Welcome to episode 81 of The Optimal Body Podcast
Trust Your Truth with Shannon Algeo
Do you find yourself stuck in the past? Are you seeking but cannot seem to move on? Is your go-to solution to triggers and “undesirable” emotions to suppress and repress them? The truth is, we all suffer from trauma in some way shape or form. We live in a society that stigmatizes emotional behaviors and representations that consequently arise from our experiences of trauma. Shannon Algeo speaks the truth about distinguishing what we internalize from society and what the truths inside of us actually encompass. He guides the path of trusting and exploiting your inner-voice as a representation of your intuition and rightful ego. Through this journey, you will unveil the capacity and permission to just feel. Shannon shares his approach to accessing your truth through exploring the 7 chakras that align your body, and by delving into his NPFL, re-centring, and titrating tools to facilitate your process to self-discovery and self-trust. Get ready to feel invigorated, yet grounded, and be a part of the conversation as Shannon, Dr. Jen, and Dr. Dom shed light on their experiences with all things emotions, trauma, and what it meant for them to dive in and explore their truths.
