    What the Natural World Is Trying to Tell You

    Send us a text Nature is already changing, and sensitive bodies often feel that shift before there’s language for it. If you’ve been feeling more tired, irritable, achy, or off without a clear reason, this episode offers context for what your body may be responding to. In this episode, we explore how sensitive nervous systems track seasonal and environmental changes, even when modern life encourages us to override those signals. She shares how light, seasons, animal behavior, and ancient cultural markers have long guided human regulation, and why sensitive bodies often feel depleted right before internal energy begins to move again. You’ll hear about: Why sensitive bodies feel seasonal shifts earlier and more intenselyHow nature communicates through light, seasons, and animal behaviorWhat phenology is and why it matters for nervous system regulationWhy winter shutdown is not dysfunction, but biological winteringHow Imbolc marks orientation toward light, not forced growthA simple somatic practice to help you listen to what nature is signaling nowThis episode is for sensitive, intuitive, high-performing people who feel deeply affected by seasonal change and want to understand what their body has been responding to beneath the surface.

    Wired, Restless, and Stuck in Your Head? Here's Why

    Send us a text Sensitive nervous systems feel stress and overwhelm more intensely than most — but many of us try to think, talk, or “logic” our way out of it without realizing our body isn’t listening that way. In this episode, we explore what happens inside highly attuned, intuitive nervous systems when your body is stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn — and why insight alone often fails to calm a pent-up, restless system. You’ll learn: ✨ Why your body prioritizes protection over relaxation — and what that means for your stress and energy ✨ The science of bottom-up regulation: why your hands can calm your nervous system faster than your brain ✨ How art, movement, and creative expression release tension and signal safety to the vagus nerve ✨ How to choose the right kind of creative practice for your nervous system right now ✨ Simple ways to use drawing, painting, clay, dance, or messy, playful art as regulation tools If you’ve ever felt wired, restless, or “stuck in your head” — you’re not imagining it. Your nervous system is trying to tell you something. This episode will show you how to work with your body’s natural signals instead of forcing calm through willpower. ✨ For deeper nervous system regulation & creative inner work: Explore BodyScan sample sessions and other offerings at bodywhisperhealing.com/services Check out more from Amanda: Website: https://bodywhisperhealing.com Instagram: /amanda.g.smith Facebook: /body.whisper.healing LinkedIn: /amanda-ritchie-smith Pinterest: https://pin.it/1hpo4iKvD Take the Gutsy Chick Quiz to discover how your high-performance mindset might be keeping your nervous system in overdrive: https://gutsychickquiz.com -- Watch Cosmic Body Shenanigans Podcast on YouTube!

    What Your Body Knows about New Year’s Resolutions

    Send us a text January goals don’t fail because you’re inconsistent — they fail because January isn’t the time yet. For Sensitive Bodies, jumping straight into goals before the body is ready creates resistance, burnout, and shame. In this episode of Cosmic Body Shenanigans, Amanda explains why intentions must come before goals, how January is meant to be a listening month, and how to use a simple three-month bridge so execution finally feels supportive instead of forced. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why motivation collapses when timing is ignored The difference between intentions and goals (and why it matters) How to create intentions your body can actually consent to What January, February, and March are each designed for How to move your body without turning movement into pressure This episode is for sensitive, intuitive, high-capacity humans who are ready to stop fighting their bodies and start working with them. ⏱️ Episode Timestamps  00:00 Why January goals fail for Sensitive Bodies 00:28 Resistance as body wisdom (not self-sabotage) 01:38 Intentions vs. goals — what most people skip 03:55 How to create an intention (January practice) 07:35 February: turning intention into a gentle goal 10:55 March: execution with consent and momentum 13:40 Movement without hustle in winter 16:45 Signs you’re honoring your body’s timing 19:40 Closing reflection + invitation 🌿 Resources Mentioned Cosmic Body Shenanigans Podcast Body-based intention setting Nervous system–aware productivity Seasonal & cyclical living Sensitive Bodies don’t need more discipline — they need better timing.

  5. Why 2026 Is the Year of Inner Healing

    Why 2026 Is the Year of Inner Healing

    Send us a text What if healing hasn’t worked because you’ve been forcing it? For years, sensitive bodies have been told to push harder, optimize more, and override their signals in the name of “discipline” and “protocols.” But in 2026, that approach is no longer effective — biologically, neurologically, or energetically. This episode marks the beginning of The Year of Inner Healing. A shift away from effort-based healing…  And toward coherence, cellular intelligence, and deep listening. In this episode, we explore why sensitive bodies feel changes first, how the body functions as an electromagnetic system, and why modalities like biomagnetic resonance reveal a deeper biological truth: healing doesn’t come from force — it comes from alignment. If you’re exhausted from “trying to heal,” this episode is your permission slip to stop overriding your body and start working with it. 🧠 What You’ll Learn: Why sensitive nervous systems resist effort-based healing How the body communicates through electromagnetic signals What biomagnetic resonance actually restores How cellular memory stores unresolved experiences Why coherence now matters more than discipline How to begin inner healing without adding more protocols 🔗 Resources Mentioned: Polyvagal Theory (Stephen Porges) HeartMath Institute research on coherence Emerging research on bioelectromagnetics Somatic & nervous system regulation practices Biomagnetic therapy frameworks (general principles) (No medical claims. This episode is educational and experiential.) -- Watch Cosmic Body Shenanigans Podcast on YouTube!
