2020 is the year of collective grieving. Many of us have lost loved ones due to the pandemic. But there are many other kinds of losses people are experiencing in addition to death. People have lost jobs, lost their senior prom, sports seasons, graduation. People have lost their vacations, wedding receptions, and even a lot of their normal day to day activities. We are all grieving something and many of us are eating too much, drinking too much and indulging in ways we know are not good for us, but work to numb us from feeling the anger, sadness and frustration that comes with grief. That's why I'm so happy to talk with Vickie Griffiths. She is an author, weight loss coach and podcast host and has a lot of great insight into what is happening, and how we can get a grip on eating our feelings as we grieve.

When we think of a grieving person, we often think about a person who is depressed, sad and crying. But just seeing that picture of grief, could be holding you back from REALLY seeing what grief actually looks like. Grieving people rarely break down in public, but that grief does reveal itself in other ways. And what about children? How can we help better support our grieving children That's why this conversation with Author, Grief Educator and Pastor Steve Sewell is so interesting. Steve educates educators on what to look for and how to best support a student who might be grieving. And has written a great book to help children better understand how they are feeling. ________________________________________ To get a copy of Steve's Children's book "Finding Hope", click here: https://amzn.to/2Cp2lBw To purchase the companion "Finding Hope" Workbook click here: https://amzn.to/3fioVKC Or you can learn more at : www.stevensewell.me _____________________________________________________________ Sherrie Dunlevy-#Inspirationista is a best selling author, speaker and grief educator.

We all work with someone who has been dealing with grief. We just might not know it. Grief isn't necessarily just about death. People can grieve over lost marriages, a diagnosis, a child who has a drug problem, and the list goes on and on. People come to work with a smile on their face, and deep pain in their hearts, and unfortunately no one is trained to help support them...until now. In this episode, Sherrie talks with Anthony Casablanca, who along with his brother Guy, has developed leadership training around this very common, yet underserved segment of our workforce. ################################################################################ To find out more about Grief Leaders go to: www.GriefLeaders.com You can contact Anthony at a.casablanca@griefleaders.com For more information on Grief Anonymous: https://www.GriefAnonymous.com *To order a copy of her best selling book “How Can I Help?” go to https://www.SherrieDunlevy.com/author.

Have you ever had your loved one visit you in a dream? Did you ever wonder what it meant? Were you curious if you were the only person, having this happen? Did it make you feel better when you woke up? In this episode of the Grief Anonymous Podcast I talk with Dr. Joshua Black a grief dreams researcher, speaker, author, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast, about why he has focused his entire career on grief dreams and what he has learned from his research. The answers he has found, may or may not surprise you. ###################################################################### Dr. Joshua Black is a grief dreams researcher, speaker, author, and host of the Grief Dreams Podcast. He has focused all of his MA and PhD research (in psychology) on investigating grief dreams from many types of loss (including prenatal loss and pet loss). The majority of his research on grief dreams has been specifically on dreams of the deceased. Due to the lack of academic research in this field, Joshua has focused his efforts on raising awareness on grief dreams through doing talks, workshops, and interviews. Additionally, he hosts the Grief Dreams Podcast, developed a grief dreams website (www.griefdreams.ca), runs several social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram), and wrote a children’s book on grief dreams (Dreaming of Owl).

Grieving the loss of someone you love is so painful. And yet, even though we may want to feel better, often we feel guilty about it.

Grieving is as individual as people. Each person is on their own journey. But when it comes to men and women, there are similarities among the sexes. Many women have common grief experiences, as do men. But when a child dies, it seems all the support is aimed at the mother. The father grieves too. So what are the differences in the way men and women grieve? That's what host and Inspirationista Sherrie Dunlevy and her guest Bradley Vinson discuss in this episode of the Grief Anonymous Podcast.

When we picture someone grieving a lot of us see deep sadness, despair, and crying. Those are common signs for grievers, but they are not the only signs and emotions that people feel. In fact, you might see someone actually smiling. But don't let that make you think that person is ok or they are not grieving. Grief is as individual as each and everyone of us.

It happened out of the blue., one minute Mary Uraco was at work and feeling great, and the next minute she started feeling like she had the flu. Only it wasn't the flu, it was something way worse. Something that won't any better. Something that caused her to lose her job, the way she socialized and cost her the ability to eat. It's called gastoparesis and it is a rare disorder that has totally changed her life. For many, this kind of diagnosis would mean the beginning of the end. But for Mary, its just a new beginning that has opened up a whole new way of life for her, and a new way to make a living, but helping others. She is my guest today on ALL THINGS AWESOME Interviews.

Imagine being a new mom, crying all the time, not being able to bond with your child and when you go to see help, the medical community says, says "sorry we can’t help you." That’s why Ashleigh Griffin is so passionate about making side this never happens to another new mom. She’s my guest on ALL THINGS AWESOME Interviews, another ordinary person, stepping out to live in an extraordinary way.

In this edition of ALL THINGS AWESOME Interviews a great conversation with the delightful Ruthann Bowan. Empty nest syndrome has many moms asking the question what next? For Ruthann, her "what next" question was answered in a most modern way. She was able to merge her passion with a greater purpose and now she is using that gift to help others grow their businesses and organizations. Plus, she is growing a high tech community via social media.

What am I supposed to be doing with my life? It's an age old question that most of us have asked at least once on our lifetime. Our guests today are no exception. Author, speaker and podcaster J.A. Plosker and his wife Melissa spend most of their time talking from people who seem to have figured it out and are living as close to their mission and purpose as possible. Then they take those lessons that speak to them and apply it to their lives. As a result they have the Nobody Bible, and the Nobody Guide to life. So what is a Nobody? We let them explain, because they do such a great job. I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I enjoyed conducting it.

Sometimes what you might think is the worst thing that can happen to you, actually is the best thing that happened for you. That's what my guest today on ALL THINGS AWESOME Interviews has discovered. Yitzi Weiner loved his job working as a contributor for the Huffington Post, but when that chapter was closed, instead of looking for another writing job, he decided to publish his own magazine. And that's why he's my guest on ALL THINGS AWESOME Interviews.

September is Childhood Cancer awareness month and I cannot think of a better guest to have on ALL THINGS AWESOME than Linda Carroll. Linda is an ordinary mom just like many of us who has had to step way out of her comfort zone to honor the mission of her late son Michael.

No one wants to think about death and dying and even fewer people want to talk about it. That's what makes today's episode so AWESOME. Holly Barker is the founder of an organization called Grief Anonymous, a group she founded following the death of her husband. She created it because she NEEDED it and thousands of others, it turns out, do too. It's a labor of love born out of the saddest chapter of her life, designed to help others when they find themselves in the throes of grief. I hope you will listen and then share with someone who might need to know about this organization. Here is Sherrie's interview with Holly Barker.

Amy is just an ordinary person who many times in her life chose the extraordinary and that is she is our guest on ALL THINGS AWESOME Live. **NOTE** due to technical issues, this interview starts :40 seconds into the recording
