    E135: Everything Is Spiritual (Including Grief!) with Rob Bell

    What if death is not a thing we're all waiting for, but instead is an integral part of every second of every day? This week, Rob Bell and I are discussing grief through the lens of his new book Everything Is Spiritual. We're talking about how two total opposites can be true at the same time, why some losses feel like graduations and others feel like divorces, and how to reframe the phrase, "Now what?" from a question of despair to a call for curiosity.   Find Rob's book and work here: https://robbell.com/   Order my new book, Your Grief, Your Way here: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/your-grief-your-way   Find 90-minute Zoom workshops here: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/events   Get grief support for just $3/month!

    E134: Shaping the Story of Grief with Diane Zinna

    Diane Zinna became an adult orphan at 23 after losing her father at 15 and her mother the day she graduated from a master's program in creative writing. Each time she sat down to write, themes of grief and loss filled the page. Diane's new novel, The All-Night Sun, tells the story of a grieving teacher whose losses follow her to a Midsommar's Eve celebration, where things take a dark turn. Today, we're talking about how we decide when to share our grief stories with others, and how common it is for our grief stories to be disjointed, unpredictable, and non-linear.   Find Diane's book, The All-Night Sun here: https://dianezinna.com/   Order my new book, Your Grief, Your Way here: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/your-grief-your-way   Find 90-minute Zoom workshops here: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/events   Get grief support for just $3/month!

    E132: Coming Home to Yourself with Mona Luna

    Within the course of a year, Mona Luna acknowledged two major griefs in her life: the grief of growing up with a father struggling with alcoholism and the grief of enduring emotional abuse in a long-term romantic relationship. Yoga, therapy, and working with life coaches helped her return her to herself after years of never truly feeling "at home". This week, we're talking about creating boundaries after living a life with no boundaries, honoring why it's not selfish to work on yourself, and sharing a helpful re-defining of trauma: "too much; too fast."   Find Mona's work here: https://monalunalove.com/   Order my new book, Your Grief, Your Way here: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/your-grief-your-way   Find 90-minute Zoom workshops here: https://www.shelbyforsythia.com/events   Get grief support for just $3/month!

    E131: Moving the Body Through Loss with Avni Trivedi

    Osteopath, doula, and zero-balancer Avni Trivedi marries Eastern and Western practices to treat grief in the body. After a myriad of losses including being present during her grandmother's stroke, she studied the body, which—intuitively—became a doorway to studying grief. Today, we'll talk bout how the body responds to grief, even years after a loss, how to cope in a world of six feet apart during COVID-19, and how to deal with feeling stuck by moving the body.

    E130: Embodying the Practice of Grief with Sara Chizek

    What does it mean to make love to grief? To welcome it into your body instead of casting it out like garbage? This week, I'm speaking to Sara Chizek about the sensuality and creativity that arrives when we practice the art of grief embodiment. After shutting herself off to the four-year-old girl who lost a father, her exploration of grief in her body opened her up to feeling whole and at home. What would it look like if we tried to practice grieving as much as we practiced resisting grief? Listen in for a powerful conversation.
