Navigating grief can be a difficult journey to conquer alone, especially if you've never done it before. Some think they can bypass pain and grief completely and just skip to joy. Others believe they don’t deserve joy amid so much loss. Joy is not something that must be earned or can only come as result of a prior effort, and grief is not something that needs to exist in a vacuum and consume every waking moment of your life.

Today, we're joined by Sally Douglas and Imogen Carn, hosts of the popular podcast Good Mourning where they both shine a light on what grief is really like with honesty, hope and humor. We chat about their new book, how to make the conversation about loss and grief more approachable, putting a positive spin on grief anniversaries, how grief affects a person's body and mind, how to finally take the approach forward towards joy.

New relationships and connections can be so fun and exciting, but sometimes there is a voice in the back of your head reminding you of your past. Unfortunately, a lot of us have experienced trauma and it can be daunting to approach the topic in a new connection. Learning how to navigate this complicated history while dating can be extremely overwhelming. Timing is everything, for you and your partner.

Today, we are joined by Carm from Girls Gotta Heal. She's here to help us understand how to protect yourself when opening up to a new connection, understanding if this is the right person to give your trust to, and how to ultimately trust yourself again. You're a growing person who deserves to feel loved and to love after trauma. We just hope we can help!

Some of us are closed to off to feeling our feelings. We'd rather not have the "distraction," while others where them on their sleeves. Sometimes, we may not even be consciously aware of our emotional state. There's a lot that both parties can learn from each other and that's what we're dissecting today. We discuss why it's socially normal to avoid feelings, how people process grief, all the ways we try to avoid our emotions, what's really wrong with avoiding emotions, and why it's skillful to learn when and where to process your feelings.

No one likes fighting with friends, but it's bound to happen every once in a while. Navigating a falling out with a friend can be tricky, but not impossible. Should you stick it out or is it time to take inventory of your friendship and possibly walk away? We're helping you take notice of a toxic friendship, what healthy disagreements look like, when should you walk away, and when a friendship is worth it and should be treasured at all costs!
