Stop fighting your willpower and start listening to your body. Lori Montry reveals why your "bad habits" are actually your nervous system's way of keeping you safe

In Episode 238 of Women Connected in Wisdom, Christine is joined by Lori Montry - a somatic practitioner, author of You're Not the Problem, and the creator of the Freedom Framework. Drawing on her Harvard Law background and her own lived experience with anxiety, Lori translates the complex science of stress physiology into practical, immediately usable tools.

We focus on the Physical Wellness dimension, specifically how our nervous system drives our daily choices. Lori explains that coping behaviors like emotional eating, overthinking, and overachieving aren't personal failures; they are intelligent adaptations our bodies create to protect us. We explore how to move beyond willpower's limits to rebuild safety from the inside out.

If you have felt stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage, this whole-self perspective will help you understand your needs and find the capacity for true, sustainable change.
