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.
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
Talk through it with me, out loud, in real time,
on Ditch the Dogma.
Ditch the Dogma is a conversation for women about living in our bodies
—for decades, not just seasons.
Real Strength.
Say goodbye to chasing skinny fat.
Food that actually supports life.
Without food rules.
Recovery that builds capacity.
Beyond just comfort.
Presence that shows up naturally.
No more performing.
P.S. I’m building this in real time, and this kind of work can’t be rushed. If you see value in where this is going, hit subscribe and join us.
It tells the platform this conversation matters —and it encourages me to keep showing up. 🤍
Waiting doesn’t preserve options.
It quietly reduces them.
WEDNESDAYS AT 12:00 CT
Ready to get started?
Here’s how this site works:
Everything here is designed to help you reconnect with your body,
notice what’s actually happening,
and build understanding over time.
STEP #1
Learn the signals women are taught to ignore and why they matter.
What keeps holding up.
STEP #2
Build awareness through real-life conversations each week.
Where attention begins.
STEP #3
Go beyond listening and move past inspiration to understanding.
Where patterns take shape.
STEP #4
Meet Paula, not because she has the answers, but to trust your own
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.
And, just so we are clear…
I am not here to sell you wellness.
Ditch the Dogma is a place to slow down and pay attention to your body, the choices you make, the habits you build, and the life you are actually living.
I am not here to fix you or convince you of anything.
This work is not a funnel.
Not a sales pitch.
It’s something I was born to create and share.
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
Why they come back…
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.
