Your body is giving you real-time data. The question is, are you listening or overruling it?In this episode, Kathy sits down with leadership coach Miranda Holder to explore body intelligence and why it is often the missing link for high-achieving women who overthink and under-feel. They unpack how Type A and Type C coping patterns disconnect us from what we actually feel, why insight alone is not enough, and how practices like the Body Map and externalization can help you return to clarity, self-trust, and aligned decision-making.
In this episode, Kathy and Miranda discuss:
Body intelligence and embodied decision-making
Type A versus Type C coping patterns and emotional suppression
Somatic awareness and nervous system cues
Body Map practice for reconnecting to self-trust
Overthinking, intuition, and real-time data from the body
Coaching versus therapy and why consistent self-investment matters
