05/10/2026 | 54 mins.Chris & Filly are joined with Lynn Morgan, a beautiful soul who attended our first retreat - The Body Knows. Lynn opens up about her retreat experience - how her body was screaming at her with aches and pains, digestive issues and mast cell eruptions, and how listening to her heart and creating a felt safety in the body has made all the difference.
These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so incredibly grateful to the gorgeous Lynn, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.

In this episode, Lynn chats to Chris & Filly about:
How her body was screaming at her at the start of this year with exhaustion, aches and pains and mast cell and SIBO flare ups
Following her heart and a deeper knowing -why she said no to a Fiji family trip (even though it didn’t make sense), to months later booking in to The Body Knows retreat on the same weekend
The moment she realised her health issues were connected to unprocessed grief
How during the retreat was the first time in her life she felt safe in her body - and how that safeness has carried through into every day life
Dancing, skipping and feeling safe to be seen - I AM important! - and how this has shifted where her business and gifts are going

What if part of the problem is that you've become really, really good at overriding yourself?
In this episode, Chris & Filly explore the connection between intuition, the brain and body burnout - and why learning to listen to yourself is THE KEY to healing.
In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about:
What we actually mean by “intuition” — and how it’s different from fear or anxiety
How we learn to override our own knowing
The everyday ways we disconnect from what our body is telling us
Why repeatedly overriding ourselves can become a deeply ingrained brain/body pattern
Why slowing down and creating space can help us hear ourselves again
Why listening to your intuition is only part of the process — and why rewiring old patterns matters too
Where in your life are you already knowing... but not listening

Meeting her inner teen and giving her inner teen permission to stop doing and achieving, and allowing her to rest and be and potter and create beautiful things, for the sake of creating beautiful things
Waking up with a migraine on Day 2 of the retreat, as the ultimate pressure test to just be
The neuroscience around communal singing, and what happens at an energetic and spiritual level when we sing together to heal
Crafting a sound bath experience for deep grounding, safety and regulation
