Have you ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed, or even physically unwell - without really knowing why? What if your body is trying to tell you something?

In this episode, I’m joined by Susan Murray, a highly effective therapeutic coach, to explore the powerful connection between emotional healing and chronic illness. Susan shares her journey of discovering how suppressed emotions can manifest as fatigue, anxiety, and physical pain - and how aligning your mind and body is the key to true healing.

We dive deep into why women, especially caregivers and people-pleasers, struggle to prioritise their needs, and how you can start making shifts toward well-being, balance, and self-trust. If you’ve ever felt burnt out, stuck, or disconnected from yourself, this episode is for you.

✔ Emotional suppression can lead to physical illness - learning to process emotions is key to well-being.

✔ Overgiving and people-pleasing drain your energy and can contribute to burnout and chronic fatigue.

✔ Tuning into your intuition helps you recognise what your body needs before symptoms worsen.

✔ Prioritising yourself isn’t selfish - it’s essential for your health, happiness, and relationships.

✔ Joy is a powerful tool for healing - small daily shifts can have a big impact.
