In this week's Wisdom Episode, we’re exploring the powerful connection between trauma and the body, and how gentle movement can help us release what’s been stuck for years.

I’m joined by Manuela Mitevova, a somatic movement teacher who specialises in helping women release trapped emotional energy through simple, restorative movement practices.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, or emotional overwhelm, this episode offers a gentle invitation to reconnect with your body and begin healing, one breath and one movement at a time.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why trauma is often stored in large muscle groups built for fight and flight, e.g. the hips, core, back, and pelvis
• How the core holds emotional energy due to vital organs and energy pathways (meridians)
• How somatic movements (like pelvic tilts and neck rolls) can support emotional release
• Why chronic pain may be linked to unresolved trauma held in the body
• How to begin with safe, small, simple movements to avoid burnout and maintain consistency
• Why self-acceptance, awareness, and patience are key

Understanding that healing takes time, but gentle opens the door to long-term wellbeing

• 08:00 – Getting started with somatic movement
• 11:19 – Why gentleness is key in healing

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt emotionally ‘stuck’ in your body or want a more holistic way to heal and support your nervous system.

This week, I’m joined by Cynthia Hammer, author, advocate, and founder of the Inattentive ADHD Coalition. Diagnosed with ADHD at 49, Cynthia shares her powerful story of living undiagnosed for decades and how that experience inspired her mission to raise awareness, especially for girls who are so often overlooked.

We explore the emotional and practical effects of late diagnosis, why inattentive ADHD remains under-recognised, and how early intervention can make a lasting difference. Cynthia’s journey is both inspiring and validating, especially for those questioning whether ADHD has shaped their own path.

Tune in to learn why early recognition matters and how it could change lives, starting with the next generation of girls.

✨ Why ADHD in girls is still frequently missed or misdiagnosed due to masking and societal expectations

✨ The emotional toll of undiagnosed ADHD and misunderstanding of inattentive ADHD

✨ The role of early diagnosis for ADHD girls and screening for the whole family

✨ Signs teachers and parents can look for to diagnose ADHD

✨ How to shift from shame and negative self-talk to self-compassion and understanding

✨ Cynthia Hammer’s personal journey with adult diagnosis and her advocacy through the Inattentive ADHD Coalition and FINDtheADHDgirls project

✨ The evolution of ADHD awareness and what the future of diagnosis and support might look like

✨ The power of community and advocacy to empower women in the next generation navigating ADHD
