S2/Ep2 Overcoming Grief, Navigating Life Transitions & Turning Pain Into Purpose with Jess Toomey

CHANGE. Whether we love it or hate it, many of us don’t know how to navigate transitional seasons of life. Maybe we struggle with accepting the inevitable shifts that arise. Maybe we’re clinging tight to “the way things used to be”. Or maybe we’re so overwhelmed with all of the feelings, emotions and sensations of it all that we don’t know how to get through the process. Jessica Toomey, Holistic Health & Wellness Coach & Founder of The Whole Pursuit, joins me on the pod today to share her personal (and deeply inspiring) journey of overcoming some of the deepest seasons of change in her life — the loss of her father and the loss of her former identity in becoming a new mom. We dive into the topic of grief, how it cracked Jessica wide open, and how it unexpectedly connected her to her present day work in the world — now supporting her clients on their own personal journeys of change. A beautiful example of someone leveraging their pain into purpose, Jessica’s story is one you don’t want to miss friends!Topics Discussed:• Why health is way more than just food, fitness and the physical• Jess’ journey with grief after losing her father• How Jess turned her pain into purpose• Navigating massive seasons of change when becoming a parent• The major identity shifts and “deaths” that occur for women during motherhood and postpartum• The value of coaching & support in both our personal & professional lives• Why little things & small habits go a long way during seasons of change• The power of awareness and why it’s key to healing• Why you can’t force people to change, you can only plant “seeds”Connect with JessWebsite: thewholepursuitcoach.comInstagram: @the_whole_pursuitSupport and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.
