Grief Part 4: Re-Calibrating After Loss Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

In Grief Part 2, I shared my grief journey through the first two tasks of grief. In this episode I continue sharing my grief journey through the last two tasks of grief which are adjusting to the new life without the loved one, and reinvesting in a new reality. I found I was a bit like the little bird in PD Eastman's Book asking "Are you my mother?" I share how I found her--and a new version of me after her passing.

Grief is as different as the number of people on earth. But sometimes it’s easy to wonder if what we’re experiencing is “normal.” I’m so thankful to my siblings for being willing to share about their varied grief experiences—it paints a picture of how different grief journeys can be for people who even lost the same person in the same way.

On this episode we’ll cover:

Experiences of acute grief right after our mother’s passing
Experience of longer-term grief over the past ten years
A difficult part of grief
Something that surprised us about grief

Grief Part 2: My Grief Journey Losing My Mom (ENCORE SERIES) Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

This week on the podcast, I share my personal journey of grief around losing my mother. I hope it will be helpful to you in your own grief journeys of loss. There is something about other’s stories that can be more reassuring than science or models—other’s experiences can offer validation, understanding, empathy and connection. I’m getting a bit more raw and personal in this podcast because that is exactly the nature of grief. I talk about how I navigated the first 2 tasks of grief. 1) Accepting the reality of the loss. 2) Experiencing the pain of the loss.

Grief Part 1: Navigating Grief Without Getting Stuck (ENCORE SERIES) Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

Twelve years ago Saturday, my mother passed away. Grief isn’t something we plan or prepare for, so when it comes it’s often unexpected—even if someone’s death is expected due to a terminal illness. I’ve been looking back at my own grief journey, and studying the most common things about grief that cause people to get stuck and what helps them get unstuck. I’m excited to share those tips with you today. This is the first part in a series on grief. The next few episodes will include an episode sharing my experience of my mother passing away, an episode interviewing my siblings about their various grief experiences and an episode about what to say and what not to say to people experiencing grief.

On the podcast you’ll learn:

Why the using the common grief model by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross to understand your grief journey might NOT be helpful
Different graphics or models that may be more helpful
What the four tasks are that help us heal from grief

Self-Worth: Confidence Part 4 Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Last time we discussed the 6 parts of confidence. This time we're going deep on self-worth.
Consider the following questions:

What are you worth?
(I 'm not talking about how much money your make or what your net worth is. I mean what is your intrinsic value as a human being unrelated to money?)
What gives us value as humans?
Who decides your value or worth?

Worth is the value we give to something. Self-worth is the value we assign to ourselves. Why does self-worth matter? Think about something you have that is valuable. How do you treat it? For most of us we treat valuable things with more care and deliberate action. The same is true for you. When we value ourselves and believe we have innate worth, we treat ourselves (and others too) differently. Self-Worth is foundational to all the other parts of confidence.

Confidence 2: Why Confidence Matters Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

Confidence is the foundation of our mental and emotional health. Ironically confidence begets more confidence because when we believe we can we do more, we try more often, we are willing to take risks. Confidence creates a rich life experience, it speeds up decision making, improves communication, and is frankly a lot more fun to live with than self-doubt.
In this episode we dig into some of the benefits of confidence--I share some personal stories and some from clients about the difference confidence can make in your life.

How confident would you say you are? Does it change in different situations? With different people? Has it been different during different life stages?

However, confidence is like the background music to our lives--it impacts how we feel, how we see the world, and how we interact with others. This confidence series is designed to help you improve your confidence. In this first episode we're going to explore how confident you are!
