Your Body Knows is a podcast for Black and brown women who want to get unstuck, find their voices, and become visible without apology. Hosted by somatic life coach, writer and veteran publicist Shanetta McDonald, this podcast explores the messy, beautiful work of healing, self-trust, and becoming at home in your own skin. Through real conversations, coaching insights, and personal reflections, you'll learn how to listen to your body’s wisdom, rewrite old narratives, and build a life that feels aligned — not just good on paper. Whether you're navigating a transition, feeling stuck, or just starting to ask bigger questions, this is a place for your real self to land. Your body already knows the way. Let's listen.
