Now an ordained pastor in the ELCA since 2001, Jillene brings deep spiritual insight and compassion to her work as a certified 300-hour yoga teacher specializing in Grief Yoga and as a Grief, Loss, and End of Life Coach.

This week on Tendrils of Grief, we're joined by Jill Vyn, a Master Adult Chair Coach and compassionate empowerment guide for high-achieving women, professionals, and entrepreneurs. With a background as the co-founder and co-director of a nonprofit, Jill brings both heart and experience to her transformative coaching work. Jill's journey is deeply rooted in personal grief—losing her father at just six years old left her carrying a silent belief that she was unworthy of love. It wasn't until later in life, through energy healing and self-discovery, that she began to unravel that identity shaped by loss and step into her own light. Now, she helps others do the same. In this powerful conversation, Jill shares how mindset work, inner child healing, and energy alignment can help us move beyond fear, release emotional blocks, and fully trust ourselves again. Through her intuitive and compassionate approach, she empowers others to break free from self-doubt and live a life that reflects their true worth. Tune in for an inspiring discussion about healing, identity, and the strength found in reconnecting with who we really are.

In this deeply moving episode of Tendrils of Grief, we welcome Tanya Marcon Moore—an author, advocate, and survivor whose life has been shaped by profound grief, trauma, and unyielding resilience. Tanya's story begins with the tragic loss of her mother at just 13 years old, a turning point that left her vulnerable to abuse and confusion. Her journey from silence to strength reveals the devastating impact of childhood grief and the courage it takes to confront generational trauma. Tanya shares the harrowing experiences of familial betrayal, the complexities of blended family dynamics, and the quiet suffering that often goes unheard.

Throughout her darkest moments, Tanya turned to faith, meditation, and journaling as lifelines. Now, as the author of The Day I Learned to Pump Gas, she uses her voice to advocate for survivors of childhood trauma and grief, challenging societal myths and offering hope for healing.

Dr. Jan Canty is a Detroit native, seasoned psychologist, author, speaker, educator, and host of the Domino Effect of Murder podcast. With over four decades of experience in the mental health field, she holds a terminal degree in psychology and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in family therapy at Wayne State University School of Medicine. In July 1985, Jan's life took a tragic and unexpected turn when her husband of 11 years went missing. A week later, she was called to the Detroit Homicide Division and informed he was the likely victim of a violent crime. His body was later identified at the Wayne County Morgue, marking the beginning of a 30-year chapter of private grief and survival. Jan quietly relocated to the Midwest, where she continued teaching psychology while keeping her personal story hidden. After decades of silence, she now shares her experience to help others navigate the complicated aftermath of homicide and violent loss—both through a professional lens and as a survivor herself. Today, she hosts the internationally heard podcast Domino Effect of Murder, now in its sixth season and reaching listeners in over 22 countries. She's also the author of A Life Divided, a personal memoir, and What Now? Navigating the Aftermath of Homicide and Suicide, a comprehensive guide for survivors. Her upcoming book, Rekindled: Healing Grief, will explore the science and stories of after-death communication. Dr. Canty is also an active advocate for the Innocence Project, working to raise awareness and support for those affected by wrongful convictions and violent crime.   Episode Highlights Aftermath of Tragedy: Navigating Grief in a Post-Pandemic World The Rise of Trauma-Informed Coaching in Mental Health Support Breaking the Silence: Sharing Personal Stories of Loss and Survival The Power of Podcasts in Grief Education and Community Healing AI and Mental Health: How Technology is Supporting Trauma Survivors From Grief to Growth: Turning Loss into Life Purpose Healing the Hidden Wounds: Understanding Complicated Grief Holistic Approaches to Processing Trauma and Emotional Pain The Future of Grief Support: Virtual Reality and Digital Therapy Redefining Resilience: What It Means to Thrive After Loss Rebuilding Identity After Tragedy: Tools for Long-Term Healing True Crime and Healing: The Psychology Behind Survival Stories Spirituality and Science: Bridging the Gap in Grief Recovery Mental Health Advocacy in the Age of Authentic Storytelling The Impact of Collective Grief on Community Wellness Connect with Dr. Jan Canty Website www.jancantyphd.com        Did you enjoy today's episode?   Please subscribe and leave a review.

From Lost In Eros – Book 1A Day of Raucous GamesIn 10 Parts By BradentonLarry.  Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.The Player laughed cheerfully, and said, “That's an awful lot of questions. I'll tell you what, let's make this interesting.”Peter grinned from ear to ear at this, and both Ilsa and Natalia clapped their hands with glee. Keiko seemed pleased, but was more restrained. Igor did not seem to be paying attention to the conversation.Don and Toshia shared a “this is weird” look, and then she said, “What do you mean ‘interesting'?”“I mean, let's play a game. If you win, or every time you get a point, I'll answer a question to the best of my ability.”“And if you win?” Toshia asked skeptically.The Player smiled, and reached out with the end of his walking stick to run it up along the inside of Toshia's leg. He said, “Oh, I'm sure we can work out something as a prize.”Don looked at Toshia, thinking she would want to talk about this, but she only glanced at Don and then said, “Fine, we'll play, but you have to answer honestly.”“Of course!” the Player laughed. “Excellent! To the game room!”“Yay!” Ilsa and Natalia clapped, as the Player led the group down the hallway.“Are you sure about this?” Don asked Toshia in a low voice.“No,” she admitted, “but we've got to get some answers. This place is huge! We'll never find our way out here before whoever took us finds out we've escaped.”“But what if this is who took us?”“They seem more like inmates than wardens to me.”Don had to admit she had a point there, so he thought about changing the subject. He wondered if he should mention what had almost happened in the secret passageway. He had known Toshia for years, had been persistently in love with her for almost all of that time, and he was frankly worried about scaring her off. On the other hand, he admitted that didn't seem likely. Toshia was very reasonable, which was a big part of why he loved her, and it didn't seem reasonable that she would hold anything that had happened here, or was likely to happen, against him. Besides, he had no idea of what to say. “Sorry I almost fucked you”? He wasn't sorry, and she had definitely been very keen on him actually doing it.Just then, the Player led them to a big pair of doors, which he threw open dramatically. As he led the troupe into the large, open room, which seemed to be about the size of a tennis court to Don, the Player announced, “I know! Let's play dodge ball!”“Great idea!” Peter said. “Help me get the place ready, Igor.”“Dodge ball?” Toshia asked the Player, as the two other men hurried to move various balls and rackets and over-sized chess pieces put into cabinets set into the walls.“You do know how to play, don't you?” the Player asked.“Well, yes,” Toshia said, “I was expecting something like strip poker or chess.”“My dear,” he chuckled, “you're already naked. Though, I must say, it looks very good on you. I have been working on rules for strip chess, but I'm not quite happy with them yet.”“Well, say we agree to dodge ball,” Don cut in. “How do the rules work? There are only two of us and six of you.”“Yes, good point,” the Player paused.“Girls against boys!” Peter shouted from across the room.“Ah, splendid idea, Peter!” grinned the Player.“Well, how's that supposed to work?” Toshia asked.“Hmm, give me a moment,” he said as he tapped his chin with the oddly phallic handle of his walking stick. “Okay, how about this? The men against the women. If the women hit one of us with a throw, you two can ask a question. If a man hits a woman with a throw, he gets to play with her.”“Play with her?”“Have sex,” the Player chuckled. “I forgot for a moment that you're new here. Whatever the gentleman says goes, but no more than one orgasm for him. As it is, we'll have to wait for them to finish before getting back to the game.”“But Don will be on your team?”“Yes, but surely he will do his best for our team,” the Player said, “anything else just wouldn't be sporting. I can assure you that the girls will give it their all for your side. We all love a good game.”Don looked over and saw that all three of the Player's women had slipped out of their dresses and high heels and were stretching in anticipation of the game. He had to admit that they seemed to be in very good shape.“Well, what do you think?” he asked Toshia, who had also been checking out the women.“I think they're hot,” she smirked at him.“Agreed, but what about this game? If you get hit, one of the guys is going to get you.”“And it might be you,” she smiled.“Damn, you're enjoying this,” Don laughed.“Might as well make the best of things, right?” she shrugged, “Besides, you know, I'm spry.”“Okay, fine, but he's right you know, I'll be playing to win.”“Of course,” Toshia laughed.He turned to the Player, and said, “Alright, but I'd like to suggest a rule change. I don't think it's unreasonable to think the men will be throwing harder than the women, so they should get a handicap. How about if they catch one of our throws, ”“Before it bounces,” the Player threw in.“Yes, before it bounces. If a woman catches a throw it counts as a point for them, and we get to ask a question.”“And if we catch one of their throws?”“Well, we get possession of the ball, and that's worth something, isn't it?”The Player laughed, “You're a man after my own heart, Don. Agreed!”Once Igor and Peter were finished with the cleanup, everyone gathered around the Player who explained the rules he had agreed to with Toshia and Don. He reached into a small pocket of his jacket and produced a coin. The women won the toss and got first possession of the ball. As they cleared off to the other side of the room, the Player took off his hat and tails, setting them off to the side with his walking stick.The room itself had a very high ceiling, with bright chandeliers providing illumination. The walls, aside from two doors, were covered with cabinet doors, and the floor was covered with a short-napped checkerboard carpeting. The ball Peter had produced was bright green and a bit smaller than the dodge balls Don and Toshia were used to. The Player had indicated a row of squares in the carpet that split the room in two lengthwise and said that no one was to go in that area. While the ball was in play, the girls had to stay on their end, and the boys on theirs.Don watched as the women conferred briefly before the ball was passed to Toshia as the guest of honor and de facto team leader. She tossed the ball from hand to hand, gave it a bounce on the floor, and then walked toward the middle of the room. Her eyes scanned the row of men who all seemed ready to spring into action, with the exception of Igor, who was paying attention, but who appeared completely disinterested. Looking over at Don, on the far right side of the room, Toshia abruptly shifted and hurled the ball straight at Igor.Igor didn't even try to dodge the throw but caught it without any apparent effort. Without pause, he threw it hard at Ilsa who was the target closest to being straight in front of him. The ball was moving very fast, but Ilsa gracefully stepped out of the way. The ball boomed off a cabinet door on the back wall, and bounced back toward the center of the room. Keiko scrambled to intercept it, and as soon as she had it in her grasp, spun and fired it right at Don.Years of kung fu training stood Don in good stead, for the ball rocketed past him with a foot to spare, even though Keiko's aim had been perfectly accurate. Don got hold of the ball then, and threw it with all his might at Toshia, who lived up to her word and was spry enough to get out of the way.The ball volleyed back and forth quite a few times before anyone scored a point. It was soon apparent that Toshia was the favorite target on her side, so she had to work quite hard to avoid getting hit. The women were more even handed, except that they all seemed to be avoiding throwing at Igor. Don could see why; the short man gave no sport and had a disconcerting ability to catch the ball and fire it back with dangerous precision. Ultimately, though, it was the women who scored the first point. Peter tried to catch a throw from Natalia, but the ball managed to slip through his grasp. Don couldn't help but groan a little at his team's loss, even though it meant that the Player would now answer a question.Toshia stepped up to the line of forbidden carpet squares, and said, “How do we get out of here? And I mean this whole building, not just this room.”“Nice save,” Don chuckled.The Player paused to consider, and then said, “I've never tried to leave, and I really don't know why anyone would want to, but you can get out of the building by going out into the garden. I don't know if there's anything interesting outside the garden.”“How do we get to the garden?” Toshia asked.“No,” the Player laughed. “That's another question. Throw the ball, Peter.”Toshia had to throw herself flat on the ground to dodge the fast moving pitch from Peter. Another series of determined volleys followed. As if to make up for his earlier flub, it was Peter who scored the next point by hitting Ilsa in the left tit when Toshia ducked out of the way right in front of her.Everyone clapped, and the Player directed Peter and Ilsa to the center of the room so everyone could watch. Don moved over to sit down on the floor next to Toshia. He planned to ask her how she was doing, but he could tell that she was more interested at the moment in what Peter and Ilsa were doing.Ilsa was almost as tall as Peter, and they met in the center of the room with a long passionate kiss. His hands moved up to caress her very large tits, while hers immediately pulled up his kilt to get at his flaccid member. Her stroking and pulling on it soon had it at half-mast, and then she dropped to her knees in front of him. Without any preliminaries, Ilsa began to suck on it, taking almost the entire length into her mouth at first. As it got harder and longer, she took less of it, though occasionally she would slowly sink down on the entire length, taking the head and a good part of the shaft into her throat. Though he was entitled by the rules to anything, Peter seemed quite content with the quietly intense blowjob he was getting. As he began to rock his hips, fucking his cock in and out of her mouth and throat, Ilsa moaned in approval and increased the speed and strength of her sucking. When Peter began to come, he pulled away from Ilsa's mouth and shot stream after stream of cum on her face, neck and full tits. Everyone clapped, and Keiko and Natalia hurried over to help Ilsa up. Don was a bit surprised and quite titillated to see Keiko enthusiastically lean in to lick and suck Peter's cum from Ilsa's tit and neck.Looking to his side, Don noticed that Toshia was also watching the girls. Then, noticing that he was looking at her, Toshia looked back at Don and then quickly glanced down at the very hard erection he was again sporting.“Okay, well back to the game,” the Player called. “But this is going to take forever, so I suggest we add another ball. Any objections?”There were none, so a second ball was produced. Ilsa had one, and Don had the other. Don's flew straight at Toshia, while Ilsa's shot straight at his head. Toshia dodged, but Don took the hit, which knocked him to the side a bit.As he shook his head to clear it of stars, Toshia asked, “How do we get to the garden?”“I honestly do not recall at the moment,” the Player said. Seeing that this answer wasn't acceptable, he added, “However, if you like, later, we'll help you find the garden. I promise.”Toshia and Don agreed that this was fair enough, and the game resumed. Now that there were two balls in play things were much trickier. The women seemed to coordinate their attacks a bit better than the men, who were basically just throwing at the increasingly tired Toshia. The other girls tried to help out by trying to catch the thrown balls. At one point, Keiko caught a ball only to be hit a split second later. Everyone agreed to call that a draw. The next point was won by Toshia and Natalia who managed to catch the Player with a fast combination that effectively drove him into the second ball.“Who brought us here?” Toshia asked.The Player frowned, and said, “I'm afraid I really don't know. I do have a suggestion as to who you should ask though.”The Player had picked up the ball that had hit him, and Don had the other, both had their sights set on Toshia.When Toshia asked, “Who?” he laughed and said, “That's another question.” Both he and Don threw their balls almost simultaneously.Toshia was used to this by now, though, and was able to twist to the side and down just in time to avoid getting hit. The Player's ball smacked off a side wall and was then plucked out of the air by nimble Keiko. Don's ball, though, smacked into Natalia's shoulder.Everyone cheered Don's luck, including, he noticed, Toshia. As Natalia moved to the middle of the room, Don looked intently at Toshia, who responded by nodding in Natalia's direction and giving him a shooing gesture. “Have fun!” she said with a big grin.Natalia had already gotten down on her knees and was watching him approach with a soft smile and glittering eyes. Don noticed that her hair was still immaculately coifed, despite all the exertions of the game. Of course, he also noticed that there was an exceptionally beautiful woman on her knees in front of him, who was now stroking and kissing his cock. From where he was standing Don could see Ilsa, Keiko and Peter, but couldn't see Toshia, though he knew she was watching. Remembering her reaction in the secret passageway, Don decided he would put on something of a show. He gently stepped to the side, moving slowly so Natalia could move with him, so that Toshia had a good view from the side, as she had for Peter and Ilsa.Don's cock was now fully hard again, and he began to fuck in and out of Natalia's mouth. He pulled almost all the way out and then slowly pushed back in, letting Toshia see the shaft sliding in and out. Natalia knelt there passively with her hands resting on her thighs, allowing Don to set the pace. He held her head lightly in his hands, but was careful not to obstruct Toshia's view of his cock and Natalia's mouth.Though this felt wonderful, and Don knew with all the pent-up tension he'd accumulated since waking up he could easily come very soon, he wanted to do more than just shoot his cum on Natalia as Peter had done to Ilsa. He pulled his cock away from Natalia's mouth, and said, “Please get up on your hands and knees. Face toward Toshia.”Natalia happily complied, and Don moved around behind her and got down on his knees. Looking up to make sure Toshia was watching, Don smiled and took his cock in hand and rubbed the head of it up and down along Natalia's moist lips. She pushed back at him, encouraging him to take her. Don was all too happy to oblige, and pushed the fat head of his cock into her welcoming cunt. Sliding in slowly, he reveled in the sensations as her sheath of soft, moist flesh and strong muscles took him in, spreading to accommodate his thickness. Once he was all the way in, he paused a moment, and then began to pull back out, almost all the way. Then he drove back in all the way, shoving Natalia forward. She caught her balance by shoving her hands out a bit further. She cried out with a little yelp as he filled her so abruptly, his balls slapping against her clit. One more torturous withdrawal and another savage filling, which respectively elicited a moan and a yelp from Natalia, and then Don began to seriously fuck her. He held her by the waist, fucking in and out of her cunt with abandon. Natalia shoved back against him, crying out with pleasure. Don felt her fingers against him as she played with her clit. Looking up, he saw that Toshia was watching both of them, and the expressions on Natalia's face in particular. Although his orgasm was building quickly, Don was surprised that Natalia beat him to it. She screamed and pushed back against him, and he felt her cunt squeezing and pulling on him.Then Don was coming. It felt like he shot a geyser of cum into Natalia, and then another and another. His balls and cock seemed to be shooting his very life into this woman's sweet cunt. Pulse after pulse of semen moved through him into her body. Don was dimly aware that he had thrown his head back and was still coming into Natalia, but all he could feel was the spasming of his cock and the trembling all through his body.Finally, when he opened his eyes, he saw that Natalia had sprawled forward on the carpet with her ass in the air and his cock still deep in her cunt. Everyone in the room was applauding and cheering, including Toshia. Eventually, Don pulled out of Natalia, who whimpered a bit before Keiko, Ilsa, and Toshia came over to help her up. Don had a happy grin on his face, as he watched Toshia with the other girls.She looked at him with a mischievous grin and said, “Look what a mess you made!” She drew his attention down to the cum that was slowly running down the inside of Natalia's thighs. Then Toshia shocked him by reaching down and scooping a healthy glob of it on her fingers. Looking him straight in the eye, Toshia promptly carried the cum to her mouth and sucked it down.She laughed at the expression on his face, and said, “You better get back to your side.”Both Don and Natalia were hardly playing at their best after their encounter, but it was Toshia who got hit next. Certainly the exertion of dodging the vast majority of throws thrown at her team had something to do with the fact that she was unable to dodge the ball that caught her. Another factor was the ball thrown by Peter that she'd had to duck low to avoid. When the Player threw the next ball in that instant, Toshia hardly even saw it coming.In spite of everything that had happened, and everything he'd seen from Toshia leading up to this point, Don was surprised to see how quickly she got into the center of the room and down on her knees. By the time, Don had taken his place with a view, the Player had come up to stand in front of her. He was so tall that Toshia had to look up to get the head of his cock into her mouth as it dangled there in front of him. Don watched raptly as Toshia reached up with both hands to stroke and pull at the long cock in front of her, sucking on the head all the while.As the long black shaft got harder and began to stand up, Toshia sat back and the Player took a small step away from her. Both of Toshia's hands were wrapped around the organ now, and she was bobbing her head a little as she sucked on the head.Don noticed that his hand was in his lap, squeezing his own cock, which was surprisingly enough beginning to return to its usual raging erection. He noticed that Keiko, who was sitting about six feet to his right was looking at him and the cock in his hand.Toshia's fingers now couldn't wrap around the Player's cock, and it was so hard that she had to let it out of her mouth. She leaned in to kiss and suck on his big balls, while reaching up to continue caressing his cock. Then she got up and bent over to continue sucking on the head of his cock. Don found himself thinking that he would love to get up and get behind Toshia now as she was bent over like that.Don noticed that Keiko was crawling closer to him. She smiled at him and sat down next to him, turning back to watch the show.The Player leaned down to say something to Toshia. Without taking her mouth off his cock, she nodded emphatically. He said something else, which met with another nod, and then she released his cock. The Player promptly and gracefully lay down on his back. Toshia leaned over him to kiss and lick his cock, which now lay on top of his belly. She ran her hands over the big phallus lovingly, and straddled his thighs. Gradually she worked her way up until she was over the base of his cock. After pausing there to rub her cunt and clit against the underside of his fat, hard organ, she kissed the head of his cock and then got to her feet over him.Don felt Keiko's hand steal into his lap and take hold of his cock. He also noticed that on the other side of the room Natalia had her head in Peter's lap. Apparently, the Player's little entourage th

Today we open with a suggestion to CNN to get Abby Phillip to take back the propaganda point that she used to shut down Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) regarding the wasteful allocation of nearly $50million dollars for condoms in Gaza. We have the receipts and it shows the payment ready to be sent had DOGE not stopped it. On the other hand, maybe we should let Legacy/mainstream media continue to lie, since it will only hasten their end. We then spend a lot of time on even more elements of USAID that have come to light since yesterday's show. One of the areas the Democrats are desperate to keep under wraps is just how far back we have been funding gain-of-function to create a coronavirus that can infect humans. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been tasked as Acting Director to USAID while the DOGE team can work with them to assess what is still viable spending and what is not. While we discuss that, we hear from a USAID employee on their mad scramble to hide their woke/DEI accouterments when they heard DOGE was in the building. Outside of the building, Democrat lawmakers continually lied to the American people, including the Designated Liar himself, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD). Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) told those on the Left to “call someone who cares,” knowing that this is exactly what the people wanted when they voted for Donald Trump. Sen. Chuck “You” Schumer (D-NY) teased us with the idea that DOGE might go after the IRS next! Please, don't make threats you don't intend to keep! Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is certainly in the running for one of the dumbest representatives in the House. She took to her social media to tell us how unintelligent Elon Musk is. You cannot make this up if you tried! On a positive note, at least 1,000 EPA employees are being fired, 20,000 Federal employees have decided to resign and take the severance package and we will likely see 4000 more let go when Trump eliminates the Department of Education. We also get a win from Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum who is going to open up public lands for energy exploration and extraction. And, finally, it looks like RFK, Jr. was voted out of committee and will head to the full Senate for a final confirmation vote. Word is, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard will follow suit. Doesn't winning feel great!

In this heartfelt episode of Tendrils of Grief, we are joined by Katie, a talented actress whose journey into acting began two years after losing her mother to dementia at a young age. Katie's role as Denise in Sophie Jones marked the start of a new chapter in her life—one that beautifully weaves together her previous roles as an English major, mother, and portrait photographer. Katie is widely recognized for her roles as Beth in Winter Island and Sadie in Going Home, seasons 1 & 2. She has earned accolades for her work in award-winning films like Front Porches and the web series Gamer.

Whether it's through her nourishing meals, her yoga flows, or the profound experiences of her retreats, Jennifer demonstrates that it is possible to create a life you don't have to retreat from.

In this heartfelt episode of Tendrils of Grief, we welcome Cleo Childs, a spoken word artist who recently released her debut poetry album, "Moving With", on May 15th. This deeply personal collection is the result of two and a half years of writing, chronicling Cleo's profound journey through grief after losing her mother to Alzheimer's when she was just 28 years old. Cleo's passion for writing is deeply rooted in her family history. With her mother as an English major and her grandmother—a 30-year English teacher—now serving as one of her editors, Cleo naturally turned to poetry as her tool for processing grief. Through her spoken word album, she explores the evolution of her emotions, from having her mother, to losing her, and finally arriving at a place of peace and acceptance. With "Moving With", Cleo aims to provide an authentic and honest portrayal of grief, creating a space of connection and understanding for others navigating loss. Her hope is to show that no one has to grieve alone and to foster a sense of community in shared experiences. Join us as Cleo shares her story, her creative process, and the transformative power of using art to navigate loss and find healing. This is an episode full of raw emotion, creative inspiration, and a reminder that grief, though isolating, can be a journey we don't have to take alone.

Over the next week or so, I wanted to reshare the top several episodes of 2024! These are essentially "voted on" by you, the listeners, based on the episodes that had the most downloads over the course of the past calendar year.​​For longtime listeners of the podcast, I think this will be a welcomed revisit of the compelling, invigorating conversations had with these guests; for newer listeners of The Red Light Report, you are undoubtedly in for a treat. Sit back, relax and enjoy learning from some of the best minds and thought leaders in the wellness and longevity spaces!- The more and more I learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture, the more I am intrigued and it just makes intuitive sense. It also helps when you learn this deep and complex knowledge from someone as intelligent and articulate as (now) three-time guest, Dr. Chris Motley. Long-time listeners of the show are familiar with Dr. Motley and his amazing command and intuition when it comes to TCM and other holistic modalities; new listeners.... you are in for a treat! He is by far one of my favorite humans to talk with, on and off the mic. Dr. Motley not only speaks from his depth of learning the information, but even more so from hands-on experience from his full day's of treating patients. During our conversation today, he details some fascinating discoveries he's made via experimenting with red light therapy and acupuncture points; he has observed some profound results particularly with viruses!  We also take a deep dive into the importance of our fascial system and why it is a crucial (and, unfortunately, a highly underrated and overlooked organ system) facet of our overall wellbeing. Most commonly known for playing a major role in our mobility and flexibility, the fascia plays a much deeper role in our vitality. Dr. Motley and I also discuss the invaluable role that cupping plays in optimizing fascial health, which leads to innumerable benefits that we detail during our talk. ​​We also delve into some intriguing topics that are of special interest to Dr. Motley currently, including psychological aspect of physiological growth, the connection between psychological stress and organ growth patterns and the exploration of devices that detect static charges on the skin for diagnostic purposesI hope you enjoy the conversation today with Dr. Motely.

In this powerful episode, we are joined by Sabrina Trobak, a Registered Clinical Counsellor, author, and trauma specialist. Sabrina has spent decades helping people uncover the roots of their pain, particularly those who struggle with anxiety, insecurity, and self-doubt. Her work focuses on one crucial truth: so many of us are carrying the heavy burden of core beliefs like not good enough, not important, or not valued—beliefs that often stem from trauma or difficult experiences in childhood. Sabrina's book, Not Good Enough: Understanding Your Core Belief and Anxiety – A Handbook, is a heartfelt guide to understanding how these beliefs form and, more importantly, how we can begin to rewrite them. In this episode, Sabrina opens up about the profound impact trauma has on our sense of self and how we can break free from the emotional chains that hold us back. Whether you've experienced trauma yourself or simply feel weighed down by anxiety or self-doubt, Sabrina's wisdom will resonate deeply. She shares not only her extensive expertise but also the compassion and hope that healing is possible.

In this deeply personal solo episode, I open up about the three most transformative lessons I've learned on my grief journey. This episode is not just about coping—it's about finding a way to live fully, even as grief becomes part of who you are. I share raw, honest reflections, including a vulnerable moment with my daughter Madison that challenged me to confront feelings of shame and guilt. Through this experience, I realized that healing comes when we stop judging our emotions and start embracing them. Grief is not something we "get over." It's a lifelong companion, but one that can walk beside joy, hope, and meaning. I hope my story helps you feel less alone and gives you the strength to honor your own journey, wherever you are in it.   Episode Highlights   ·       Grief journey lessons ·       Coping with grief ·       Healing from loss ·       Grief and personal growth ·       Emotional healing through grief ·       Grief and vulnerability ·       Conversations about grief ·       Overcoming shame in grief ·       Living with grief ·       Grief and self-discovery ·       Grief and family connections ·       Grieving parent stories ·       Navigating grief with children ·       How to embrace grief without guilt ·       Transforming grief into personal growth ·       Talking openly about grief with loved ones ·       Healing through vulnerability and connection ·       Lessons learned from grieving a loved one ·       Balancing joy and grief in everyday life ·       The lifelong impact of grief on families ·       Emotional breakthroughs during the grief process ·       How sharing grief stories can lead to healing ·        Parenting through loss and grief   Did you enjoy today's episode?   Please subscribe and leave a review.

In this episode, we welcome Melissa Miller, an experienced caregiver and entrepreneur with over 15 years as a Certified Nursing Assistant, primarily working in Long-Term Care facilities. Melissa's caregiving journey has included caring for her grandmother, father, and her husband following his epilepsy diagnosis in July 2020. When her husband's health prevented her from returning to traditional employment, Melissa decided to create her own business, finding the flexibility she needed as a spousal caregiver and stay-at-home partner.   What started as a blog has grown into her true passion: http://www.caregivingentrepreneurshipreimagined.com .

In today's episode of the Tendrils of Grief podcast, we are joined by Jason Tuttle, a father who has bravely transformed his profound grief into a mission to help others.

His life took a heartbreaking turn when he lost his 15-year-old special needs son on January 28, 2022.   In the wake of this unimaginable loss, Jason made a powerful decision: to channel his grief into something meaningful.
