There are specific tools that you can use to become embodied... and I’m about to show them to you.I want to talk about why the work of embodiment isn't softness, rose-petal baths, and endless fixation on your trauma. Most women I know are incredibly functional. They get the to-do list done, hold everything together, and then spend the rest of their lives subtly avoiding themselves through scrolling, numbing, resentment, overthinking, or exhaustion.
It’s something I’ve been circling for years through my training with David Deida, Sheila Kelley’s S Factor, and Wendy’s pole work, and it’s the most honest path I’ve found for women who are tired of living disconnected from their own bodies.
I walk you through the framework I use, which I call “the P’s,” and unpack the moment another woman gave me permission to stop shaming myself. Within a single weekend, the chronic tension and self-surveillance I had been carrying for years started dissolving in a way that felt almost biochemical.
There’s also a short breath and movement practice you can follow along with, plus the three inquiry questions I keep returning to, including the one about your own mother that almost nobody wants to answer honestly.
If you’ve been settling, ignoring the little “no,” or numbing through scrolling, this one is for you.

What is Reclamation Radio with Kelly Brogan MD?
It hurts to have unmet needs. And it sucks to scurry after crumbs when you’re starving. Join Kelly Brogan MD, as she teaches us how our pain points are portals. She’ll help you discover a world where every seeming challenge is a new chapter in your most audacious story. Plot twists, body symptoms, and heartbreak each represent an opportunity to own ourselves and learn to better wield the power of choice. Kelly will take you on a reclamation journey from the battlefield of victim consciousness to the sovereignty of self-devoted pleasure and expose every surprising place you’ve given your power away. Explore the tools you’ll need to find out what you want, how to ask for it and how to stand in fierce alignment with yourself.Kelly Brogan is a soul alchemist and threshold guardian devoted to the transformation of collective consciousness. As a young know-it-all atheist, candy-addict, straight-A MIT neuroscience major and Ivy-league trained psychiatrist, she specialized in feeding women, herself included, straight into the mouth of the medicated beast. After a Hashimoto’s healing journey inspired her to sound the alarm on the bait-and-switch of big pharma, she became a renegade activist—authoring the New York Times bestseller, A Mind of Your Own, and its follow-up, Own Your Self; co-editing the landmark textbook, Integrative Therapies for Depression; and eventually becoming an honorary member of the Disinformation Dozen. She is the creatrix of Vital Mind Reset, the online health reclamation program, and the membership community Vital Life Project. She’s a human, cat, and chicken mom.
