ready to begin this shift, here’s one small practice that can open everything:

1. Place your hand on your heart or womb space.
   
2. Take a few slow breaths.
   
3. Ask: “What would it feel like to treat my body like someone I love deeply?”
   

Let that question land in your body.
Let it guide your next choice.

This Is Where We Begin Again

This is what I teach inside The Balanced Woman—how to regulate your nervous system, align with your body’s natural rhythm, and return to that sacred relationship with yourself.

✨ Not in 10 years.
✨ Not when you lose 10 pounds.
✨ But now. Exactly as you are.

Because when you love your body as she is…
She opens. She softens. She responds.
And that’s when everything begins to change.

You don’t need to fight anymore.
You’re allowed to heal from love.
