In this new and improved episode of The Body Grievers Club, Bri introduces one of the most important concepts in her work, Unavoidable Body Grief.

She breaks down what it really means to live in a body that experiences pain, judgment, or inaccessibility and why avoiding those experiences doesn’t actually protect you from them. Through honest storytelling and clinical insight, Bri shares her own healing journey, from restrictive dieting and self-blame to radical body acceptance and self-trust.

You’ll learn why the healing process is rarely sexy, how to meet your nervous system where it is, and what it looks like to build a relationship with your body rooted in compassion instead of control.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting for your life to start until your body changes, this episode is the reminder you need.
