A meal at the dinner table with friends and family is one of the ways we can connect with people in a meaningful way. When someone dies, it's common to bring food to provide care and comfort and love. A new cookbook is helping cherish the memories of loved ones we have lost. “Good Grief! What's for Dinner?” is a collection of more than 200 recipes curated by the Grief Club of Minnesota. Annie Sperling helped put together the cookbook with her widow group at the Grief Club. She talked with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer about it.

We've been telling you a lot of stories here on the podcast about brands making big scary shifts in business, and part of the reason we're doing this is to normalize that it's okay to pivot when you need to.  In episode 342, Alyson O'Connor shared how she shut down a 6-figure revenue stream so she could focus on a revenue stream wholesale that better fit the day-to-day life she wanted. In episode 338, Kiwi Schloffel shared how she made the tough decision to exit her business, and Meghan Hopkins Sokorai talked about why she chose to acquire Kiwi's business.  On this week's episode, Janine Kwoh of Kwohtations is back on the show to talk about some big shifts she recently made to her product line to ensure that her business was not only more sustainable but also easier for her to manage.  Janine is the owner and designer of Kwohtations, a Brooklyn, New York-based line of letterpress-printed greeting cards and gifts. Kwohtations cards acknowledge and celebrate people and occasions who are often underrepresented in the card aisle. She is also the author of Welcome to the Grief Club, an illustrated book on grief for anyone who has had a loss. Janine is a PaperCamp alumnus and a community leader in our Proof to Product Labs program. She is an award-winning artist, an author, and a great friend to many in the industry. On today's episode, Janine shares how a key account ordered 4,300 hand-painted cards and how that pushed her to retire and rethink her entire product line. She talked about her decision-making process, how she prepared for the changes, and how she communicated these product changes to her customers. Today's episode is sponsored by our Unlock Buyer Secrets Interview series. To make a strong first impression with wholesale buyers, we need to do a few things really well: We need to make it easy for stores to purchase from us We need to have clear pricing and terms & conditions We need to clearly communicate and add value at each touchpoint We need to focus on building strong relationships with our customers. And all of this becomes infinitely easier when we actively listen to our customers. This on-demand interview series will give you a competitive edge by providing an exclusive window into what buyers want and need from you.

Hello and welcome back to The Shift. Somehow we're onto our 11th season and I'm thrilled to start 2023 with podcasting legend, the creator of Griefcast herself, Cariad Lloyd.If you've been unfortunate enough to join what she calls The Grief Club, chances are you've already encountered Cariad, through her conversation-changing, taboo-busting, award-winning podcast Griefcast. A much-needed place to talk about the many messy faces of grief.Now in her 40s, Cariad lost her dad, Peter, to pancreatic cancer when she was just 15. In the late 90s, nobody talked about death, let alone what it was like to join "the dead dad club" in your mid-teens. Now she's written a funny, frank book about her experience, You Are Not Alone: a new way to grieve. Cariad is also a comedian, actor, improviser and writer who has appeared on Peep Show, Have I got News For You and QI amongst others. So whilst this episode is moving, illuminating and thought-provoking, it is far from sad. I promise.Cariad joined me to talk grief (of course), how pregnancy, therapy and approaching 40 collided, doing "grief maths", why thinking about the future makes her twitchy and how she feels about approaching the age her dad died. We also compared our inner goths and she advised me on how to ask your partner if they want to be buried or scattered!You can listen to Griefcast wherever you get your podcasts.* You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including You Are Not Alone by Cariad Lloyd and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me.

How do we stop trying too hard to control others so we can finally take care of ourselves? That's what we're talking about today, and I'm really excited about our guest because she wrote the book that helped me get my life back over 15 years ago.

We will learn: The psychological reasons why we try to control. Why detachment is necessary for a healthy life and how to practice it. How to break free from the cycle of codependency so you can start caring for yourself. Do you feel like you're always the one giving and never receiving? Or maybe you feel like you're always the one doing and never being. You may not realize it, but these are signs of a codependent relationship. And if you resonate with these statements, your dependency may be around feeling in control. The thing is, we can't control other people.  All we can do is control ourselves. And when we try to control others, we are really just causing more problems. So how do we break the cycle of codependency? How do we stop trying too hard to control others so we can finally take care of ourselves? That's what we're talking about today, and I'm really excited about our guest because she wrote the book that helped me get my life back over 15 years ago.

Janine Kwoh is an artist, creator, author and story-teller, whose partner died when they were both 28 and who subsequently, has spent the last six years trying to navigate, understand and deal with, grief. It seems like this might be a heavy chat, it isn't. Janine is the owner / artist / one-person assembly line behind Kwohtations; an ever-evolving collection of greeting cards and gifts that reflect and celebrate a diversity of identities and life experiences. She is also the author of ‘Welcome to the Grief Club'; an illustrated book on grief for anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one. Janine started making cards in 2011 as a way to reflect on and honour the lives we actually lead, versus the ones we think we should. Kwohtations is essentially her life in greeting cards, in which she offers up her own truths about navigating love and loss, (re)defining family and success, and figuring out what it means to show up for ourself and others.

You might have seen her on an interview last week with Glennon Doyle- but here they are- and The Two Jess(es) get to talk to her too! One of the most exciting interviews and conversations for these two self-professed self-help junkies, the leading pioneer of the self-help movement, Melody Beattie is here to talk about the ever confusing and all consuming practice of codependence. JessB declares that she doesn't understand what codependency really truly looks like or means- and Melody assures her, no one does. However, she DOES break it down to the practice of continually loving others before loving ourselves. This conversation is a true honor, as they unpack the additional need for a chapter on trauma to be included in Melody's new edition, and reflect on the importance of true love- for one's self, as being the answer to solving the epidemic of codependence.Meet Melody!MELODY BEATTIE is the author of many bestselling books—including The Language of Letting Go, The Codependent No More Workbook, Playing It by Heart, and The Grief Club.

"Grief is not something you fix, it's something you honour." - Addison Brasil Our next guest, Addison Brasil, is no stranger to loss and has spent thirteen years in the Grief Club arena. He lost his brother to cancer, found his father after suicide, and survived a fatal accident that killed a dear friend and left him relearning to walk. And yet still when friends or family experienced loss he would freeze – not wanting to send flowers, empty condolences, or food when he knew the realities of grief are so much more. Addision shares his story, taking us through three significant and uniquely different grief processes that he's had to navigate in his life. Through his story we learn how to build a grief resilient toolkit, and how through that process he encourages us to bravely discard what we don't need. Grief is something that we all are experiencing, and Addison's gift to us all has been shared through a book (reference below) he wrote after 13 years of working through his macro grief experiences. Through this episode and via the book, it is very evident that Addison is in the grief arena with all of us.  This is such a healing epside, so don't miss one minute of it.

My guest today is Janine Kwoh, who is the owner / artist / one-person assembly line behind Kwohtations, an ever-evolving collection of greeting cards and gifts that reflect and celebrate a diversity of identities and life experiences. Janine is also the author of Welcome to the Grief Club, an illustrated book on grief for anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one. Janine started making cards in 2011 as a way to reflect on and honor the lives we actually lead, versus the ones we think we should. Specifically, Janine uses a letterpress to make her cards by hand, one by one. Her goal is to create products that encourage us to embrace the diversity, complexity, and kinship in our lived experiences. Janine's hope is always that others will recognize some of themselves in what she creates and feel a bit more seen, more connected, and less alone. We talked about grieving, making decisions, time management, what it means to honour yourself, recovery from setbacks, acceptance when things don't go as planned and designing a life that suits you, rather than doing what you think you should do or what others say you should.You can purchase Janine's beautifully handcrafted cards and her book, Welcome to the Grief Club on her website, https://kwohtations.com/Connect with Janine on Instagram @kwohtations

Shortness of breath. Tight chest. Heart palpitations. Feelings of doom. They're all common symptoms of a panic attack — something around 1 in 5 people will have experienced before. They can be super overwhelming in the moment (especially if you're on live TV, like ABC weather presenter Nate Byrne was). So, what should you do if you have one? Plus, an unofficial Instagram grief club is helping young people feel less isolated after the death of a loved one. And the murder trial over the fatal shooting of a young Indigenous man in the NT has wrapped up. Guests: Melissa Mackay, ABC News Nate Byrne, ABC News Dr Zac Seidler, clinical psychologist

After the death of her partner, Janine Kwoh began transforing her greeting card business "Kwohtations" to include condolance cards. What followed was the writing of "Welcome To The Grief Club," a book of brief observations, illustrations and diagrams that capture the absurditiy and isolating experience of grief. Janine's ability to share the hardest parts of her own process of grief with both humor and devastating truths really brings  people together to help remember the good times as well as the universal nature of what it is to lose a loved one. Get the book and follow Janine at https://kwohtations.com Follow her on IG at @kwohtations  and @Welcometothegriefclub Follow ME on IG and Twitter @WheresTheGrief

In 2016, when they were in their late twenties, Janine Kwoh's partner died. Nap's death launched her into a new world of grief. Janine was the first person in her peer group to have a partner die and she felt confused and isolated. Because we live in a world that judges relationships against external markers like engagment, marriage, parenting, and co-ownership, Janine questioned whether the intensity of her grief was valid.  In the five years since Nap's death, Janine examined her emotions and reactions through the lens of her artistry. This culminated in her new book, Welcome to the Grief Club, an illustrated mix of reflections and insights on grief and loss and joy and love. Janine Kwoh is also the owner and designer of Kwohtations, a stationery company and design studio.  Topics we cover: Dating again after a partner dies. Dealing with anxiety that someone else will die. Allowing for the intensity of grief. Building your life out around grief. Rage at the Target checkout. Being okay with having joy and love again.

My guest this week is Janine Kwoh, who has a new book called Welcome to the Grief Club. As you'll hear, Janine has her own experience with heartbreaking grief that became the basis for this book. This conversation is for you if you're dealing with your own loss of someone you loved, or if you want to learn more effective ways to help someone you love who's hurting. I know there's so much fear around saying the wrong thing, which can get in the way of really showing up for someone. Janine and I talk about how the most important thing you can do might be to let go of the idea that it's up to you to make it better. When we release that unrealistic expectation, we can be much more present for the other person. I know you'll get a lot out of this discussion.

Despite the fact that grief is one of the most universal experiences, as a society, we're not adept at talking honestly and openly about grief and loss.As a result, people who are grieving often feel isolated in their grief and surprised by the many forms it can take. They may wonder if their feelings and actions are “normal” and valid, especially if it's their first time losing someone important to them.When Janine Kwoh was in her twenties, her partner unexpectedly passed away.At the time, Janine was one of the only people she knew who had experienced such an intimate loss at such a young age.Feeling isolated, she started to write and illustrate cards as an outlet for what she was feeling and what she felt she needed to hear.Little did she know, those grief cards would quickly become the most popular products from her stationery company, Kwohtations, and now she has brought the same signature warmth, inclusivity, and humor to her book, Welcome to the Grief Club, through a mix of narrative text and illustrations about the grief experience.In this episode, we discuss, love, loss, moving forward, grief, and so much more. 

Losing a member of the family is incredibly hard, and most people need to lean on someone else to get through. When Maeveen, Edel, and Cathy McNabb lost their sister - Triona Mcnabb - they realized that the support for siblings was hard to find, if available at all. They started the Sibling Grief Club and Maeveen joined Louise to talk about it.

Every once in a while, a card maker comes along who strikes a cultural chord at exactly the moment it needs to be struck. If I'm lucky enough to spot the range early on, sitting back and watching the world fall in love with it is truly a wonder to behold. I saw this when Emily McDowell and her magnificent empathy cards came on the scene several years back. And now, although 2020 has completely sucked, it's not a complete wash for me as I've stumbled across Janine Kwoh of Kwohtations.Janine's Welcome to the Grief Club is to the sympathy category what Emily McDowell & Friends is to the thinking of you category. The Brooklyn letterpresser "makes cards as she needs them," and her range has strong themes of inclusion, representation and honesty running through it. Janine's creations help get difficult but necessary conversations started, and in the age of COVID-19, they are more relevant and prescient than ever. Who would have guessed that a card, a sticker, an art print or a care package could help us authentically connect, comfort and validate each other when we are needing it most — but that's the emotion behind every last Kwohtations sale.Janine made her trade show debut this past February in the Emerging Designer section at National Stationery Show/NY NOW, and I could barely introduce myself to her through the ever-present crowd. Now Janine is compiling the world's first illustrated book on grief for adults, with a working title of Welcome to the Grief Club, to be released by Workman Publishing in Fall 2021. Janine sits down with me to share more about her background, her work and how stationery can help us feel a bit more seen, a bit more connected, and a bit less alone.**Thank You Sponsors**Please be sure to support these all-American, women-owned houses of paper.Girl w/Knife is your incredibly sharp new stationery BFF.

Sibling Grief Club was launched in July of this year by three sisters grieving the death of their youngest sibling. Triona McNabb sadly passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in hospital on February 27, 2017.  She left behind a legacy of love, but also a family bereaved and desperate for support as they tried to navigate unchartered waters  Triona's three older sisters, Maeveen, Edel and Cathy quickly discovered that there was little or no support specifically for grieving adult siblings, who are often termed as the ‘forgotten mourners'.  For this week's podcast, Maeveen talks lovingly about her sister Triona and her kind and caring nature. She recalls the debilitating quagmire of feelings she has gone through since Triona's death, and Maeveen tells us all about Sibling Grief Club and how she hopes it helps other people like her and her sisters throughout their grief. 

Janine Kwoh is the owner, author, illustrator of stationery company Kwohtations and the forthcoming book Welcome to the Grief Club, which addresses many of the surprising, confusing, brutal, funny, and downright bizarre parts of grief.Throughout this conversation, we discuss the unexpected loss of Janine's partner, the distinct challenges of navigating grief in your 20s, the evolution of grief from day 1 to years 5 and 10, some of our most strange and inconsistent grief behaviors, moments of frustration and invincibility and, of course, some tips for those who are currently grieving and those who are supporting a loved one in this process.Resources mentioned in this episode:KwohtationsThe Dinner PartyStephen Colbert & Anderson Cooper Clip on Grief and GratitudeIf you want to follow along in our journey or check out our products, find us at our website thoughtfulhuman.co, or find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!P.S.
