In this episode of the Podcast, we talked about grief, how it should be processed if done correctly. We talk about the various stages of grief and also talked briefly about divorce too.

Why the Grief Series Podcast? Why talk about grief?
Why the Grief Series Podcast? Why talk about grief? As early as March a lot of people lost someone they held dear to them, it wasn’t until October that I too was personally and permanently affected by a death. My life changed the day I found out my dad died. Like everything else I do, I decided I wanted to find out more and share my perspective and to hear from others. That’s how the grief series started, with one podcast episode as the goal, but as I spoke with people to find that one person to interview I quickly came to understand that GRIEF was very deep.
Who is today’s Podcast for, it really is for everyone who wants to find the tools to become better in all they do, to get to that higher version of themselves they were created to be? And this doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with those of us that aspire to be better, what we do know is that to do our highest work and to show up as our highest self we need to be self-aware.
