Shameless Leadership

796: Nadia Ahrens: Grief, Loss, and Soul Work


Listen Later

Nadia Ahrens is a psychotherapist and spiritual life coach. A graduate of Columbia University, she's been helping women heal for over twenty years. Nadia believes that we all struggle and have trauma and tragedy to grow from, herself included. She shares her experience of losing her eight-year-old son in 2016, so she can be a beacon for others. Along with working 1:1 with her clients, she also leads workshops, online groups, and retreats. Nadia is also a hypnotherapist and uses this creative and spiritual modality in her work. Using a blend of clinical expertise and hypnotherapy, she helps women turn their wounds into wisdom.

I have worked with Nadia personally and referred others to her as well. Her work is so transformational. I am so excited to share her magic with you all. 


Listen in to hear Nadia share:

  • How to be intentional about how to give the best of us, not the rest of us
  • How she managed the grief of losing her son Jack when he was 8 years old
  • How she shifted from waiting to die to choosing to live after Jack’s death
  • Why she made herself sit in the black hole of grief before she started making her way out
  • How to check in on a grieving friend in a thoughtful and intentional way
  • The concept of soul work especially as you navigate hard moments or season
  • The importance of holding space for “this is happening for me” vs “this is happening to me”
  • What hypnotherapy is and what it is not - the myths and the truth around this powerful form of trauma healing
