How to Naturally Overcome Grief with Jasmin Jenkins

Notes from episode:

Today my guest is Jasmin Jenkins who I share the very deep theme of grief with. Jasmin is an Integrative Grief Guide and is the founder of Fall Up. Many people who have experienced loss still have a hard time processing grief, understanding what grief means and what it does to the body and how to get over it and more importantly, honor it.

Jasmin experienced loss when she lost her mother and brother. Jasmin lost her mother, when she was 15 and her brother's sudden death 10 years later shook her to the core. Since then she has been on a very intentional healing journey but, “there was always a layer that was still choking on”, only a few years ago she found peace and once she was actively integrating with grief and healing is when she found her unique path of service as an Integrative Grief Guide. And it was through healing herself of her grief that she arrived at the place where she knew that she was meant to serve others in their healing.

This is what we discuss in depth:

• Why are we not properly taught to grieve?

• What happens to the body and mind when you experience grief?

• The Four Invitations method around grief
