July 15, 2023Dr. Lee Warren - Healing from a Grieving Neurosurgeon's Perspective
Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!
On today’s show, we’re going to be discussing the tragic death of an adult child that’s been deemed a homicide. And it’s one where many questions never get answered, we’ll hear how our guest found himself enrolled in the graduate school of human suffering.
After the tragic loss of his son, as a man of science and faith, he discovered a unique perspective on grief and trauma. I’m truly honored to introduce you to our guest today, Dr. Lee Warren. He’s not only an award-winning author of Hope is the First Dose: A Treatment Plan for Recovering from Trauma, Tragedy, and Other Massive Things (among other books!), but he’s also practicing neurosurgeon, a podcast host, as well as a bereaved father.

Here’s what (or who) we talk about:
Dr. Warren’s experience being a surgeon in a military unit in Iraq.
His story on how he got around to becoming an author on top of being a neurosurgeon and a podcast host!
How did he provide support for patients when he’d just given them a terrible diagnosis?
Shortening the “learning curve” of processing hard feelings and emotions.
The story behind his son’s tragic death and how Dr. Warren made an emotional pivot through a friend’s helpful words.
Based on scientific research, you are in control to some degree of how your brain decides to think. What can you do with this new revelation?
And much more!

July 08, 2023Zoya Bokhoor - Feeling is Healing
Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!
Our topic continues with a theme that’s been threading throughout many of our episodes, and that is child death. As parents, we’re supposed to care, love and protect our children. And when one of them dies, it’s out of order. We’re the ones that are meant to die first.
Our guest today is Zoya Bokhoor, whose career changed as she journeyed through her own grief after the death of her son, Roy. And I’m truly fascinated at how many of us who’ve experienced a death and found a way to move forward have actually found our calling and our passion for the work, myself included.

Here’s what (or who) we talk about:
The journey from being a customer service rep to becoming an empath.
Giving back to others as the first step to feeling again.
Zoya breaking out of the “world” that she grew up in.
Finding healing in personal growth programs more so than with therapists.
The importance of having the right support.
Using meditation as a means of healing.
Feeling is healing! Healing doesn’t mean you’re never going to be sad again.
How can coaching and reiki help with your healing journey?
And much more!

July 01, 2023Tracee Dunblazier - You Don’t Have to be Happy All the Time!
Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!
I’m really excited to be speaking on this topic of transformative grief. For those of you who have followed us for a while, you’ll discover that the majority of my guests have been transformed by their own grief. And I have to include myself here and pinch myself because who would have thought, I certainly didn’t expect all this when I was going through my own grief 12 years ago, that I ended up actually transforming my life, from working in a hospital to training as a grief coach. And now I’m here as a podcast host, interviewing the most incredible people.
I am truly honored to introduce our guest, Tracee Dunblazier. And she’s going to explain to us why this is so and how those grieving can learn to transform their own grief. Tracee is an eight-time national award-winning author. She’s a respected intuitive coach, a high-energy keynote presenter, and a shaman. She also has a new book that’s out called Transformative Grief: An Ancient Ritual of Healing for Modern Times.

Here’s what (or who) we talk about:
What is transformative grief? Why is it the glue that connects us to ourselves? Grieving changes how we see things!
Emotion can get stuck in the body. What happens if you don’t release all that energy?
The difference between grief from mourning.
Closure is not just jumping to the “end”. It’s a completion of an entire cycle!
Breaking free from the culture that doesn’t allow us to process our grief and trauma.
The value of laughing and crying.
Knowing the “why’s” in life and understanding why certain things happen to you.
And much more!

June 24, 2023Karla McLaren - Grief is a Supportive Emotion
Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!
In this episode, we’re talking about grief itself. How many of us know what to do when we're experiencing grief? Certainly, it isn't something that's taught or modelled very often. So, it's natural we flounder in its midst. I'm certain there'll be a deeper understanding of grief and its purpose by the end of our time together today.
Our guest, I’m thrilled to say, is Karla McLaren, who has a master’s in education, an award-winning author, a social science researcher, and an empathy expert. Her work focuses on her grand unified theory of emotions, which revalues even the most negative emotions and opens startling new pathways into self-awareness, effective communication, and healthy empathy.

Here’s what (and who) we talk about:
How growing up with a lot of intense emotions led to Karla helping many others deal with these same emotions.
“Discovering” grief and learning the ability to heal from indigenous wisdom.
Grief is a communal emotion.
What are grief rituals? How can they help an individual in search of healing?
Considering “dropping down” instead of “holding up”.
What makes grief so overwhelming and painful?
The difference between grief from sadness.
The purpose of anxiety and panic in our lives.
And much more!

Her lifelong work focuses on her grand unified theory of emotions, which revalues even the most “negative” emotions and opens startling new pathways into self-awareness, self-healing, and healthy empathy.

June 17, 2023Edward Miskie - Getting the Life You're Supposed to Have
Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!
Today we’re going to be discussing a grief that is felt and is present even when there isn’t a death of someone we love. Instead, it’s the death of the life and the world we thought we had when we’re given a terminal health diagnosis. And this not only affects the person but also their loved ones.

Our guest today is Edward Miskie, a writer, producer, and performer, who is now celebrating 10 years of surviving a rare type of cancer!

Here’s what (and who) we talk about:
Blazing through life with musicals and making friends, then suddenly lying down in a hospital bed.
Edward’s way of denying and attempting to gain control over his diagnosis.
“Hurry up and do it while you’re still breathing.”
Using humor to face death. It’s necessary to deal with your emotions in various ways.
Edward’s experience of finally being cancer-free.
The value of figuring out what you really want in life – from small things like food to bigger things like who you want to be!
And much more!

June 10, 2023Judy Lipson - Sisters, Skating, and Support
Do let us know what you found helpful - thank You!
Today we’re going to be talking about unresolved grief. Grief can be sneaky, and it often shows up when we least expect it. That’s why it’s important to know the events behind the grief to understand its nature.
But we experience grief in many different forms throughout our lives. Unfortunately, we don’t always recognize or have the language to understand or communicate these emotions. It’s not uncommon for a few unfortunate events to snowball into something much more serious, like illness or depression. And this is why it’s so important to recognize that grief can come in many different forms and offer support to those who may be experiencing it, even if it isn’t death related.

I am excited to introduce you to Judy Lipson, who has survived the loss of two sisters and has lived with unprocessed emotions for 30 years. In 2011, Judy founded Celebration of Sisters, an annual ice-skating fundraiser to commemorate the lives of her two sisters, Jane and Margie. Judy is an author of several published articles, a keynote speaker for the Bereaved Parents USA Conference in 2023, and she’s also authored a book called Celebration of Sisters: It Is Never Too Late To Grieve.

Here’s what (and who) we talk about:
The unique grief of dealing with the loss of two siblings. Grief accumulates through time if not appropriately addressed!
How Judy’s grief affected how she celebrated her birthdays.
The value of memories to one’s journey of healing.
Gaining the desire and confidence to help others deal with their grief.
Finding the direction to start writing a book to share with others.
The book’s effect on Judy’s healing.
And much more!
You can get Judy’s book on her website! https://www.judylipson.org/

In this episode, we feel the kind of grief at the death of beloved family members, especially those of our parents and the matriarchs of our family. Our parents teach us about love and how to survive in the world, but it’s our grandparents that teach us about unconditional love.

“Focusing on the job” until it’s over, then the grief starts to hit.
