Actually, the only sure thing is that it isn’t – it’s uncomfortable, confusing, and takes work. Yet we’re in a time that is inviting us, actually more like shoving us, into change.

Loving Yourself Through Grief with Lisa Zawrotny
December 23, 2020 06:00 - 42 minutes - 29.1 MBThe holidays can be a very difficult time for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one, regardless of when that person passed.

#7 Can I Make Plans Yet?
December 16, 2020 06:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBIt’s that time of year when lots of people start talking about goals and intentions for the next year but it's different this year. Of course, I definitely get the desire to move on from 2020 but we are STILL in the thick of the Covid crisis. Though I resisted being one of the many to talk about New Year goal setting, I thought it was important to explore how we honor the desire to move forward while still feeling paralyzed in many ways by the trauma we’re still experiencing as a society.
