Grief is complicated and overwhelming enough as it is, let alone feeling like friends or people around us for judging how we feel..

''Shouldn't you be over it by now?''

''I think it's time you move on''

''Perhaps it's best you let it go'' 

These are all things we've likely had said to us as people who are grieving loved ones. It can leaves us thinking in ways that makes us feel ashamed, resentful and lonely. So today's episode I get vulnerable about my personal experience with this since losing my sister 7 years ago. I share the 3 ways I've found helpful in handling friends who simply don't understand what you're going through with your grief. By the end of this episode you will understand how to release these negative emotions and chanel your energy towards weaving your grief into your life in a way that doesn't lessen the pain, but certainly no longer makes you bitter or ashamed about it.

What A Word Symone Talks I am Symone D, Founder and CEO of “SymoneTalks,” an organization I began as a woman who suffered in my childhood from depression, along with suicidal thoughts and ideation. I felt bound by such feelings, but once I got over the hurdles and began being comfortable talking about it, I began providing myself and others permission to be vulnerable and transparent about not being okay and provide therapeutic healing through talking.Once I was comfortable talking about it, I struggled to find a space where women could come and simply “check-in”.Now as a mental health advocate I created the space What CAN I do? Allian Me Yo It has been quite a while now with Covid19. I don’t have much to do since I stay at home and wander my house. Now I do. Here you can get quick tips, a uplifting poem, and a little motivation to keep you through the “now”This is okay for ALL viewers!

You need some help. There’s a situation you could have handled differently. There’s some time wasted. You probably don’t feel like yourself and it’s exhausting.Yet, there will be a day when you will be a capable teacher with a toolbox of skills that you’ll be able to competently employ in a multitude of situations. There will be a time when people will look to you as an expert in the field of education. It hasn’t happened yet, but it will.This podcast is meant to help you find your way during those first few years of teaching. We’ll talk with experienced teachers to find practical ways for you to tackle the early part of your teaching career. We’ll give you some inspiration to keep you going. We’ll make it okay to make a few mistakes so that you can learn from them and become the teacher you want to be.Because you’re not a great teacher. YET. PodKat Kat Williamson Had a rough day? Is life just giving you lemons left and right? Well, why don't you just come chill with your new best friends and we can talk about it? Kat Williamson, our host and the glue that holds us all together, is handing you your favorite beverage. Derek Hawkins, future king of Wakanda, is coming in with his snuggie and your favorite blanket. John Lovell, tall and awkward as ever, is just now lighting a warm fire. Okay, none of that is really happening. BUT that is what it's going to feel like when you come listen to the PodKat: straight chilling with your homies. Come talk with us about life, relationships, working, and ministry. Enjoy a few laughs, maybe even a few tears, and we will all grow together as people. Hopefully.
