The holiday season can be particularly challenging when you've lost loved ones, and the absence of my parents this Christmas has stirred up complex emotions within me.

Grief is an unpredictable and all-consuming emotion that can catch you off guard, even when you think you've experienced it before. 

In this episode, I share my personal experience of navigating grief during the holidays and the importance of honoring our emotions while creating new traditions. By reframing our perspective and focusing on gratitude for the loved ones still in our lives, we can find ways to celebrate and find joy, even while coping with loss. 

Through mindfulness and the emotional support of close friends and family, we can embrace the complexities of life and cherish the memories of those we hold dear. Join me as I reflect on the power of reminiscence, the beauty of connection, and the resilience of the human spirit in coping with grief.

Are you feeling stuck in a life situation that doesn't fulfill you? 

Do you long to make a change but feel held back by responsibilities and the fear of discomfort? 

In this episode, I share my own journey of leaving my beloved city life for the isolated suburbs as a single mom, and how I eventually made my way back after 20 long years. I discuss the challenges and sacrifices of embracing change and the importance of holding true to your vision and being willing to endure some difficulties of your life transitions. 

No matter how impossible it may seem, you have the power to reshape your life and find your happiness. Let my story be an example of how, with patience, positivity and perseverance, you can make your dreams a reality - one step at a time.

Do you struggle with staying friends with your ex after a breakup? 

It can be challenging to navigate these relationships, especially when your current partner or others don't understand or approve. 

However, I believe that ending a relationship with civility and respect can lead to valuable, long-lasting friendships.

In this episode, I share my personal experiences and insights on maintaining friendships with my ex-boyfriends. These men have been there for me through various stages of my life, and our shared history and connection have allowed us to maintain strong bonds, even years after our romantic relationships have ended.

I discuss the importance of being mindful and respectful of your ex's current partner and not excluding them or reminiscing about your past relationship in their presence. By handling breakups with grace and maturity, you can create the foundation for a beautiful friendship that stands the test of time. 

Join me as I explore how uncoupling doesn't have to be a tragic end, but rather the beginning of a new chapter in your relationship.

XO,

Michelle
