We deep dive into the wounds and fears that prevent us from taking our own care seriously while trying to keep everyone around us happy.

The stages of change greatly resemble the stages of grief. In part, this is because grief forces change upon us. In recovery from addiction, mental illness, trauma or any other issue, these stages hold true. We introduce each of the six stages of change in this first of three episodes and then take a deep dive into them in parts 2 and 3. The meditation here is meant to prepare you to find the changes you need to make through honest introspection and prepare you to move fully into the stages from pre-contemplation to contemplation to the action!

In a continuation of last week's episode and dealing with the grief of a loss, we dive into Kubler Ross's five stages of grief and the non-linearity of that experience. We do a meditation to create a holding space for the emotions that the grief brings and discuss using those stages and the process of grief to create both empathy and change.

This Easter has me thinking a lot. I don't normally share that I am a Christian but felt that it was time to step out as we discuss connection. I want to connect with those in the Christian community still driven by fear. Fear of other, fear of war, fear of death, fear of exclusion. Fear is the real enemy that separates us from connection. The real message of Easter is to let go of fear and brave connection.
