When was the last time you relly talked with someone about loss? Or flexed your crying muscles? In this episode, Embodiment Artist, Emotional Fitness Co-Creator, and mother Cara H. Cadwallader joins us to share about her journey dealing with compounded grief after losing her life partner Burt to cancer at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. She shares about her journey as a mother and a widow amidst a shifting world and addresses such important facets of grief, like the urge to judge ourselves and our reactions, the challenge of allowing ourselves to fully feel and experience our emotions, and the instinct to apologize for our feelings. Listen for inspiration to be open about your grief, flex your crying muscules, and go on the journey that you need after a loss.
