Why you feel stuck in your life
Rebecca Hanscombe on stored emotions, body wisdom and the ath back to yourself
Many people today are doing everything "right" on paper.
They work hard. They stay productive. They try to think positively. They read books, listen to podcasts and search for answers. And yet… something still feels off.
They feel stuck.
Overwhelmed.
Disconnected from themselves.
Tired in a way that sleep does not solve.
What if the real reason is not in the mind alone? What if the body has been carrying what the mind has learned to ignore?
In this new episode of Jana Talk, Jana Nová welcomes Rebecca Hanscombe — shamanic practitioner and founder of the School of Ecstatic Movement. Rebecca helps people reconnect with themselves through movement, emotional awareness and the intelligence of the body.
Her message is both simple and powerful:
The body remembers what the mind tries to forget - trauma is stuck in the body
Unprocessed emotions, long-term stress, grief, fear, shame or years of self-suppression do not simply disappear. Very often, they remain stored in the body — as tension, exhaustion, anxiety, numbness or a constant sense that something is missing.
This conversation explores a question many people secretly ask themselves:
Why do I still feel stuck, even when I've tried so many things?
Rebecca shares why healing is not always about thinking more, analyzing more or "fixing yourself." Sometimes, the real shift begins when we slow down enough to listen to what the body has been trying to say for years.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why so many people feel overwhelmed in modern life
- What stored emotions in the body can look like in real life
- Why overthinking often keeps us trapped
- How movement can help process emotions without words
- Why control can block healing and freedom
- How to reconnect with your body safely and gently
- Practical ways to feel calmer, lighter and more alive again
Rebecca's approach is grounded, human and deeply relatable. She does not speak about perfection. She speaks about reconnection.
About returning to yourself.
About remembering that your body is not the enemy — it may be the guide you've been missing.
If you've been feeling emotionally tired, mentally overloaded or disconnected from joy, this episode may bring a completely new perspective.
Sometimes the next step is not to push harder.
Sometimes the next step is to feel.
