    Many of us can think of grief as a heavy or tricky topic - which is why I am delighted for you to hear this conversation with Krista St-Germain, who works as a life coach for widowed moms. Krista shares her story of becoming a widowed mom at age 40, and how her personal journey has lead to a career addressing the myths and outdated ideas of grief. Her description of what post-traumatic growth can look like, including the ways to move beyond feeling "stuck" are relevant for you whether you have also lost a loved one, or are experiencing grief in the myriad of other ways it can show up in our lives.Connect with Krista:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifecoachkrista/The Widowed Mom Podcast: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/podcast/Website: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/One of the concepts that comes up in this conversation is the idea of "right-sizing" a relationship that is currently not serving you. Creating Space is my new coaching program that is really about finding your unique way to "right-size" your relationship to your work in healthcare, so that the rest of your humanity has room to breathe and grow!
