Your body is not attacking you. It’s speaking. Are you finally ready to listen?

We weren’t taught to listen.
We were taught to numb, override, suppress.
Be strong.
Smile anyway.
Swallow the scream.
Make it work.

But eventually, the body speaks louder than our conditioning.

For me, it spoke through fibroids.
Through months of bloating, bleeding, and unbearable pain.
I didn’t fully understand at first. But now, I know with certainty:
My womb was holding all the things I couldn’t say out loud.

Where Do Emotions Actually Go When You Don’t Feel Them?

The answer?

Into your body.

Unfelt grief doesn’t vanish… it hardens in your chest.
Suppressed rage doesn’t dissolve… it burrows into your liver.
Shame pools in your gut.
Fear clutches your pelvis.
And the longer these energies stay unacknowledged, the more physical they become.

Pain isn’t always structural.
It’s energetic. Emotional. Ancestral.
It is your soul waving a flare from inside your cells.

A Map of Emotional Storage in the Body

Here’s a guide not just for reference—but for remembrance.
The body you live in is intelligent, ancient, and exact.
It knows precisely where to store the emotions you weren’t ready to face—until now.

📍 Lungs / Chest — Grief, sadness, heartbreak, suppressed tears
📍 Head — Overthinking, unprocessed trauma, pressure to be perfect
📍 Heart Center — Loneliness, betrayal, emotional shutdown, loss
📍 Throat — Repressed truth, fear of speaking out, silenced expression
📍 Solar Plexus / Gut — Shame, powerlessness, fear of failure
📍 Womb / Pelvis — Trauma, sexual wounds, unprocessed feminine pain, unspoken creative dreams
📍 Hips & Legs — Fear of moving forward, generational stagnancy
📍 Feet — Lack of grounding, disconnection from the present moment

The Truth About Fibroids: My Body Wasn’t Broken — It Was Burdened

I developed fibroids during a time of deep internal conflict.
I was in relationship after relationship that required me to constantly suppress my intuition.
I was holding grief, shame, fear, unspoken truth, and ancestral weight in my womb… trying to survive, trying to be “enough,” trying to hold it all together.

And my womb said no more.
It forced me into a reckoning.
A confrontation.
A deep, raw truth that said:

You cannot build a divine life while carrying unhealed weight in the very space that births it.

Pain is a Portal — Not a Punishment

The spiritual lie is that pain means you're not aligned.
The deeper truth is that pain is a signal… a call back to alignment.
To embodiment.
To expression.
To sovereignty.

Your pain is not random.
It’s not weakness.
It’s not failure.

It’s a message in your mother tongue —
the one your soul understands but you may have forgotten how to speak.
