What does loneliness mean?According to Brené Brown, acclaimed author of "Atlas of the Heart," loneliness is not merely about being alone but rather the absence of meaningful social connections. It's the lack of intimate relationships, friendships, family gatherings, and community or work group ties that leaves one feeling isolated.In our current world, there's a visible trend of increasing disconnection among people, with divides widening across various lines such as race, gender, ethnicity, political beliefs, religions, and philosophies. Paradoxically, this disconnect is also fostering movements that strive to bring people together in solidarity, driven by a shared humanity and a collective yearning for a better world.However, navigating this landscape requires immense strength and vulnerability. Remaining open-hearted amidst the challenges of today's world is daunting yet essential for survival. Loneliness, therefore, is more than just physical solitude; it's a state of disconnection that can affect anyone, even when surrounded by others, as exemplified by Tia's experience of profound loneliness following her sister's passing.In this episode, Tia and Julie explore the nuances of loneliness, its link to disconnection, and strategies for overcoming it. They share personal insights and stories, shedding light on the journey from loneliness and disconnection towards rebuilding connections and finding belonging.This episode is dedicated to Shelby Sandahl, Tia's beloved sister, whose impact on others' lives is remembered with love and gratitude.Key takeaways from this episode include:Understanding the distinction between loneliness and solitude.Recognizing loneliness as a symptom of disconnection.Navigating the depths of despair and self-compassion.Cultivating self-awareness to confront loneliness.Embracing the inevitability of change and its impact on relationships.Developing emotional resilience as a shield against pain.Engaging in the process of rebuilding and reconnecting with one's community.For further exploration, resources mentioned in the episode include Brené Brown's insights on core emotions and her book "Atlas of the Heart," along with the podcast episode "Obsessed with Leaning into Grief" featuring Heidi Dunstan.We want to know who you are obsessed with--Watch Us LIVE on YouTube Every Monday - @obsessedpodcastJoin us as we interview thought leaders like Gary Vaynerchuk, Evan Carmichael, Dr. Laura Berman and MORE!And learn about how we are changing the world every day: THE WOMEN OF OBSESSEDGet Obsessed with us.

Heidi Dunstan a Certified Grief Educator, Best Selling Author & Speaker. Her passion to educate others about grief, & how to support others who are grieving came after losing her husband unexpectedly. Her experience with loved ones saying the wrong thing or completely disappearing gave her first-hand knowledge that many people have never learned how to grieve often leaving grievers to grieve alone. Heidi is changing the narrative on grief and helping people to feel equipped to lean in and support their loved ones so we can grieve with grace together.

Everyone experiences different losses in life and with that come different levels of grief.   Some losses in life are of loved ones and these can be extremely difficult to handle. How we deal with both our own losses and those of others is different for everyone.   There can be no judgment about this, both within ourselves and with others, as we're all on complicated journeys and there are no rights or wrongs.   Of course, it's good to be well versed on how to best communicate with others as senses are often very fragile.   Heidi Dunstan is a wonderful grief guide and, in this interview, she offers profound insights into the behaviors of grief both personally and socially.   Be sure to tune in for your own guidance no matter how well versed you are as it's such a deep subject matter.

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Heidi Dunstan. Heidi is a Grief Advocate and Educator who helps people learn what to say and not to say to someone who is grieving.

This leaves people to grieve in isolation, which is furthest from what many need. Heidi is a International Bestselling Author and her book A Legacy of Loss: Grief Leaves a lot of Holes in Hearts has just launched. Heidi has yet to find someone immune to death, which means that we all will face grief, and has created the Lean into Grief movement where those who follow her get tips and things to say to support those who are grieving so we can connect while grieving.

In this episode Heidi Dunstan and I have a candid discussion about the importance of talking about and acknowledging one another in grief. In the past few years it is hard to come across another human that has been free of experiencingloss. We are all grieving. For some it is fresh, for others it is aged, but remains – because grief is not bad – it's a testament to have loved. This episode is a gentle reminder to yourself as a griever, or as someone who is in the sphere of another in grief that it is not simply the loss that must be acknowledged, but the path of healing and hope that comes from allowing others to be seen. To truly help; honour, have empathy, love, and be present for and with another in their journey. With allowing it to be in what it is – tears, laughter, dark humor, or even silence. This episode will touch your heart for certain. About The GuestHeidi Dunstan is a Certified Grief Educator and best-selling author.

"What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us", Helen Keller Our interview with Heidi Dunstan, a Grief Advocate, where she wants to make a difference in the World to change things around grief. We are all walking around this world grieving, especially as we move through 2020. Grief impacts us all and yet it is a struggle to move through the emotions together so many end up feeling unheard, or judged and left to face their emotions alone. Knowing what to say and not to say to someone who is grieving can be hard. You see your friend or loved one hurting, and it can't be fixed, their person isn't here. Words matter when grieving, and many often say things that miss the mark, or say nothing at all. Let's do it Heidi!

After over a year together, the Obsessed team, Julie Lokun, Tia Walden, and Mika Altidor share their insights from lessons learned from expert guests in personal development. Listen to this intimate conversation on how this little podcast has changed so many lives--including ours. This roller coaster of life, at points, seems unfair. Especially when we are thrust into a traumatic situation. We have the privilege of talking with amazing experts every day. This privilege is not taken lightly. In fact, we believe it is our duty to be the ambassador for their platforms as they give of their selves tirelessly to mend broken spirits. Our conversations weave in and out of grief, trauma, resilience, toxic families, reactive situations and so much more. We have been educated by the best and today, I share the wisdom imparted to me by these prolific professionals. QUESTION:Are you stressed out? Are you reeling from a trauma? Are you in the middle of a life-altering adjustment? If so, this episode is for you. If not, read on because the tools that you learn when life is smooth will be the weapons you have to fight when life gets really rocky.Lessons From The Masters:One of our lessons learned was about grief. Grief is a lesson these obsessed girls have met in the past year and we believe Heidi Dunstan was put into our lives for a reason. Heidi Dunstan: Grief Advocate and Leader in Loss. Heidi has taught us a new narrative when talking to someone who is experiencing loss. Loss can look like death, a job loss, a breakup, or even something transitional like a move. Heidi lost her husband, unexpectedly the day before her 40th birthday and is now a warrior in grief awareness. Heidi taught me what matters most is that you are there for your person. Loss is triggering for us, and often we are immobilized and unable to find the right words to comfort those closest to us. Just being there is often enough. Get Obsessed with us.

Dear Podteaser, In this second installment on mental health this week, we introduce you to a show that is OBSESSED With Humans On The Verge Of Change. As a team of coaches with expertise in business, law, nutrition and health, no subject is off limits. In this episode you get to know one of the hosts in a whole new way, as Tia Morell Walden, co-host of the show, opens up to Julie Lokun about the immense grief and joy she encountered in such a short time. Tia is a newlywed, a grieving sister, and a mother-to-be. The complexity of emotions they share, and their really vulnerable discussion about loneliness, grief, and the process of recovery is truly eye opening. Obsessed is one of my favorite shows, and I'm not just saying that because it's my business bestie's flagship podcast. You might call me Obsessed with Obsessed... and its one of the most heart-wrenching stories I've yet to hear on any podcast -- ever. I hope you enjoy it. I know you will -- as you laugh, cry, and move into your day with hope and love for what's to come. It's time to embrace your loved ones, accept moments of loneliness, and move into the future you want to build, as you become a fan of Obsessed. Let's Mix it! Corinna Bellizzi Co-founder of Podtease & The Mediacasters---Obsessed with Loneliness Show Notes: What is loneliness? Brené Brown, the author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines loneliness as:The absence of meaningful social interaction—an intimate relationship, friendships, family gatherings, or even community or work group connections. Today the world appears to be becoming more and more disconnected, with the cracks between people, races, genders, ethnicities, political beliefs, religions, and philosophies widening at an alarming rate. But, when we look deeper, this disconnection and the political and economic machines that are moving people apart are ironically spawning movements bringing people closer together than ever. People are united in their humanity, joined by their hearts, by their desire for a better world, and the sincere wish to help others who are less fortunate. It takes tremendous strength and courage to remain open-hearted and vulnerable in the world we live in today. And yet, to survive, we must lead from the heart. And we must belong to ourselves. Loneliness is disconnection (versus being alone). We are social creatures, and in today's climate, it is easier and easier to become disconnected, which leads to loneliness. In Tia's case, she suffered immense grief after her sister's death. And she disconnected from all those around her. She was surrounded by many people - yet felt a deep loneliness.In this episode, Tia and Julie share their insights and stories about facing the feeling of loneliness and how it leads to disconnection – and how to pick yourself up from being lonely and disconnected. This episode is dedicated to Shelby Sandahl, a loving sister to Tia who has touched many people's lives.

 Because grief is a complex emotion, it can be especially scary for someone who has never experienced it; It can be challenging consoling family and friends.  It may seem that nothing you can or say is of help.Sometimes in the attempt to console your loved ones, certain things may come across as inappropriate. Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing, accepting that you can't do anything to help your loved feel better can be a good place to start. In this week's episode, Heidi Dunstan,  a widow and Grief Educator turned her own pain and grief into helping others. She talks to us about what not to say to someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one. Resources mentioned on the show:Heidi Dunstan's Website | InstagramSupport the show

Heidi Dunstan is a certified grief educator and best-selling author. Her passion to help others, learn more about grief, and how to support others who are grieving came after losing her husband unexpectedly almost three years ago. Her experience with friends and loved ones saying the wrong thing or completely disappearing gave her first-hand knowledge that many people have never learned how to grieve which often leaves grievers to grieve in isolation.   Key Takeaways: Heidi shares her grieving story and how it led her to her current work. Susan shares the moment when her life was changed forever.  Sometimes people just don't know how to deal with their own grief. Loss and grief cannot be compared. You don't need to know how somebody died, they are not coming back. You don't want to put people through that trauma again. Some people will just leave you when you need them the most and some others will hold space for you. People have no idea of what you are going through. It is not just death that you are dealing with but the disruption of your entire life. Heidi highlights the difference between being a single parent and being a solo parent. You still love the person you lost, and that is why time is not always on your side. Choosing the people to surround yourself with is critical when you are grieving. Some friends will just sit there, witness, let you feel, and grieve the way you can. If you don't know what to do for someone who is grieving, just ask, and offer only the things that you know you can deliver. Sharing stories not only brings memories back but for some people has healing power. Ask the person who is grieving how he or she feels about bringing memories of the lost loved one back. Heidi shares how to support someone who is grieving: love them where they are at. Heidi speaks about how to find comfort when you are grieving.   Resources Tendrilsofgrief.com Email Susan: susan@tendrilsofgrief.com   Meet Heidi Dunstan Visit Heidi's website Email Heidi at heidi@heididunstan.ca  Follow Heidi on Instagram and Facebook
