Welcome to The Wisdom from Within podcast, I am Jen Aks and this is where we access mindset and bodyset - connecting both so that we can create the genuine, authentic, impact in our own lives and the lives we serve. We get there by having conversations with industry leaders, scientists, executives, parents, your neighbors.

    Your Nervous System Might Be Causing Your Pain | Ep 19

    Welcome to Wisdom From Within, where mindset meets bodyset, and we reconnect with the hidden intelligence within us. Each week, we explore the wisdom living in our bodies, our experiences, and our deepest truths, guiding us to live and lead from a place of alignment and authenticity. After the sudden loss of her mother, Jane Hogan developed debilitating joint pain that quickly progressed into a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. But instead of accepting pain as her future, she began asking a different question: What is my body trying to tell me? In this inspiring conversation, Jane shares how calming her nervous system, healing emotional wounds, and learning to trust her body's wisdom transformed her health and ultimately led her to help thousands of others overcome chronic pain. This episode explores the powerful connection between stress, the brain, the nervous system, and the body's remarkable ability to heal. In this space, we remember that our bodies carry their own wisdom. The quiet guidance we’ve always had, the instincts that have steered us before we could explain why.  Your body is speaking. When we slow down and listen, we reconnect with that inner knowing.💜 Quote: "Just by being calm, loving, and compassionate, you're creating a ripple in the world."

    It's Never Too Late to Become Who You're Meant to Be | Ep 17

    What if your greatest chapter hasn't happened yet? In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Lynnis Woods-Mullins shares her journey from witnessing history at Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral as a child to leaving corporate America at 51 and building a purpose driven life rooted in intuition, wellness, and self-trust. She discusses the lessons that emerged from motherhood, entrepreneurship, reinvention, aging, and learning to seek validation from within rather than from the outside world. This episode is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to trust yourself, pursue your calling, and become the person you were always meant to be. Quotes: “Your validation of who you are does not lie outside of you. It's within.” “The only thing standing in your way is you and what's happening between your two ears.” “When you're comfortable with yourself, there's a light that emanates from you.” Chapters:  07:45 – Learning to Trust Intuition Later in Life  13:10 – Leaving Corporate America at 51  17:00 – Building a Life Through Purpose and Wellness  21:00 – When She Ignored Her Intuition  27:00 – Why Validation Must Come From Within  35:00 – The Power of Self-Love and Reinvention https://jenaks.com/ My Book: Your Body is Speaking IG: https://www.instagram.com/jen_aks/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/jennferaks YT: https://www.youtube.com/@jen_aks LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenaks/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jen_aks  🎵 Music by Max Lilivois @prd.maxxell ✨ If this episode made you see your body and your brain in a new way, share it with someone who needs the science behind the wisdom.
