Reconnecting With Your Body After Burnout, Shame, and Disconnection | with host Emily Duncan

In this episode, I'm talking to high-performing women who feel disconnected from their bodies… not just physically, but energetically and emotionally too.

If you've gone months or years avoiding mirrors and photos, skipping workouts, ignoring hunger or fatigue cues, hiding in your clothes, or outsourcing your worth to the scale, this episode is for you. You're not broken, but you are checked out. And it's time to check back in.

I walk you through a four-phase reconnection framework designed to help you gently and powerfully rebuild trust with your body without guilt, shame, or extreme overcorrection. This is about moving away from punishment and into partnership.

I want you to become the woman who doesn't just look good, but actually feels good in her skin again.

We talk about honesty without shame, why performative discipline keeps women stuck, how to rebuild safety through pace and structure, why micro-commitments matter more than massive overhauls, and how reclaiming your personal standards is the key to lasting confidence and embodiment.

This episode is an invitation to reconnect, not by going backward, but by doing it better this time.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why high-performing women disconnect from their bodies
• Honesty without shame vs guilt spirals
• Compassion and accountability
• Performative discipline vs embodied discipline
• Pace, ramping, and evaluation for sustainable change
• Why extreme resets and challenges fail
• Micro-commitments and rebuilding self-trust
• Reclaiming personal standards without punishment
• Choice points and self-leadership
• Moving from punishment to partnership with your body
