Are You Actually Overriding Your Body?

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to override what your body is telling you?

You're exhausted, but you push through. Your gut says no, but you say yes anyway. Something inside you is whispering slow down, and instead, you add one more thing to your plate.

Sound familiar? 🙋‍♀️ I know I've been there!

This week on The You-est You® podcast, I'm joined by the extraordinary Asha Frost, Indigenous medicine woman, spiritual teacher, and bestselling author of Inner Winter.

Diagnosed with lupus at just 17, Asha shares how her journey taught her to stop fighting her body's signals and start listening to the wisdom within them.

We explore the hidden medicine of our "inner winters," those seasons of grief, illness, transition, or uncertainty when life seems to be asking us to slow down.

And here's what I love: What if winter isn't something we need to escape? What if it's where some of our deepest wisdom takes root? 🌱

We also dive into boundaries, people-pleasing, intuition, and why rest is not failure. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is stop trying to fix ourselves and start honoring who we are, right where we are.

I'd love to hear what resonates. Leave a comment, question, or whatever is on your heart!

And here's something to sit with this week:

Where might you be pushing through when your intuition is asking you to pause?
