The Creative Grief Journey

Dawn explains that grief affects the body as well as emotions, often causing deep exhaustion, heaviness, brain fog, pain, sleep and appetite changes, gut issues, immune crashes, and nervous system and hormonal disruption. Drawing on personal experiences after losing her son and later a father, she describes “grief brain,” difficulty thinking, and how society’s pressure to “keep going” conflicts with a body stuck in survival mode. She challenges common beliefs such as needing to be strong or that time alone heals, emphasizing restoration and rest. Small, consistent actions—journaling, making the bed, stretching, walking, sunlight, cooking, music, and simple creative practices like doodling—can build momentum, support dopamine and endorphin release, and help move grief through the body. There is a free Creative Grief Journey Skool community, journal prompts, and upcoming retreats in Belize and Ohio.00:00 Grief Lives in the Body01:41 Physical Signs and Survival Mode03:13 Grief Brain and Trauma Fog04:49 Symptoms Checklist and Nervous System07:44 Grief Myths and Permission to Rest08:57 Tiny Habits and Creative Healing12:41 Self Soothing and Momentum14:25 Community Support and Retreat Tools16:16 Nature’s Pace of Healing18:16 Closing Encouragement and Share🔆 Transform you grief, Start a 30 days journal habit!

In this episode, the host shares a personal shift in her grief journey, describing grief and life as ongoing works in progress and suggesting grief can be a catalyst for joy, abundance, freedom, and contentment. Drawing from Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret, she outlines three steps—ask, believe, and receive—and explains how vision boards and detailed visualization (including her goal of owning a Mercedes-Benz) support manifestation alongside consistent action. She recounts a difficult week of missing Brad and how returning to gratitude, creative projects, and supportive, like-minded people helped her shift. Examples include receiving a $500 escrow refund, improved health through consistent weight training and nutrition, new job opportunities, finding a lost iPad, and booking a better-paid wedding portrait. She encourages morning routines, journaling, gratitude lists, and joining her Skool community or seven-week Creative Grief Journey Method program.00:00 A Shift in Grief01:37 Finding Joy in Ordinary Moments02:24 Happiness Is Inside04:07 Law of Attraction Basics05:36 Visualization and Vision Boards06:47 A Grief Dip and Reset08:15 Programs and Community Support09:07 Life Happens for Me10:42 Money Miracle Example12:25 Vision Board Tour13:18 Consistency Creates Change15:08 Jobs and New Opportunities16:51 Contentment and Unexpected Wins19:46 Letting Go to Move Forward20:32 Applying This to Grief23:21 Daily Routines to Shift Energy24:47 Closing Invitation and Goodbye🔆 Transform you grief, Start a 30 days journal habit!

The speaker, a nurse practitioner who has experienced multiple traumatic losses, discusses how grief commonly disrupts sleep through rumination, intrusive thoughts, stress and hormone changes, noting research that up to 91% of people with complicated grief have sleep problems and that untreated insomnia can worsen depression, anxiety and PTSD. They recommend cognitive behavioral therapy and share practical sleep-hygiene strategies: consistent bedtimes, reducing screen time and moving phones away, keeping the room cool, creating a wind-down ritual, using calming music or guided meditation, breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, limiting caffeine after noon and avoiding alcohol. They also mention options like occasional melatonin, potassium, essential oils, herbal teas, journaling (including dream journaling), mantras, and possibly weighted blankets, emphasizing persistence, seeking therapy or short-term medical help if needed, and finding support through community and lifelines.00:00 Grief And Sleepless Nights01:48 Why Grief Disrupts Sleep03:49 Help Options And Therapy05:06 Bedtime Routine Basics07:11 Music Breathing Meditation09:24 Caffeine Alcohol And Relaxation10:57 Natural Sleep Supports13:52 Journaling And Support17:04 Mantras And Final Encouragement🔆 Transform you grief, Start a 30 days journal habit!

The speaker shares a recent experience of feeling immobilized by grief despite trying coping strategies, emphasizing that “vegging out” isn’t failure and that grief isn’t something to fix but to manage through normal ups and downs. They introduce practical five-minute “grief hacks” that can be used anytime and explain why they work: breath-work (including longer exhales and box breathing) to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and vagus nerve; writing it out (handwriting preferred) to engage the brain, reduce amygdala reactivity, and declutter thoughts; body movement/dancing to release stored emotions and regulate the nervous system; Healing Touch with hand-over-heart and supportive mantras to self-soothe and release oxytocin; stepping outside/grounding in nature to reduce cortisol and reconnect; and creativity (drawing, doodling, coloring, bilateral stimulation) to lower stress and activate reward and flow states. They also suggest gratitude or spiritual rituals, building a morning routine, and joining their free Skool community with journal prompts.00:00 Feeling Stuck in Grief01:21 Unhelpful Coping Habits02:50 Five Minute Reset Plan04:42 Breathwork for Calm07:24 Journal It Out12:38 Move Your Body14:47 Healing Touch Self Soothe16:56 Step Outside and Ground19:06 Creativity as Medicine21:41 Gratitude and Wrap Up🔆 Transform you grief, Start a 30 days journal habit!

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🔆 Transform you grief, Start a 30 days journal habit!

🎙️✨ Hey there! I’m so excited to share this week’s episode with you, where I had a heartfelt conversation with the incredible Gail Keyes-Allen. We dove deep into a topic that’s close to my heart: the importance of financial freedom, especially for women in their mid to later years. If you’ve ever felt that tug to take control of your financial future but weren’t sure where to start, this episode is for you. It’s time to take the reins! We both believe that everyone—yes, even you—should consider owning a little business, whether it’s a side hustle or a passion project that lights you up. So, what’s holding you back? Gail and I talked about how financial freedom isn’t just about having a hefty bank account. For us, it’s about the experiences and connections we create. I shared how my days are filled with joy thanks to my six-year-old granddaughter, and Gail spoke about living with her sweet five-year-old grandson. The freedom and happiness they bring into our lives are worth so much more than money can buy. Gail also shared some profound insights on mindset, making bold decisions, and facing fears that can hold us back from achieving our dreams. This episode is packed with inspiration and practical advice for anyone looking to step into their power as a woman today. So, grab a cozy spot, and let’s connect on this journey toward financial freedom together. You deserve it!  If you’re seeking freedom in your life—whether it’s freedom from negative thoughts, grief, financial stress, or anxiety—consider downloading Time for Freedom.
