89. The Mind-Body Connection in Grief

Grief lives in the body, not just the mind.    This body-mind connection affects ambitious women deeply, especially in our leadership. When grief hit during an enormous project, I couldn't think clearly, be creative, or connect with people. The physical manifestations weren't just personal discomfort; they diminished my capacity to lead effectively. Most of us try to power through grief mentally while ignoring how our bodies are keeping score.   In this episode, I explore how our bodies process different types of grief and share practical approaches that begin with the body rather than just the mind. I'll walk you through why simple movement like walking outdoors helps your brain process difficult emotions better than talk therapy alone.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://sandylinda.com/89
