Grief is not just emotional. It is biological. In this solo episode, Stephanie breaks down what grief actually does to your body and why it can show up as chronic symptoms like gut issues, fatigue, anxiety, and hormonal imbalance. She shares her personal experience with loss and explains why profound grief is not something you “heal” from, but something you adapt to. This episode will change how you understand grief, your body, and your symptoms.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

- Why grief can dysregulate your nervous system
