Your Body Knows
Your Body Knows is a podcast for women who are tired of surviving and ready to create lives that actually feel good to live.
Hosted by intuitive living coach, writer, and veteran publicist Shanetta McDonald, this podcast explores burnout, nervous system regulation, intuition, creativity, and the messy, beautiful work of coming home to yourself.
Through honest conversations, coaching insights, and personal reflections, you'll learn how to stop repeating old patterns, trust your inner wisdom, and build a life that feels more manageable, aligned, and true to who you are.
Whether you're navigating motherhood, a career transition, or simply asking, "Is this really the life I want?" you're in the right place.
Your body already knows the way. Let's listen.

How To Navigate Food & Family During the Holidays
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The holidays can bring up a lot. Food overwhelm, family dynamics, old wounds, and the pressure to be “on” when our bodies are asking for something entirely different. In this episode, I’m sharing my honest experience with holiday gatherings growing up, how Thanksgiving became especially difficult during my eating disorder, and why the season still feels complicated for me today — especially being estranged from my parents and living far from my family.
Whether you love holiday gatherings or dread them, this conversation offers grounded ways to move through the season with more agency and nervous-system peace. I walk you through practical tools to help you support yourself around food, family, and social expectations — from envisioning your ideal holiday, to setting a plan before you walk into a gathering, to honoring your “no” without guilt.
