In this episode, Nicola Duffell and I explore the profound and often misunderstood realm of grief, emphasising its role in personal and collective liberation. We discuss grief's wild, messy nature and how that frees us from conditioned needs for structure, control and neatness. We open up to grief in the collective sense, a grief for a world that is burning, fairytales we lived in before brutal initiations into stark realities, our connection to the earth, our lineages and to each other. We discuss how expanding our relationship with grief is essential for reimagining future possibility and can foster deeper humanity and healing.About Nicola: Nicola Duffell calls herself a Life Mentor, Grief + Soul Activist - Poet, Writer + Author. She sees herself as a grief worker, with journeying with grief at the heart of all she does as a space-holder and human.Key Topics:The societal misunderstanding of grief and its implicationsGrief as an ongoing apprenticeship and relational processThe role of storytelling and ritual in grief workThe concept of soul severance and the shattering of illusionsThe importance of collective grief and community supportDecolonizing grief and restoring cultural practicesThe gates of grief and their significanceThe relationship between grief, trauma, and systemic oppressionThe role of imagination and poetry in healing griefPractical ways to tend to grief in daily lifeChapters:00:00 Introduction to the episode and guest Nicola Duffell02:20 Why grief is not just about loss of loved ones05:23 Society's misunderstanding and repression of grief08:25 The myth of grief being finite and 'getting over it'09:54 Grief in all aspects of life and its relational nature11:18 The sacredness of grief and the importance of community15:57 Collective grief in times of global crisis22:43 The shattering of illusions and worldviews26:21 The necessity of grief for liberation and reimagination36:57 The moments that punctuate our collective grief44:37 Healing the earth's grief and the role of nature54:38 The link between unresolved grief and war55:31 Decolonial approaches to grief and cultural restoration01:00:21 The gates of grief and their significance01:04:10 The importance of truth and unearthing hidden grief01:07:36 The ongoing journey of grief and reimagining possibilitiesReferences:Nicola Duffell: https://www.nicoladuffell.com/Francis Weller: https://www.francisweller.net/Life's Poetry by Nicola Duffell: https://www.nicoladuffell.com/lifes-poetry-the-book

 I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Ellen Vora to the podcast! Her holistic approach to healing deeply resonates with my own journey through vertigo. As a psychiatrist with a B.A. from Yale and an M.D. from Columbia, Dr. Vora passionately navigates the complexities of mental health treatment. She highlights how conventional methods can often lead to a cycle of multiple prescriptions, stressing the importance of addressing root causes rather than merely managing symptoms. As the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety and Season of the Witch, she shares her personal experiences, including transformative moments in Bali that inspired her advocacy for a functional medicine approach that considers the whole person. Specializing in depression, anxiety, insomnia, and women's mental health, Dr. Vora combines her board-certified psychiatric training with insights from integrative and functional medicine, along with her unique backgrounds as an acupuncturist and yoga teacher. Tune in for enlightening discussions designed to empower you on your mental health journey!

Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!In today's episode, we chat with writer and author, Ellis Weiner. From his early days as an editor at National Lampoon and columnist for Spy Magazine, to his work with the Muppets (including writing the mock behind-the-scenes book The Great Muppet Caper!: The Making of the Masterpiece!), Ellis has left his mark on comedy. But he's also touched the lives of countless children through his work in television. He co-created the beloved PBS series The Puzzle Place and contributed his writing talents to shows like Reading Rainbow, Shining Time Station, The Noddy Shop, Clarissa Explains it All, Bear in the Big Blue House, Barney & Friends, and Between the Lions.

On what it was like covering Donald Trump's recent inauguration. On why fools continue to believe Trump cares about them. On whether American democracy can survive. On his early journalism days at Gawker.

I feel like I scored big to have Ragen Chastain on the podcast. She is a deep dive researcher, writer, speaker and font of information on fatness and medicine, sports, fitness and society. If you've thought it, she's written about it. I can't recommend her newsletter enough. I nearly cancelled our interview so I could take more time to collect my thoughts. Everything I want to talk about, she's there (including her two marathons and champion Dance career- time to NERD OUT ON DANCE AND RUNNING!). It feels like we said so much and only scratched the surface of these important topics: making running and athletics ACTUALLY inclusive, GLP drugs like Ozempic and the sc-fi seemingly magic pill world we're now living in, what does it mean when being a Fat person is classified as a 'lifelong' disease, and so much more. I hope to have Ragen back, if only to keep nerding-out about running and dance. You can find Ragen, Speaker, Writer, Researcher, Board Certified Patient Advocate and her work on IG, monthly Workshops, newsletter here.She is also the Co-author of HAES Health Sheets, Weight-Neutral Healthcare Guidesand does speaking engagements at sizedforsuccess.com as well as being a Fellow at Campaign for Size FreedomHer current Study is Experiences of Weight Stigma and Iatrogenic Harm in the Highest Weight PatientsRagen mentioned several 'back of the pack' running influencers and fat activists:Ilya Parker - Decolonizing Fitness Mirna Valerio - The Mirnavator Martinus Evans - 300 pounds and runningI talked up my Virtual Run Club for being actually beginner/inclusive.And a piece I wrote on fitness being a hobby.

Teresa StrasserTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Teresa Strasser. Teresa first came into my heart as co-host / sidekick on The Adam Carolla Show on the radio, then in podcast form. I have wanted to get Teresa on the show for quite some time. Special thanks to Vinnie Tortorich for helping make this happen. In this episode, Teresa and I chat about how she came to work on the radio in Hollywood, in sort of a unique way. Then we discuss her podcast with Gina Grad, called Easy Listening. She explains what the show started out as, and why the show recently ended. Next we get into her book. The book is called Making It Home: Life Lessons From a Season of Little League. Teresa explains why she felt like she needed to write this book, and who it is for. The backstory of the book, is that Teresa and her father are repairing their relationship and coping with grief, while attending every game in a season of her son's little league baseball games. Teresa lost her brother and her mother 4 months apart. This is the story of coping, grieving, and healing..... through the ups & downs of her little boy's athletic efforts... all while repairing her relationship with her father. This is an extraordinary story, written by a remarkable author. I enjoyed this book very much. Touching, funny, sentimental, while on the edge of your seat with the winning and losing of the season. We do touch a bit on what it is like to grow up separated from your sibling, and Teresa tells a story of sweet, sweet vindication from her wicked, wicked stepmom. GET THIS BOOK!
