What if your gut issues or autoimmune symptoms were more than physical—what if they were messages from your body?

In this episode, I speak with trauma expert and transformational coach Keila Barnard about how unresolved emotional wounds often manifest as chronic illness, particularly conditions like ulcerative colitis.

Keila shares how trauma disrupts the body’s natural balance, why many of us disconnect from our true selves, and how symptoms can be a call to listen rather than suppress.

We explore the idea that healing begins with curiosity, compassion, and reconnecting with your body’s signals.

If you’ve ever felt that your health struggles have deeper roots, this conversation is for you.
