After the Bell with Dillon

The body says no when you don't want to

Dillon Murugan

In this episode, I dive into the powerful lessons from Dr. Gabor Maté’s book When the Body Says No — a deep look into how stress, trauma, and emotional suppression don’t just affect the mind, but actually show up in the body.

We explore how the habits we learn from a young age — like people-pleasing, saying yes when we mean no, or bottling up anger — can lead to burnout, chronic illness, and emotional numbness. This is about more than just physical health; it’s about listening to what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, disconnected, or like your body is running the show when your mind is saying "I'm fine" — this one’s for you.
