The Grieving Body: Our Nervous System Responses to Loss with Meghan Riordan Jarvis Part 2

The Grief Gang

In this insightful part 2 episode, I'm deep diving into the intersections between grief and the nervous system with my friend Meghan Riordan Jarvis, a renowned grief therapist and trauma expert. Together, we explore how our bodies react to loss and how understanding the nervous system can empower us to navigate grief with self-compassion. Meghan shares practical approaches, including vagal toning techniques and her signature Six Mentor Methods (keep your eyes peeled for this!), to support nervous system health throughout the grieving process. We also answer questions from you, The Grief Gang listeners, addressing your experiences and concerns about how grief impacts your well-being and nervous systems.

If this episode landed with you, I'm excited to share that Meghan and I are cooking something up off the back of your wonderful feedback to our episodes. This will be a workshop hosted by me and Meghan , where we’ll take a deeper dive into understanding and tending to grief through nervous system support. This workshop will cover hands-on strategies for managing grief’s impact on the body and exclusive insights into Meghan’s Six Mentor Methods.

This workshop will be taking place in the 2025 New Year, but we wanted to get the word out nice and early to gauge interest. So if this sounds up your alley, be sure to register your interest below to receive early access and updates about this incredible workshop!
