A significant loss can come in many shapes and sizes and has the power to change us at a fundamental level. That rebirthing we go through after a big loss is so important and can also be so painful.

Episode Summary:

We love to be in control. We love to know what's going to happen, how long it will last, and what effects it will have on us. But what if, like a tree in the wind, flexibility and surrender are our greatest tools? What if discomfort can be our friend?

Episode Summary:

When someone passes away, the loss can bring us to our knees metaphorically - and sometimes literally. When it's literal, that's the body talking, echoing the heart. Crying can be like that too. Today we look at intention, death, and tears.

Today we revisit one of our most popular episodes, an early interview with Sheryl Paul, author of "The Conscious Bride". Sheryl's work allows us to reflect on how the pain, grief, discomfort, and vulnerability that can arise throughout the wedding process can actually be doorways into joy if we are willing to let them in.
