In this Big Talk, Gabby chats with her dear friend, New York Times-bestselling author Kris Carr, about her new book, I'm Not a Mourning Person: Braving Loss, Grief, and the Big Messy Emotions that Happen When Life Falls Apart. They go deep, discussing how confronting grief often brings a cascade of suppressed feelings—anger, jealousy, shame—and emphasize how facing these emotions (rather than amputating them) offers deep healing and an opportunity to be reborn into a higher vibration.

Kris Carr is a multiple New York Times-bestselling author, wellness activist and cancer thriver. She’s been called a “force of nature” by O magazine and was named a “new role model” by the New York Times. Kris is also a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul100, a group of the most influential thought leaders today. Other media appearances include Good Morning America, the Today Show, and the Oprah Winfrey Show. She and her work have been featured in Glamour, Prevention, Scientific American, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal and other national publications. Kris has helped millions of people take charge of their health and live like they mean it through her award-winning blog, books, online courses and membership communities.
