About this episode
Katie Mackey discusses the connection between the nervous system, habits, and healing.
In this episode, we're getting into the stuff most people avoid—your nervous system, your emotions, and the patterns you keep repeating even though you know better. Katie shares how she hit a breaking point in her late 20s—burnt out, dealing with injuries, feeling completely disconnected from her body—and how that forced her to rebuild everything from a different angle. We talk about: Why your body holds onto more than you think How stress and unprocessed emotions show up physically Why you keep defaulting to the same habits (even when you don't want to) And the part of "healing" that no one really wants to do Because the truth is… you can't think your way out of patterns your body is still holding onto. This episode isn't here to coddle you. But it will help you understand yourself better so you can actually move differently. If you feel like you've been doing all the "right" things but still not getting anywhere…this one's for you.
