What if the real breakthrough in your healing is not another protocol, but changing the way you relate to your own body? Elizabeth Endres Orrigo, host of The Wellness Process Podcast, is here to talk about what it truly looks like to move from fighting your body to working with it. She shares her experience navigating chronic pain, high achievement, and wellness culture, along with the nervous system and emotional tools that helped her shift out of survival. Britt and Elizabeth explore how healing your relationship with yourself reshapes your relationships with others, the subtle traps in modern wellness that keep us striving, and the hard-earned lessons from seasons when your body feels like the enemy. If you are exhausted from trying harder and still feeling stuck, tune in for a grounded conversation that will help you approach healing in a way that creates real, lasting change.

Have you ever found yourself shrinking, overgiving, or saying yes when every part of you wanted to say no, then wondering why you feel disconnected or resentful in your relationships? In this episode, Britt Piper explores the roots of self-abandonment through a nervous system and attachment lens, offering a compassionate reframe for patterns that are often met with shame. She unpacks how these responses once served as protection, why awareness alone doesn’t change them, and how healing begins by learning to stay with yourself in moments of discomfort rather than overriding your truth. This conversation is a gentle reminder that your patterns make sense, your body is wise, and with patience and support, it is possible to build relationships that don’t require you to leave yourself behind.

This one’s all about pregnancy, birth, and parenting through a nervous system lens, especially if you’ve noticed old symptoms resurfacing or wondered why this season feels more activating than expected.

In this episode, Britt Piper answers listener questions with honesty and reassurance, explaining how pregnancy heightens interoception, brings early attachment layers online, and reduces the protective filters that once kept certain patterns quiet, without meaning you’re regressing or doing healing wrong. She shares her personal unmedicated birth experiences, reflecting on how safety, fear, dissociation, and nervous system support shaped two very different labors, and why physiological birth is deeply relational rather than mechanical.

Britt also explores co-regulation, co-sleeping, and parenting while working with your own triggers, reminding us that children don’t need perfect regulation, they need presence and repair. If you’re pregnant, parenting, or healing alongside either, this conversation offers steady reassurance that your body is wise, your responses make sense, and you are capable of meeting this season with softness, trust, and care.

Feeling stuck can quietly convince you that something is wrong with you, especially when you’ve done the work, gained the insight, and still find yourself looping in the same patterns. In this episode, Britt Piper reframes “being stuck” as a nervous system state rooted in protection rather than a lack of effort or clarity. She unpacks how early attachment and survival adaptations shape the patterns we repeat, why the nervous system prioritizes predictability over possibility, and how insight alone rarely creates lasting change. Britt also explores how the body learns through experience, what it actually takes to update old survival responses, and why compassion and safety are essential for real healing. The episode closes with a guided somatic practice designed to help you gently interrupt these loops, build tolerance for discomfort, and create small moments of safety where new choices can emerge. This is an invitation to move at the pace of your body, trust what has been protecting you, and remember that change is possible when your nervous system feels supported.

In this episode, Britt offers a grounded and experiential guide to somatic resourcing and how the nervous system learns to recognize safety again through lived, felt experience. She breaks down neuroception, the body’s subconscious way of detecting safety and threat, and introduces glimmers as subtle moments that signal connection, regulation, and relief. Through gentle explanation and a guided somatic practice, Britt explores the three different types of resourcing and supports you in identifying which ones feel safest and most accessible for your nervous system right now. This somatic practice episode is meant to be experienced slowly, helping you build trust with your body and reinforcing that your capacity for healing grows through small, supportive moments of safety.

Many people believe that if they can’t clearly explain what happened to them, then maybe it wasn’t really trauma, or maybe they’re just being dramatic. In this episode, Britt Piper breaks down why that belief is a misconception, and how trauma is often stored in the body as a physiological response rather than a coherent memory. She explains the science behind how the brain and nervous system function under threat, why memory and language can go offline, and how symptoms like anxiety without a clear cause, shutdown in conflict, chronic urgency, or feeling “too sensitive” are often signs of survival, not exaggeration. Britt speaks directly to the common inner questions of “Did I experience trauma?” and “Can I heal something I can’t explain?” offering clarity, education, and reassurance. This conversation reframes doubt as a nervous system response, not a personal failure, and reminds listeners that healing does not require a perfect story, only a willingness to work with what the body is already communicating.

In this listener Q&A episode, Britt gently explores how somatic work can support depression, perimenopausal shifts, nighttime anxiety, the constant sense of urgency that so many people live with, and parents navigating daily triggers. Britt speaks to what depression really is from a nervous system perspective and how to meet ourselves with compassion, what to do if you find anxiety creeping up at night, and how to heal a chronic sense of urgency that robs your peace and presence. This conversation offers reassurance, practical somatic tools, and a reminder that regulation is not about doing more, but about creating enough safety for your system to settle. No matter where you’re starting from, your body is capable of change, and small, compassionate steps truly do add up to meaningful healing.

Manifestation isn’t just about mindset, visualization, or wanting something badly enough. It’s about whether your nervous system feels safe enough to receive what you’re asking for.

In this episode, Britt breaks down how dysregulation shows up as urgency, people-pleasing, or chasing outcomes that are not actually aligned, and why no amount of mindset work can override a body that does not feel safe. She shares seven practical somatic tools designed to expand nervous system capacity, deepen self-connection, reconnect you to genuine desire, and soften the grip of fear-based striving.

Rather than focusing on visualization or control, this conversation centers on learning how to settle the body, track what feels supportive, and create from a place of internal steadiness. Tune in for somatic insight on how to really create what you want in 2026!
