Stop fighting your body
and start trusting it.
If you’ve googled everything, consulted AI more than you’d like to admit, and you’re curious what changes when you listen to your body instead…
See what changes when your body takes the lead!
Here’s what changes
when biology takes the lead.
Chasing smaller loses its grip. Strength becomes the priority.
Looking younger matters less. Resilience takes the lead.
The scale loses its power. Function becomes the measure.
Wellness moves past trends. Signals matter more.
Health stops being managed. It becomes something you live inside.
Quick fixes lose their pull. Long-term capacity takes the lead.
The body gets to join the conversation.
And notice what changes.
Listening to your biology changes how you live in your body. You start moving through your days differently—and with more freedom inside them.
—Paula Marie Davis
First things first, the not so easy part.
No worries though, I am right here with you.
I invite you to listen to what your body
is telling you about the habits you’ve created.
do you hold your breath without realizing it
push through fatigue instead of changing the pace
skipping moving your body because you are “too busy”
stay inside all day and then wonder why your mood dipped
eat late because you didn’t slow down all day
crave sweets when you don’t honor your boundaries
scroll late into the evening instead of preparing for sleep
do you blame hormones and disregard your poor habits
And, now take one simple step forward.
Talk through it with me, out loud, in real time
—on Ditch the Dogma.
So you can:
1. notice what lands in your body,
2. the way you attend to it ,
3. what changes in your life.
On Ditch the Dogma, we talk through what it really looks like to live in a body for the long haul—how strength is built, how food supports life, and how presence happens when you stop performing.
They’re questions I’ve had to live inside —to test, get wrong, and return to— as my body changed. I’m not interested in telling women what to believe—only in paying attention to what holds up when belief, rebellion, and shortcuts stop working.
P.S. I’m building this in real time, because this kind of work can’t be rushed. Plus, I’m learning as I go; and, I want your input, too!
If you see value in where this is going, I’m asking you to take one small action: hit subscribe on the Ditch the Dogma YouTube channel. And, if you’re a real gem, turn on notifications, too. Don’t miss an episode.
It tells the platform this conversation matters —and it encourages me to keep showing up. 🤍
This not NOT about $elling you wellness.
No courses, programs, or expensive 1:1 sessions here.
This is where you slow down and pay attention.
Not to be fixed., optimized, convinced, or sold to.
Everything here is designed purposefully to help you reconnect with your body, notice what is actually happening, and build your own understanding over time.
Some women come here out of curiosity. Some because something in their body is asking for a deeper look. Either way, there’s no funnel waiting for you at the end.
Here’s how the work is organized
Where attention begins.
Where patterns take shape.
What keeps holding up.
Why real life matters.
-
Witnessing is where the work begins—before fixing, forcing, or optimizing anything.
It’s the practice of paying attention to the body as it is, because attention reorganizes behavior long before willpower is required. This is also where I do that work out loud, in real time, on the live show.
-
Field Notes is the deeper dive—the written backbone that grows out of Witness.
This is where observations turn into patterns, patterns turn into understanding, and understanding gets tested over time. It’s slower, more deliberate, and meant to be returned to—not skimmed.
-
The Body Truths emerged from years of witnessing and note-taking, not from trying to create a method.
They’re the patterns that kept holding up across different bodies, ages, and life stages—once attention stayed long enough to see them clearly.
-
Meet Paula and my ongoing work —what I’ve lived, tested, gotten wrong, and chosen to trust, in the past, present, and what’s ahead.
If any of it helps you reconnect with your body and reclaim your own authority, that’s enough —’cause you don’t need another guru.
It’s easier to accept a shortcut than to sit next to a woman who did the work and now moves differently through life—not because she’s better, but because she’s freer.
—Paula Marie Davis
Waiting doesn’t preserve options.
It quietly reduces them.

Why this conversation needs to be heard…
Most wellness spaces feel like they’re trying to convince me of something. This doesn’t. Paula talks about the body the way women actually experience it — complicated, honest, and not for show. That alone makes me trust the conversation.
So much wellness content is designed to lead you somewhere you didn’t ask to go. This isn’t. Paula talks things through without trying to turn it into a sale, and that makes me trust it.
There’s a lot of talk about listening to your body, but very little about what that actually looks like over time. Paula doesn’t pretend it’s instant or easy. She’s honest about the effort, and that makes the work feel possible.
There’s pressure to believe in something fully or you’re doing it wrong. This conversation lets you stay curious without committing your whole identity to a method.
This conversation isn’t here to replace one set of answers with another — it’s here to make room for questions most wellness spaces consistently avoid.
I can’t afford to keep buying things that promise results and don’t explain the tradeoffs. I want to understand my body, not just spend money on it. That’s why this matters to me.
