Everything on the outside can be faked now. The one thing that still can't lie to you is your own body. This week, yoga instructor and Yoga Moxi founder Michele Carrión Yopps joins us to talk about what happens when we stop trusting ourselves, and how to build that trust back.

We get into:

• Why corporate environments are built to numb the body's signals
• The heart's own nervous system and what that means for "gut feeling"
• The eight limbs of yoga
• Why chronic burnout physically changes brain tissue, and what helps it rebuild
• Inherited stress and where the body stores what the mind forgets

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why your body may register something before your mind catches up
• How corporate spaces are structured to quiet the body's signals
• What the gut-to-brain pathway means for how you process the world
• How chronic burnout changes brain tissue, and what helps reverse it
