Someone tells you to "just think positive!" and you want to scream. Or maybe you've tried affirmations while feeling like crap underneath - and nothing changed. That's because positive thinking without energetic congruence is just blah blah blah. In this episode, we explore why you can't trick yourself into change, what's really underneath your reactions, and what actually works instead of forced positivity.

Here's a quick exercise: Make a list of everything wrong with your body. Easy, right? You probably have that list ready to go. Now make a list of what you LIKE about your body, or what your body's strengths are. Harder, isn't it?

This is the relationship most of us have with our bodies - and in this episode, I want to invite you to question whether that has to be true.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why we can list everything "wrong" with our bodies instantly, but struggle to name what we like
• What made you choose to have a body in this lifetime (and no, it wasn't punishment)
• The sensations and experiences only a body can give you
• Why "just think positive" doesn't work (and what energetic congruence actually means)
• The chocolate paradox: how your judgments about food change your body at a molecular level
• Why you can't trick yourself with affirmations when your underlying beliefs haven't shifted
• How to actually get present with your body (and what that even means)
• The power of asking: "What is my body trying to tell me?" instead of "How do I fix this?"

Key concepts:

• Your body listens to everything you think and say about it
• Thoughts change molecular structure (this is scientifically measurable now)
• Being present with your body means getting curious, not trying to control or fix
• Pain and "problems" might be your body's way of getting your attention for something else entirely

Questions to ask yourself:

• When was the last time you actually had FUN with your body?
• What would change if you stopped fighting your body and started having a relationship with it?
• What's one small moment of enjoyment you could choose with your body today?

This is the first episode of The Uncomfortable Question, where we explore the questions that unlock your own wisdom about bodies, animals, relationships, and life.

A note: This episode was recorded live during a "Meet Suzy" event, so you'll hear some audience interaction.

If your dog goes into full panic mode during thunderstorms, fireworks, or other loud noises, this episode is for you.

But here's the thing: when your dog is anxious and you don't know how to help them, you get anxious too. You want them to be calm, but they're not calm, and now you're both a mess. And your dog? They're picking up on YOUR anxiety just as much as they're reacting to the noise.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why your anxiety contributes to your dog's anxiety (and how to break that cycle)
• What noise sensitivity might really be about (cellular memory, past life trauma, protective instincts gone haywire)
• The practice of "being the rock in the stream" - staying calm so your animal can follow your lead
• Why your dog might get MORE agitated when you first try to calm them (and why that's actually normal)
• How to establish cellular-level peace with your animal BEFORE the noisy event happens
• The importance of practicing this when things are calm (not waiting for the crisis)

This episode includes:

• Practical instructions for a calming practice with your animal
• A guided meditation/acknowledgment you can play directly for your dog (on loop!)
• Permission to let your animal show you where they're struggling (without trying to fix them)

Key insights:

• Your animal is connected to YOUR body - if you can get calm, they can access that calm too
• Getting calm isn't in their repertoire when they're anxious - you have to show them it's safe
• Past trauma (even from other lifetimes) can live in their cellular structure
• This isn't about forcing them to be calm - it's about creating the space where calm becomes possible

How to use this episode:

1. Listen once with your animal to understand the practice
2. Play the meditation portion on loop for your dog (even when you're not home)
3. Practice this regularly BEFORE loud events (start a few weeks ahead if possible)
4. Use it during storms/fireworks once you've established the practice

Best for: Dogs and cats sensitive to thunderstorms, fireworks, gunshots, or any loud noises. Also helpful for animals with general anxiety.

Note: This episode includes repetition - the guided portion loops so your animal can listen multiple times. The looping is intentional for their benefit.
