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

In this episode of The Yoga Inspiration Podcast, Kino MacGregor sits down with hospital chaplain, writer, and grief expert J.S. Park for a deeply grounding conversation about grief, presence, and what it means to live with an open heart in a world that can feel overwhelming. They explore why grief is not something to fix or overcome, but something to honor, carry, and let transform over time. Kino reflects on communal grief in the Ashtanga world after the loss of a spiritual teacher, and J.S. offers compassionate insight into why we reach for solutions, why closure can be a myth, and how grief changes shape rather than disappearing. Together they talk about treasured objects and rituals as anchors when words fail, the ways spirituality and community can either support or collapse under real-world suffering, and how spiritual practice must include our shared humanity and collective responsibility. J.S. also shares his path from atheism toward faith through witnessing love in community, and they unpack the tension between the teachings of Jesus and the harm done in the name of religion. This episode is for anyone holding loss, navigating a crisis of faith, feeling exhausted by "move on" culture, or looking for a spiritual practice that helps you show up with tenderness and integrity. Guest: J.S. Park is a hospital chaplain, writer, and grief educator. He is the author of As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve. Topics covered • Grief as something to honor, not solve • Why "closure" is not the goal and grief changes shape • Grieving the dream, not just the person • Treasured objects and ritual as grief anchors • When words fail and the role of art, music, and practice • Faith crises and spiritual seasons • From atheism to faith through love and community • Spiritual practice, justice, and resisting dehumanization • Boundaries, self care, and what actually sustains us • Mortality as an invitation to live more tenderly, now Resources As Long As You Need: Permission to Grieve by J.S.

'We've lost someone deeply important to us and the way each of us is grieving couldn't be more different. Some of us want to talk constantly. Some of us don't and it's becoming harder to coexist without tension. Now we feel towards each other. Small things turn into arguments because underneath it all we're all hurting just in different ways. I find myself thinking, why can't I cope like them? Or why can't they see how hard this is for me? Then I feel guilty for thinking that. I can't stop thinking about my mum who has died. What would she think?'Thank you to the HIA.ie for supporting Better Days this season.

How do you process grief? How does your husband process grief? Marriage is full of many good and lovely seasons. But every marriage will also experience losses. How do we process those losses in a way that brings us closer to one another and also closer to God? How is processing grief a chance to lean into God's design for marriage? How can we work through differences in the way we grieve without bitterness or resentment?Listen in to a real and vulnerable conversation with Clarissa Abbott, mom to two little girls and husband to Ryan, who serves with YWAM in Perth, Australia.

After losing both her mother and her son within two years, Marie Crews found herself shattered—and searching for meaning in the wreckage. What began as journaling to survive became the foundation for a new purpose: helping others navigate the darkness of grief through writing, connection, and community.In this episode, Marie shares how her own experience with sudden, traumatic loss reshaped her understanding of healing. She opens up about the complexity of compound grief, the doubts that haunt many bereaved parents, and how her spiritual connection with her son continues to guide her. Marie also reflects on building her journaling-based grief retreats, the importance of giving yourself permission to feel joy again, and why sharing stories helps us move forward without leaving our loved ones behind.Resources & Ways to ConnectMarie's Website: https://www.mariecrews.comAPOY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aplaceofyespodcastHeather's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathersstraughterJake'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/jakeshelpOur YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@aplaceofyespodcast

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!

I felt sick while watching a movie scene, so I walked out. What was that exactly? Grieving or quenching the Spirit? Or was it my own spirit provoked within me? Or my conscience? And what if I had remained in the theater? Would my ministry effectiveness be blocked until I confess it? Does a wall build up between us and God when we sin? What are your thoughts on the spiritual disciplines?

In this episode of Grief Out Loud, we talk with Adell Coleman about her mother who was killed when Adell was just 24 years old. Adell reflects on the closeness of their relationship and how her mom's death radically shifted her sense of safety in the world. She shares how the circumstances around her mother's death, including being the person who found her, has made it difficult to remember how her mom lived, without reliving how she died.  Adell also talks about what it's been like raising two daughters who never met their grandmother, but somehow carry her presence in surprising and meaningful ways. She reflects on anniversaries 14 years later, the exhaustion of grief, and how becoming the family "grief expert" interrupted her capacity to engage with her own grief.  The conversation closes with Adell describing how community, therapy, boundaries, and creative work - including her documentary and podcast, Echoes of Her: To Mom With Love - have helped her find language, connection, and space for her grief.   We discuss Losing a mother in young adulthood and feeling "not ready" to be an adult How violent death and trauma impact grief and memory  The challenge of accessing good memories when you are dealing with traumatic imagery  Parenting while grieving and helping children connect with a grandparent they never met  Anniversaries, emotional exhaustion, and grief over time  Becoming the family "grief expert" and having to put off personal grief  Finding community after loss and why the right support can take time  Creating meaning through storytelling, connection, and creative projects Adell's documentary and her new podcast, Echoes of Her: To Mom With Love  Connect with Adell Instagram: @iamadellcoleman  Podcast: Echoes of Her Threads: @iamadellcoleman Documentary: Echoes of Her: To Mom With Love Substack: On My Momma                

In this episode, I talk about the part of grief that doesn't fit the mold—the way loss makes you different, and how few people truly understand the way we navigate the world afterward. There's an unexpected empowerment that comes from owning that difference. From letting go of how grief should look. From stopping the need to be understood. And from building a life after loss in the way you need to, not the way others expect. If you've ever felt like a misfit in your grief, about how you're doing this and am looking for guidance on owning it, this one is for you. JOIN LOSSLINK.COM to find your loss posse ************************************* NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

In this episode, we normalize the conversations around donor egg IVF, grieving genetics, and age appropriate conversations for donor conceived children with Sherri Sawyerr. About Sherri: Sherri Sawyerr is a proud mother, storyteller, and fertility advocate whose journey to motherhood was shaped by faith, loss, and unwavering love. After facing the heartbreak of infertility, she and her husband chose the path of donor egg IVF—a decision that led them to the beautiful gift of their daughter. Determined to create more representation for families like hers, Sherri began sharing her story to help others feel less alone. Her heartfelt children's book, Love Grew Me, was written to help parents explain donor conception to their children with honesty and compassion—especially in Black families, where these conversations are often missing from mainstream narratives. A graduate of Spelman College, Sherri now lives in the Atlanta area with her husband, their daughter, and their two beloved dogs. Whether through her writing, speaking, or simply showing up online with vulnerability and grace, she is helping to redefine what family looks like—and reminding us all that love is what truly makes a family.

What does it look like to show up well for those walking through grief? When someone we know is walking through grief, we want to help by knowing what to say to ease their pain.  And yet, many of us feel awkward around grief and loss. We worry that we'll make things worse by saying the wrong thing. Often we don't know how to emotionally support others without trying to fix the situation or offer what can feel like empty platitudes.  Today I've invited my friend and fellow podcaster Sherrie Pilkington to share her grief journey after the sudden loss of her husband several years ago.

In this episode of Widowed AF, Rosie Moss is joined by Betsy Ronel, a widow of 15 years, mother, New York real estate agent, and host of the podcast Heavens to Betsy.Betsy shares the story of her marriage to Daniel, a gifted plastic surgeon known for his integrity and deep ethical conviction. From early online dating to raising young children within a small-town medical community, their life together was shaped by love, ambition, and complexity. Daniel's sudden death in a car accident shattered that world overnight, leaving Betsy to navigate shock, public scrutiny, parenting through trauma, and the long, slow work of survival.With striking honesty, Betsy reflects on the realities of widowhood that rarely get spoken about: the corrosive myths around “moving on,” the stigma attached to grief-related coping behaviours, and the way loss reshapes identity over years rather than months. She speaks candidly about mental health, financial instability, therapy, and rebuilding a life that still makes room for love and memory.Rosie and Betsy also explore the concept of what they call “pure grief”, mourning without betrayal or anger.Threaded throughout the conversation is humour, tenderness, and a deep respect for the person who died, alongside the hard truth that grief does not disappear. As Betsy puts it, “There's no way around the grief, it will be waiting for you when you come back to Earth.”This is an episode about enduring love, dignity in grief, and finding ways to keep going without pretending the pain ever fully leaves.Key themes:Sudden loss and long-term widowhoodParenting children after the death of a parent“Pure grief” and mourning without betrayalMental health, stigma, and coping behavioursPublic scrutiny and navigating loss in small communitiesRebuilding identity and life after lossChapters0:02 Introducing Betsy Ronel and Shared Widowhood Experience5:08 Love After Loss: The Beginning of a New Chapter9:52 Building Family and Life Transitions17:24 Professional Challenges and Sudden Loss27:11 The Day Daniel Died and Immediate Aftermath43:40 Facing Grief, Public Scrutiny, and Legal Battles57:43 Navigating Grief and Single Parenthood64:31 Supporting Grieving Children and Parenting Challenges69:09 Financial Struggles, Rebuilding, and New Beginnings78:20 Reflections on Healing, Self-Compassion, and Endurance#widowhoodjourney #griefsupport #emotionalresilience #childbereavement #suddenloss #mentalhealthafterloss #parentingthroughgrief #careeraftertragedy #griefandhealing #traumaticloss

What is it like to live in a democracy under stress? This video explores the emotional reality for people witnessing the erosion of American norms under Trumpism. From grief and shame to fear, anger, and the collapse of trust in institutions, it examines the psychological weight of watching democratic guardrails fail. We also reflect on recent tragedies, like the murder of Renee Nicole Good by a federal agent, as stark examples of how unchecked power and normalized violence amplify fear and moral distress. Amid it all, hope survives—not as naive optimism, but as a disciplined commitment to care, resist, and act. If you've felt disoriented, exhausted, or heartsick about the state of democracy, this video is for you.

Send us a textSome stories arrive like a storm and leave the shape of everything changed. Our guest, coach and mother Heather Lane, shares how the stillbirth of her daughter Riley shattered her world, the years of silence that followed, and the day a quiet question in a parked car became the start of a different life. What unfolds is a raw, hopeful journey from isolation to agency, from surviving to serving, and from unspoken grief to a movement that invites mothers to say their children's names out loud.We explore what true support looks like when language falters: listening without fixing, presence over scripts, and the power of asking real questions. Heather opens up about rebuilding her foundation through simple, repeatable habits that restored energy and self-respect. She explains why confidence in coaching doesn't come from perfect words, but from attunement, repair, and a deep belief that you won't say the wrong thing to the right people. For anyone holding space for others—leaders, coaches, partners—these insights translate into everyday practices that build trust and foster growth.Heather also shares Radiant After Riley, a movement born from love and loss, and her guided journal designed to help grieving mothers remember who they were, who they are, and who they are becoming. It's a conversation about grit and grace, about modeling the work we ask of clients, and about choosing to lead from the front when life is hardest. If you or someone you love has felt alone in grief, this story offers language, tools, and a hand to hold.If the episode resonates, share it with a friend, rate the show, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations.

Who are you when the thing that defined you is taken away? What happens when the life you planned no longer exists? How do you grieve a future that never happened? Can uncertainty become a place of growth instead of fear? In this deeply moving episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with cognitive scientist and author Dr. Maya Shankar for an honest conversation about identity, loss, and navigating life’s most unexpected transitions. Dr. Maya is the author of The Other Side of Change: Who We Become When Life Makes Other Plans, a book rooted in both science and lived experience. Maya shares the story of her childhood as a violin prodigy — accepted into Juilliard at nine and studying under Itzhak Perlman — until a career-ending injury at fifteen forced her to grieve not just the violin, but the version of herself she thought she would be. She opens up about how losing the violin meant losing her confidence, her identity, and the future she had built her entire life around. She also speaks candidly about her fertility journey, including miscarriage, surrogacy, and the realization that some desires are shaped by cultural expectations of womanhood. Maya reflects on how choosing to pause her path to motherhood brought unexpected peace and clarity. Radhi shares her own experiences of identity loss — from moving to New York and no longer being able to practice as a clinical dietitian, to navigating grief after the peaceful passing of her grandmother. Together, they explore how identity can unravel when the “what” of our lives changes, and why anchoring ourselves in why we do things allows us to evolve without losing ourselves. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why identity rooted in roles and achievements is fragile How grief shows up when we lose a future we imagined The difference between what you do and why you do it Why humans crave certainty — and how to live without it How to find safety in community instead of clear answers What the “end of history illusion” reveals about personal growth How mental time travel can help ease anxiety and fear Why witnessing human goodness can restore hope and meaning This episode is a gentle reminder that change doesn’t mean something went wrong — sometimes it means life is asking you to become more than you planned.

In Chapter 5 of this ongoing series, Lisa slows things down to focus on the groundwork that must come before true integration and lasting change. She explores radical acceptance, surrender, grief, and self-compassion as essential prerequisites for sustainable healing and intentional weight loss. She unpacks why integration and even fear of self-compassion demand a foundational understanding of our internal systems, challenges narratives of powerlessness around food and the body, and offers a more honest, collaborative view of agency—where tender and fierce self-compassion work together to restore connection, power, and trust.Topics Include:AuthenticityRadical Acceptance & GriefLearned HelplessnessPower & Trust[1:05] Lisa begins by emphasizing the importance of showing up imperfectly and authentically. Recording while exhausted, Lisa models imperfect, “messy action” guided by intrinsic motivation and a felt life force, showing how movement forward doesn't require perfection or certainty. She argues that filtering oneself to please others prevents genuine, resonant expression. True transformation, particularly in contexts like weight loss, starts with radical acceptance of one's current reality. [4:39] Lisa reflects on authenticity, including her frequent use of strong language. She does not apologize for it, framing it as an aligned and sincere teaching style. She references public reactions to swearing and uses Gary Vaynerchuk (Gary Vee) as an example. He is polarizing for his intense and abrasive delivery, yet he often communicates empathy, love, and compassion. Lisa highlights the paradox that style and substance can coexist, which is about balancing masculine and feminine energy in communication and leadership.[14:30] Lisa emphasizes that acceptance typically comes as the final stage of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance). If acceptance feels elusive, it may be because grief has not been allowed or processed. Grieving the gap between hope and reality enables genuine acceptance and the inner peace that follows. Lisa shares that her pivotal moment for weight loss was a raw reckoning where she moved through anger and fear to a state of acceptance, realizing she was solely responsible for her situation and the only one who could change it. [20:03] Lisa explains how during the process of acceptance, an inner child may emerge, feeling that a situation is unfair. The correct response is not dismissal but tender self-compassion: validating these feelings by acknowledging the pain and perceived unfairness. This act of consciously seeing and accepting one's own state is a form of reparenting, ensuring one is no longer alone in their suffering.[54:13] Lisa discusses the "I am powerless" principle found in 12-step programs like Overeaters Anonymous (OA), arguing it is misaligned with a healthy relationship with food, from which one cannot abstain. This belief can lead to learned helplessness. Lisa's critique targets ideology and its impact on beliefs and behavior, not individual outcomes. She explains a more effective framework is to understand that one has "total responsibility but only partial control." Not having total control doesn't mean having zero control. [40:28] Lisa explores creating a daily check-in routine to validate emotions and assess physical and emotional needs; schedule care actions as non-negotiables. She encourages listeners to map areas of power vs lack of control; practice fierce self-compassion and audit self-talk to replace disempowering beliefs.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

In this episode, I talk openly about God after the death of my son, Brody—what my faith looks like now, what it doesn't, and how it has changed in ways I never expected. I share my honest thoughts, doubts, anger, comfort, and the quiet moments where belief feels complicated but still present. I also dive into what it's like to parent after loss—how grief shows up in anxiety, how it lives in my body and my thoughts, and the things that genuinely help me when the fear gets loud. This isn't about having it all figured out; it's about surviving, regulating, and finding ways to feel safe in a world that no longer feels predictable. Finally, I talk about the way Brody's death reshaped how I show up in the world. The attitude I try to carry. The energy I try to contribute. The way loss softened me, sharpened me, and changed how I treat others—and myself. I also talk about a lot of other random stuff too LOL This episode is for anyone navigating faith after loss, parenting with grief, or trying to live gently and intentionally after their world has been shattered. You're not alone here.

In this powerful episode of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast, Kayleigh is joined by Alex, a mom of two and congenital heart disease survivor, who shares her journey through two high-risk pregnancies and two traumatic births.Alex opens up about living with complex congenital heart defects, undergoing open-heart surgery as an infant, and entering pregnancy knowing she would always be medically high-risk. Despite meticulous care and expert providers, both pregnancies took sudden, life-threatening turns, illustrating how trauma can exist even when everything is “managed well.”This episode explores the fear, grief, and lasting impact of emergency medical decisions, general anesthesia during birth, NICU life, and the heartbreak of realizing a redemptive birth may never come.In this episode, we discuss:

Sometimes in life, we have to make the decision to walk away from things, people, habits, mindsets, or behaviors that no longer serve the person we are or are becoming. And letting go of things tied to an identity we once had is not always easy. It may bring feelings of anger, sadness, loneliness, confusion, or even grief. So I am encouraging us to honor those parts of us, and then let them go in order to make space for what's to come.

January can feel isolating when you're grieving your child. The world is talking about fresh starts and new goals, but you may feel like you're living in a world you don't recognize anymore—because your child is no longer in it. In this episode, I'm naming why January often feels heavier than people expect after child loss, and why it makes sense if you don't want to "reset," "start over," or plan your way into a better version of yourself right now. This is about stepping out of the world's pressure—and finding a steadier place to stand. In this episode, you'll learn… Why the "new year" narrative can feel so disorienting after child loss How to recognize when cultural pressure is adding weight to your grief What it means to opt out of timelines and expectations that no longer fit your life How God begins in the empty, formless places—when you have nothing left to give If January has been making you feel out of place, behind, or quietly exhausted, I want you to know this: there is nothing wrong with you. You don't have to force progress to prove you're okay. Press play, take a slow breath, and let this episode remind you that God meets you right where you are—and He will not rush you.   Grief Mentor Services ✨ GRIEF MENTOR SESSIONS If your heart feels overwhelmed or you're unsure how to navigate this season of grief, I would be honored to walk with you in a 1:1 Grief Mentor Session — a time of intentional listening, spiritual discernment, and compassionate mentorship to help you understand your grief and take steady steps forward.

Shelby Forsythia, a grief coach and author of Of Course I'm Here Right Now: Three Actually Helpful Things to Say to Someone Grieving, joins Mary B to offer practical guidance on how to show up for people in grief. When unsure of the “right” words, many people default to silence rather than risk saying the wrong thing, often leaving grievers feeling isolated. Shelby's work aims to interrupt that pattern. The title of her book is structured around three simple statements: Of course. I'm here. Right now. These serve as guideposts for offering genuine, supportive language. Shelby also explores the idea of collateral grief, the secondary losses that often accompany a primary grief event, such as routines, relationships, or imagined futures. Together, Mary B and Shelby examine a form of grief that is frequently minimized in our culture: the grief that follows the end of a friendship or relationship.Shelby Forsythia (she/her) is a grief coach, author, and podcast host. In 2020, she founded Life After Loss Academy, an online course and community that has helped dozens of grievers grow and find their way after death, divorce, diagnosis, and other major life transitions.Following her mother's death in 2013, Shelby began calling herself a “student of grief” and now devotes her days to reading, writing, and speaking about loss. Through a combination of mindfulness tools and intuitive, open-ended questions, she guides her clients to welcome grief as a teacher and create meaningful lives that honor and include the heartbreaks they've faced.

Witherspoon's Children of the Covenant (1873), written in the wake of profound loss and grounded in God's promises rather than sentiment. Through the lives of three covenant children, Witherspoon points grieving parents and churches to Christ, the ordinary means of grace, and the sure consolation of belonging to Him.

Today we're bringing you an episode of Uncuffed from 2024 that really resonated with our Newsroom staff. It's about a lesser known, but important aspect of life in prison: grieving.

In today's episode with Karen Roldan, a licensed funeral director, embalmer, and the creator of Behind the Funeral, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood industries in our lives — death care. With nearly twenty years of experience and a deep respect for the families she serves, Karen brings honesty, compassion, and clarity to conversations many of us avoid until we're forced to have them. As a graduate of Worsham College of Mortuary Science and a licensed professional in funeral services, cremation, pre-need planning, and cemetery property, Karen offers a rare insider perspective on what really happens behind the scenes after a death. Through Behind the Funeral, Karen is changing how we talk about grief, funerals, and end-of-life planning — dismantling myths, answering hard questions, and humanizing a profession often surrounded by fear and silence. In our conversation, we explore what families should know before making arrangements, why transparency matters in death care, and how understanding the process can bring peace during some of life's most difficult moments. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating loss, planning ahead, or simply wanting a more honest and informed relationship with death — because the conversations we avoid are often the ones that heal us most.   Episode Highlights The Death-Positive Movement Transparency in the Funeral Industry End-of-Life Planning for Millennials & Gen X Normalizing Conversations About Death Grief Education vs Grief Avoidance Ethical Funeral Practices Pre-Planning Funerals & Cremation Humanizing the Death-Care Profession Funeral Industry Myths Debunked Emotional Support During Funeral Planning Death Literacy & Public Education Digital Memorials & Modern Grief Rituals Consumer Advocacy in Funeral Services Trauma-Informed Death Care Cultural Shifts in How We Honor the Dead funeral director insights death care industry explained behind the funeral process funeral planning guide cremation vs burial explained end-of-life planning education funeral myths and truths grief and funeral services death care transparency licensed funeral director advice pre-need funeral planning what happens after death funeral costs explained compassionate funeral care talking about death and grief modern funeral practices behind the scenes funeral home death positive movement understanding cremation process how funerals really work   Know Karen Roldan Visit behindthefuneral.com to learn more. karen@behindthefuneral.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenroldanaasfsp/   Did you enjoy today's episode?   Welcome to New Ways Barre.

Tis a new year my friends and honestly, it's the same shit. In this episode, I get super vulnerable you guys. I even go a little Tony Robbins on ya...I will say I'm super proud of myself for what I did in 2025 when it came to my health and wellness. I went IN trying to get my physical health and mental health back on track. Like GLP-1s, I did Ketamine, back to working out consistently, bible study, being present with my babies, changing up career paths, getting grief coach and educator certified, finding that balance with motherhood and grief, and just trying to get ME back...Well it was tough but I made it and I am proud but no one talks about that "Dig Out"...Where you have to consistently dig yourself out of a dark place all the time. It's honorable and shitty but we have to do it. I dive into this phenomena in hopes to hype you up and share that it's hard for me too.This is real life, I'm always honest with y'all and I always will be.Hope this helps mama

Happy New Year loves! Today, Abbie and I talk about how we (you) dont have to be okay here, at this time, in this moment, in this new year.  We also discuss reflection and grief for the woman you used to be There's a grief no one talks about—the grief of becoming someone new. Grieving the woman who kept everyone else afloat. The woman who stayed quiet. The woman who believed if she just tried harder, things would work out. Our lives are hectic enough, day to day, don't put so much pressure on yourself to be perfect or to finish those "resolutions".  You are ok and sometimes we grow and outgrow some of those promises we make to ourselves at the beginning of the year.  The goal is admirable and if you are able to achieve it, thats fantastic, but if you can't or dont thats ok too! Traditional New Year's goals can feel cruel when you're rebuilding because they assume you're starting from a place of abundance. But some of us are starting from empty. If your only intention this year is to survive more gently—that counts.  You don't have to become more productive to be worthy.  Letting go isn't weakness. It's discernment. If you're mourning what you had to release—people, dreams, timelines—your grief is valid. You didn't fail. You listened. Listen in as we take you through whispers of hope and love for the women who are listening. We love you, welcome in to 2026 with us.

My guest today did some significant healing at a psilocybin ceremony at a retreat center in Mexico. She takes us there and explains why she was able to heal in that environment in ways she hadn't before. You'll also hear how and why she does psychedelic work as a therapist. Dr. Cheryl Tien, PsyD, is a licensed clinical psychologist who helps individuals navigate grief, identity, and life transitions with a culturally attuned, trauma-informed approach. She specializes in psychedelic integration—supporting clients in making meaning of experiences with medicines like MDMA and psilocybin in a grounded, evidence-based way. Her work centers on safety, ethics, and translating profound experiences into sustainable change in everyday life. Here's some of what we talked about: Deciding to get licensed, and the pros and cons of that as a psychedelic facilitator Advocating for psychedelic medicine accessibility Grieving the loss of a former client to suicide Getting racially assaulted Having fears, visuals and nightmares as a result of stressful events Hitting the limits of talk therapy in her own healing Choosing to attend a psilocybin ceremony retreat in Mexico Why the medicine is 10% of the experience Her internal experience during the ceremony Doing a sweat lodge the following day How she decides when to do a psychedelic journey and what medicine she needs Being "spiritually hopeful" Her advice to people new to psychedelics healing generational trauma Show notes at https://rebeltherapist.me/podcast/254

SummaryIn this conversation, James Sholl and Danielle Strickland engage with Brian Recker, author of ‘Hell Bent', discussing his journey from fundamentalism to a more expansive understanding of faith. They explore themes of deconstruction, the implications of hell in Christianity, and the importance of justice over punishment. The conversation emphasizes the need for authenticity in spirituality and the liberating experience of finding Jesus beyond traditional frameworks.‘I began, very strongly, to feel that who we were in Evangelicalism did not reflect the spirituality of Jesus'Takeaways* Brian Recker's book ‘Hell Bent' explores the fear of hell in Christianity.* Deconstruction often begins with questioning fundamental beliefs.* The political climate can significantly impact one's faith journey.* Grieving the loss of traditional faith structures is a common experience.* Finding Jesus outside of traditional frameworks can be liberating.* The concept of hell often reflects a punitive view of God.* Justice in Christianity should focus on restoration, not punishment.* Fear-based spirituality can hinder genuine connection with God.* Authenticity in faith leads to deeper belonging and community.* The journey of faith can be both challenging and transformative.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background Noise01:53 Introducing Brian Recker and His Book03:51 Brian's Journey from Fundamentalism to Evangelicalism07:26 The Impact of Politics on Faith11:23 Deconstruction and the Search for Authenticity14:45 Encountering Jesus Amidst Deconstruction18:33 Prayer and Spiritual Practices22:04 Listening to Marginalized Voices25:40 The Concept of Hell and Its Implications29:57 The Nature of God's Justice32:20 Rethinking Judgment and Redemption33:56 God vs. Empire: A New Perspective35:56 The Consequences of Spirituality37:48 The Role of Hell in Faith42:56 Love Over Fear: A New Approach to Faith47:36 Connecting with the Right God53:51 Finding Genuine Belonging Get full access to Right Side Up: Danielle Strickland at daniellestrickland.substack.com/subscribe

Longing After Betrayal: Grieving the Future You Thought You'd Have There's a very specific ache that shows up after betrayal—especially during the holidays. It's not just missing a person. It's grieving the future you thought you were building…and the version of you who once believed in it. In this episode, we talk about longing—not as a problem to fix, but as a signal of healing, a doorway back to self-trust, and a gentle bridge into what's next.   Longing after betrayal can feel confusing and even scary—because wanting, hoping, and believing once led to pain. But longing isn't weakness, and it doesn't mean you're stuck or that you “made a mistake.” In this episode, Lora Cheadle explores why the holidays amplify longing (hello, Hallmark movies), why longing is often grief and love intertwined, and how longing can become a powerful compass back to self-trust. You'll learn how to honor the future you lost without rushing into a new one, and you'll be guided through a presencing practice and intentional silence to help regulate your nervous system and listen inward. Plus, Lora invites you into her $26 Vision Board Workshop on January 10—a gentle, guided container to help you reconnect with what still matters and shape what comes next without pressure.   Top 3 Takeaways 1. Longing doesn't mean you want your old life back—it means something meaningful mattered. You're not “doing it wrong” if you ache; you're human, and you're grieving a future you imagined. 2. After betrayal, many women don't stop trusting others—they stop trusting themselves to want again. Avoiding longing isn't failure; it's protection that hasn't been updated yet.   3 Longing can become a compass when you stop trying to resolve it. Instead of asking “What do I want next?” try asking, “What does my longing still care about?”—and let that guide you gently forward.   Favorite Quote “Longing isn't asking you to go backwards—it's asking you to acknowledge how far you've come.” About Lora Lora Cheadle, JD, CHt is a former attorney turned betrayal recovery coach, hypnotherapist, and author who helps women rebuild their identity and reclaim their power after infidelity and profound emotional betrayal.

Not as something dark or depressing, but as a way to sharpen your focus on what actually matters.You will hear conversations with psychologists, grief experts, and artists who have all confronted mortality in very real ways. From near death moments and personal loss to ancient Stoic wisdom that still holds up today, this reminder helps make you more present, more patient, and more intentional with your time.
