In this episode of Age Like a Badass Mother, Lauren sits down with spiritual acupuncturist and healer Banya Lim to explore intuition, emotional healing, and the connection between the body, mind, and spirit. Coming from a long lineage of healers, Banya shares her personal journey through depression and gastrointestinal issues, and how meditation, movement, and learning to “feel differently” helped her heal from the inside out.

The conversation dives into body wisdom, the emotional energy we carry, and the subtle ways intuition shows up in everyday life, even through the colors we’re drawn to wear. Banya explains how learning to listen to ourselves can lead to profound healing, better self-care, and a more aligned, harmonious life.

Topics Explored: 

• Banya’s background as a spiritual acupuncturist from a family of healers
• Her experience with depression and chronic gastrointestinal problems
• Healing through meditation, movement, and emotional awareness
• The connection between emotional and physical health
• How intuition can guide healing and life decisions
• Learning to trust your body’s signals and instincts
• The role of self-awareness in personal growth and well-being
