  The new podcast season begins May 14th, but we’re bringing you a special episode this week with author and grief therapist Claire Bidwell Smith.  In this episode, Claire and I discuss processing grief during this time, how not to judge or feel guilt about our grief, supporting others (and ourselves) when we cannot be with loved ones, grieving in front of our children, moving grief through our body, and how none of us will be perfect at any of this (and that’s ok).  Here’s Claire:        Show Notes:     Good Food Cooking School  Claire Bidwell Smith’s Website + Instagram  Claire’s Books Arbor Day Foundation Memorial Trees **** One Part Plant CookbookKnow Your EndoOne Part Podcast Family Community Page  ***** This episode was also supported by Amazon.

Special Episode: Processing Grief During These Times With Claire Bidwell Smith (Grief Therapist)

Right now, a lot of us are asking some pretty deep questions about our careers and how we make our money.  

Is this the job I really want to be doing? 

Is there something more "me" out there? 

Should my job be changing the world? Or can I just get my check and go watch more TV.

Host Jessica Murnane also has these questions. And in this new limited series, you'll get to the bottom of them together. She'll be asking all the questions to all the people whose jobs we think we want. So we can figure out if we want them, too.

Including the difference between a doula and midwife, what it means to be a “full spectrum” doula, training vs. self-educating, to certify or not to certify, insurance/liability, the different types of doulas (there are many!), finding your speciality/niche, pricing, knowing when you’re ready for your first client, and avoiding burnout.
