Season 2: The Wrestling
What happens when the grief you refuse to feel, your body decides to feel for you? In this raw and revealing Season 2 premiere, I share the story of waking up completely paralysed, on the exact one year anniversary of my husband’s death. This was the terrifying onset of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition where the body screams what the soul cannot say. We will explore how unprocessed trauma from losing very close people, buried under the relentless grind of running a business, manifested as paralysis and brain fog. We will find a companion in King David, who also felt his body fail from grief, and will offer solidarity and practical steps for anyone whose body is keeping score of their pain.
