The first episode in this series is an examination of something that brings a lot of anxiety, anticipation, even fear into the lives of those who are grappling with grief: Calendar Milestones. In this solo episode, I discuss the challenges and big emotions that these days present, offer a glimpse into a piece of my grief story and how we choose to acknowledge these days, and a bunch of nuggets to help you determine how YOU can honor and acknowledge these dates.

Marc and I discuss why the “fake it ‘til you make it” attitude so common in grief support circles is actually keeping us locked in a cycle of suffering. We get honest and unfiltered about what’s possible when it comes to mental wellness for us all and how the bar has been set so abysmally low when it comes to our expectations for healing. We can all step onto the path to thriving, NOW—no matter what stage of grief we’re in or level of heartache we’ve experienced.

Chronic inflammation shows up in our bodies as bloating, extreme fatigue, depression, and physical aches and pains. Sound familiar? We are quick to attribute these symptoms to “just getting older,” settling and coping with our lot in life. Inflammation’s effects compound when grief enters the picture. In this vicious cycle, stress increases inflammation and inflammation increases stress. We’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be this way!

Losing your beloved brings you face-to-face with the question: Who am I now? In the throes of massive life transition, it can be terrifying to lose our sense of Self alongside deep grief, yet when we cultivate the capacity to pause and get curious about the person within, our true Soul mate, we begin to understand the essence of who we really are - who we’ve always been. From this place, somehow the way forward seems more possible - and perhaps, even enjoyable.

My guest is Dr. Christina Bjorndal, a naturopathic doctor who brings us a revolutionary message on a new (not so new) approach to healing ourselves. In lieu of pharmacological drugs to treat symptoms, she considers her patient’s lifestyle, history, experiences, and overall wellness to encourage healing in their most hurt-filled, tender areas of their soul. As a naturopathic doctor, she uses homeopathic methods (such as nutrition, supplementation, reiki, and acupuncture) to nurture a patient’s entire bei

My guest today is Jeanette Bronée, who guides us through her personal journey to healing after the death of her parents as an adult. She shares about the drastic lifestyle shift she committed to - from running herself into the ground (“I was surviving on coffee and stress”) to a life of balance and boundaries - and the impact that it’s had on her worldview and experience of healing.

Tricia and I talk about the impact that hiding our story has not just on our own identity, but also the way the narrative around our experiences gets represented within the culture. Telling our story can actually make it easier for others to be courageous enough to seek the support they need to move their own lives in the direction of healing.

In this episode of the Grief Unveiled podcast I have guest Susan Mercer—a death doula and energy healer. Today’s topic is death, the transition of dying, and how we talk about it with our families and friends. It’s a topic that’s considered mysterious and taboo by many, which is why we approached it respectfully and with the utmost tenderness.

We’re culturally ingrained and trained to compartmentalize and power through our pain. Anna shares with us how a hands-on practice, such as art-making, can be an incredibly cathartic and perhaps powerfully healing experience. It’s true–there’s no cure or easy fix for grief, but these practices we examine can help create an expression of grief and love in a more tangible, visual, malleable way, while also potentially illuminating precious insights to your inner world as well.
