Your Body isn’t Broken — It’s Been Negotiating With Your Nervous System!

Your Body Isn’t Broken!  It’s Been Negotiating With Your Nervous System!

Somewhere along the way, many women were sold the idea that if their body wasn’t responding the way they wanted, it must be because they weren’t trying hard enough.

Not disciplined enough.
Not consistent enough.
Not motivated enough

So they tried again.
And again.
And again.

New plans. New rules. New promises made on a Sunday night.

But here’s the truth most people never tell you:

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s been negotiating with your nervous system.

When your nervous system doesn’t feel safe, the body does what bodies are designed to do: it protects.

It holds on.
It resists change.
It conserves energy.
It stays alert.

Not because it’s stubborn or failing, but because it’s responding intelligently to stress, pressure, and threat,  even when those threats are emotional rather than physical.

This is why willpower eventually collapses and why discipline turns into exhaustion.
This is why “starting again on Monday” becomes a familiar loop. and not because you lack motivation, but because your system is tired of being pushed.

For many women, the body has spent years being treated like a project. Something to manage, control, fix, or improve. And while that approach might work in the short term, it comes at a cost.

• Constant self-monitoring.
  Chronic tension.
  A low-level sense of “I’m not quite there yet.”

The body feels that.

When you’re constantly negotiating your worth, your nervous system stays on alert. When you’re living under pressure, comparison, or self-criticism, your body doesn’t relax into change; it braces against it.

And here’s the part that often brings relief when it finally lands:

The body doesn’t respond to force.  It responds to safety. Let that land!!

Safety isn’t laziness. It’s not giving up, and it’s definitely not “letting yourself go”.

Safety is what allows regulation, and regulation is what allows trust.
And trust is what allows change that actually sticks.

When the nervous system softens, the body follows. Your relationship with food begins to shift,  not because you’re following rules, but because you’re listening. Movement becomes intuitive rather than punishing. Rest stops feeling like failure and starts feeling necessary.

That’s not magic. That’s biology and self-respect finally meeting.

This is why the work I do is soul-led, not diet-led. Because when you reconnect to yourself, to your inner guidance, your body wisdom, your sense of worth, the external behaviours reorganise naturally.

You stop fighting yourself, and suddenly, things move.

This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering the woman who existed before everything became a problem to solve. The woman who trusted herself. The woman who didn’t need constant correction.

Your inner DIVA.?

She was never broken.
She was just tired of being overruled.

When you stop treating your body like the enemy and start relating to it as an ally, something profound happens: the negotiation ends, the body exhales, and change begins,  quietly, powerfully, from the inside.

Always.

This way of relating to the body is the foundation of DIVALIGN and my 1:1 coaching. No pressure. Just an invitation, if and when you’re ready.
