Ep 27: Health and Wellness Through a Body-First Lens with Janis Isaman

French Kissing Life

Your body is speaking. Are you listening? Janis Isaman, founder of My Body Couture and a trauma-sensitive movement specialist, lends her expertise to this fascinating topic. Learn how your body writes the story of your life and why understanding its language could be the key to unlocking emotional regulation and overall well-being. From distinguishing between trauma responses and emotions to practical tips for building body awareness, this conversation will change how you think about the mind-body connection.
Topics covered:

• Janis' background and her body-first wellness approach.
• Difference between trauma response and emotion.
• Understanding physical and mental connections.
• Importance of integration over healing.
• Impacts of modern living on health.
• How regular physical activity contributes to long life.

Here are some actions you can take whether you have 5 minutes or 50:

• If you have 5 minutes, read this article from Calm that talks about what the mind-body connection is and how to strengthen it.
  • https://www.calm.com/blog/mind-body-connection
• If you have 50 minutes, read another article this time from Positive Psychology called "Exploring the mind-body connection (and includes 5 techniques)."
  • https://positivepsychology.com/body-mind-integration-attention-training/
• As an added bonus, I’m suggesting an article that Janis wrote on Elephant Journal called “A simple but difficult daily practice to connect our physical bodies to our emotions.”
