In this honest and powerful episode of Meet Your Body, Jessica shares important lessons everyone facing surgery should know. Drawing from her experience as a physical therapist — along with her own six major surgeries — she offers practical tips to help you mentally and physically prepare for surgery and recovery.

You’ll hear why you may never feel completely ready for surgery, the importance of becoming an active participant in your own healing, and Jessica’s biggest pet peeve when it comes to the messages many surgeons give their patients about recovery.

Whether you’re preparing for surgery now or supporting someone who is, this episode offers reassurance, practical guidance, and a compassionate perspective on healing, strength, and recovery.
