Grief is an overwhelming emotion that most of us wish to avoid (and often unconsciously resist). But Jonny Miller believes that grief is a portal to liberation; to a greater sense of aliveness and connection to ourselves, the world, and life itself. In today's episode, he'll share his personal experience with grief after his fiance's suicide as well as his journey from a 'logical, rational' startup founder to an embodied, curious human dedicated to teaching others how to cultivate calm, upgrade resilience & increase aliveness through his Nervous System Mastery bootcamp.
Hear Jonny explain why breathwork is powerful medicine (and the neuroscientific basis of how it actually works), his advice for leaning into emotion as a means of healing, and why trying to 'fix' your problems may be the very thing keeping you stuck.
This is a beautiful, powerful episode filled with wisdom you can apply immediately to help you process and heal from difficult emotions and trauma while building your capacity to live a more Marvelus life.

Quotable:
“Really up until then I had been quite disconnected from my feelings, from my emotions. And so part of me was like, I'm gonna really dive into this and grieve. There was this sense of I'm gonna go towards this.”
“I think that on the other side, grief, honestly, it increases our capacity to love. I think that’s really what it comes down to. To invite the full spectrum of experiences.”
“The body knows how to heal itself. The nervous system knows how to return to homeostasis when it's given permission and safety.”
