In today’s episode of She Regulates, we’re continuing our 7-day journey through the chakras—but we’re not talking about chakras as some mystical concept disconnected from real life. We’re looking at these energy centers as a way to understand what your body may be communicating to you.

Today, we’re talking about the throat chakra and its connection to communication, truth, expression, authenticity, and the nervous system.

In this episode, we explore how constantly filtering yourself can show up in your body—from jaw and neck tension and tight shoulders to changes in your breathing, headaches, and that familiar feeling of carrying something you haven’t expressed.

We also talk about the importance of noticing patterns instead of immediately assuming every physical symptom has one specific emotional cause. Your body is constantly giving you information. The question is: are you paying attention?

And because authenticity isn’t just something you think about—it’s something your body has to feel safe enough to live—we’ll talk about what it actually means to move through old experiences without constantly reliving them.

Plus, I give you a simple throat-opening somatic practice you can try at home. It may look ridiculous, but I promise… your jaw might thank you. 😂

Ask yourself:

Where am I not expressing myself?
Where am I editing myself?
Where am I pretending to be okay?
Where am I saying yes when my entire body is screaming no?
And where have I become someone I don’t even recognize anymore?

Your body remembers.

Maybe it’s time to listen.

And tomorrow, we continue the chakra journey with the Third Eye Chakra—intuition, perception, and that knowing you can’t always explain.
