Your body keeps score. And if you don\\u2019t learn ways to release trauma from your body \\u2013 whether it\\u2019s from death or the loss of anything else \\u2013 this can lead to chronic stress, decreased immune function, difficulty in regulating metabolism, weight gain, and even contribute to cancer, heart disease, and other chronic health problems.

But, we\\u2019re not taught to navigate grief in our culture. How do we properly heal, balance, and reset our nervous systems? In this episode, JJ talks with Dr. Sherry Walling, a clinical psychologist, speaker, podcaster, author, and mental health advocate. Dr. Walling was catapulted into the world of grief and darkness after she lost her dad to cancer and her brother to alcohol addiction and depression. She needed to find a way to honor the grief and loss, while also staying in the fullness and beauty of life.

In our culture, we\\u2019re taught to numb out or to get back up and go on with our lives. But we need to learn to grieve better because time doesn\\u2019t heal all wounds. \\u201cIf we don\'t actively grieve, we\'re going to passively grieve,\\u201d says Dr. Walling. \\u201cAnd that creates a lot of complication for us in our body\'s systems.\\u201d

Dr. Walling starts with the simplest place to start navigating grief. Then, she moves into deeper ways to move through our grief actively. When you do address your grief, it can lead to amazing shifts in your physical, mental, and emotional health \\u2013 and we\\u2019re all navigating some type (or types) of grief in our lives. Don\\u2019t miss this empowering, uplifting conversation that we all need to hear!
