Episode 29: When the Body Speaks Louder Than Words: Embodiment, Grief, and Inner Knowing Tassin Joy
💫Episode 29: When the Body Speaks Louder Than Words: Embodiment, Grief, and Inner Knowing Tassin Joy
In this deeply moving episode of Collective Guidance, Charla Goodnight sits down with embodiment mentor, healer, and retreat facilitator Tassin Joy for an honest, soul-centered conversation about grief, boundaries, and the profound intelligence of the body.
Tassin shares how the early loss of her father shaped her compassion and sensitivity, and how her lifelong relationship with nature continues to ground her healing work. The conversation takes a powerful turn as she recounts listening to her body during one of the most difficult moments of her life—supporting her sister through terminal illness while honoring her own emotional and energetic boundaries.
Through stories of grief, somatic awareness, and inner trust, Tassin illustrates how the body communicates through sensation, pain, and even illness when something within us is not aligned. She explains how embodiment practices—movement, breath, ritual, and intuitive listening—can help us process emotions that the mind alone cannot resolve.
This episode also explores:
How grief lives in the body and why suppression leads to physical pain
The difference between fear-based thoughts and true inner knowing
Why honoring your boundaries is an act of self-trust, not abandonment
How awareness is the first step to healing and transformation
The importance of speaking our truth so we don’t carry it alone
Tassin reminds us that the enemy is not outside of us—it’s the beliefs we hold about ourselves. By learning to question our thoughts, listen to our bodies, and return to the heart, we reclaim our power and remember that we are never truly alone.
This episode is a gentle yet powerful invitation to slow down, tune inward, and trust the wisdom already living within you.
