Jackie Shea ON: how chronic illness and trauma reshaped her connection to herself, her body, and her boundaries.
Jackie is a wife, mother to two toddlers, and a trauma-informed life, health, and business coach, writer, and speaker.We talk about healing beyond productivity, mothering while tending your nervous system, and the surprising ways your body might be asking for a different kind of intimacy: one that starts with you.
3 Key Takeaways:
- Saying No Can Be Intimate: Boundaries aren’t rejection, they’re an invitation to deeper honesty, presence, and trust. How saying “no” became one of the most intimate, pleasurable things she could do.
- The Body Keeps Score, but It Also Keeps Wisdom: Chronic illness teaches us to slow down, listen differently, and ask what our bodies have been trying to say all along.
- You Can't Pour from a Leaky Nervous System: Whether you’re a parent, entrepreneur, or healer, your capacity to serve starts with how you care for your own body and energy.
