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 adulthood
- The ways those wounds can spill out as overexplaining, people-pleasing, or numbing
- Why “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.
