A Monday Moment with Dr. Mal

In this week’s A Monday Moment with Dr. Mal, I’m diving into one of the most powerful truths we often overlook—the body is the medicine. Our bodies hold every story, every joy, every wound. When trauma lingers, it doesn’t just live in our minds—it takes up space in our muscles, breath, and bones. In this episode, I’ll share how somatic practices, mindful movement, and simple awareness can help you release what’s been stored and return home to yourself. It’s time to listen to your body’s wisdom and let healing flow through every part of you.
