Your Body Knows
Your Body Knows is a podcast for women who are tired of surviving and ready to create lives that actually feel good to live.
Hosted by intuitive living coach, writer, and veteran publicist Shanetta McDonald, this podcast explores burnout, nervous system regulation, intuition, creativity, and the messy, beautiful work of coming home to yourself.
Through honest conversations, coaching insights, and personal reflections, you'll learn how to stop repeating old patterns, trust your inner wisdom, and build a life that feels more manageable, aligned, and true to who you are.
Whether you're navigating motherhood, a career transition, or simply asking, "Is this really the life I want?" you're in the right place.
Your body already knows the way. Let's listen.

Honoring Every Part of Ourselves with Internal Family Systems Practitioner Crystal Jones

Crystal Jones is a licensed therapist, Internal Family Systems (IFS) Trainer, and the founder of Life Source Counseling Center in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Her work creates sacred spaces where BIPOC women can feel truly seen, valued, and supported on their healing journeys.
As an IFS trainer and consultant, Crystal has mentored therapists and practitioners worldwide, guiding them toward deeper self-awareness and inner harmony. She is also a clinical supervisor, Master Reiki Practitioner, and advocate for holistic healing—integrating tools like prayer, sacred movement, and meditation into her practice.
In our conversation, Crystal and I explore what it means to listen to the parts of ourselves we often silence, the unique power of IFS in BIPOC healing spaces, and how honoring every part of who we are—even the ones we’ve judged or pushed away—can be a revolutionary act of self-love.
