Grief reminds us of the uncertainty life carries, it gets us to rethink everything we care about, to re-prioritize where we put our focus, who we talk to, and what we end up doing with our lives. Our temporary existence is somewhat reminded of us. What are we going to do with each day? Each hour? Each minute? Grief is painful. Grief is heavy. Losing someone you love is probably one of the most if not hardest things we have to experience in this human life. This week I tell you my tips for navigating grief, the right (and wrong) things to say to someone who is grieving, my experience with grief & more. If you are experiencing grief right now you are not alone. I hope this episode resonates.  I love you all. Thank you for tuning in this week. If you ever need someone to talk to I am here. My 5 tips for navigating grief: Let yourself FEEL, cry, sleep, scream, write, and shake. Things will trigger you, let yourself feel whatever comes up whenever it comes up, set a timer to allow yourself time to cry, and then when the timer goes off return to your day. Do this as many times as you need to until the energy dissipates. Talk to a therapist weekly or more if needed, and have someone who is trained on how to navigate grief, and who can help hold space for you. Celebrate the person, identity, or animal you are grieving, remember the beautiful memories, and feelings, honor the person, and have a celebration of life to honor this time. Find something to believe in after death, god, spirit, source, or ANYTHING that feels good to you. Talk about it, find a grief group, talk to friends, be vulnerable with those you feel safe with, express what is coming up for you, and let people know what feels good and doesn’t everyone is just trying to navigate it.

Hi, soul fam! This week I'm reflecting back on a crazy, wonderful, powerful year. Join me as I unpack this year and what I have learned: Things always get better. Over time and as we age, life shapeshifts and transforms. We will never stay the same. Putting in the work does pay off. Maybe not instantaneously but eventually. Watering the seeds is just as important as planting them. Finally, you will have a garden of beautiful plants and flowers and beautiful butterflies and bees that help create the ecosystem that is your life Beating yourself up won’t solve anything. Being a bully to yourself only slows down your progress forward. Better to be kind and be on your own team than against yourself. No one is ever doing as well as they appear to be online. Social media is a highlight reel and that is just fine. But you must remind yourself it is just one slice of the pie, not the whole thing. Challenge grows resiliency, do not fear it, appreciate it and what it teaches you. We may never understand our existence in this lifetime but that proves that our task is not to understand it but to live it. Having embodiment practices will help you to feel god/source/connection more consistently. Perfection breeds unfulfillment, it doesn’t exist. You don’t have to think about who you want to be, you just have to work on being it, showing up as it is, and being more present.

Hi soul family, This week's episode is a morning affirmation track.  Affirmations are statements that help you focus on what you want to feel, create & see in your life. By becoming present and focusing our mind on what we want to feel we take back our power for the day. Affirmations help us to consciously align with what we would like our lives to feel and look like.  Listen to this first thing every morning to shift your focus and manifest the day you desire! You can listen lying down, sitting, or gazing in front of a mirror. Don't worry about believing the statements fully at first. It is normal for us to have doubts and feel unaligned with what we want to experience at times. Especially if you have been operating from a negative headspace. With practice and intention, my hope is that these affirmations help you feel a little more positive and confident in your day.  Share this track with a friend & subscribe to the podcast on whatever platform you are tuning in from :) IG: @lifebeneaththeshallows @naia.litman --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/naialitman/support

Hi friends! This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Lilly Terry and getting to know her story. Lilly is a holistic health coach, fellow podcast host, and women's empowerment facilitator. She is a multi-talented and creative individual and I am so excited to share her story and this episode with you all. She is also the host of the Home to Self Podcast which you can check out after this episode!  In this episode, we talk about meditation, self-development, relationship tips, and more! The key takeaways from this episode for me were: The importance of being still in times of chaos or stress. Our bodies and intuition always know the answer, we just need to give them space to tell us. We can experience the feelings we want to manifest right now at this moment. The most important tool for healing comes from emotional intelligence and learning to trust your intuition. We carry wisdom in our soul, body, and mind that we often don't credit ourselves for. Healthy relationships involve having your own sense of self and space. Taking space for yourself and holding boundaries is key to a healthy relationship. Starting a project is never easy but there is really no time like the present.
