Beyond Self-Care: Whole Body Healing in 2026, Round Table Discussion
Send us Fan Mail Beyond Self-Care: Whole Body Healing in 2026 What if self-care is only the beginning? In this episode of Next Chapter Women: She Blooms in Solitude , we go beyond traditional self-care and explore what whole-body healing can actually look like. Jess & Maureen are joined by three returning guests — Jen Zagon, Courtney Somma, and Eileen Hartenstine — each bringing a unique perspective on the physical, emotional, nervous-system, and energetic sides of healing. Together, we explore the difference between managing symptoms and addressing what may be underneath them , and why true healing often requires us to become more connected to our bodies rather than simply trying to feel better in the moment. In this conversation, we explore: Why self-care can sometimes remain surface-level — and what may be missing beneath it How chronic stress and trauma can affect the body and nervous system What it means to actually listen to the signals our bodies are sending us How TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) and body-based practices can become part of a healing journey Why nutrition and nourishment can be about much more than calories, food rules, or physical health Perspective on the deeper relationship between nourishment, healing, energy, and wellbeing How emotional, physical, spiritual, and energetic wellbeing can be interconnected Why healing doesn't have to mean completely overhauling your life How we can make whole-body healing accessible, practical, and achievable through small shifts The importance of awareness, curiosity, and learning to listen to what your body is telling you This conversation isn't about adding another list of things women should be doing. It's about going deeper. Because maybe healing doesn't always begin with doing more. Maybe it begins with paying attention. And perhaps most importantly, with realizing that healing doesn't have to become another thing on your to-do list. Maybe moving beyond self-care isn't about doing more. Maybe it's about going deeper.
