    Somatic Practice: Connect with Your Intuition

    If your intuition feels unreachable, this practice is for you. In this guided somatic episode, Britt offers a different way to understand intuition: your inner knowing did not disappear, your access to it did, and those are two very different things. When your nervous system is busy scanning for danger, managing everyone else's emotions, or proving your worth, there is not much attention left to notice the quieter signals underneath. Rather than chasing answers, this practice helps you create the conditions where clarity can arrive on its own. You will settle your body, set down the questions you have been carrying, and gently practice becoming available to your own wisdom without forcing it.

    Q&A: How to Talk About Your Trauma Without Over-Explaining, Quiet a Racing Mind at Night & Heal Without Reliving the Past

    You finally crawl into bed exhausted, and that is the exact moment your mind decides to replay every conversation and solve every problem you have ever had. In this Q&A episode, Britt answers four thoughtful listener questions through a body-first lens: when and how to tell a partner you have CPTSD, what is really happening in your nervous system when you are tired but wired at night, whether you can heal trauma with somatic experiencing without revisiting specific memories, and how to help a highly logical partner understand your healing journey. If you have ever felt like your reactions do not make sense, this episode is a steady reminder that they do, and that healing can happen through the body in the present moment rather than by reliving the past.

    You're Not Lost, You're Changing: The Nervous System Reason Change Feels So Hard

    Lately you might catch yourself thinking, "I don't feel like myself anymore," and wondering what is wrong with you. In this deeply personal solo episode, Britt offers a different possibility: that not feeling like yourself is often exactly what growth feels like. She explores why change feels so disorienting in the body, why your nervous system can read even aligned, beautiful growth as danger, why becoming someone new almost always includes grief, and how small moments of stability can keep your body open to what is emerging instead of retreating to what is familiar. If you are standing in the tender space between who you have been and who you are becoming, this one will help you feel less alone in it.

    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
