 When loss hits, your body and brain don’t just feel it — they protect you from it.
That numbness you feel isn’t a sign that you’re broken or grieving wrong. It’s your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do: keep you safe until it’s ready to feel again. 

Does the numbness ever go away? Answer: yes. 

Take a listen to understand why this happens and better understand the numbness.

We’ve all heard “time heals all wounds.” But what if that’s the biggest lie we’ve been told about grief?

In this episode, we unpack why time alone doesn’t heal you — and how your thoughts, beliefs, and choices do.

This one’s for the woman who’s tired of waiting for time to fix what only she can heal.

Today we are talking about guilt in grief. In this episode, we explore the complicated role guilt plays in grief—how it often masks deeper emotions like sadness or helplessness, and why our brains sometimes choose guilt to feel a sense of control.

We’ll cover:

• The difference between guilt and regret
• Why guilt is a secondary emotion
• How to gently reframe self-blaming thoughts
• Three tools to begin shifting the grip guilt has on your healing

💬 You’ll walk away with more clarity—and more compassion for yourself.

Let’s talk about something no one prepares you for: how grief hijacks your brain.

In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening in your brain when you’re grieving — from the fog, the forgetfulness, the exhaustion, to the sleepless nights and emotional overload. This isn’t just “being off your game.” It’s biology. Your brain rewires itself in real-time when it’s trying to survive loss.

I’ll walk you through how areas like the amygdala, hippocampus, and anterior cingulate cortex all shift during grief — and why it makes everything feel harder than it used to.
 If you’ve ever felt like you’re not yourself anymore, like your mind is slipping, this is for you.
 You’re not broken. You’re grieving. And your brain is doing the best it can to carry it.

You’re healing — even when it doesn’t feel like it.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in your grief or wondering if you’re ever going to feel like yourself again, this episode is for you.
 We’re talking about the quiet, hidden ways healing shows up — and how to start seeing it.

I’m also sharing two powerful questions that can shift the way you think about your progress and help you move through this season with more clarity and compassion.

Quick listen. Big perspective shift.
