    Facing the Grief of Society with Community and Understanding with Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy

    In today's society, it can be easy to find ourselves overwhelmed by unease and fear and simply grieving what used to be. In this episode with healers and storytellers Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy, they share about learning to manage our sense of discomfort around others with differentiating views and how we can use the power of positive belonging and community for healing and understanding.  Lewis and Barbara co-direct the Coyote Institute, where they are committed to bridging Indigenous wisdom, storytelling, psychology, and modern medicine. They share about their exciting 5th Annual Two-Eyed Seeing Conference coming up in January and tell stories of spiritual healing across many disciplines. The episode ends with a powerful metta meditation to offer yourself acceptance and kindness so that you can go on to wish those same affirmations on the ones we love, as well as those who make us uncomfortable. Lewis and Barbara were the very first guests on the Walk Through Grief with Grace podcast, and as these four years of the show come to an end, it is an honor to welcome them back on for a message of love, deep listening, and collaboration in a divisive world.   Learn more about Lewis and Barbara's work at the Coyote Insititute and their upcoming events at https://www.coyote-institute.org/ - Sign up for one of Jenn's 20-minute complimentary Joy Jumpstart Calls to take a pause, breathe, and release tension holding you back from joy and ease: https://calendly.com/revjenncormier/joy-jump-start - Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/ - Music by Daniel Plane: www.reelcello.com Podcast production by Caitlin Epstein

    Conquering Stress Through Self Love and Transformation with Dee Cloud

    Are you your own worst critic? Are you especially tough on yourself as you face grief, health issues, relationship struggles, parenthood, or other challenges? If so, this episode is for you. Jenn is joined by Breast Cancer Recovery Strategist and Mentor Dee Manuel Cloud to talk about the work Dee did to transform her life after her second breast cancer diagnosis. It was a wake up call that led her to leave an unhappy marriage, embrace her queer identity, improve her health, reduce stress, and help other breast cancer survivors protect their peace through her Gracefully Protecting Self (GPS) Initiative.   In just this one podcast episode, Dee provides 3 key ingredients for transformation and so much encouragement to treat ourselves with kindness, compassion, and grace. She reminds us that things will not change in the same environment that broke us and gives the encouragement we need to peel back the layers we have covered ourselves in to shield the true, vulnerable parts of yourself at the center. No matter what challenges you are faced with right now, this interview will leave you ready to face them head on.   Learn more about Dee and her work at https://www.deemanuelcloud.com/ and follow her on all social media platforms @iamdeemanuelcloud - Sign up for one of Jenn's 20-minute complimentary Joy Jumpstart Calls to take a pause, breathe, and release tension holding you back from joy and ease: https://calendly.com/revjenncormier/joy-jump-start - Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/   - Music by Daniel Plane: www.reelcello.com

    Honoring Life's Transitions and Befriending Grief with Sandra Sa

    Rest. Create Space. Remember. Three simple steps for any stage of grief or life transitions to help you decompress, sit with powerful emotions, and excavate gems of truth and wisdom that may transform into something beautiful. Befriending grief and realizing the power of authenticity and vulnerability have helped Educator and host of the Shift Sisters podcast, Sandra Sa, share the story of her grief after her sister's death through poems, paintings, podcast episodes, and more. The soft, dedicated containers for grief and healing that she has been a part of for the past few years have allowed her to tend to her grief as an extension of herself and honor the struggles of not just grief, but all of lifes transitions - taking on new titles, becoming a parent, getting married or divorced, starting a new job, and so much more. By slowing down and sitting with the feelings around these shifts, we can allow ourselves to heal, share, and empower others as Sandra has done so well.   Listen to the Shift Sisters Podcast at https://shiftsisterspodcast.com/ - Listen to Sandra's poem about her sister in Episode 68: Creativity: How We Rise from the Ashes of Loss Community Roundtable - Sign up for one of Jenn's 20-minute complimentary Joy Jumpstart Calls to take a pause, breathe, and release tension holding you back from joy and ease: https://calendly.com/revjenncormier/joy-jump-start - Learn more about the Grace Collective at gracecollective.us - Get your free guidebook at www.walkthroughgriefwithgrace.com - Join the Grief and Grace private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/176177430380895/ - Music by Daniel Plane: www.reelcello.com Podcast production by Caitlin Epstein
