Episode Details

What if everything you've been told about healing after loss or trauma and the 5 stages of grief are wrong? Dr. B shares her incredible journey from devastating loss to becoming a beacon of hope for others. After losing three children and her husband over 20 years, this psychiatric nurse practitioner discovered why traditional approaches to grief often keep us stuck - and developed a revolutionary method that actually works.

You'll discover why the famous "five stages of grief" are actually harmful, how trauma gets stored in our bodies and impacts our weight, energy, and relationships, and the specific steps you can take to transform your pain into purpose. Dr. B reveals her "Mentally Strong Method" and explains why grief and trauma are completely different - and why understanding this distinction changes everything.

This isn't about "getting over" your pain or pretending everything is fine. It's about learning to separate grief (which is your badge of honor) from trauma (which keeps you stuck) so you can finally heal and thrive. If you've ever felt like your past is holding you back from the health, relationships, or life you want, this conversation will give you permission to heal - and show you exactly how to do it.
