In this deeply moving episode of The Breakdown with Bethany, Bethany Braun-Silva sits down with Jayne Mattingly, creator of Body Grief and author of the upcoming book This Is Body Grief, to explore what it means when your body no longer feels like your own. Whether due to chronic illness, disability, postpartum changes, or other life-altering conditions, body grief is something many experience but few have the language for—until now. Jayne shares her powerful journey from battling an undiagnosed eating disorder to becoming disabled after multiple brain and spine surgeries, and how she came to understand, study, and name body grief. She and Bethany dive into the ways society encourages us to push through pain, the dangers of hustle culture, and the importance of reconnecting with our bodies with kindness, trust, and self-compassion.
