In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Jen Rapkin, naturopathic doctor, body worker, former dancer, and author of The Feeling Muscle: Sitting With and Outlasting Hard Feelings, and I walked away from this one with so much clarity around something I've personally been navigating — the relationship between what we hold in our bodies and how it shows up as physical symptoms, dis-ease, and emotional patterns we can't seem to shake. In this episode, we explore: What it means to be a "frequent feeler" — and why that's actually a gift, not a burden How the messages we were raised with ("grow thicker skin," "boys don't cry," "grin and bear it") trained us to armor up and disconnect from our emotional body Why emotion is a pre-verbal, physical experience — and how learning to locate feelings in the body changes everything The concept of "shaking the hand" of a feeling — a simple, powerful practice for beginning to sit with what's coming up rather than numbing or distracting Why Dr. Raphkin's approach is NOT about excavating trauma — it's about exercising your feeling muscle one small moment at a time The connection between unprocessed emotions and physical symptoms (gut issues, hormonal imbalance, chronic illness) — and why the nervous system is always part of the conversation How we've become conditioned to outsource our health, our answers, and our healing to strangers on the internet — and why the most powerful answers already live inside you Why safety and permission are at the root of emotional processing — and how childhood conditioning shapes our nervous system well into adulthood Let's dive in!
