Safety, Belonging, Dignity: The Nervous System Truth Nobody Taught Us with Leona Waller & Ana Ally

Dysfunctional

Show Notes

This week I’m joined by Leona Waller and Ana Ally, hosts of The Body Knows, for a conversation that goes way beyond “regulating your nervous system.” We explore the three things your body is constantly organising around — safety, belonging, and dignity — and why so many of us were taught to override them. We talk somatics vs embodiment, the productisation of healing, chronic illness, disconnection, and what it actually means to come home to your body. If you’ve been stuck in your head trying to fix yourself, this one might change how you see everything.
