Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I’m exploring what happens in our bodies when we feel misunderstood - that familiar urgency to explain ourselves, prove our intentions, or make sure we're still seen as “good” or “respectable.”Through the lens of somatic awareness and my experience in burlesque, I talk about:How old wounds of being unseen or misunderstood can resurface in adulthoodThe ways those wounds can spill out as overexplaining, people-pleasing, or numbingWhy “being gotten” once felt like safety, and the importance of learning to build that safety on the inside.What it means to stay connected to our bodies, even when others don't understand us.This episode is an invitation - to both you and me - to create enough safety in our inner world that being misunderstood doesn’t have to pull us away from ourselves.Links:Work with RandeFree Spirit Academy on Instagram
