What happens when the medical system tells you to "wait and see"—and you decide you're done waiting?

In the very first episode of In Your Bones™, Vivian takes you back to the moment everything changed: a routine school screening and a diagnosis that would shape the next three decades of her life.

Scoliosis.

But this isn't just a story about a curved spine.

It's about what happens when you grow up feeling like something's wrong with you. When you try to fix, control, and perfect your way out of pain. When you exhaust every expert, every protocol, every promise and still feel unseen.

And then… when you finally stop searching outside yourself and start listening to what your body's been protecting you from all along.

In this episode, Vivian shares:

• The moment she realized her body wasn't broken—it was wise
• How years of hiding, overachieving, and "staying strong" kept her stuck
• Why yoga teacher training cracked something open (and not in a good way)
• The conflicting medical advice that left her more confused than empowered
• How she became the evidence no one could give her—and reduced her curve in her 30s and 40s
• The deeper truth beneath all physical pain: your bones are holding your history

This episode is for you if:

• You've been told to "just do yoga" or "wait and see" about your scoliosis or chronic pain
• You're tired of feeling like your body is broken or like you're doing something wrong
• You've tried all the protocols, but nothing feels sustainable or aligned
• You're ready to stop fixing and start listening
• You want to understand the body-brain connection and how emotions live in your posture

What you'll walk away with:

• A new way of understanding your body, not as something to control, but as something to relate to
• Permission to stop performing strength and start embodying safety
• Hope that healing isn't about doing more, it's about understanding what you've been protecting yourself from
• An invitation into a community where you're not alone in this journey
