In June 2016, Karen Ristevski vanished from her home. Her husband, Borce, told their daughter she had gone for a walk and never returned. For months, police and family searched in vain. Then, in February 2017, hikers stumbled upon her skeletal remains in a quiet nature reserve. Police pieced together CCTV footage and phone records, leading to Borce’s arrest. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2019, after prosecutors were unable to prove intent. Now, 7NEWS Investigations Editor Alison Sandy is digging deeper, not just into Karen’s case, but into a disturbing pattern: women whose deaths could have been prevented or discovered earlier, had the warning signs of escalating intimate partner violence been recognised sooner.

In this episode, we explore the emotional complexities that brides often face immediately after their wedding day, a phase that I refer to as “The Hangover Effect.”The concept of a hangover, much like the aftermath of a night out with friends, serves as a potent metaphor for the unpredictable emotions that can surface post-wedding. While many anticipate a seamless transition into wedded bliss, it's common to wake up feeling elated yet disoriented, grappling with questions about what went right and what may have gone awry.I dive into the intricacies of post-wedding feelings that many may not expect. This episode is dedicated to unpacking the powerful mix of joy, regret, confusion, and sadness that can emerge during those initial days and weeks following the celebration.What you'll learn from this episode:Grieving the uncontrollableBeing kind to your past selfSeeking meaning in the chaosFeatured on the show:Follow me on Instagram to learn more about navigating your wedding with grace and ease: https://www.instagram.com/karaghassabeh/Check out **The Bridal Prep Academy:** https://karamaureen.comLet's connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KaraMaureenBridalCoachingGet your copy of the book, **Whispers to a Bride:**https://www.amazon.com/Whispers-Bride-handle-stress-drama/dp/B0BCRXBQFN/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UXWJVJOF3MNI&keywords=whispers+to+a+bride&qid=1662643892&sprefix=whispers+to+a+bride%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-1

What if the loss you're carrying doesn't have a name — no death, no disaster, just a quiet, persistent ache that something was always missing? In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll look at Gate Four of our grief series: What We Expected But Did Not Receive. Drawing from Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow, we'll explore the grief that comes from never being fully welcomed, seen, or celebrated for exactly who you are — a loss so subtle it often masquerades as personal failure. This episode offers a deeply compassionate and scientifically grounded look at why so many of us feel vaguely unfulfilled and how we can actually do something about it. Spoiler: it starts with grieving what you were owed. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

Grieving the Holy Spirit brings great calamity to a person. Being led by the Spirit of God shows we are sons of God (Rom. 8:14).Why did God become an enemy of Israel?I shall make mention of the loving kindnesses of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has granted us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His loving kindnesses. For He said, "Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely." So He became their Savior. In all their affliction, He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His mercy, He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them (Isa 63:7-10).Wow! Because Israel rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, God turned Himself into their enemy. What do we learn? Do NOT grieve the Holy Spirit!Read more here.Support the show

No one tells you what becoming a parent actually feels like. Not the baby registry, not the birth plan—but the identity shift, the relationship changes, the loneliness, grief, and joy that cracks you open. In this solo, Lindsey shares what she genuinely wishes someone had told her before becoming a mom. From nervous system overload + sleep deprivation to partnership strain + matrescence (the emotional + psychological transformation of motherhood), Lindsey pulls back the curtain on early parenthood. This isn't about fear—it's about truth. The discomfort, the rewiring, the ego death, and the profound expansion that comes with raising a child. If you're a new mom, thinking about becoming a parent, or deep in your own identity shift in your 30s, this episode will make you feel seen. It's honest, grounding, and deeply reassuring: you're not doing it wrong—it's just that big of a transformation. We also talk about: Why motherhood expands your capacity for discomfort The nervous system rewiring that happens after having a baby Intrusive thoughts + heightened sensitivity in early motherhood Relationship changes after a baby (+ the Gottman research on partnership dips) Why you don't “go back” to your old self—and why that's freeing Matrescence + identity loss in your 30s Grieving your old life while loving your child How motherhood ruthlessly edits your priorities Perfectionism in parenting + attachment research truths Emotional availability vs. “doing it right” Loneliness in early motherhood + building your village Reparenting yourself while raising your child Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Our Place | Visit https://www.fromourplace.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 for 10% off sitewide.  Fatty15 | Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to https://www.fatty15.com/ALMOST30 and use code ALMOST30 at checkout.  Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

In this episode, Alissa returns to the podcast to share what life looks like 8 years after her daughter Anna was stillborn. If you want her full story, go back and listen to Episode #52 — we recorded that one 2.5 years ago, and hearing the evolution between then and now is powerful.  We talk honestly about grief life then vs now, how pain shifts but never disappears, and what it looks like to rebuild identity, perspective, and purpose after loss. Alissa opens up about parenting after stillbirth, navigating layered grief after losing her sister the year before Anna, and the unexpected “gifts” our babies leave behind — even when the journey is brutally hard.  If you're newly walking this path, this episode offers real perspective on how things can change over time… while still honoring the parts that never will. And if you're wondering how to keep your baby present as the years move forward, her insight is deeply grounding.  Alissa has always been incredibly transparent, and I'm so grateful our paths crossed early in my own journey.

In this episode of The Addicted Mind, we dive deep into the world of experiential therapy with Steve Buckby, a seasoned therapist with over 50 years of experience. Steve shares his profound insights into the Virginia Satir Model and how its principles of change, the "Mandala," and the "Iceberg" can be powerful tools for those struggling with addiction.We explore the idea of addiction as a "lover" that must be grieved, the necessity of walking through chaos to find a new status quo, and why the relationship between therapist and client is a collaborative journey of human-to-human connection.Key TakeawaysThe Process of Change: Change isn't a straight line; it requires moving from a familiar (even if painful) status quo, through a "foreign element" that sparks chaos, and finally into a new, healthier balance.Addiction as a "Lover": Recovery often involves a grieving process similar to the stages of grief described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Letting go of a substance is often like losing a significant, albeit toxic, relationship.The Satir Mandala: Understanding the physical, intellectual, emotional, sensual, interactional, nutritional, contextual, and spiritual dimensions of ourselves to find true balance.Vulnerability & Connection: Addiction thrives in isolation. Healing begins when we take the risk to be "real" and vulnerable within a supportive community or therapeutic relationship.Education as Empowerment: Understanding the physiology of addiction helps separate the person from the "ism," reducing shame and fostering self-forgiveness.Understanding the Satir ModelSteve explains that human beings naturally seek a Status Quo. In addiction, that status quo is the cycle of use. To break it, a "Foreign Element" (a crisis, a choice, or an intervention) must disrupt the system.The Stages of TransformationOld Status QuoThe familiar, predictable way of living (even if dysfunctional). Foreign ElementAn event or realization that makes the old status quo no longer viable.ChaosThe "limbo" period where old patterns don't work and new ones aren't yet formed. Integration Learning new strategies and internalizing resources. New Status Quo A state of higher functioning, self-compassion, and awareness.The "Iceberg Theory"Steve also touches on the Iceberg Theory, which suggests that behavior (the tip of the iceberg) is driven by much deeper levels of feelings, perceptions, expectations, yearnings, and the "Self.""The story is not the problem; the meaning of the story is really important." — Steve BuckbyBy shifting the meaning we give to our past trauma and choices, we can move from shame to positive-directional change.About Our Guest: Steve BuckbySteve Buckby is a certified social worker and licensed professional counselor based in Escanaba, Michigan. Practicing since the early 1970s, Steve has dedicated his career to outpatient and inpatient care, as well as teaching the experiential methods of Virginia Satir to the next generation of healers.Connect with Steve:Email: sbucb@charter.netResources MentionedVirginia Satir Global NetworkThe Kübler-Ross Stages of GriefMindfulness PracticesEnjoyed the show?

There's a version of your child that no longer exists. You have the photos. You remember exactly who they were before. That person is gone — and you're not allowed to grieve them because they're still breathing. Psychologists call it ambiguous loss. When someone is physically present but psychologically absent. No funeral. No closure. Just an infinite middle where hope and despair take turns destroying you. Rob and Michele Reiner lived inside that for seventeen years. The Nick who existed before the drugs, before manipulation became his entire operating system, vanished long before December 14th. They made a movie with him in 2015 about recovery. Press tours about healing. Nick later admitted he wasn't sober during any of it. The redemption was a performance. Rob and Michele were in the audience believing it was real — grieving a loss they thought had ended, only to have it reopen when the truth surfaced. That's how the cycle works. Every glimmer of the person you remember makes their absence sharper when it disappears again. Hope becomes torture because it won't let you settle into the loss. And the lies you tell yourself aren't stupidity — they're survival. "This time is different." "Nobody understands them like I do." "They didn't mean it." "If I stop trying, I'm the bad one." These are frameworks your brain builds to keep functioning when reality becomes unsurvivable. Rob said at a Christmas party that he was petrified of his son. That's not full denial. That's a man who sees the truth and is trying to survive it anyway. Knowing and accepting are different things. You can see exactly where the story ends and still not act — because acting means releasing the last hope that holds your world together. This episode is for anyone who's ever grieved someone who's still alive. That grief is real. And you weren't foolish for believing the lies. You were surviving.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #TrueCrime #AmbiguousLoss #GrievingTheLiving #AddictionFamily #Denial #LovingSomeoneDangerous #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Guthrie family spent seventeen days in a psychological vise — grieving a mother whose fate they don't know, while the internet decided they were suspects. Annie Guthrie was the last person to see Nancy alive. That made her a target. Her husband Tommaso was with her. That made him a target. Savannah posted emotional video appeals. Commenters debated whether her tears were real. It took until yesterday for Sheriff Chris Nanos to state publicly that every family member has been cleared — and to call the online accusations what they are: cruel.On True Crime Today, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychological dimensions of the Guthrie family's ordeal that go far beyond the missing person case itself. Scott — a licensed clinician with thirty years of experience in trauma recovery and forensic mental health — explains the concept of ambiguous loss, the sustained psychological torment of not knowing whether a loved one is alive or dead, and why research shows it can be more psychologically damaging than confirmed death.She examines the specific trauma of public suspicion — what it does to a person's sense of self to be accused by thousands of strangers based on nothing but proximity to a timeline. She addresses the compounding effect of institutional helplessness: watching evidence get contaminated, footage take ten days to retrieve, DNA get sent to the wrong state for processing — all while the clock runs on your mother's survival — and having absolutely no power to make any of it go faster or better.Scott also takes on the question most people don't want to hear: clearing someone's name doesn't clear the psychological record. The accusations live on in screenshots, archived threads, and the memories of people who never saw the follow-up. The family may carry the psychological weight of false suspicion long after the investigation closes — alongside whatever outcome the case itself delivers.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #FamilyCleared #OnlineAccusations #AmbiguousLoss #GriefAndSuspicion #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers #FamilyTraumaJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this listener series episode, Kayleigh sits down with Nicola, a physician who shares her own experience with birth trauma, placenta previa, a massive hemorrhage, and a terrifying NICU journey with her son. Nicola opens up about what it's like to be on the other side of medicine, how “knowing too much” can increase anxiety, and the deep loneliness that can come with traumatic birth and a NICU stay. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating birth trauma, NICU life, or the long road of healing afterward.In this episode, we talk about:

For seventeen days, the Guthrie family has lived inside a psychological nightmare with no exit. Their mother — 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie — was taken from her Tucson home in the middle of the night. They don't know if she's alive. They don't know who took her. And while they've been navigating that impossible uncertainty, strangers on the internet have been dissecting their grief, analyzing their body language, and publicly accusing them of involvement in their own mother's disappearance.Annie Guthrie and her husband Tommaso Cioni dropped Nancy off at 9:50 p.m. on January 31st. Hours later, she was gone. That single fact — being the last to see her — turned them into targets of online suspicion before investigators had named a single person of interest. It took seventeen days for Sheriff Chris Nanos to publicly state what the family already knew: they are victims, not suspects.In this episode of Hidden Killers Live, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the layered psychological trauma the Guthrie family is enduring. Scott has spent thirty years working with trauma survivors and victims of violence, and she explains what ambiguous loss — the experience of losing someone without knowing their fate — does to the human mind over the course of weeks. She addresses the specific cruelty of being publicly suspected while privately grieving, the psychological cost of watching the investigation fumble in real time with no power to intervene, and whether public exoneration can actually repair the damage that public accusation inflicts on a person's sense of self.She also explores what happens psychologically to someone like Savannah Guthrie — whose professional identity is built on composure and control — when both are stripped away simultaneously, in front of millions of people. And she confronts the hardest question of all: whether the family can emerge from this kind of sustained psychological siege without permanent damage, regardless of how the case ends.This is not speculation about the case. This is a clinical examination of what the case is doing to the people at its center.#NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #GuthrieFamily #AmbiguousLoss #FamilyTrauma #PublicSuspicion #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #GriefUnderScrutinyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Grief is one of the most misunderstood parts of betrayal recovery — especially for couples who are choosing to stay.In this episode, Hali Roderick explores how grief shows up differently for betrayed partners and betraying partners, why couples often feel out of sync in the healing process, and how the APSATS Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model (MPTM) helps couples navigate grief in the post-traumatic growth phase.You'll learn why “parallel grief” is normal, how grief becomes a relational stressor, and what healthy shared grieving can actually look like after infidelity and betrayal trauma.This episode offers practical conversation prompts, trauma-sensitive insight, and hope for couples learning how to stay human together in the aftermath of betrayal.Listen to my other episodes on grief that I mention in the episode:#146 Grief After Betrayal: What Men Lose—and Why It Matters for Healing#21 The Grief Nobody Talks About After Betrayal (Coming 2/23/26)#22 Part 1: The Early Grief Phases You Didn't Expect After Betrayal (Coming 3/2/26)#23 Part 2: From Grief to Growth Part 2 (Coming 3/9/26)Connect With Me + Continue Your HealingIf today's episode resonated with you, you don't have to walk the healing journey after betrayal alone.

Episode 406: It was a bright Sunday late-morning, on May 31, 2015, in Calgary, Alberta, when a passerby heard a bang inside an airport‑area parkade and saw smoke pouring from the trunk of a black Acura. The car was still running, licence plate gone, still aflame as firefighters moved in, and a bystander quietly filmed a lone man walking away, glancing back at the burning vehicle. When investigators opened the doors, they found no driver, but blood soaked into the driver's seat, the door, and the back seat, telling them someone had bled heavily inside that car. The Acura was registered to a 42‑year‑old limo driver, Dwayne Demkiw, who lived three hours north in Edmonton and hadn't been seen since he finished a late shift around 4 a.m. that same morning. While his friends frantically called his phone and posted online, police in two cities were starting to realize they might be dealing with something far worse than a stolen car.

Grief doesn't mean your faith is failing.
And believing doesn't mean you stop hurting.In this vulnerable episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense opens up about processing loss, emotional triggers, and trusting God during seasons of deep grief. Recorded during a weekend filled with memories tied to tragedy, this conversation explores how faith and sorrow can exist at the same time.If you've ever wondered:* Why does the pain resurface?* Why do anniversaries hit so hard?* Is something wrong with my faith because I'm still grieving?* How do I silence the negative voice during loss?This episode walks through the tension between grief and belief — and how trusting God in suffering doesn't mean suppressing your emotions.Grieving is not weakness.
It's evidence that you loved.
And believing in the middle of grief is spiritual maturity.* How to process grief in a healthy, faith-centered way* The difference between emotional triggers and spiritual decline* How to handle grief as a Christian* Why God's peace is not the absence of pain* How the negative voice attacks during vulnerable seasons* Biblical meditation (Joshua 1:8) in seasons of loss* Finding purpose in pain without rushing healingCan you allow yourself to grieve — and still trust God?Joshua 1:8 — Meditating on truth in seasons of uncertainty.Listen to Mind BullySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1l0FZP7IfsKKT19tSICklX

In this episode, I'm answering your questions — the real ones. The ones you sent me quietly on Instagram. The ones that sit heavy in your chest at 2am. We're talking about: – Have I actually found joy again… without constantly thinking my baby should be here? – How to handle not getting grace from the people around us – What to do when you feel like your body failed you – Navigating strained relationships after stillbirth – Trying to conceive again (TTC) and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it – Regrets about hospital decisions and the “what ifs” that won't let go – Pregnancy after loss (PAL) and living in two realities at once – The anger that comes with feeling like you have to “start over” Nothing is off limits here. I share what this has looked like in my own life — the messy middle, the guilt, the growth, the perspective shifts that took years to land. I don't offer perfect answers, because there aren't any. But I do offer honesty. If you've ever wondered whether joy is allowed… If you've wrestled with resentment toward your body… If your relationships changed and you don't recognize them anymore… If you're TTC again while terrified… This episode is for you. You're not dramatic. You're not broken. You're grieving. And I'm right here with you. ❤️‍

Steve's turning 50. I just turned turning 40.This isn't a “new decade, new me” episode. It's more tender than that. For me, there's been grief. Grieving parts of myself from the past. Versions of me that won't be coming forward into this next chapter, and if I'm really honest, even pre-mourning what's to come.Sadness has been the emotion I've been honouring this week. I've just let it be there.For Steve, it's different. He's more aware of time, how he's spending it, how joyful his life actually feels and how he could inject more joy into whatever time he has left.We're both asking: What matters now? What needs to be let go? What needs to be chosen more intentionally?This episode is a very honest reflection of where we're at. No big answers. Just two people in transition, supporting each other, looking at time, identity, joy, and meaning a little more closely.If you're in a season of change, this will feel familiar.Read my book, Authentic - coming home to your true self - AUS, EUR, USAAuthentic The Program - sign up hereCoach with me 1:1 - Book a 20-minute call nowThe Good Life - sign up nowOne-day retreat - April 24th, 2026Write into us - let us know what you want to hearWelleCo - use code KAT15 for 15% off welleco.com.auwww.katjohn.com.auSupport the show

Is your marriage fraying under trauma's weight? Grief looks different for each of you, perhaps as one withdraws, the other controls, and resentment builds. You misread coping as rejection. But understanding trauma responses changes everything. Sarah and Matt Hammitt of Sanctus Real share raw lessons from their critically-ill child's fight. These two know faithfulness isn't a feeling; it's the hard step that redeems connection when hope feels thin. They'll help you stay connected and redeem the wounds.

In today's episode, we're covering a topic that isn't often spoken about, but is estimated to affect around one in four families: family estrangement. It's a subject that writer and Irish Times contributor Laura Kennedy wrote about recently in her Substack, detailing the complicated grief she experienced following the death of her father late last year - a man she hadn't seen in over a decade. In today's episode, Kennedy joins Róisín Ingle to reflect on the strange, unsettling reality of losing a parent whose death changes almost nothing in her daily life. You can find her piece on family estrangement on Substack here https://lkennedy.substack.com/But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including France's ‘Handmaid's Tale' moment and a revealing confession made by an Olympic athlete at the winter games this week.

A fatal shooting in Texas is now charged as murder after a dispute over French fries ends a teenager’s life inside a Fort Worth apartment. A Kentucky couple now faces homicide charges more than a year after telling doctors their pregnancy ended in miscarriage, only for police to later find an infant’s body outside their home.

We all walk through different seasons of life, and Father Dave welcomes Sister Colleen Gibson to discuss accompanying those in times of grief. Sister Colleen belongs to the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Joseph, and co-hosts the "Beyond the Habit" podcast. She currently serves as the Coordinator of Pastoral Care at St. John-St. Paul Catholic Collaborative in Wellesley, MA, where among many things she helps run a bereavement ministry called "Seasons of Hope."  

Elizabeth Klug is a mother, wife, and realtor whose story is shaped by the unimaginable—and the love that remains. She and her husband are both BRCA2 gene carriers, and they lost two of their four children to Fanconi anemia, a rare and fatal genetic condition. In this raw and powerful conversation, Elizabeth shares what it's like to parent through grief, how she and her husband survived the strain of repeated loss, and why she still proudly says she's a mom of four.Heather and Elizabeth talk about marriage, advocacy, and the pressure to stay strong when your world has been shattered. They explore the complex emotions of guilt and anger, the burden of genetic knowledge, and how Elizabeth's living children continue to bring meaning, connection, and light into her life. This conversation is deeply honest, heartbreaking, and full of hard-earned wisdom from a woman learning to live alongside grief.Resources & Ways to ConnectLearn more about Fanconi anemia:https://www.fanconi.org/Jake's Help from Heaven Website: http://jakeshelpfromheaven.org/Jake's Help from Heaven Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jakeshelpJake's Help from Heaven Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jakeshelpAPOY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplaceofyespodcastHeather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathersstraughterOur YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@aplaceofyespodcast

In this week's episode of Therapy Works, I'm joined by Charlotte Bellamy, who speaks with extraordinary openness about the death of her son Finn, who was stillborn at 28 weeks. Charlotte takes us through the shock of reduced movements, the devastating moment she was told “there's no heartbeat”, and the surreal reality that even in loss, you still have to give birth. We talk about the grief of missing the baby you'd imagined, alongside the trauma of what happens medically and physically, and Charlotte shares how her sister, a midwife, supported her and her husband Milo through those first unbearable days and helped them create precious memories with Finn. We also explore how Charlotte and Milo grieved differently, why therapy and understanding the body's response to grief helped, and how fear can shape everything that comes after. Charlotte describes the marathon of pregnancy after loss and the practical ways she protected herself, from having someone with her at scans to telling staff upfront what she needed. At the end, Sophie and Emily join me to reflect on the importance of support, naming, and speaking about the baby who has died, because using Finn's name and remembering him isn't “bringing it up”, it's honouring a life that mattered.If Only If create beautifully made nightwear that feels thoughtful, timeless, and deeply comforting at the end of the day.

I think we must shift the focus away from seeking "closure"—a misleading term—to the active process of adjusting to a new reality. The work emphasizes that while grief is a complex physical and emotional disruption, real healing is about adjusting to a new normal where they are still present in your heart, but your life continues to grow.

Resentment doesn't always look like anger. In addiction recovery and betrayal healing, it often shows up quietly—through defensiveness, withdrawal, or feeling controlled.In Part 3 of our Resentment series, we explore:Why sharing resentment too early can emotionally burden your partnerHow resentment forms underneath shame, fear, and loss of controlThe role of emotional containment in creating real safetyWhy empathy without boundaries is harmfulHow deeper emotional work reduces defensiveness and prevents relapseChapters00:24 Understanding Resentment in Recovery02:05 Timing and Responsibility in Sharing Resentment04:13 Containment and Emotional Regulation06:14 Common Triggers of Resentment06:54 Parts Work and Internal Conflicts11:25 Empathy, Boundaries, and Emotional Maturity22:15 Grieving and Letting Go of the Past27:13 Benefits of Deep Emotional WorkRegister Now!

In this episode of Life Beyond Clinical Practice, Dr. Diane Van Staden explores the theme of career grief, particularly focusing on the emotional turmoil that arises when one's professional life no longer aligns with personal identity and fulfillment. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging this grief, understanding its implications, and allowing oneself to reflect on the changes in one's career path. The episode encourages listeners to embrace their feelings and recognize that caring about their future is a vital part of the awakening process. Takeaways This episode is part of a sequential series intended for deep reflection. Career grief is a quiet loss that many health professionals experience. Grieving a career while still in it is a real and valid experience. Grief is about identity and belonging, not just the work itself. Ignoring grief can lead to fatigue and disengagement. Acknowledging grief can lead to clarity and self-respect. You can hold both gratitude for the past and grief for the present. Grief does not require immediate decisions, just acknowledgment. Reflection on what you are grieving can lead to personal insights. Caring about your future is essential for personal awakening.   TAKE ACTION: Download the Awakening Series Reflection worksheet https://docs.google.com/document/d/10RQ3mwub3WhH1Qy34unIWxLaMCazLjwoPCQNJHIfxMg/edit?usp=sharing Sign up for the Pivot Crash Course

Family estrangement is becoming increasingly common in the United States, with nearly one in four Americans now estranged from at least one close family member. In this episode of the Feel Free Again Podcast, I sit down with grief recovery specialist Victoria to have a deeply honest, nuanced conversation about why family estrangement happens, when it may be necessary, and when it may actually be causing more harm than healing. We talk about unresolved grief, emotional pain, mismatched values, expectations, boundaries, forgiveness, and the cultural shifts that have changed how families relate to one another. I share what I've seen after working with hundreds of people in grief recovery — adult children, parents, siblings — all heartbroken, often good people on both sides of the estrangement. We explore how unfinished emotional business, misunderstood boundaries, and unspoken expectations can quietly dismantle relationships, sometimes without either side fully understanding why. This conversation is not about shaming anyone for choosing distance. It's about clarity, emotional responsibility, and reclaiming your agency. Grief recovery offers tools to help you assess whether estrangement is protecting you — or whether unresolved pain is driving decisions that don't align with who you truly are. If you're navigating family conflict, estrangement, forgiveness, or emotional healing, this episode will challenge you to slow down, reflect, and consider a different path forward. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 — Why Family Estrangement Is Rising 05:12 — Cultural Shifts and the Breakdown of Family Systems 09:47 — Expectations, Boundaries, and Planned Disappointments 14:01 — The Danger of Acting on Incomplete Emotional Pain 18:48 — Taking 1% Responsibility and Reclaiming Power 23:32 — Why Forgiveness Isn't Weakness 28:23 — When Boundaries Become Emotional Walls 33:56 — The Grief of Parents Estranged From Adult Children 39:46 — Love, Acceptance, and Letting Others Choose 45:12 — How Grief Recovery Helps Heal or Clarify Estrangement 47:12 — Detoxing From Collective Drama Before Family Gatherings 50:47 — Teaching Kids Responsibility for Their Own Feelings 53:26 — Grieving the Child Who Is Growing Up 1:00:55 — How to Know If Estrangement Was the Right Choice Connect with Victoria: Website: https://theunleashedheart.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoriavolk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theunleashedheartllc/ GRM Website: https://www.griefrecoverymethod.com/grms/victoria-volk About the Host:  Cole James, President of the Grief Recovery Institute, shares about the Power of Grief Recovery!

Beloved, As a intuitive and long time hypnotherapist, I've seen many testimonies that what I'm about to share is one hundred percent true and will bring you warmth, hope and love into your heart. May it hep you see the big picture from your oversoul and highest timeline. Let's jump in. No One Crosses Over the Veil - AloneDeath is the greatest lie ever told. We never truly die. The soul is eternal energy that cannot be destroyed.Souls who cross over quickly realize heaven is real. Their main message: “I'm okay—and I'm still with you.”Grieving? Notice repeating numbers, flickering lights, temperature shifts, feeling watched, vivid dreams? These are signs from loved ones saying they're at peace.Most people fear death—even believers—especially when facing illness or unwilling to leave. That fear often spreads to those left behind.Every living being has a soul. It creates deep bonds, empathy, and love—even with pets. Souls ABSOLUTELY recognize other souls.Our innocent souls are created in the spark of light, from the council of light and source - and then sent to Earth with purpose, gifts, relationships, and lessons. Your Soul's Contract is pre-meditated and unleashed with FREE WILL. When our time ends, it's a transition—not an ending.At death, the soul leaves the body. Pain, illness, dementia, physical losses stay behind. The soul emerges whole and restored.Religion is a institution of beliefs and LAWS, but are NOT divine. “Souls dont go to heaven if they dont repent, soul's get lost or cannot transition….” - its all a notion I will challenge. No one crosses alone.Loved ones, family, friends, and pets in spirit are alerted and greet you.Deathbed visions are real and documented medically.Angels and the LIGHT are seen as one releases the carnal saturation of beliefs. Fear vanishes the instant you see familiar faces. Transition feels like stepping into a vivid, peaceful dream—weightless, worry-free, fully present.Many don't realize they've passed at first—too happy reuniting. If worried about loved ones left behind, they're often shown a preview of their future to ease guilt and allow peaceful release.Souls can briefly linger during transition—see and hear the living, choose when to fully cross.Near-death experiences confirm this: freedom from pain, reunions, then return. They prove there's no true end.On the other side, souls pick personal signs—butterflies, songs, cardinals, rainbows—to reach you and ways to help—guiding love, support, and more.They stay involved—watching over big moments and tough times. Talk to them. They're eager to connect through signs, dreams, and feelings.The more you learn about the afterlife, the less fear you feel—and the stronger the connection grows. Your loved ones are always near.LOVE, KASSANDRAPS: How would your life change if you reduced daily overwhelm and improved your intuition?Step into The Light Between* Daily Insights: Sharpen focus and align actions with your truth.* A 5-Layer Path to get clear in times of stress or a daily self inquiry for growth and expansion.NEXT STEPS: 1.

Have you ever found yourself grieving something that never actually happened? A relationship you thought would look different. Support you expected to have. A season of life you believed you'd be in by now.In this episode, we talk honestly about grieving failed expectations—especially the quiet grief many women carry in adulthood, including unmet expectations in relationships with parents, delayed dreams, unanswered prayers, and seasons that didn't turn out the way we imagined.Using the story of Hannah in 1 Samuel, we explore what it looks like to grieve a holy disappointment without shame. Hannah didn't hide her pain or try to sound spiritual. She poured out her soul before God—and Scripture shows us that God did not rebuke her grief, minimize it, or rush her healing.This conversation will remind you:You're allowed to feel what you feelGod can handle the grief of what never came to beSuppressed pain doesn't disappear—it leaksSurrendered pain can be repurposed into compassion, purpose, and healingIf you've been holding it together on the outside while quietly breaking on the inside, this episode is for you. You don't have to numb, run, or pretend. God invites you to bring it all to Him and promises to meet you with grace.“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18–To connect with Lauren or to become a Supporter, visit gravetop.com and follow her @laurenahargrove on Instagram and Facebook

In this episode, Kayleigh sits down with Abigail to talk about her first birth complicated by low amniotic fluid, a late preterm induction, and a long, emotionally exhausting NICU stay, and how that experience shaped her postpartum mental health and feeding journey. Abigail also shares her second birth story, including intentional preparation, advocacy, and what it looked like to face another NICU admission without it becoming traumatic. This episode is a powerful conversation about control, grief, healing, and how trauma-informed care and support can change everything.In this episode, we talk about:

When Christina Babich's partner, Alex, died suddenly from a brain aneurysm while they were visiting his family in Italy, her world shattered in more ways than one. In addition to the grief of losing the person she loved and the future they were building together, Christina was also left to navigate the aftermath of a deeply traumatic event - one that profoundly impacted her nervous system, sense of safety, and identity.  In this episode, Christina shares what it was like to grieve a sudden, "out-of-order" death while also navigating the derealization, hypervigilance, and other ways the trauma of his death affected her. She talks about how being a "quasi widow" shaped the care and recognition she received and why platitudes about resilience and post-traumatic growth can sometimes feel alienating rather than supportive.  Christina also reflects on how her personal experience shaped her work as a psychologist specializing in grief and trauma, including the role of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), the pressure placed on people who are grieving to "transform" their pain, and the importance of being witnessed by someone who truly understands.  We discuss The difference between grief and trauma - and how they often coexist Derealization, PTSD, and nervous system responses after a sudden death What Christina means by "quasi-widow"  Why platitudes about strength and growth can feel harmful How Cognitive Processing Therapy was helpful for her Grieving lost identities, futures, and imagined lives  Finding connection with others who can relate  Living day-to-day when the future feels overwhelming  Connect with Christina Website: https://www.christinababich.com/ Substack: christinababich.substack.com

And then life took an unexpected turn.Now in her thirties, single, and deeply rooted in her faith, she shares what it looks like to live a full, meaningful, God-centered life even when the season you prayed for hasn't arrived yet.We talk about:Holding space for the desire to be a mother without letting it define your worth.Grieving a timeline you thought God promisedFinding purpose, joy, and calling outside of marriage and motherhood.What Scripture says about waiting—and what it doesn't.How serving, leading, and loving others doesn't require biological children.This episode is for women who are childfree by circumstance, who would like to be a mom one day, and are learning to trust God with the timing—without putting their lives on pause.

Stephen Miller, Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, J.D. Vance, and the entire MAGA Klan murdered Alex Pretti. They sent Bovino into early retirement, but he must be arrested, along with his agents who shot 10 bullets into Pretti, an ICU nurse for the VA who spent his life helping others. Demand the impeachment of President Stephen Miller: force Trump to throw him under the bus, too. It's a start to the demands for justice.  To honor Pretti and our work ahead, find time to grieve. We cannot power through this collective rage and anxiety without releasing it. Even the strong need to cry in the shower. If we don't sit with our grief, it will force you to. Grieving is an act of resistance. It changes you, and it plants the seeds of justice that we will use to build a better world together. To the people of Minnesota, you have created an American Maidan, standing strong against tyranny. Even Ukrainians, freezing in the cold from Russia bombing their electrical grids, see you, and are calling your movement a Maidan. To grow a real resistance, we share a message recorded by Annie, a Gaslit Nation listener in Minneapolis.  Our victory is guaranteed because our enemies are cowards who hide behind masks. America has defeated the Klan before. We must fight with urgency in a generational struggle. Join the General Strike this Friday January 31st. Divest from the corporations funding the MAGA regime–look to Cut Off the Spigot to learn how. And most importantly, stand by each other. As the people of Minnesota showed us, singing "Stand by Me" in the face of fascism: we win through our culture of care. Tonight's episode will run as usual. It's an examination on how the Church Committee Report, which exposed the mass-murdering FBI and CIA, shows us how to overcome our mass-murdering state today.  Join our community of listeners and get bonus shows, ad free listening, group chats with other listeners, ways to shape the show, invites to exclusive events like our Monday political salons at 4pm ET over Zoom, and more!
