    E 360: Tammys 'Takes #40 Your Body Is Trying To Tell You Something... How About Listening

    What if your anxiety, exhaustion, muscle tension, digestive issues, or chronic stress weren't random at all? What if your body has been trying to communicate with you for years—and you simply haven't been taught how to listen? In this Tammy's Take, Tammy Vincent builds on her conversation with trauma integration specialist Hannah Dalby and explores one of the most overlooked parts of healing: the messages your body is constantly sending you. You'll discover why symptoms are often signals, how your nervous system stores unresolved stress, and why curiosity—not self-judgment—is the first step toward healing. Tammy also shares how she uses AO Biofrequency Voice Scans as a tool to help clients identify patterns of stress in the body and begin meaningful conversations about where support may be needed. While the scan is not a medical diagnostic tool, it can provide another lens for exploring how chronic stress may be showing up in the body. In this episode you'll learn: Why your body is always communicating with youThe difference between symptoms and signalsHow chronic stress affects the nervous systemWhy emotional patterns often show up physicallyThree powerful questions to ask when your body is trying to get your attentionHow curiosity creates healing while judgment keeps us stuckHow Tammy incorporates AO Biofrequency Voice Scans into her coaching process If you've ever wondered why your body keeps reacting the way it does, this episode will help you begin listening with compassion instead of frustration.

    E 359: Your Body Never Lies: Guest Hannah Dalby

    What if the anxiety, chronic stress, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, and even physical symptoms you've been carrying aren't personality traits at all—but survival patterns your nervous system learned years ago? In this powerful episode, Tammy sits down with Hannah Dalby, founder of The Jungle, trauma integration specialist, former professional athlete, and host of the Into the Jungle Podcast. Together, they explore why healing isn't just about changing your thoughts—it's about reconnecting with your body. Hannah shares her own journey through addiction, eating disorders, burnout, and deep trauma work, explaining how true healing came when she stopped living only in her mind and finally learned to listen to what her body had been trying to tell her all along. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why trauma is stored in the body—not just the mindThe connection between chronic stress and physical illnessHow people-pleasing and perfectionism become survival strategiesWhy awareness alone doesn't create transformationThe importance of nervous system regulation before lasting changeHow identity shifts happen during healingWhy learning to receive love can be one of the hardest parts of recoveryThe surprising connection between unresolved emotions and chronic inflammation If you've ever felt like you've "done all the mindset work" but still find yourself stuck in the same emotional patterns, this conversation may explain why.

    Have you ever wondered why something seemingly small can create such a big emotional reaction?

Tammy introduces the powerful concept of becoming the detective instead of the judge, showing you how to stop asking, "What's wrong with me?" and start asking the questions that actually lead to healing. In this episode you'll discover: Why today's triggers are often connected to yesterday's woundsThe difference between an event and the meaning you attach to itHow childhood experiences shape adult emotional reactionsWhy your nervous system reacts before your logical brainThree simple questions to ask when you're emotionally triggeredHow curiosity can replace shame and self-judgmentWhy your triggers may actually be pointing you toward your next breakthrough If you've ever felt like you're "too sensitive" or wondered why your reactions feel bigger than the situation, this episode will help you see yourself through a completely different lens.

    E 356: Tammy's Takes #38: Healing Doesn't Always Start with Talking

    What if healing doesn't begin with talking... but with expressing? In this episode of Tammy's Takes, I build on my conversation with poet and Positive Psychology Coach Michael Teferi and explore one of the most overlooked parts of healing: giving your pain somewhere to go. Whether it's writing, journaling, painting, music, prayer, or simply speaking your truth, expression is often the first step toward releasing what your nervous system has been holding onto. As adult children of dysfunction, many of us learned to stay quiet, suppress our emotions, and survive. But those emotions don't simply disappear—they get stored in our bodies, our relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves. Today, we're talking about why expression is so powerful and one simple exercise you can begin today. In This Episode, You'll Learn:• Why suppressing emotions keeps us stuck • How creative expression helps release stored pain • The connection between the nervous system and emotional healing • Why writing can be one of the most healing things you'll ever do • One simple exercise to begin expressing what's been buried • Why your story deserves to be heard—even if only by you Healing doesn't require you to become someone new. Sometimes it simply requires you to finally give your old pain a voice. Ready to Take the Next Step?If today's episode resonated with you and you're wondering what patterns may still be keeping you stuck, I'd love to help. 💙 Book a Complimentary Confidence & Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/clarity-and-calm-call 🎙 Experience a Complimentary AO Voice Scan Demo: https://calendly.com/tammyvincent/complimentary-scan-demo ✨ Explore all of my coaching programs, free resources, podcast episodes, and ways we can work together: https://linktr.ee/tvincent Because healing isn't about fixing who you are...

In this episode, we discuss:• How bullying shaped Michael's life • Why poetry became a healing outlet • Using writing to release emotions • The connection between creativity and trauma recovery • Positive psychology and discovering what lights you up • The importance of friendship, faith, and purpose • Why healing begins when we express what we've been carrying Whether you write, journal, paint, speak, or simply need permission to tell your story, this episode offers encouragement to take the next step toward healing.

    E 354: Tammy's Takes #37: Why Trauma Hijacks Your Attention (And How to Reclaim It)

    Have you ever wondered why your mind won't slow down? Why you replay conversations... Doom scroll... Jump from one task to another... Or constantly worry about what might happen next? What if your attention isn't broken at all? In this week's Tammy's Takes, Tammy Vincent builds on her conversation with Kira Shishkin, CEO of Informed Now, to explore a deeper question: What is your attention trying to protect you from? While Kira introduces the idea of an Attention Audit, Tammy expands on the concept by showing how our attention often follows old survival patterns created in childhood. If you grew up in a dysfunctional home, your nervous system may have learned to constantly scan for danger, criticism, rejection, or conflict. Those patterns don't simply disappear when we become adults—they often continue directing our attention without us even realizing it. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why attention is actually information from your nervous system • How childhood trauma shapes where your focus naturally goes • The connection between hypervigilance and distraction • Why overthinking is often a survival strategy—not a personal weakness • How to recognize the hidden patterns behind your attention • Tammy's original Attention Breadcrumb Exercise to uncover where those patterns began • Practical steps to begin rebuilding self-trust and retraining your nervous system If you've ever felt frustrated with your inability to focus, stay present, or quiet your mind, this episode will help you look beyond the symptom and begin understanding the story your attention has been trying to tell.
