How to Reconnect With Your Body When You Don’t Trust It Anymore
Introduction
Have you ever felt like your body has let you down?
Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, struggling with difficult periods, recovering from loss, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, it’s easy to slip into a relationship with your body that is built on frustration, blame and mistrust.
Many women spend years trying to fix their bodies. We search for answers, follow advice, track symptoms and look for solutions, yet often forget one of the most important things: learning how to listen.
In this episode of The 30-Something Shift Podcast, I sit down with womb energy healer, birth doula and yoga teacher Jessica Botello to explore what it means to reconnect with your body and rebuild trust in yourself.
Together, we discuss body awareness, fertility, emotional wellbeing, energy healing, women’s circles and the powerful role that self-compassion can play in healing. This conversation is a gentle reminder that your body is not broken—and that sometimes the first step forward is learning to listen.

A Simple Practice to Reconnect With Yourself
One of the most beautiful moments in this conversation is when Jessica shares a simple practice for women who feel disconnected from their bodies.
Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your womb space.
Breathe slowly.
Listen.
Release judgement.
Offer yourself the same compassion you would offer a child, a loved one or even a hurt puppy.
Healing doesn’t always begin with doing more. Sometimes it begins with simply being present with yourself.
Key Takeaway
One of the most powerful messages from this episode is that your body is not your enemy.
Many women spend years trying to force, fix or fight their way towards health, fertility or healing. Jessica reminds us that healing often begins when we stop judging ourselves and start listening instead.
Through awareness, compassion and connection, it becomes possible to rebuild trust in your body—even during life’s most difficult seasons.
