Ask Jay: How Do You Take Care of Yourself Through Life’s Hardest Seasons?

À propos de cet épisode

Jay answers listeners' stories about what happens when health struggles make life feel completely out of your control. Through conversations about postpartum trauma, an unexpected brain tumor diagnosis, the emotional toll of caring for a parent with dementia, and the desire to help others while still healing yourself, Jay explores how to live with uncertainty when you can’t simply fix what you’re going through. He shares grounded, research-backed ways to find moments of relief, redefine what’s enough, and keep moving forward without waiting for everything to be resolved.
