The Workout Witch: Liz Tenuto on Trauma, Somatics, and When the Body Speaks (Part 1)
About this episode
Liz Tenuto discusses her journey of healing from trauma and abuse through somatics and movement.
Liz Tenuto, aka The Workout Witch, joins A Little Bit Culty for a seriously useful, beautifully weird conversation about healing after abuse, trauma, and all the body-based chaos that can follow. She shares how TikTok accidentally became her platform, how somatics helped her reclaim her body after an abusive marriage, and why movement ended up being the thing that finally made a dent in her insomnia and dissociation. Liz also talks about the early warning signs she missed, including love bombing, financial abuse and tech abuse, and the slow, mean little erosion of identity that kept her doubting herself for way too long. Her story is further shaped by childhood sexual abuse, a later assault at 14, and the way trauma can sit in the body until the right kind of healing starts opening the trapdoor. This episode is equal parts candid, smart, and deeply validating for anyone who has ever felt like their nervous system was running a little hot and a lot haunted. Stay tuned for Part 2 of our convo on Thursday. Pick up a copy of Liz’s book, When the Body Speaks and follow her at theworkoutwitch.com or on Instagram , Facebook , TikTok , Threads or YouTube .
