Make Some Noise with Andrea Owen

Episode 652: Trauma, Surviving, and Living Well with Jessica Graham


Listen Later

I’m thrilled to welcome back Jessica Graham, an incredible author, trauma expert, and meditation teacher, to talk about their brand-new book, Being (Sick) Enough: Thoughts on Invisible Illness, Childhood Trauma, and Living Well When Surviving is Hard. If you’ve ever felt the weight of trauma, chronic illness, or just navigating life in a challenging world, Jessica’s wisdom will resonate deeply.

In this conversation, we explore the complexities of healing, mindfulness, and finding balance in a world that often feels overwhelming. After listening, my hope is that you’ll walk away with not only a better understanding of the connection between trauma and physical health but also actionable insights for living well—even when surviving feels hard.

What you’ll hear:

  • What sparked Jessica’s new book and how it supports those navigating trauma and chronic illness (17:52)
  • Why we often need science to trust ourselves and what that reveals about healing (21:29)
  • The science of “limbic resonance” and how rewiring our attachment systems can transform relationships and choices (26:48)
  • How mindfulness isn’t a one-size-fits-all practice (31:59)
  • Jessica’s journey of coming out as nonbinary and finding healing through alignment (37:27)
  • Strategies for living well in a world full of political, environmental, and societal challenges (48:55)
  • Plus, a coaching episode update on Christina about getting out of her comfort zone! (58:11)
