Your Body Knows
Your Body Knows is a podcast for women ready to return to their bodies to find what was never truly lost — their power, their truth, and their way forward. Hosted by somatic life coach and writer Shanetta McDonald, this podcast explores the messy, beautiful work of healing, self-trust, and becoming at home in your own skin. Through real conversations, coaching insights, and personal reflections, you'll learn how to listen to your body’s wisdom, rewrite old narratives, and build a life that feels aligned — not just good on paper. Whether you're navigating a transition, feeling stuck, or just starting to ask bigger questions, this is a place for your real self to land. Your body already knows the way. Let's listen.

Creating Space For Our Stories w/Chloe Dulce Louvouezo
Congolese-American writer, mother, and advocate for women Chloe Dulce Louvouezo empowers women of color to move past discomfort to embrace their divine purpose as author of Life, I Swear, in which she explores nuances and insights around intimate topics of identity, mental wellness, and healing, told through the lens of women from the Black diaspora.
Raised by a single mother and a host of other families from across diasporas, Chloe grew up in Niamey, Niger, West Africa and lived in 10 other cities around the world. She has experienced life from a unique lens; one that anchors her conviction to question and explore identity, privilege, connection and healing. Because of this, and as a mother, Chloe champions women's autonomy to live, heal, and process unconventionally.
In this week’s episode, Chloe and host Shanetta McDonald get into:
- Overcoming fear and leaning into vulnerability as writers and artists.
- Owning our identity as multi-faceted women of color.
- Healing from past relationships.
