In this episode, I sit down with Jillene Gallatin, a grief and loss coach and yoga instructor, to explore the power of movement and mindfulness in healing. Jillene shares her deeply personal story of losing her mother to suicide at just 14 years old and how she struggled with isolation in a world that didn’t talk about grief. She opens up about her journey to becoming a pastor, discovering yoga, and ultimately creating Grounded Love for Grief and Loss to help others process their pain through grief yoga and coaching.

Together, we discuss how grief is stored in the body, why releasing emotions is essential, and how yoga can offer a safe and supportive way to reconnect with yourself after loss. Whether you're navigating the pain of losing a loved one, struggling with emotions that feel stuck, or simply looking for new ways to support your healing journey, this conversation is for you.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Jillene’s experience with grief after her mother’s suicide and how it shaped her life
• The lack of grief support and resources, especially for teens and suicide loss survivors
• How grief yoga differs from traditional yoga and why movement helps release emotions
• Why grief stays in the body and how recognizing where you hold pain can be a step toward healing
• The difference between grief coaching and therapy, and how each serves a unique purpose
• The importance of allowing yourself to grieve in your own time, despite societal expectations

We dive into one of the heaviest parts of grief after losing a baby: the relentless 'What Ifs.' What if I had gone to the hospital sooner? What if I had rested more? What if I had done something differently? These thoughts are not just fleeting—they become stones we carry, weighing us down day and night.

Jennifer Senn shares personal insights, compassionate advice, and practical tools to help soften these thoughts and begin to set them down, one by one. You'll learn how guilt is often a reflection of love, not failure, and how letting go of guilt doesn’t mean letting go of your baby.

Whether you're in the depths of these thoughts or supporting someone who is, this episode offers gentle encouragement and hope.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why guilt and self-blame are so common after baby loss.
• How guilt is often a reflection of love, not proof of failure.
• The ‘backpack of guilt’ metaphor and how to begin letting go, one rock at a time.
• Practical tools for easing guilt, including grounding techniques, mantras, and journaling.
• Why healing doesn’t mean forgetting your baby—it means making space for love and peace to coexist.

Mantra to Remember: "I did the best I could with what I knew then."

Remember, letting go of guilt doesn’t mean letting go of your baby—it means giving yourself permission to heal. You deserve peace, rest, and love, and your baby would want that for you, too.
