Is Grief Why You’re Stuck? The Hidden Weight You Didn’t Know You Were Carrying

Hey mama—ever find yourself elbow-deep in snacks, not because you're hungry, but because something just hurts?

This week on the pod, we’re exploring the sneaky connection between grief and emotional eating with grief expert and life coach Krista St. Germain. Whether you’ve lost a loved one or a version of your life that never came to be, grief can quietly shape your habits with food and your relationship to your body.

Krista shares her own powerful story of loss and how she turned pain into purpose—helping women process grief without getting stuck in it. We bust myths about the five stages, talk about the long tail of secondary losses, and get honest about why our culture kind of sucks at making space for sadness.

And of course, we get practical. You’ll learn somatic tools that actually work to regulate your nervous system without raiding the pantry.

If you’ve ever felt like your hunger wasn’t really about food—this one’s for you.

You’ll learn:

•    Why the five stages of grief are outdated (and what actually helps)

•    How unprocessed grief drives emotional eating

•    Somatic tools to regulate your nervous system without using food

•    What post-traumatic growth really means (and how to start creating it)

•    The difference between “moving on” and “moving forward”

•    How grief shows up in your body—even years later

•    Why noticing your patterns is something to celebrate, not shame
