EPISODE 58: Birth Control, Hormones & Sovereignty: The Truth Most Women Aren’t Taught (with Brandi Bradley)

EPISODE 60: Why High-Achieving Women Still Feel Out of Control (Even When They “Have It All”)

You can be successful, disciplined, and high-achieving and still feel emotionally out of control inside. In this episode, I break down why so many high-achieving women feel anxious, disconnected, and chaotic beneath the surface, even when life looks “good” on the outside. We talk about survival-driven success, emotional suppression, self-abandonment, and why mindset work alone isn’t enough to create safety in your body. If you’ve done the therapy, the journaling, the healing work but still feel dysregulated, reactive, or empty inside, this conversation will give you clarity on what’s actually missing. ✨ Join my free live mini-training UNSTUCK on February 12th at 7 PM EST to learn how to regulate emotional triggers through embodiment so you can respond to life with clarity instead of spiraling. 👉 Grab the free training: HERE [https://joanna-sanchez.mykajabi.com/unstuckminitraining]

EPISODE 59: Feeling Safe in Your Body: The Missing Link to Confidence, Boundaries, & Aliveness

Lately, the phrase “feeling safe in your body” is everywhere. But what does that actually mean? In this episode, I’m recording straight from Costa Rica after hosting a deeply transformative women’s retreat and I’m breaking down what I see over and over again in women who feel stuck, anxious, disconnected, or afraid to take the next step in their lives. In this episode, I share why feeling unsafe in the body is at the root of anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, disconnection, body shame, and the constant sense that something is wrong even when life looks “fine” on the outside. This isn’t something you fix by thinking harder.This isn’t something you heal by DOING more. Safety is cultivated through the body. When emotions were too much, too fast, or too soon — and never fully completed ,they don’t disappear. They live in the body as tension, contraction, hypervigilance, numbness, or shutdown. And from that place, it becomes nearly impossible to trust yourself, hear your desires, or take aligned action. In this episode, I walk you through: * How to recognize when your body doesn’t feel safe * Why disembodiment has become an epidemic for women * How trauma, boundary violations, and emotional suppression live in the nervous system * And what becomes possible when safety is restored from the inside out Feeling safe in your body changes how you relate to money, relationships, work, creativity, rest, and yourself. It’s the difference between surviving your life and actually inhabiting it. If you feel like you’re constantly in your head, stuck in fear, disconnected from your desires, or longing to feel at home in yourself again, this episode is for you. And if something in you knows you’re ready to go deeper, I invite you into my free Alive Mini Course, where I guide you through a 21-day embodiment practice to begin cultivating real safety in your body: CLICK HERE [https://joanna-sanchez.mykajabi.com/alive_minicourse] Your body is your home, babe.

EPISODE 58: Birth Control, Hormones & Sovereignty: The Truth Most Women Aren’t Taught (with Brandi Bradley)

In this episode of I’m Moving Through It, I’m joined by hormone expert + functional medicine practitioner Brandi Bradley for a necessary conversation about hormonal birth control, women’s sovereignty over their body, and what your body is actually asking for beneath the symptoms. We talk about why so many women are prescribed birth control as a “solution,” what’s really going on under the surface (stress, inflammation, blood sugar imbalances, liver function, thyroid support), and how learning your menstrual cycle can become one of the most empowering things you ever do. In this episode, we cover: * Why Brandi got into hormones + functional medicine (Hashimoto’s + her own experience with birth control) * The difference between masking symptoms vs. root cause healing * Why “regulating your cycle” with birth control isn’t actually regulation * The real drivers behind painful periods, heavy bleeding, PMS, bloating, migraines (and why they’re not “random”) * The hierarchy Brandi looks at first: blood sugar, liver function, inflammation, stress/nervous system * Why nervous system regulation + embodiment are one of the most underrated hormone “protocols” * How birth control can impact your metabolism * Natural pregnancy prevention options rooted in cycle education How to track your cycle: cervical mucus + basal body temperature (and what each one tells you)The wild truth that birth control can shift pheromones + who you’re attracted to Connect with Brandi: Instagram: @betterwithcoachb [https://www.instagram.com/betterwithcoachb] Email: betterwithcoachb@gmail.com Connect With Joanna: Check out the Wildly Liberated Retreat happening in Costa Rica this January ⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠ [https://joanna-sanchez.mykajabi.com/Wildlyliberatedretreat] 1:1 Embodiment Mentorship with Joanna: Apply ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfpgQZVmQkDQTPGMoydC5xjgELYOx5zKwsfAplG51-G18yk-Q/viewform?pli=1]   Learn more about your feminine energy in this No B.S.

Episode 57: The Wild Woman Rising: Reclaiming the Part of You That Was Never Meant to Be Domesticated

In this episode, Joanna takes you into the part of the feminine psyche most women have been taught to suppress — the wild, instinctual, expressive part that has never stopped wanting to be free. She guides you into understanding the wild woman archetype as not just an idea, but a living energy inside your body… the part of you that wants to break out of “good girl” conditioning, stop performing, and return to your raw, instinctual truth. Throughout the conversation, Joanna explores: ✨ Why women often judge other women’s raw expression — and what that reveals about their own suppressed wildness ✨ How Carl Jung’s teachings on the collective unconscious apply to feminine healing today ✨ Why feminine rage lives in the womb and how it connects to ancestral memory ✨ The power of sacred rage and why it’s a doorway to your voice and intuition ✨ How embodiment lets you access layers of your psyche your mind can’t reach ✨ What shifts in your relationships, leadership, and self-expression when your wild woman comes online ✨ Why safety is the foundation for unleashing expression — and how to build it Joanna takes you on a journey into the deeper layers of your instinct, your voice, your truth, and the parts of you that were never meant to be domesticated. If you feel something awakening in your body while listening, that’s intentional — it’s your wild woman coming online!
