In this heartfelt episode, we dive into the often uncharted waters of grief with the incredible Meghan Riordan Jarvis. As a trauma-trained psychotherapist and TEDx speaker, Meghan joins us to uncover the hidden layers of grief that many of us don't recognize. Spoiler alert: it's not just about tears and sadness. We explore how grief can sneakily manifest in our bodies as physical ailments or even mimic depression.

Join us as we journey with Meghan, who shares her personal experiences and expert insights on processing grief instead of letting it simmer under the surface. You'll learn why acknowledging grief as an energy that needs to be expressed, not suppressed, is crucial. Meghan and I discuss practical strategies for emotional healing through movement, nourishment, and connection. Plus, we touch on those pesky feelings of guilt and regret that can hold us back.
