It's not comfortable or pleasant to talk about but losing a parent - and grief, in general - is inevitable and today's conversation with grief coach, Jacey Keller, will help you be prepared.

Whether you've just experienced a loss, your parents are alive and well, or you're supporting a loved one through their own loss, you'll get something out of today's episode.

We talk about how to not lose yourself to a caregiving role, navigating acute grief right after a loss, how to get yourself to the point where you start taking care of yourself, again, and the best ways to be there while others are grieving.

When Jacey was 17, she lost her mother on Valentine’s Day after a 6-year battle with colon cancer. As a senior in high school, she didn’t know what resources were available.

Jacey ended up gaining over 40lbs as a result of overeating in grief. She battled insomnia and failed her college classes.

She went on to build a life with her husband, two kids, and a career she loves and is passionate about.

Jacey is a certified life coach who helps people rebuild life after losing a parent.

Whether it’s losing the grief weight, navigating family conflict, making decisions…

She is an expert at helping you gain a clear perspective. She helps you make the most intentional decisions in grief with confidence.  

You will find her by her desk in cozy slippers, sipping on a caffeinated ICE drink, while focusing on her mission.

Jacey's mission is to help you remove the heaviness of grief so you can build a life you love again.Follow her on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebuildyourlife.griefcoachFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100071519215475&mibextid=sCpJLyResources:Sunset Stories podcastWidowed Mom podcastGrief to Hope Support Group

You go to the trouble because sitting down for a family meal, even just once a week, is important to you.

But instead of feeling appreaciated and being rewarded with a pleasant time at the table, everyone sits around in silence, shooting down your attempts at conversation with 1 word answers.

Most of us have an inner voice who's pretty critical and can be loud at times (sometimes what feels like all the time).

Having that voice is normal and a byproduct of our brain always being on the lookout for threats to our safety.

While we can't fully eliminate it, today's guest, Cynthia Phelps, is teaching us how we can work on developing an Inner Ally who helps balance out our self-talk and supports us when we need it most.

Her background in pharmacology and neuroscience helps her create programs and products for effective health behavior change. Cynthia started InnerAlly after having a profound recovery experience with implementing self-compassion in her own life, and now she facilitates live and online trainings and private programs to help others to make their own breakthroughs.

Ya know that cycle of wanting to lose weight, committing to whatever diet or workout program, being "good" for a few days, and then falling off and struggling to start again?

We all do, so don't think there's something wrong with you.

On today's episode, I'm interiewing Gary Fahey about why change is so hard and how we can reprogram our brains to make it way easier to do the stuff that'll help us reach the goals we care about.

Gary has worked with, studied under and learned from experts around the world in neuroscience, psychology, peak performance, mental health and habit formation and holds a Masters in Brain and Mind Sciences (specialising in peak performance and leadership), an MBA (specialising in organisational strategy and culture) and a Bachelors degree in Health Science to compliment his ‘on the job’ experience working with high performing individuals, teams and businesses to overcome obstacles in their own search for purpose and peak performance.

Not for long.

Learn what actually causes them (it's not what you think) and how to break the cycle where you give in to them, beat yourself up about it, rinse, and repeat.

Once you know exactly what to do to make cravings go dormant, you'll be so much more successful at overcoming them!
