Or whatever Future said… It’s important to name your goals and work towards them, but it’s equally important to reflect on the things that you get done along the way. In this episode of Carlie’s Couch, we discuss the importance of reflecting on your achievements, if writing down goals really matters, and give some tips to celebrate yourself and your journey along the way.

Often, the act of grieving is reserved for the deaths of loved ones and while those are important, we all experience varying degrees of loss daily: relationships, friendships, rejection, older versions of ourselves, our vision for how we thought life would be, etc. But how do we actually grieve? We’re never really taught how to take, give, or hold space in those moments of loss. This week on Carlie’s Couch, we discuss the six stages of grief, finding meaning in these moments, and how to support people who are grieving or experiencing loss.

Should you care what others think or about their opinions? To some degree, absolutely; but when does it become too important? And whose opinion actually matters?
