#47 Belly Fat - Carrying the weight of t...

Tracey Stevens
About this episode

Belly fat can hold more meaning than diet or lifestyle.

This conversation explores how childhood trauma, criticism, and the need to protect shapes the body and its symptoms.

Through tender reflection, we trace the links between digestive imbalance, self-protection, and the weight of the past, and open into the possibility of stepping into a new version of self,  with love, creativity, and connection.

A gentle reminder that the body carries our stories and healing begins when we listen.
