Today I'm sitting down with Jessica Maguire, a Grief and Nervous System Expert, to explore the powerful link between grief, trauma, and the nervous system.
Together we dive into how grief is stored in the body, why our nervous system responds the way it does after loss, and how to begin healing trauma and regulating your body through mindful awareness and connection.
Jessica opens up about her own story of loss (in particular, her brother to suicide), and how it inspired her work in nervous system education and trauma recovery.
You’ll learn:
✨ How trauma is held and expressed through the body
✨ Simple, practical tools for nervous system regulation during grief
✨ The role of community and co-regulation in emotional healing
✨ Why understanding your body is key to processing grief and even chronic pain
If you’ve ever wondered why grief feels so physical or how to truly support your body while healing your heart, this episode will speak to your soul!
