Send us a textThe hardest part isn't the call. It's what your body and mind carry after the sirens fade. We go straight at the myth that strength means silence, and trade it for a practical blueprint to complete the stress cycle, name emotions without fancy language, and rebuild trust through honest conversation.Stephanie Simpson continues to share simple, fast tools first responders can use to process stress on and off scene. We break down why compartmentalizing is necessary in the moment but corrosive if it becomes a lifestyle, and how two-minute rituals—like shaking out the limbs, breath-led resets, or a quick run—help your nervous system return to baseline. When words are hard, we turn to creativity: playlists that mirror your mood, drawing the shape and color of tension, and short journaling bursts that expand emotional vocabulary over time. These practices aren't woo; they are physiology and practicality for police, fire, EMS, dispatch, and anyone supporting them.We also dig into the social side of resilience. Isolation plus workouts can numb; venting without boundaries can spiral. The solution is blending self-soothing with smart connection: candid debriefs, dark humor in safe rooms, and mentors who normalize not knowing. Stephanie explains how coaching pairs with therapy to create forward action, using energy leadership to help you lead your life with intention. For leaders and rookies alike, vulnerability becomes a performance advantage—fewer avoidable errors, tighter teams, and a lighter hidden load.If you're ready to replace “I'm fine” with tools that actually work, hit play. Then share this with your crew, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to help other first responders find these resources. Got a post-shift ritual that helps you reset?

Rev. Carrie Holley-Hurt's service delivered on November 2, 2025. Loss is an inevitable part of the human experience, and yet we often give ourselves so little time to acknowledge it or to spend time with our grief. This Sunday, we will spend some time acknowledging the loss we have experienced and the grief that has shown up in its place. Rev. Carrie Holley-Hurt leads us through a ritual of acknowledgement.

ShownotesTalking about grief brings mixed emotions. Some avoid it whereas others fully embrace it. Our guest this week is a strong believer that pain needs to be witnessed, that vulnerability is essential to being loved and loving another, and that the only way to deal with pain (and consequently grief) is to immerse oneself in the trenches of it.Carina Fraser is a Catholic widow, mother, artist, and author. At 28 years old she lost five children in miscarriages, as well as her husband in a ten month span. Her grief prompted her to start an Instagram page called @thatCatholicwidow, which she uses as a way to work through much of her loss and give words to thoughts and feelings that can often be ignored. Now two years later Carina continues to use her faith and her grief to bring beauty and comfort to those around her. She has one surviving son.Our GuestCarina Fraser is a Catholic mother, artist, and author. She was born in Toronto, Ontario and received her post-secondary education at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy in Barry's Bay, ON.

Why do some find it a place of consolation where as others may stay clear?How can social media be used to help others connect in grief? Who has been someone that has been a surprising comfort to you in your grief journey? How can you show your appreciation for them? What do you consider the time that grief “should be over?” How is Carina's story an example that anger with God does not mean abandonment? We hope you enjoy this episode of the Mourning Glory Podcast and share it with others who are on a journey through grief.

How do you navigate the inevitable storms of life? What does it truly look like to grieve the life you once envisioned?Josh Turner is no stranger to life's storms. From parenting a daughter with special needs—whose diagnosis didn't come until she was 12 years old—to enduring a painful betrayal at the church where he served as a pastor, Josh has weathered more than his fair share of hardship. Through these experiences, he began to recognize a critical need: a pathway to help pastors and leaders endure their own storms without reaching the point of burnout or moral failure.This realization led to the founding of the 10 Ten Project, a ministry dedicated to equipping pastors and leaders with the tools they need to lead well through adversity. Josh also shares his powerful personal journey in his latest book, Into the Storm: How to Face Down Any Crisis with Deep, Unshakable Faith.In this episode, Davey and Josh explore how suffering can deepen our faith, the unique challenges of raising a child with special needs and how it can effect a marriage, and what leaders need to sustain their calling in the face of crisis.If you're walking through a storm right now, this conversation is a timely reminder: no matter what you're facing, it's possible to enter the storm with a deep, unshakable faith.

This week, I spoke with Jessica Gill, Chief Content Officer at To Be Magnetic, about creativity, expansion, and what it really means to feel your feelings. We talked about grief, nostalgia, career ruts, rock bottoms, and how to get unstuck by doing the opposite of what you usually do. Jessica shares practical tools for raising self-worth, letting go of the past, and reconnecting to radical authenticity. If you've ever felt in limbo or like your old shell doesn't fit anymore, this one will hit home.Show notes:Sign up here to get a companion workbook for this episode and the next!Jessica's Instagram | YoutubeKatie's Substack | IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout  | Zine shop is here!My Creative Clinic. Book Let It Out: A Journey Through JournalingIf you liked this episode, try out from the archive:Episode 481: (RERUN) Get Better at Feeling: The Art of Emotional Expansion - Lacy Phillips on Body Image, Style, and How To Be Magnetic (EP 212)

During one of the first grief‑support group sessions that Eric and I attended in the weeks after Andy died, our Starlight Ministries facilitators led us in an exercise. We were given a black‑and‑white copy of an image created by H. Norman Wright titled "Grief – A Tangled Ball of Emotions." The picture resembled a ball of yarn, but instead of yarn strands, it had strips winding around the sphere, each labeled with a different emotion. The exercise was simple. We received crayons and were asked to color in any stripe that represented an emotion we had felt during that week. I remember starting at the top: Loss – yes, I colored it in. Sadness – that one too. Anxiety – I'd been feeling pretty anxious, so I shaded it. Then came Confusion, Panic, and Dismay. I found myself actually feeling dismayed that I was coloring all of these emotions! I wondered whether I would ever reach a stripe I didn't feel. When I finally arrived at Vindictiveness, I was relieved to leave that one white. In total, I was shocked to discover that I had colored about 90 % of the more than thirty emotions on the ball. Looking around the room, I was comforted to see that the vast majority of parents had papers that were almost completely filled in as well. While reading the recent podcast guest Michael's book The Million Stages of Grief, I saw how many emotions had surprised him in his own grieving process. That reminded me of the exercise from years ago and convinced me that it deserved a livestream discussion. Today, we explored several emotions that have surprised listeners of the show. It is normal to experience twenty to thirty different emotions in a single day. Grief isn't a linear path but a swirling knot of feelings—each one valid, each one a sign of life moving forward. By naming, acknowledging, and gently sitting with even the most unexpected emotions, we give ourselves the space to heal. I encourage everyone to keep their own "tangled ball" nearby as a reminder that, no matter how full it looks, every colored strand is evidence of resilience and progress.

The holidays can bring up strong feelings. Whether you're managing travel, disruption to regular routines, over-indulgence, or deeper issues like family conflict or loss, this time of year isn't always as magical as we perhaps imagine it to be. Today, host Rachel is joined by returning guest Diane Malaspina, yoga teacher and psychologist, to share practical suggestions on how we can better self-regulate through the holiday season. In this episode, Diane stresses the importance of making time for honest reflection on our feelings regarding this season, and shares how this process prompted one key change in her own life that created more joyful holidays. Listen to this episode to learn how a mindful approach can, slowly but surely, transform your experience of the holiday season. — Show Notes: Holiday expectation versus reality [3:08] Honest reflection on how you feel about the holidays [5:20] Cultivating awareness BEFORE the holidays arrive [9:05] Carrying imagined expectations from others [11:49] Challenge one undesirable holiday pattern [14:50] Embracing seasonal rhythms [18:47] Self-regulation micro-doses accumulate [21:37] Boundaries as self-care [30:29] Grief at the holidays [39:50] Yoga Medicine Burnout Resilience Program [47:48] Final takeaways [50:48] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube LIVE Online Burnout Resilience Program Working with Grief – Theory & Therapeutic Application of Yoga Online Course Inside the Yoga Sutras – The Path to Freedom Online Course Exploring the Niyamas through Meditation & Practice Online Course Exploring the Yamas through Meditation & Practice Online Course Previous Yoga Medicine® Podcast Episodes with Diane Malaspina, PhD: 04: Find Ease in Uncertainty 31: The Power of Intention 57: Drishti, the Potency of Our Focus – Research Roundup 121: Yoga Sutras for Modern Life Connect with Diane Malaspina PhD: Facebook | Instagram | Diane Malaspina | Yoga Medicine® Online Guest Teacher You can learn more about this episode and see the full show notes at YogaMedicine.com/podcast-148.

What happens when you have a profound loss, but no grave to visit?  In this episode, Danielle shares her unique fertility journey — one that challenges our assumptions about what "fertility struggles" look like. From the joy of welcoming her third child to the unexpected trauma that followed, Danielle opens up about grief that doesn't come with a funeral, the profound loss of her ability to have more children, and the moments when her pain felt invisible. We explore how her body carries memory and trauma, how medical care and community influenced her recovery, and the ways she has found growth and meaning in the aftermath. Danielle's story reminds us that resilience isn't about pretending nothing happened — it's about choosing how to live with it, learning from it, and finding new ways to move forward.   More about Danielle Mizrahi (LCSW): Danielle Mizrahi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C) with a private practice in West Hempstead, NY.

Bongani Bingwa checks in with Khabazela for another round of the stories lighting up social media. First up, a deeply emotional topic that’s struck a chord online — what to do with the phone number of a loved one who has passed away. Do you keep it saved as a way of holding on, or is deleting it part of letting go? Listeners share their stories of memory, loss, and love. Then, we shift gears to something lighter but all too relatable — opening car doors in parking lots. Are you careful when swinging that door open, or are you guilty of leaving a few mystery dents behind? Khabazela unpacks the viral debates, the laughter, and the lessons from both heart and humour. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Send us a textWhat if the hardest grief in your life isn't about death, but about change—leaving a team, dropping a title, or stepping away from a community that once defined you? That's where our conversation with coach and educator Stephanie Simpson begins, and it's where many first responders secretly live: in the space between who we were and who we're becoming.Stephanie shares how her evolution from dancer and teacher to professional coach reshaped her understanding of loss. We dig into why “moving on” often backfires and how “moving forward” honors what mattered while making room for growth. Instead of chasing reasons or culprits, we explore a different order of operations: feel first, then learn. Stephanie offers embodied practices—locating sensations, sculpting feelings, and observing them—to shift from intellectualizing to processing. The result isn't soft; it's strategic. Emotions become data you can use under pressure.We also reframe stress for police, fire, EMS, and dispatch. Stress isn't the enemy; unmanaged stress is. Stephanie, who teaches stress science to future first responders, explains how too much strain overwhelms and too little erodes purpose, and why internal stressors—perfectionism, shame, the inner critic—often do more damage than any single call. From Inside Out's portrayal of panic to practical reset routines, we map how to notice, name, and navigate emotions without losing your edge, at work or at home.If you've felt the ache of leaving a role, the pull to find someone to blame, or the pressure to “just get over it,” this conversation offers a more honest path.

“What if hope isn't about holding on—but about being held?” In this episode, I had the privilege to sit down with Cheri Fletcher—a writer, speaker, and flash mob aficionado—who shares the story of her daughter Annie, a vibrant young woman whose life reflected creativity, compassion, and faith.Cheri opens up about the sudden medical crisis that took Annie's life at just 29, the ache of surrendering to God's will, and the unshakable truth that we are never left to simply “hang in there”—we are held by the God who goes before us. Drawing from passages like Deuteronomy 31:8 and Isaiah 41:10, she reminds us that even when life shatters, God's presence remains steady and sure.We also talk about Cheri's new project, the Grief Communication Cards, a set of thoughtful prompts designed to help grieving families and friends talk more openly about their loved ones. Jill shares how she plans to use these cards with her own family this holiday season as a gentle way to remember and celebrate her daughter Hannah.  Use the code WAITING10 for 10% off your set!  This episode is a tender reminder that when we don't have the strength to hold on, God is the One holding us—steady, present, and faithful.Resources Mentioned:Cheri Fletcher's Website: cherifletcher.comGrief Communication Cards – use code WAITING10 for 10% offWhile We're Waiting Facebook Group – Support for Bereaved ParentsI would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

Grief changes everything. It's the kind of pain that steals your breath and reshapes your world, a weight that never fully lifts. For Stephanie Wiley, that pain runs deeper than words can express. She suddenly lost her teenage son, the boy who never missed a chance to say “I love you,” to fentanyl poisoning.In the aftermath of unimaginable loss, Stephanie found healing in an unexpected place: her kitchen. What began as therapy, a way to cope with grief one cookie at a time, has grown into her purpose. Baking has become her business, her mission, and a tribute to her son's memory, helping raise awareness about the fentanyl epidemic along the way.In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, Stephanie shares her powerful journey as she reflects on the struggle to find help for her son's substance use disorder, the fleeting joy of his recovery, and the heartbreak that followed. Through it all, she has found a way to keep his spirit alive by spreading warmth, sweetness, and hope to others who know the ache of loss.Click here to visit the Tommy's Cookie Co. website and purchase your cookies! If you enjoyed this episode, you may like the following: Choosing Love After a Hate Crime Took Her Son and FatherSurviving the holiday season while grievingWhat a mother wishes she knew before losing her son to fentanylSend us a textBehind every number is a story of a life cut short, a family shattered, and a community devastated.They were...daughterssonsmothersfathersfriendswiveshusbandscousinsboyfriendsgirlfriends.They were More Than Just A Number.

A missing laptop charger, a freezing parking lot, and a crowd of costumed kids shouldn't add up to a breakthrough—but that's exactly where the weekend took us. What started as a simple pair of charity DJ gigs turned into a lesson on composure, community, and the kind of closure you don't plan for but desperately need.We kick off with a trunk-or-treat at Arundel Ford a local Ford dealership, where a last-minute tech failure forced a full pivot: rapid setup, a sound check on a dying laptop, and the rest of the set run from a phone. Not ideal, but deeply human. That scramble revealed how staying calm under pressure can be learned, and how serving the moment matters more than a perfect playlist. Between spooky hooks and sticky fingers clutching candy buckets, we found the heart of why we do community work: show up, bring joy, be steady.The tone shifted at the second event, a masquerade fundraiser for Seeds of Hope—a resource center that feeds, warms, clothes, and guides people facing homelessness and addiction. Only moments before unloading gear, we realized the connection: this was the place that cared for my wife's mother during her hardest days. As the dance floor filled, a quiet nudge grew louder: say thank you. She found the director and shared what so few in that line of work ever hear from family—gratitude. It was a tender exchange, honest about the rough edges of addiction and unwavering about the dignity Seeds of Hope provided. That conversation, paired with a church message on forgiveness the next morning, felt like the final stitch in a long, uneven seam of healing.If you've ever juggled grief, logistics, and the urge to do right by the people who helped when you couldn't, this story will resonate. We talk about practical resilience, the grace in imperfect performances, and the sacred power of simple words spoken at the right time.

There are moments when the soul calls us forward, only to be met with waves of grief. Sophie is here with us today, navigating the tender intersection of spiritual growth and devastating loss. After ending a relationship that no longer served her, she experienced the unexpected passing of two dear friends. The mind made a painful link: that choosing herself invited punishment, and that old story rooted in childhood pain and shame began to echo louder than her soul's truth. In this session, we explore how grief and growth often arrive hand in hand, and how past programming can make us fear expansion. Sophie's field reveals the belief that vulnerability leads to punishment, and we gently unravel the ancestral and inner child wounds that contribute to this narrative. Together, we remember that grieving does not mean you're broken — it means you're human, and that letting go isn't failure, but part of your sacred unfolding. This episode is a soft, powerful invitation to move beyond black-and-white thinking, reclaim your trust in the universe, and meet yourself in the messy, beautiful middle. May it remind you that your grief is holy, your healing is valid, and your becoming is worth the unraveling.

Healing deep trauma is never a straight path; it's a brave and sacred journey back to wholeness. For spiritual guide and grief alchemist Caroline Rena, this path is illuminated by one unwavering truth: healing is possible. In this profoundly moving episode, Caroline Rena opens her heart and story, sharing her passage through childhood abuse, military trauma, inherited Holocaust pain, and the devastating experience of parental alienation. With raw honesty and deep wisdom, she reveals how somatic practices, radical self-compassion, and a commitment to elevating her energetic frequency became the keys to breaking toxic generational patterns. She also reveals how healing the nervous system not only liberates the individual but also creates a ripple effect that uplifts collective consciousness, and she speaks candidly about navigating the depths of depression and the Dark Night of the Soul—and how these trials ultimately led her to a place of divine purpose. Today, Caroline stands as a compassionate, intuitive guide for those seeking transformation, offering hope and healing to others walking the path back to themselves. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:Trauma can be macro (major events) or micro (simple events).Trauma overwhelms coping, affecting mind and body, with short or long-term impacts.Generational trauma passes down unconsciously.Military Sexual Trauma (MST) ranges from harassment to rape; the military has struggled to address it.The “Dark Night of the Soul” involves depression and hopelessness, but can spark healing.Parental alienation is painful, manipulating children to reject a parent, often in high-conflict divorces.Healing involves releasing stored trauma from the nervous system through somatic work, EMDR, and EFT.Empaths and highly sensitive people are prone to trauma but can heal and impact collective consciousness.Emotions are energy; stuck trauma prevents healing. Releasing it raises vibration.Healing is continuous, but it gets easier, allowing quicker recovery from emotional challenges.Personal healing and raised consciousness ripple outwards, influencing hundreds and driving planetary change.Gentleness, healing work, and self-love are key to joy and reducing triggers.

Grief is a language that all of us will someday be able to speak. Today, we're listening to those of us who have been crushed by digital grief. Watch us on YouTube here⁠⁠!
