Turning Loss into Levity: Ebrace the Creative Grief Journey

The host returns after a pause and explains stepping away due to feeling overwhelmed and taking a stressful full-time, on-call job that they later resigned from. After leaving, new aligned opportunities emerged, including joining a retreat in November in Belize and collaborating with Younique Wellness in Bellevue, Ohio on potential art classes and a day-long retreat, alongside deeper self-healing through a creatives group with Garrin Ase, revisiting The Artist’s Way, daily exercise, and making hearts for The Great Mother March. Drawing from major losses—her father and her son Bradley—she emphasizes grief as non-linear, advocates creativity, conversation, and simple daily “grief lessons,” encourages asking others for notes and memories, and previews a seven-week grief recovery program plus a free 30-day journaling email prompt. 00:00 Welcome Back Update00:54 Why I Paused01:09 Quitting the Job02:06 New Retreat Opportunities02:32 Wellness Center Collabs03:43 Investing in Healing04:38 Free Journaling Challenge05:21 Art Hearts Practice06:29 Discipline and Guidance07:13 My Losses and Why08:59 Podcast Is Back10:04 Grief Lessons and Community11:13 Brad's Memory Book11:50 Ask for Support14:54 Season Preview15:57 Meta Glasses Tech16:40 Final Thanks🌀 Join the Creative Grief Journey Group for Emotional Empowerment...and support on Skool 🌟HERE 🌟Join my email list and don't miss a thing!
