Laurel Boivin and Laurel Holland, cohosts and life coaches, explore the courage to trust your body’s wisdom. Inspired by a recent conversation with Tara Eschenroeder, a seasoned yoga instructor and retreat leader, the Laurels share personal stories and practical insights about returning to the body as a source of truth, healing, and guidance.
They reflect on the resistance many of us feel when tuning into our bodies, the emotions that can surface through practices like yoga and tai chi, and the profound release that comes when we allow ourselves to feel. Through anecdotes about headaches, back pain, and even garlic overload, they illustrate how our bodies continually send us messages about alignment and self-care.
Listeners are encouraged to gently begin by befriending the body, acknowledging resistance as part of the journey, and exploring resources like Louise Hay’s You Can Heal Your Life. This episode offers inspiration and practical wisdom for anyone seeking deeper trust in themselves, more confidence in decision-making, and a renewed sense of connection between body, mind, and spirit.
The following journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration:
