    Mona Sharma on Healing Burnout, The Root of Wellness & Coming Home to Your Body

    Modern wellness tells us to do more, buy more and invest more into "healing," but what really moves the needle is much simpler. In this episode, Britt sits down with Mona Sharma, celebrity nutritionist, wellness educator, and host of the Rooted in Wellness podcast, to explore how stress, burnout, inflammation, and disconnection are often compounded when we keep looking outside ourselves for the next fix. Together, they talk about Mona’s path from anxiety and heart palpitations to a more embodied way of living, and how practices rooted in rest, digestion, community, and nervous system safety can help the body come back online. They also explore what it means to build your own “ashram” in everyday life and why healing often begins by remembering the version of you that existed before survival became your norm. Tune in to better understand how real wellness can become less about fixing yourself and more about coming home to your body.

    Somatic Practice for Fatigue & Burnout Recovery

    In this somatic practice episode, Britt explores what fatigue and burnout can look like through a nervous system lens. She explains why exhaustion is often not just about doing too much, but about a system that has been carrying unresolved stress for too long and has shifted into shutdown. Through a gentle guided practice, she helps you orient to the present, notice where fatigue lives in the body, and slowly move between discomfort and support to build more capacity, regulation, and flexibility. If you feel tired but cannot truly rest, overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected, this episode offers a grounded place to begin.  Connect with Britt: Instagram: @healwithbrittTikTok: @healwithbrittYouTube: Brittany Piper Body-First Healing Resources: Join the Program: bodyfirsthealing.com/programSomatic Practitioner Training: bodyfirsthealing.com/somatic-certificateRead the Book: bodyfirsthealing.com/the-bookTake the Free Mini Course: myhealinghub.com/minicourseoptinWebsite: bodyfirsthealing.com LISTEN, FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts SpotifyYouTube

    How to Feel a Feeling: The 5 Steps of SIBAM for Nervous System Regulation

    Most of us were never actually taught how to feel a feeling. We were taught how to override it, rationalize it, minimize it, or move past it as quickly as possible. But what we suppress, the body will later express. What we resist will persist. In this episode, Britt breaks down one of the most foundational somatic tools for emotional processing: SIBAM. She explains why suppressing emotions can keep the nervous system stuck in a stress response cycle, why feelings are not the same as emotions, and how the body already knows how to process what the mind often interrupts. Britt walks through the five channels of SIBAM — sensation, image, behavior, affect, and meaning — and shares how each one can help you move through feelings in a gentler, more tolerable way. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by emotion, disconnected from your body, or unsure how to actually process what you feel, this episode offers a practical body-first framework to begin.  Connect with Britt: Instagram: @healwithbrittTikTok: @healwithbrittYouTube: Brittany Piper Body-First Healing Resources: Join the Program: bodyfirsthealing.com/programSomatic Practitioner Training: bodyfirsthealing.com/somatic-certificateRead the Book: bodyfirsthealing.com/the-bookTake the Free Mini Course: myhealinghub.com/minicourseoptinWebsite: bodyfirsthealing.com LISTEN, FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts SpotifyYouTube

    How to Manifest Through Embodiment & Release Limiting Beliefs with Matt Cooke

    Britt sits down with manifestation coach and author of Beyond Wanting, Matt Cooke, for a conversation that bridges manifestation, embodiment, and nervous system work. Matt shares the unexpected spiritual awakening that changed the course of his life, how it led him out of the corporate world, and why real manifestation is about much more than positive thinking. Together, Britt and Matt explore the biggest misconceptions around manifestation, the role of the subconscious mind, why trauma and limiting beliefs can block what we desire, and how slowing down, feeling safe in the body, and taking smaller, more regulated steps can create real change. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck between where they are and where they want to be, and wants a more grounded, body-aware way to move forward.  Resources: Read: Beyond Wanting: The Art of True Manifestation by Matt CookeWatch: The SecretGuided meditations: mattcooke.meFollow Matt on Instagram: @mattcookecoach Connect with Britt: Instagram: @healwithbrittTikTok: @healwithbrittYouTube: Brittany Piper Body-First Healing Resources: Join the Program: bodyfirsthealing.com/programSomatic Practitioner Training: bodyfirsthealing.com/somatic-certificateRead the Book: bodyfirsthealing.com/the-bookTake the Free Mini Course: myhealinghub.com/minicourseoptinWebsite: bodyfirsthealing.com LISTEN, FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts SpotifyYouTube

    The Myth of Nervous System Optimization: Why You Can’t Hack Healing

    Healing has increasingly been framed as something to optimize, perfect, or hack. In this episode, Britt explores the growing pressure within wellness culture to constantly upgrade your nervous system and why that mindset can actually move you further away from regulation. She breaks down common healing myths, why overcomplicating your practices can keep you stuck, and how nervous system safety is built through consistency, relationship, and everyday moments rather than endless tools. If you are interested in somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and a more honest approach to personal growth, this conversation will help you rethink what healing actually asks of you. Tune in to learn how to move out of performance and back into a more sustainable relationship with your body.
