Episode Summary

 In this episode, Ian and Catch had a great conversation about how the sad times in your life can help you find your motivation and your purpose.

  • Learn that not everyone around you may be compassionate, but it doesn't mean you have to reciprocate in the same way.
  • Learn that there is a glimmer of hope when you are attempting to make sense of a tragic situation, and that hope is a greater awareness of how you would prefer that others not have to go through the same anguish you had.
  • Understand that showing someone you care in any form will help them feel less isolated while they are going through a difficult time of their own life.
  • Discover how to use the pain you have endured to evolve into a better version of yourself so that you may teach others and they can learn from you.

I have 3 boys aged 8 - Lucas was Still Born (died at birth - no warning) and

Cruz 6 ( strong warrior with big heart) 

My boys have been a huge and never-ending soul lesson around Grief, Love and being in the moment.

My background is 20 years in personal performance and business growth. 


I've consulted with over 10,000 traditional business owners on their Why, their What and how they deliver value to the market. Eg: their planning, marketing, finance, sales, systems, etc. 


I've attempted 6 Network/Affiliate marketing companies in 20years and failed at 5... I built an Isagenix business from 2014-2018 to turnover $2million dollars per year of Nutritional products. I also trained on stages to audiences all over Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. I sold my position for multiple six-figure sums in February 2019. (Never happens in MLM)


I've spent six years and thousands of hours with Landmark Education in the world of Being the best human possible... I was a highly effective introduction Leader from 2010-2014. 


I failed a suicide attempt at the end of 2020 due to not being able to process my inner child's wounds and the pain I was experiencing. I took extremely large amounts of psychedelics in a short period of time to cope and ended up in a Psych ward 3 weeks later...  


I've failed more times than most people... 


As you can tell, I live life at the extreme and love to love people HARD! I love Sharing experiences to make a profound difference to another human being AND as Michael Jackson sung "Heal the World.... Make it a better place.. for you and for me and the entire human race!" 

About the Host:


Ian Hawkins is the Founder and Host of The Grief Code. Dealing with grief firsthand with the passing of his father back in 2005 planted the seed in Ian to discover what personal freedom and legacy truly are. This experience was the start of his journey to healing the unresolved and unknown grief that was negatively impacting every area of his life. Leaning into his own intuition led him to leave corporate and follow his purpose of creating connections for himself and others. 


The Grief Code is a divinely guided process that enables every living person to uncover their unresolved and unknown grief and dramatically change their lives and the lives of those they love. Thousands of people have now moved from loss to light following this exact process.

Life Through a Queer Lens Jenene & Kit Life Through a Queer Lens is where queer history, lived experience, and cultural critique collide, unapologetically and with heart.Co-hosted by Jenene (she/they) and Kit (he/they/it)—two queer activists from different generations with shared values and distinct voices. This podcast brings raw, nuanced conversations to life through a blend of education, storytelling, intersectionality, and just the right amount of sass.Together, we unpack the complexity of queerness in today’s world while honoring the legacies and liberation work that brought us here. We dive into topics like evolving queer language, body autonomy, disability justice, gender euphoria, artistic expression, grief, protest, neurodivergence, and chosen family. Whether it’s deep-diving into queer-coded characters in the arts, spotlighting underrepresented voices in our LGBTQIA+ umbrella, or making sense of headlines and harmful legislation, we’re here to ask the har Explicit All the Grief Rebecca Luttrell & Andrea Giron Mathern A  podcast for everyone touched by grief - which, as our hosts figure, is all the humans. Hosted by Rebecca and Andrea, a therapist and a social scientist whose friendship deepened when they were connected by each having lost their father. Through the shared bond of being in “the club no one wants to be in,” they explored death, connection, mortality, and life. As they watched grief be bottled up around them they decided to bring grief to light and continue to explore all the ways that we, all the humans, experience it. They hope to inspire honest dialogue, create connections, and obliterate the loneliness that can come from the societal pressure to hold it alone. We hope you’ll join the conversation. Explicit The Coping Cabana - A Grief Podcast Alexa Greenberg Did someone you love die, and now you don’t know what tf to do with yourself? Welcome to The Coping Cabana. Take a break from the metaphorical heat that is everything else in your life, and join your host Alexa Greenberg in the shade where it’s comfortable.We don't think about grief and loss until we’re forced to go through it personally. So when it inevitably happens, we find ourselves isolated, emotionally and physically inundated, and, if we’re honest, absolutely fucking losing it every time someone asks *us* to tell *them* if *we* need anything.That’s where The Coping Cabana comes in. Each episode, Alexa will be joined by either real people experiencing grief, or experts in the grief, death, and loss space to discuss how to deal with grief in a human way. When Alexa lost her mom, one of the only things that helped was talking to other people who had been through significant loss. Although hope and comfort can be hard to find Explicit grief/relief Moe Provencher Join host Moe Provencher every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month for conversations with some of her favorite people, as they share stories of loss with each other and examine how grief has transformed their lives. You'll hear laughter, sometimes tears, and always profound intimacy. The grief/relief podcast hopes to normalize conversation around the often painful and taboo topic of grief, to explore how change can be beautiful, and how loss affects our lives in unexpected ways. We want to know - how do different people react to loss in all of its forms? Where do they find hope? How does one survive? These candid discussions provide a positive way to engage about grief, bring each other some support through hard times, and also give us a little fun along the way. Explicit
