The Truth About Grief, Food & Emotional Survival w/ Krista St-Germain

Grief changes everything - from how you feel in your body, to how you relate to food, to how you move through the world.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Krista St-Germain, grief expert, master coach, and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast. After losing her husband suddenly in a tragic accident, Krista found herself navigating a kind of grief that no one had prepared her for - and realized the traditional “stages of grief” weren’t cutting it.

Now, she helps others move through loss with more self-compassion, clarity, and emotional resilience.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What grief really looks like
•  How grief impacts your body, brain, hormones, and emotional regulation
•  Why food becomes a common coping mechanism - and what to do instead
•  The dual process model of grief (loss-oriented and life-oriented healing)
•  How to tell if a coping tool is numbing or actually nurturing you
•  What “post-traumatic growth” really means - and how to access it

Whether you're grieving a person, a relationship, a version of yourself—or even just feeling like you're emotionally surviving one day at a time - this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and more grounded in your own healing journey.

Because food might be part of how you're surviving - but it doesn't have to be the only way. And healing doesn't mean "moving on." It means moving with love, gentleness, and intention.
