In this episode, I dive into a topic that many shy away from: the uncomfortable truth about feeling restricted on a weight loss journey. I explain why this feeling isn't always a sign of failure, but often an essential part of transforming your relationship with food and your body. We'll explore the crucial concept of "grief" in weight loss, understanding that letting go of old habits is a necessary step towards building a sustainable new normal.If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of restriction and rebellion, this episode will offer a powerful new perspective.Topics Covered:Understanding why you feel restricted: Is it unrealistic deprivation or the discomfort of necessary change?The "gap" between your desired weight and current reality: What truly lies in that space?The essential role of grief in weight loss: Letting go of old eating habits and lifestyle choices.My personal journey: How my relationship with food has transformed, making old habits impossible.Building a "new normal": Why true consistency is about establishing new habits until they feel natural.Breaking the cycle: How to move from restriction and rebellion to lasting peace and progress.If you found value in this episode, please consider rating and reviewing the show on your favourite podcast platform.

From Krista: A few months ago, I was invited to sit with four people sharing a very different Israeli-Palestinian story than that which comes to us in headlines. They are members of the Parents Circle - Bereaved Families Forum, a very special community. It's composed of hundreds of Palestinian and Israeli families, who despite having paid the highest price of the conflict between their peoples, choose to metabolize their loss as ground of shared suffering and possible reconciliation. I'm so grateful to share that conversation with you now. You will hear their various stories of a transformation of perspective and path. You will hear me invoke a notion of "deep truth" from physics that is vividly with me in this time. Terrible ruptures and escalating violence are part of the truth of what we see ourselves capable. But they are not the whole truth, not the inevitable future. Courageous experiments in healing and transformation are also a reality of our time. In a packed room in New York City, I think we all felt like we were witnessing something unimaginable if you only judge the potentials of humanity from the extreme actions that shape what we call the news. The Bereaved Families Forum is extremism in a life-giving, heart-opening key. We left that room — and may you leave this listening — feeling a little bit healed ourselves, with a hopefulness become more magnetic and more reasonable. This event was hosted by the American Friends of the Parents Circle – Bereaved Israelis and Palestinians for Peace. My conversation partners were Robi Damelin, Arab Aramin, Mohamed Abu Jafar, and Liora Eilon. Liora, who lost her son in their kibbutz on October 7, 2023, is one of the newest members of this group.  __ Listen to Krista's original conversation with Robi Damelin and Ali Abu Awaad in the On Being podcast feed; the episode is called “No More Taking Sides”.

What happens when the strongest person in your life is gone overnight? On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, Julia Lindenthal shares how the sudden loss of her father reshaped her body, beliefs, and sense of time. This episode is for anyone navigating unexpected grief or questioning how to move forward after loss. Julia opens up about shock as a full-body experience, the unseen realities of arterial plaque, and how transforming sorrow into action helped her find meaning without denying pain.   About the Guest: Julia Lindenthal is an advocate who launched a fundraiser in her father's name to support research focused on arterial plaque and heart disease. Through her story, she encourages open conversations about grief and inner health.   Episode Chapters: 00:01 – When loss changes you overnight 02:53 – The shock of sudden death 05:07 – Health on the outside vs. inside 08:28 – Does time really heal grief? 11:07 – Grief as a full-body experience 15:27 – Turning pain into heart health advocacy 20:20 – A message of light and resilience   Key Takeaways: Grief impacts the nervous system, not just emotions.

Why do we miss someone who hurt us?In this deeply honest episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, hosts LaWayna Berry and Teresa Reiniger explore one of the most confusing layers of grief: grieving someone who caused you pain.Leaving a relationship that isn't healthy should feel like freedom — but often it doesn't. It can feel like loss, heartbreak, and the death of the future you thought you would have. LaWayna shares her personal story of divorce, trauma bonding, and the painful realization that love and harm can exist in the same relationship. Together, she and Teresa unpack the emotional complexity of attachment, the grief of lost dreams, and why protecting yourself doesn't mean you didn't love deeply.If you've ever questioned why leaving still hurts, or why you miss someone who didn't treat you well, this conversation will remind you that your grief is valid — and you're not alone.

Many of us want to trust our intuition — but it's rarely that simple. Old patterns, trauma responses, people-pleasing, anxiety, and our nervous system can all speak loudly inside us. When those voices mix together, it can feel confusing to know what's actually intuition and what's something else entirely. If you've ever looked back at a decision and thought “I should have known better,” you're not alone. Learning to trust your intuition isn't about always making the “right” choice, it's about building a relationship with yourself over time. In this episode of Moonbeaming, Sarah answers thoughtful questions from the Moon Studio community about intuition, discernment, trauma responses, and the deeper work of learning how to listen to yourself with compassion. In this episode, you'll hear: Why hindsight can make past decisions look like “mistakes” The difference between intuition and patterns like fear or people-pleasing Why we sometimes override our intuition — and what that reveals How Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work relate to intuition The role of protector parts, inner children, and nervous system responses Navigating intuition when you live with CPTSD or trauma patterns Building nervous system capacity to follow intuitive guidance How to stay connected to intuition during burnout, grief, or despair Using intuition to find support instead of forcing clarity Why some dreams we chase may not actually be ours How learning from experience turns “mistakes” into discernment The deeper question behind intuition: who you want to become If this conversation resonates with you and you'd like to go deeper into developing your intuitive voice, you may want to check out Sarah's Secret Studies: Intuition course: https://moon-studio.co/products/secret-studies-intuition-february?variant=49964951175463 Because in the end, intuition isn't about perfection, it's about learning how to listen to yourself.

We'll break down what these are, how they physically land in your body, what the Window of Tolerance really means for your day-to-day life, and what to do when you find yourself overwhelmed by stress. We'll explore super helpful theories like the tend-and-befriend stress response, the power of your hope circuit, the eternal wisdom of finding the Middle Way, and practical guidance for navigating a world that can feel relentlessly heavy.

TW: mass casualty events, pandemic, light political topicsA lot of people are asking the same quiet question: Why do I feel so heavy right now?In this episode, I unpack the concept of collective grief and why so many of us feel exhausted, anxious, numb, or on edge. You are not weak. You are not broken. You are responding to brokenness.We explore what grief actually is beyond death loss, and the kind of sorrow that never gets acknowledged publicly.If you have felt “off” for years, this conversation might connect some dots.We also look at historical patterns of collective grief, including moments like September 11 attacks, the Vietnam War, etc. Some grief was repressed. Some was transformed into movements. Where do we see those echoes now?Let's talk honestly about why navigating grief feels harder today.Want to Join the Good Grief Society?

Speaker, author, and certified medium Michelle Clare joins the conversation to share how three near-death experiences reshaped her intuition, deepened her connection to the angelic realm, and changed the way she understands grief, healing, and the human soul. Michelle reflects on messages from loved ones in spirit, angels, and lifeguides, including a powerful encounter with Mother Teresa, and explains how her background in Human Interaction Technology informs her work with clients seeking clarity and compassion.

 If you lose a spouse, you're a widow. If you lose your parents, an orphan. But we don't have the language for someone who lost a sibling – your first friend, your first ally, your first enemy (probably, at least temporarily). Grief always feels like a gut punch, but losing a sibling is a unique kind of pain that we don't talk about enough.  So today, I'm joined by Steph Wittels Wachs, former TTFA guest and sister of comedy legend Harris Wittels, who died in 2015 of an accidental overdose. We're talking about what losing a sibling means and sharing the notes, advice and insights from people who know what it's like to live in the world without their siblings.

Writer Cody Delistraty joins Vanessa to talk about his book The Grief Cure, a quest narrative through loss, myth, medicine, and modern grief culture. From the controversial diagnosis of Prolonged Grief Disorder to the American obsession with “getting over it,” Cody argues against the promise of closure, for something far messier (and more human).

What do you do when the person you built your life around is suddenly gone?In this deeply moving episode, Glenn and Phyllis sit down with Eric — husband, father of 10, and Connection Codes community member — to talk about what happens when grief, identity loss, and emotional isolation collide. Eric's wife Nicole passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack just after the New Year, leaving him a single father navigating the unimaginable.But this isn't just a story about loss. It's a story about what tools, community, and the courage to be emotionally vulnerable can do — even in the darkest seasons.In this episode, you'll hear:Why grief cannot heal in isolation — and what it actually needs to move throughHow Eric tracked his emotional connection with his wife through selfies (the data will surprise you)What losing a spouse does to your sense of identity — and why that part often goes unspokenThe difference between grief that gets witnessed and grief that stays buriedHow men are conditioned to suppress emotion — and what it costs them and their kidsWhat Eric's kids said to him that changed how he showed up as a dadWhy Eric drove to Tennessee to be with a community of people he'd never met in personResources mentioned:Get your free Core Emotion Wheel → www.connectioncodes.co/podcastWork with a Connection Codes certified coach → connectioncodes.co/coachesLearn more about the School of Connection → connectioncodes.coKeywords: grief and emotional health, healing from loss, marriage and identity, emotional intelligence tools, how to grieve in community, men and vulnerability, mental health after loss, relationship emotional wellness, grief and parenting, connection and healing, emotional resilience, marriage and loss

Childhood is supposed to be filled with good times and laughs—but of course, some children may experience a significant loss during their childhood or adolescence. It's actually more common than you might think. According to the Childhood Bereavement Estimation Model, as of 2021, one in 14 American children will experience the death of a parent or sibling before the age of 18. Still, it's not easy to talk about grief with adults, let alone kids—but as the key adults in our children's lives, we need to be able to step in and navigate ethe thoughts and feelings that they are experiencing as they cope with their loss. They likely will have many questions when a grandparents, parent, sibling or other close family member or friend dies. They might wonder if they are at fault, if they are safe and who will make their grilled cheese sandwich and take them to soccer if the person who passed away was the one who did those things for them. When we shut down, don't talk about grief and death with kids or make the mistake of assuming if they aren't talking about it, they must be fine, kids can wind up filling in their questions with their own answers based on misunderstandings and incorrect information. We need to help them get the conversation going through a variety of techniques that allows them (and also us!) to manage grief in productive ways. We've discussed talking about death and grief with Joe Primo, in the past, and we've talked about suicide with Dr. Dan Reidenberg and Dr. Jonathan Singer—and now we will discuss grief through a new lens with Katie Lear who uses child-friendly activities to comfort kids and help them to overcome sadness, fear and loss. The post How to Talk to Kids about Managing Childhood Grief with Katie Lear- ReRelease appeared first on Dr Robyn Silverman.

In this episode, Laura talks with bereaved mom Jody Hudson, whose daughter Alex died at the age of 22 after a long battle with undiagnosed Lyme disease. Jody shares the heartbreaking journey of watching her daughter suffer through years of unanswered medical questions and treatments, and the deep grief that followed Alex's death. Yet in the midst of unimaginable loss, Jody made a conscious decision not to allow grief to define her identity, but instead to seek God's direction for how to move forward.  Through faith, honest conversations with God, and a desire to honor Alex's life, Jody found purpose in helping others, including starting a foundation to support Lyme disease patients. Her story offers encouragement for grieving parents who feel lost in the darkness, reminding them that while grief is real and lasting, it does not have to define their future. With God's help, it is possible to carry our children with us while still finding meaning, hope, and purpose again.  Jody Hudson is a faith-filled mother, author, and speaker who shares hope from the depths of loss. After walking alongside her daughter Alex through years of medical uncertainty (which was correctly diagnosed as Lyme disease in 2017), Jody now speaks honestly about grief, identity, and choosing how we show up after life-altering loss. She is the author of My Promise to Alex, an award-winning memoir woven with themes of faith, resilience, and a mother's enduring love. Jody encourages grieving parents to trust God, move forward with purpose, and remember that grief may shape us, but it does not define us.  (Note: The views and opinions of our guests outside of this podcast may not be in agreement with GPS Hope.)

Grief is not something we choose — and yet it often becomes one of life's most powerful teachers. In this episode, Tim reflects on the quiet lessons grief can offer without suggesting the loss itself was meaningful, necessary, or something to be grateful for. This conversation honors the truth that grief is a response to love, while acknowledging how it can deepen awareness, compassion, and understanding over time — even when we never asked for the lesson.

Today’s Bible Verse: “Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.” — Lamentations 3:32 Lamentations 3:32 speaks into one of life’s hardest realities—grief.
