Losing someone close, or facing a significant personal loss, is an indescribably painful experience. And keeping a business afloat, creating content, and supporting a community while being immersed in grief is a challenge that’s hard to grasp until you’ve been through it.

Gina Moffa, an NYC-based psychotherapist with a rich history in trauma and grief work, including roles at Mount Sinai Hospital and aiding Holocaust survivors, has penned "Moving On Doesn't Mean Letting Go: A Modern Guide to Navigating Loss." This book broadens our perception of grief beyond just death, offering insights and tools for self-reflection on its multifaceted nature. And hang in there if you don’t think you’ve directly experienced grief because it will also help you understand the impact on other people and how you can help.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

1. Navigating running a business while going through grief
2. The physical manifestations of grief and the importance of self-care
3. How unexpected triggers of grief can catch us off guard
4. The therapeutic value of finding and participating in a grief-support community
5. The unique challenges posed by our constantly connected, always-on society
