Description

Your body has an inner voice—and it speaks through sensation. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Emily Splichal unpacks the science of interoception, the powerful link between fascia, emotion, and your nervous system's sense of safety. From butterflies in your stomach to chronic pain, she reveals how the "I am safe" question drives your movement, mindset, and well-being.

You'll learn:

• Why two people with the same injury can experience pain so differently
• How fascia is deeply tied to your emotions and identity
• Practical ways to boost vagal tone for emotional regulation
  

Dr. Emily blends science, stories, and actionable tools—from cold showers to barefoot movement—so you can tune into your body's signals, regulate your nervous system, and move through life with more connection, calm, and resilience.
