How To Heal When Time Is Not Enough, with Pearly Montagu

Send us Fan Mail Grief is often treated like a tunnel you crawl through until you reach “normal” again. We don’t buy that story. When loss hits, something real happens in the body, the mind, and the way you make meaning and if you ignore those layers, time alone won’t necessarily heal you.  I’m joined by health and wellness advocate  Pearly Montagu, who shares how her own grief and healing journey turned into a deep commitment to helping others transform pain into purpose. We talk about surrender as a day to day practice, why trauma can feel stored in the nervous system, and how modern life has stripped away the rituals that once helped communities process sorrow. We also name a quiet reality many people live with: being surrounded by love while still feeling deeply misunderstood.  From there, we get practical. We dig into mental health tools that are simple, accessible, and surprisingly powerful: exercise to shift your physiological state, gratitude practices in the morning and at night, cold exposure for resilience, and small somatic resets like shaking out the body. We also touch on gut health, nutrition, and taking agency in a food system that doesn’t always prioritise wellbeing, plus why community support matters so much when healing feels nonlinear.  If you’re carrying grief, anxiety, or lingering trauma and you’re worried you’re “doing it wrong,” this conversation offers both perspective and grounded next steps.
