Making Peace With Our Bodies with Amy Weber
In today’s episode, Amy Weber joins us to guide a deeply important conversation about the role of the body in healing. Our bodies have carried us through so much—especially in the context of abuse—and yet they are often the most overlooked part of the healing process.Amy shares that the body is the “forgotten element” in recovery, and invites us to begin reclaiming it through one simple, powerful word: movement.As we move—into healing, into rest, into peace, and into relationship with God—our bodies begin to respond. They learn to settle. To breathe. To feel safe again.Coming from her work with the Releve One Foundation, Amy brings a message of hope: our bodies are not broken beyond repair—they are capable of responding, restoring, and healing.Episode on Extravagant Joy: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/SGl62USe81bOnly God Rescued Me:Website:https://www.onlygodrescuedme.com/Contact Lisa:lisa@onlygodrescuedme.comTo help support this podcast: Become an OGRM Support Angel on YouTube ($4.99 per month): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXudcfKU-b6NtSQphUOstRA/joinSpotify Subscriber ($2.99 per month): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/lisa-meister/subscribePayPal @Lisa453Venmo @lisameister4242 Square https://square.link/u/kQLAozvVBuy Me a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/onlygodrescuedme.com
