13: 5 Minute Fridays: Finding Meaning With Grief

While we are all actively navigating through individual and collective grief, I introduce David Kessler's newest step to the 5 steps of grief: finding and creating meaning. This solo-pod is a primer to help you understand the message of our emotions, namely grief and anger and how to best process them for closure.  In this 5 Minute Friday, you will learn:  How grief can be sneaky  What feeling the feeling to completion means and how this plays out in practice  What anger is here to tell us  How we can strengthen the muscle of avoidance or attention to emotions How grief is a sign that you have loved  How creating meaning during and after loss provides closure  I recommend watching Pixar's movie, Inside Out to navigate learning the meaning of emotions.  To learn more about Elisa and The School of Unlearning podcast, follow her on Instagram.  Elisa's Instagram account The School of Unlearning podcast on Instagram To schedule a discovery call with Elisa on Conscious Living and Leadership Coaching, please click here.  Elisa Haggarty is a Conscious Leadership Coach and host of The School of Unlearning Podcast. Elisa has been a coach for over 18 years- from college basketball to nutrition to more recently helping leaders bring more consciousness and play into their personal and work lives. Her work is influenced by a philosophy and belief that, "life happens for you" which has been a through line for Elisa her entire life. Believing life happens for you begs the question, "how can I learn and grow from whatever is happening?". She has sought to find and create meaning from every chapter of her life and empowers her clients and teams to do the same. From her first heartbreak, first job loss, divorce and enduring the grief that comes with slowly losing her Dad to a rare form of Dementia, Elisa's rich life experience and humble curiosity is what allows others to connect with her, and ultimately themselves in a deeper way. She finds joy in making her friends homemade chocolate and can most often be found hiking or spending time in nature and has two adorable cats, Josie and Lou. Become a Patron!
