10-02-25 Your Body Is Speaking… Here’s How to Finally Listen
Your body is speaking—are you listening?
In this week’s episode, I sit down with author, TEDx speaker, and leadership coach Jen Aks to explore how tapping into the body’s wisdom can unlock healing, authenticity, and deeper connection. Jen shares her groundbreaking Power of Gesture practice and her new book Your Body is Speaking, showing us how simple movements can transform self-doubt into confidence and open the door to more love, joy, and fulfillment in the second half of life.
We dive into:
- The difference between mindset and bodyset—and why both matter
- Jen’s Power of Gesture practice and the G.I.F.T. method (Ground, Imagine, Feel, Transform)
- How gestures help us release contraction and step into expansion
- Why so many of us disconnect from our body’s wisdom—and how to reconnect
- Sneak peeks from Jen’s upcoming book Your Body is Speaking
- Practical ways to use body wisdom for love, relationships, and everyday confidence
