Episode #44 - What is Body Grief with Jayne Mattingly

Welcome to episode #44 of the Recover with Carly Podcast.

In honor of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome awareness month, this week’s episode is with Jayne Mattingly. Jayne was diagnosed with EDS about four years ago and is learning how to navigate this diagnosis every day. Jayne is a chronic illness and disability advocate, eating disorder survivor, soon to be author, and founder of the nonprofit - The AND Initiative.

Over the last couple of years, Jayne has coined the term Body Grief and is educating people daily on what it is, what it can look like, and how we can navigate it. We all experience Body Grief in some capacity and hearing Jayne share her experience and knowledge was so empowering.

I’ve been following Jayne for many years and i’m so thankful for her and the work she does. She has inspired me in so many ways and makes me feel less alone in so many capacities and I hope that she can do the same for you throughout today’s episode.

You can follow Jayne on Instagram and Tiktok. You can also stay up to date on everything that Jayne is doing via her website. Keep an eye out for Jayne’s book that will be coming in Spring of 2025 and look out for her podcast coming this summer.
