106. Why Unprocessed Grief Is Keeping You Stuck Physically & Emotionally with Marcia Earhart

About this episode

The episode discusses how unprocessed grief and emotional trauma can manifest as physical symptoms and emphasizes the importance of addressing root causes for healing.

If you’ve been dealing with chronic symptoms, unprocessed grief, or emotional trauma that just will not seem to go away… this episode is for you. Maybe you’ve been doing everything right for your health.

And deep down, you know there might be something more your body is trying to tell you. In this episode, I’m joined by Marcia Earhart, trauma and grief coach, HeartSync minister, author, and co-founder of The Sterling Rose Sanctuary. Marcia shares from her own story of chronic illness, profound loss, and the faith that carried her through some of the darkest seasons of her life.

We also go deeper into what it looks like to heal with God at the center. This is a conversation about faith-based healing, processing grief in a healthy way, and learning how to release what your body has been…
