In the last episode, I touched on identifying the types of supporters in your life. I love a good analogy to sports; much like any successful team needs a roster of individuals who contribute DIFFERENTLY, we need to understand that not every person in our life can contribute to every need we have. When we become clear on this and place others in a position to succeed through our own clear expectations and celebration of their specific skills and personality - things in grief and life - get a whole lot easier and more enjoyable.
Highlights of this episode:
1:22 - How sports supported my grief journey
3:00 - Put the people in your life in areas to succeed
5:35 - Two things to look out for when selecting your team
7:36 - The 4 types of teammates: listeners, doers, distractors, & the Xers
13:02 - How these teammates helped me in my grief journey
About this podcast:
Grief, Guts & Smoothies. These three things changed my life – they might change yours too. Each episode we abandon our comfort zones to get a little gutsy and hold space to grow into stronger versions of ourselves.
In 2014, the birth of my daughter Leyden changed my entire world. Four months later, grief shattered it. I was broken, scared, lost, angry and hopeless. I didn’t want to live and wasn’t really sure how to.
I sought every mean to “fight” grief: researching, joining parent groups, and I even traveled outside of the country twice, to hear world-renowned grief speaker Dr. Raymond Moody.
Disappointed, I discovered like all adversities in life, there is no way to “beat” grief. But, thankfully, there were effective strategies I could employ when navigating such choppy waters. Whether it was understanding the gut-brain connection, or getting gutsy in my ability to face discomfort, the tools I learned, truly saved my life.
There are not nearly enough resources to support each other through uncomfortable challenges – be it loss of a job, a relationship, a sense of self… or life. Talking about uncomfortable things, well that takes guts. And we are going to get really gutsy here.
