“Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.” - RumiThis week, our conversation invites us to consider how the decisions we make—whether to isolate or connect—shape our healing and the health of our community. Here we wonder: Are we unknowingly creating the very struggles we seek to escape, or are we choosing a path toward deeper connection and collective well-being?Links + Resources from this episode:Join our Patreon communityFollow Mandy on InstagramJoin the Restorative Grief Project
"Unlearning begins with removing the ‘good/bad' binary and moving toward a spectrum of wellness." Grief is often seen through the limited lens of good vs. bad, creating barriers to fully understanding and engaging with our emotions. But what if there was no "bad" way to grieve? What if we could reframe our approach to grief by unlearning these binaries and embracing a spectrum of experiences instead? In this episode, we'll explore how unlearning societal expectations of grief allows us to move toward healing that is both authentic and expansive, especially in a world that still stigmatizes loss.

In this week's heartfelt episode, we dive into the complexities of grief with my special guest, Mandy Capehart – a trauma-informed certified grief educator and somatic embodiment life coach.Mandy shares her journey through grief, which led her to establish the Restorative Grief Project, an online community dedicated to supporting grievers and those who stand by them. Her book, "Restorative Grief: Embracing Our Losses Without Losing Ourselves," is a blend of memoir and practical guidebook that offers insight into managing loss.We touch on topics like:The universality of experiencing lossMoving beyond minimizing painNavigating uncertainty in times of sorrowHow our upbringing shapes our understanding of griefMandy also delves into how COVID-19 has highlighted the need for greater 'grief literacy' – acknowledging that you don't need death as a reason to grieve. She emphasizes validating experiences rather than dismissing them and discusses how she uses storytelling as a tool for connection and healing.Moreover, Mandy opens up about personal losses such as miscarriages, providing raw insights into the emotional turmoil they entail while calling out common misconceptions surrounding them.This episode is not just about dealing with grief but learning from it, embracing vulnerability, and engaging in deeper conversations instead of hiding behind social niceties or sugarcoated interactions.This conversation provides solace and guidance for anyone grappling with loss or seeking ways to support others in their grieving process.Key Takeaway:Grief isn't solely triggered by death; it encompasses various forms of personal loss and change. The conversation challenges us to confront cultural tendencies that often minimize these experiences or avoid deep discussions. Mandy's insights remind us that grieving is not just an emotional process but one that touches every fiber of our being - physically, mentally, and spiritually. Your story matters. Your pain deserves recognition. And together, we can find pathways toward restoration.RESOURCES:Restorative Grief Project on FacebookMichelle Obama's BookEnneagram E-Book | Pop-Up Opt-In on WebsiteCONNECT:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInEpisode Sponsor: Magic Mind | Use the code "GRIEVINGVOICES" to receive one month free with a 3-month subscription.

Today I'm talking with Mandy Capehart, author, speaker, and certified grief and life coach. She's the founder of the restorative grief project, an online resource for grievers looking for growth and healing. Today, she's here to speak loud about grief literacy, and the language needed to navigate grief for ourselves and others. The Unalignment of GriefMandy recounts having lost someone to death almost every year of her life. While she was grieving almost constantly, she says that she wasn't doing so in a good way. She coped with humor and by minimizing herself to service others. The first eye opener came in high school, when her senior class shared a loss of another classmate and Mandy began to realize that not all of the methods used to move through grief were effective. In 2016, Mandy's mother died 4 months after being diagnosed with cancer. Mandy had just had a baby and had planned on her mother being with her to help take care of her grandchild. After taking the time needed to process, Mandy began exploring what she recognized as the unalignment of thoughts, emotions, body, and spirit when someone is grieving. Since then, she's been speaking publicly and educating herself and others. Be Heard, Known, and LovedPart of Mandy's goal is teaching people how to be heard—and how to listen to others. Bearing witness, as she explains it, is more than just holding space for someone. It's experiencing the honest truth of what they're going through without judgment or advice on how to ‘fix' a situation. For someone going through grief, Mandy says it's important to know yourself and your support group. Who would you call if you need an ear or a hug and who would you call if you need someone to organize your linen closet? It's okay to be specific. The same goes for supporters. If there's something that you can offer, let your friend know. Trauma survivors know how tough they are. Sometimes they need the space to be heard, known, and loved rather than having someone try to fix the situation. Grieving Outside of ChurchWhen Mandy's mother died, Mandy had been leading a worship at church. After that loss, she didn't know how to work through her feelings within the faith. Many people within the faith minimized her pain by supporting a religious agenda or their own beliefs. She stepped down as a worship leader, knowing she couldn't lead herself, let alone others. Mandy's book came from this time of reflection and exploration of what faith means in this new world. She realized that the church did not know how to support her and also noticed that it wasn't able to support people through the pandemic. Her book offers a guide for people within the church realms to move past scriptures and lean into the practical element with daily prompts and quotes and practical resources to revisit whenever needed. Listen in to learn more about the Restorative Grief Project, the cyclical nature of grief, and how to start talking about grief in your life.

Grief coach, author, and founder of the Restorative Grief Project, Mandy Capehart joins the VCW hall as we talk all about grief in its many forms, including anticipatory and disenfranchised/ambiguous grief, grief guilt, grief brain, grief as a non-linear experience, why the "5 stages" aren't helpful for understanding grief, and how churches often fail to support grievers, particularly through spiritual bypassing and through terminating cliches. Finally, we talk about how people can be better "grief supporters" when people in our lives are dealing with unimaginable loss.

Featuring Mandy Capehart We live in a world that's a barrage of grief, yet we lack the skills and communities to support through it all. Why is that? In this episode, Mandy and I meander our way through what it takes to cultivate life giving community where all can belong. Before that, Mandy shares her story walking through deconstruction and her own seasons of grief. As a grief coach, she has a few things to share. Check out the show notes below. Show Notes A quick conversation about Oregon Trail; Deconstructing worship and the industrial worship complex; Mandy shares her recent journey through deconstructing evangelicalism; How loss and grief spiralled and catalyzed something new; Finding how contemporary church operates as self protective rather than walking in vulnerability in community; The search of belonging and community; Mandy shares about her story and experience with trauma and grief, her own journey, and holding space for others; Dissecting why churches struggle with lament and sorrow; The pursuit of wholeness walks through uncertainty yet through the human experience; When does grieving end? When does healing happen? Grief in every aspect of life....and what does fully alive mean.
