How do we live well in our bodies when we have experienced great loss in them?

We are continuing our conversations on living both healing and whole, living fully where we are, even as we are healing in different areas and ways. This week, we shift from our minds to our bodies with a dear friend of mine, Kendall Carver.

Kendall is a wife, mom, and leukemia survivor who lost her second daughter, Ellie, to her leukemia diagnosis.

Join Kendall and I as we talk about:

• what we know and don't know about battling cancer and grief as a mom
• places we get to experience healing, and the places where we are still waiting
• Kendall's advice for the early days of a diagnosis or grief
• the long process of healing
• accepting things we wish were different

Today's episode is part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Lindsay McVety. Go back and grab part 1 before getting started with this episode!

With so much about trauma online these days, I wanted to give us some handles on what it looks like to be both healing and whole in our minds. I am in no way, shape, or form the expert on trauma, and that's why I brought in Dr. Lindsay!

Dr. Lindsay McVety is a professor and online director at Canada Christian College, Creative Pastor at The River Worship in Ontario, and has her doctorate in Traumatology. That's what I asked her to talk about with us.

Join Dr. Lindsay and I as we talk about:

• minimizing the impact of trauma
• coping strategies (We all have them! The question is are ours healthy)
• misconceptions about mental health and trauma in the Church
• bridging the gap between our mental and spiritual health
