Sometimes it’s easier to track your food than to name your feelings. But what if tuning into your emotions held the key to more energy, consistency, and even health progress with autoimmune disease? In this episode, I’m joined by somatic coach and former nurse Danelle Gal (aka Nurse Nell) for a conversation that brings warmth, wisdom, and practical strategies to the emotional side of habit change.
