What if the answer to feeling better isn't adding more — it's asking better questions first?

Veronique Ory is a yoga teacher, author, and autoimmune disease survivor who spent years fighting her body before she learned to listen to it. As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, she also understands something most wellness conversations skip, that what we carry in our bodies isn't always ours alone.

In this episode Veronique shares the simple but radical shift that changed everything: stop reaching for more, see what you can eliminate, and start paying attention to what your body is already telling you.

You'll learn:

• Why pain is a messenger, not an enemy
• How to find movement you'll actually stick with
• Simple micro-movements you can do anywhere, anytime
• How to build a daily rhythm that supports your nervous system
• The easiest meal prep approach for busy women who don't cook
