This news hits her hard, especially as she’s already knee-deep in trauma work, trying to make sense of her childhood experiences. Gris takes us through her experience at a sound meditation retreat, where she confronts these overwhelming feelings head-on. She doesn’t shy away from the tough parts—like the moments of dissociation during an ice plunge that made her feel disconnected from her own body. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Gris also talks about the powerful moments of clarity and self-compassion that helped her find her way back to herself.

She highlights how compassion—both for oneself and others—can be a guiding light through the darkest times. This episode is a testament to the strength and resilience required to face life’s toughest challenges and come out stronger on the other side.
If you're someone who's grappling with your own emotional journey or supporting a loved one through theirs, this episode offers a beacon of hope and practical insights. Gris's honesty and vulnerability make this a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the transformative power of compassion and self-reflection.
