Episode 194:  Accepting What We Can't Control

3/1/2023

 
Can you relate to feeling stuck? If so then take a listen to this week's episode about accepting what we can't control. Many things happen in life that we have no control over and when those things happen, we may start to worry and as we know, nothing ever good comes from worrying. One of the best ways to cope with things we can't control is to practice acceptance as it allows us to find the energy to push forward instead of staying stuck as a victim in our situation. Enjoy!

Episode 193: Prolonged Grief Disorder

2/22/2023

 
On this week's episode I'm talking about prolonged grief disorder. When it comes to grieving we all have different paths to follow and many people find ways to cope and move through their loss, over time their symptoms of grief begin to decrease enough to allow them to keep moving forward with their life. However, someone who might be struggling with prolonged grief disorder may feel stuck in their emotional pain so much so that it interferes with their daily life, there's a constant yearning and longing for the person who has died and they have no idea how they will ever get their life back together. Many people and can't figure out what's going on with them and don't realize they have it.

Episode 190:  Avoiding Your Grief

2/1/2023

 
On this week's episode, I'm talking about looking for some signs that show you might be avoiding your grief. On a daily basis either consciously or unconsciously we use avoidance in some way shape or form, and we will especially use it when we have to deal with thoughts and feelings that are uncomfortable and cause pain. Many use avoidance when it comes to grief because they may not want, or are not prepared to face their heartache so they will try to avoid. However, avoidance doesn't work for us.

Episode 189: Self-Care For Caregivers

1/25/2023

 
On this week's podcast episode, I'm talking about the importance of self-care for caregivers. What do they tell you on an airplane when the oxygen mask comes down in front of you, "please put your own mask on first before assisting anyone else" because, only when we first help ourselves can we effectively help others. And if you are a caregiver and are not taking care of yourself, overtime the physical, emotional, and mental demands of caring for someone can become exhausting which will soon lead to extreme fatigue and burnout, but by taking care of yourself in a healthy way will help you to be the best caregiver you want to be. Enjoy!
