The Twenty Something Podcast
What Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You with Dr. Ali Harpp
In this episode, we talk about: Feeling lost and disconnected from yourself in your 20s Ali's experience with addiction, disordered eating, bodybuilding, and body image How a serious back injury ultimately changed the direction of her life Why she decided to become a chiropractor What Network Spinal care is and how it differs from traditional chiropractic care The connection between your spine, nervous system, stress, and the way you experience life What happens when your body gets stuck in fight-or-flight mode How past experiences can influence the way we respond to new situations Why we tend to fall back into old versions of ourselves when life feels uncertain Attaching our identity to the things we've been through Learning to ask, "Who am I without the things that happened to me?" The difference between discipline and constantly forcing yourself to push harder Learning to listen to what your body actually needs Why slowing down doesn't mean you're doing less Simple ways to reconnect with yourself and your body Ali's advice for anyone in their 20s who feels like they should have everything figured out This conversation is such a good reminder that sometimes the answer isn't to work harder, push through, or find another thing outside of yourself to fix everything. Sometimes it's learning to slow down long enough to hear what your body has been trying to tell you.
