Click YouTube to watch the video. Welcome to The Art of Badassery, where we explore living life on your terms, breaking free from the status quo, and unleashing your inner badass. In today's episode, I sit down with the talented poet Cleo Childs, who recently released a spoken word poetry album, "Moving With," about her journey through grief after losing her mother to Alzheimer's. Cleo comes from a lineage of strong women writers, and her grandmother's influence significantly shaped her as a writer. Through this raw and emotional conversation, Cleo shares how she utilized writing and expressing herself through poetry to process her grief. She emphasizes the importance of feeling everything, including suffering and joy, to move through her grief and find peace and acceptance. Cleo also reflects on how grief has led to a transformation in her mindset and priorities, leading her to appreciate the finite nature of life. Join us as we delve into the power of grief, the significance of giving grace, and the art of "being" rather than "doing" in the context of grief. This episode promises to be a deeply insightful and moving exploration of the human experience.
