Transform Grief With Body-Based Practices with Jason Wendroff-Rawnicki
Manage episode 515252800 series 3551517
Grief can shrink the world and silence the parts of ourselves we most need to hear. In this episode, we sit down with somatic grief therapist Jason Wendroff-Rawnicki to explore how simple, body-based practices—breath, movement, sleep, and nutrition—can calm your nervous system and help you carry loss with steadiness and resilience.
Jason shares his personal journey after losing his sister in 1998, revealing why talk therapy alone couldn’t shift his pain—and how pairing insight with practical physical rituals changed everything. You’ll discover:
- A clear, two-minute breathing drill to reset your nervous system
- The surprising role of sleep, omega-3s, and “quality” nutrition in emotional repair
- How tiny, consistent daily rituals—morning mindset, push-ups, meditation, and cold exposure—compound into real transformation
- Ways to reclaim your identity and purpose while carrying grief, from community advocacy to small daily actions that restore choice
This conversation is a compassionate guide for anyone navigating loss, showing that grief doesn’t have to erase joy—and that small, doable practices can free your voice, body, and spirit.
