    Reclaiming her Voice through Art & Writing with Lori Brookes

    Reclaiming Her Voice Through Art & Writing with Lori Brookes In this heartfelt episode, we explore the journey of a woman who felt emotionally frozen after the loss of a relationship and struggled to reconnect with herself and her sense of purpose. Through photography and writing, she slowly began to express the feelings she could not always put into words, discovering healing, creativity, and a deeper connection to her inner voice along the way. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that even after heartbreak, creativity can help us rediscover who we are, reclaim our voice, and begin creating a new chapter filled with meaning, self-expression, and hope. Lori Brookes is a local Big Bear author and an award-winning published photographer. She picked up the camera as a healing modality after the end of a long-term marriage, which led to a healing and later an unintended profession. Who knew? Writing followed as she created quips and spiritual insights about her photography pieces. Lori sees almost everything as a metaphor in life, everything brings meaning to the process of living and healing. In 2016 she took on a year-long hiking journey that was divinely gifted and filled up her cup, which in turn helped her navigate another series of unexpected losses. Lori channeled the revelations of that journey into her first memoir, The Unintended Positive Consequence of Hiking, a cathartic process of navigating loss. Writing, hiking, world travel, and creating images are the passions that continue to hold her heart up.

    Honoring Grief Your Own Way Christie Walker Bos

    Trust After Trauma #41- Honoring Grief Your Own Way Christie Walker Bos In this heartfelt episode, we explore how every person experiences grief differently and why there is no “right” timeline for healing after the loss of a loved one. Together, we discuss the many ways people cope with loss, the importance of giving ourselves grace through the grieving process, and how healing can look different from one person to another. This conversation offers compassion, understanding, and hope for anyone learning how to carry love, loss, and life forward in their own way.  Questions we'll explore: How did your experience with grief change your understanding of healing and loss?Why do you believe it’s important for people to release the pressure of grieving a certain “right” way?What helped you find moments of peace, connection, or hope while navigating your grief journey? Christie Walker Bos fell in love with writing at the age of 12 when she received her first diary. Every entry began with “I woke up…”Thankfully, she has improved her writing skills immensely since then, although at 71-years-old, she is still happy that she wakes up every day! A professional photographer and journalist in the seventies, a stay-at-home mom in the eighties, a journalist once again in the nineties, leading to the publication of her first work of fiction in 2003, Walker Bos has been writing for several decades. “I am inspired by everyday people and how they manage to love and laugh even in the face of hardships and challenges. They are the heroes and heroines of my novels. Average people like you and me.” Walker Bos lives in the Southern California mountain community of Big Bear Lake with her husband Robbie and dog Rae Skyler Walker.
