"Grief is messy, but it is our avoidance of grieving that makes it messier - especially when we learn of necessary change."Harmful systems thrive in silence, fear, and unchecked power. This episode explores how abusive dynamics take root in communities—spiritual and otherwise—and how grief work is essential for both individuals and the collective to heal.

Arielle Estoria is a poet and speaker sharing her experience of awakening to a newer, freer version of herself - and navigating all the grief that comes with it. Her new book, The Unfolding, is an invitation into gentleness for anyone to exhale, unlock healing, and gain permission for our own unfolding for ourselves.

"Once you bring yourself to that vulnerable place - that baseline emotionality - there is a real temptation to retreat." Author Benjamin Perry wants us to know our tears matter for so many reasons, we're losing count. After nearly 12 years of not crying, Benjamin decided to experiment with his own baseline emotionality and pursue a tearful project of crying at least once a day for a year. The outcome expanded his inner world and outer connections in healthy ways he never anticipated.

Grieving affects all of us at some point in life. Whether it's grieving the death of a loved one or pet, the ending of a marriage or relationship, or even a life shift like a job change, move or child going off to college. These are all grief events and can be incredibly emotional and hard to process. Grief is confusing, complex, multi-faceted, erratic and is different for everyone. So how do we work through grief when we feel so overwhelmed? What are some tools we can use to allow ourselves to honor what was, but also give us the ability to function in the moment and eventually move forward without staying stuck? Are we supposed to let go? Hang on? Remember? Be sad? What if we feel guilty? Have regret? Are resentful or unbearably sad? Are we allowed to be happy again? Is that a betrayal? What should we share with others? Why is it so confusing and overwhelming? How can you feel ok one moment and the next so devastated?How can we ultimately honor our loss, accept what happened, have compassion for ourselves and learn to embrace life fully as it is now, after the grief event? In this interview with grief expert, Mandy Capehart, we break down all the elements of how to process grief. From navigating it for yourself to showing up for someone you care deeply about.Some of the topics covered in the interview are:What is grief and where does it show up in our lives? How to honor that everyone has their own way of grievingWhy our needs in grief may be constantly changing and how to communicate and honor themHow to understand what alleviates pain within our grief helps us grow Why being uncomfortable is a part of the healing processHow being present in our bodies can help work through griefRealizing that grief is part of our story, but does not define who we areWhat to do if the how and why of the event are blocking you in the grieving processHow we can idealize situations and people in griefEmbracing that grief is evidence that love existsHow to know that you can still honor the meaningfulness, it's just transformedThe surprising therapy that has been life changing for grief processing for MandyHow to evaluate if a memory of someone is keeping you from the life you want to liveWhy it can be good to have the uncomfortable conversations when a friend is going through griefHow we approach grief can totally change what we experience and how we manage to move through it. The reality is, there is no real roadmap, other than the one you make for yourself. But when you connect to what you are feeling and honor your needs we open up the road to healing. You can hear more about Mandy's grief work on her podcast: Restorative Grief. She also co-hosts The Uncomfortable Grace Podcast, where space is held for growth amid the messy middle-parts of life.

No matter what you're grieving, you don't have to do it alone. "After the loss of her job, Mandy Capehart starts the Restorative Grief project to help people cope with grief, but when her town has a wildfire that destroys most of the affordable housing, she must find her own values and bring them face to face with who she is in order to move forward through the grieving process." In this episode, you will learn: 1. Grief is a complex and individualized experience that doesn't necessarily follow a linear, prescribed path. 2. Grief literacy is necessary in order to support others through loss in a way that is helpful, not harmful. 3. Disenfranchised grief refers to grief events that don't fit into the expectations of the surrounding culture, and can be experienced. Her first book is titled, “Restorative Grief: Embracing our losses without losing ourselves” and is a memoir and 31 day guidebook for managing grief and growth in the aftermath of loss, no matter how long it lasts. https://www.mandycapehart.com/ It's never too late to begin a new journey in your life!

Episode 3 of Rise From The Shadows: Behind the Mask is now available at https://linktr.ee/shadowspodcast or www.theshadowspodcast.com. Every day we interact with other people's masked versions of ourselves. Most people have a select few that they allow to unmask them. Often, our biggest struggle isn't understanding others but it's trying to figure out who we indeed are. When we pull off our masks and do some soul searching, it's scary and frightening, but it can also be grateful and rewarding. This week we bring you a trauma-informed certified grief coach, author of Restorative Grief: Embracing our losses without losing ourselves, and the host of the podcast, Restorative Grief, Mandy Capehart! Mandy takes us through a tumultuous time in her life that was riddled with toxic conversations and was taking a toll on her mentally and physically. She tells us how to transform from post-traumatic grief to post-traumatic growth through her talk. How can we incorporate healthy coping mechanisms? How do we gain confidence while dealing with difficult situations? Then we bring you a Research Director at the Peanut Institute, Dr. Samara Sterling. She discusses something most of us can relate to eating on the go. Her family went from eating healthy in Jamaica to moving into the hustle of New York City. She walks us through the three life nudges she encountered that helped change her perspective on healthy eating. She gives us pointers that can help us curve our dietary patterns while balancing a busy lifestyle.
