This week, I’m joined by the brilliant Jade Starbala, founder of Spring Fed Solutions, educator, writer, holistic healer, and Wayfinder Life Coach-in-Training. Jade’s work is all about helping you discover your innate power to heal, thrive, and align with your truest self. In this episode, we explore a tool she uses called The Body Compass—a powerful method for connecting with your body’s wisdom to guide you in making aligned decisions.
This begins with tuning into your physical sensations, using both positive and negative emotions as cues. By identifying how your body reacts to different feelings, you start to build awareness of what feels good and what doesn’t. Jade shares how this practice is more than just tuning in—it’s reclaiming your power.
You start with small experiences, focusing first on identifying negative sensations. Why? Because it builds the muscle you’ll need to navigate those tricky moments in real time, like when a negative thought or emotion pops up. From there, you can apply this method to bigger decisions, moving toward choices that feel attuned and aligned with your values and desires.
I had a session with Jade and can personally attest to how transformative this process can be. It’s like learning a new language—one where your body does the talking, and you finally learn how to listen. This February, Jade and I are hosting a group session at Ananta Wellness & Beauty Boutique in Wallingford, CT, where we’ll be using the Body Compass in a community setting. This is your chance to try this powerful practice in real-time and be witnessed by others who are on a similar journey!
