Send us a textI'm excited to introduce a Life With Grief guest that does some INCREDIBLE work—and is unlike any other guest we've had on before.Ashley Spence is a motivational speaker, victim advocate, and founder of DNA Justice Project; a non-profit that focuses on educating the public and policy makers on the value of forensic DNA in the criminal justice system.When Ashley was a 19-year-old college student, she was the victim of a brutal home invasion and rape that nearly took her life. She never saw her attacker's face, and it was a cold case for seven years until he was caught through a forensic DNA match.For Ashley, the levels of grief around this are deep, raw, painful and complex, and we dig into all of this in our conversation.She now testifies all over the country to support legislation that will maximize the use of forensic DNA and advanced DNA technology, and she has worked globally to spark conversations on how to come together to put an end to sexual violence.Ashley's story is truly one of incredible bravery, profound healing, and taking inspired actions.TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions about a home invasion and sexual assault.Connect with Ashley:@ashleyespencednajusticeprojecthttps://www.dnajusticeproject.org/https://www.ashleyespence.com/Learn more about Micro-Moments for Transformation and begin your evolution today: https://lossesbecomegains.com/transformation Learn more about the 14-Day Relief in Your Grief experience and begin feeling more peace and healing: https://lossesbecomegains.com/transformationWork with me: Micro-Moments for Transformation: https://lossesbecomegains.com/transformation 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further: Leave a voice note through Speakpipe! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGrief Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

Send us a textWe're diving into the concept of disenfranchised grief—the “silent sorrow”, as I sometimes call it. This is grief that's often not openly acknowledged, socially validated or publicly mourned, which makes it especially challenging to navigate.In this conversation we're chatting about various examples of disenfranchised grief that are long overdue for some validation—think: the loss of an ex-partner or estranged family member, unrecognized or invalidated relationships, losses that are considered “less significant” than a death, stigmatized losses, losses of a job or sense of identity, major life transitions, and more.This is truly such an underrated yet incredibly important type of grief to acknowledge, so I'm also offering some insight into how to cope and navigate this. And, as always, giving you some practical coping strategies along the way.My mission with this topic is to validate your experience and loss, and provide you tools, support, and mindset shifts to help you navigate this complex form of grief. Start your next evolution and transformation here: https://losses-become-gains.showitpreview.com/transformation Start finding relief here: https://losses-become-gains.showitpreview.com/relief-in-griefWork with me: Micro-Moments for Transformation: https://lossesbecomegains.com/transformation 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further: Leave a voice note through Speakpipe! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGrief Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

Send us a textToday we're joined by Lauren Evans, author of the highly relatable fictional novel, “Casket Case”. I serendipitously found this novel in an airport and was immediately drawn to it, then proceeded to finish it very quickly because it was THAT good!In this episode we're talking all about Lauren's book, which intertwines themes of love and grief—two things I know will speak to so many grievers here. Her book follows Nora, a young woman who returns to her hometown after her parents' death to run their casket store, who eventually meets Garrett, a logistics coordinator for death. And yes, it's as juicy as it sounds!In our conversation we explore how grief shapes the characters' lives, and how it reflects real-life grieving experiences that we all go through—ones I have no doubt you can relate to. We touch on the challenges Lauren faced while writing about grief and loss in this way, and how writing served as a cathartic process for her.The episode highlights the importance of acknowledging grief, giving ourselves permission to feel it, and finding ways to integrate and transform this profound and deeply painful experience.Work with me: 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief Explore the membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further: Leave a voice note through Speakpipe! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGrief Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

Send us a textI'm so thrilled to welcome travel expert, host, and executive producer of Dream of Italy and Dream of Europe on PBS, Kathy McCabe.Kathy is so incredibly talented, and when you're watching one of her shows, you'd never know some of the trials and tribulations she's endured. I think this is such a beautiful example of never really knowing what someone is going through just based off of seeing them on social media or TV, or even in person.After unexpectedly losing both of her parents, she found herself on a journey of self-discovery and healing through her adventures across Italy.Reconnecting with her Italian heritage, building a successful career, and choosing a path that doesn't follow traditional societal norms for Gen X women of marriage or motherhood has been transformative for her. Now, she hopes to encourage others who may feel like they don't fit into these molds to find fulfillment in their own way.Today's conversation is all about embracing an unconventional path in life, and how travel helped her cope with the grief of losing both her parents.Kathy's perspective comes from her personal experiences and 22+ years of travel storytelling through her award-winning series, and we have a really beautiful and vulnerable conversation that I have no doubt you'll resonate with.Connect with Kathy:https://dreamofitaly.com/https://www.instagram.com/dreamofitaly/https://www.instagram.com/dreamofeuropetv/Discover and listen to the Taste Toast Travel Podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts and Youtube! https://tastetoasttravel.com/ Learn more about my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Experience: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-griefWork with me: 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief Explore the membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further: Leave a voice note through Speakpipe! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGrief Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

Send us a textToday we're chatting with Adam Zuckerman of Buried in Work, an incredible resource that simplifies estate planning, end-of-life tasks, and estate transitions.Might not sound like the sexiest topic in the world, right? I totally get it. But this is IMPORTANT stuff here. I speak from my own experience of going through a three year probate process after my parents died. And let me tell you, that hands down made my grieving experience worse. There were things that came up that I never wanted to deal with—or never thought I would have to. But that's the nature of grief, and the consequences of estate planning that wasn't at the level it should have been.In this episode, Adam shares his emotional journey of the passing of his father that led him to create Buried in Work, and shares poignant advice and wisdom about the non-linear progress of grief.And of course, we dig into the importance of estate planning, end-of-life tasks, and estate transitions in a way that's actually fun and interesting. This episode will leave you with so many resources and easy ways to implement these things in your own life, or the life of a loved one.Connect with Adam & Buried in Work:https://buriedinwork.com/https://www.instagram.com/buriedinwork/Learn more about my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Experience: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-griefWork with me: 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief Explore the membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further: Leave a voice note through Speakpipe! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGrief Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

Send us a textIn light of the devastating fires in Los Angeles, I couldn't help but acknowledge this with special episode of the Life With Grief Podcast.As a Northern Californian who's no stranger to fires and other natural disasters, this episode is not only about acknowledging the tragedy that continues unfolding and showing love to the thousands upon thousands of people affected, but to address the overwhelming grief, loss, and trauma that come with such natural disasters.As encouraging as it is to see people coming together to provide relief, I also see a lack of empathy and quick judgments in many cases. It's more than just losing material items. Things that, on paper, could be easily replaced. It's livelihoods, communities, schools, homes, sentimental items, and places of comfort that are gone within a matter of hours.Today is all about the importance of compassion, the need to acknowledge the depth of this tragedy, and understanding how grief like this runs so much deeper than we realize.How to support fire relief efforts:California Fire FoundationDirect ReliefRed Cross Fire ReliefWildfire Recovery FundLos Angeles Fire Department FoundationPasadena HumaneAmerican Red Cross: LA RegionLearn more about my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Experience: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-griefWork with me: 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief Explore the membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further: Leave a voice note through Speakpipe! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGrief Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

Send us a textFrieds, I'm beyond honored and excited to share the story of Zachariah Thompson of The Scatter Joy Project with you today.Without giving away too much of his story, Zach's first experience with grief was when he lost his beloved uncle, Joe, when he was in 7th grade. That, and a very frightening health scare with his mom when he was 22.Aside from having countless commonalities and a really special bond with his uncle, Zach also inherited ARVC—a hereditary heart condition that would alter his life as he knew it.In this episode, Zach and I are digging into not only his profound story, but the dual nature of grief—grieving for lost versions of oneself, and this paradoxical grief of receiving a second chance at life. This, on top of losing dear loved ones as we both have.Zach elaborates on the emotional spectrum we can feel as we're grieving, ranging from anger and resentment to gratitude, all while emphasizing how these experiences have transformed his life into a profound purpose in his work within mental health with The Scatter Joy Project.I first became familiar with The Scatter Joy Project through Instagram, ended up sharing a bunch of their content because it's SO good, and from there I just knew I had to have Zach on with us. I know you'll love this episode as much as I do.Connect with Zach & The Scatter Joy Project:Website: https://thescatterjoyproject.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/thescatterjoyproject/IG: https://www.instagram.com/zachariah.thompson/Learn more about my 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Experience: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-griefWork with me: 14-Day Relief in Your Grief Challenge: https://lossesbecomegains.com/relief-in-grief Explore the membership: https://lossesbecomegains.com/membership Work with me one-on-one: https://lossesbecomegains.com/work-with-tara Connect with me further: Leave a voice note through Speakpipe! https://www.speakpipe.com/LifeWithGrief Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lossesbecomegains/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithgriefpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/losses.become.gains Website: https://lossesbecomegains.com/ Shop the LBG Daily Journal: https://lossesbecomegains.com/journal By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of Tara Accardo, or used by Tara Accardo with permission.

Send us a textIt's the first episode of 2025—get excited, y'all!Today, we're focusing on entering the new year while still navigating the challenges and emotions of grief, because they didn't miraculously go away at the strike of midnight on December 31st, right?This chat centers on the difficulties us grievers face day in and day out, but especially when approaching a new year without a loved one.
