FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup _____ What if your “motivation problem” has nothing to do with discipline? In this episode, Tracy sits down with Liz Tenuto, better known as The Workout Witch, to talk about the body, trauma, neurodivergence, and why so many ADHD women feel stuck even when they know exactly what they need to do. Liz’s work focuses on somatic healing, using small, accessible movements to help the nervous system release stress and come out of survival mode. But this conversation goes far beyond movement. Liz and Tracy talk about what happens when a body has spent years bracing, masking, people-pleasing, and trying to stay safe. They get into CPTSD, ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, functional freeze, and the difference between pushing through and actually feeling regulated enough to act. Liz also shares how her own diagnoses helped her understand parts of herself she had spent years trying to explain away. This episode is for anyone who has ever looked at their life and thought, “I know what to do, so why can’t I do it?” Because the answer isn’t always more motivation. Sometimes, the first step is helping your body feel safe enough to move.
