What happens when life stacks on you, the grief, the health diagnoses, the relationships that finally had to end, and you've drifted so far outside yourself you don't know how to come back?

 In this episode, Tara Jo gets personal.
She shares what it's been like navigating the loss of her brother, a severe concussion, mold toxicity, MCAS, lupus, and more, not as a badge of honour, but as an invitation to give yourself some grace if you've been carrying more than you realize.

Tara Jo also walks you through a live body scan practice, something she does with her clients inside the Divine Love Healing Collective, so you can start to hear what your body has actually been trying to tell you. Not to fix it or push through it, just to listen.

In this episode:

  • Why transitions, the expected ones and the ones that blindside you, can knock you off your path, and why that's not always a bad thing
  • What it means to ride the wave of your nervous system versus getting swept under it
  • Why calm 24/7 is actually kind of a myth, and what regulation really looks like
  • How to know when your body needs rest versus when it's stuck in freeze
  • The one thing that has made the biggest difference in Tara Jo's own healing journey

There's also a full guided body scan meditation in this episode. If you're somewhere you can close your eyes, do it along with her, and if you're driving, save it for later.

If anything comes up for you, Tara Jo would love to hear about it. What did your body tell you?
