Mindfully Disruptive is the podcast for the woman who has outgrown the life she built — and is finally ready to build the one that she has been craving. If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, How did I get here… and why doesn’t my life fit anymore? Who am I now? Why does everything feel different? — pull up a chair, friend. You’re in the right place. This show is for women moving through midlife — and yes, through perimenopause and menopause — as the initiation it truly is. Not as an ending; as a remembering - a return - a becoming. Together, we explore the exhaustion beneath the exhaustion: the draining of your energy, the control used in order to feel safe, the ways we continually hand our power away, and the ancestral burdens we continue to carry rent-free in our minds, hearts, and bodies. Through tools like Human Design, Gene Keys, creative art practices, ancestral medicine, divination, and shamanic wisdom, we explore what it means to reclaim your energy, your identity, and your self-leadership. On your own terms. In your own timing. In your own design. Each week, we dive into Human Design and Gene Keys teachings that…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T06:19:41.522307+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mindfully-disruptive-7092517"},"episode":{"title":"S5: Episode 69: Emotional Constipation Is Real—And It's Living in Your Stomach","slug":"s5-episode-69-emotional-constipation-is-real-and-it-s-living-in-your-stomach","published_at":"2026-04-27T00:11:35+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mindfully-disruptive-7092517/s5-episode-69-emotional-constipation-is-real-and-it-s-living-in-your-stomach","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/mindfully-disruptive-7092517","url":"https://mindfullydisruptivethepodcast.transistor.fm/70","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/08f09cc6/7e9fedc6.mp3","summary":"That knot you feel? That constant tension? It's not random. It's your body holding what you haven't been able to release. Compressed emotion. Compressed stress. Compressed fear that has nowhere else to go. And the more you tolerate it, the more you swallow it, the tighter that knot gets. In this episode, I share what happened when I felt that knot on a morning walk with Leo—and what I learned about what my body was trying to tell me. We talk about: · Why your stomach is your second brain (and what the gut-brain axis actually means) · The difference between passively absorbing the world and swallowing everything whole · What happens when you don't digest your emotions (spoiler: they lodge themselves into your body) · Why suppressing emotions creates exhaustion—and the science behind it · How tolerating what doesn't feel right creates that constant knot in your stomach · Two simple practices to start loosening the knot: awareness and expansion Here's the truth: You're not just digesting food. You're digesting literally everything in your world. Information. Emotions—yours and everyone else's. Energy. Experiences. And when you don't have a way to process what you're absorbing, it all just sits there. In your field. In your energy. In your stomach. That's emotional constipation. And just like being physically constipated, it doesn't feel good. But here's what I want you to understand: Your stomach knows what your mind is trying to ignore. That tension, that knot—it's not your enemy. It's your ally. It's the part of you still trying to protect you, still trying to get your attention, still trying to say: this isn't working, we need to do something differently. So start listening. Start noticing. Start creating space for your body to speak. And if you're ready to go deeper—i…","meta_description":"That knot you feel? That constant tension? It's not random.
