Grief is not just an emotion. It's a full-body experience — and most of us were never taught how to recognize it, let alone how to move through it.

In this episode of GetGritty, I sit down with Sylvia Wolfer a grounding, eye-opening conversations. Silvia brings both her own lived experience and wisdom to a topic that touches every single one of us. Grief.

What makes this conversation different is where it starts: not with mindset, not with productivity, not with "bouncing back" — but with a story. Sylvia walks us through what grief actually does to us physiologically and neurologically — the responses happening in our nervous system, our brain chemistry, and our physical body that most people never connect to their loss.

Sylvia shares the practical tools she's used and witnessed that help people move from being mastered by their grief to living a life that includes it — fully, honestly, and without having to leave any part of themselves behind.
