The Manifestation of Grief
August 04, 2020 11:00 - 15 minutes - 10.7 MBGrief manifests in our lives and, in our bodies, in various ways.

Academy Award Recovery
July 28, 2020 11:00 - 14 minutes - 9.77 MBWe all, as grievers (or otherwise, for that matter) tend to reply with the expression "I'm fine," when asked how we're doing. After experiencing loss, we do this because it is often just easier than leaving the conversation of how we typically feel - misunderstood and unsupported. In this episode, learn why "I'm fine" is damaging to ourselves, but also equally damaging as a message we're sending to children and to society. If we could tell the emotional truth about ourselves, we can then...

Get to Know Me
June 30, 2020 11:00 - 12 minutes - 8.43 MBConsider this our first meeting at a coffee shop; it's like speed-dating for friendship. And, I LOVE coffee (black or, lately - iced) and deep conversation with friends.

It is my hope, that through sharing the tools and language I've learned in addressing grief, that culturally, we can take the conversation up a few notches. Growing up, our parents relied on what they were taught, and it's th...
