What if your body is not working against you, but trying to tell you the truth?

In this episode, healer and author Joyce Brinton explains how stored stress, negative self-talk, and limiting labels can shape physical symptoms over time.

She reframes illness as feedback, not failure, and introduces energy as the space around the body that absorbs emotional and mental patterns. When fear and shame repeat, the body carries the load.

When language and awareness change, healing can begin.

Joyce shares practical tools you can use right away. She walks through ABC therapy to separate what happened from the meaning you assigned to it, forgiveness as a way to calm the nervous system, and daily energy hygiene to clear emotional residue.

The conversation also explores muscle testing as a fast way to access truth, cut through mental loops, and reconnect with purpose.

Whether you come from faith, curiosity, or skepticism, this episode meets you where you are. You do not need a belief system to heal, only a reason that matters to you.

If you feel stuck, drained, or disconnected from your body, this conversation offers a grounded path back to clarity, energy, and health.
