The Love Your Journey Podcast

Navigating Medical Trauma, Grief & The Power Of Care Plans

Tara Jo Kadlec Season 1 Episode 35

In this raw and emotional episode, Tara Jo opens up about a recent MRI experience that unearthed deep medical trauma, grief, and the importance of honoring what your body holds, especially when it comes to navigating the healthcare system.

She shares:

  • What happened during her MRI and why it triggered a memory tied to her late brother, Cory
  • The unseen emotional toll that can show up after medical appointments
  • Why preparing a “care plan” for yourself—especially during times of health challenges—is so essential
  • What it looks like to grieve, feel triggered, and still choose to care for yourself with gentleness
  • Reflections on community support, nervous system healing, and planning ahead when living with complex health needs

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt afraid to go to a doctor, been dismissed in medical spaces, or carried the weight of other people’s care on their shoulders. Tara Jo offers you a compassionate space to feel seen, supported, and reminded: you’re not alone.
