Can you truly find joy after profound loss? Join us as we explore this compelling question with Dr. Natasha Trujillo, a psychologist who has dedicated her career to helping individuals navigate the intertwining paths of grief, trauma, and performance. In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Trujillo shares insights from her multifaceted career, explaining how grief often intersects with other mental health issues like eating disorders and trauma. Her experiences working with athletes and her deeply personal book provide a foundation for discussing the importance of normalizing grief and avoiding self-criticism along the way.
Family dynamics play a crucial role in our understanding and processing of trauma, as Dr. Trujillo elaborates on the empathy that can arise from recognizing a parent's past traumas. We discuss the unique challenges faced by grieving mothers and the importance of "doing the work" to navigate through grief. From basic survival tasks to deeper therapeutic efforts, Dr. Trujillo stresses the necessity of integrating loss into one’s life while maintaining commitment despite fluctuating motivation. Practical strategies for managing social interactions and the dual nature of life events are also discussed, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging both gains and losses.
Living with both joy and sorrow is a complex journey, one that we explore through various lenses. Dr. Trujillo underscores the significance of open communication within families and respecting each individual's unique coping mechanisms. We touch on the book And She Was Never The Same Again, a multi-generational memoir that encapsulates the lasting effects of grief and loss on families. This episode is a powerful reminder of the value of self-awareness, mutual understanding, and open dialogue in navigating grief and supporting each other. Join us for this insightful discussion and discover how facing grief can eventually lead to finding joy.

Thank you so much for listening! We'd love to hear from you---what you would love to hear, what you like, what helped, etc. With love, Warrior Moms Michele & Amy
