EP 294 Healing Starts With You: How Unprocessed Grief Impacts Parenting & What To Do About It – with Jason Wendroff-Rawnicki
Welcome Back No Problem Parents~
Unresolved grief doesn’t just stay hidden—it shows up in the way we parent.
In this episode, I’m joined by Somatic Grief Therapist and educator Jason Wendroff-Rawnicki, who shares how the loss of his teenage sister led him to a powerful truth: if we don’t process our pain, our children will inherit it.
We talk about how grief lives in the body, why talk therapy isn’t always enough, and what parents can do to begin healing—so they don’t unconsciously condition their kids with emotional baggage.
What You’ll Learn:
Why grief needs to be processed physically—not just mentally
How unhealed trauma impacts parenting styles and family dynamics
Somatic tools to calm your nervous system and model emotional regulation
The connection between body awareness and breaking generational patterns
Whether you’ve experienced a loss or are just carrying emotional weight from your past, this episode offers practical tools to help you show up more grounded and present for your kids.
