            It's that time of year again! Time to dust off the holiday decorations, put on your best smile, and pretend like everything is okay. The reality is, for many of us, the holidays are anything but cheerful. This season can be especially difficult if you're grieving the loss of a loved one and having to carry on the traditions that carry reminders that feel like a punch to the gut.

            This time of year is challenging for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one. The holiday season can feel like an endless parade of obligations, gatherings, and reminders of what once was. For many people, coping with grief and loss during the holidays is made even more difficult by the overwhelming sense of sadness and isolation.

            In this episode, I chat with Debi Frankle, a self proclaimed grief nerd who has known a lot of dead people over her lifetime. It is possible to get through this difficult time, and Debi shares tips to help you navigate the holidays without losing your mind (or your temper in the baking aisle).

            Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

            1. Learn concrete practices to help get you through the holidays when you are struggling with grief (regardless of how much time has passed).
            2. Understand what makes the holidays so difficult after a loss and ways to consider preparing.
            3. Hear ways you can support someone else as they are grieving.
            4. Gain perspective on why grievers may have a hard time allowing themselves to experience positive emotions after experiencing a loss.

                  Click here 🗣 to tell us your thoughts, leave a voice message or ask a question.

                  Often, people-pleasing and perfectionism go hand in hand. The need to be perfect stems from a fear of not being good enough or disapproval from others. While nothing is inherently wrong with wanting to do our best, when we become wrapped up in trying to please others or achieve perfection, we can lose sight of what is truly important to us.

                  There are many things in this world that you can't control, but your response to it is one thing you always have a choice in. This episode is for you if the need to please and be perfect is becoming debilitating.

                  In this episode, I chat with Montoya McGowan, a therapist and the owner of Stopping the Chase Counseling and Consulting, about how the “rescuers” become the problem solvers and do it to the point where they are no longer putting themselves on this list.  Stop being a Jesus Jr., and listen in!

                  Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

                  1. Understand the illusion of perfectionism and how to stop chasing after it.
                  2. Learn to trust something bigger than you to take care of others.
                  3. Identify ways to protect your mental + emotional energy.

                    Is there something about talking openly and honestly about money that just feels a bit cringe-worthy? We often think of money as a taboo topic, one that's best left unspoken. But if we're going to be truly successful in our lives, we need to talk about money – how we make it, save it, and spend it.

                    If you are ready to get your cue the cringe…but also the learning and dive into the topics that are normally untouched, this episode is for you.

                    In this episode, I chat with Nichole Taylor about the cringe-worthy topics of money and mental health and how you can change your mindset to have more discussions that will reveal opportunities for growth.

                    Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

                    1. Hear ways in which your relationship with money and job identity impact your mental health.
