With insights from the mind of a therapist and experiences as a mom of two twenty-somethings, paired with my own first-hand experience as a 26-year-old, we’ll unravel the twists & turns of twentysomethinghood together. Grab a notebook and pull up a chair in our office for unfiltered & real conversations.

Chapter 24: The Life Manual for Dealing with Grief in your 20s

We experience loss almost every day in our 20s. Maybe it's a small loss like your partner starts acting differently, you have to find a new roommate, or you're switching teams at your job. Maybe it's a little bigger-- you lost your job, you just graduated college and have to move home, you went through a friend breakup, your situationship ghosted you.

Whatever it may be, anytime change occurs and something is lost, it's a death. And it's NORMAL to feel grief. It's NORMAL for things not to be okay sometimes.

Today, we are going to unpack what it means to process grief in a streamlined way with expert and author on the subject, Dr. Karen Kramer. Dr. Kramer is going to offer clear steps on how to navigate your grief amidst our society's climate of toxic positivity. We'll discuss the importance of normalizing these feelings in our 20s and how to have honest, raw, and real conversations with other 20somethings in your life.

THIS EPISODE’S SYLLABUS STEPS:

Practice listening and creating spaces for those in your life. Encourage conversations to be vulnerable by using the phrase, “tell me more,” if someone says they’re not having the best day. 

To heal your own feelings of grief in a healthy way, follow these steps:

Use your logical mind: What is the rational thought and truth about what is going on?

Use your heart:  How does this make me feel? 

Use your feet: What are the actions I can do to change this feeling?

Use your hands: What support do I need today, informal or formal? A friend? A lawyer? 

Use your eyes: Can you imagine what the new normal will look like? What is the vision moving forward?

In this minisode, we are going to unpack the feeling of grief. No, I don’t just mean when you feel grief after your grandma passes away or when you have to put your childhood dog down. We actually experience grief (to different degrees) almost every day in our 20s. But nobody ever talks about it!

Today, we are going to get real about grief that might be showing up more frequently in our lives and how to deal with it in a healthy way.

Chapter 23: The Life Manual for Healthy Living in your 20s

Let’s be real: sometimes our health is just not the number one priority on the list. Whether you’re binge drinking every weekend in college or stressed and losing sleep over your job, it’s not always easy to take care of your physical health in your 20s. 

Today we are lucky to have holistic health coach Meghan Swidler, AKA “That Wellness Gal,” share her tips on how to heal some of the most important areas of your body: the gut, skin, and hormones. 

Meghan is a bestselling author who wrote From Within, and as an expert in cleansing and detoxification, she guides individuals to live their healthiest lifestyles from the inside out. In this episode, she’ll provide some incredible insights, resources, and realistic steps that we can all take to better care for our bodies NOW, preventing issues in the future. 

THIS EPISODE’S SYLLABUS STEPS: 

Pay attention to your symptoms. Your body is signaling to you what problems need to be fixed.

Set times on your calendar to prioritize your health and eating. Maybe that includes grocery shopping on certain days and batch prepping meals. 

Eat plant-based whole foods, sleep 7-9 hours a night, move your body, manage your nervous system, stay hydrated, and limit coffee and alcohol. 

Implement cleansing modalities into your routines. This can include sweating, infrared sauna, cold immersion, red light therapy, and drinking fresh pressed juices. 

Start by working on just one pillar of your health that feels realistic to you, rather than trying to tackle every problem at once. 

Remember, it’s all about balance.

Chapter 21:

Ding! You just received a paragraph-long text that makes your blood boil. How do you react? Do your thumbs immediately go crazy? Or, do you pause and take a breath before responding?

Today, we're having a conversation with Super Bowl Champion and Mental Health Advocate, Aaron Taylor. As a former professional athlete and founder of Elite Mentals, a solutions-based initiative to reframe the conversation around mental wellness, Aaron has so much wisdom to offer about the psychology of reactivity and how to respond to tough situations more efficiently.

In this episode, we’ll answer the question: why do we react to situations in a particular way? It's normal to get defensive when a manager yells at you or your partner does something to frustrate you. However, there are tools you can use to respond to such situations in a better way--a way that aligns with your future self and allows you to build healthy relationships.
