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. Needless to say, Debra's accomplishments are outstanding!
 
Here's what we talk about:
Debra's experiences navigating personal crises while maintaining a successful career.The importance of resilience, communication, capacity, and community support during challenging times.How does Debra help her clients communicate effectively and make decisions during crises?Strategies that can be employed to motivate clients to engage in self-care and seek respite during challenging times.And much more! 
 About Debra:
I’m Debra Woog (pronounced like “Vogue”). I work from my home office in Arlington, MA, as my two terrific teenagers attend school. By nature, I am a connector and a community builder. 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.

However, I am certain others will think, "Oh, I don't need to listen to this. I don't need this yet." Please, before you go, I would love you to stick around just a little bit longer to hear what my guest, Jonathan Fleece, has to say about his company, Empath Health, one of the country's largest not-for-profit health systems, delivering non-acute care services in the US.

There is also a link to a newly released film called Suncoast. Jonathan is the Empath president and, as I've mentioned, a CEO. I'm looking forward to discussing how this organization and the unique connection came about. 

As this levels, many areas that somebody going through grief, anticipatory grief is likely to experience, and just why having an end-of-life conversation with our loved ones is so very important. 
 
Here's what we talk about:
Jonathan's personal experience of losing a loved one led him to dedicate his life's work to end-of-life care.End-of-life conversations and their importanceAddressing the multidimensional nature of grief to support individuals and families in their journey.The film 'Suncoast' and its impactAnd much more!

Welcome everyone to our heartfelt space, where we weave hope, wisdom, compassion, and an understanding into the fabric of our conversation about one of life's most profound challenges - grief and loss. We recognize that few experiences come as deeply as the pain of losing a loved one, especially when the loss comes at the hand of a silent battle with inner demons. 

Today, we're going to be stepping into that realm often shrouded in silence and taboo, the heart-wrenching topic of suicide.

We're engaging in a candid conversation with Dr. Keith McNally, whose multifaceted life story includes surviving suicide, as well, if that wasn't enough, a heart attack. Among his many pursuits, now, he is aiming to support suicide survivors, as well as their families.

Our guest has a diverse professional background as a social worker, a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, and a survivor's testimony. He also brings a wealth of insight into the labyrinth of human suffering and resilience. And I'd love you to warmly welcome Dr. Keith McNally to our show today!
 
Here's what we talk about:
The internal conflicts and struggles faced by individuals dealing with suicidal thoughts.What strategies does Dr. McNally employ to cope with suicidal thoughts?Emotional or psychological states might indicate that someone is at risk of suicidal ideation.What are some common misconceptions or myths surrounding suicide?And much more!
