The Body Talks Podcast

Megan Robitaille 5 - Ep.5 : The Brain & Chronic Pain with Alex Wetz

Stories of Body-Led Forced Surrender. Chronic illness, injury, pain, burnout, and nervous system collapse can challenge our sense of body sovereignty and force us to renegotiate who we are and how we relate to our bodies. We can run the tests, correct the mechanics, and work on the physical plane—but there is often a deeper somatic, energetic, and identity process unfolding beneath it all. Body Talks explores biomechanics, biochemistry, and nervous system capacity through body trust and surrender, inviting you to open a deeper dialogue with your body.
