Cultivating Joy and Hope Through Grief

Episode 382 – Cultivating Joy and Hope Through Grief with Jenny Robinson Clark

Episode Description: For many of us, the silence around death can be just as frightening as the loss we have experienced. Talking openly about the fear of the unknown helps break down those taboos, making room for a kinder and more compassionate conversation about the enduring bond we share with those no longer physically with us.

We look at how noticing small, meaningful synchronicities can offer a sense of comfort and connection during the waves of grief. By leaning into these personal moments and sharing them with our loved ones, we can transform a painful experience into a lasting legacy of hope and healing.

LEARN ABOUT THE JŌRNI

The Jōrni is dedicated to making holistic healing accessible. We bring together holistic and evidence-based approaches to support individuals in their mental, physical, emotional, and energetic wellbeing.

As part of this mission, we work with Functional Freeze, a mixed nervous system response to chronic stress that can leave people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, numb, and disconnected. The Jōrni offers space for individuals to deepen their understanding of their own healing process, shift long-held patterns, and change the way they experience chronic stress and recovery.

GET THE BOOK

Are you doing all the "right" things like self-care, journaling, and mindset work, yet still feel exhausted, numb, or disconnected? You might be experiencing Functional Freeze, a mixed nervous system response to chronic stress that keeps you stuck in survival mode, functioning on the outside but shutting down on the inside.

The Functional Freeze Formula is the first holistic framework designed to help you understand and move beyond Functional Freeze. Blending science, lived experience, and holistic healing, this book reveals why traditional stress and burnout recovery methods often fall short and what to do instead.
