In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, Heather McKean delves into the emotional drivers behind sciatica, revealing its deeper connection to unresolved traumas and dissociated feelings. While sciatica is often linked to physical causes like herniated discs or posture issues, Heather explains how it can also signify emotional pain, suppressed creativity, unmet support needs, and childhood criticism.

Discover how financial fears, resentment, and a sense of being misunderstood can perpetuate sciatic pain, and learn how the body uses pain to signal the need for change. Heather shares insights on decoding these messages, confronting limiting beliefs, and rewriting subconscious programming to break free from cycles of physical and emotional discomfort. Ready to unlock the deeper meaning of your pain and begin healing? Tune in to reclaim your power and transform your relationship with sciatica!
