What if your symptoms weren’t random but sacred signals from a nervous system that finally feels safe?

In this episode of Embody This – The No B.S. Healing Podcast, Lauren sits down with trauma-informed somatic coach Jakob Gricar for a raw, soul-deep conversation on what it actually takes to heal—emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

From nervous system dysregulation and love addiction to plant medicine, microdosing, and identity collapse—Jakob brings lived experience, not just credentials. His story mirrors so much of Lauren’s own, and together they explore the real, embodied path of healing beyond the books, beyond the hacks, and beyond the ego.

🔥 In this episode, we dive into:

• How unresolved trauma shows up as skin flares, gut issues, and anxiety
• Why symptoms often worsen when your body finally feels safe
• Love addiction, hyper-independence, and nervous system imprinting
• Plant medicine, microdosing, and the importance of integration
• What it means to stop fixing and start feeling

If you’ve been doing all the right things—therapy, supplements, inner work—but still feel stuck, this episode is your mirror.

This isn’t a conversation about healing. This is healing.
