grief & emotions

This week I'm sharing two of my favorite readings.

The holiday season often conjures images of joy, togetherness, and celebration. However, for many, this time can also serve as a brutal reminder of loss and the ache of grief. Whether it's the absence of a loved one, the strain of fractured relationships, or the weight of unmet expectations, the holidays can magnify the complexities of grief.

There's a name for grief we don't feel like we're allowed to have or that is not acknowledged by society, it's called disenfranchised grief.

Today I interview former Animal Care Director and Life Coach Kelly Mullins. She has her own unique experience of burnout and grief associated with both her personal life and her work in animal welfare.

I know you're a "fixer" for animals but what happens when humans around you are experiencing emotional pain from grief, anxiety, depression or heartbreak? You're naturally tendency is to try and fix them and you can't (and they don't need you to!). There are things you can do for people to support, validate and love them. This episode is that!

I'm not talking about an "actual" funeral in this episode. I'm talking what you can do when things don't go how you want. Give yourself a 5-Second Funeral, let it go and move on.
