Interview: Grief Self-Care Author Alexandra N. Carroll
Have you read "Untangling Life After Loss: A Griever's Guide to Creating a Self-Care Plan?" If not, you should!
The lovely author, Alexandra N. Carroll, PhD. joined me on the podcast to share a window into her own personal heartbreak with the death of her beloved mother and how self-care helped her survive the heaviness of this loss.
Alexandra was working in academia when she experienced the unexpected death of her mother and amid the fast paced demands of her busy life, she crafted an approach to self-care that allowed her to slow down and nurture herself.
In this interview she shared some of her favorite simple self-care approaches (such as tea drinking, crafting and lowering expectations for what self-care in grief looks like).
She also spoke about the impact grief had on her body and why self-care practices became a cherished survival tool in the ten years following her loss.
Alexandra is warm, engaging, open-hearted and so willing to be vulnerable about self-care in times of grief. I am so grateful that she wrote this book and was willing to talk with me!
Her book will be required reading for all massage therapists who train to facilitate "Self Care in the First Years of Grief" groups through my upcoming 2026 training program!
