    Welcome, listeners, to another episode, as we continue once more our journey to explore the depths of grief, love, and the human spirit. Today, we'll discuss their journey into the award-winning documentary “Meet Me Where I Am” with our guests.

    The film explores the many nuances and complexities of grief that individuals grapple with. It may be a little word, but it's mighty powerful when it arrives. The film brings together these nuances and, I believe, normalizes grief.

    To say I'm beyond thrilled is an understatement to have Grant Garry and John Farley with me today!

    Here's what we talk about:

    What inspired the creation of the documentary 'Meet Me Where I Am' and its focus on grief? The symbolism of the train metaphor.In what ways does the documentary address the impact of cultural beliefs on the grieving process?The importance of sharing stories and memories of loved ones to honor their lives and find solace in grief.And much more!

    Welcome everyone to another episode in our grief series. As you know, I not only share stories from our guests who have overcome major challenges in their lives, but I also like to introduce you to different modalities that I believe could be helpful in supporting as we go through many of these.

    So today, I'm delighted to be delving into one such modality: hypnotherapy and how it can help with anxiety, depression, and much more. Our guest is Mike Oglesbee, an acclaimed author and coach who has taught everyone, from kids to adults in their 90s, to overcome mental struggles and become their best selves.

    Mike's first book is Fight Back: End the Cycles of Anxiety and Depression. His second book, Bigger Than Fear, will be released later this year. You may have seen Mike before if you went to the YouTube channel, which we've just started. You may have seen him on TV or heard him on radio shows. He's now breaking into guesting on podcasts, which is why he's with us.

    Here's what we talk about:

    Mike's understanding of the mind and behavior influence his career choice in hypnotherapy.Align thoughts, emotions, and actions with desired outcomes by making different choices.The power of the subconscious mind.How can individuals overcome their fear of change?And much more!

    Welcome back, listeners, and hi to our new ones who found us on YouTube. This is a new adventure for the Let's Talk About Grief podcast. Please like or comment, especially if there's a topic that we haven't covered and you would be interested in exploring.

    Today, we're going to be talking about navigating grief when you're a highly competent woman in a leadership role. And even if you're not, or you don't recognize or let yourself feel that you're a highly competent woman, rest assured that you all are. Our guest will have wisdom nuggets that will apply to everyone. So please stay with us!

    I am thrilled to chat again with Debra Woog, a crisis navigation partner with 30+ years of experience as a leadership researcher, executive, and advisor. Her research was carried out primarily at Harvard Business School, and she's also the researcher of an award-winning book. Her work has been featured in Forbes and other large publications.

Connection and community are essential in a crisis. As a leader who has navigated my own unanticipated challenges, I know first-hand the value of smart, collaborative expertise, especially for women who feel solo in life or work. As supremely capable as we are, we are even better when we cross difficult roads together.

    With a B.A. in psychology from Wellesley College and an MBA from MIT Sloan School of Management, I am able to provide both emotional and practical underpinnings for problem-solving, including research, resource matching, and communication strategy. I’m here for you.

    As I've mentioned, A Soldier Against All Odds is where Jason will dive deep into his profound challenges. It will offer us valuable insight, dear listeners, into how one can endure heartache, fulfill responsibilities, and emerge even stronger than before. Through his indomitable spirit, Jason's story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with loss and adversity and questioning their ability to persevere.

    Welcome, listeners, to another Let's Talk About Grief podcast show. Today, we will be delving into the complexities of navigating grief and trauma in today's fast-paced world.

    How do we stay connected when we often feel so disconnected? I'm thrilled to have Dr. Carl Nassar as our guest today. He's a distinguished expert who brings a unique perspective to this very subject. He has a background in engineering and a Doctorate from McGill University. Dr. Nassar combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of the human mind.

    As you know, listeners, this is a topic I adore. And I'm passionate about it. Dr. Nassar has an upcoming book, which will be released in 2024, called Born For A Better World. This explores the pressures and isolation in our society, particularly in the post-COVID era.

    I'm certain Dr. Nassar's insights will shed light on how we can find relief from the exhaustion and the disconnection that's so prevalent in our modern-day lives!

    Here's what we talk about:

    In today's fast-paced world, navigating the complexities of grief and trauma poses a unique set of challenges.How does cultural identity influence an individual's perception of belonging?Allow the emotion to surface and acknowledge its presence rather than suppressing feelings.In what ways does the idea that grief is meant to be shared challenge societal norms around coping with loss?And much more!

    Welcome to our podcast, dear listeners. I'm Anne, your host. And today, we have a really thought-provoking topic to delve into - suicide. And I'm privileged to have Lisa Sugarman as our guest. Lisa is an incredible parenting author, a syndicated columnist, and a survivor herself of suicide loss. Lisa is also a crisis counselor with the Trevor Project.

    We recognize that suicide, unfortunately, is a tragic occurrence that can leave us feeling bewildered and grappling for the answers that question why seems almost impossible to comprehend and leaves families with lasting trauma and torment. In their grief, families may even harbor a sense of responsibility, believing they could have somehow prevented it. To shed some light on this distressing subject and gain, as I mentioned, a deeper understanding of the increasing rates of suicide, I now turn to our esteemed guest, Lisa.

    Here's what we talk about:

    Lisa's experience when discovering the truth about her father's death.What factors contribute to the increasing number of children experiencing suicidal thoughts?Changing the stigma about suicide is crucial!What is the primary purpose of a lifeline, and how does it serve individuals in crisis?And much more!

    Today, with my guest, Julie Ryan, we're going to be sharing some ways that you may be able to navigate the holiday season that we're both very aware can be triggering and can make you want to hide under the bed close until the spring.

    We both experienced loss and are willing to share - if that may be helpful as we carry on our conversation. But before I go down any more rabbit holes, let me introduce our guest, Julie Ryan!

    Here's what we talk about:

    Navigating holidays with the memory of a deceased loved one.What events or circumstances during the holidays often trigger memories of a loved one who passed away?The two-minute rule.In what ways can expressing your feelings to your deceased loved ones contribute to the healing of grief?And much more!

    Welcome listeners to the Let's Talk About Grief Podcast. Our topic today is slightly different from where we normally go. But it's equally as important. It's about divorce.

    All too often, the person going through a divorce doesn't recognize the emotional turmoil. Their feeling is that of grief. The relationship is over, but a death hasn't occurred. But indeed, a death has. We just don't speak about it in those terms. It's the death of dreams and hopes of a future with that person that actually dies, that are happy ever after expectations are gone.

    And our society doesn't help us either! All too often, people will shy away from people grieving a death. So it isn't surprising that there isn't much support given to somebody going through a divorce.

    I know, going through my own many years ago, it was often suggested that: "I'd be better off without the person" or "just go out; you're young enough. You can find another". Looking back on those comments, it made me feel my marriage was disposable instead of a commitment that we had both once made.

    I'm absolutely thrilled to have our guest, Velma Gallant, with us today, who's going to be discussing this topic with me. Velma is the divorcee herself who now helps professional women return to joy, using her propriety heart compass method, and is a co-host of a TV show called Heart-repreneur.

    Here's what we talk about:

    How divorce can lead to a path of self-discovery.Divorce can be more emotionally challenging than death.What is the Heart Compass Method?Society often fails to acknowledge divorce as a form of grief, which can lead to individuals feeling isolated in their emotional struggles!What are some common emotions experienced by individuals going through a divorce?And much more!

    Welcome, listeners, to another Let's Talk About Grief podcast episode. This is where we often dive deep into the profound emotions and transformative power of navigating our grief.

    Our topic today is about multiple deaths and losses experienced within a short period of time. How does someone find the strength even to catch their breath and resurface amidst the receding waters of grief, only to be hit by subsequent waves of sorrow? I'm certain our next guest may have some answers. I'm really honored to have Theo Boyd as our guest.

    Now, a little about Theo: she's a writer, and I understand she often writes poems with her dad. She learned many hardships from her mom. She was a high school teacher teaching English and Creative Writing and continues to write as a guest columnist for several local newspapers. And she's also a podcast host herself. Theo's story is depicted in a very heartfelt memoir, My Grief Is Not Like Yours.

    Learning to live unimaginable loss is a testament to resilience, faith, and the indomitable human spirit. We will certainly dive into her book, where I know she bears her soul, sharing these unimaginable events that unfolded in her world!

    Here's what we talk about:

    Discover how Theo found purpose by turning her misery into a ministry of hope and support.How has Theo's journey of coping with multiple losses and trauma shaped her perspective on life and resilience?In times of loss, offering support without judgment is crucial, simply allowing people to grieve.Why is it important to be aware of and avoid unhealthy ways of dealing with grief?And much more!
