Reader,

​

I’ve spent so much of my life ignoring my body.

​

Pushing past the fatigue. Dismissing the tension. Treating it like a machine that just needed to keep going.

I never thought of my body as something to listen to- let alone honor or thank. It was just… there. Dragged along for the ride.

​

But one thing Bridgett Blood shares in this week’s episode has stuck with me:
​“My body knows before my brain does.”

​

She talks about how she’s learned to tune in- to notice what’s happening in her body before she makes a decision, has a hard conversation, or even tries to connect with God.

​

Her body isn’t an obstacle to overcome.
It’s a messenger. A guide. A reminder to pause.

​

This episode is so much more than a story about emotions- it’s a story about restoration.
​

Bridgett opens up about what it meant to move from peacekeeping to peacemaking.

​

She shares what it looked like to confront pain, name harm, and reimagine a relationship with God- not as someone who swoops in to fix, but someone who sits beside her and feels.

​

This one is vulnerable, spiritual, and grounding.
If your soul needs a breath of fresh air today or you need to have a hard conversation with God- this is it.

💡 Here’s something to reflect on:

​

What does your body feel like when you’re avoiding something?
​

Tension in your shoulders? Tightness in your chest?
​

What would happen if, just for today, you tuned in instead of tuning out and take small action on the signal your body is sending.

​

Let's do this.

P.S. If you’ve never tried using the Core Emotion Wheel to connect spiritually, this episode is a beautiful starting point. It’s one of our favorite examples of how this framework can transform your connection with yourself and God.
