The Workwomb Podcast Ep. 37 💪 Doing Hard Things on Purpose: Fear, Intuition & the Truth About ‘Doing the Work’ with Shantani Moore
Our bodies are always speaking to us, but most of us were never taught how to listen.
Instead, we’re taught to numb, push through, perform, optimize, transcend, and “be productive.” We try to think our way out of fear. We try to affirm our way out of dysregulation. We try to logic our way into clarity.
But what if the clarity, the courage, the creativity, the capacity you’re craving… is already living in your body?
This conversation with Shantani Moore — Body Intelligence Coach and nervous system expert — is one of the most energizing, truth-telling, paradigm-shifting episodes we’ve ever had on the pod. She’s funny, brilliant, wildly compassionate, and refreshingly honest about what “doing the work” really means (and what it absolutely doesn’t).
We talk about the difference between intuition and instinct, how to relate to hard things without collapsing, why anxiety might actually be your secret weapon, and what happens when the wellness industry turns healing into performance.
We dive into:
- How our bodies communicate with us — and why most creatives are ignoring 90% of the data
- Intuition vs. instinct: the biggest misconception and how to tell which one is actually speaking
- The truth about “doing the work,” and how to know when you’re performing your healing instead of living it
- Expanding your capacity for the unknown: nervous system training, hard conversations, and holding the frame
- Why anxiety can be a competitive advantage (and how to leverage it instead of numbing)
If you’ve ever wondered…
“Is this fear… or is this my intuition?”
“Why do I keep abandoning myself?”
“Why does success still feel stressful?”
“Why do I look regulated but feel like chaos inside?”
…this one’s going to land deep.
Shantani is the real deal — and I know you’re going to love her.
