Episode Synopsis

Let’s get real for a second… why does it seem like when life gets chaotic and our nervous systems are out of whack, our bodies decide to literally hold everything in?
In this episode of The Messy Truth of Transformation, we’re talking about a subject no one wants to admit—but nearly every woman has experienced: constipation during chronic stress.
This isn’t just about digestion—it’s about the mind-body connection, emotional suppression, nervous system regulation, and how unprocessed stress and fear literally shows up in our gut.
We cover:
-Why so many women struggle with digestion when stressed
-The gut-brain connection (and how trauma impacts bowel function)
-How feeling unsafe to be in our bodies play a physical role
-Sustainable Tools I’ve personally used to regulate my body & get things moving again 💩
This episode is part science, part soul, and all truth. Because our bodies don’t lie—and sometimes, what’s stuck in your gut is what’s stuck in your life.
