75: Hoping and Coping

I know there is a lot of sadness, anger, pain and fear pulsing through our country right now. I wanted to use this episode to give you some thoughts on how to honor your feelings and your grief, while taking steps to continue showing up in all the areas of your life where you are needed right now.    There is tremendous strength, power, and hope on the other side of grief. But you have to work through the grief to find it.    Right now, any chance you have to prove yourself strong and capable is an opportunity. This might start with a workout, or a letter to a public official, or attending a gathering in support of a cause you wholeheartedly support.    Action is important, no matter how small. It will let you find your legs and your voice.    Action will allow you to heal.    Action will show your kids you are a fighter.    Action will slowly unravel the knot in your belly.    Listen in for some inspiration (and a few laughs) that might help you take a few step forward.   Links Mentioned: SMA Episode 68 with Kim Ades – on how to have a family meeting Website: Tolerance.org Articles on how to talk to children about Trump and the election: How Do You Talk To Your Kids About The Election?
