About this Podcast:
Dear Body, I'm Listening is the podcast for women living with chronic pain, mysterious symptoms, and invisible illness. Hosted by movement therapist, Pilates instructor, and chronic illness navigator Donna Piper, this show is a sanctuary for those who've tried everything, felt dismissed, and are still searching for answers.If you've ever felt like your body is speaking a language no one else understands—you're not crazy, and you're not alone. In this space, nothing is off the table. We talk openly about swelling, fatigue, brain fog, body shame, and more. We go beyond diagnosis to explore what may be worth investigating—and more importantly, how to reconnect with yourself in the process.Through somatic spirituality, movement, and truth-telling, Donna offers support, insight, and hope. Because healing isn't linear, and neither are we.
