Welcome to it Gets To Be Easy Podcast where you're granted permission to live your most healthful and joy-filled life with ease.
Speaker 1:We are your hosts, katie and Shauna, and together we've been cracking the code to creating our own realities with ease, and now we've set out to help you grow confident in this too.
Speaker 1:Hi friends, welcome back.
Speaker 1:In our last episode, we brought you along for a chat about body messages the signals that our body nudges us with to get our attention, to ask us to tune into ourselves.
Speaker 1:We talked about how we aren't really always the best detectives with this, but that over the past few years, the two of us have been on personal journeys of intentionally increasing our awareness to the reality that these body messages are there so that we can connect the dots and ultimately decode what we needed from these. In many ways, we've gone there ultimately to expand our health in ways that are sustainable and also to amplify our joy-filled life experiences. In last week's show, we tried to keep the conversation around the origin of our awareness journeys with body messages. We tapped into talking about how observing our self-expectations have played a big part in this ride, and the shift into not expecting ourselves to be the same every single day has really made an impact. We went into what that has looked like for us personally and we shared some empowerment to invite you to lean into, should you too decide you want to join in this journey into a deeper awareness of what your own body messages are nudging of you.
Speaker 2:Yes, oh my gosh, I really personally love that episode. Just going back and pressing play on it this week has been really cool, and definitely we want you to go listen to that if you haven't already, because we've got this little series going and I think tapping into that origin is important. But today we wanted to go a little bit deeper on this topic. We've been asking ourselves some questions and, of course, leaning into some other great podcasts and books that really help us dive deeper into this topic. We want to know how do these body messages even accumulate in the first place, and what are we doing or not doing about it when we're clued in? So, katie, I know you stumbled upon an interview recently with the author of the book the Body Keeps the Score.
Speaker 2:So, listeners, some of you may know this one. You may have heard it. It actually was written more for providers, but I think it really has a lot of good nuggets in there for anyone tuned into this. So I really appreciated that you shared that, katie, and I think there are some really great pointers that you know we both felt were aligned with like diving deeper into this body message thing, and so let's go there for a little bit today. I know we both clued in on not just like that the body is keeping score, but also the brain's perspective on our experiences. And then also, one of the big things that was coming through for us was those societal expectations that are also influencing what we're doing about this, and so kick us off on that, katie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the podcast because search engine optimization in the podcast world I literally just typed in like body keeps the score because it was something that I was like. I know this book, I haven't read it. It actually showed up in my Libby account as like available books to listen to. I did not listen to it. Instead, I just listened to this podcast, which happened to be this based out of 2021. And I say that because I think it's important, because the conversation we're going to link it in the show notes, but the conversation that was had was very pertinent to that time in our history.
Speaker 1:But the reason I had leaned into wanting to understand this book more was because, you know, we talk a lot about how we're feeling. Last episode that we recorded was really talking about like listening to those physical needs that our body has, and this book was not what I expected. I didn't expect it to be really diving into the emotional implications of how our emotions are showing up in our body and how we can store things and they end up staying there, and then how we have, like other people's expectations. We can feel that tension in our body. It was. It was so eyeopening and I just really thought the conversation was so powerful because it's taking that next step of like. We're listening to our body and what it needs when it comes to like does it need rest, Does it need to be pushed harder? And this is even further into like. How are we understanding, like, the root of some of these feelings that we're having in our body that are physical manifestations of emotional experiences?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think there's so much there and I really I don't know that we go there enough or allow ourselves to go there enough, and I think that's why we're even here talking about it now is because that's exactly what it is. I think that's why we're even here talking about it now is because that's exactly what it is. We, as busy women leaders, we've gotten really dang good at being able to push through it, but then also at the expense of realizing over the years now there's all these things going on in my body, and now it's like you're asking questions like like what's wrong with my body? Right, and so, of course, we have all of these things that we've been trying and strategies and tools, and, you know, some things have really, really worked. But then it's like when it doesn't, you still have, I know, for me, I still have this level of frustration sometimes, like why isn't it now working or why, you know, did it stop working, or you know, and I really think, the more I sat and think about it over the past couple of months, it really has been like dang.
Speaker 2:There's some emotion behind this, you know, and there are emotions that are not even related to those actual situations. This is emotions from what they call little t trauma. Right, it's not big, huge traumas in life, but those things are stored in our body and over time, that is really having an impact and I think it's time for us to go there. It's time for us to have permission and to be able to recognize that going there is really going to have a big impact.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I think that's the whole premise and we don't give too much away because we have a whole another episode loading that's really going to dive deeper into this emotional aspect and letting us have these feelings. But one of the things that really stood out to me when listening to this interview is that I correlated it back to like how we are connecting with our periods, like our cycles, and this is something that we talk about a lot, but we talk about the ways in which we honor our body throughout our cycle. But part of me wonders sometimes like that anticipation of, and the negative connotations for women when it comes to the cycle and even just the angst that you feel leading up to your cycle because it's supposed to be so bad and it's supposed to be these things. And I just felt like I was like wow, there's so much power there in terms of like even the fact that you're like hiding being a woman and having your period. Like how many times did you put a tampon up up your sleeve? Because you're like, oh, this is embarrassing, but I I'm going on a little bit of a tangent here compared to our notes, but I'm feeling this because I think it is such a. It's so freeing to let go that, like I have to hide being a woman, I have to hide having my cycle and even just like after 19 years of being with my husband, like I will, I can just have these open conversations about these things. We've had three kids. Like we know ovulation, we know these things. But I just think back.
Speaker 1:I think it really it's so funny how everything kind of links back to a certain point in time. But it was like while I, like I had my cycle, I was still in a cast and I had to hand him my cup and he this is too graphic but I was like I had to hand him my cup and he this is too graphic but I was like I need your help. But that just took everything away. And it's just when we allow ourselves to understand that that feeling aches and pains is not necessarily because you're getting old or because you you know hurt, you're hurting because you have an injury. It can really be because you're not letting go of something, or that you had something so long ago that you didn't process and your body's still trying to manage it. I think another great example is, like you know, they say women carry their stress in their shoulders and their hips. That doesn't just come from nowhere, that concept.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a big deal, and I think the more that we can just tune into that the nuance here is tuning into it without the frustration and without you know what you're saying there is, like there are these societal limitations that over time we've just kind of adapted them into our own lives and then also just like that's how it is, you know. And so then there's this negative energy that we're also allowing around that, and so you know, of course, and then it's like you want to put a big X on it, right, like it's like even calling it shark week and things like that. Like so you know, of course, and then it's like you want to put a big X on it, right, like it's like even calling it shark week and things like that. Like that's just like something that is just putting this really negative connotation on it. So I love that you went there with that, because I think that's something that we do have to give ourselves permission to like we said in last week's episode is just not being the same all the time, you know, and for it not to be bad or good. I think when we're putting labels on things like that bad and good then yeah, we're starting to have this feeling, before it even happens, like oh dang, this is coming again, you know, versus just like. Allowing ourselves to, you know, be in each of those places that we're in throughout the month is so, so key.
Speaker 2:And I think, too, in that interview on that podcast we were talking about, he was talking about how not only does the body keep score, but also the brain is doing this housekeeping all the time, right, and so then it's hiding the score, right, and so then there's this mixed messages that are going on with the body and between the mind and, oh my gosh, I should just get over that, right, or I shouldn't talk about that, or, you know, maybe that person's going to judge me if I bring this up. And you know, if I talk about, like, going back to childhood and doing some work with that, like, are people going to think why is she even doing that, when you know she's a successful woman? She can just continue with what she's doing now, you know, versus like allowing ourselves to really go there.
Speaker 1:Gosh, it's so key, having the brain hide it, and we have to go back to connecting that into ego. But then also our body's natural tendencies to protect us, to help us not feel discomfort. Our ego is going to show up and say you should be tougher. Why are you still thinking about that or dwelling on that? Say you should be tougher, like, why are you still thinking about that or dwelling on that? But one of the things that was so interesting in this conversation was he did. He talked about, yeah, the brain is going to hide and try and protect you, but that when, when and if you allow yourself to go to these experiences that were hard.
Speaker 1:He talks about how you can use the imagination, so use the brain in a different way. About how you can use the imagination, so use the brain in a different way and you can use your imagination to be a key contributor to your healing. So where you can basically allow your mind to go back to these hard experiences but recreate the outcome. Like, how many times have we ruminated on how we wish we would have said something or we wish something would have been differently, but instead of like doing it from that perspective, but really like using that imagination to recreate the outcome so that you have a better feeling for it, and I know that feels kind of wooey, but there's science behind that and we talk about manifesting and journaling all the time and it's the same concept.
Speaker 1:Like you can rewrite your future just as much as you can rewrite your past, or at least provide yourself the opportunity to have this perspective of digging into the silver lining. Like I'm not about toxic positivity, but sometimes you have to go back to things that really were hard and understand. Like you had a perspective from someone who doesn't have the life experience you have today. So go back and relive that, but give yourself the color of what you've learned from it.

Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, that just brought something up for me and it's kind of vulnerable, but I'm going to share it because I think it's really important to put a light on what that even looks like.
Speaker 2:So for me by childhood, there was a lot of fear stories around different things with certain family members.
Speaker 2:Not that anything had happened, but it was just fear stories around making sure that something didn't happen, you know sort of thing around sexual abuse, those kinds of things, and so it was just there was this guard that was always up around certain people, and so I have recognized that lately as something that maybe perhaps is something that did cause storage of things in my body, and so what I've been doing is just allowing myself to visualize little Shauna in that person.
Speaker 2:You know that person's house, and I'm not picturing those people there at all. It's just me, you know, and being there and seeing things and allowing myself to look at them with joy and you know positivity and oh, that's really cool and that's neat, and you know, just allowing myself to be there in a different timeline, Right, and I think the really important part of that for me has been that the other people are not there, Right, so I haven't had to kind of it's not like I'm going back and reworking that, or shaming, or blaming or saying like did that happen, but I think it's been very powerful and so I have used that as a tool in other ways too, other scenarios, and I think I just wanted to share that here for you all, if you feel like you need some more meaning behind.
Speaker 2:What does that even look like to actually do it? And it has been really cool and what I've noticed from it I was telling a friend the other day is I feel like it's really integrating a lot of emotional baggage that I may or may not have known was there, but also it's integrating it very fast. And so I'm not, you know, previously to not wanting to go there there was a lot of avoiding because I don't want to feel stuck or, you know, I don't like how it physically feels to cry and all of these things that might come up when you're working through emotions and I'm realizing like, wow, dang, like this type of going back there and allowing the body to kind of reset and re-feel in a different way or rewrite, as you said, is actually integrating it so fast.
Speaker 1:Wow, oh, that's good and that's that's just. Thank you for sharing that. By the way, that's a lot, and I think that what's so interesting about that piece is, like you're like I'm not putting myself exactly back in that situation, just putting myself in these places where you can have positive memories, and I think I'm doing something similar. And it's like my dad. My dad bought a boat and growing up it wasn't always the most amazing experiences and I'm nervous for my kids to get on the boat and like have things go sideways and I don't know my dad's going to handle it.
Speaker 1:So what I've been really trying to do is be like but we had so many good times on the boat, like it's so many fun memories, like we've learned so much, and trying to remember that that's also an option for the kids that you have to try and take away and you can, you know, just write it out, like write it out how you wanted it to go, or write it out how you wish it would have gone, write it out how you think it should go and at least like, getting it out there into the world puts those vibes out there.
Speaker 1:It's so important and you know, my sister's expecting a baby any day now and I just the other night I was like hey, don't forget, like write the birth story. There's so much power in releasing, of write out the birth story, and when you look back after you have that baby you're like, wow, that, it was kind of like that or there was an element of truth to what we said there and it just helps you relax. I can guarantee, from a perspective of the forward thinking, like it definitely helped me be more empowered while going through birth than if I was like so scared of what was going to happen, like what's next or what's happening and or the unknown, whereas like well, I kind of know it could go a couple of ways, but here's how I want it to go, and then you're free to just feel.
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, that's so good. I think a couple of things that I was hearing as you're saying, that is like one. It allows you to be honest that there is fear right. So it's not that we're supposed to just like push through and like, oh, there's no fear right. Like fear is on purpose, it is a protective mechanism that are you know, we do need at certain times in our life. But being able to look at that and kind of face that fear in a different way ahead of time, I think can be helpful as long as it's not like the only thing we're doing. And so I think the little nuance I was hearing from you in that was that it's not only being honest about the fears and those kind of things, but it's being a magnet then for how you want it to go. And that's the huge part of this process that I think is an evolved process.
Speaker 2:From in the past I can say even my grandma was like always, just think of everything that could go wrong and then you'll be fine if it does. I was like always, always just think of everything that could go wrong and then you'll be fine if it does. And I, you know, over time I was like. I don't really like that because it's just really kind of ruminating on what's going to go wrong, right. But I think there, this is the evolution of that kind of thinking or that kind of process is, yeah, okay, sure, we're going to acknowledge some honesty around the fear, but, heck, yeah, let's be a magnet for creating what we want it to look like, and then it's energetics from there on right. You really truly are creating the energy of what you want it to be.
Speaker 1:So, coming back to how we can manage some of these feelings within our body, and in the interview he talked about ways that we can tap in that are drug-free. There's a whole lot of conversations about modalities and drugs in this that are interesting for the listeners if they want to dive into that, but these were the ones I was interested in. It's like he said there are some really untapped resources that we forget about, and mainly yoga, breath work, meditation, basic human touch, and it was. It was so fascinating because I'm like these are the things that we've talked about before. You've talked about kind of how you've helped support your cycle through meditation has been the most impactful thing right now and I think what that's doing is it's just forcing us to be body aware again, breathing into certain tensions within the body, giving the time and attention to releasing essentially and I thought this was so powerful when he said this human touch component.
Speaker 1:He's like touch is a basic human need that we often ignore or as adults we can't, we don't feel like we can ask for it. It's like not kosher to say can I hug you? However? He's like it helps us relax, touch helps us heal and if you can't go into like thinking of our children and sometimes like all they just need is a snuggle and that boosts their mood. And guess what? Like there is proof behind this. We talked about the Gottman's before and the six second kiss begins to release oxytocin in the body. And a 20 second hug releases oxytocin in the body and oxytocin is the feel good hormone and that's going to help us get back to regulation. And when we have those feelings of overwhelm and tenseness, just a quick not a quick hug, a 20 second hug can really help bring us back. And he's like these are all things we can do to help heal our bodies.
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, I think what was just coming through, as you're saying, that is both of those things, are all of those things that you were sharing, that he was saying as far as like yoga, meditation, and then, you know, with this other human and then with this other human, so much of it has to do with connection. So yoga and meditation are very much about connection to yourself through the mind and body, right, and then what you were just saying about touch and hugs and kisses, there's so much about connection and I think that that is where oftentimes we have lost our way sometimes with what it is our body needs, because we disconnect. You know, and you started the show about a time in our lives where we were encouraged through the world to disconnect from each other, and so I think that that kind of really brings that full circle kind of with connection is a big deal, and so the more we can ask ourselves that question, you know, am I connecting? That is going to bring us into what does the body need?
Speaker 1:into. What does the body need? Yeah, cool, there's a lot more out there and in terms of like figuring out where these feelings are coming from, I know that you shared. There's another book that you're reading. Do you feel like this is a good time to dive into that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go there a little bit. So there's this book called Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Carol Truman. We'll drop that in the show notes for sure, but it's a tool for curiosity it really is, and it really encourages you to dive in, ask yourself some questions that's what it's been for me specifically. High yourself some questions that's what it's been for me, specifically and some of the messages that she shares in this book. She really kind of links, basically, like if you're having a certain feeling or a certain pain going on, it's linked to certain emotions that are being stored away. So like, for example, she talks about hip pain and she talks about that being really rooted in fears, and so fears, you know not wanting to accept experiences that have happened to us, right. So let's be honest about that. When we say women have a lot of hip pain, it's like, well, we're just going to park that somewhere, right, and so then that's where it goes. It goes to the hips, you know. Also, I think one of the things that she says about that hip pain is that not wanting to problem solve or go into fixer mode is something that we need to be encouraged with there, and I think that that makes so much sense when we talk about women storing things in our hips, because more often than not we go into problem-solving mode when we're feeling something, or we go into fixer mode, and so it's just really neat and there's a lot of different ones.
Speaker 2:I tune into it when I've got something going on, just to get curious, just to help me ask questions, and you know, it's most of the time it's spot on. You know, it's no secret that I've had a history of headaches and migraines and so much relief has come through for that I don't experience them in the way that I have in the past since I was five years old. But headaches have to do with control, you know, and and sometimes it takes honesty to know that like, oh dang well, I got this because trying to control all the things, and it doesn't necessarily mean that that's a bad thing either. But if all of this is going on and I have to step into control mode with all of these things, or I think that that's what I need to do, then you know, maybe not being so surprised that the body's like, hey, here's the message for that. Yeah, so it's really powerful. I definitely think it's worth checking out if you're someone who is really curious about that.
Speaker 1:I like it. I think that there's definitely, when I think of the different things within my own body in terms of like issues that have lingered, it's less to me like now as I've gotten older. It's less about like, oh, that's just like you know, an inconsistency in glute strength or something. I'm like there's. There is something there that I'm still being asked to work through. And when the pain or discomfort dissipates, I'm like maybe I'm doing a good job of working through it right now and I less do I think now of it being like, oh, I'm getting, yes, I'm getting stronger. But it's also more like, okay, I'm allowing myself to clearly do something right because it's letting go. It's also more like, okay, I'm allowing myself to clearly do something right because it's letting go, it's releasing. And when it comes back with a vengeance, I'm like, okay, all right, I'm going to pay attention to that. Like, why is it coming back so strong? Why am I feeling this so intensely? And oftentimes it goes back to what we talked about in the last episodes, like I'm pushing my body beyond what I should be doing and then I'm not processing or I'm going too fast and too deep into hustle in my body. That's my body's way of saying hey, wait a second, get back to the present. You're not living right now and we're going to force you to slow down. And it's so wild to me, because I think so many of us are standing on the sidelines of soccer game this weekend and the moms are like I said something about being 39.
Speaker 1:She's like, oh, to be in my 30s again. I was like I'm excited for my 40s, like, wow, the next 10 years I mean, the last 10 years were great. The next 10 years, though, I was like I feel like I'm hitting my stride going into this next decade. But they had nothing positive to say. They were like, oh, sleep injuries or X, y, z, and I was like to me. All I heard was I was like that's your body asking you to do something different. It's not saying, oh, I'm old, so you have to hurt now. It's saying you need to honor us in a different way. And it's such a hard pill to swallow sometimes that you're like I'm in control of this and so many people just want to blame it on other things, and it's just like I'm just not there. I'm not in the mood to blame it on external factors anymore.
Speaker 1:I'm like I'm going to look inside myself, because I'm just like we said last week I am the only one that's going to judge myself, so I'm going to stop doing that. And then the other is just like. I am the one in full control to help myself here too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is really empowering and I think it goes back to what we were saying earlier about. When they were talking in the interview on that podcast, he was talking about the social constructs and the ways we address what's going on in our lives. Sometimes we redact those parts right. So that's really what it is. When you're externalizing it right, you're just redacting that. That even is a possibility that there's something internal going on, right, and it just became. It just becomes this societal thing with age. It absolutely does. But I think what is so empowering about this and why we keep showing up here is because we are creating conscious community around this. That is actually what helps us be able to say, okay, I'm going to go there, I'm going to do this internal work that you were just saying, and I'm not going to even have those conversations because, like, why are we entertaining the energy around that? It keeps us spinning in negativity, it keeps us feeling how we don't want to feel, you know, and so I think that that's just so key. I love that you brought it there, and those self-talk things are so incredibly important. You know you're going to keep getting those nudges and then realizing like, okay, this really is between me and me, you know, and that's so, so good.
Speaker 2:One other thing I wanted to say, too, is a tool that I think is really important to bring up as we talk about this, because sometimes it feels like, how do I even go there? You know, a couple episodes back we had my QHHT practitioner on there. When I went back to the recording on that, there was this point at the very beginning of the recording where lights were kind of spinning and so there was a lot of just I was just seeing it was black and I was seeing a lot of lights, and it felt like at the time that it was taking me a long time to kind of get to that relaxed state where I would be kind of traveling through and having the past life regression. But later, when I was having the kind of subconscious records review of it that you know, where Kay was asking questions, my higher self did say that actually that was a tool that I get to use, and so I want to share that with you.
Speaker 2:So what that is is when you're feeling like you're at the state of hyper awareness or things going on, and you're kind of all in at the state of hyper awareness or things going on and you're kind of all in your head about what's going on, is being able to allow yourself that pause moment where you're just kind of letting yourself see, maybe bringing in some light right, and so you're just kind of bringing in this energy where it's allowing yourself to like at first it was very spinning right, really a lot going on which is what's similar to what's going on in our mind.
Speaker 2:But if you can use your breath to slow that down and allow those lights to just kind of encompass and you start to see like maybe you're even sending that light to parts of your body where you are getting messages, I just I have found it to be an incredible tool and I just thought it was really cool that it came to me in that particular session and just felt like something that I want to continue to share as a simple tool, because that's something we could always kind of have with us when we need to have those pause moments.
Speaker 1:Cool. So we have a lot of links and resources in this episode that we talked about, so we'll be sharing those for everyone and, of course, heading over to our Patreon, because we always have lots of good stuff there. But keeping this bite-sized because we have a whole other episode that we're going to continue to expand on this. We hope you'll tune in next week as well. Shauna, why don't you wrap for us? Yeah?
Speaker 2:So we often say that our human body is really brilliant. I mean it really is, and I love how this path of evolution is helping us to see what an inside job this is to respond to our body messages. So, of course, there are so many great tools We've shared some here with you today that we have access to, and even find amazing support along the way to just help us relieve what our body does have going on, things that we have endured over time, and we want to continue to tap into tools, of course, to have the optimal health. But I think we've also been called on this journey and we want to empower and support you through it that maybe it's time for us to also not just be looking outside of ourselves, because that really actually is only taking us so far If we aren't allowing this veil to be pulled back on what the mind has hidden for our protection and being open to seeing how, like these societal conditions we've been talking about perhaps made us think that we can't allow ourselves to observe this deeper connection to this body and these messages that are happening, because that would mean that we were weak or we weren't honoring resilience, or even that we gosh, we might get stuck there in the messy if we actually unpack some of that. And so you know, yes, we've shared some tools here with you today, but, honestly, the tools we're sharing today were more about going inward and really taking this as an inside job, and so we hope that you can tap into that, and we want to encourage you today, sis, that if you intuitively notice along the way that you have adopted a pattern of brushing past or pushing down your emotional experiences for fear of getting stuck or being judged or not understood, know that this community that we have here is a safe place to talk about this.
Speaker 2:We're so honored to create social acceptance around this together, and we want to invite you to allow yourself to go there too, even if it's baby steps. Even if it's baby steps, there's a lot of freedom. In allowing this to expand, you get to move from stored and stuck to safe and connected. We love you, friend. Make sure to come. Hang out with us in Patreon. We'll see you there. We want to welcome you to tune in, stay close and grow with us. Come feel empowered, inspired and connected.
