In this powerful episode of the Zero Disturbance Podcast, we dive into a transformational topic: women and urges—and how honoring our body's messages can radically shift how we live, love, and lead.

We explore why so many women are disconnected from their intuition, bodies, and desires, often due to lifelong social conditioning, trauma, and internalized shame. Through the lens of EMDR therapy and somatic healing, Kambria Evans shares how recognizing and following a “full-body yes” (and saying no to a “full-body no”) can become a revolutionary act of self-love.

• The importance of somatic awareness and listening to your body's urges
• How EMDR therapy can help process and play out suppressed parts safely
• The role of trauma, societal programming, and patriarchal norms in urge repression
• Why midlife can spark a crisis—or awakening—of long-ignored parts of self
• The difference between reactive choices and intentional decisions around urges
• How urge exploration can reduce burnout, autoimmune issues, and chronic stress
• A step-by-step invitation for therapists and non-therapists to practice urge awareness

Whether you're a therapist, a woman in midlife, or someone exploring deeper emotional work, this episode will validate your inner knowing and help you return to the wisdom of your body.

Your urges aren’t problems—they're messages. What happens if you actually listen?
